 F.A.Q.

Whats the difference between a Botox injectable and a Radiesse type injectable?

Botox actually relaxes the muscles in target areas on the face, allowing untreated muscles to tighten slightly and smooth out the wrinkled area. Radiess and Juviderm act as a filler, supporting the skin from underneath, typically lasting from three to four times longer than Botox.

Will I be able to have expressions after a Botox treatment?

Yes. Only the necessary minimum amount of Botox is used during a procedure, which only relaxes the facial muscles, still allowing you to make full expressions.

Do you provide collagen injections?

No. Dr. Dando typically does not inject collagen because of the ability of his lasers to stimulate the skin into producing collagen of it’s own. This naturally formed collagen gives the skin a “full” “tightened” look and feel that can be noticed many times even after one treatment.

Will I have loose skin after receiving a Smart Lipo procedure?

No. Quite the opposite. The laser that emits from the end of the Smart Lipo follicle stimulates collagen growth from underneath the bottom layers of skin. This leads to a 509%-70% tightening of the skin in most cases that leaves the patient with tighter, more elastic skin than they had pre- procedure.

What is the average down time for Smart Lipo?

Dr. Dando recommends taking at least a day off for the medication to subside. A typical scenario is to have the procedure on a Friday, have the weekend to rest, and be back at work on Monday.

What is better about your Advanced Teeth Whitening Systems than what the Dentist has to offer?

First and foremost, it’s not painful. Typically the most a patient feels during and after the 20min procedure is a slight tingling sensation around the gums. Even patients with sensitive teeth can usually have the procedure done without pain. This is mainly due to how our newer system works; the oxygen permeates the tooth enamel lightening with a gentle stimulation from the LED’s. Generally, the systems that dentists use heat the teeth up causing sometimes agonizing pain and increased sensitivity permanently. Advanced Teeth Whitening Systems GUARANTEES 3-7 shades differences post procedure for our cost of $99, compared to the $400-$500 the dentists may charge. The reason we can offer this at such a low cost is because our new system is so safe, you don’t have to pay to have it administered by a dentist.

How many treatments will I need for Laser Hair Removal?

Usually it’s 4-6, but whatever the Laser Technician recommends is the set amount needed to have full effect on the hair. Sometimes patients will stop visits after three or so sessions because there is no more visible hair. By not finishing the treatment, the hair follicles are not completely subdued and will return a few months later. Therefore it is very important to listen to the Laser Tech and finish all regiments
