Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between Botox and Dysport?

    Both are neuromodulators that relax muscles to reduce wrinkles, but Dysport spreads more widely and may take effect slightly faster. Botox offers more precise placement for targeted areas. At Oakley Aesthetics, we customize dosing and product selection based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
  • How long do dermal fillers typically last?

    Most dermal fillers last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used, treatment area, and individual metabolism. Fillers in high-movement areas like lips may break down faster than those in cheeks or jawline. At Oakley Aesthetics, we tailor filler selection to maximize longevity and natural results.
  • Can Kybella reduce a double chin without surgery?

    Yes, Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that destroys fat cells beneath the chin, creating a more defined profile. It's a non-surgical alternative to liposuction with permanent results once fat cells are eliminated. Treatment plans are customized based on the amount of submental fullness.
  • What skin concerns do chemical peels address?

    Chemical peels improve tone, texture, acne, pigmentation, and fine lines through controlled exfoliation. Medical-grade formulas like the Refresh Peel and Perfect Derma Peel are suitable for various skin types and concerns. At Oakley Aesthetics in Fort Worth, we integrate peels with professional skincare guidance for optimal results.
  • How does microneedling help with acne scars?

    Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production, which helps rebuild skin texture and reduce the appearance of acne scarring. Treatment depth and technique are customized based on scar severity and skin condition. Progressive improvement is typical over a series of sessions.
  • Is laser tattoo removal safe for all skin types?

    Advanced laser technology can safely treat various skin types and ink colors by breaking down pigment without damaging surrounding tissue. Multiple sessions are typically required for progressive fading. At Oakley Aesthetics, treatments are performed in a controlled clinical environment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
  • What should I expect during a complimentary consultation?

    You'll receive a one-on-one aesthetic assessment evaluating your goals, skin condition, and treatment options. We create personalized treatment plans based on facial anatomy and provide realistic timelines and outcomes. It's the ideal starting point for injectables, laser treatments, and skincare planning at our Fort Worth clinic.
  • How does Plasma IQ tighten skin without surgery?

    Plasma IQ uses plasma energy to create controlled micro-injuries that trigger skin contraction and collagen production. It targets fine lines, wrinkles, and laxity in delicate areas with minimal downtime. Results develop progressively as the skin naturally tightens and rejuvenates over several weeks.
  • Do PDO threads provide immediate lifting results?

    PDO threads offer both immediate lift from thread placement and progressive improvement as they stimulate collagen over time. The dissolvable threads improve skin firmness and contour with customized placement for targeted areas. At Oakley Aesthetics, we assess each client to determine optimal thread placement and lifting strategy.
  • What's the downtime after laser facial rejuvenation?

    Laser facial rejuvenation is non-invasive with minimal downtime, though mild redness or sensitivity may occur for a few days. The treatment improves tone, texture, sun damage, and pigmentation with progressive results over several weeks. It's often combined with other treatments for enhanced skin clarity.
  • When should you start getting neuromodulators for wrinkles?

    Many people start in their late 20s or early 30s as a preventative measure to slow the formation of dynamic wrinkles. Early treatment can reduce the need for higher doses later. At Oakley Aesthetics, we customize timing and dosing based on your skin, muscle activity, and aesthetic goals.
  • Does Fort Worth's climate affect dermal filler results?

    Hot, dry Texas weather can increase dehydration, which may affect how fillers settle and how long results appear plump. Staying well-hydrated and using quality skincare helps maintain volume and skin health. At Oakley Aesthetics, we provide professional aftercare guidance tailored to local conditions.
