Honest risks
- Bruising and swelling at draw and injection sites
- Subtle, natural-pace results — not a filler replacement
- Multiple sessions before you judge it
Are you a good candidate?
- Under-eye hollows, early hair thinning, skin quality
- Wanting a natural, no-synthetic option
- Patient with gradual results
Six questions for every consult
- Are you board-certified, and in what specialty? (Verify it — don't just ask.)
- How many of this exact procedure did you do in the last 12 months?
- Can I see before/afters of patients with my anatomy or skin type?
- Who handles complications, and what's your revision policy and fee?
- Where is the procedure done, and is the facility accredited?
- What results would you consider realistic for me — and what won't this fix?
