Botox - $13 / UNIT
Botox, a brand name for botulinum toxin type A, is a popular cosmetic treatment with a range of medical and aesthetic uses. Here's an overview of what Botox is, how it works, and its various applications:
How Botox Works
Botox is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When used in controlled, small doses, it temporarily blocks nerve signals in targeted muscles. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles or treat various medical conditions.
Common Uses of Botox
- Cosmetic Applications
- Wrinkle Reduction: Botox is widely known for its use in reducing facial wrinkles. Common areas treated include:
- Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines across the forehead.
- Crow’s Feet: Lines around the eyes.
- Frown Lines: Vertical lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).
- Wrinkle Reduction: Botox is widely known for its use in reducing facial wrinkles. Common areas treated include:
- Brow Lift: Botox can also be used to subtly lift the eyebrows, creating a more youthful appearance.
- Medical Applications
- Chronic Migraine: Botox is approved for the preventive treatment of chronic migraines. It can help reduce the frequency and severity of headache attacks.
- Muscle Spasms: Botox can be used to treat muscle spasms and disorders, such as cervical dystonia (severe neck muscle contractions) and spasticity in various parts of the body.
- Hyperhidrosis: Botox can be injected into areas like the underarms, hands, or feet to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
- Overactive Bladder: Botox injections can help manage symptoms of overactive bladder, including frequent urination and urinary incontinence.

Krysten Almeida Aesthetics @ Boston Health & WellnessOzempic - $600 / CLIENT TO START
Ozempic (semaglutide) is a medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes, but it has garnered attention for other potential benefits as well. Here's a comprehensive look at its uses and advantages:
Benefits of Ozempic
- Blood Sugar Control
- Effective Glycemic Control: Ozempic helps lower blood sugar levels by enhancing the body's natural ability to manage glucose. It improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production in the liver.
- A1C Reduction: Clinical studies show that Ozempic can significantly reduce HbA1c levels (a marker of long-term blood glucose control), helping patients maintain better overall glycemic control.
- Weight Loss
- Appetite Suppression: Ozempic has been shown to help with weight loss. It can lead to a reduction in appetite, helping individuals consume fewer calories.
- Clinical Weight Loss: Many patients using Ozempic for diabetes management experience weight loss, with some losing a significant amount of weight over time.
- Cardiovascular Benefits
- Heart Health: Ozempic has been associated with a reduced risk of major cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, in individuals with type 2 diabetes who have established cardiovascular disease.
- Improved Lipid Profiles: It may help improve cholesterol levels and other markers of cardiovascular health.
- Convenient Dosing
- Weekly Injections: Ozempic is typically administered as a once-weekly injection, which can be more convenient compared to medications that require daily dosing.
- Low Risk of Hypoglycemia
- Reduced Risk: Compared to some other diabetes medications, Ozempic has a lower risk of causing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially when used alone.
- Potential Use in Obesity Management
- Extended Indication: Though primarily approved for type 2 diabetes, Ozempic's active ingredient, semaglutide, is also available under different brand names for obesity management in certain formulations (e.g., Wegovy). It has been shown to be effective in helping individuals achieve significant weight loss.
