Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! We use only FDA-approved products and follow the highest medical safety standards. Both Ayfarah and Monique are licensed aesthetic specialists with extensive training in facial anatomy, injection techniques, and safety protocols. We conduct thorough consultations to ensure each treatment is appropriate for your individual health profile.

During your consultation, we'll assess your concerns, goals, skin condition, and facial structure to recommend the most effective treatment(s). We believe in honest recommendations and will never push unnecessary procedures. Many clients benefit from a combination approach tailored to their unique needs.

Pricing varies based on the treatment, amount of product needed, and treatment area. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation with no hidden fees. Many treatments can be customized to fit different budgets. Contact us for specific pricing information.

We accept various payment methods and can discuss flexible payment options during your consultation. Many clients choose to start with one area and gradually add treatments over time.

Bring a valid ID, a list of any medications or supplements you're taking, and information about any medical conditions or allergies. Come with clean skin (no makeup if possible), and feel free to bring photos showing your desired results or concerns.

Botox is a neurotoxin that relaxes muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles (lines caused by facial expressions) like forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines.

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth static wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They're used for lips, cheeks, under-eye hollows, and smile lines.

Many clients use both: Botox for expression lines and fillers for volume loss.

Not with our approach! We specialize in natural-looking results that enhance your features without looking "done." We can adjust the amount of product to achieve the level of movement and subtlety you prefer. Our goal is for you to look like the best, most refreshed version of yourself.

Botox: Typically 3-4 months. Results can last longer with consistent treatments.

Fillers: 6-18 months depending on the product type and area treated. Hyaluronic acid fillers in lips last 6-9 months, while cheek fillers can last 12-18 months.

Most clients describe the sensation as a small pinch or pressure. We use very fine needles and can apply numbing cream before treatment for sensitive areas. Many modern fillers also contain lidocaine (a numbing agent) for added comfort. Most people find the treatments very tolerable.

Botox naturally wears off over 3-4 months. Hyaluronic acid fillers (the most common type) can be dissolved immediately with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed, though this is rarely necessary with proper technique and conservative treatment.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are regenerative treatments that use your own blood's healing properties to rejuvenate skin and stimulate hair growth. We draw a small amount of your blood, process it to concentrate the growth factors, and inject it into treatment areas. These growth factors stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote tissue regeneration.

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Skin texture and tone
• Under-eye hollows and dark circles
• Acne scars
• Hair loss and thinning
• Overall skin rejuvenation

Most clients see optimal results with a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 6-12 months. Results are gradual and continue to improve over several months as collagen production increases.

PRP/PRF is very safe because it uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions. Common side effects are minimal: temporary redness, mild swelling, and possibly small bruises at injection sites. These typically resolve within 24-48 hours.

Morpheus8 is a fractional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device that remodels collagen deep in the skin. It combines microneedling with RF energy to tighten skin, reduce wrinkles, improve texture, and contour facial features. It's particularly effective for skin laxity, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation.

We apply a topical numbing cream 30-45 minutes before treatment, making the procedure comfortable for most clients. You may feel warmth and pressure during treatment, but it's generally well-tolerated. Post-treatment, your skin may feel tight and warm, similar to a sunburn.

Expect 2-3 days of redness and mild swelling. Your skin may feel rough or "sandpapery" as it heals. Most clients can return to work after 2-3 days with makeup. Avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for the first week.

Most clients see significant improvement with 1-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Results continue to improve for up to 6 months as new collagen forms. The number of treatments depends on your concerns and desired results.

Results can last 1-2 years with proper skincare and sun protection. Because Morpheus8 stimulates your body's own collagen production, results are long-lasting but not permanent. Maintenance treatments help sustain results.

There's no "right" age—it depends on your individual concerns. Many people start preventative Botox in their late 20s or early 30s. Others wait until they notice specific concerns. The best time to start is when you're bothered by a particular issue. We'll assess your needs during consultation and provide honest recommendations.

Clients must be at least 18 years old. There's no upper age limit—we have clients in their 70s and 80s who achieve beautiful results. Good candidates are in overall good health. We'll evaluate your medical history during consultation to ensure treatments are appropriate for you.

Absolutely! We welcome clients of all genders. Aesthetic treatments are increasingly popular among men seeking to maintain a fresh, professional appearance. We tailor techniques to preserve masculine features while achieving natural-looking rejuvenation.
