Question 1

Do I need Botox? Does anyone?

Accepted Answer

Botox isn’t something you need, it’s a personal choice. Some people use it to soften lines or prevent deeper wrinkles over time. If you’re curious, we can help you decide if it’s right for you, with no pressure either way.

Question 2

How do I know if a mole should be checked?

Accepted Answer

If you notice a mole changing in size, shape, or color, or if it becomes itchy, painful, or bleeds, it is important to have it evaluated. Early detection of skin cancer significantly improves outcomes.

Question 3

Can adult acne be treated successfully?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Adult acne often requires a tailored approach that considers hormonal factors, lifestyle, and skin type. We create personalized treatment plans to address both active breakouts and long-term skin health.

Question 4

At what point should I up my game for skincare?

Accepted Answer

If your current skincare routine isn't delivering the results it used to, perhaps your skin feels dull, you're noticing new lines, or breakouts are more frequent, it might be time to reassess. As Christa from Brilliant Skin & Laser Studio advises, when what you're doing isn't working anymore, it's a clear sign to elevate your skincare approach.

Skin evolves with age, lifestyle, and environmental factors. What worked in your 20s may not suffice in your 30s or beyond.

Question 5

There is something new on my body, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If it’s painful, changing quickly, or causing concern, visit urgent care. Otherwise, check in with your Primary Care Provider first, they can advise whether a dermatology referral is needed.
Also think about your personal or family history with skin conditions or skin cancer. When in doubt, it’s always best to get it looked at.
