Frequently Asked Questions — Medical Aesthetics
How long does Botox last? When should Botox be repeated?
After Botox treatment, the effect becomes noticeable within 5-7 days and fully settles in 2 weeks. The average duration of effect is 3-6 months; the treatment area (forehead, glabella, crow's feet, masseter) and individual metabolism influence this duration. A natural and fresh appearance can be maintained with regular repeat treatments. A consultation is recommended for an accurate timeline.
Is filler painful? What is the recovery time after fillers?
In hyaluronic acid filler treatments, topical and local anesthesia are used, so most patients only feel mild stinging or pressure. Mild swelling is normal within 24-48 hours after the procedure and largely subsides within 2-5 days. Cold compresses and the aftercare instructions provided by your physician will speed up recovery.
Who is PRP treatment suitable for? Are there PRP side effects?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is commonly used for facial rejuvenation, hair loss treatment, and joint (knee) problems. The procedure is postponed in cases of pregnancy, breastfeeding, blood disorders, or blood thinner use. A consultation is required to determine eligibility and session planning.
Can I go out in the sun after a chemical peel? What should aftercare look like?
Sunscreen use (SPF 30-50, broad spectrum) is mandatory after a chemical peel. Direct sun exposure increases the risk of pigmentation and uneven skin tone. Makeup and heavy cosmetic products should be limited until peeling is complete.
Can Botox and fillers be done on the same day?
Yes. Botox and fillers can be safely performed on the same day. Generally, fillers are done first, followed by Botox; this way, the area shaped by the filler is preserved. The combination decision is made on a case-by-case basis after a physician consultation.
How are medical aesthetics prices determined in 2026?
Medical aesthetics prices vary depending on the type of treatment (Botox, fillers, mesotherapy, PRP, thread lift, etc.), the area, the amount of product used, and the clinic. A consultation and written quote are recommended for exact pricing and payment options.
Can Botox or fillers be done during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. Botox, fillers, mesotherapy, PRP, and laser aesthetic treatments are postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding for safety reasons. This condition must be communicated to your physician before treatment planning.
Should blood thinners (aspirin, etc.) be stopped before the procedure?
Be sure to inform your physician about all medications you are taking (including blood thinners such as aspirin, warfarin, etc.). With your doctor's approval, you may be asked to stop certain medications for a specific period before the procedure; do not discontinue any medication on your own.
Are fillers permanent? How long does hyaluronic acid filler last?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are not permanent; their effect duration ranges from approximately 6-18 months depending on the area and product type. In case of an undesirable result, they can be dissolved with hyaluronidase enzyme. Biostimulant fillers can sustain effects for up to 18-24 months through collagen stimulation.
How many mesotherapy sessions are needed? What is the difference between facial and hair mesotherapy?
For facial mesotherapy, 6-8 sessions (every 2 weeks) are generally recommended; for hair mesotherapy, 4-6 sessions (every 2-3 weeks) are suggested. Results are maintained with follow-up maintenance sessions.
What happens at the first appointment? Is there a consultation fee?
At your first appointment, your concerns and expectations are discussed, and the face or relevant area is examined. Suitable treatment options and estimated price ranges are explained. You can contact us through our communication channels for information about consultation fees and appointment conditions.
What should aftercare look like after a thread lift (PDO)?
After a thread lift, avoid touching the treated area and do not massage it for the first 24 hours. Do not sleep face-down; cold compresses help reduce swelling. Postpone makeup for 24-48 hours; heavy exercise and sauna are not recommended for 48-72 hours.
