Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We’re here to help

At Renee Marie Aesthetics & Wellness we believe that informed clients feel more confident and empowered in their treatment choices. Whether you’re new to aesthetic care or exploring advanced regenerative treatments, our goal is to guide you with clarity and care. Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our services, safety, results, and what to expect during your visit.

  • Each client is individual and the first step is a personalized consultation. During this we will discuss treatments based on your concerns, assess your skin and facial structure, and recommend the most effective options based on your goals, skin type, and lifestyle.

  • Exosome therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses microscopic extracellular vesicles—called exosomes—to promote deep skin repair, collagen stimulation, and cellular renewal. These exosomes are derived from stem cells and act as natural messengers, delivering powerful growth factors, proteins, and genetic material directly to skin cells. When applied topically or infused through microneedling, they help restore damaged or aging skin at a cellular level. What sets exosome therapy apart is its ability to deliver long-lasting, transformative results with minimal downtime. It effectively addresses concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, acne scars, sun damage, and dullness—making it one of the most innovative non-surgical solutions in aesthetics today. We specialize in exosome therapy and are proud to be among the leading providers of this cutting-edge treatment. Our experienced team uses high-quality, clinical-grade exosome products to ensure exceptional outcomes, whether used on their own or in combination with services like PRP or microneedling. Patients consistently report brighter, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin after just a few sessions. Thanks to its regenerative power and versatility, exosome therapy is widely considered the future of skincare—and Regen Medical Aesthetics is the trusted destination for those ready to experience its full potential. Exosomes are powerful cellular messengers that promote skin regeneration and healing. We use exosome therapy to enhance results from microneedling and PRP, targeting fine lines, texture, and scarring at the cellular level. It’s cutting-edge, science-backed, and results-driven.

  • WHAT CAUSES HAIR LOSS?
    Hair loss can be attributed to a variety of factors. The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition that happens with aging.  It can also be attributed to hormonal changes and medical conditions, stress, medications, radiation, and GLP-1 (Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Wegovy, etc) usage, as well as hairstyles and treatments. All of these, or a combination of them, can all affect hair and scalp health.

    How is Hair Loss Treated?

    We offer safe, non-surgical solution for both men and women that are safe and effective for all skin and hair types, and 100% natural.

    • DE|RIVE is a patented, biomimetic plant-based serum specifically formulated for hair and scalp health. DE|RIVE has been shown to reduce inflammation & increase hydration and blood flow to the scalp. The serum also aids in the removal of dead cells from around the follicle revitalizing the scalp, helping nourish the scalp and hair follicles and enhancing the appearance of fuller, healthier hair.

    • PRP hair restoration treatments that use your body’s natural healing factors to stimulate hair growth.

    • A combination of these with an in-office procedure such as AquaGROW, NouvvaGROW, or microneedling, and ultrasound to apply the in-office DE|RIVE serum or PRP along with take home products are typically used to further support the treatment plan.

    Several treatments may be needed. This will be discussed at your personalized treatment consultation.

    Can DE|RIVE treat all hair loss conditions?

    Unfortunately, no, all hair loss conditions are not correctable. While DE|RIVE and PRP can help support scalp health and new growth, it cannot do so for all conditions. Individuals who have experienced types of scarring hair loss, or hair loss for 10 years or more, are unlikely to have results with treatments and may require surgical intervention to restore growth.

  • Botox is the original neuromodulator and benchmark every neuromodulator is compared to. It’s proven, versatile, and trusted by millions, with both cosmetic and medical benefits.

    With Botox’s impressive track record and Daxxify’s promising innovation, it’s clear there’s no shortage of ways to smooth lines and refresh your look.

    But Botox and Daxxify aren’t the only players in the game. The world of neuromodulators includes several other contenders, like Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau .

    You might wonder: Aren’t these all the same thing?

    Not exactly. They all belong to the neuromodulator family — injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to smooth wrinkles — but each has its own personality, advantages, and quirks.

    Botox and most neuromodulators are made using human serum albumin. Daxxify skips that entirely and uses a unique peptide-based formula (basically a chain of amino acids). This isn’t just a science flex — it’s one of the reasons your results stick around for months.

    Think of your favorite results from Botox… now imagine them lasting up to twice as long.

    Daxxify went through years of clinical trials — over 2,700 people and 4,200 treatments — and the numbers are hard to ignore:

    • Almost everyone (98%) saw a visible difference in their frown lines within just a month.

    • Half of them were still smooth at the six-month mark.

    • Some reported continued results nine months later.

    Translation: fewer appointments, fewer needles, more time simply loving your skin.

    • In all those trials, no serious treatment-related side effects were reported. The most common? A mild headache (about 6% of patients) or temporary eyelid drooping (just 2%).

    In other words: you can get powerful, long-lasting results without putting your safety on the line.

    • Just like with Botox, proper pre-treatment preparation for Daxxify includes avoiding NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), refraining from exercise for at least 4 hours after your appointment, and avoiding leaning forward or lying down for 2-4 hours post-treatment.

    • Two essential tips for extending the longevity of your Daxxify results are maintaining proper hydration and sun protection. Adequate hydration promotes healthy skin, while shielding your skin from the sun's harmful rays is crucial, as sun damage can compromise the effectiveness of your treatment. Therefore, incorporating sun protection measures into your skincare routine is essential.

    At Renee Marie Aesthetics & Wellness our primary goal is results you will love. We offer Daxxify along with a personalized consultation to find out if you’re a good fit — and see just how far your results can go.

  • This comparison comes up a lot — but Botox and dermal fillers are completely different tools:

    • Botox (and all neuromodulators): Relax muscles to prevent or reduce movement-related wrinkles.

    • Dermal fillers: Add volume to smooth static wrinkles, plump lips, or restore youthful contours.

    Many RMA clients actually combine the two for a full-face refresh — Daxxify for expression lines, and fillers for volume loss.

    Which One Should You Choose?

    There’s no single “best” neuromodulator. The right one depends on:

    • Your treatment area(s).

    • How quickly you want results.

    • How long you want them to last.

    • Your past experience with injectables.

    Bottom Line:

    With so many great options available, the real key is finding the treatment that fits your needs, lifestyle, and expectations.

  • Myth #1: Daxxify Works Instantly

    The truth: Daxxify or any neurotoxin aren’t magic wands you wave over your forehead. They take time to do their job.
    While some patients may notice a slight improvement soon after their treatment, the full effects typically take about three to ten days to become visible, with optimal results often seen after two weeks.

    Myth #2: The Results Are Permanent

    The truth: Daxxify isn’t forever — and that’s a good thing.
    The effects typically last 3–9 months, gradually wearing off as your body metabolizes the product. If you like your results, you’ll simply schedule touch-up appointments to maintain them.

    Myth #3: Daxxify Will Make You Look Frozen

    The truth: Bad toxin looks frozen. Good toxin looks like you — just refreshed.
    When administered by a skilled injector, all neurotoxins soften wrinkles without robbing you of natural facial expressions. Friends might notice you look “well rested,” but they won’t be able to pinpoint why.

    Myth #4: Daxxify is Unsafe Because It’s a Toxin

    The truth: Yes, it is derived from botulinum toxin — the same bacteria linked to food poisoning. But in medical aesthetics, it’s FDA approved for it’s use, and is used in extremely small, highly purified doses.

    Interesting Fact

    • All neurotoxins need proteins to help penetrate targeted muscles and wrinkles, and Botox and Dysport use certain accessory proteins for that job. However, Daxxify is the first neuromodulator to use a unique peptide to make Daxxify longer-lasting.

    • Formulated with peptides and without albumin, makes Daxxify the first and only vegan neurotoxin on the market today.

    Myth #5: Toxin is Only for Women

    The truth: More men are getting treatments than ever before. In fact, they make up nearly 10% of all cosmetic neurotoxin treatments — triple what it was in the late ‘90s.
    Men seek neurotoxin treatments for the same reasons women do: to look younger, more approachable, and more confident.

    Myth #6: Neurotoxin is Addictive

    The truth: Neurotoxin contains no addictive substances. The “addiction” people talk about is really just liking the way they look and wanting to keep it that way.
    When you stop Botox, your wrinkles will simply return to their pre-treatment state — they won’t suddenly get worse.

    Myth #7: Neurotoxin Makes Wrinkles Worse Over Time

    The truth: Neurotoxin doesn’t damage your skin or speed up aging. If anything, by preventing repetitive muscle movements, it slows the development of new lines. Once it wears off, your face just goes back to how it was before you started.

    Myth #8: Neurotoxin Only Works on Existing Wrinkles

    The truth: Neurotoxin is also a powerful preventative treatment. Many people in their 20s are starting Botox early to keep lines from ever forming — a strategy that can delay the need for more invasive treatments later.

    Bottom line: Neurotoxin has earned its place as a safe, effective, and versatile treatment — for both women and men, for both cosmetic and medical purposes. The real secret to getting great results? Choosing an injector who understands facial anatomy and your personal goals.

    Now that you know the facts, the next step is making sure your treatment experience is just as successful as the results you’re aiming for.

  • A little preparation before your appointment can go a long way in maximizing your outcome — and knowing exactly where Neurotoxin works best will help you target the areas that matter most.

    • If you have an event, schedule at least two weeks ahead.

    • Pause blood-thinning supplements/medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil (we’ll guide you on timing) to minimize bruising.

    • Skip skin irritants — avoid waxing, harsh scrubs, or peels for a few days beforehand.

    • Hydrate — healthy, well-hydrated skin recovers better.

    • Work out before, not after — no intense exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.

    • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours to reduce bruising risk.

    • Set realistic expectations — Neurotoxin refreshes and smooths, but it won’t make you look like a completely different person.

    If you’re wondering where Neurotoxin really shines, here are the top treatment areas:

    1. Forehead Lines
      Years of raising eyebrows and everyday expressions make forehead lines one of the first signs of aging. Toxin relaxes these overworked muscles, smoothing lines for up to six months.

    2. Crow’s Feet
      The fine lines fanning out from the corners of your eyes (thanks to smiling and squinting) can be stubborn. Toxin softens them, giving your eyes a fresher, more youthful look.

    3. Frown Lines (“11s”)
      Those vertical lines between your brows can make you look stressed or upset, even when you’re not. Toxin eases the muscle activity that deepens them over time.

    4. Neck Bands
      Sagging platysma muscles can create visible bands down the neck. Targeted Toxin relaxes these muscles for a smoother neckline and subtle lift.

    5. Sagging Brows
      For a gentle brow lift without surgery, Toxin relaxes the muscles that pull brows downward, opening up the eyes and lifting the brow line.

    Pro Tip: Consistency pays off. Regular treatments not only keep lines from deepening but can also prevent new ones from forming, helping you maintain results longer.

    Bottom Line: Preparing well and knowing your treatment options is the secret to getting the most out of your treatment. At RMA, we combine precision technique with personalized care so every session leaves you looking like you — only smoother, fresher, and more confident.

  • Your Daxxify session doesn’t end when you leave the treatment chair — what you do in the hours and days afterward plays a huge role in how your results look and how long they last.
    Follow these expert-backed tips to keep your skin looking smooth, refreshed, and natural for as long as possible.

    The First 24–48 Hours: Protect Your Investment

    1. Skip the Gym (Just for a Day)

    Avoid intense workouts for at least 24 hours — sometimes up to 48 if your provider recommends it. Exercise increases blood flow, which can cause toxin to spread to unintended areas, reducing its effectiveness and increasing bruising risk.
    Gentle facial movements like smiling, frowning, or raising your eyebrows are fine and may even help the product settle faster.

    2. Hands Off the Treated Area

    Rubbing, massaging, or even resting your face in your hands can push the toxin where it doesn’t belong. Keep your hands off for at least 24 hours and skip professional facials or massages for a few days.

    3. Stay Upright

    Avoid bending over or lying flat for the first four hours. This helps the product stay exactly where it was placed.

    4. Hold the Makeup

    Applying makeup can involve rubbing or pressure, which risks shifting the Toxin. Wait at least 24 hours before using cosmetics on treated areas. If you must use makeup, be careful not to rub or apply pressure to the treated areas.

    5. Avoid Heat & Sun Exposure

    Steer clear of tanning beds, saunas, hot tubs, and long sun exposure for the first 24–48 hours. Heat increases circulation, which can shorten the life of your results.

    6. Skip the Cocktails (for Now)

    Alcohol thins the blood, which can increase bruising. It’s best to avoid it for at least 24 hours before and after treatment.

    Aftercare for Better Results in the Weeks Ahead

    • Sleep Smart: For the first night, try not to sleep on the treated side of your face. This prevents pressure from shifting the product while it’s settling.

    • Check Medications some medications and supplements increase bruising risk. Always confirm with your provider when it’s safe to resume them.

    Know What’s Normal — and When to Call

    • Mild redness, swelling, or bruising is common and should fade in a few days (bruising can take up to two weeks). Call your provider immediately if you notice unusual symptoms like muscle weakness, vision changes, or difficulty breathing.

    How to Make Your Toxin Last Longer

    1. Stay on Schedule: Don’t wait until every bit of your Toxin wears off before coming back. Regular treatments every 3–5 months help “train” muscles to stay relaxed, which can make results last longer.

    2. Hydrate and Eat for Skin Health:

      Drink plenty of water and eat a diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and collagen-boosting nutrients. Limit alcohol and sugar, which accelerate skin aging.

    3. Protect Your Skin from the Sun:

      UV exposure breaks down collagen and speeds up the breakdown of Toxin. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and add hats or sunglasses for extra protection.

    4. Minimize Repetitive Facial Movements:

      You don’t need to keep your face expressionless, but avoiding constant squinting, frowning, or eyebrow-raising can help extend your results. Sunglasses and proper lighting can reduce the urge to squint.

    5. Invest in Medical-Grade Skincare:

      Products with retinol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid can boost skin firmness and hydration, complementing your Toxin treatments. We can provide you with a personalized regimen to help you achieve your best results.

    6. Choose the Right Injector:

      Your provider’s expertise affects both the quality and longevity of your results. The right injector knows exactly how much to use, where to place it, and how to balance smoothness with natural movement.

    Bottom Line:

    Great results come from two things — precise injections and smart aftercare.

    At RMA, we guide you through both, so you not only love your results but keep them longer. Smooth, natural, confident — and lasting.

  • We believe long-term skin health requires more than just in-office treatments. We create personalized skincare regimens tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals to help you maintain your results at home.

    We are constantly researching and strive to supply you with the best medical grade (scientifically researched and proven) skincare on the market today.

    One brand we are proud to carry is SkinCeuticals.

    • The brand has laid the groundwork for several innovations in skin care, including the first 100% physical sunscreen and the first patent for a stable form of topical vitamin C. The products are on the cutting edge, backed by both scientific research and dermatologist recommendations.

    • SkinCeuticals products are formulated to work hand in hand with cosmetic procedures. We will recommend product pairings following in-office treatments.

    • The line is safe and effective for all skin tones and types, though you should always be careful when incorporating potent active ingredients into your routine.

    • Reviewers rave about the real, noticeable results they see from SkinCeuticals products.

    One thing we love is that SkinCeuticals has the clinical studies to back up its formulations. For example, since vitamin C serums are notoriously unstable, the research SkinCeuticals has done to perfect its formula offers assurance. “Vitamin C is not very stable when exposed to light and air, so [your serum] may not be as strong as expected,” says Dr. Paul. “There are definite clinical benefits to vitamin C if it can be stabilized, but some products are better than others.” It can be a waste of money to buy one that goes bad quickly and isn’t as effective. 


    Bottom line is not all products are created equally; we are happy to help you find the right brand for you!

    We also carry Colorescience, a decision driven by a combination of scientific backing, dermatologist recommendations, and the brand's commitment to creating products that protect and enhance skin health.

    • Skin-Enhancing Ingredients: Colorescience products are packed with skin-enhancing ingredients like antioxidants, peptides, and nourishing vitamins, which not only protect but also improve skin health and appearance.

    • Convenience and Portability: Colorescience offers products like the Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50, which is easy to apply over makeup or on bare skin, making it a convenient option for active lifestyles.

  • 1. What exactly is NOUVADerm™?

    NOUVADerm™ is a next-generation laser treatment that helps improve the appearance of your skin by encouraging it to naturally resurface and renew. It works by gently stimulating your skin’s repair process from within — targeting issues like pigmentation, fine lines, scarring, and uneven tone — without damaging the surface.

    The result? Skin that looks refreshed, radiant, and rejuvenated with minimal downtime.

    2. What skin concerns can it help with?

    NOUVADerm™ is versatile and effective. Here’s what it’s commonly used for:

    • Fine lines and wrinkles

    • Dark spots and pigmentation

    • Sun damage

    • Melasma

    • Acne scars and uneven texture

    • Redness and visible capillaries

    • Overall skin dullness or tone irregularities

    Even if you’re not battling a specific concern, many patients choose NOUVADerm™ simply to maintain glowing, youthful skin.

    3. Is it safe for all skin types?

    This is one of the most important questions — and the short answer is: yes, when done properly.

    At RMA, we’ve invested in advanced training to ensure safe, effective treatments for a wide range of skin tones and types. However, not every spa or practice is qualified to offer NOUVADerm™, and that’s worth paying attention to.

    When this device is used incorrectly, it can cause damage, including burns, scarring, or unwanted pigmentation changes. That’s why experience, training, and skin health knowledge are absolutely non-negotiable when choosing where to get your treatment.

    4. Does it hurt? What does it feel like?

    This is a big one — and we get it. Nobody wants to sign up for discomfort.

    Most patients describe the treatment as a warm, light snapping sensation — almost like a gentle rubber band tap. It’s not entirely painless, but it’s very tolerable. We provide you with a numbing cream We also utilize ultrasound to improve numbing, and exosomes to improve overall results, and reduce your downtime, making your NOUVADerm™ treatment even more comfortable.

    5. How long does a treatment take?

    You’re busy, and we love that NOUVADerm™ respects your time. Most sessions last 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area we’re treating.

    It’s efficient enough to squeeze into a lunch break, but powerful enough to deliver real, visible change.

    6. What should I expect afterward? Is there downtime?

    Downtime really depends on the level of treatment you receive.

    For a lighter, more superficial session, you may just experience some mild redness or tightness — like a slight sunburn — and many patients feel totally fine returning to work or errands the same day.

    But if you opt for a more advanced treatment, you’ll likely want to take the rest of the day to rest and recover at home. That’s because the deeper treatments can trigger something called MENDS (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) — which sounds intense, but it’s simply the body’s way of gently releasing damaged skin cells. These small, dark specks will rise to the surface and flake off gradually over several days, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath.

    We’ll always let you know exactly what to expect based on the strength of your treatment and help you plan accordingly — whether that’s a weekend refresh or a deeper skin reset.

    7. How many treatments will I need?

    This depends on your skin goals and where you’re starting from.

    Some people are thrilled with their results after just one session. Others choose to do a series of 2-4 treatments spaced out over several weeks for deeper or more long-standing concerns.

    During your consultation we’ll help build a personalized plan just for you — one that balances your time, budget, and desired outcomes.

    8. Are there risks or side effects I should know about?

    Like any device-based treatment, there are risks, but they are extremely rare when you’re in the right hands.

    The most common side effects are mild and temporary: redness, slight swelling, or sensitivity for 1-2 days.

    That said, when NOUVADerm™ is used by someone without proper training or skin knowledge, it can lead to more serious complications like burns, hyperpigmentation, or scarring. And that’s why we can’t emphasize this enough: where you go matters.

    9. Can I combine NOUVADerm™ with other treatments?

    Absolutely! In fact, pairing NOUVADerm™ with other skin treatments (like facials, microneedling, or medical-grade skincare) can enhance your results even more.

    However, this depends on your skin’s sensitivity, your goals, and the timing. We’ll never overdo it or recommend unnecessary combos. Your skin tells us what it needs — we just listen and support it.

    10. What are the pre- and post-care procedures for this type of skin treatment?

    Great question — and such an important part of seeing the best results from your NOUVADerm™ experience.

    Before your treatment:

    • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 1–2 weeks prior. We want your skin calm and protected heading into your session.

    • Pause harsh skincare products, like retinoids or exfoliants, about 3–5 days before treatment (we’ll let you know exactly what to skip).

    • Stay hydrated and arrive with clean skin — no makeup or lotions on the day of your appointment.

    We may do a quick skin prep depending on your sensitivity level.

    After your treatment:

    • You might feel slightly warm or pink, like a mild sunburn — totally normal and temporary.

    • Use gentle, hydrating products (we’ll recommend our favorites) and skip makeup for 24 hours to let your skin breathe.

    • Avoid intense workouts, hot showers, or saunas for 24–48 hours.

    • Most importantly? Wear sunscreen every day, even when it’s cloudy. Your fresh skin needs protection!

    Our team will give you a customized aftercare plan, walk you through it step-by-step, and stay in touch to make sure your skin is healing beautifully.

    It’s More Than a Machine — It’s the Hands That Use It

    Technology like NOUVADerm™ is powerful — but only when operated by people who understand skin, safety, and personalized care.

    At RMA, we value our patients’ trust and we listen first, treat second. Every treatment plan is thoughtfully created by our skilled provider who received advanced training in laser therapies like NOUVADerm™.

    We don’t follow trends. We follow your skin’s truth — and that’s where the real transformation happens.

  • 1. What is Scarlet RF and how does it work?

    At its core, Scarlet RF uses radiofrequency technology combined with microneedling to rejuvenate the skin. This powerful combination works to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother skin. The treatment utilizes micro-needle electrodes to deliver radiofrequency energy directly to the dermal layers, promoting the regeneration of collagen and elastin fibers. The process leads to improved texture and elasticity, making it an effective option for individuals seeking to enhance their skin’s overall appearance.

  • Skin changes over time fine lines deepen, tone becomes uneven, and elasticity gradually fades. For many, these changes happen sooner than expected due to lifestyle factors, sun exposure, or genetics. While there are countless treatments promising younger, healthier skin, few match the natural appeal and proven benefits of PRP therapy, often called a PRP facial rejuvenation treatment.

    What is PRP Therapy?

    PRP therapy stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It’s a component of your blood that’s rich in growth factors proteins that signal your body to heal, regenerate tissue, and produce new collagen. This is why it’s often referred to as a natural collagen stimulation treatment.

    Here’s how the process works:

    • Blood Draw – A small sample of your blood is taken, much like a standard lab test.

    • Centrifuge Separation – The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it to separate the PRP from red and white blood cells.

    • Injection or topical application into Target Areas – The concentrated PRP is carefully injected or applied topically into areas of the face where rejuvenation is desired, stimulating repair and regeneration at the cellular level.

    While some PRP skin treatments involves pairing the plasma with microneedling, we also use precise injection techniques, ensuring the PRP is placed exactly where it can deliver the most benefit.

    Why PRP Therapy Is Considered Natural

    Many skin treatments involve introducing foreign substances or synthetic fillers. PRP therapy is different because it uses only your own blood, making it biocompatible and reducing the risk of allergic reactions or sensitivities.

    Your body recognizes its own plasma and responds by ramping up natural healing processes meaning results develop gradually and look authentic, not overdone. This makes PRP therapy ideal for anyone seeking a subtle, natural skin rejuvenation without the obvious signs of cosmetic work, including those seeking an anti-aging facial with PRP.

    PRP Facials vs. Other Skin Rejuvenation Options

    PRP facial rejuvenation stands out for several reasons:

    • Collagen Boost from Within – While treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing target the outer layers of skin, PRP injections stimulate collagen production deep within the dermis.

    • Minimal Downtime – Most clients can resume regular activities within a day, making it a convenient option for busy schedules.

    • Suitable for Most Skin Types – Because it’s derived from your own body, PRP can be used on a wide range of skin tones and conditions.

    • Natural-Looking Results – Gradual improvement means you look refreshed rather than drastically altered overnight.

    Benefits of PRP Therapy for the Skin

    • The growth factors in PRP therapy work like messengers, telling your skin to repair itself and generate new tissue. This leads to multiple visible improvements, including:

      • Smoother texture and refined pores

      • Reduction in fine lines and early wrinkles

      • Brighter, more even skin tone

      • Enhanced firmness and elasticity

      • Diminished appearance of acne scars with PRP skin treatment for acne scars

      • Subtle restoration of volume in delicate areas

    Because collagen and elastin production is a gradual process, you may notice improvements starting within the first few weeks, with optimal results developing over several months.

    What to Expect During Your PRP Facial Appointment?

    The appointment typically includes:

    • Consultation & Skin Assessment – We review your goals, skin condition, and suitability for PRP facial rejuvenation.

    • Blood Collection & Processing – A small blood sample is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.

    • Targeted Injections – Using fine needles, PRP is injected into areas that can benefit from renewal such as the cheeks, under the eyes, around the mouth, or along the jawline.

    • Aftercare Guidance – You’ll receive instructions to support healing and enhance results, such as avoiding intense sun exposure and following gentle skincare routines.

    Most clients report only mild discomfort, as the process is quick and numbing options are available.

    Recovery and Results

    PRP therapy has a relatively short recovery time. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising at injection sites, but these effects typically fade within a day or two.

    Over the following weeks, your skin will start producing fresh collagen and elastin, leading to:

    Week 1-3: Initial improvement in skin hydration and tone

    Month 1-3: Noticeable softening of fine lines and overall skin glow

    Month 3-6: More significant improvements in firmness, elasticity, and scar visibility

    For many clients, a series of sessions produces the most dramatic and lasting results whether for anti-aging facial with PRP or PRP skin treatment for acne scars.

    Is PRP Therapy Safe?

    When performed by licensed professionals using sterile techniques, PRP therapy is considered very safe. Because it uses your own plasma, the risk of allergic reactions is extremely low. The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites.

    The key to safety lies in choosing a trusted provider.

    Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP Facials?

    PRP therapy is suitable for many individuals who want to improve their skin’s tone, texture, and firmness. You may be an ideal candidate if you:

    • Have early signs of aging such as fine lines or mild skin laxity.

    • Want a natural, non-surgical option for rejuvenation.

    • Prefer gradual, subtle improvements rather than dramatic changes.

    • Are looking to minimize acne scars with PRP skin treatment for acne scars.

    • Have realistic expectations about results and understand they develop over time
