FAQ's
What happens durng my initial consultation?
During your consultation we will discuss your desired goals and expectations, review your medical history and current health, and make an assessment to which treatments are right for you. This is a good time to ask specific questions about the procedure or treatments you are interested in. We will then create a treatment plan that is in alignment with your desired goals.

As we are a medical spa, we require new patients to fill out a brief medical history information and consent form.If you are scheduled for an appointment that requires numbing, we request that you arrive a minimum of 30 minutes prior to your appointment.
What is your cancellation policy?
Should you need to cancel, please contact us 12 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment. All cancellations with less than 12 hours notice or no-shows will result in charges of medical spa in the amount of $25, spa appointments will be charged full treatment price.

What if I am late for my appointment?
