How many sessions do I need?

You will see results after the very first sesion and depending on the area, most clients find they need 4-5 sessions to see a reduction of 90%, with one or two in the following years for touch ups.

What does it feel like?

Unlike other machines, our advanced Soprano Ice Platinum laser makes hair removal virtually painless. You will feel a warm sensation as the laser glides over your skin to penetrate the hair follicle immediately followed by a cooling sensation.

Should I shave beforehand?

Yes please! Shaving is required 12-24 hours before your appointment.

While laser hair removal is long lasting, it is not permanent. Some clients come in for annual sessions to touch-up to areas that are not completely void of hair growth.

I have dark, thick hair, can I still get laser?

Yes! Thanks to our advanced laser machine, we are able to offer laser hair removal on all skin and hair types- even dark, thick, and curly hair.

Can I get laser in the summer?

You certainly can however we advise that you not have excessive sun exposure or artificial tanning 72 hours prior to appointment and three days after you receive laser hair removal.

What if I have tattoos or tattoo removal?

Unfortunately we cannot perform laser hair removal on top of skin that has been tattooed. However, if you have finished your tattoo removal sessions, you are able to receive laser hair removal.

What are the risks involved?

Damage to natural skin texture, change in pigmentation, scarring, excessive swelling, fragile skin, and bruising may occur. Our Laser Hair Removal Technician can answer any of your questions or concerns regarding the risks associated with LHR.

Neuromodulator "Botox"

Neuromodulators (botulinum toxin type A) is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for causing these lines. The treatment is commonly used for areas such as the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes.

What to Expect:

Treatment Duration: Botox injections are relatively quick, typically taking 10-15 minutes.
Preparation: There is minimal preparation required. Avoid using blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin) and alcohol for a few days prior to your appointment.
Procedure: A fine needle is used to inject Botox into specific muscles. You may experience minor discomfort or a slight pinching sensation during the injections.
Aftercare: You can resume most normal activities immediately after treatment. It’s recommended to avoid rubbing the treated areas and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

Results:

Onset: The effects of Botox usually start to become noticeable within 3-5 days.
Full Effect: The full results are typically visible within 1-2 weeks.
Duration: Results can last between 3-6 months. Regular treatments are necessary to maintain the desired effect.

Possible Side Effects:

Common: Mild bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site.
Uncommon: Headaches, drooping eyelids, or asymmetry in muscle movement.
Rare: Allergic reactions or more serious complications. Inform your provider if you have any concerns.

Contraindications:

Botox is not suitable for everyone. Do not use Botox if you have:

A known allergy to botulinum toxin or any of the components in Botox.
Neuromuscular disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis).
Active skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area.

Pre-Treatment Consultation:

A consultation with Dr. Duyvewaardt is essential and complementary to determine if Botox is right for you. She will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and explain the expected outcomes.

Post-Treatment Care:

Avoid: Rubbing or massaging the treated areas.
Be Cautious: Refrain from lying down or engaging in vigorous physical activity for at least 4 hours after treatment.
Follow Up: Schedule follow-up appointments as recommended by your practitioner to assess results and plan future treatments.

Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a procedure that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries to the skin in order to generate new collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer, more toned skin. Microneedling may treat various scars, fine lines, pigmentation and large pores.

Treatments are completed using the Eclipse Micropen, a advanced medical-grade automated micro-needling device, paired with topical serums to enhance treatment. We offer facials using Hyaluronic Acid or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), each with their own benefits.
