Frequently Asked Questions

The actual injections take less than 5 minutes. However, we book 30-minute appointments to ensure we have ample time to discuss your goals, review your facial anatomy, and answer any questions.

The under-eye area is complex, which is why it should only be treated by an experienced medical professional. We use a blunt-tipped cannula instead of a sharp needle to significantly maximize safety and minimize bruising.

Aqualyx is highly effective, but patient selection is key. It works best on clients close to their ideal body weight who have localized, stubborn pockets of fat. It is not a general weight loss solution.

We charge a $50 consultation fee. However, this fee is fully redeemable against the cost of any treatment you proceed with on the day, acting as a deposit for our clinical time.

Good candidates have a true structural hollow without excessive under-eye bags or fluid retention. We must assess you in person to determine if filler is the safe and correct choice.

Yes, this is a highly safe, FDA-approved medical treatment for excessive sweating. It targets only the local sweat glands and does not affect your body's overall ability to cool itself.

This treatment is generally for adults who experience frequent, debilitating headaches (often defined as 15 or more headache days a month) and haven't found relief with standard medications.

The treatment itself takes about 15 to 20 minutes, though we allocate 45 minutes for your appointment to allow for a thorough consultation, mapping, and a slow, precise injection technique.

For the best results, a primary course of two treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is required. To maintain the glow, a single top-up treatment is recommended every 6 months.

The injections take just a few minutes. We book a 30-minute consultation slot to palpate the muscle, assess your bite strength, and determine the exact dosage required.

Keep it simple. Use a gentle cleanser, a rich hydrating balm or hyaluronic acid serum, and strictly avoid active ingredients (like Retinol or Vitamin C) for 3-5 days.

You may experience mild swelling for a few days. Bruising is possible but reduced by the use of a cannula. Rejuran may leave small bumps that subside within 24 hours.

Expect your skin to look red, like a mild sunburn, for 24-48 hours. Keep the skin clean, avoid makeup and sweating for a day, and apply a soothing hydrator.

For the first 24 hours, avoid heavy exercise, and do not massage or rub the jaw area. Try to avoid excessively hard or chewy foods (like steak or gum) for the first few days to rest the muscle.

We ask that you avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment. Elevated blood pressure and heavy sweating can affect how the product settles.

A slight "pinpoint" bleeding is completely normal and actually desired—it shows we have reached the correct depth to trigger the healing and collagen cascade.

We recommend avoiding heavy exercise and saunas for 24 hours after your treatment to prevent the product from migrating before it has bound to the receptors.

You should wait at least 24 hours before washing your hair vigorously or rubbing the injection sites on your scalp and forehead to ensure the medication stays precisely where it was placed.

We use neurotoxins (Botulinum Toxin) injected into the skin. This blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that tell your sweat glands to activate, effectively turning off the sweat production in that specific area.

We inject the masseter muscles (the large chewing muscles at the back of the jaw) to relax them. This stops the involuntary, intense clenching and grinding that causes TMJ pain.

Botulinum Toxin is a medically proven preventative for migraines. By relaxing the muscles in the forehead, neck, and shoulders, it reduces physical tension triggers and helps block the nerve pain signals sent to the brain.

When performed correctly by an experienced injector, it will not affect your smile. The masseter is a chewing muscle, not a smiling muscle. We carefully map the injection points to avoid the risorius (smile) muscle.

Botox temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that triggers your sweat glands. Without this signal, the glands simply do not produce sweat in the treated area.

The standard clinical protocol for chronic migraines involves approximately 30 to 40 shallow injections across specific points on the forehead, temples, back of the head, and upper neck.

Yes, this is a highly safe, FDA-approved medical treatment for excessive sweating. It targets only the local sweat glands and does not affect your body's overall ability to cool itself.

Yes, it often will. When the masseter muscle works less, it shrinks (atrophies). This is a highly desired side effect that slims a square, wide lower face into a softer, more oval contour.

This treatment is generally for adults who experience frequent, debilitating headaches (often defined as 15 or more headache days a month) and haven't found relief with standard medications.

The injections take just a few minutes. We book a 30-minute consultation slot to palpate the muscle, assess your bite strength, and determine the exact dosage required.

For the best results, a primary course of two treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is required. To maintain the glow, a single top-up treatment is recommended every 6 months.

If you have a deeper peel that induces visible shedding, the flaking usually begins on day 3 and is fully complete by day 5 to 7. Light "lunchtime" peels have no visible shedding at all.

You will start to notice increased hydration and a subtle glow within a few days, but the peak results for treatments like Profhilo usually develop around 4 weeks after your second session.

Filler adds immediate volume to physically lift a hollow. Rejuran (Polynucleotides) regenerates and thickens the skin tissue over time to reduce dark pigmentation and crepey lines without adding bulk.

Yes, microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for texture. It forces the skin to produce fresh collagen and elastin, smoothing out roughness and fine lines.

Scar revision takes time. We usually recommend a dedicated course of 3 to 6 sessions to achieve significant structural changes in the scar tissue.

Skin boosters are incredibly versatile. While the face is the most common area, they are also highly effective for treating crepey skin on the neck, décolletage, and the back of the hands.

Yes, microneedling stimulates your body's natural healing response and can be paired with hydrating serums to improve overall skin quality and radiance.

Yes, we offer different levels of peels. Lactic and Mandelic acid peels are very gentle, deeply hydrating, and perfectly safe for sensitive skin types.

Yes, deeper chemical peels can help resurface the top layers of the skin, which is excellent for softening shallow "boxcar" scars and fading the red/brown marks left behind by acne.
