What is the difference between Botox and Dermal Fillers?

While both are injectables, they solve different concerns. Botox relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, like forehead lines and crow's feet. In contrast, Dermal Fillers restore lost volume and smooth out static wrinkles by "filling" the skin from beneath.

Will Botox injections make my face look "frozen"?

At Skin Renewal Clinic, we prioritize a natural, refreshed appearance. Our experienced providers use precise dosing to soften deep lines while ensuring you maintain your ability to make facial expressions. The goal is to look like a younger version of yourself, not a different person.

How long do the results of Botox and Fillers actually last?

Botox typically lasts between 3 to 4 months. Dermal Fillers are longer-lasting, often remaining visible for 6 to 18 months depending on the specific product used and the area treated. Regular maintenance appointments help sustain your youthful glow year-round.

Is Microneedling painful, and what is the recovery like?

Most patients describe Micro-needling as a sensation similar to sandpaper moving across the skin. We apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. You may experience mild redness-similar to a light sunburn-for 24 to 48 hours, but there is virtually no downtime.

How many sessions of Microneedling will I need to see results?

While you may notice a "glow" after just one session at Skin Renewal Clinic, we generally recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This timeline allows your skin's natural collagen production to fully repair scars and fine lines.

What makes ThermiSmooth different from other wrinkle treatments?

ThermiSmooth uses temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy to gently heat the skin. Unlike lasers or surgery, it is entirely non-invasive and feels like a warm massage. It is specifically designed to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles in delicate areas, such as around the eyes.

Can I combine different treatments in one visit?

Yes! Many of our clients achieve the best results by combining Dermal Fillers for volume with Botox for wrinkle relaxation. During your consultation, we will create a personalized plan to address your specific skin concerns using our 23 years of industry expertise.

Are these skin renewal treatments safe for all skin types?

Most of our services, including Micro-needling and ThermiSmooth, are safe and effective for all skin tones. Because these treatments do not use harsh chemicals or aggressive lasers, they carry a lower risk of pigmentation issues compared to more invasive procedures.

Are there any specific pre-treatment instructions I should follow?

To minimize the chance of bruising, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications or supplements (like aspirin, ibuprofen, or Vitamin E) for about a week before your appointment at Skin Renewal Clinic. It is also best to avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to receiving injectables.

What is the "social downtime" for these procedures?

Most of our treatments, including ThermiSmooth, allow you to return to work or social activities immediately. For Micro-needling, you may look slightly flushed for a day or two-often described as a healthy glow or a light sunburn-but this is easily managed with post-care serums we provide.

How do I know which filler is right for me?

Not all fillers are created equal. Some are designed for structural support in the cheeks, while others are soft and flexible for the lips. During your consultation in Flint, we assess your bone structure and skin elasticity to select the perfect product from our specialized Dermal Fillers range.
