WELCOME TO MIMI BEAUTY CLINICS | THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS | 
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning, including artificial tanning, 2 weeks prior to the treatment.
  • Discontinue use of retinoids, acids, or any exfoliating agents 3 to 5 days prior to treatment.
  • Avoid harsh skincare treatments for at least 2 weeks, including chemical peels, laser, microdermabrasion, microneedling, etc.

  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin if possible.
  • Hydrate well before and after the treatment for optimal recovery.
  • Plan to spend 1.5 to 2 hours in the clinic, as the anesthesia before treatment takes about an hour.

  • Neurotoxin, such as Botox or Dysport, injected to facial muscles within 2 weeks prior to treatment.
  • Known allergy or sensitivity to nickel, stainless steel, or other metals
  • Current or history of skin cancer, any other type of cancer, or premalignant moles.
  • Pregnancy and nursing.
  • Severe concurrent conditions, such as cardiac disorders or sensory disturbances.

If this occurs, medication or active ingredients can penetrate the skin and lead to an allergic reaction, prolonged healing time, excessive swelling, and granulomas. Ensure that any products applied to the treated area are specifically recommended for use in this context.

FAQS

At Mimi Beauty Clinics, our expert injectors ensure you look refreshed—not frozen. Botox relaxes targeted muscles without affecting your natural expressions. With proper technique, you’ll enjoy smoother skin and a well-rested appearance while still looking like yourself.

The number of units needed varies based on the individual, the specific treatment areas, and the patient’s previous treatment history.

Botox typically has minimal side effects when administered correctly by a highly trained professional. You may experience temporary redness, which usually subsides quickly. Occasional slight bruising may occur but is rare. Some individuals may also encounter minor headaches. Botox is a “lunchtime treatment” because you can conveniently visit our clinic during your lunch break, receive your Botox injection, and return to work without issue. Your Expert Injector will discuss this information with you during your complimentary consultation.

The effects usually last 3–4 months, though this can vary based on individual factors and the treatment area.

The injection is quick and minimally uncomfortable, often described as a slight pinprick. Minor redness may appear but fades within 15–20 minutes. Mild bruising or headache can occur and is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Results may take a few days to a couple of weeks to become visible, and the effects of the anti-wrinkle treatment typically last up to three or four months. We will follow up with you after the treatment to ensure you are satisfied with the results.

Yes, but it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow the injection sites to heal and reduce the risk of infection.

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
  • Those with neuromuscular disorders like Myasthenia Gravis
  • Individuals with allergies to any ingredients in Botox or Dysport
  • People with active infections near the treatment area
