Treatment-Specific Questions
How long does it take to see results from laser hair removal?
You may begin to see results after your first session, but optimal results typically require multiple treatments. The exact number of sessions needed will depend on your hair type, skin tone, and the area being treated.
Is micro-needling painful?
Micro-needling is generally well-tolerated by most clients. We apply a numbing cream before the procedure to ensure your comfort. You may experience mild redness or irritation afterward, but this typically subsides within a few hours.
How many HydraFacial treatments do I need to achieve noticeable results?
Many clients notice improvements in skin texture and hydration after just one HydraFacial session. However, for long-lasting results and continued skin health, we recommend monthly treatments.
Can I get Botox or dermal fillers on the same day as other facial treatments?
Yes, Botox and dermal fillers can often be combined with other facial treatments, such as facials or chemical peels. However, your provider will assess whether combining treatments is appropriate for your skin type and goals.
Pre-Treatment and Post-Treatment Care
What should I avoid before my laser treatment?
Before laser treatments, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks. Additionally, we recommend avoiding any products that may irritate your skin, such as retinoids or exfoliants, before your appointment.
What should I do to prepare for my microblading appointment?
Before your microblading session, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours. Additionally, refrain from plucking or waxing your brows in the days leading up to your appointment.
How long is the recovery time after a chemical peel?
The recovery time after a chemical peel depends on the strength of the peel. Light peels may have minimal downtime, while deeper peels may require a few days to a week for your skin to fully heal. We’ll provide you with post-care instructions to ensure optimal recovery.
What post-treatment care is required after laser hair removal?
After laser hair removal, it’s essential to avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen to the treated area. We also recommend avoiding hot showers, saunas, and intense physical activity for 24-48 hours after treatment to prevent irritation.
Pricing and Payments
How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
The cost of laser tattoo removal depends on the size and color of the tattoo, as well as the number of sessions required. We offer personalized quotes during your consultation, based on the complexity of the tattoo.
Do you offer packages for multiple treatments?
Yes, we offer a variety of treatment packages that allow you to save on multiple sessions or combine services. We’ll provide detailed information on available packages during your consultation.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept various forms of payment, including credit cards, debit cards, and cash. We also offer financing options for certain treatments, allowing you to spread out payments over time.
Health and Safety
Are your injectable treatments safe?
Yes, our injectable treatments, including Botox and dermal fillers, are performed by licensed professionals with extensive experience in medical aesthetics. We use FDA-approved products to ensure your safety and the best possible results.
How do you ensure the safety of your laser treatments?
All of our laser treatments are performed by certified technicians using state-of-the-art equipment. We carefully assess your skin type and medical history before treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness. Our technicians are trained to adjust settings to suit your skin type and minimize the risk of adverse effects.
Cosmetic and Skincare Treatments
How often should I get a facial?
For optimal skin health, we recommend getting a facial every 4-6 weeks. This allows us to address any seasonal changes in your skin and maintain a clear, radiant complexion.
Can I wear makeup after a facial or micro-needling session?
It’s best to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after facials or micro-needling sessions to allow your skin to breathe and recover. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions following your treatment.
What is the difference between dermal fillers and Botox?
Botox is used to relax muscles and reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to add volume to areas of the face, such as the cheeks or lips, and fill in deeper wrinkles and folds.
How do I maintain the results of my skin treatments?
To maintain the results of your skin treatments, it’s important to follow a consistent skincare routine at home and stay hydrated. Additionally, regular maintenance treatments at Skinholic Aesthetics & Laser will help prolong the results of many procedures.
