Your questions answered
Questions, answered.
Are skin boosters the same as dermal fillers?
The intended treatment goal often differs. Skin boosters generally focus on skin quality, while contouring fillers are used for volume or shape. Some products overlap, so the exact formulation matters.
How are they different from a skin hydrator?
The names can overlap. Marie will explain the actual products, how they are used and why one may be recommended for you.
When will I see a change?
Timing, the extent of any improvement and its duration vary. Marie will discuss expectations for the selected product.
Do I need to know which treatment I want?
No. Bring your questions and describe what you would like to discuss. Marie will help you understand the available options.
