It is designed to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin by addressing various skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, oily or congested skin, and enlarged pores. Here's an overview of the HydraFacial treatment process: Cleansing and Exfoliation The treatment begins with a gentle cleansing of the skin to remove surface impurities and makeup. A specialized HydraFacial device is then used to exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing smoother and healthier skin underneath. Extraction The HydraFacial device uses a unique vacuum-powered extraction method to gently remove debris from the pores, including blackheads, whiteheads, and other impurities. This step helps to unclog pores and improve the overall clarity and texture of the skin. Hydration After exfoliation and extraction, the skin is infused with hydrating serums containing antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. These serums are delivered deep into the skin using the HydraFacial device, providing intense hydration and nourishment to the skin cells. Antioxidant Protection The HydraFacial treatment concludes with the application of a protective serum containing antioxidants to help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from environmental damage. This step helps to promote overall skin health and minimize the signs of aging.

What is The skin booster?
"Skin booster" is a term commonly used in the field of dermatology and cosmetic medicine to refer to a type of injectable treatment designed to improve the overall quality and hydration of the skin. Skin boosters typically consist of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and promote skin elasticity. Here's an overview of skin booster treatments Hyaluronic Acid: Skin boosters contain hyaluronic acid, a substance known for its ability to attract and retain water molecules. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid helps hydrate and plump the skin from within, resulting in a smoother, more radiant complexion. Treatment Areas: Skin booster injections are commonly used to improve the appearance of the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. They can help address a variety of skin concerns, including dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and uneven texture. Procedure: Skin booster injections are administered using a fine needle or cannula, typically in a series of small injections distributed evenly across the treatment area. The injections are relatively painless, and some formulations may contain lidocaine to help minimize discomfort during the procedure. Results: Patients typically notice an immediate improvement in skin hydration and texture following skin booster injections. Over time, the hyaluronic acid stimulates collagen production, leading to further improvements in skin elasticity and firmness. Results can last several months to a year, depending on the specific product used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle habits. Maintenance: To maintain the results of skin booster treatments, patients may opt for periodic touch-up sessions every few months. Your dermatologist or cosmetic provider can recommend a treatment schedule tailored to your specific needs and goals. Safety: Skin booster injections are generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there is a risk of side effects, such as redness, swelling, bruising, or infection at the injection site. It's essential to follow your provider's post-treatment care instructions and report any unusual symptoms promptly. Overall, skin boosters can be an effective treatment option for individuals looking to improve the hydration, texture, and overall appearance of their skin without the need for invasive procedures. If you're considering skin booster injections, schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or cosmetic provider to discuss your options and determine the best approach for achieving your skincare goals.

What is Peeling?
Peeling is a procedure that involves the application of chemical solutions to the skin, which causes the outer layers of the skin to slough off. This process encourages skin regeneration and renewal, resulting in improved skin texture, tone, and clarity. Here's how Peeling treatment typically works The procedure for a chemical peel typically involves the following steps Consultation: A consultation with a dermatologist or skincare professional is essential to determine the appropriate type of peel for your skin type and concerns. Preparation: Before the peel, your skin will be cleansed thoroughly to remove any makeup, oil, or debris. Depending on the type of peel, your skin may also be prepped with specific skincare products. Application of Chemical Solution: The chemical solution (which can contain acids like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid) is carefully applied to the skin using a brush or cotton applicator. The solution is left on the skin for a specific amount of time, depending on the depth of the peel. Neutralization (if applicable): Some peels require neutralization with water or a neutralizing solution to stop the chemical reaction on the skin. Post-Treatment Care: After the peel, your skin may be temporarily sensitive and red. Specific post-peel skincare instructions will be provided, including moisturizing, avoiding sun exposure, and using gentle products.

What is Laser Hair Bleaching?
Laser hair bleaching is a cosmetic procedure that involves using laser technology to lighten the color of unwanted hair on the body. Unlike traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, or threading, laser hair bleaching targets the pigment in the hair follicles, reducing their color intensity and making them less noticeable. Here's how laser hair bleaching typically works Consultation: The process begins with a consultation with a qualified dermatologist or cosmetic professional. During this consultation, the provider will assess the patient's skin and hair type, discuss their goals, and determine if laser hair bleaching is a suitable option. Preparation: Before the procedure, the patient may be advised to avoid sun exposure and certain skincare products that can increase sensitivity to laser treatments. The treatment area is typically shaved or trimmed to ensure that the laser can target the hair follicles effectively. Laser Treatment: During the procedure, a handheld laser device is used to emit pulses of light energy onto the skin's surface. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles, generating heat that damages the follicles and inhibits future hair growth. Bleaching Solution: In some cases, a bleaching solution containing hydrogen peroxide or other lightening agents may be applied to the treated area before or after laser treatment. This solution helps to further lighten the color of the hair and enhance the overall bleaching effect. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or discomfort in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen to protect the treated skin as it heals. Results: The results of laser hair bleaching are gradual and may vary depending on factors such as the patient's skin and hair type, the color and thickness of the hair, and the number of treatment sessions received. Multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart may be needed to achieve the desired level of hair lightening.

What is PRP?
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, is a medical treatment that utilizes the patient's own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation in various areas of the body, including the skin, hair, and joints. PRP therapy has gained popularity in dermatology and cosmetic medicine for its ability to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and enhance hair growth. Here's how PRP treatment typically works Preparation: The process begins with a small blood draw from the patient, usually from the arm. The blood sample is then processed in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components. Isolation of PRP: The centrifugation process isolates the platelet-rich plasma, which contains a concentrated amount of platelets, growth factors, and other bioactive proteins essential for tissue repair and regeneration. Application: The PRP is then applied to the treatment area, either through injections or topically, depending on the specific indication. In dermatology, PRP is commonly used to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and enhance collagen production when injected into the skin. Activation: In some cases, the PRP may be activated using calcium chloride or thrombin to release growth factors and enhance its regenerative properties before application. Treatment Sessions: PRP therapy may involve a series of treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions required varies depending on the patient's condition, treatment goals, and response to treatment. Recovery: PRP therapy is minimally invasive, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. Some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Results: Patients may start to notice improvements in their skin texture, tone, and overall appearance within a few weeks to months after PRP treatment. The regenerative effects of PRP continue to enhance collagen production and tissue remodeling over time, resulting in gradual and natural-looking improvements.

What is Threads?
Thread is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. Thread lifting involves the insertion of dissolvable threads, typically made of a biocompatible material such as polydioxanone (PDO), into the skin to create a lifting effect. These threads have tiny barbs or cones that grasp onto the underlying tissue, allowing the surgeon to reposition and lift the skin to a more youthful position.

What is Dermaroller?
Dermaroller treatment, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a handheld device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, improved skin texture, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other skin concerns. Here's how dermaroller treatment typically works Preparation: Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed and numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort during the treatment. The dermatologist or skincare professional will assess the patient's skin concerns and customize the treatment plan accordingly. Microneedling: The dermaroller device, which consists of a cylindrical barrel covered with fine needles, is gently rolled over the skin in multiple directions. The needles create tiny punctures, or micro-channels, in the skin's surface, triggering the body's natural healing response. Stimulation of Collagen Production: The micro-injuries created by the dermaroller stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins that help maintain the skin's structure and elasticity. This leads to skin tightening, improved firmness, and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. Enhanced Product Absorption: The micro-channels created during microneedling also enhance the absorption of topical skincare products, such as serums, hyaluronic acid, or growth factors, applied during or immediately after the procedure. This allows for better penetration of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin, maximizing their effectiveness. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, the skin may appear red, swollen, or slightly bruised, similar to a mild sunburn. Patients are typically advised to avoid sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and vigorous exercise for a few days following the treatment. Regular application of sunscreen and moisturizer is recommended to protect and hydrate the skin as it heals.

When can I go in the sun?
Avoid direct sun for several weeks and use SPF 50 daily.
What is Fractional Laser Treatment ?
Fractional laser treatment is a type of skin resurfacing procedure that uses a laser to target specific areas of the skin, creating microscopic channels known as "fractional zones." Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, which treats the entire surface of the skin, fractional lasers only target a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue untouched. This allows for faster healing and reduced downtime. Here's how fractional laser treatment works and what it's used for

Can fat come back?
Removed fat cells don't return, but remaining fat can grow with weight gain.
Will it tighten loose skin?
Not significantly — loose skin may need a tummy tuck or lift.
How much fat can be removed?
A safe amount determined by your surgeon for your health and body.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or body contouring surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body to improve contours and proportions. Here's an overview of liposuction:

Usually at least 6–12 months, unless there is a medical reason to act sooner.
Can any surgery be revised?
Many can be improved, but each case needs individual evaluation.
Will it fully correct the problem?
Your surgeon will explain realistic goals after examination.
Acne
What is the best treatment for acne?
There is no single answer. Your doctor sets the plan according to severity and skin type, which may combine medical treatment with peels or carbon laser.
Is adult acne different from teenage acne?
Often, yes. Adult acne is frequently hormonal and tends to appear on the lower face and jawline. It responds well to a tailored medical plan.
How long until I see results?
Most patients see improvement within 6–12 weeks. Severe or hormonal acne can take longer and needs follow-up visits.
Can a facial or peel cure acne on its own?
They help control congestion and oil, but lasting results usually come from combining them with medical skincare and the right home routine.
Will treating acne also remove my scars?
Active acne is treated first. Scars and marks are treated afterwards with options such as Dermapen, laser resurfacing or peels.
Is acne treatment suitable for men?
Yes. Our acne plans are designed for both men and women and adjusted to skin type and lifestyle.
Acne scars
How can I reduce acne scars?
Collagen-stimulating treatments such as Morpheus8, Dermapen and fractional laser improve texture gradually over several sessions.
Can acne scars be removed completely?
Most scars can be significantly improved, but complete removal is rarely possible. The goal is smoother, more even skin.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 3–6 sessions, depending on scar type, depth and the technology used. Your doctor will give you a personal estimate.
Is there downtime?
Microneedling usually causes 1–3 days of redness. Laser resurfacing may need several days of recovery, depending on intensity.
Is scar treatment safe for darker skin?
Yes, with the right technology and settings. Microneedling-based treatments are often preferred for darker skin types, and your doctor will adjust the plan to reduce the risk of pigmentation.
Can I treat scars while I still have breakouts?
It is best to control active acne first. Your doctor may treat acne and marks in stages.
Pigmentation & melasma
What is the best treatment for pigmentation?
It depends on the type and depth of pigmentation; your doctor will choose after examination, and daily sunscreen is essential.
Can pigmentation be removed permanently?
Many sun spots and marks can fade significantly. Melasma tends to recur, so it is controlled with maintenance and sun protection.
Is laser safe for melasma?
Only some lasers, with careful settings. Melasma can worsen with the wrong treatment, which is why we assess it before choosing any device.
How many sessions are needed?
Peels and laser treatments usually need 3–6 sessions, combined with daily skincare. Your doctor will set the schedule.
Is it suitable for darker skin tones?
Yes, with the right choice of treatment. Darker skin needs gentler, carefully selected options to avoid new pigmentation.
Uneven texture
Which treatment is best for rough skin?
It depends on the cause. Peels and dermaplaning suit surface roughness; microneedling and laser suit deeper irregularities. Your specialist will recommend the right one.
How soon will my skin feel smoother?
Many patients notice smoother skin after the first peel or facial; deeper improvement builds over a course of treatments.
Can treatments be combined?
Yes. Combining surface and collagen treatments often gives the most even result.
Is there downtime?
Peels and dermaplaning have little or no downtime. Microneedling and laser may cause redness for a few days.
Enlarged pores
How do I treat large pores?
Options such as HydraFacial, carbon laser and microneedling help purify pores and refine texture.
Can pores be closed permanently?
No treatment closes pores permanently, but their appearance can be reduced and maintained.
How many sessions do I need?
Typically 3–5 sessions of carbon laser or microneedling, plus regular facials for maintenance.
Is carbon laser painful?
Most people feel only mild warmth or tingling, and there is usually no downtime.
Do facials help with pores?
Deep cleansing facials clear congestion so pores look smaller, and work best alongside resurfacing treatments.
Dull skin
How can I get brighter skin?
HydraFacial sessions, skin boosters and light peels together with a suitable home routine.
Will I see a difference after one session?
Usually yes — facials, peels and carbon laser give an immediate fresher look, which improves further with a course.
Is there downtime?
Most glow treatments have no downtime, so you can return to your day straight away.
Are these treatments good before an event?
Yes. A glow facial or dermaplaning a few days before an event is a popular choice. Avoid trying a new strong peel right before.
Are skin boosters different from fillers?
Yes. Skin boosters spread hydration through the skin to improve quality and glow; they do not add volume like fillers.
Dehydrated skin
Is dehydrated skin the same as dry skin?
No. Dry skin lacks oil (a skin type); dehydrated skin lacks water (a condition) and can happen to any skin type.
How quickly will my skin feel better?
A hydrating facial gives immediate comfort. Skin boosters build hydration over 2–3 sessions.
Can oily skin be dehydrated?
Yes. Oily skin can still lack water, and may even produce more oil to compensate.
How often should I have a hydrating facial?
Every 4–6 weeks is a good rhythm for most people, adjusted by your specialist.
Fine lines & wrinkles
What is the difference between Botox and filler?
Botox relaxes the muscles causing movement lines, while filler restores volume and fills lines and folds.
Will I look frozen after Botox?
Not with a careful, individual dose. Our aim is softened lines while keeping natural expression.
What's the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines; fillers restore volume to deeper folds and contours.
At what age should I start?
There is no fixed age. Treatment depends on your skin and goals; prevention with sunscreen and good skincare helps at any age.
How long do results last?
Botox about 3–4 months, skin boosters about 6 months after a course, and collagen stimulation results can last longer with maintenance.
Loss of firmness
Can skin be tightened without surgery?
Yes for mild to moderate cases; advanced cases may need a facelift. Your doctor will advise after examination.
How long until I see tightening?
Some lift is visible early, but collagen builds over 2–6 months, so results keep improving.
Is there downtime with Sofwave or Morpheus8?
Sofwave usually has no downtime; Morpheus8 may cause redness and swelling for a few days.
How long do results last?
Often 1–2 years, depending on age, lifestyle and maintenance sessions.
Can non-surgical treatments replace a facelift?
For mild to moderate laxity they can give a natural lift. Advanced laxity is usually better treated surgically.
Sun damage
Can sun damage be reversed?
Much of the visible damage — spots, tone and texture — can be improved significantly. Protection is needed to keep results.
How many IPL sessions will I need?
Usually 3–5 sessions about 4 weeks apart, depending on your skin.
When should a spot be checked by a doctor?
If a spot is new, growing, changing colour or shape, bleeding or itchy, book a dermatology consultation.
Is summer a bad time for treatment?
Some treatments can be done year-round with strict sun protection; your doctor may adjust the plan in peak summer.
Redness & rosacea
Is rosacea the same as acne?
No. Some types cause bumps that look similar, but the causes and treatment are different, so diagnosis matters.
Can IPL help with redness?
IPL can reduce visible blood vessels and background redness for selected patients. Several sessions are usually needed.
Will my rosacea go away?
It can't usually be cured, but it can be controlled well with treatment and trigger management.
Which products should I avoid?
Harsh scrubs, alcohol-based toners and strong fragrances often trigger flares. Your dermatologist will recommend suitable products.
Moles & skin lesions
Can I remove a mole for cosmetic reasons?
Yes, once a doctor has confirmed it is benign. Any suspicious lesion is assessed medically before removal.
Is mole removal painful?
It is done under local anaesthetic, so you should feel little more than the initial injection.
Will it leave a scar?
Any removal can leave a small mark. Your doctor will choose the method that balances safety and appearance.
How often should I check my skin?
Check your own skin monthly, and see a dermatologist if anything is new or changing — or regularly if you have many moles or a family history.
Eczema & dermatitis
Is eczema contagious?
No. Eczema and dermatitis are not contagious.
Can eczema be cured?
It is usually controlled rather than cured, but with the right plan most people have far fewer and milder flares.
Do I need allergy testing?
If contact dermatitis is suspected, your dermatologist may recommend tests to identify the trigger.
Which moisturiser should I use?
A fragrance-free, barrier-repair moisturiser used generously every day. Your doctor will recommend specific products.
Psoriasis
Is psoriasis contagious?
No. You cannot catch psoriasis from another person.
Can psoriasis be cured?
There is no permanent cure, but treatment can clear or greatly improve the skin and reduce flares.
Does psoriasis affect the scalp?
Often, yes. Scalp psoriasis is treated with specific lotions and shampoos.
How often will I need follow-up?
It depends on severity and treatment, usually every few weeks at first and then less often.
Warts & skin growths
Are warts contagious?
Yes, they can spread by contact. Avoid picking them and cover them in shared areas such as pools.
Can warts come back?
Sometimes. Follow-up treatment may be needed if new ones appear.
Is removal painful?
Most treatments cause only brief discomfort; local anaesthetic is used for minor procedures.
Should every growth be checked?
Any new, changing or bleeding growth should be examined by a dermatologist before removal.
Skin infections
How do I know if a rash is an infection?
Signs include spreading redness, warmth, pus, ring-shaped patches or blisters. A dermatologist can confirm it.
Can I use an over-the-counter cream?
Using the wrong cream can make some infections worse or harder to diagnose. It's best to be examined first.
Are skin infections contagious?
Some are. Your doctor will advise how to avoid spreading it.
Why does my infection keep coming back?
Recurrence can be linked to moisture, friction, health conditions or incomplete treatment. A dermatologist can find the cause.
Hair loss & thinning
Why is my hair falling out?
It may be due to hormones, vitamin deficiency, genetics or stress. Your doctor identifies the cause after examination.
Is hair loss reversible?
Some types, such as shedding after stress or illness, often recover. Genetic hair loss can be slowed and improved with treatment.
How many PRP sessions are needed?
Usually 3–4 sessions about a month apart, then maintenance, depending on your response.
Do I need blood tests?
Often, yes — they help identify causes such as low iron or thyroid problems.
Is it suitable for women?
Yes. Female-pattern hair loss and shedding are common and treatable.
Scalp & dandruff
Is dandruff caused by a dry scalp?
Not usually. Dandruff is often linked to oil and a common yeast on the scalp, which is why medicated shampoos help.
Can dandruff cause hair loss?
Severe inflammation and scratching can contribute to shedding; treating the scalp helps.
How often should I wash my hair?
This depends on your scalp; your dermatologist will give a routine that suits you.
When should I see a doctor?
If symptoms persist despite anti-dandruff shampoo, or there is redness, pain or hair loss.
Unwanted dark hair
How many laser sessions do I need?
Usually 6 to 8 sessions, depending on hair colour, thickness and area.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser gives long-term hair reduction rather than a guarantee that every hair is gone. Maintenance may be needed.
How many sessions will I need?
Commonly 6–8 sessions, depending on the area, hair and skin type.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel a quick snap; Candela's cooling system makes sessions more comfortable.
Is it suitable for men?
Yes — for the back, chest, shoulders, beard line and neck.
White & grey hair
How many electrolysis sessions are needed?
It depends on the number of hairs and the area. Several short sessions are usually needed.
Is electrolysis painful?
Most people feel a brief sting or warmth with each hair; it is well tolerated in small areas.
Can I have laser and electrolysis together?
Yes — laser for darker hairs and electrolysis for the light ones, planned by your practitioner.
Is it suitable for the face?
Yes — especially the chin, upper lip, jawline, sideburns and neck.
Localised fat
Slimming versus liposuction?
Slimming is non-surgical and gradual, while liposuction is a surgical procedure removing fat directly. Your doctor will assess which suits you.
Will these treatments help me lose weight?
They are designed for shape, not weight loss. They work best close to your ideal weight.
Is the fat reduction permanent?
Treated fat cells don't usually return, but remaining cells can grow with weight gain, so a stable lifestyle matters.
How many non-surgical sessions are needed?
Usually a course of 6–10 sessions, depending on the area and technology.
When is liposuction better?
When there is a larger amount of fat or you want a more noticeable change in one procedure.
Body contouring
How do I choose between options?
Start with a free consultation where the doctor assesses your body and goals and recommends the best option.
Is body contouring the same as weight loss?
No. It refines shape and areas; it isn't a substitute for nutrition, exercise or weight-loss treatment.
When will I see results?
Non-surgical results build over 6–12 weeks; surgical results become clear as swelling settles over a few months.
Can I combine treatments?
Yes — combining technologies usually gives a more complete result.
Is it suitable for men?
Yes. Programs are tailored to both men and women.
Cellulite
Does cellulite disappear permanently?
Its appearance can improve noticeably and maintenance may be needed. Results vary between people.
Can cellulite be completely removed?
No treatment guarantees complete removal; the aim is a visibly smoother appearance.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually a course of 6–10 sessions, followed by maintenance.
Does weight loss get rid of cellulite?
It can help, but cellulite also affects slim people, so targeted treatment is often needed.
Is there any downtime?
Most cellulite treatments have no downtime.
Muscle tone & definition
Does EMS replace exercise?
No. It complements exercise and helps target specific areas.
How many sessions are needed?
Typically 4–8 sessions, with maintenance afterwards.
What does it feel like?
Strong muscle contractions, like an intense workout, but not painful.
Who shouldn't have EMS?
People with pacemakers, metal implants in the area or during pregnancy. Suitability is checked at consultation.
Fluid retention & heaviness
How soon will I feel lighter?
Many people feel lighter after the first session; a short course gives longer-lasting comfort.
Is lymphatic drainage painful?
No. It uses gentle, rhythmic movements.
Does it help with weight loss?
It reduces temporary fluid, not fat.
How often should I book?
Weekly sessions are common during a program, then as needed.
Loose skin after weight loss
Can exercise tighten loose skin?
Exercise tones muscle but cannot remove excess skin.
How do I know if I need surgery?
If skin hangs or folds, surgery is usually needed. A consultation will tell you.
Will there be scars?
Surgical skin removal leaves scars, placed as discreetly as possible; they fade over time.
How long should I wait after weight loss?
Usually until your weight has been stable for around 6 months.
Facial ageing & sagging
How long does a facelift last?
Results are long-lasting — often many years — though natural ageing continues.
What is the recovery like?
Most people return to normal activities in about 2 weeks; swelling settles over several weeks.
Am I a candidate for non-surgical lifting?
If laxity is mild to moderate, non-surgical options can work well. Your doctor will advise honestly.
Will I look natural?
Our approach aims for a refreshed, natural look rather than a pulled appearance.
Heavy or puffy eyelids
Is eyelid surgery painful?
Discomfort is usually mild and controlled with simple pain relief.
Will the scars show?
They are placed in natural creases and fade to fine lines.
How long do results last?
