Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Botox, and how does it work?

Botox is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment designed to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. It helps smooth out muscle which form over time from repetitive facial expressions like squinting, laughing, or smiling, as well as from sun exposure and the natural aging process. These wrinkles become more noticeable when facial muscles are engaged, but treatment can result in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Results typically begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full effects seen in 2 weeks.

2. What is the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin?

While all three are injectable neurotoxins designed to smooth wrinkles, they differ slightly:

Botox has a long track record and is widely known for its ability to treat various facial areas.

Dysport is similar to Botox but may spread slightly further from the injection site, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead.

Xeomin is a “naked” version, meaning it lacks accessory proteins, which may reduce the risk of resistance developing over time, maintaining its effectiveness for longer.

3. How many Botox units will I need?

The number of Botox units varies based on the area being treated and your unique facial structure. During your consultation, we will assess your needs and recommend the right number of units to achieve natural-looking results. Common areas like the forehead or crow’s feet may require different amounts.

4. What are dermal fillers, and how do they work?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They’re commonly used in areas like the cheeks, lips, and nasolabialfolds. Results are visible immediately, with full effects developing within two weeks. Fillers can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the product used.

5. What should I expect during a dermal filler treatment?

During the procedure, dermal fillers are injected into specific areas to achieve your desired look. The treatment is quick, and results are noticeable immediately. You may experience minor swelling or bruising, but this typically subsides within a few days. The results provide a refreshed, youthful appearance.

7. What are the benefits of weight loss management treatments like Trizepatide and Semaglutide

These advanced treatments support metabolism, appetite control, and blood sugar regulation to help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight. Trizepatide offers dual action by targeting two hormones involved in glucose regulation, while Semaglutide mimics natural hormones to enhance feelings of fullness, aiding in weight loss and blood sugar management.

8. What is the difference between MICC and PPCDC injections?

MICC injections combine Methionine, Inositol, Choline, and B12 to support fat metabolism, boost energy, and enhance liver function. They are great for overall metabolic health.

PPCDC injections (fat-dissolving) are a more targeted approach, breaking down fat cells in specific areas to improve body contour and reduce stubborn fat.

9. What are the key injectables available, and how can they enhance my wellness?

We offer a range of injectables, each designed to support different aspects of your health and beauty:

Biotin: For healthy hair, skin, and nails.

Glutathione: A powerful antioxidant that fights aging and disease.

Vitamin B12: Boosts energy, mood, and metabolism.

Vitamin D3: Supports bone health and immunity.

CoQ10: Promotes heart health and cellular function.

6. How do IV vitamin infusions work?

IV Vitamin Infusions deliver essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for more efficient absorption. This treatment is designed to boost energy, support the immune system, detoxify the body, and promote overall wellness. Each infusion is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the optimal balance of vitamins and minerals.

10. How often should I get treatments for optimal results?

The frequency of treatments depends on the specific procedure and your individual needs:

Botox: Every 3-4 months.

Dermal Fillers: Every 6-18 months, depending on the filler.

IV Therapy: As needed, often monthly, for ongoing wellness.

During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.

11. How do I prepare for my treatment?

Before your treatment, avoid alcohol, anti-inflammatory medications, and blood-thinning supplements for at least 24-48 hours. This helps minimize the risk of bruising. For certain treatments like Botox or fillers, we’ll provide specific pre-treatment instructions during your consultation.

12. What is the recovery like?

Most of our treatments require minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, but these effects typically resolve within a few days. We’ll provide aftercare instructions to ensure you get the best results.
