FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between Neuromodulators and Dermal Fillers?
Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport/Letybo/Xeomin/Nuceiva) stop the small muscles in your face from making the movements that cause wrinkles, while Dermal Fillers add/replace volume to areas such as lips, under eyes, cheeks, chin, jaw, temples, nasolabial folds.
Dermal Filler is often used in combination with Neuromodulators to enhance the overall youthful appearance and target areas that Neuromodulators cannot be used.
When should I start Injectables?
There is no right answer to that. Some clients like to start as young as 20 for preventative measures, however most clients are in their 30’s and older. Our collagen starts to break down after the age of 35. Most people notice that their lines at this age start to become more defined and may appear even when they are not showing expression. If you are hesitant to start injectables, we 100% recommend building up the collage and elastin in your 20s before it starts to decline with Microneedling and a great medical grade skin care routine.
What if I don’t know what I need?
Please book an in-person consultation. We can assess your skin, anatomy, lifestyle and curate a treatment plan that works for you! Please ensure you book a virtual consultation with our Medical Director before any Injectable appointment. This is not necessary for facials or chemical peels.
What can I expect in a consultation?
You will first have a 5 minute virtual consultation with our Medical Director, Jessica, Nurse Practitioner. She will review your medical history, allergies and go over any contraindications to treatment. Following this consultation, you can book an in-person consultation with any of our practitioners to discuss a treatment plan that is customized to you. All treatment options will be discussed, along with risks, anticipated outcomes, consent and expectations. If you have been down the Injectable road before, you can feel free to book a treatment and a consultation will still be performed within this appointment.
