The ARCHITOX™ Method
Fully polished skin is always in
Brand Standard Outcome = brows in NEUTRAL and minimal to NO MOVEMENT
Post-care
It takes 4hrs for the product to successfully bind to the muscle receptors.
For the remainder of the day:
Keep the area clean
No touching/rubbing the area
No strenuous exercise
No extreme heat (sun exposure, tanning beds, sauna)
No sleeping immediately after as you could be rubbing your face and not know it
What to expect
Initial Visit - Small “mosquito bite” marks visible on the skin. These will disappear within 30 min.
Day 2 - Possible bruising. No noticable changes in mobility yet.
Day 5 - Decrease in the contractions of the muscle and brows getting more difficult to raise.
Day 10-14 - The Botox is in full effect therefore it is NORMAL to feel heaviness/stiffness/FROZEN in the forehead as you will no longer be able to contract the forehead muscle to lift the brows.
Day 14 - MANDATORY checkup to ensure brows are in neutral and make any necessary adjustments.
Day 21-28 - Your brain will adjust to this sensation and this new feeling will become your new normal.
Day 28-90 - Your muscle movement will GRADUALLY return. Refer to chart.
Important reminders.
‘FirstTime’ Feelings - Your muscles have been contracting for a lifetime, therefore having minimal activity will feel NEW. Your brain will quickly adjust.
Selfie Face - Your mirror/selfie face is manufactured by unconsciously contracting the muscles in the forehead to give a slight eyebrow raise. We ONLY appear this way during our mirror/selfie time, not in REAL animated life. Your brain will quickly adjust to a neutral brow position and “movement” of the forehead (which lifts the brow) will slowly return over the course of 3 months.
Lid Space - With your brows in neutral your lids may be closer to the lashline. This is temporary and will dissipate as the Botox wears off.
Makeup Application - Your normal eyeshadow/mascara application involves contracting the forehead muscle to create adequate space for application. Your brain will adjust to applying makeup with decreased space due to limited forhead mobility.
Brand Standard Outcome = Soft hydrated appearance
The Hydrated NOTinflated™ Lip
Our first claim to fame; the perfect POUT
Post-care
To ensure a speedy recovery the following instructions are advised:
Keep the area clean (no makeup) for remainder of day
Do NOT touch/rub/massage
No strenuous activity for 2-3 days
No extreme heat (sun exposure, tanning beds, sauna) for 2-3 days
Avoid alcohol consumption for 2-3 days
Cool area with ice pack ongoing to reduce swelling
What to expect
*The HydratedNOTinflated lip result is a 2-week recovery period. Your lips will look WORSE before they look better.
Immediately After Treatment - Your lips have just been poked a plethora of times. The lips are highly vascular and the pokes cause tissue trauma. This means you will experience SIGNIFICANT swelling.
Day 2-3 - Upon waking up the next morning after your treatment you will see that your lips are even MORE swollen than the previous day. This is NORMAL. Continue cooling the area with the ice pack. You may also see bruising forming. This too is NORMAL.
Day 4-5 - Bruised. Still swollen, but starting to look better. Possibly lumpy and bumpy. This is NORMAL.
Day 5-10 - Swelling reduces significantly and lip filler starts to soften up.
Day 14 - Mandatory checkup. Any adjustments will be made at this appointment.
Important reminders.
‘FirstTime’ Feelings - You have just been injected with a solid gel and being able to “feel” the product is NORMAL. Over the course of 2 weeks the filler will absorb water and integrate into your tissue becoming part of the REAL you.
Duration - Duration of treatment varies from person to person. It is normal to do a top-up at 6-9 months to maintain the look.
The Top Up - Always remember the lips are a small confined space and the more filler that gets added means the more risk of lumps and bumps. This is easily corrected with a small amount of dissolver if it were to occur.
The Cut Off - Just because you want it doesn’t mean you get it at POUTx. We stay true to our brand standard of HydratedNOTinflated therefore your ArchiTECH will determine if further treatment is recommended.
The CheekTWEAK™ and Lower Face Filler
Small amounts over time for refining and balancing
Brand Standard Outcome = minimized shadows, balanced and refined
Post-care
To ensure a speedy recovery the following instructions are advised:
Keep the area clean (no makeup) for remainder of day
Do NOT touch/rub/massage
No strenuous activity for 2-3 days
No extreme heat (sun exposure, tanning beds, sauna) for 2-3 days
Avoid alcohol consumption for 2-3 days
Avoid sleeping on your face for 48hrs
Wait a full 2 weeks before doing a face-down body massage (too much pressure)
What to expect
*The CheekTWEAK result is a 2-week recovery period.
Immediately After Treatment - Your cheeks have just been poked and a solid gel has been administered. This causes trauma in the tissue, therefore, swelling will occur.
Next Day - It is NORMAL to feel like you have golf balls in your cheeks and have the area feel “tight”. This will dissipate as the procedure heals over the 2 week timeframe.
Planning Your Next Visit - Full correction of the area will require multiple syringes. We do this over time, slow and steady. We never rush the process.
Asymmetry - The halves of our faces are sisters, NOT twins. As time passes, we become even more asymmetrical as we tend to favour one side when sleeping. As you modify the cheeks the goal is always to appear more BALANCED vs. perfectly symmetrical as “perfect symmetry” does not exist.
*Note: Multiple syringes are always required for optimal balancing.
Important reminders.
‘FirstTime’ Feelings - You have just been injected with a solid gel and being able to “feel” the product is NORMAL. Over the course of 2 weeks the filler will absorb water and integrate into your tissue becoming part of the REAL you.
Duration - Duration of treatment depends on how much of the area was injected. Minimal corrections will need a top-up at 6-9 months to maintain the look that was achieved. Maximum correction of areas can endure 18+ months before needing a small touch-up.
