We offer quality beauty services
What is a registered aesthetic nurse?
A registered aesthetic nurse is a licensed registered nurse with specialized training in medical aesthetics and cosmetic procedures. Nurse Cathy has over 20 years of experience and is dedicated to providing safe, professional aesthetic treatments focused on natural-looking results.
Is my consultation private and confidential?
Yes. All consultations and treatments are completely confidential and conducted in a private boutique setting. Your privacy and comfort are our top priorities.
What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to smooth lines and wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting and creating wrinkles. Results appear gradually over 3-7 days and create a natural, refreshed appearance.
How long do Botox results last?
Botox results typically last 3-4 months. Some clients enjoy results for up to 6 months. The longevity of your results depends on factors like muscle strength, metabolism, and treatment area. Regular maintenance treatments help maintain consistent results.
Is Botox safe?
Yes! When administered by a qualified healthcare professional like Nurse Cathy Douglas, Botox is very safe. With over 20 years of experience in aesthetic medicine and advanced training, we follow strict safety protocols to ensure optimal results and your well-being.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-based treatments that restore volume, enhance contours, and smooth lines. They work by adding subtle volume beneath the skin to lift, sculpt, and create natural-looking results. Our fillers are safe, FDA-approved products designed to enhance your natural beauty.
What areas can be treated with fillers?
Fillers can enhance cheeks, lips, jawlines, temples, under-eyes, and nasolabial folds. We use them to restore volume, lift sagging areas, define contours, and create beautiful facial balance. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which areas will best achieve your aesthetic goals.
How long do fillers last?
- Filler results typically last 6-18 months depending on the product used, treatment area, and your individual metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers gradually dissolve naturally over time. We’ll recommend a maintenance schedule during your consultation to keep your results looking their best.
What is the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox relaxes muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, while fillers add volume to restore fullness and contour. Botox treats forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Fillers enhance lips, cheeks, and fill static wrinkles. Many clients benefit from combining both treatments.
What skincare products do you recommend?
We offer carefully curated professional-grade skincare products that are specifically chosen to complement and enhance your treatment results. These medical-grade products are available for purchase to maintain your beautiful results at home.
What about bruising and swelling?
Some mild bruising and swelling are normal after filler injection. This typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Arnica may help reduce bruising.
Can I combine fillers with other treatments?
Absolutely! Many clients combine fillers with Botox, skin treatments, or other services for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
PRP is derived from your own blood and contains growth factors that stimulate collagen production and skin rejuvenation. It’s a natural approach to improving skin texture and appearance.
How is PRP different from PRF?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is an advanced version of PRP with higher concentrations of growth factors. It typically produces longer-lasting results and may be more effective for some clients.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid injectable that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Results develop gradually over weeks and months, providing natural-looking volume restoration.
How many PRP/Sculptra treatments do I need?
Most clients require a series of treatments. A typical protocol is 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Results improve over time and can last 1-2 years.
Is PRP safe?
Yes, PRP is very safe since it uses your own blood. There’s no risk of allergic reaction. Minimal downtime is expected.
What skin treatments do you offer?
We offer chemical peels, microneedling, IPL photofacial, laser therapy, and professional facials. Each addresses different skin concerns like aging, texture, sun damage, and discoloration.
What's the difference between a chemical peel and microneedling?
Chemical peels use acid to exfoliate the skin surface. Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen. Both improve skin texture but work differently.
How many treatments do I need?
This depends on your skin concerns. A series of 3-6 treatments is typical for optimal results. Nurse Cathy will recommend a customized plan during your consultation.
What's downtime like?
Downtime varies. Chemical peels may involve redness and peeling for 3-7 days. Microneedling typically has mild redness for 24-48 hours. IPL may have slight redness for a few hours.
Can I get a skin treatment before an event?
Yes, but timing matters. Gentler treatments like facials have minimal downtime. Peels and microneedling are best done 1-2 weeks before an event to allow skin to fully recover.
Do you offer IV therapy and vitamin injections?
Yes. We offer B12 injections, IV therapy for energy and hydration support, and weight-management consultations. These complement aesthetic treatments for overall wellness.
How often should I get B12 injections?
Frequency depends on individual needs and deficiency levels. Most clients get injections monthly or every 6-8 weeks. Your healthcare provider can recommend the best schedule.
Is IV therapy safe?
Yes, IV therapy is safe when administered by a qualified nurse. We use sterile equipment and customized formulations based on your needs.
