FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Learn more about our anti-aging treatments and find answers to questions you may have about dermal fillers for lips, cheeks, and chin or Botox/Dysport and chemical peels.
  • What is Botox and Dysport?

    Botox and Dysport both perform the same way, just two different brands.


    How does it work?


    Botox and Dysport are neurotoxins that work by blocking the release of a key chemical, acetylcholine. Blocking the release of this chemical temporarily reduces muscle contractions, smoothing skin wrinkles within the treatment area.

  • What are Dermal Fillers?

    Dermal fillers and a non-surgical treatment that can smooth out fine lines and deep folds in the face. They are also a great choice for enhancing lips and restoring volume loss in the cheeks.


    Injectable fillers are made with hyaluronic acid; a naturally occurring sugar molecule that is a key component of the structural matrix, holding all the cells in your skin together.

  • Is Botox and Filler Permanent?

    No, neither Botox nor filler injections are permanent. Botox, temporarily relaxes muscles and typically lasts for about three to six months. Its effects gradually wear off, necessitating periodic treatments to maintain results.


    Dermal fillers, used to add volume and diminish wrinkles, are also not permanent. The longevity of filler results varies depending on the type of filler used and treated area, but can generally last anywhere from 6-18 months.

  • How often do I need Fillers?

  • What are the longterm benefits of Botox?

    By relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines to form, injections can prevent the development of new creases. Some people discover that with regular treatments, they have fewer wrinkles and lines over the long term.

  • What are the benefits of injections?

    One of the benefits of Botox injections is that it can be repeated, unlike other cosmetic procedures. You can tweak your dosage each time to achieve your desired look.


    Botox, derived from botulinum toxin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles, resulting in smoother, youthful skin. Dermal fillers add volume to areas affected by age-related volume loss, providing a more plump and contoured look. Both treatments are minimally invasive, require little downtime, and yield natural-looking results.

  • What is a Chemical Peel?

    During a chemical peel, a specially formulated solution is applied to the skin, causing controlled exfoliation of the outermost layers. 


    This process removes dead skin cells, promotes cellular turnover, and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in a smoother, more radiant complexion. 


    Chemical peels can be tailored to address various skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.


    The intensity of the peel can vary, ranging from mild to deep, depending on the desired outcome and the specific needs of the individual.


    The result is refreshed, revitalized skin with improved texture and a more youthful glow.

  • What is Microneedling?

    The SkinPen microneedling treatment works to activate the skin’s natural healing process. 


    Microneedles pierce the skin, triggering your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue 


    Following each session, the skin begins to heal itself, looking more renewed and rejuvenated by stimulating collagen production.


    A series of treatments is recommended for best results, lasting up to six months.

To Bundle or Not to Bundle?


The following treatments can be bundled as a way to save time and money on your beauty goals. Every client is different, and bundling will always depend on the treatment area and unique needs.


Botox or Dysport + Dermal Filler
These injectable treatments complement each other and can be done together to address both wrinkles and volume loss.

Microneedling (SkinPen) + RF Microneedling (SCARLET SRF)
For enhanced skin rejuvenation, both treatments can be done in the same session, as RF microneedling adds an extra layer of skin tightening.

Chemical Peels + Microneedling (SkinPen)
Microneedling followed by a light chemical peel can provide a more intense resurfacing effect for smoother, more radiant skin.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) + Dermal Filler
IPL can improve skin tone and texture, while dermal filler restores volume, making them complementary treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Laser Hair Removal + Dermal Filler
These two treatments can often be performed during the same session. Just ensure the filler treatment areas are not directly affected by the laser (e.g., face, underarms, or chin).

IPL + Chemical Peels
IPL can target pigmentation and redness, while a chemical peel can address texture and fine lines, working synergistically to improve overall skin appearance.

Plasma Resurfacing (PLASMAGE®) + Microneedling
These treatments can be combined for maximum skin rejuvenation, targeting deep wrinkles and tightening with plasma energy, while microneedling boosts collagen production.

By combining multiple services, you can maximize your results and save time with a single visit. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your provider to ensure your skin is ready for these treatments together and to discuss any potential downtime or recovery needs.
