What should I expect during a beauty transformation consultation?

During your consultation, a specialist will assess your needs and goals, discuss the available treatments, and create a personalized plan. They will also review any medical history and answer any questions you may have.

Yes, our treatments are performed by certified professionals using FDA-approved technologies and products. We prioritize your safety and follow strict hygiene protocols.

Results vary depending on the treatment and individual factors. Generally, treatments like Botox and dermal fillers last 3-6 months, while results from body contouring and skin resurfacing can last longer with proper maintenance.

Some treatments may have temporary side effects like redness, swelling, or minor discomfort. These typically resolve within a few days. We will discuss potential side effects and aftercare with you during your consultation.

The number of sessions required depends on the treatment and your individual goals. For example, Botox might require touch-ups every few months, while skin resurfacing might need a series of sessions for optimal results.
