The most common questions.
General answers to help you decide. None of them replace a consultation: the indication is always medical.
General questions
Do I need a consultation before any treatment?+
Yes. The indication and the plan are always set out in an assessment consultation, after understanding your skin, history and goals.
Are the treatments personalized?+
Always. Every plan is built for the short and medium term and delivered in writing, with no one-off sessions and no sales pressure.
Where do consultations take place?+
In Lisbon and in Cascais. The location can be chosen when booking.
Fotona laser and resurfacing
What is Fotona Contour?+
A deep-resurfacing protocol with Er:YAG laser, developed by Dr. Miguel, to work on skin quality while preserving naturalness.
What is the recovery time for deep resurfacing?+
About 10 days in the case of Fotona Contour, with post-treatment care and sun protection. It varies from person to person.
Can laser be done on sensitive skin?+
The indication is assessed case by case. Training in Allergy and Immunology makes it possible to weigh up the skin's reactivity before treating.
HIFU and firmness
Does HIFU replace a facelift?+
No. Surgery repositions tissue; technologies such as HIFU and laser work on skin firmness and quality. They are different approaches.
When does it make sense to treat firmness?+
It depends on the facial assessment. The goal is to naturally improve firmness and texture, within a plan.
Microneedling, PRP and injectables
Do injectables give an artificial look?+
That's not the goal. Dosage and technique are designed to preserve facial expression and harmony.
Filler or biostimulator?+
Adding volume now or stimulating the skin long-term are different approaches; the choice depends on your goal and is made in consultation.
Longevity and ongoing care
Are the results permanent?+
They vary depending on the treatment and individual response. Many results benefit from maintenance and ongoing skin care.
Do I need to keep up maintenance?+
Often yes. The plan sets out the right frequency to sustain results over time.
