A First-Timer's Guide to Aesthetics

Your Guide to Aesthetics

It's completely normal to feel a little intimidated when you're first considering aesthetic treatments! There's a lot of information out there, so it can be hard to know where to start. We believe an informed client is a happy client, so we put together this guide to walk you through what to expect and answer some of the most common questions.

Step 1: The Consultation

Your first visit is one of the most important! Think of it like a chance to meet our experts, share your goals, and ask any questions you may have. We'll listen to your concerns and help you understand which treatments can help you achieve the look you want.

Things to discuss:

  • Your Goals: What do you want to achieve? Are you looking to reduce fine lines, add volume, improve texture, or something else?
  • Your Concerns: Don't be shy! We'll address any worries you may have about the process, the cost, or the end result.
  • Your Timeline: Are you looking for a quick fix or a long-term plan?

Step 2: Understanding Common Treatments

Aesthetic treatments don't have to be complicated. Here's a quick breakdown of some popular options (keep in mind this is a simplified overview, be sure to discuss more in-depth at your appointment!):

  • Botox: This is a popular treatment for relaxing muscles that cause wrinkles. It's commonly used to address frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. 
  • Dermal Fillers: These treatments add subtle volume to areas that have lost it over time. They can be used to plump lips, restore fullness to cheeks, or soften deep folds and wrinkles.
  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): This innovative treatment uses your body's own plasma to stimulate collagen production and cellular growth, improving skin tone and texture. It's an ideal choice for natural rejuvenation.
  • Dermaplaning: A non-injectable option, Dermaplaning is an exfoliating treatment that removes the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) to reveal smoother, brighter skin. It's perfect to help with a flawless makeup application.

Step 3: Addressing Common Concerns

  • Will I look frozen or unnatural?
    • This is a common fear, and we can assure you that a natural, refreshed look is our number one priority. Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty, not replace it. We believe less is more, and we'll work with you to ensure your results are exactly what you want.
  • How do I know what's right for me?
    • You don't have to decide on your own! That's what your consultation is for. Our experts will help you create a personalized plan tailored to your unique goals and facial structure.
  • Is it painful?
    • Some treatments may involve mild discomfort, but it is typically brief and we try to minimize pain as much as possible. Ask your injector about your specific treatment for more information!
