How does Botox work, and how long do results last?
Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines such as forehead lines and frown lines. Results usually appear gradually over several days and typically last a few months. Timing varies from person to person, and your provider will help you plan follow-up visits.
What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox softens lines caused by muscle movement. Dermal fillers restore volume and smooth lines caused by volume loss, and they can also add definition to areas such as the lips and cheeks. Some patients benefit from both, and your provider can explain which is right for your goals.
How does PicoSure tattoo removal work?
PicoSure uses ultra-short pulses of laser energy to break tattoo ink into tiny particles that your body naturally clears over time. Most tattoos need a series of sessions. The number depends on the ink colors, size, depth, and location of the tattoo.
Is tattoo removal painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or sting during each pulse. Sessions are brief, and your provider will discuss comfort measures with you before you begin.
What is microneedling, and who is a good candidate?
Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny controlled channels in the skin, which encourages your body to produce fresh collagen. It is often used to improve texture, fine lines, and the look of scars. Your provider will confirm during a consultation whether it suits your skin and health history.
Can you help with acne scars?
Yes. We offer acne scar reduction treatments designed to improve skin texture and the appearance of scarring. The right plan depends on your scar type and skin, so we start with an evaluation.
What does PicoSure laser skin rejuvenation treat?
PicoSure laser skin rejuvenation is used to improve skin tone and texture, and to soften the look of fine lines and certain types of pigmentation. Your provider will explain what to expect for your skin concerns.
Will I have downtime after treatment?
It depends on the treatment. Many injectable treatments allow you to return to normal activities right away, while laser and microneedling treatments can cause temporary redness or sensitivity. Your provider will give you clear aftercare instructions for your specific treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your goals, your skin, and the type of treatment. Injectables are usually repeated periodically to maintain results. Laser, microneedling, and tattoo removal are often done in a series. We outline a realistic plan at your consultation.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with a clean face if you are having a skin treatment, and tell your provider about any medications, supplements, allergies, or recent sun exposure. Your provider will give you any treatment-specific instructions when you schedule.
Does insurance cover aesthetic treatments?
Cosmetic treatments are generally not covered by health insurance. Call us at (479) 755-2024 if you would like to talk through pricing and payment options before your visit.
Where can I read reviews from other patients?
