FAQ
Q. How long before I see results?
A: The time you see results varies by brand. Full results can be observed at around 14 days.
Q. How much downtime is there after treatment?
A: Most clients go directly back to their day-to-day activities following treatment. We only advise that you refrain from any excessive physical activity for 24 hours, and that you do not apply make-up over the injection points for 12 hours.
Q. How long does Botox last?
A: Results and longevity varies, but it may last up to 3-4 months.
Q. Does Botox hurt?
A: Most clients report little to no discomfort during the injection procedure, no more than a small pinch. We do offer topical numbing if you are anxious about the discomfort factor
Q: Is Microneedling painful?
A: Most clients report little to no discomfort. A medical grade topical anesthetic cream is applied for 20min before the procedure so it is almost painless. Certain areas may be more sensitive than others and depending on the depth you may feel a scratching like sensation.
Q: How long before I can return to work after having microneedling?
A: Usually the next day. The area being treated will be red for 24-48 hours. After 24 hours, make-up can be applied to cover any redness so you may go out after this time if you wish to do so.
Q: Will I see results immediately
A: The effects are long term and thus results are ongoing. A course of treatments is advised for best results.
Q: Am I a candidate for microneedling?
A: The ideal candidates for medical microneedling are those who want to treat or improve the following conditions/concerns:
- Sun damaged skin
- Enlarged pores
- Lines and wrinkles
- Sagging skin
- Skin texture
- Acne
- Acne scarring
- Scars
- Rosacea
- Stretch marks
- Hyperpigmentation
- Vitiligo
- Hair loss
Q: Are the results instant?
A: With fillers, results can be instantaneous. Given that filler injections cover a larger deeper area, you may have some bruising or swelling that persists for a short while, particularly in the lip region. You can expect this swelling to go down and see true results after 1-2 weeks.
Q: Are dermal fillers reversible
A: Yes. In the unlikely event you want to dissolve some of your filler, this can be done in-office during a short visit.
Q: How long will my filler last?
A: Again, this is entirely case-specific. It will always depend on the product used and the area you are treating, as well as how quick your metabolism is. As a general rule, fillers last between 6-12 months, depending on area. When you are treated, we can give you an estimate of how long your specific filler might last.
Q: Does Dermal filler treatment cause pain?
A: Depending on your individual pain tolerance, and where you’re using the filler, discomfort levels vary. We use a medical strength topical numbing agent to make all filler injections as comfortable as possible. Most people report little more than mild discomfort.
