Frequently Asked Questions

WEIGHT LOSS / GLP-1

  • GLP-1 therapy uses a medication that mimics a natural hormone to regulate appetite, slow digestion, and stabilize blood sugar. This helps you feel fuller longer and supports steady, sustainable weight loss.

  • Many patients notice reduced appetite within the first few weeks, with weight loss progress becoming more noticeable after the first month. Results build gradually over several months for long-term success.

  • We recommend pairing GLP-1 therapy with a balanced eating plan that includes plenty of protein, vegetables, and hydration. We’ll guide you through lifestyle tips to maximize your results.

  • Yes — GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved and used under medical supervision. We monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed to keep you safe and supported.

MICRONEEDLING

  • Microneedling improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, softens acne scars, and enhances collagen production for overall skin rejuvenation.

  • A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, making it very tolerable for most patients.

  • A series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for best results, with maintenance sessions a few times a year.

  • You may experience redness similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours, with skin returning to normal shortly after.

BIOSTIMULATORS

  • Instead of simply filling an area, biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse stimulate your skin to produce collagen, restoring structure and volume naturally.

  • Results build gradually over several months as new collagen forms, creating a subtle and natural transformation.

  • Many patients enjoy results for up to two years, making biostimulators a long-term investment in skin health.

  • Biostimulators are great for patients with volume loss in the cheeks, temples, or jawline who want gradual, natural improvement rather than instant results.

IV HYDRATION

  • IV hydration delivers fluids, vitamins, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream for fast, effective rehydration and replenishment.

  • It can boost energy, support immunity, speed recovery after illness or exercise, and improve skin hydration from within.

  • Most IV hydration sessions take 30–45 minutes and you can relax comfortably during the infusion.

  • Many patients do IV hydration monthly, while others use it as needed for recovery or wellness support.

BOTOX

  • Botox temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to smooth wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. Treatments are customized to preserve natural expression while softening unwanted lines.

  • Most patients enjoy results for about 3–4 months, depending on the area treated and individual metabolism.

  • No — our approach is conservative and focused on natural results. You’ll still be able to smile, frown, and express yourself normally.

  • There is little to no downtime. Most patients return to work or daily activities right after treatment.

DERMAL FILLERS

  • Fillers can restore lost volume, smooth lines, enhance lips, define cheekbones, and contour the jawline for a balanced profile.

  • Most fillers last 6–12 months, depending on the area treated and product used. Some longer-lasting options are available.

  • Results are visible immediately after treatment, with final results settling in after mild swelling subsides within a few days.

  • No — our technique focuses on subtle, balanced results so you look refreshed, not “done.”

HAIR PRP

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses your own blood plasma, which is rich in growth factors, to stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote new hair growth.

  • We typically recommend a series of 3–4 sessions spaced about a month apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6–12 months.

  • Most patients notice less shedding after their second treatment, with visible thickening and regrowth appearing in 3–6 months.

  • There is minimal downtime. You should avoid washing your hair, sweating, or using hair

PDO THREADS

  • PDO threads are made of polydioxanone, a safe, absorbable material used in medical sutures. When inserted under the skin, they provide an immediate lifting effect and stimulate collagen production (neocollagenesis). Over time, the threads dissolve, but the new collagen network they leave behind helps keep skin firmer and more youthful for 12–24 months.

  • PDO threads can be used on the face and body. Common areas include the cheeks, jawline, neck, and brows for lifting. Smooth threads can also be used to improve skin texture in areas with fine lines, such as under the eyes or around the mouth.

  • The procedure is minimally invasive, and a local anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable. Most patients describe mild pressure or pulling during the treatment but no significant pain.

  • Results are visible immediately, with continued improvement over the next 8–12 weeks as new collagen forms. Results can last between 12–24 months depending on the type of threads used, your skin quality, and your lifestyle.
