Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Expertly Answered
At The Aesthetic Plan, informed patients are empowered patients. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about our treatments, so you can feel confident and educated about your options.
Injectables & Fillers
What’s the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox is designed to relax muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines, by reducing muscle movement. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, restore volume, smooth out static lines, and contour areas like the cheeks, lips, and jawline.
Will Botox make my face look frozen or unnatural?
Not when performed by highly trained medical experts like those at The Aesthetic Plan. Our goal is to create subtle, natural-looking results—you’ll still look like yourself, just refreshed and rejuvenated.
Why does The Aesthetic Plan use facial ultrasound before injecting fillers?
Facial ultrasound imaging ensures the safest and most precise filler placement. This advanced technology helps us avoid arteries and other critical structures, reducing the risk of complications. In the rare case of vascular occlusion, ultrasound allows us to quickly identify and treat the area to restore proper blood flow, ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes.
Hair Restoration
What causes hair loss?
Hair loss is typically caused by a combination of genetics, aging, hormonal changes, and sometimes stress or illness. Diet and certain medications may also contribute. Despite common myths, hair loss is not solely inherited from the maternal side and can affect both men and women.
What are the key ingredients in Nutrafol?
Nutrafol contains a proprietary blend of natural ingredients including curcumin, saw palmetto, piperine, collagen, resveratrol, horsetail, kelp, and ashwagandha (Indian ginseng).
Does Nutrafol work for everyone?
Nutrafol is most effective for individuals with mild to moderate hair thinning. It is less likely to show significant results for advanced stages of hair loss.
Body Contouring & Liposuction
Who is a good candidate for liposuction?
Ideal candidates for liposuction are individuals who are at a stable weight, lead a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and exercise, and have no major health concerns. Candidates should avoid smoking and alcohol misuse.
How much fat can be removed during liposuction?
Generally, three to five liters of fat can be safely removed during a single liposuction session.
Will I lose weight with body contouring treatments?
Body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting and TruSculpt target stubborn fat but are not weight-loss solutions. These treatments are ideal for refining specific areas and improving overall shape in individuals close to their target weight.
Who is a good candidate for TruSculpt iD and TruSculpt FLEX?
TruSculpt treatments are best suited for individuals already following a healthy lifestyle with consistent exercise and nutrition, looking to target specific areas of fat or enhance muscle tone.
Sexual Wellness
Who is a candidate for sexual health treatments?
Patients experiencing sexual dysfunction—including low libido, difficulty with arousal, orgasm issues, or pain during intimacy—may benefit from our advanced sexual wellness therapies.
Regenerative Medicine
Is regenerative medicine safe?
Yes. Regenerative medicine is a safe and natural approach that leverages the body’s own healing capabilities to restore and repair tissues.
Who is a good candidate for regenerative medicine therapies?
Ideal candidates are individuals who have exhausted traditional treatments for their condition and seek a natural alternative to support healing and regeneration.
What are the four main types of regenerative medicine therapies?
- Adipose-derived stem cell treatments
- Cartilage regeneration therapies
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
- Prolotherapy
