FAQ’s
Botox
Botox is a neurotoxin used to temporarily paralyze muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles by smoothing out the skin.
Results typically last 3-6 months, after which re-treatment is necessary to maintain the effects.
When administered by a qualified professional, Botox is generally safe. However, it’s essential to follow post-treatment instructions carefully.

Temporary bruising, headache, or drooping eyelids may occur but are usually mild and resolve quickly.
Generally, individuals who are in good health and have realistic expectations about the results are suitable candidates for Botox treatment.
Filler
Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours by adding volume beneath the skin.
The duration varies depending on the type of filler used, but most fillers last between 6 months to 2 years.

Lipolysis Procedure
Lipolysis is a non-surgical procedure that targets and breaks down fat cells using injectable substances, typically containing phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate.
Results may vary, but noticeable improvement can usually be seen within a few weeks to months after treatment.
Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or discomfort at the injection sites. Rarely, more severe complications like infection or uneven fat removal may occur.
The number of sessions required depends on factors such as the amount of fat to be treated and individual response to the treatment. Multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are often recommended for optimal results.
Lipolysis is not a replacement for surgical liposuction but may be a suitable option for individuals looking for a non-invasive alternative to reduce small pockets of fat.
Candidates for lipolysis are typically individuals who are at or near their ideal body weight but have localized areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. A consultation with a qualified practitioner can determine suitability.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and medications into the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin) to treat various conditions such as cellulite, hair loss, and skin aging.
Mesotherapy sessions usually last around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated.
Mesotherapy can be used to treat cellulite, localized fat deposits, hair loss, wrinkles, and skin rejuvenation.
The number of sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated and individual response to the treatment. Typically, a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Discomfort during mesotherapy is usually minimal and well-tolerated by most patients. Topical numbing cream or ice packs may be applied before the procedure to minimize any discomfort.
Side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or slight discomfort at the injection sites. These usually resolve within a few days.
Permanent Make-Up
Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, involves tattooing pigments into the skin to resemble makeup, such as eyeliner, lip liner, or eyebrow pencil.
The longevity of permanent makeup varies depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and the colors used. Generally, it can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years before requiring touch-ups.
Common areas for permanent makeup application include eyebrows, eyelids, and lips.
When performed by a trained and experienced professional using sterile equipment, permanent makeup is generally safe. However, like any tattooing procedure, there are risks of infection and allergic reactions.
While permanent makeup is intended to be long-lasting, there are removal options available, such as laser tattoo removal or microneedling techniques, although complete removal may not always be possible.
Suitable candidates for permanent makeup include individuals who want to enhance their features, save time on daily makeup application, or have conditions that make applying traditional makeup challenging, such as alopecia or visual impairment.
Skin Care
Skincare is essential for maintaining healthy, radiant skin, protecting it from environmental damage, and addressing specific concerns such as acne, aging, or hyperpigmentation.
A basic skincare routine typically involves cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen during the day. Additional steps like exfoliation and treatment products can be incorporated based on individual needs.
It’s essential to consider your skin type (e.g., dry, oily, combination, sensitive) and specific concerns when selecting skincare products. Consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional can help identify the most suitable products for you.
Effective skincare ingredients vary depending on individual needs but may include antioxidants (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin E), hyaluronic acid, retinoids, and SPF for sun protection.
The frequency of exfoliation depends on your skin type and the type of exfoliant used. Generally, 1-3 times per week is sufficient for most people, but those with sensitive skin may need to exfoliate less frequently.
Yes, a tailored skincare routine can help address various skin concerns by incorporating products and treatments designed to target specific issues, such as acne-fighting ingredients or anti-aging serums. Consistency and patience are key to seeing results.
