Frequently asked questions

Botox interferes with the nerve stimulation of the muscle causing excess facial expressions. When the muscle relaxes, the line diminishes. Basically, Botox works by paralyzing the muscles underneath the skin.

Noticeable results should appear around 3 to 5 days. Skin starts to feel tighter; you should see less movement and wrinkling in the injected areas. It can take up to 2 weeks to see the full results. If you have static lines and wrinkles, they may begin to lessen over time and with repeated treatments.

Everyone’s different, but typically results last around 12 weeks. It depends on the treatment area and your aesthetic goals.

Avoid using any creams and make up for at least 6 to 8 hours. You may wash your face with warm water and soap.

Absolutely. Many of our patients come in for Botox, and also have filler done at the same time.

We recommend avoiding neuromodulator treatments during pregnancy and while nursing.

Both are botulinum toxin type A injectables that relax muscles to soften wrinkles. Dysport tends to spread a little more, which can make it efficient for larger areas like the forehead, and many people notice it taking effect slightly faster.

Many people begin to see results within 2 to 3 days, with full results typically developing over about 1 to 2 weeks.

Results generally last around 3 to 4 months, varying based on the treatment area, dosage, and individual factors.

Neither is universally better; they are comparable treatments with subtle differences in onset, spread, and dosing. The best choice depends on the area treated and your response.

Dysport is dosed differently; roughly 2.5 to 3 units of Dysport are often used to achieve an effect similar to 1 unit of Botox. Your provider will calculate the right dose.

Avoid rubbing the treated area, strenuous exercise, and lying down for several hours. Avoiding alcohol and blood thinners around your appointment can reduce bruising.

Letybo is an FDA-approved injectable used to temporarily soften moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.

Results typically last around 3 to 4 months, varying by treatment area, dosage, and individual muscle activity.

Both are botulinum toxin type A products that relax targeted muscles to soften wrinkles. They are made by different manufacturers but work very similarly.

Many people see results within a few days, with full effects developing over about one to two weeks.

Yes. Letybo is FDA approved for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar (frown) lines in adults.

The most common side effects are mild and temporary, such as headache, brow or eyelid drooping, and injection-site reactions.

Myobloc is FDA approved to treat cervical dystonia and chronic sialorrhea (excessive drooling) in adults.

Myobloc is a botulinum toxin type B, while Botox is type A. Type B can help patients who have become less responsive to type A products.

Effects generally last around 12 to 16 weeks, though duration varies by condition and individual response.

Many patients notice an effect within a few days, with results developing over the following one to two weeks.

Yes. Myobloc is FDA approved for cervical dystonia and for chronic sialorrhea in adults.

Common side effects can include dry mouth, injection-site pain, and difficulty swallowing.

A picosecond laser delivers ultra-fast pulses that shatter unwanted pigment into tiny particles your body clears, while stimulating collagen to improve texture and tone.

Picosecond lasers treat pigment and tattoos with extremely short pulses, often meaning effective results with less heat and typically less downtime than older lasers.

It varies by concern. Pigment and rejuvenation often take a few sessions, while tattoo removal can require several, spaced weeks apart.

Most people describe it as quick snaps against the skin. Comfort measures are available and treatments are generally well tolerated.

Downtime is usually minimal, with temporary redness or mild swelling that typically resolves within a day or two.

Picosecond technology can be used across a range of skin types; your provider customizes settings for the safest, most effective treatment.

A combination of approaches such as picosecond laser, topical brighteners, and strict sun protection often produces the best, most lasting improvement.

Laser can significantly lighten melasma, but because it is influenced by hormones and sun, it can return. Maintenance and daily SPF help control it.

Common triggers include sun exposure, heat, hormonal changes such as pregnancy or birth control, and certain skincare irritants.

Many people see gradual improvement over a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, combined with consistent home care.

Pregnancy-related melasma sometimes fades after hormones stabilize, but most cases benefit from a targeted plan and sun protection.

Yes. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is one of the most important steps for treating and preventing melasma.

Pigmentation is most often caused by sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, and inflammation that stimulate excess melanin.

Options include laser, topical brighteners, chemical peels, and sun protection. A combination approach usually works best.

Laser can dramatically reduce existing pigment, but new spots can form with sun exposure, so ongoing protection and maintenance are recommended.

Most people need a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the depth and extent of the pigment.

When performed by a trained provider with settings matched to your skin type, laser pigment treatments are considered safe and effective.

Downtime is typically minimal; spots may darken briefly before flaking away, with mild redness that resolves quickly.

Laser cannot erase scars completely, but it can significantly soften their appearance by stimulating collagen and smoothing texture over a series of treatments.

It depends on scar type. Laser resurfacing, microneedling, and collagen-stimulating treatments are among the most effective, often combined.

Most people benefit from a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, with gradual improvement as collagen rebuilds.

Certain laser and light treatments can help reduce active breakouts and inflammation, though a tailored plan is best for ongoing acne.

Most patients tolerate it well; the sensation is often described as quick snaps, and comfort measures are available.

Because the treatment stimulates your own collagen, improvements are long-lasting, though good skincare helps preserve results.

Most tattoos require multiple sessions, often 5 to 10 or more, depending on size, ink colors, age, and depth.

Many people compare it to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Numbing and cooling options keep you comfortable.

Picosecond lasers address a wide range of colors. Dark inks like black respond fastest, while some lighter colors may take more sessions.

Sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart to let your body clear the fragmented ink and allow skin to heal.

When performed correctly with proper aftercare, scarring is uncommon. Following post-treatment instructions helps protect the skin.

Yes, when performed by a trained provider using appropriate settings for your skin and tattoo.

Microneedling creates tiny micro-channels that stimulate collagen and elastin, helping improve texture, fine lines, acne scars, pores, and tone.

Most people see best results with about 3 treatments spaced roughly 4 to 6 weeks apart, with maintenance as needed.

A numbing cream is applied beforehand, so most people feel only mild pressure or vibration.

You may have redness similar to a mild sunburn for 1 to 3 days. Most people return to normal activities quickly.

Some glow appears within days, but collagen-driven improvements build over several weeks to months.

It may not be recommended with active acne breakouts, certain skin infections, or during pregnancy. A consultation confirms suitability.

Pairing microneedling with stem cell growth factors can amplify collagen production, support faster healing, and enhance texture, tone, and radiance.

It uses the same micro-channeling but adds a stem cell-derived growth factor serum to drive regenerative ingredients deeper into the skin.

A series of about 3 treatments spaced several weeks apart is common, depending on your goals and skin condition.

When performed by a trained provider, it is considered safe. Your provider reviews your history to confirm candidacy.

Expect mild redness for 1 to 3 days, similar to standard microneedling, followed by gradual improvement.

Initial radiance may appear within days, while collagen-related results develop over several weeks.

It combines micro-channeling with radiofrequency heat to stimulate deep collagen, tighten skin, and improve texture, pores, and scarring.

Standard microneedling relies on micro-injuries alone, while RF adds radiofrequency energy for greater tightening and deeper collagen remodeling.

Most people benefit from about 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart, with results that build over time.

Numbing cream is applied first, so most patients feel only mild heat or pressure.

Expect redness and possible mild swelling for a day or two; most people resume normal activities quickly.

Some tightening is noticeable early, but the most significant results appear gradually over a few months.

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin and fine peach fuzz using a sterile blade, leaving skin smoother and brighter.

No. It removes fine vellus hair, which grows back at the same texture. It does not change hair thickness or color.

Many people schedule it about every 3 to 4 weeks, aligning with the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle.

There is essentially no downtime. Skin may be slightly pink briefly, and sun protection is recommended.

Yes. It is often paired with facials or peels to enhance product absorption and results.

Those with active acne, certain skin conditions, or very sensitive skin may want alternatives. A consultation confirms suitability.

It delivers fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins directly into the bloodstream to quickly rehydrate and help your body recover from travel.

Many travelers find IV hydration helps reduce fatigue, grogginess, and dehydration from long flights and time-zone changes.

A typical IV treatment takes about 30 to 60 minutes.

Many people schedule a drip shortly before or after a long flight to help their body adjust.

When administered by trained medical staff, IV therapy is considered safe after a brief health review.

Frequency depends on your needs and goals; your provider can recommend a schedule.

A libido-support IV drip combines hydration with vitamins and nutrients intended to support energy, circulation, and overall vitality.

IV hydration with targeted nutrients can help combat fatigue and support wellness, which many find beneficial for vitality.

Most IV treatments take about 30 to 60 minutes in a comfortable setting.

Most involve a quick intramuscular injection with only minor, brief discomfort.

Many people feel effects such as increased energy within a day or two, though this varies.

When administered by trained medical staff after a brief health review, they are considered safe for most people.

Memberships typically involve a recurring fee in exchange for member pricing, perks, and sometimes banked treatments or credits.

If you receive treatments regularly, a membership can offer meaningful savings and added perks compared to paying per visit.

Membership terms vary; our team will walk you through the details, including any commitment period, before you enroll.

Rollover policies depend on the specific membership. Ask our team which plan best fits how often you visit.

Sharing policies vary by plan; our team can explain which memberships allow shared or transferable benefits.

You can enroll in person or by contacting our team, who will help you choose the right plan.

You’ll start to see results almost immediately, and can expect to see full results in about 2 weeks.

Everyone’s different, but typically results last anywhere from 6-18 months. It really depends on the filler we use and your aesthetic goals.

One of the things that makes dermal fillers so great is there’s little downtime. There’s no reason you can’t go back to work afterwards, although keep in mind that you may experience some redness, swelling or bruising.

We use a topical anesthetic before making injections to help minimize any discomfort during the treatment. We also use an icepak before and after. You can also take Tylenol before and after to help reduce any pain. You may experience bruising and swelling, which can take 1-2 weeks to go away. Therefore, we don’t recommend scheduling your appointment right before a big event.

We recommend avoiding dermal filler treatments during pregnancy or while nursing.

After your treatment: no exercise/working out for 24 hours; no facials for 2 weeks. Try not to touch the area excessively for the first 24 hours, except to apply arnica gel. And you may want to avoid salty foods and alcoholic beverages as they can contribute to swelling.

The fillers we carry are all hyaluronic acid based and can be easily dissolved with hyaluronidase.

Sculptra is injected into the skin to diminish facial wrinkles. It contains PLLA, which acts as a collagen stimulator, helping to gradually restore fullness to facial wrinkles and folds. This results in a softer and more youthful appearance.

Sculptra usually requires at least three treatments administed a month apart. It comes in vials, and the number of vials needed varies by each individual patient.

Noticeable changes from Sculptra are very gradual. Most patients report that they look the same a few days after treatment (which is normal and temporary). Because changes take place over time, you’ll see subtle yet noticeable results in the reduction of facial wrinkles and folds by comparing images before treatment and a few weeks following your final treatment. The results are natural and lasts for 2-5 years.

Kybella is an injected, prescription medicine that is approved by the FDA for fat reduction in the submental area. Kybella breaks down stubborn fat deposits in the neck area that cause the appearance of a double chin. While only indicated for injection under the chin, some patients have seen successful fat reduction after Kybella injections in the stomach, back rolls, and above the knees and elbows.

Kybella’s active ingredient is a substance called deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the chin, it permanently destroys the fat cells. This causes the area to look noticeably slimmer in the weeks and months following treatment. Reducing fat under the chin also helps define the jawline and the transition between the chin and the neck, giving it a more elegant contour.

Ideal candidates for Kybella are individuals who have submental fullness, are 18 years of age or older, wish to avoid surgery or lengthy recovery, and are in good overall health. Our medical team will evaluate your anatomy and determine if you are a good candidate for Kybella.

Each Kybella treatment takes 15-20 minutes, and it is admnistered in a series of small injections directly into the submental area.

Most people need 2-4 treatments spaced at least 1 month apart. Larger double chins require more treatments while smaller double chine require less. Up to 6 treatments may be performed.

Once the desired result is achieved, results are permanent, as the fat cells have been destroyed. However, results may be affected by weight gain and natural aging.

Though Kybella is non-surgical, some common side effects include pain, swelling, bruising, redness, and numbness, which should reside in 1-2 weeks. Rarely, more serious side effects can occur including nerve injury in the jaw and trouble swallowing.

HydraFacial uses a unique, patented Vortex-Fusion delivery system to exfoliate, extract and hydrate skin, and, the spiral design delivers painless extractions.

The spiral design of HydroPeel® Tips, used in conjunction with the HydraFacial proprietary vacuum technology and serums, creates a vortex effect to easily dislodge and remove impurities while simultaneously delivering hydrating skin solutions.

The ideal candidate for Hydrafacial has fine lines, minor skin discolorations, and is looking to rejuvenate the skin. Most people are candidates for HydraFacial as it is designed for all skin types. Even the most sensitive skin easily tolerates the HydraFacial treatment.

HydraFacial is a fast, efficient treatment that takes as little as 30 minutes. You may put on makeup and return to your normal activities right after the treatment since there is no downtime.

Many clients report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last a week or even longer. One treatment per month is recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, oily and congested skin. Continued HydraFacial treatments are highly recommended to maintain skin health results.

Microneedling with PRP is the recommended method of administering PRP to the skin. Microneedling is performed using an electric medical-grade pen. The pen houses 12 fine needles which create fine microchannels in the skin. These channels reach safely and effectively to the deep dermal layers.

Once microneedling has been performed, the PRP is applied to your skin. The PRP will follow the microchannels created by the microneedling and soak into the deep dermis. The PRP will get to work right away to promote cell growth and speed up the rate and quality of your renewal.

Microneedling by itself makes a beautiful improvement in the look and health of the skin, but adding PRP will optimize your microneedling results to achieve a more dramatic improvement in skin volume and clarity.

Microneedling with PRP application will stimulate the healthy function of your skin. The microchannels create “mini wounds” in the skin, which will promote the renewal of damaged, scarred skin. The growth factors in the platelet proteins will engage with the deep dermis on a cellular level. This promotes better renewal and produces a greater amount of collagen growth than microneedling alone. The growth factors will also improve the speed of cell turnover. Skin becomes much fuller, filling in fine lines and wrinkles.

The PRP will facilitate new skin cell production that will slowly replace damaged, scarred skin. Skin will become smoother and more even-toned. Subsequent PRP applications will continue to improve the appearance of acne scars and discolorations until the skin finally is smooth and clear. Most patients see their best results within three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart.

Patients see their best skin after three PRP applications. We recommend spacing each session at least four to six weeks apart. To keep skin glowing and looking its best, we recommend repeating one PRP application every six months.

Microneedling with PRP is ideal for someone that wishes to improve the appearance of skin imperfections such as fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, scarring, and uneven skin tone and texture.

Microneedling with PRP is not recommended for those who have used Accutane within six months, have open wounds or a skin infection, have had radiation treatment within the last year, are pregnant, or have a history of keloid scars.

For at least 3 days post treatment, do not use any alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acid, retinol products, or vitamin C based skincare. Avoid direct sun exposure for 1 week. Do not go swimming or wash face for 24 hours after your microneedling with PRP procedure. Avoid exercising and strenuous activity for the first 24 hours following treatment.

Microneedling with PRP is generally well tolerated but redness may be seen after treatment, lasting for 2-3 days. Skin may also feel warm, tight and itchy after treatment however this normally resolves in 12-48 hours. Sun protection is advised for a week and local antibiotic creams may be prescribed to help prevent a bacterial infection. PRP itself has no negative effects since it is a natural product created from your own body.

A single peel will add a healthy glow, improving skin tone, texture and clarity. It reduces or eliminates hyperpigmentation, sunspots and softens fine lines and wrinkles. The number of treatments varies by individual needs and conditions and will be determined by our medical aesthetician. For extremely damaged skin, the VI peel can be done once a month for quicker results. For most patients 2-3 VI peels a year is all you need to maintain your results. Maintaining a proper skin care regime between peels will ensure the best duration of your results.

Your skin will look slightly tan or bronzed immediately after the peel due to the retinoic acid. This fades within the hour. Over the next few days your skin will feel tighter, any pigmented areas may appear slightly darker at first. Skin peeling usually begins by day 3, it’s a light fluffy peeling and is easily controlled with moisturizer. In some cases the peel is virtually invisible. Patients on Retin-A may experience heavier peeling. By day 6 or 7 you will be done peeling and your skin will look amazing.

Not really. Patients will feel a slight stinging sensation for a few seconds which subsides completely almost immediately. The peel is applied topically, numbing of the skin takes place after the first pass. Some patients may feel more comfortable using a fan or cold air breeze.

We recommend avoiding heavy sweating for the first few days after the peel. Normal activities may be resumed immediately after the peel. Its advisable to keep sun exposure to a minimum when skin is peeling. SPF is a required daily.

You can wear makeup after the skin has completed the peeling process. During the peeling process, only moisturizer is advised.

A medical facial follows the same general steps as a classic spa facial, including cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. The primary difference between these two treatments is that medical facials are performed in a physician’s office using medical-grade products and tools. Since medical facials are performed within a physician’s office, the skincare professional administering the treatment is able to affect the skin at a deeper level. For example, a low concentration chemical peel may be used during a classic spa facial, whereas high-concentration, unbuffered acids can be used during a medical facial. Medical facials are highly customizable and can be tailored to your specific skin needs and concerns. Additional treatment add-ons such a dermaplaning may be incorporated to physically exfoliate the top layer of the skin and enhance the absorption of the chemical peel solution. Medical facials are also an effective complement to in-office treatments such as dermal fillers and laser skin resurfacing.

Since medical facials are highly customizable, they can effectively address a wide spectrum of skin concerns, making them appropriate for nearly everyone. Your skincare professional will work with you to understand your specific skin needs and will recommend a customized medical facial treatment plan.

When and how often to get a medical facial depends on a variety of factors including skin concerns, desired outcome, and the type of treatment performed. If you are looking to improve chronic acne, you may benefit from a series of medical facials spaced 4-6 weeks apart. If you are seeking quick skin rejuvenation to improve radiance prior to a big event, you may benefit from a single medical facial. However, the results are generally more pronounced after a series of treatments. Since these facial treatments leverage medical-grade products and tools, it is recommended that they are performed during periods when sun exposure will be limited. This does not necessarily eliminate the summer months, but it is important to be very diligent about sun protection.

If you are self-conscious about having an overly square jaw, masseter muscle Botox may be a potential treatment to narrow your jawline and produce a more v-shaped lower face. Additionally, teeth grinding, and jaw clenching will also be reduced.

You can expect to see results in 2 weeks, with full results being noticeable within 4 weeks.

We recommend every 3-4 months for most people, however over time with regular treatments, you’ll find that you can go longer between treatments before needing more.

When done by properly trained and experienced medical practitioners, botox should not affect your smile. Our board-certified doctors are highly experienced in correct botox dosage and placement in the correct muscle. They have successfully performed numerous masseter botox procedures on patients not only south Florida, but from all over the United States and the world.

Hyperhidrosis is defined as severe or excessive sweating that normally occurs in the armpits or on the palms. Botox works by blocking nerve impulses that stimulate eccrine gland production. Botox prevents these glands from producing sweat.

You will be able to resume your normal activity immediately after receiving your injections of Botox. However, vigorous rubbing of the area should be avoided for at least 48 hours after treatment. You should also avoid exercise for 24 hours after treatment.

Effects of Botox for excessive sweating are usually noticeable within the first week following treatment, with full results appearing within two weeks.

For most people, the results of Botox can last 6 to 12 months to dramatically reduce or stop sweating in the treatment area. You will need to have the treatment repeated as the effects wear off and normal function returns to the nerves.

Latisse is applied to the base of the upper eyelashes once a day.

As the treatment progresses, you’ll first begin to see changes in length. Then, gradually, you’ll notice more thickness and darkness in your lashes. If you’re satisfied with your results by week 4, don’t stop there. Stick with the treatment. At week 16, you should see full results.

If you stop using Latisse, your lashes gradually lose the extra length, fullness, and darkness provided by the medication until they reach their previous appearance.

The most common side effects after using Latisse are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness, which were reported in approximately 4% of clinical trial patients. Latisse may cause other less common side effects which typically occur close to where Latisse is applied. These include skin darkening, dryness of the eyes, eye irritation, and redness of the eyelids

Latisse is the only FDA-approved product clinically proven to grow lashes longer, fuller, and darker. The active ingredient, bimatoprost, makes lash growth possible. No other product on the market has this active ingredient in it.

Yes, a prescription is necessary for Latisse. A consultation is required to receive a prescription at Neurostrive.

DAXXIFY works by addressing the muscles in the face that cause wrinkles to form. Wrinkles are caused by muscles that make repeated motions. When you frown, smile, yawn, chew, squint in concentration, or make other facial motions, the muscles contract. Over time, these repeated contractions cause wrinkles to form. When DAXXIFY is injected into these muscles, they are forced to relax. The result is smooth, youthful-looking skin. Injections are performed carefully, ensuring the specific muscles that cause muscles are addressed but that you retain the freedom to make facial movements and appear completely natural.

You may see results with DAXXIFY™ as early as the next day after treatment, and typically within two days. You can expect to see the full results within 2 weeks.

Everyone’s different, but typically results last 6-9 months. It depends on the treatment area and your aesthetic goals.

Avoid using any creams and make up for at least 6 to 8 hours. You may wash your face with warm water and soap.

Absolutely. Many of our patients come in for Daxxify, and also have filler done at the same time.

We recommend avoiding neuromodulator treatments during pregnancy and while nursing.

With the advanced technology of the ICON Fractional Laser, treatments can be safely used on most skin types. During your initial consultation, we will assess your skin and goals and determine if the treatment is right for you.

Virtually anywhere on the body can be safely and effectively treated such as: wrinkles and fine lines of the face, neck, and décolletage; acne scars of the face; stretch marks of the breasts, hips, buttocks, and thighs; scars anywhere on the body; skin discoloration of the face and body.

It depends on what you’re getting treated, but we usually recommend 2-5 sessions of ICON laser treatments around 6-8 weeks apart for optimum results. Reducing scar tissue will be on the higher end of treatments needed, while skin rejuvenation and pigmentation will take less treatments. Our medical practitioner will discuss this with you during your initial consultation and help you form a plan.

The discomfort felt during the procedure is typically described by most of our patients as minor. Patients are also welcome to come in a bit early for their appointment to have a prescription topical numbing cream applied to the areas being treated.

Following the procedure most patients experience redness and swelling in treated areas for a few hours. Rarely, this can last as long as 2 days. The areas can be masked with a physician approved foundation 24 hours following the procedure. As your new skin tissue is generated in the treated area you will notice positive changes in your skin that continue to occur for several months following the procedure.

The entire face can be treated in less than 30 minutes.

Immediately after the treatment, your skin will feel warm and may appear sunburned. You may see some redness and swelling which is completely normal.

After a few days, you will notice a more even skin tone, smoother skin texture and healthier looking skin. Over time, collagen will regenerate and restore the supporting structure of your skin providing continued results months after the treatment.

With proper skin care and protection, results can last years.

Since the SmartSkin CO2 laser delivers micro pulses of energy you will experience a significantly shorter recovery time than with fully ablative lasers. Each tiny hole will quickly heal and in a few days you can return to your normal lifestyle. Treatments are adjustable so downtime will depend on the treatment you receive.

Typically, only one treatment is needed for desired results. However, since treatments can be adjusted to your cosmetic and downtime expectations, you can opt for two or three “lighter” sessions.

Although the CO2 laser is ablative, meaning the top layer of the skin is completely resurfaced, scarring should not be a result of the treatment itself when performed properly by a well-trained provider and when pre- and post-care instructions are followed. CO2 laser is intended to help treat existing scarring and wrinkles and improve skin texture.

IPL treatments are quick, easy, and generally pain-free. You may feel a slight tingling sensation as the handpiece is passed over the treatment area. Treatment times with the Photofacial can vary depending on the type and severity of your condition. However, your entire IPL treatment will take between 30 and 60 minutes.

Results from non-invasive IPL treatments are gradual and progressive allowing for a subtle and discrete change. Some pigmented lesions will initially darken and fall off while others simply are reabsorbed into the body fading over time. You may see some improvement as early as 1-week post-treatment with your IPL procedure. Maximum benefits can be seen as collagen and elastin levels are restored over the course of 3-5 months. Many patients require a series of treatments spaced 1-month apart to achieve an optimal outcome. Once you’ve met your initial goals, single maintenance treatment can be done as needed to prolong the effects of your Photofacial series.

While IPL is typically considered a no-downtime procedure, some patients prefer to wait to return to social engagements for up to 1-week as their skin fully heals. However, you are free to get back to your normal routine immediately with several minor restrictions after a Photofacial. A high-quality sunscreen and protective clothing are a must throughout your IPL treatments.

It’s faster, smarter, and a more comfortable technology. Specifically, it features the largest spot size and most uniform beam profile available today, allowing us to quickly treat large areas of unwanted hair – just minutes for back or legs. A sapphire treatment tip with advanced contact cooling helps protect your skin’s epidermis and keeps you comfortable throughout the shorter treatment. A photon recycling and uniform beam profile allows for the most thorough coagulation of hair follicles and this reduces the need for multiple, overlapping passes during your procedure. Finally, it has the only FDA-cleared integrated Skintel melanin reader so we can individualize laser hair removal for your particular hair and skin type.

Our hair grows in phases, and the five million or so hairs of our body are always in one of these three phases. However, they are never all in the same phase at the same time. Laser hair treatment is only able to damage active follicles. Only hair in the anagen phase will be affected by the laser. This means that after a few weeks, other hair follicles on that same part of your body will need to be treated as they also enter the anagen phase and start growing. It’s impossible to say for certain exactly how many treatments it will take to get all the hair, but for most people, 6 treatments is the norm. After each treatment, you’ll notice a difference.

Electrolysis is an older method of hair removal, and it requires a lot more time than a laser treatment. In electrolysis, each individual hair has to be targeted one at a time. Laser hair treatments can target many hairs with just one pulse.

After treatment, you may experience redness or bumpiness in the area for a few days. Ice packs, cool water, aloe vera gel, or plain cortisone cream can soothe it.

Do not wax, pluck, or thread hairs during the few weeks prior to laser hair removal; the laser requires the follicle target to be mature to be effective. You must, however, shave or depilate (depilatory creams include Veet or Nair) the area a day or two prior to laser hair removal, so long hairs above the skin surface do not trap laser heat. Towards the final few treatments, you can allow any last few patches of hair to grow out a bit (a few days) before coming in for treatment, to focus on those areas. In between treatments, feel free to shave or depilate. Wear sunscreen to protect the treated areas. Do not have laser hair removal done if you are already tanned or plan on getting a tan soon after.

IV drip therapy is an effective way to deliver nutrients, vitamins, and medications to the body because this technique bypasses the digestive system. The drip is administered by a registered nurse via a catheter injected directly into the bloodstream, making the nutrients available for immediate use.

Neurostrive’s IV therapy programs are led by our team of medical doctors and administered by trained medical practitioners. Our IV treatment rooms are designed to be relaxing, comfortable, and upscale. Clients who receive our service leave the experience feeling lifted, refreshed and relaxed, which is very different than the experience found in any emergency room.

Each person and protocol varies, but as a general guide, the treatment can last anywhere from 30-60 minutes.

We welcome patients aged 13 and older for select services. Patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, who must provide consent before any treatment. Certain treatments have their own minimum age requirements and are subject to provider evaluation and approval during your consultation. Please note that our website accounts, online forms, and text-messaging program are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older.
