Not always. Old filler that sits where it was placed is a base to build on; filler that has migrated above the lip line, settled unevenly, or left lumps is cleared first. When we dissolve before refilling, when a touch-up is enough, the two-week wait, and what the refill looks like.
Yes. XERF is radiofrequency skin tightening, not a light-based or resurfacing treatment, so it has no sun-avoidance window on our preparation list. Where the "no treatments in summer" idea comes from, why it does not describe XERF, how to time a session before a trip, and what still applies in the sun.
Dysport usually starts to show in 24 to 48 hours, most people see a clear change by day 2 to 3, and the full result is in by day 7 to 14. What the first two weeks look like day by day, why the timing varies from face to face, how it compares with Botox, and why a touch-up is a two-week decision.
Often, yes. Most lips are naturally uneven, and hyaluronic acid filler adds volume only where it is placed, so the two sides can be evened out. Why lips are uneven, how we plan filler side by side starting on the smaller side, when the chin comes into it, and what to expect while the result settles.
No. Facial balancing is a planned multi-area filler course, typically 4 to 6 syringes over 1 to 2 sessions, built for proportion between your features rather than identical left and right sides. Which areas it usually involves, how Sculptra and masseter Botox fit, and how we build the plan at a consult.
An acne facial clears what is on the skin on the day. The six habits our team lists in the reel decide how much there is to clear next time: food, makeup brushes, pillowcases, not picking, medical-grade skincare, and a correcting-then-monthly cadence, with what the research says about diet.
Botox carries an FDA indication for severe underarm sweating that topical agents have not managed. Who it is for, how it differs from Botox for lines, and how the visit goes.
Forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet hold 3 to 4 months, a lip flip 6 to 8 weeks, masseter Botox 4 to 6 months. Why the interval follows the muscle rather than the month, what the evidence says about the masseter, and how we set a per-area maintenance schedule at a consult.
Yes, in the right order. Sculptra and Renuva go about four to six weeks before a XERF series; hyaluronic acid filler waits until after the second session. Why the heat sets the sequence, and what a combined calendar looks like.
XERF energy is counted in shots, and the count follows the treatment area. Why a full face and neck takes more shots than a partial treatment, how shots differ from sessions, and how the count for your visit is set at a consult.
XERF doesn't treat melasma — but melasma-prone skin can still have it. What the controlled RF heat does, why a small flare risk is assessed rather than ignored, and how pre-treatment and SPF fit into the plan.
What a 12-month regenerative hair-restoration plan actually involves — the assessment, quarterly exosome sessions, when a laser phase gets layered in, and realistic timelines.
The "no procedures on Accutane" rule was written about resurfacing treatments, not muscle-relaxing injections — here's how an injector actually decides, and where makeup fits around an appointment.
