Frequently asked questions

What happens during a video consultation?

We start with a thoughtful conversation about your skin, goals, and lifestyle. Whether you're exploring neurotoxins, dermaplaning, microneedling, or chemical peels, we’ll assess your skin and walk you through options with clarity and care. You’ll leave with a personalized plan—and the confidence to glow your way.

What is a neurotoxin?

Neurotoxins are purified proteins used in aesthetic treatments to temporarily relax targeted muscles. They work by gently blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle movement, helping to soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

When will I see results of Jeuveau or Xeomin?

You’ll start to notice smoother skin within 2 to 5 days, with full results typically visible by day 7 to 10. Each product works a little differently, but all are designed to deliver subtle, natural-looking radiance—without the wait.

How long do results last for Jeuveau or Xeomin?

Most clients enjoy smoother, refreshed skin for about 3 to 6 months after treatment. Results vary slightly by product and individual, but each option offers a subtle, natural-looking glow that fits beautifully into your routine. When it’s time for a touch-up, we’ll be ready to keep your radiance going strong.

What are the difference between brands of toxin?

All FDA-approved neurotoxins used in aesthetic treatments are Botulinum Type A. While they share the same active ingredient, each brand has slight differences in formulation—such as molecule size and dilution—that can affect how it performs for each person. Some individuals respond better to one brand than another, and over time, results may feel slightly different than your first treatment. Your provider will help determine which option is best suited to your goals and treatment history.

How often should I do a microneedle treatment?

For most skin types—including postpartum skin—microneedling works best in a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. This gives your skin time to heal and rebuild collagen naturally. After that, maintenance every few months helps keep your glow going strong. Minor redness for a few days post treatment can be expected.

What is a SkinMedica Chemical Peel?

A SkinMedica peel is a professional treatment that gently exfoliates the outer layers of skin, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. It helps with fine lines, uneven tone, and texture — think of it as a reset ritual for your skin.

How often should I do a chemical peel?

Light peels can be done monthly for maintenance, while deeper peels are spaced every few months. We’ll tailor the timing to your skin’s needs and your glow goals.

How do chemical peels fit into my skincare journey?

Peels accelerate cell renewal, making your skin more receptive to hydration and protection. They’re not just corrective — they’re preventative, helping your skin stay resilient over time.

How often can I dermaplane?

Most clients dermaplane every 4 to 6 weeks to keep skin smooth, radiant, and ready to absorb all the good stuff. It aligns with your skin’s natural renewal cycle—and we’ll always tailor the timing to what your skin truly needs.

Can I combine a chemical peel with dermaplaning?

Yes. Dermaplaning (removing peach fuzz and surface buildup) often enhances the results of a peel, allowing the solution to penetrate more evenly. Together, they create a smoother canvas and radiant glow.

Can I combine a chemical peel with microneedling?

Not in the same session. Both treatments stimulate renewal, but in different ways. Doing them together could overwhelm the skin. Instead, space them apart — your provider will guide you on timing so your skin can fully benefit from each ritual.

Can I combine chemical peels with neurotoxins (Jeuveau or Xeomin)?

Yes, but timing matters. Neurotoxins target muscle movement, while peels focus on skin texture. They can complement each other beautifully, but they’re usually scheduled on different days to ensure comfort and optimal results.

Which treatments should not be mixed?

Avoid layering aggressive resurfacing treatments (like peels + microneedling) in one visit. Your skin thrives when given space to heal and integrate each treatment. Think of it as honoring the rhythm of renewal.
