Here at Elite MedAesthetic in Knoxville, I’m all about maximizing your results. Clients often come to me with a “wish list” for their skin: smoother forehead lines, brighter complexion, fewer crow’s feet, and that undeniable glow.
The secret isn’t just picking one treatment; it’s about strategically combining the right ones. And let me tell you, there is no more powerful, synergistic duo than pairing a neurotoxin like Botox® or Dysport® with a customized, medical-grade facial.
In my professional opinion (and from what I see in my chair every day in Bearden), this is the perfect aesthetic combo. But here is the critical part: timing is everything.
Today, I’m breaking down why this combination works so well and, more importantly, the exact schedule you must follow to ensure safety and flawless results.
Phase 1: The Foundation (Botox/Dysport)
When you are looking for that complete skin rejuvenation, we almost always start with neurotoxins. Why? Because you can give yourself the world’s best facial, but if those strong forehead and eyebrow muscles are still aggressively creasing the skin every time you squint or frown, you’re only solving half the problem….and only temporarily.
What it is:
Botox or Dysport temporarily blocks the signal between your nerve and the muscle. We use a standardized dose—I price ours at $11 per unit—to target specific muscles that create “expression lines,” like forehead wrinkles, the “11s” between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
How it prepares you:
By relaxing those overactive muscles, we allow the skin above them to lay flat and smooth out. This stops the repetitive folding, effectively “erasing” dynamic lines and preventing them from becoming etched-in “static” wrinkles. This relaxation provides the perfect, smooth surface for your aesthetician to work on.

Phase 2: The Perfect Wait (The Few-Week Rule)
This is the most crucial part of the process. I can’t emphasize this enough: You cannot get a professional facial immediately after your neurotoxin injections.
Why do we wait?
You must allow your Botox or Dysport at least two (2) full weeks to completely bind to the muscle and “settle.” If you get a facial too soon, the strong pressure, massage, and heat that define a good facial treatment can disrupt the injection sites. This increases the risk of the product migrating (spreading) to an area we don’t want it, which can cause temporary, unwanted side effects like a droopy eyelid.
A facial too soon will also interfere with the settling process, meaning you won’t get the full anti-wrinkle benefit you just paid for. Waiting is non-negotiable for achieving that natural, moveable “Elite” result.
Phase 3: The Polish (The Customized Facial)
Once those two weeks have passed and your skin is perfectly smooth, it’s time to add the “polish.” Neurotoxins work deep in the muscle; facials work exclusively on the surface (epidermis). Combining them creates a comprehensive, 3D approach to your rejuvenation.
What it is:
At Elite MedAesthetic, we specialize in customized facials that focus on hydration, deep exfoliation, and targeted skin remodeling. While I focus on the structure (the injections), our expert aesthetician, Zoee, handles the surface.
How it completes the look:
- The Dermaplane: This is my favorite “post-tox” add-on. Zoee uses a medical-grade blade to gently sweep away surface debris, peach fuzz, and dead cells. This creates a smooth surface for a flawless look.
- The Express or Classic: Whether you need a 30-minute refresh or a deep cleansing hour of relaxation, these facials use targeted peptides, antioxidants, and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to re-hydrate the newly smoothed skin, giving you that vibrant “glow” that toxins can’t provide.
Discretion and Convenience: Bearden Salon Privacy or Mobile Concierge
At Elite, we understand that this complete refresh should happen on your terms. We offer two private pathways to your glow-up:
- Salon Privacy: For those who want to “get away,” visit our discreet, professional clinical space on Bearden Drive.
