Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a consultation before treatment?

Of course. This is the key to successful treatments of the skin. The consultation process is where we learn about you, your medical history and what aspects of your skin or face that you want to treat. This is where you learn about what treatment best suits you and what your alternatives are.

How many treatments do I need?

Different treatments require different amounts of sessions:

• Typically for Botox or fillers you will require 1-2 treatments.
• Laser treatments vary, between 1-4 treatments depending on the modality used.

How long do procedures take?

Usually between 30 minutes to an hour.

Is it painful?

Usually not. People compare injections to a flue shot and most laser treatments to sitting in the sun. Pain scale is about a 3/10.

I have heard horror stories with lasers. What should I do?

If you are confident that the person who treats you and oversees your treatments is competent and has both a sound medical grade dermatological laser and has done proper training you should be all right.

There is so much information out there. How do I know what is right for me?

You are right. There is a lot of information out there and it can be confusing. Listen to your health care provider and go home and do your research. There is no rush for these treatments. Then you feel more confident about your choice.
