Procedures
Bruising and swelling depends on skin type and area of injection, but normally bruising and swelling can last anywhere from 3-7 days.
There are a few things you can do to reduce bruising - we suggest you don't take any blood thinners (ibuprofen and aspirin) for 10 days prior to your appointment. Alcohol and caffeine are also blood thinners, so if you are worried about bruising try to refrain from consuming either of those for three days prior to your treatment. There are also some natural remedies shown to assist in reducing bruises: arnica and bromelain.
What type of filler you need depends on where you would like to inject and the desired effect. You will be able to discuss a customized plan with your provider at the time of your consultation.
The amount of product needed varies from person to person depending on each individuals' facial anatomy, muscle strength, etc. You will be able to discuss this at length with your provider at the time of your consultation.
Both Botox and Dysport help to relax unwanted muscle movement, like brow furrows, forehead lines and crows feet. The duration of the products is similar in most patients, but some people have different experiences with each. Your provider will chose according to your desired results and current muscle movement.
Most people see initial results within 7-10 days. We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks before booking a touch up, if needed.
You can often book lasers and injectables on the same day with a few exceptions. When booking your appointment please let your Client Coordinator know so that they can book accordingly.
Wrinkle Relaxers generally last up to three to four months, whereas fillers can last anywhere from six months to 18 months. However, this varies from person to person and depends on the area that is injected.
There are some treatments such as Clear +Brilliant, Facile Laser, microneedling, and PRP that can be performed during pregnancy without numbing cream.

Microinfusion is the process of stamping a combination of product such as fillers, wrinkle relaxers, skin brighteners and/or vitamins into your skin improving your overall skin quality. Your provider will customize the combination of injectables based on your skin's needs.
Microneedling is a procedure in which we create microinjuries in the skin to boost collagen production, assist cell turnover and allow good-for-you products to penetrate deeper into your skin. This helps to boost collagen production and can reduce acne scars and wrinkles!
Definitely! You can use a laser alone or in combination with our other treatments, like peels, to improve skin discoloration, texture and to rejuvenate face, neck, and chest.
