FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers for planning, safety, and realistic expectations—before you book.

How do I choose the right treatment for my skin goals?

I start with a consultation and a quick skin assessment (concerns, sensitivities, medical history, downtime preferences, and your timeline). From there, I recommend the smallest effective plan—often a combination of professional treatments plus a simple home routine (especially daily SPF).

When should I postpone treatment?

Please postpone if you’re unwell, have an active skin infection, open wounds in the treatment area, a fresh sunburn, or an uncontrolled flare of a skin condition. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, some procedures and ingredients may not be recommended—tell me and I’ll suggest safer options.

What results can I realistically expect—and how fast?

Some treatments give an immediate “fresh” glow (facials, carbon peel). Collagen-stimulating procedures (HIFU, RF microneedling, collagen stimulators) build gradually—typically over weeks to a few months. Your results depend on baseline skin condition, consistency (courses matter), and aftercare (sun protection is critical).

I get cold sores. Can I still do peels, lip fillers, or microneedling?

Yes, but please tell me in advance. Some procedures can trigger a herpes flare in people with a history of cold sores. In many cases, prophylactic antiviral medication is recommended. I’ll guide you based on your history and the treatment area.

Does HIFU hurt and when will I see results?

Sensation varies: many people feel warmth, tingling, or brief discomfort during pulses. There’s usually no downtime. Some tightening can be subtle at first, with the most noticeable change commonly appearing over 8–12 weeks as collagen remodels.

What is the downtime for RF microneedling?

Expect redness and mild swelling similar to a sunburn for about 1–3 days (sometimes longer depending on intensity). Makeup is usually paused for at least 24–48 hours. Texture and tone improvements build over time, with collagen-driven changes typically developing over the following months.
