Question 1

Question 2

Can I receive botox and a facial on the same day?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Your facial treatment will occur first, and your tox treatment will follow. This will optimize the precise placement of your wrinkle relaxer for the best results.
Let us know you would like to enjoy a skin care treatment on the same day as your toxin and we will coordinate accordingly!

Question 3

Can I get laser if I am tan?

Accepted Answer

Natural tanning and laser are not best of friends. 
We recommend waiting until your tan has faded before receiving your treatment. Spray tans also need to be gone before laser treatments. We suggest discontinuing spray tanning at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment.

Question 4

Can filler be dissolved?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our board-certified providers can assess and dissolve filler, if necessary.

Question 5

Can botox/dysport be dissolved?

Accepted Answer

Botox/Dysport cannot be reversed, but our experienced providers strive to achieve a natural, desired look. They take great care of their patients as to not over inject...most of us with our tox would last forever! ;) If, for some reason, you aren't a fan of tox, that is ok too! All results fade and natural baseline muscle movement returns after about 2-4 months.

Question 6

My VI peel didn’t peel as much as I thought, is there something wrong?

Accepted Answer

Healthy, hydrated skin may not peel as much as damaged dry skin. It depends on the individual and your skin condition at the time of your peel. 
Dramatic peeling or not, know that your chemical peel is still working its magic!  Curious about peels? Ask us which one is right for you!

Question 7

Do I need to wear SPF year-round?

Accepted Answer

100% Yes! Sunscreen is a must all year long. Even if the sun is not out, indoor lights can cause fine lines and wrinkles. Our sunscreen picks are so fabulous that we look forward to applying them each day.  Find your new fave at SkinCoLAB!

Question 8

Sculptra: who can receive it, is it different from filler?

Accepted Answer

Sculptra helps stimulate natural collagen that is lost when we age to help give the skin structure whereas HA Filler focuses on filling lines and specific anatomic regions (ie: cheek, lip, tear trough, a particular fine line).  Filler results are noted immediately and results last 6 months-18 months. 
Sculptra stimulates collagen to restore skin foundations.  Regions of treatment are typically broader in nature (ie: temple, lower face, jawline).  The result of Sculptra is typically observed over 2-3 months as it takes time for the collagen to build.  Sculptra may be done as a stand-alone or as a series of treatments.  Results last up to 2 years.

Question 9

What are the benefits of dermaplaning at Skin CoLAB?

Accepted Answer

A: Dermaplaning at Skin CoLAB, specifically with our SCL Facial Dermaplane treatment, offers multiple benefits. It effectively exfoliates the skin, removing the layer of hair (often referred to as "peach fuzz") as well as superficial dead skin cells, resulting in smoother and brighter skin. This process also allows for better absorption of skincare products and smoother makeup application. Our dermaplaning treatment not only improves the texture and tone of the skin but also enhances the overall efficacy of your skincare routine. Our trained professionals at Skin CoLAB use a gentle and precise technique to ensure a comfortable and effective dermaplaning experience for our clients.

Our InterFuse Intensive Treatment Lines is a favorite topical skincare product that can be used morning and night to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the lips. Additionally, we offer Botox/Dysport treatments specifically targeted to address lip lines.

This treatment effectively increases the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin by creating micro-punctures in the skin.
