Most patients describe it as a small pinch. The needles are very fine and treatments are quick — usually 10 to 15 minutes. We can apply a numbing cream beforehand if you prefer.
Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months. With regular treatments, many patients find their results last longer over time as the muscles become trained to relax. We recommend booking your next appointment before the effects fully wear off.
You'll start noticing results within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible after about 2 weeks. We offer a free follow-up at 2 weeks to check your results.
No, Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please wait until after you've finished breastfeeding to book a treatment.
Depending on the area and type of filler used, results typically last 6 to 18 months. Lip fillers tend to last around 6 to 9 months, while cheek and jawline fillers can last 12 to 18 months.
Yes — we take a conservative approach and focus on enhancing your natural features, not changing them. We add volume gradually and can always add more at a follow-up if needed.
You may have mild swelling and bruising for 2 to 5 days. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. We recommend avoiding intense exercise for 24 hours.
Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers (which we use) can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. This is a quick and safe procedure.
Yes, microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones. During your consultation, we'll assess your skin and recommend the best treatment plan. We use medical-grade devices for safe, controlled results.
Most patients see great results with 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. For acne scars or deeper concerns, more sessions may be recommended.
Chemical peels remove the top layer of skin using a solution, while microneedling creates tiny punctures to stimulate collagen. Peels are better for pigmentation and surface texture, while microneedling is better for scars and deeper wrinkles. We often recommend combining both for best results.
Recovery depends on the peel strength. Light peels have 1 to 2 days of mild flaking, while deeper peels may have 5 to 7 days of peeling. We'll discuss what to expect during your consultation.
Most patients see the best results with 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months. Results vary depending on the stage of hair loss.
We apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure, so most patients feel minimal discomfort. The blood draw is similar to a standard blood test.
Initial improvements are typically noticed after 2 to 3 months, with continued improvement over 6 to 12 months as new collagen builds or hair follicles strengthen.
Fat dissolving injections are most commonly used for the double chin area, but can also treat small pockets of fat on the abdomen, love handles, inner thighs, and upper arms. Results are permanent once the fat cells are destroyed.
Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. The number depends on the amount of fat being treated and your desired results.
Mesotherapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the skin to improve hydration, firmness, and radiance. It's great for dull or dehydrated skin, and can also be used on the neck and decolletage.
IV vitamin therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream for fast absorption. It's great for boosting energy, supporting your immune system, improving skin health, or recovering from illness or fatigue.
A typical session takes 30 to 45 minutes. You can relax comfortably during the treatment. Many patients read, check their phone, or simply rest.
Side effects are rare and usually mild — some patients feel a cool sensation during the drip or have minor bruising at the injection site. Our nurses monitor you throughout the session.
