Botox: Subtle Improvements with Maintenance
Botox is often thought of as a one-time fix, but it’s actually part of a longer-term approach to managing muscle movement and maintaining smoother skin.
For most people:
- Initial results appear in 3-5 days, with full effects after 10–14 days.
- Results typically last 3-4 months.
- Regular treatments help train the muscles over time, sometimes requiring less product and less frequent appointments.
Your first year may include 3-4 sessions, after which frequency can be adjusted based on how your muscles respond and how long your results last.
Dermal Fillers: Structure, Contour & Longevity
Dermal Fillers offer volume restoration, contouring, and support to areas such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, and under-eyes. How long they last depends on the product used, the treatment area, and your individual metabolism.
On average:
- Most filler results last between 9 to 18 months.
- Lips and tear troughs may require top-ups sooner (6–9 months).
- Mid-face and jawline fillers often last longer due to deeper placement and less movement.
Many patients benefit from a two-phase approach: an initial session followed by a smaller “refinement” appointment a few weeks later. This ensures balance and precision once swelling subsides.
Polynucleotides: Regeneration with Repetition
Polynucleotide treatments support cell regeneration, collagen synthesis, and tissue repair at a deep level. They’re ideal for people wanting to improve skin quality, reduce inflammation, and stimulate repair processes from within, especially in areas like the under-eyes and cheeks.
Treatment plans typically include:
- An initial course of 3-4 sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart.
- Maintenance every 4-6 months, depending on your skin’s response.
Because results develop gradually as your skin regenerates, consistency is key to seeing the full benefit.
Profhilo: Skin Hydration with a Lift
Profhilo is a skin booster known for its high concentration of hyaluronic acid and its ability to improve hydration, firmness, and elasticity across the face, neck, or hands.
The standard plan includes:
- 2 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart to initiate collagen and elastin production.
- A maintenance session every 4–6 months to sustain results.
Many people notice an improvement in skin “bounce” and brightness after the second session, with further enhancement in the following weeks.
Laser Hair Removal: Long-Term Reduction, Not Overnight Erasure
Laser Hair Removal is one of the most transformative treatments for those seeking smoother, hair-free skin, but it requires commitment and realistic expectations.
Here’s what to expect:
- A course of 6–8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for most areas.
- Maintenance sessions may be needed once or twice a year, depending on hormonal factors and hair growth patterns.
- Results improve with consistency. Skipping sessions can disrupt the hair growth cycle and reduce effectiveness.
At Kaizen Medical, we use the industry-leading Soprano ICE, suitable for a range of skin tones and hair types, ensuring your treatment is as safe and effective as possible.
Morpheus8 Skin Tightening: Gradual Lifting with Long-Term Gains
Morpheus8 is a powerful non-surgical skin tightening treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to remodel deeper layers of the skin and stimulate collagen.
A typical treatment plan includes:
- 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal lifting and tightening.
- Results improve over time, with visible improvements often starting around 4 weeks post-treatment and continuing for several months.
- Maintenance once or twice a year is often recommended.
It’s ideal for addressing sagging, fine lines, and skin laxity on the face, neck, or body, especially when combined with other skin-supportive treatments.
Microneedling: Collagen Building Through Repetition
Microneedling uses controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin, improving texture, scarring, pores, and overall tone.
Your plan may include:
- 3-6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, depending on skin concerns.
- More severe issues (such as acne scarring) may require more sessions.
- Maintenance every few months supports ongoing skin regeneration.
Microneedling is also commonly paired with polynucleotides or skin boosters to amplify results.
