Question 1

Does a consultation include treatment?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, review your medical history, and determine whether treatment is appropriate. If time allows and treatment is recommended, it may be completed during the same appointment. Otherwise, we'll create a personalized treatment plan and schedule your treatment for a future visit.

Question 2

How long does Botox® last?

Accepted Answer

Results typically begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full results developing around two weeks after treatment. Most patients enjoy results for approximately 3–4 months, although this can vary depending on the individual and the area treated.

Question 3

What is the downtime after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur and generally resolve within a few days. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions specific to your treatment.

Question 4

Do dermal filler injections hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most patients find treatment very tolerable. A topical numbing cream can be applied when appropriate, and many fillers also contain lidocaine to improve comfort. You may feel slight pressure or a brief pinch during the injections, but discomfort is generally minimal.

Question 5

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Every face is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. During your consultation, we'll discuss your goals, assess your facial anatomy, and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include neuromodulators, dermal fillers, biostimulators, skin rejuvenation treatments, or simply education about your options.

Question 6

Do you use ultrasound guidance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ultrasound imaging is used when appropriate to help visualize important blood vessels and previously placed filler. This technology enhances treatment planning and precision, allowing for an individualized approach while adding an additional layer of safety for selected procedures.

Question 7

What if I don't like my dermal filler results?

Accepted Answer

Your treatment plan is designed with subtle, natural-looking results in mind. Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be adjusted or dissolved using hyaluronidase if clinically appropriate. During your consultation, we'll discuss realistic expectations and create a plan that aligns with your goals.

Question 8

How do I book an appointment?

Question 9

Will I still look like myself?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. My philosophy is to enhance your natural features rather than change them. Every treatment plan is tailored to your facial anatomy and goals, with subtle, balanced results that leave you looking refreshed—not overdone.
