Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best cosmetic treatment for aging skin?+
There is no single best treatment — the most effective approach depends on your specific concerns, skin type, and goals. During your consultation, Denise will perform a thorough skin analysis and recommend a customized treatment plan. Many patients benefit from a combination approach, such as chemical peels for texture and tone paired with microneedling for collagen stimulation and injectables for volume and line correction.
How much downtime should I expect after a chemical peel?+
Downtime varies based on the depth of the peel. Light peels typically involve minimal downtime — you may experience mild flaking for one to three days. Medium-depth peels may require three to seven days of peeling and redness. Denise will recommend the appropriate peel depth based on your goals and schedule, and will provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results.
What is PRP therapy and how does it work?+
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then applying or injecting it back into the skin. These growth factors stimulate collagen production, accelerate healing, and promote cellular renewal. PRP is often combined with microneedling for enhanced results and is an excellent option for patients seeking natural rejuvenation.
How many microneedling sessions will I need?+
Most patients see noticeable improvement after three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. However, the optimal number of treatments depends on your specific concerns. Fine lines and general texture improvement may respond in fewer sessions, while deeper acne scarring may benefit from a longer treatment course. Denise will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Are cosmetic dermatology treatments safe for all skin types?+
Yes — with the right provider and customized approach. Denise has extensive experience treating all skin types and tones, including Fitzpatrick types IV through VI, which require specialized protocols to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation. Every treatment plan is tailored to your unique skin characteristics to ensure safe, effective results.
