FAQ

You asked, we answered!

How does Botox® work? 

Botox® works by blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, which temporarily prevents them from contracting. The injection of this neurotoxin helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the treated areas. Botox® is commonly used to target frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines, providing a smoother, more youthful appearance that lasts for several months. The effects are temporary and typically require repeat treatments to maintain the desired results.

 

How long does BOTOX® last?

You may begin to notice results within three to four days, with the best results at the 2.5-week mark. Results last 3-4 months. We advise 3-4 Botox® sessions per year. 

How long do lip fillers last?

Lip fillers typically last from 9  months to 1 year, varying based on the filler type, individual factors, and lifestyle habits. Dermal fillers contain ingredients that add fullness to areas that have lost volume due to aging, so factors like filler brand, metabolism, and the amount injected can really influence longevity. Regular maintenance treatments may be needed to maintain desired results.

 

Is lip filler dissolvable?

Yes, lip fillers are dissolvable. Hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers, which are the most common type used for lip augmentation, can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase breaks down the hyaluronic acid filler, allowing it to be naturally absorbed by the body. If you are dissatisfied with your results or experience complications after getting lip fillers, the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase to reverse the effects.

 

What skin conditions can microneedling treat?

Microneedling can treat various skin conditions, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and sun damage. By stimulating collagen production and skin renewal, microneedling helps improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. It is a versatile and effective treatment for rejuvenating the skin and addressing a range of concerns. However, individual results may vary, and multiple sessions might be necessary to achieve skin goals.

What is a DiamondGlow®?

What is a VI Peel®?

VI Peel® goes beyond the surface, reaching the papillary dermis by penetrating the Dermal-Epidermal Junction. VI peels target overproduced melanin that causes hyperpigmentation, working to lift and exfoliate skin cells. This process promotes healthier, less pigmented cells and smooths the skin's surface, creating a softer, more refined texture. The painless application involves applying a liquid formula with gauze, allowing time between each layer for absorption. Typically your skin will peel for about 3 days, usually around days 3-6 following application. Then you will be left with a radiant and glowing complexion.
