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 highly recommend wearing a chin compression strap when you are at home (and sleeping) for the first 3 days. It helps minimize swelling and supports the skin as it retracts.

The underarm skin is surprisingly resilient. We use an ultra-fine needle to make shallow injections just beneath the skin's surface. Most clients report it feels like tiny, very tolerable pinpricks.

The Hyalase enzyme can sting slightly as it goes in. To make the process comfortable, we often mix the dissolving agent with Lidocaine (a numbing medication) and use topical numbing cream prior to injection.

The injections themselves are quick. The solution is mixed with a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort, though you will feel an aching or warm sensation as it starts to work.

Not noticeably. We only reduce the excess overactivity of the muscle. You will still be able to chew, talk, and smile entirely normally—you just won't have the strength to unconsciously grind your teeth.

Lips are highly vascular, so swelling is expected. The majority of swelling peaks the morning after treatment and subsides over 3 to 5 days. We recommend icing the area intermittently.

Yes, you will have small, localized bumps (like little bee stings) immediately after the injections as the product sits under the skin. These typically disperse and flatten out within 12 to 24 hours.

Discontinue the use of Retinols (Vitamin A), AHAs, BHAs, and physical exfoliants for at least 3 to 5 days prior to your peel to prevent over-sensitizing the skin.

Please wait at least 24 hours before shaving or applying deodorants to ensure the injection sites are fully healed and to prevent any irritation or infection.

The injections feel like a tiny, quick pinch. The needles used are incredibly fine, and the procedure is usually completed within a matter of minutes with minimal discomfort.

It is incredibly quick and virtually painless. Most clients describe it as a tiny pinch, and the entire procedure takes less than 5 minutes.

Some patients notice a reduction in headache frequency within 2 weeks, but it often takes a full month, and sometimes two treatment cycles, to experience the maximum preventative benefit.

You will start to notice a significant decrease in sweating within 3 to 7 days, with the full drying effect locked in by day 14.

The muscle begins to relax within a few days, and most clients feel significant relief from jaw tension and headaches within 1 to 2 weeks.

You should never stop prescribed medication without consulting your primary doctor. However, many patients find their need for acute pain relief drops significantly after injection therapy.

The slimming effect takes longer than the pain relief because the muscle needs time to physically shrink. You will start seeing the contour change around 4 to 6 weeks post-treatment.

Mild, temporary side effects can include soreness at the injection sites or slight neck stiffness. As a bonus side effect, you will also experience softening of forehead and frown lines.

While a prior diagnosis is helpful, our consultation will include a thorough review of your headache history to ensure this treatment is safe and likely to be effective for your specific pain patterns.

Dehydration is a lack of water in the skin, often caused by environmental factors, air conditioning, ageing, or using harsh skincare products that damage the skin barrier.

Uneven texture is usually caused by a buildup of dead skin cells, slowed cellular turnover, sun damage, or mild acne scarring. As we age, our skin struggles to exfoliate itself naturally.

Dark circles can be caused by true hollowing (a structural shadow), thinning skin that reveals blood vessels, hyperpigmentation, or a combination of all three.

While it is difficult to completely "erase" deep scarring, our treatments can significantly soften indentations, remodel the tissue, and dramatically improve the overall smoothness of your skin.

Dermal fillers stay where they are placed to build volume and shape. Profhilo is a bioremodelling skin booster that flows smoothly under the skin like honey, hydrating the tissue without changing your facial contours.

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.

No. Dry skin lacks oil, while dehydrated skin lacks water. You can have an oily skin type but still suffer from cellular dehydration, making it look dull and tight.

We recommend a combination approach. Professional Peels clear away dead cells immediately, while treatments like Microneedling and Skin Boosters remodel the skin from underneath for long-term luminosity.

Microneedling stimulates new collagen production. As this collagen forms, it plumps the skin and tightens the walls of the pores, making them appear visibly smaller.
