Frequently Asked
Questions

Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, often worsened by hormonal shifts, certain skincare products, or genetics. A proper assessment identifies which of these is driving your specific breakouts — see our Acne Treatment options.

Diet can play a supporting role — high-glycemic foods and dairy affect some people more than others — but it rarely resolves acne on its own. Most meaningful improvement comes from a proper skincare and treatment plan alongside any dietary adjustments.

Most people notice a visible reduction in breakouts within 4–8 weeks of starting a consistent routine, with fuller results over 3–6 months depending on severity.

Yes, if the underlying trigger — hormonal, genetic, or lifestyle — isn't addressed. A short maintenance plan after your initial treatment course helps keep it under control long-term.

They can look similar but behave very differently — melasma is hormonally driven and needs a gentler approach, while sunspots respond well to more direct treatment. Read our full breakdown: Melasma vs. Sunspots.

It depends on the type and depth of pigment, but most patients see gradual improvement over 8–12 weeks with consistent sun protection and the right topical or in-clinic plan.

Existing pigment can be significantly improved or cleared, but new pigmentation can form again with sun exposure or hormonal changes — daily SPF is what protects your results long-term.

It can, particularly melasma, if sun protection lapses. That's why every pigmentation plan includes a maintenance routine, not just a one-time treatment.

Common causes include genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and certain medical conditions. Identifying the actual cause is the first step — see our Hair Loss Treatment options.

Results depend on the cause and how early treatment starts. Many patients see meaningful, lasting regrowth, but ongoing maintenance is usually needed since hair loss can be a progressive condition.

Most protocols start with a series of monthly sessions over 3–4 months, followed by periodic maintenance. See the PRP section below for more detail.

Earlier is always better — treatment is most effective on follicles that are thinning but still active, rather than areas that have been dormant for years.

Peels resurface the skin to improve texture, tone, acne, mild scarring, and dullness. The right strength and formula depend entirely on your skin type and goals — see our Chemical Peels.

Lighter peels typically have little to no downtime beyond mild redness for a day. Deeper peels may involve a few days of visible peeling — this is discussed upfront so there are no surprises.

Most concerns respond well to a course of 4–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, though this varies by skin type and goal.

Yes, when the formula and strength are matched correctly — sensitive skin usually starts with a gentler peel and builds up gradually rather than jumping straight to a stronger one.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses growth factors drawn from your own blood to stimulate skin rejuvenation or hair follicle activity. Because it uses your own cells, there's no risk of allergic reaction to a foreign substance.

A numbing cream is applied beforehand, so most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful.

For skin, a subtle glow is often visible within days, with fuller collagen-driven improvement over 6–8 weeks. For hair, regrowth is typically noticeable after 2–3 monthly sessions.

Yes — it's commonly paired with microneedling for skin, or used alongside topical treatments for hair, for a stronger combined effect.

Typically three to four months, as the treated muscle gradually regains its normal function. Read more in our article: Botox Myths, Debunked.

Not when it's dosed and placed correctly — the goal is softened lines with natural movement and expression fully intact, not a frozen look.

There's no universal "right age" — some start preventatively in their late twenties, others begin later. It depends on your skin, expressions, and goals, best discussed in a consultation.

Yes, when performed by a qualified injector using medical-grade product in calculated doses, after a proper medical history review. It has one of the longest safety records in aesthetic medicine.

Botox relaxes muscles to soften expression lines; fillers add volume to restore shape and fullness (like cheeks or lips). They're often used together for a balanced result — see our Dermal Fillers page.

Anywhere from 6 to 18 months depending on the product, treated area, and your individual metabolism.

Most modern fillers are hyaluronic-acid based and can be dissolved with an enzyme if needed, which is one reason they're considered a safer, more flexible option.

Mild swelling or bruising at the injection site is common for a few days; most people return to normal activities the same day.

Pigmentation, unwanted hair, visible vessels, acne scarring, and general texture and tone all have laser-based options — see our Laser Treatments.

This varies by concern and laser type — hair reduction usually needs 6–8 sessions, while pigmentation or resurfacing concerns may need fewer, more spaced-out sessions.

Most patients describe a warm, snapping sensation rather than significant pain, and cooling technology is used throughout to keep it comfortable.

Yes, with the right laser wavelength and settings calibrated for your skin tone — this is exactly why a proper assessment matters before any laser treatment.

Cleanser, moisturizer, and daily sunscreen are the non-negotiable foundation — everything else (actives, treatments) builds on top of that base.

Yes — UV rays pass through windows, and screens emit visible light that can contribute to pigmentation over time, so daily SPF matters regardless of how much time you spend outdoors.

For most skin types, 2–3 times a week is enough. Daily exfoliation, chemical or physical, tends to weaken the skin barrier rather than improve texture.

If a concern has lasted more than a few weeks despite a reasonable routine, or is affecting your confidence, it's worth a proper assessment rather than continuing to guess at home.

The fastest way is a message on WhatsApp — you can also call us directly to schedule a time that works for you.

Any relevant medical history, a list of current medications or skincare products, and photos of how a concern has changed over time if applicable — this helps build a more accurate plan from the first visit.

Yes, an initial WhatsApp consultation is a great way to ask questions or share photos before deciding on an in-person visit.

We're open Monday to Saturday, 11am – 8pm. Message us on WhatsApp to check same-week availability.
