The treatment is minimally invasive and generally causes only mild discomfort.

What are the possible side effects of Botox treatment?

Accepted Answer

Possible side effects include slight swelling or redness at the injection site, which usually disappears within a few hours.

Question 9

How long does the effect of a Thermage treatment last?

Accepted Answer

The results typically last between 2-5 years, depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle. An annual touch-up can prolong the results.

Question 10

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

Accepted Answer

No, Thermage is a gentle procedure with no downtime. You can return to your usual activities immediately and remain presentable.

Question 11

Question 37

Will insurance cover the cost of an upper eyelid lift?

This requires a perimetry (visual field test) from an eye doctor and pre-approval from the insurance company. Please note: processing with the insurer must be handled by the patient. The operation can then also be performed in a private hospital.
