A natural-looking result starts with an informed decision
Botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, PRP and mesotherapy do not have identical purposes and are not interchangeable. The reason for considering a procedure, the product or technique involved and the limits of the expected effect should all be explained.
Non-surgical does not mean risk-free. Possible effects, including bruising, infection and more serious procedure-specific complications, should be discussed. The duration and extent of any result can vary. It is reasonable to take time to decide and to consider having no treatment.
