The duration of results from treatments depending on the specific cosmetic procedure, your individual metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the area treated. During your consultation, we'll discuss the expected longevity of your specific treatments.

General guidelines for treatment longevity:

• Some procedures for reducing dynamic wrinkles typically last around 3 months initially, with longer durations possible after regular treatments
• Procedures that address facial volume loss may last 6-18 months depending on the product used and treatment area
• Skin rejuvenation treatments often require maintenance sessions to sustain optimal results
• Results can be prolonged with proper skincare, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle

We typically recommend follow-up treatments at appropriate intervals to maintain your results. During your consultation, we'll develop a treatment plan that includes recommendations for timing of maintenance treatments based on your specific procedures and goals.
