What is a prisma appointment like?

Your Prisma treatment at Aura is designed to be quick, comfortable, and highly effective. When you arrive, your provider will begin with a consultation to assess your skin concerns and customize the treatment settings based on your needs. Your skin will be cleansed, and protective eyewear will be provided before starting the session.

During the treatment, you’ll feel gentle muscle contractions, soothing warmth, and brief pulses of light. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild heat or a quick snap, similar to a rubber band. Prisma's advanced cooling technology ensures the process is consistently comfortable. Unlike traditional IPL treatments, Prisma delivers energy with precision, significantly reducing discomfort and minimizing skin irritation for a smoother, more enjoyable experience.

WHO PERFORMS THE BOTOX INJECTIONS?

All Botox injections at our center are performed by our highly trained Aura Aesthetics medical providers. Your care and comfort are our top priorities!
HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?

Botox effectively relaxes facial muscles and decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox belongs to a class of cosmetic injectables that temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for these wrinkles. It’s composed of a neurotoxin protein called botulinum toxin that blocks communications between muscles and the nerve roots that carry messages to the brain. When strategically injected into the facial muscles responsible for your wrinkles, Botox relaxes your muscles and reduces the look of wrinkles on your skin.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

On average, the results of Botox treatment endure for approximately 3-4 months. However, some clients may experience longer-lasting results. To maintain a smooth and wrinkle-free appearance, our clients usually undergo three to four Botox treatments annually.
DOES IT HURT?

Aura Aesthetics is staffed with highly trained and experienced injectors dedicated to ensuring your comfort. While Botox injections may cause a slight sting or prick sensation, our skilled team strives to make the experience as comfortable as possible for you.
WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME?

There is no downtime associated with Botox treatments. You may encounter slight tenderness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these effects generally resolve within hours to a few days after the treatment.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF A BOTOX TREATMENT?

Some people experience minor swelling and bruising for a few days. But you can resume most daily activities immediately and strenuous activities in 24 hours.
HOW MANY UNITS OF BOTOX WILL I NEED?

Our wrinkle relaxers can address several areas, including: Frown lines (aka 11's) - (10-25 units) Forehead lines - (12-20 units) Brow Lift - (4-10 units) Laugh lines or crow's feet - (12-20 units) Gummy smile Pebble chin Necklines - (12-24 units) Bunny lines - (6-12 units) Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) - (20-50 units) Lip Flip - (4-8 units) Jaw clenching - (30-50 units) Enlarged pores Chin dimpling - (6-8 units) The average units above differ between patients' needs. Women who exercise heavily and men require higher doses. Areas treated that require more than 50 units qualify for a reduced rate.
WHERE IS BOTOX INJECTED?

Our treatments commonly target areas between the brows, forehead, and around the eyes for optimal results.
CAN WE CONSULT OVER THE PHONE?

Wwe understand the convenience of teleconsultations, but when it comes to Botox treatments, an in-person consultation is essential. To determine the right number of units for your unique needs, your injector must thoroughly assess your skin in person. Factors like skin elasticity, texture, and other individual characteristics play a crucial role in creating a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals. This level of precision simply can’t be achieved through a virtual consultation, which is why we prioritize an in-person approach to ensure the best results for you.
WHAT ARE FILLERS?

Dermal Fillers provide instant smoothing of moderate to severe lines around the nose and mouth. They also address volume loss in the cheeks, offering a lifting effect. The results are natural-looking and can last up to two years, depending on the type of filler and the placement area.
HOW LONG DO FILLERS LAST?

Fillers can provide optimal correction for up to two years. Some evidence suggests that hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm and Voluma may stimulate the production of new collagen in your body, potentially extending the duration of improvement.
DOES IT HURT?

Generally, there is minimal discomfort during the treatment process. To enhance your comfort, especially in sensitive areas like fine lines around the mouth or in the lips, a topical numbing cream may be applied before the treatment.
WHAT IS A HYDRAFACIAL?

The HydraFacial treatment represents a breakthrough in aesthetic technology. Its name originates from the root word "Hydrate," emphasizing its ability to cause the skin to take up moisture.
WHY IS HYDRAFACIAL GOOD FOR MY SKIN?

Hydration forms the foundation of healthy, radiant skin. Skin irritation has been shown to accelerate signs of aging. The HydraFacial, being a hydrating and non-irritating treatment, promotes radiant, glowing, and nourished skin, leaving you with a rejuvenated and refreshed complexion.
AM I A CANDIDATE FOR THIS TREATMENT?

The HydraFacial treatment is designed to cater to all skin types, including the most sensitive ones. Your Aura Aesthetics technician can select specific treatment serums and customize the procedure to address your unique skin conditions and needs. It's a versatile and inclusive treatment suitable for a wide range of individuals.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE? IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME OR PAIN INVOLVED?

The HydraFacial treatment is a quick and efficient procedure, taking approximately an hour of your time. Described as feeling like a cool paintbrush moving over the face, the treatment is generally comfortable. There is no downtime, and you can apply makeup and resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Most clients only need one treatment. However, based on the degree of wrinkles, skin laxity and volume loss clients may benefit from additional treatments. Because skin continues to age, additional treatments can help clients keep pace with the body’s natural aging process.
WHAT IS IPL?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, commonly known as a photo facial, is an advanced skincare technology designed to promote youthful-looking skin with improved firmness, tone, and texture. This safe and FDA-cleared option is effective for addressing sun damage, anti-aging concerns, and overall skin rejuvenation. IPL specifically targets: Pigmented Lesions: Including freckles and age spots. Vascular Lesions: Such as small blood vessels. Skin Firmness: Enhancing the tightness and resilience of the skin. Uneven Skin Texture: Improving the overall smoothness and consistency of the skin. Experience the benefits of IPL for a radiant and revitalized complexion.
HOW DOES IPL WORK?

IPL works by delivering light energy that gently heats the upper layers of your skin. This controlled heat absorption in targeted areas stimulates your skin cells to regenerate new collagen. Through this process, your skin is rejuvenated, restoring its natural beauty, blending its natural colors, and creating a smoother, vibrant, and more youthful appearance. Additionally, the photothermal energy eliminates fine vessels causing redness and reduces unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions. IPL offers a comprehensive approach to skin enhancement, addressing various concerns for a revitalized complexion.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH IPL?

IPL treatments can be applied to any area of your body. However, due to frequent exposure to the damaging effects of sunlight, the most popular treatment areas include the face, neck, back of the hands, chest, and shoulders. This flexibility allows for targeted improvement in various regions, addressing specific concerns for a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
WHAT DOES IPL FEEL LIKE?

IPL treatment is gentle, noninvasive, and safe. While individual tolerance may vary, a topical anesthetic is typically not necessary. If you happen to experience any discomfort during the procedure, communicate with your Aura Aesthetics treatment provider. They can offer a topical numbing cream to enhance your comfort and ensure a pleasant experience.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

The number of treatments required varies from individual to individual, and your Aura Aesthetics treatment provider will customize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire. Typically, a common approach involves a series of three to six treatments to achieve optimal results.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER IPL TREATMENT?

Immediately after treatment, mild redness may occur, and you may experience a sensation similar to a slight sunburn in the treated area. This discomfort is expected to dissipate within a few hours, although in some cases, it may last a day or two. Several days post-treatment, you can start noticing healthier-looking skin. Sun spots, age spots, or broken blood vessels should begin to clear up within one to two weeks, revealing improved skin tone and texture.
WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling is a procedure where a device slides along the skin, penetrating the upper layers to a depth of up to 2mm. This action signals the body to respond by producing collagen and elastin fibers. Consequently, the skin becomes fuller, reducing the appearance of scars, lines, and wrinkles. Microneedling is a rejuvenating treatment that stimulates the skin's natural healing processes for improved texture and tone.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?

With a numbed face, the microneedling treatment feels like little more than light pressure on the face, occasionally accompanied by a mild sparking sensation. The numbing helps ensure your comfort during the procedure, making it a generally tolerable experience.
WHAT IS FACTORFIVE?

FactorFive is a cutting-edge skincare technology that uses human stem cell-derived growth factors to support skin regeneration, boost collagen production, and accelerate healing. Unlike PRP, which relies on your own blood, FactorFive harnesses scientifically formulated growth factors to enhance skin repair, improve elasticity, and reduce signs of aging at a cellular level. When combined with microneedling, FactorFive penetrates deeper into the skin, maximizing its rejuvenating effects for smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin.
WHAT IS PRP?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is crafted from a person's own blood. It is a concentrated blend of plasma cells and specific growth factors. When injected into tissue, PRP bathes the cells, naturally stimulating the healing process. This innovative approach utilizes the body's own resources to enhance healing and rejuvenation.
WHAT IS MY RECOVERY TIME?

The inflammation of the skin is very temporary and significantly reduces within a few hours post-treatment. It may remain slightly pink for up to 48 hours after the procedure. Utilizing hyaluronic acid after the procedure can help further reduce inflammation, and sunscreen is recommended to protect the skin. If you choose to use makeup during the recovery period, it's advisable to limit it to mineral makeup for optimal skin care.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED FOR MICRONEEDLING?

The number of treatments required depends on the specific skin condition. For moderate acne scars, three to four treatments may be needed, while thermal burns and stretch marks may require up to five treatments. For wrinkles caused by aging, one or two refresher treatments are recommended per year. Microneedling can be safely repeated every four to six weeks, as needed. Collagen induction typically requires a minimum of three treatments, while scar reduction may necessitate between three and six sessions. It's advisable to allow four to six weeks between each treatment to optimize the healing and rejuvenation process.
HOW LONG DOES MICRONEEDLING TAKE?

The Microneedling treatment itself typically takes about 45 minutes. However, an additional 30 to 45 minutes is usually allocated beforehand for the application of numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The combined time allows for a comprehensive and comfortable Microneedling experience.
WHAT KIND OF SKIN DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK ON?

Medical microneedling is safe to use on all skin types and colors without the risk of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. This makes it a versatile and inclusive option for individuals with various skin tones and types.
