Get answers to common questions about DOA.

DOA uses a precisely placed neuromodulator to relax targeted muscles that cause dynamic lines. It softens movement-related wrinkles in the treated area, producing a smoother, refreshed appearance while preserving natural facial expressions. Results vary and are discussed in consultation.

Units vary by anatomy, muscle strength, and desired outcome. We determine exact units during your in-office consultation and treatment. Typical ranges will be discussed beforehand; adjustments can be made to achieve subtle, natural results while prioritizing safety and comfort.

No - when administered by skilled providers at Lotus Skin Care Center, DOA is placed precisely to soften targeted lines while preserving natural movement. We customize dosing to your anatomy and preferences to avoid a frozen look and maintain authentic facial expressions.

Most clients see noticeable smoothing within days, with results lasting around three to four months. Duration varies with metabolism, muscle activity, and units used. We review expectations during consultation and recommend maintenance schedules personalized to your results and goals.

Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and vigorous exercise 24-48 hours before treatment if safe for you. Arrive with clean skin and communicate medications and medical history in consultation. Follow any specific pre-care instructions provided by our team.

Common side effects include mild bruising, swelling, redness, or temporary tenderness at injection sites. Downtime is minimal; most clients resume normal activities immediately. We provide post-care guidance and contact information should unexpected reactions or concerns arise after treatment.
