Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to common concerns. Your treatment plan is always personalized after an in-person consultation.
I feel like I look angry all the time.
Many people feel that they may look angry or that they’re in a state of perpetual concentration. This is typically corrected with a few Botox injections to the brow area and forehead.
I feel like I look tired all the time.
This is often due to dark circles, bags, or hollows under the eyes. A small amount of an appropriate dermal filler can often improve this appearance.
I feel like my face has fallen.
This is often related to loss of collagen and elastin—the support that keeps the face looking full and lifted—so gravity can change how features rest. Botox, dermal fillers alone, or a Vampire Facelift approach may be discussed, depending on your goals and exam.
I feel like my lips are too small and/or are thinning.
With precise placement of a dermal filler, volume can often be restored for a fuller, more balanced lip appearance.
I’m developing puppet lines around my mouth.
A dermal filler can be placed into the smile lines and into the cheeks to help lift and soften those areas—supporting a more youthful, rested look.
How can I soften my skin and reduce the size of my pores?
Microneedling with hydrating serums or a Vampire Facial can improve complexion and tone while helping the skin look smoother and more refined—including the appearance of pore size—so many patients feel they get the “glow” they’re looking for.
I’ve started to develop spider veins on my legs and I’m embarrassed to wear skirts.
A series of injections with Asclera can treat spider veins on the legs. Asclera is an FDA-approved sclerosant used for certain spider veins; candidacy and number of sessions are determined in consultation.
No matter how much I diet and exercise, I can’t get rid of my double chin.
Kybella is a prescription injectable used to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fullness). It works by destroying fat cells in the treated area; your provider will discuss whether you’re a candidate and what to expect.
I don’t feel that my erection is what it once was and my sex life is suffering.
The P-Shot may be discussed for appropriate candidates.
The P-Shot is a Vampire-style procedure for men using PRP, with goals that can include support for erection quality, sensitivity, and other concerns reviewed in a private medical visit.
I am not reaching climax and sex is becoming a chore.
The O-Shot may be discussed for appropriate candidates.
The O-Shot is a Vampire-style procedure for women using PRP, with goals that can include support for orgasm, stress urinary incontinence, and dyspareunia (painful intercourse)—only after consultation and informed consent.
What can I expect after my procedure?
Most commonly there may be mild bruising or swelling for a few days. Special care is taken to limit these issues, but they can still occur. In addition to very fine needles, a soft, flexible blunt-tip cannula is often used when appropriate; it can reduce bruising risk because it is less likely to puncture small vessels under the skin.
If swelling develops, ice packs during the first 48 hours can help. A lower-salt diet and avoiding alcohol can also help minimize swelling. Some patients use Arnica (an over-the-counter supplement) to support recovery from bruising—ask your provider what’s appropriate for you.
