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.

We apply a strong, medical-grade topical anesthetic cream before the procedure. You will feel a vibrating sensation and some pressure, but the treatment is highly tolerable.

You may feel a warm, tingling, or slightly "spicy" sensation while the active peel solution is on your skin, but it should not be painful. Our lighter peels feel very comfortable.

We prioritize your comfort. Premium fillers contain Lidocaine (a local anesthetic) inside the gel, which numbs the area as we inject. We also use topical numbing cream for sensitive areas like the lips.

Mild, temporary side effects can include slight redness or a tiny mosquito-bite-like bump at the injection site, which usually disappears within 15 minutes. Occasional mild bruising or a transient headache can also occur.

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.

We advise avoiding washing your face the evening of your treatment. Let the serums applied in-clinic fully absorb. The next morning, you may use a gentle cleanser and tepid water.

Swelling is a guaranteed part of the process—it indicates the fat cells are breaking down. You should expect your double chin to look slightly larger for the first 3 to 5 days before it begins to shrink.

Come with a clean face if possible, and bring a list of your current skincare products and any medications you take. It also helps to bring reference photos of results you admire (and results you don't!).

Your skin will look and feel like you have a moderate sunburn immediately after. This redness typically subsides significantly within 24 to 48 hours.

Yes, but strict sun protection is non-negotiable. If you cannot commit to wearing SPF 50+ daily and wearing a hat outdoors, it is safer to save deeper peels for the winter months.

The therapeutic effects typically last around 12 weeks. Most patients follow a regular schedule of treatments every 3 months to maintain their defense against migraine attacks.

Pain relief from clenching usually occurs within 1 to 2 weeks. If you have significant joint clicking, this may improve as the muscle relaxes, but structural joint issues may require a dentist's input.

It can take up to 2 to 4 weeks to see a meaningful reduction in headache frequency. For severe chronic sufferers, it may take two full treatment cycles (at 12-week intervals) to experience the maximum benefit.

"Compensatory sweating" is very rare when treating the underarms with injectables. Your body has millions of sweat glands, and deactivating a small fraction will not overload the others.

The masseter is a very strong muscle and requires higher doses than forehead wrinkles. It typically takes between 20 to 50 units per side, depending on the strength and size of your muscle.

Because it involves multiple injection sites, there is some mild discomfort, but we use ultra-fine needles. The entire process takes about 15 minutes and is very well tolerated by patients.

Most clients return every 4 to 6 months. Interestingly, many find that after 2 or 3 consecutive treatments, the habit of grinding is broken, and they can go much longer between top-ups.

"Compensatory sweating" (sweating more in a different area) is extremely rare with underarm injections. Your body has millions of sweat glands, and treating a small area doesn't disrupt your core temperature regulation.

Yes, you should continue your prescribed acute medications as directed by your doctor. Botulinum Toxin is a preventative therapy, designed to reduce how often you need to use those acute medications.

The needles are tiny. For underarms, the discomfort is very minimal. Hands and feet are more sensitive, so we use specialized numbing techniques for those areas.

Sunekos requires a course of 3 to 4 treatments. You will typically start noticing a brightening effect and reduced dark circles a few weeks after your second session.

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.
