Question 1

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Tox is a few seconds of tiny pinches and most people are surprised by how little it is. Filler is more of a pressure feeling than a pain, and we numb first. Lips are the most sensitive spot, and even there, most patients handle it far better than they expected to.

Question 2

Will people be able to tell?

Accepted Answer

They'll tell that something is different. They usually won't be able to say what. That's the whole goal, and it's why I start conservatively rather than doing everything at once.

Question 3

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends entirely on what you actually need, which is what the consultation is for. Tell me your budget in the room. I'd much rather build a plan that fits it than quote you something you have to politely decline.

Question 4

Do I have to get treated at my consultation?

Accepted Answer

No. Plenty of people consult, go home, and think about it for a few weeks. Some never come back and that's genuinely fine. You'll never get a hard sell from me.

Question 5

I'm scared of looking overdone. Is that reasonable?

Accepted Answer

Completely, and it's the fear I hear most. Overdone almost never happens in one conservative appointment. It happens gradually, over years, when nobody stops to compare against where you started. I take photos so we can.

Question 6

How long until I see something?

Accepted Answer

Filler you'll see immediately, though swelling hides the real result for about two weeks. Tox takes three to five days to start and about two weeks to finish, so don't judge it on day four.

Question 7

What if I don't like it?

Accepted Answer

Come back and tell me. With tox we can often adjust at two weeks, and it wears off regardless. Most hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved if it really comes to that. Say something rather than sitting at home unhappy.

Question 8

Am I too young or too old to start?

Accepted Answer

Neither of those is really the question. What matters is what's bothering you and whether a treatment would actually address it. I've told twenty-somethings to wait, and I've treated patients in their seventies who got a lovely result.

Question 9

Can I come back to you specifically?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and I'd prefer it. Seeing the same injector matters more than people realize, because I know what I put where and how your face responded last time.

Question 10

How often will I need to come back?

Accepted Answer

Tox is usually every three to four months. Filler is anywhere from six months to well over a year depending on the product and the area. Nothing here is a commitment. It all wears off on its own if you stop.

Question 11

Can I just text to book?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Text (610) 349-6390 and ask for Sally. That reaches the Meesha front desk in Allentown rather than me directly, so give them a day or so. If you would rather sort it yourself at midnight, the online scheduler is faster.

Question 12

Where do you see patients?

Accepted Answer

I'm at Meesha Aesthetics in Allentown, and appointments with me are booked through Meesha's scheduler. I also see patients in Coopersburg, and those visits are arranged by phone.

Question 13

What should I do before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Skip alcohol the night before and, if it's medically fine for you, hold off on fish oil and anti-inflammatories for a few days. Both make bruising more likely. Come with a clean face and your questions.
