FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers
Yes. All injectable and medical treatments at Skin Therapeutics are physician-performed or directly supervised to ensure safety, precision, and optimal results.
Physician-led care allows for advanced anatomical knowledge, medical assessment, and complication management. Treatments are approached conservatively with long-term skin health in mind.
Every patient begins with a personalized consultation to assess anatomy, skin condition, and goals before recommending a treatment plan.
Downtime varies by treatment. Many injectable treatments have minimal downtime, while laser or regenerative procedures may involve short recovery periods. Details are reviewed during consultation.

How long does Botox last?

Botulinum toxin treatments typically last 3–4 months depending on metabolism and treatment area.

Will Xeomin -Botox make me look frozen?

No. Our approach focuses on natural refinement while preserving facial expression.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 6–18 months depending on product and area treated.

Is filler reversible?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if necessary.

What is PRF and how is it different from PRP?

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is derived from your own blood and releases growth factors more gradually compared to PRP. It is used to support collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation.

How many PRF treatments are needed?

A series of 2–3 treatments spaced several weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results.

Is Evolve Transform a weight-loss treatment?

No. It is designed for body contour refinement and muscle toning in patients who already maintain a healthy lifestyle.

How many sessions are required?

Most patients require a series of treatments (typically 6–8 sessions) for visible improvement.

Does Botox help with excessive sweating?

Yes. Neuromodulators can reduce overactive sweat glands in areas such as the underarms and palms.

Can Botox help with jaw clenching or TMJ?

Yes. Targeted injections into the masseter muscles can reduce clenching and jaw tension.

Is IV therapy safe?

IV treatments are administered in a monitored medical setting after appropriate medical screening.

How long does an IV session take?

Most infusions take 45–60 minutes.

Are treatments safe for all skin types?

Yes. Treatment plans are customized based on skin type, medical history, and goals.

What if I am new to aesthetic treatments?

We prioritize education and conservative treatment planning for first-time patients.

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are microscopic extracellular vesicles that contain signaling molecules such as growth factors and proteins. In aesthetic medicine, they are typically applied topically following microneedling or regenerative procedures to support skin recovery and collagen stimulation.

Are exosomes the same as stem cells?

No. Exosomes are not stem cells. They are biologic signaling components derived from cellular sources and are used as an adjunct to collagen-stimulating treatments. They do not involve stem cell transplantation.
(Important for compliance.)

What do exosome treatments help with?

When used in combination with procedures like microneedling, exosomes may support:

  • Skin texture improvement
  • Fine lines
  • Post-procedure recovery
  • Overall skin quality

They are not a replacement for injectables or surgical procedures.

What is Radiesse and how is it different from traditional fillers?

Radiesse is a calcium-based injectable that provides immediate structural support while also stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse functions as a biostimulator, promoting gradual skin firmness and contour refinement. It is often used for patients seeking longer-term structural improvement rather than simple volume replacement.

What areas can Radiesse treat?

Radiesse may be used to enhance jawline definition, chin support, lower face structure, and hand rejuvenation. In diluted form, it can also be used to stimulate collagen in areas such as the neck.

Is Radiesse reversible?

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse is not dissolved with an enzyme. For this reason, treatments are performed conservatively and with careful patient selection.

How long does Radiesse last?

Results typically last 12–18 months, with collagen stimulation effects developing gradually over several months.
