Results are gradual, with improvements typically seen after several consistent sessions.

Does red light therapy hurt?

Not at all! The treatment is completely painless and often described as relaxing.

Is red light therapy safe?

Yes, it is a non-invasive and safe treatment when performed with professional-grade devices.

How often should I do red light therapy?

Most patients benefit from multiple sessions per week initially, followed by maintenance treatments.

How many treatments are needed for laser hair removal?

Most patients require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to target hair in different growth phases.

Can all skin types be treated?

Many skin types can be treated, though suitability depends on factors like hair color and skin tone.

Does the treatment hurt?

Discomfort is minimal and often described as a quick snapping sensation during the procedure.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

It provides long-term hair reduction, though occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.

How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

Most patients require a series of treatments, typically spaced several weeks apart, for optimal hair reduction.

Are results from these treatments permanent?

Destroyed fat cells do not return, though maintaining weight helps preserve results.

Will the lesion come back?

Recurrence is uncommon when lesions are properly treated and monitored.

Will my face look overfilled?

No. Careful placement and conservative dosing maintain natural contours and balance.

How long do fillers for volume loss last?

Most dermal fillers last between 6–18 months depending on the area treated and product used.

When should I start wrinkle treatments?

Many patients begin preventative treatments in their late 20s or 30s, though correction is effective at any age.

Will my face look frozen?

When properly administered, results appear natural and maintain normal facial expression.

When will I see results from BOTOX®, DYSPORT®, or JEUVEAU®?

It depends on the neuromodulator used. But in general, most patients notice smoothing within 3–5 days, with some seeing changes sooner.

How many units will I need?

The number of units varies based on treatment area, muscle strength, and desired outcome.

How long do neuromodulators last?

Results typically last 3–4 months, though some patients may see effects up to six months.

What makes BOTOX wear off faster?

Like the other neurotoxins, the effects of BOTOX treatment wear off as the body metabolizes the toxin. If you have a higher metabolism (e.g. younger people, athletes), your body may break down the injected neurotoxin faster, which requires more frequent treatments. However, it is uncommon for BOTOX and similar treatments to last less than three months at the minimum.

Is it OK to do BOTOX every 4 months?

Yes, many patients receive routine BOTOX treatments every 3-4 months to ensure long-lasting results in their facial appearance. However, every patient has different needs, which is why we will create a plan that has been customized for your cosmetic goals.

Can fillers be combined with Botox or other services?

Yes, they can be. In fact, fillers often pair well with neuromodulators and skin treatments for comprehensive results.

Will I look “overdone”?

Not a Glo*tologi! Our approach is subtle, balanced enhancement that preserves natural facial harmony.

Which filler lasts the longest?

While no dermal filler is guaranteed to last forever, the major injections all have a long shelf life. For example, popular dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane can last up to 18 months or longer, though these results are never guaranteed because they are affected by factors such as the size of the patient's treatment area.

Is dermal filler injection safe?

Absolutely! While even the simplest medical procedure carries some level of risk with it, typical side effects associated with dermal filler treatment (such as swelling or bruising in the treatment areas) tend to be minor and almost always disappear within a few days or weeks of the procedure.

In addition, you can rest easy knowing that the use of dermal fillers for correcting facial wrinkles and creases, increasing skin volume, and fixing acne scars has been approved by the FDA.

Can I combine microneedling with other treatments?

Yes—microneedling can complement services like PRP, lasers, and skin tightening plans.

Does microneedling hurt?

With topical numbing, most patients describe it as mild pressure or a warm scratching sensation.

How long do microneedling results last?

For some patients, the improvements in their skin appearance and health can last for years. For other people, however, their results last about 4-6 months, making "touch-up" appointments essential for maintaining your rejuvenated appearance.

What's the difference between microneedling and microdermabrasion?

Both of these processes help improve the way your skin looks and feels. However, microdermabrasion uses an exfoliating material to remove the top layer of your skin, while a microneedling device penetrates deeper into the surface of your skin. This makes microneedling better for treating skin conditions such as acne scars.

Is this program only for weight loss?

No—our approach supports metabolic health, energy, sleep, and whole-body wellness.

Who is eligible for treatment with skinny shots or GLPs?

Eligibility for skinny shots and GLPs typically depends on individual health status, body mass index (BMI), and any underlying health conditions. Generally, these treatments are considered for adults with obesity (BMI of 30 or higher) or overweight (BMI of 27 or higher) with at least one weight-related condition such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. However, a healthcare provider can offer the best advice on eligibility based on a comprehensive health assessment.

Are there any side effects associated with skinny shots and GLPs?

Like all medical treatments, skinny shots and GLPs can have side effects. Skinny shots may cause irritation at the injection site, upset stomach, or allergic reactions in some individuals. GLPs can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. These medications may also have more serious side effects in rare cases, so it's important to discuss the risks and benefits with a healthcare provider.

What are skinny shots, and how do they work?

Skinny shots, also known as lipotropic injections, are designed to help the body burn fat more efficiently. They typically contain a blend of vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients that support the liver in processing fat. By enhancing fat metabolism, these injections can aid in weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise regimen. They may also boost energy levels, making sticking to workout and diet plans easier.

Is BioHRT safe?

When monitored by trained medical professionals, BioHRT is considered a safe and effective treatment option.

How do I know if my hormones are imbalanced?

Symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and night sweats may indicate imbalance, confirmed through testing.

What are the sources of bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are produced in a laboratory. The organisms used as the basis for these hormones are plants, such as yams and soybeans. The hormones are derived from these plants and then chemically synthesized to match the natural hormones found within the human body.

What hormones are used in bioidentical hormone therapy?

Some of the most commonly used and rigorously tested hormones for BHRT are testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Both men and women have natural supplies of all of these hormones, though each sex requires a different proportion of each in order to enjoy optimal health.

Can V-P be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. V-P enhances procedures such as microneedling and laser treatments for improved outcomes.

How soon can I expect to see results from V-P Treatment?

Many clients report seeing visible improvements in their skin's appearance shortly after their initial treatment. However, the results can vary based on individual skin conditions and the treatment's goals. Optimal results and long-lasting skin rejuvenation often require a series of sessions, as outlined in your customized treatment plan. Our specialists will guide you on what to expect during your journey to revitalized skin.

Are there any side effects associated with V-P Treatment?

V-P Treatment is designed to be minimally invasive with little to no downtime. Some clients may experience slight redness or sensitivity in the treated area immediately following the session, which typically subsides within a few hours. Our team at Glo*tologi Med Spa ensures that all treatments meet the highest safety standards and will discuss any potential side effects with you in detail.

How long does a V-P Treatment session last?

The duration of a V-P Treatment session can vary depending on the specific areas being treated and the extent of the treatment required. Typically, sessions last between 30 to 60 minutes. Your aesthetician will provide more detailed information regarding the length of your personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

Who is an ideal candidate for V-P Treatment?

The V-P Treatment is suitable for individuals looking for a comprehensive solution to improve their skin's overall health, appearance, and vitality. It is ideal for those with concerns related to skin dullness, uneven texture, fine lines, and environmental damage. However, a personalized consultation at Glo*tologi Med Spa can help determine if V-P is the right choice based on specific skin types and concerns.

What exactly is V-P Treatment?

V-P Treatment is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation service offered by Glo*tologi Med Spa. It uniquely combines deep skin purification with nourishing protocols to detoxify, refresh, and revitalize your skin. Utilizing advanced technologies and methodologies, it targets the root causes of various skin imperfections, including uneven skin tone, texture irregularities, and visible signs of aging.

When will I start to see results from lipolytic injections?

Results can vary, but most patients start noticing changes within 3-4 weeks after the first session. The full effect typically becomes visible after a series of treatments, with optimal results seen a few weeks after the final session.

Are the injections painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A numbing cream or local anesthetic is often applied to minimize any pain. You may feel a slight burning or tingling sensation as the solution is injected.

How many sessions will I need to see results?

The number of sessions needed varies based on the treatment area and individual goals. Typically, 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended to achieve optimal results.

Are lipolytic injections permanent?

Yes, destroyed fat cells are permanently removed, though maintaining results requires a healthy lifestyle.

How long does the procedure take?

Cryosurgery is usually a quick procedure, often completed in just a few minutes. The exact time depends on the size and number of lesions being treated.

What types of lesions can be treated with cryosurgery?

Cryosurgery can treat a variety of skin lesions, including warts, skin tags, actinic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, and some types of skin cancer (e.g., basal cell carcinoma)

Are there any risks or side effects associated with cryosurgery?

Common side effects include redness, blistering, swelling, and temporary skin discoloration. Scarring is rare but possible, especially if the area is scratched or disturbed during healing.

Can cryosurgery be used on any part of the body?

Cryosurgery is safe for most areas of the body, but certain sensitive areas (e.g., eyelids, genital regions) may require special care or an alternative treatment.

Is cryosurgery covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover cryosurgery, especially if it is deemed medically necessary (e.g., for precancerous or cancerous lesions). It’s best to check with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.

Is cryosurgery painful?

Most patients experience mild stinging or burning during freezing, which quickly subsides after treatment.

Do lipolytic injections help with weight loss?

No, lipolytic injections are not a weight loss treatment. They are designed to target small, localized areas of fat and are best suited for body contouring rather than overall weight reduction.

How long do the results of lipolytic injections last?

The results of lipolytic injections can be long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent the formation of new fat deposits.
