    Absolutely! While wrinkles are often what people think neurotoxin can treat, there is also other areas in which botulinum toxin injections can assist in symptom management. If you suffer with teeth clenching you might benefit from masseter injections- which aim to relax this overactive muscle. This treatment also leads to jawline slimming effects over time. Chin dimpling, often seen when frowning, can be relaxed with tox strategically placed into the lower chin. Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can lead to embarrassing wetness often in the underarms. Botulinum toxin can be used to treat excessive sweating. This dermal injection treatment generally lasts 6-9 months, or more, and is easily performed in office to each underarm. Research shows that botulinum toxin treatment is 82-87% effective in treating the symptoms of hyperhidrosis.

  • How soon will I see results with dermal filler?

  • How old do you have to be to get Dermal Filler?
    HA Dermal Fillers are a suitable treatment for anyone struggling with the loss of facial volume or wrinkles, as long as they’re 22 years of age or older. Whether you are looking to reverse moderate facial lines in your 30s & 40s or combat the early signs of wrinkles in your 20s, HA Fillers can provide the desired enhanced results.
  • How many treatments of Sculptra will I need?
    On average, a series of three treatment sessions over the course of a few months may be needed. The number of injections at each session will vary, depending on the degree of correction needed and the treatment plan determined by you and your specialist.
  • How quick will I see collagen build with Sculptra?
    Sculptra is designed to give you noticeable results that emerge gradually and can last up to two years. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t see immediate results. A few days after treatment, you may look as you did before treatment. This is normal and temporary. The Sculptra regimen delivers its full effects with an average of three treatment sessions over the course of a few months. Because results happen gradually, you’ll see subtle, yet noticeable, results in the reduction of facial wrinkles and folds by comparing images before treatment and a couple months following treatment. Results are typically seen within a few weeks post-treatment with optimal results around 12 weeks. These results can last for up to 2-3 years. Sculptra may be especially well suited for younger patients- those in their 30's or early 40's who are just seeing the first signs of collagen depletion and volume loss.
  • What should I expect at the consultation?
    If interested in fillers, you must schedule a complimentary consultation at Bloom Medical Aesthetics first. This allows for a discussion of goals, expectations, risks, investment, products, as well as it allows for individualized treatment plans. No treatment for filler will be provided during a filler consultation. Often times more than one treatment modality is recommended, such as combining neurotoxin & dermal fillers for optimal results. You can schedule your filler appointment for a future date at the end of the consult, or go home and think on the discussion and plan. We never want you to feel rushed in making a decision. At Bloom Medical Aesthetics we do NOT inject filler in noses, between the brows or in foreheads. These areas are considered higher risk for serious complications and should not be taken lightly.
  • Do you treat men and women?
    Yes, almost anyone 18 years and older that is dealing with being overweight & obesity qualifies for this treatment program. To learn more, and find out if you are a candidate, please schedule a free consultation at Bloom Medical Aesthetics.
  • How much weight should I expect to lose?
    Each person is different, and their goals may vary. Typically, studies have been showing individuals loose anywhere from 1-3 pounds per week of healthy weight loss after following a 12 week program that combines with eating well and exercise.
  • Will I need to watch what I eat and workout?
    As with any weight loss program, making healthy food choices, and exercise are essential to improved success and better results. This program does not deprive you of things you love, but encourages better choices for your overall health & wellness. Focusing on protein and ensuring proper water intake are emphasized for longterm wellness. Often times with restored energy, clients feel more inclined to move, to exercise, to go for a walk, thus increasing results. Here at Bloom we encourage weight lifting to maintain and build muscle mass. Ask about some of our local recommendations for your fitness journey.
