FAQ
Do your services include injections?
Yes, we have a licensed medical doctor who performs the treatment. Injections include BOTOX® and dermal fillers.
What is the difference between BOTOX® and dermal fillers?
Botox is one of the most familiar ways to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, Botox Cosmetic is a brand of neuromodulator. The treatments work by causing facial muscles to relax temporarily. It effectively treats frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, lip lines, and many other wrinkles resulting from facial expression.
Like Botox, fillers are an injectable treatment which also tackles signs of aging. However, unlike Botox, they don’t relax facial muscles but instead work to fill creases and “plump” the skin. Soft tissue fillers replace lost tissue volume, filling folds and wrinkles.
How long do BOTOX® and fillers/injectables last?
BOTOX®: On average, Botox lasts from 3-4 months.
Juvederm®: Results last 9-12 months.
Injectables

It is an effective way to get rid of your double chin without surgery. BELKYRA™ is a made of a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid which is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. Deoxycholic acid when injected will destroy the cell membranes of fat cells under the skin and help with the absorption of fat.
