Skin care questions
Read about treatment planning, prices and questions to discuss at your appointment.
- 01Focused ultrasound or radiofrequency?Radiofrequency warms broadly and evenly. Focused ultrasound concentrates energy at selected points below the surface. Why that difference settles less than people expect.
- 02IPL or laser hair removal: which do I need?Service names can sound similar. Clarify the purpose of the appointment and the equipment used before booking.
- 03What does laser hair removal cost in Oakville?Check the listed area and session price, then ask how further appointments would be planned.
- 04What happens at my first laser hair removal?The assessment that comes first, how to prepare in the weeks before, and what is normal in the days after.
- 05Will laser hair removal work for my skin tone?Why skin and hair characteristics belong in the assessment before a treatment plan is discussed.
- 06How do I care for my skin after microneedling?Confirm your aftercare instructions, product use and what to do if you are concerned during recovery.
- 07What does radiofrequency cost in Oakville?Compare listed session prices and ask what the proposed appointment schedule means for the total cost.
- 08Red light or blue light: how is it chosen?Ask how the proposed LED setting relates to your assessment and where the service fits in the appointment.
- 09What happens at a $75 consultation?What to prepare, what to discuss and which costs to confirm at your first visit.
- 10What happens during a facial?A guide to discussing your skin, confirming the service and asking about care afterwards.
- 11What is an IPL skin treatment?What to ask about the service, individual suitability and the care around an appointment.
- 12What can radiofrequency actually do?Warmth is the mechanism. What that is good for, what it honestly cannot do, and how a course is structured.
- 13What can VISIA imaging show about my skin?How to discuss the images and measurements without treating a score as a treatment recommendation.
- 14Which facial is right for me?Compare the service content and price, then discuss whether it suits your current skin condition.
- 15Why do spots look darker right after IPL?A change in colour needs to be considered alongside timing, discomfort and other skin changes.
- 16Should I have IPL or microneedling?One works on colour, the other on texture. The candidacy question that applies to only one of them, and why a tan changes both answers.
- 17How many microneedling sessions do I need?Most plans run three to six sessions. What moves that number, and when the answer is none at all.
