Patient Questions

• Will I be able to undergo a procedure during my first visit?

  Yes. The first appointment always begins with a consultation and medical interview, followed by the possibility of undergoing the procedure during the same visit.

• Is a phone or online consultation possible?

  We work with patients exclusively in person; we do not provide online or telephone consultations. To properly determine which product or treatment would be suitable for your skin, it is always necessary to meet in person and assess how the skin “works” during speech, facial expressions, etc.

• How long does the visit take?

  The first visit is scheduled for approximately one hour, including the time required for the procedure. Of course, the doctor will spend as much time with you as needed and answer all your questions.

• Can I bring a companion to my appointment?

  Yes, but the medical consultation is conducted privately with the patient. The companion may wait comfortably in the reception area.

• Should I choose a specific procedure before booking an appointment?

  No, the doctor will help determine the best procedure for you during the consultation.

• Is parking available at the clinic?

  Yes. The clinic is located in a gated community where you can park near the building. Additionally, we have reserved parking spaces on the upper parking lot for our patients. The day before your visit, you will receive an email with detailed directions and parking information.

• Is the consultation charged separately?

  No, if a procedure is performed on the same day, the consultation is included in the treatment price.

• Are laser treatments performed at the clinic?

  No, at Doctor Monika’s clinic, we perform only needle-based injection treatments. We do not provide laser treatments.

• Can I have a consultation with one doctor and continue treatment with another?

• Will I receive a discount if I undergo multiple treatments at once?

  No, treatment prices are fixed.

• Can I fly on the same day after a procedure?

  Yes. After any procedure performed at our clinic, you can safely travel by plane.

• Can I fill a wrinkle with hyaluronic acid?

  Yes, but according to protocol, during the first visit, we focus on facial muscles to prevent wrinkles from deepening and forming creases. This also helps smooth existing wrinkles. If additional filling is needed, it can be performed two weeks after the initial procedure.

• How long should I wait before undergoing treatments after taking antibiotics?

  We recommend waiting at least two weeks after completing antibiotic treatment to allow the body to fully recover. However, consult your doctor, as the waiting time may vary depending on the type of antibiotic and procedure.

• What are the contraindications for treatment?

  Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infections, autoimmune diseases, keloid scarring tendencies, blood-thinning medications, and certain chronic conditions. A complete list of contraindications is discussed during the consultation, as they may vary depending on the specific treatment.

• Are treatments performed under anesthesia?

  Yes, most treatments that may cause discomfort are performed with local anesthesia (e.g., numbing cream).

• Are there discounts, promotions, or treatment packages?

  No, treatment prices are fixed. Every patient pays the full treatment price according to the price list.

• Can I use the remaining product from one treatment on another area within the same price?

  No, treatment prices are fixed. The amounts listed in the price list apply to the procedure for the specified area only.

• Can I come to my appointment wearing makeup?

  We recommend arriving without makeup, as the skin should be clean for examination and treatment. If this is not possible, you can remove your makeup in the restroom, where all necessary cleansing products are provided.

• How will I look immediately after the procedure?

  Right after the procedure, your skin may be slightly red, swollen, or have minor bruising. These symptoms usually subside within a few days.
