I’ve been seeing Dr. Manolis Manolakakis for 13 years and have always been thrilled with the results, not to mention Dr. Manolis and his staff. Dr Manolis always takes his time to talk to me, explain new procedures, even if I’m just asking about them. I trust him and his staff, who are always so friendly, kind and understanding. I highly recommend!

This is the guy I want as my surgeon— explains everything succinctly and displays a wealth of knowledge and clinical experience. Office staff is top notch, especially Diana: caring, compassionate, wonderful office!
Norma R.
From my initial point of contact, it was abundantly evident this practice places a high emphasis to ensure the patient has an optimal experience. Dr. M’s staff understood the gravity of the injury and didn’t hesitate to facilitate a same day appointment. In an era where it’s commonplace for medical providers to treat their patients like cattle in a stockyard, it was refreshing to visit a practice that truly cares. This sentiment clearly is a reflection of Dr. Manolakakis character; he recommended the path of least resistance when I had all but resigned myself to accept surgery as the only outcome. I highly recommend including Dr. Manolakakis in your decision for any facial surgery considerations.

What to Expect: Pre-Treatment Phase
Your journey to a refreshed and more youthful appearance with Jeuveau begins with a personalized and thoughtful consultation with Dr. Manolis Manolakakis, DMD, FACS. Dr. Manolakakis will take the time to truly understand you and your unique needs, ensuring that your experience is as comfortable and reassuring as possible.
During this consultation, Dr. M. will carefully review your medical history, paying special attention to any conditions that may influence the procedure or your recovery, such as neuromuscular disorders or allergies to botulinum toxin. This thorough review ensures that every aspect of your health is considered, prioritizing your safety and well-being.
Dr. Manolakakis will then engage in a compassionate conversation with you about your goals and expectations for the treatment. He will listen closely to your desires, helping you to define what success looks like for you. Finally, Dr. M. will meticulously examine your facial anatomy, using his expert eye to determine the most suitable and precise injection sites for your Jeuveau treatment. You will also receive pre-treatment instructions.
What to Expect: Treatment Phase
The Jeuveau treatment is quick and simple, usually taking just 15 to 30 minutes. The area being treated will be carefully cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. Using a fine needle, the practitioner will inject Jeuveau into the specific facial muscles being targeted. The number of injections and the exact spots will depend on your individual needs and the areas you’re having treated. The practitioner will check the results to make sure the right amount of Jeuveau has been used for optimal results.
What to Expect: Post-Treatment Recovery and Care
Try not to touch or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent the Jeuveau from spreading to unintended muscles. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or anything that increases blood flow to your face for 24 to 48 hours after treatment. It’s best to stay upright for at least four hours after your treatment to reduce the risk of the Jeuveau moving to other areas. Mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites is normal and should go away within a few days. Using arnica gel or taking arnica tablets can help reduce bruising. Any mild discomfort can usually be handled with over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen.
You can apply makeup to cover any bruising or redness after 24 hours. You’ll start to notice results within 2 to 3 days, with the full effect showing up within 1 to 2 weeks. The results generally last about 3 to 4 months, so you’ll need follow-up treatments to keep up the look. Regular check-ins with Dr. M., he will help monitor your results and figure out the best timing for any touch-up treatments you might need.
