Frequently Asked Questions

The best way to determine which treatment suits your needs is through a personal consultation. During this appointment, we will discuss your concerns, examine the area you wish to treat, review your medical history and recommend suitable options tailored to your individual goals. We encourage you to ask questions and share any preferences you may have.

Yes. All treatments at Kiara Medical Aesthetics Center require a consultation beforehand. This ensures the treatment is appropriate for you, allows us to explain potential benefits and any risks, and gives you the opportunity to make an informed decision. A consultation also allows us to review your medical history and identify any factors that may affect treatment suitability.

Comfort levels vary depending on the treatment, the area being treated and individual pain tolerance. Most non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments involve only mild, temporary sensations. We prioritize patient comfort and can discuss pain management options—such as topical numbing—during your consultation.

Appointment duration varies by treatment type. An initial consultation typically takes 30–45 minutes. Treatment sessions can range from 15 minutes for quick injectable treatments to 60 minutes or longer for facials, laser sessions or body contouring. Your clinician will advise on the expected duration when you book.

Downtime varies significantly between treatments. Some—like HydraFacial or LED therapy—have no downtime and you can return to normal activities immediately. Others—such as deeper chemical peels or laser resurfacing—may involve several days of visible redness or peeling. Your clinician will provide clear expectations about downtime during your consultation.

Results timing depends on the treatment. Some treatments—such as dermal fillers—show immediate visible improvement. Others—like anti-wrinkle injections—take a few days to become apparent. Treatments that stimulate collagen—such as microneedling or skin boosters—develop gradually over several weeks to months. A realistic timeline will be discussed during your consultation.

The duration of results varies by treatment, the area treated and individual factors such as metabolism, skin type and lifestyle. For example, anti-wrinkle injections may last 3–4 months, dermal fillers may last 6–18 months, and laser hair reduction results can be long-lasting with maintenance. Most aesthetic treatments are not permanent and maintenance sessions are typically recommended.

The recommended number of sessions depends on the treatment, your goals and how your body responds. Laser hair removal typically requires 6–8 sessions. Body contouring may require 4–8 sessions. Skin treatments often work best as a course. A personalized treatment plan with an estimated number of sessions will be provided during your consultation.

Many treatments can be safely combined, but this depends on the specific treatments, the areas involved and your individual circumstances. Some combinations may be performed in the same session while others are best spaced apart. Your clinician will advise on safe treatment combinations during your consultation.

Before injectable treatments, you may be advised to avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications and supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil and vitamin E) for a period before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising. You will receive specific pre-treatment guidance when you book.

After laser treatment, you should generally avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, hot showers, saunas, strenuous exercise and certain skincare products for a recommended period. Sunscreen use is essential. Specific aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment will be provided.

Modern laser technology can treat a range of skin types safely, but suitability depends on the specific device, your skin type and the concern being addressed. A skin assessment and patch test may be recommended before treatment. Your clinician will determine suitability during consultation.

Certain medical conditions, medications, skin conditions and life stages may mean that aesthetic treatments are not suitable—or should be postponed. This includes pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infections, certain autoimmune conditions and use of specific medications. A full medical history review is an essential part of every consultation.

Most aesthetic treatments—including injectables, laser treatments and certain chemical peels—are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform us during your consultation so we can advise accordingly.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood. Platelets contain growth factors that may support tissue repair and regeneration. In aesthetic medicine, PRP is used in selected skin rejuvenation programs (often combined with microneedling) and hair retention treatments.

Body contouring treatments are designed to target specific, localized areas of stubborn fat or skin laxity—not to achieve overall weight loss. They are most suitable for individuals close to their ideal body weight who have areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. A healthy lifestyle supports and prolongs body contouring results.
