Frequently asked questions

Only if too much product is placed or the wrong areas are treated. Our approach is conservative and structural: we treat the cause of the shadow rather than filling the line itself, and we prefer two smaller sessions over one large one.

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which we keep on site. Calcium hydroxylapatite products such as Radiesse are not reversible, which is why product choice is a medical decision.

Most patients describe pressure rather than pain. We use topical anaesthetic and fillers that contain lidocaine, and dental block anaesthesia is available for lip work.

You can fly the next day. We usually recommend at least 48 hours in İstanbul so we can see you for a quick check before departure.

Yes — with 0.5 ml or less, correct placement and respect for your upper-to-lower ratio. Natural results are a planning choice, not a product choice.

Most patients look noticeably swollen for 2–3 days. Plan treatment at least a week before an important event.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid lip filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, usually with a short waiting period before re-treatment.

Russian lips is a specific vertical injection technique that lifts height without projecting the lip forward. It is a technique, not a product.

Migration is caused by overfilling and superficial placement, not by the technique itself. Conservative volumes and correct depth prevent it.

That is exactly what this technique avoids. Height increases while the profile stays relatively flat.

Most patients get their preferred shape in two sessions spaced four weeks apart.

Not with individualised dosing. We aim to weaken the pull of specific muscles, not to eliminate movement — most patients keep full expression with softer lines.

Botulinum toxin has decades of clinical use in medicine and aesthetics. Long-term regular use typically means needing less product over time.

When dynamic lines start to stay visible at rest — for many people that is between 27 and 35. There is no fixed age.

Yes, and it is usually the better plan: toxin handles movement, filler handles volume.

No. It is the same licensed toxin at a lower dose with a different distribution strategy.

Usually a little less — around three months rather than four to five.

No. Lines already visible at rest need standard dosing, and often skin boosters or resurfacing as well.

No. Pain relief comes first; visible slimming takes four to eight weeks as the muscle reduces.

Yes. Some patients notice fatigue with very hard food in the first weeks, which resolves.

Often yes, when headaches originate from clenching and temporal muscle tension.

Same molecule, different protocol, dose and purpose. The migraine protocol covers head, neck and shoulders.

No. It is preventive treatment that reduces how often and how severely attacks occur.

Two treatment cycles — roughly six months — is the accepted assessment window.

No. The treated area is a small fraction of the body's sweat glands and thermoregulation is unaffected.

Palms are more sensitive than underarms. We use cooling and topical anaesthesia, and the session lasts about 20 minutes.

Two to four weeks before you need the effect, since full dryness takes up to two weeks.

Most skin types need four to six sessions two to three weeks apart before maintenance.

Yes, but allow at least three days for redness and small bumps to settle.

They overlap. Mesotherapy is nutrient-focused across a course; skin boosters place larger volumes of stabilised hyaluronic acid for longer hydration.

Because of the injection technique and the idea of dosing the skin with the nutrients it needs — it is not a vaccine in the immunological sense.

Yes, and it is often the ideal base treatment. Sequencing is planned at consultation.

Finish the course at least two weeks before the event, ideally starting three months ahead.

It is different. Radiesse gives structure and collagen stimulation but cannot be dissolved. Hyaluronic acid is more forgiving and reversible. The choice depends on the area and your risk preference.

The product is diluted with saline and lidocaine and spread in a thin layer to stimulate collagen and tighten skin rather than add volume — ideal for neck, décolleté and arms.

No. That is why we use it only where the indication and the plan are clear.

It improves follicles that are still alive but miniaturised. Completely lost follicles do not return with injections; a transplant is the option there.

Scalp injections are uncomfortable rather than painful, and we use cooling and topical anaesthesia.

Reduced shedding at 4–8 weeks, visible density at three months, assessed with comparison photographs.

They act on similar pathways with different logistics. PRP is autologous and inexpensive; exosome products are standardised and dose-consistent. Choice depends on your case and budget.

Three sessions is the usual course, with maintenance twice a year.

Yes — it is frequently used after micro-needling, laser or as part of a hair-restoration plan.

No. They hydrate and improve skin quality without adding structural volume.

Yes. Skin boosters treat skin quality, toxin treats movement and filler treats volume — they are complementary.

Usually 12–24 hours, depending on the product and area.

Normal hyaluronic acid filler only fills. HarmonyCa also stimulates collagen, so part of the result is your own tissue.

The hyaluronic acid part can, the calcium hydroxylapatite part cannot. That is why plane and quantity discipline matter.

No. It lifts and firms moderately; significant skin laxity needs surgical or energy-based treatment.

It is excellent in mobile areas because of its resilience. In other indications another brand may be the better technical choice — that is a medical decision.

Always. The sealed syringe is opened in front of you and the batch number goes into your file.

Sealed packaging, a traceable batch sticker, correct storage and a clinic willing to show you all of it.

No. It improves mild to moderate laxity. Significant sagging needs surgery, and we will tell you if that is your situation.

Typically four to six surface RF sessions, or one to three micro-needling RF sessions spaced a month apart.

Yes, with correct sequencing — usually radiofrequency first, injectables two weeks later.

Two to three days is ideal; the same day is possible for most skins.

No. It includes gentle exfoliation but is not a medium or deep chemical peel and does not cause shedding.

Yes — many patients treat it as monthly skin maintenance.

Micro-needling is one component. The protocol combines it with infusions and, where useful, injectables and radiofrequency.

Yes, with adjusted settings, pre-treatment preparation and strict sun protection.

No. It improves skin quality; volume loss still needs volume replacement.

It varies from 2 to 6 ml across a full plan. We quote the plan, not a single syringe, and we split large plans across visits.

Not if the plan treats structure rather than chasing lines. Restraint and correct depth are what keep the result natural.

Different. Injectables restore volume; surgery removes and repositions excess skin. If you need surgery, we will say so.

It can define an existing bone structure and mask early jowling. It cannot compensate for significant skin laxity or a skeletal discrepancy.

Yes. Male plans keep angles wide and square and avoid mid-face lifting that feminises the face.

Typically 2–4 ml for a defined result, often split across two sessions.
