Questions people actually ask.

Yes. Every treatment begins with a thorough consultation and skin assessment. This lets me understand your concerns, review your medical and skin history, and determine whether a treatment is suitable for you. From there, I'll design a plan tailored to your skin, not a fixed package. For some treatments, a patch test may also be recommended before we begin.

Your plan is based on your individual skin assessment, your goals, and what the current evidence supports. Because I work at the intersection of clinical practice and laser-skin research, treatment parameters are chosen with a detailed understanding of how different skin types respond. There's no one-size-fits-all approach here. What I recommend for you is specific to you.

This varies depending on the treatment and the area being treated. Some treatments involve only mild discomfort with little to no downtime, while others may cause temporary redness, swelling or sensitivity as the skin recovers. I'll explain exactly what to expect for your specific treatment during your consultation, along with how to care for your skin afterwards.

This depends on your skin, your concern, and your goals, and it differs from person to person. Rather than promising a set number upfront, I'll give you a realistic outline at your consultation and review your progress as we go, adjusting the plan where needed.

Because every individual's skin responds differently, outcomes vary from person to person and can't be guaranteed. What I can promise is a treatment plan grounded in evidence and careful assessment. Where the science behind a treatment is still emerging, I'll be transparent about that. I'd rather set honest expectations than overpromise.

Preparation depends on the treatment, so I'll give you specific guidance at your consultation. As a general rule, it helps to avoid sun exposure and fake tan to the treatment area beforehand, and to let me know about any medications, skincare actives, or relevant medical history, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, or a history of cold sores, so I can plan your treatment safely.
