FAQ Questions, answered

A twenty to thirty minute consultation. Dr. Fehmida examines your skin, hair or body, asks about your history and goals, and explains the cause of what you are seeing before recommending anything. Some treatments can start the same day; others need a test patch or blood work first.

Yes. Men make up a large share of patients for hair restoration, body contouring, acne, sweating and laser hair removal, and every treatment on the site is available to them.

It depends on the treatment. Many, including Botox, HydraFacial, Emsculpt and most lasers, have none. Resurfacing lasers, deeper peels and threads have a few days of redness or swelling. Each treatment page lists its downtime honestly.

Common side effects are temporary: redness, swelling, small bruises, mild tenderness. Serious side effects are rare and are minimised by correct diagnosis, sterile technique and doctor-set parameters. Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible. You will be told the specific risks of your treatment before you consent.

Pricing depends on the treatment, the area and the number of sessions, so it is quoted at the consultation or on WhatsApp. Course pricing is available for treatments that need several sessions.

Often the best plan is a combination, for example Botox with a skin booster, or Emsculpt with Cooltech. Dr. Fehmida sequences treatments so they support each other and so downtime is minimised.

Start from the concern rather than the treatment. The Concerns pages explain the causes and the options, and the consultation decides. You can also ask the Skin Concierge on any page for a first steer.
