YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
INJECTABLES
Q. HOW MUCH DO (TOX) WRINKLE RELAXING INJECTIONS COST? (BOTOX, XEOMIN OR DYSPORT)
A. PRICING DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER OF AREAS TREATED, AGE, MUSCLE STRENGTH, AND FACIAL ANATOMY. MOST FULL-DOSE AREAS ARE $320 PER AREA, BUT SMALLER DOSES ARE OFTEN USED. TREATING FROWN LINES, CROW’S FEET, AND FOREHEAD TOGETHER TYPICALLY RANGES BETWEEN $350–$750. RESULTS LAST 3–4 MONTHS, WITH TOP-UPS USUALLY NEEDED TO MAINTAIN RESULTS.
A FULL, NO-OBLIGATION CONSULTATION IS INCLUDED BEFORE YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT. ALTERNATIVELY, MESSAGE AVRYL WITH PHOTOS FOR A ROUGH ESTIMATE.
Q. DO I NEED A SEPERATE CONSULTATION APPOINTMENT BEFORE TOX, FILLERS OR ANY INJECTABLES?
A. NO BUT IS RECOMMENDED FOR DERMAL FILLER. A CONSULTATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE ANY INJECTABLE TREATMENT INCLUDING WRINKLE RELAXERS, DERMAL FILLERS, RADIESSE OR SKIN BOOSTERS. WE ASSESS YOUR GOALS, MEDICAL HISTORY, AND FACIAL STRUCTURE TO CREATE A PERSONALISED PLAN. CONSULTATIONS ARE COMPLIMENTARY AND WILL ALSO TAKE PLACE BEFORE TREATMENT OF NOT BOOKED SEPARATELY TO ENSURE THE TREATMENT IS SAFE FOR YOU.
Q. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTOX, XEOMIN AND DYSPORT?
A. ALL ARE BRANDS OF BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE A AND WORK SIMILARLY TO SOFTEN LINES AND WRINKLES. AT AVRYL KINNON AESTHETICS, WE USE XEOMIN DUE TO ITS PURIFIED FORMULA AND LOWER RISK OF BUILDING RESISTANCE. BOTOX AND DYSPORT CONTAIN ADDITIONAL PROTEINS, WHICH MAY INCREASE TOLERANCE OVER TIME. ALL ARE APPROVED IN NZ.
WE RECOMMEND REVIEWING THE INFORMED CONSENT AND DOING YOUR OWN RESEARCH BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH ANY PRESCRIPTION TREATMENT.
