FAQs

We offer complimentary consultations with a cosmetic injector to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, review your anatomy, and outline suitable options. This allows us to provide an accurate quote and ensure you feel informed and prepared before proceeding with treatment.

After your consultation, you’ll receive a list of personalized pre-treatment instructions to follow at home. You can also refer to the guidelines outlined on our Before your appointment page for additional preparation details.

We take steps to make treatments as comfortable as possible. Sensitivity can vary depending on the area being treated and your individual pain tolerance. To help minimize discomfort, we use a combination of topical anesthetic, ice, vibration, and distraction techniques. Most clients find the injections to be minimally uncomfortable.

Neuromodulator injections like Botox® have been extensively studied and used for decades. Botox® was first approved for therapeutic use in 1989. Its manufacturer, Allergan, later expanded research into aesthetic applications, which were approved in 2002. Since then, it has become one of the most widely researched cosmetic treatments worldwide. Its use is supported by many years of clinical experience and hundreds of peer-reviewed medical studies.

Dermal fillers such as Juvederm® have been widely used in aesthetic care for many years. As with any injectable treatment, safety and suitability depend on individual factors. A consultation with a qualified cosmetic injector allows time to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.

At Revive Skincare, we take a careful, individualized approach to treatment planning. Injection techniques are selected based on clinical training and facial anatomy, with the goal of supporting balanced, natural-looking results.

When used thoughtfully, Botox® Cosmetic is intended to create subtle, natural-looking changes rather than a stiff or “frozen” appearance. Results can vary from person to person, which is why treatment plans are tailored to individual facial movement and goals. At Revive Skincare, we take a conservative approach to help maintain natural expression and reduce the risk of an overtreated look.

Initial effects may begin to appear within several days, with full results typically developing over about two weeks. Timing can vary depending on the individual and the areas treated.

Results typically last around three to four months. Duration can vary from person to person, and some individuals may notice longer-lasting effects with repeated treatments over time.

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating, most commonly affecting areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, groin, or hairline. In some cases, neuromodulator injections like Botox® may be used to help reduce sweating by temporarily blocking the signals that stimulate sweat glands in the treated area. Sweating continues normally in other parts of the body.

Results and duration can vary, but effects may last several months. A consultation is required to determine whether this option is appropriate for you.

In some cases, this treatment may be eligible for coverage under extended health benefit plans. We recommend contacting your provider to confirm eligibility and any required documentation.

You may notice results immediately after dermal filler treatment, with full results developing over the following two to four weeks.

Some swelling after dermal filler treatment is common, particularly in areas such as the lips. Swelling typically improves over the course of one to two weeks, though timing can vary from person to person.

Chemical peels are used to improve the appearance of concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne, scarring, uneven texture, and skin tone. Results can vary depending on your individual skin and the type of peel used. In some cases, a series of treatments may be recommended. A personalized skincare routine or additional treatments may also be suggested to help support your results.

Preparation can vary depending on your skin type and individual concerns, which is why a consultation is required before a chemical peel. During your consultation, your provider will review how to prepare your skin and outline any steps to follow or avoid prior to your procedure.

The effects of neuromodulator treatment, such as Botox®, are temporary. Results last an average of six to nine months, with some individuals reporting effects for up to 12 months. As the treatment wears off, sweating typically returns gradually.

The risks associated with this treatment are generally low. In rare cases, temporary side effects such as mild muscle weakness may occur. A consultation with your provider is recommended to discuss any potential risks specific to you.

No, this is a common myth. Dermaplaning does not change the colour, thickness, or growth pattern of hair. As the hair grows back over the following four to six weeks, it will return in the same way it was before treatment.
