Frequently Asked Questions

At VK Derma, we believe in a medical-aesthetic approach that combines scientific rigour, clinical expertise, and a respect for natural beauty. Our team of specialized nurse practitioners (SNPs) offers personalized and safe care based on proven technologies and clinical protocols. We are committed to delivering harmonious results, with a focus on improving skin quality, preventing aging, and supporting overall well-being.

1. How do I know which treatment is right for me?

Everyone has unique concerns and goals. A consultation with a professional is essential to assess your skin, overall condition, and expectations. We’ll take the time to explain the options and build a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

2. Are medical-aesthetic treatments safe?

Yes, all of our treatments are performed by qualified professionals using safe, proven technologies. We follow strict protocols to ensure optimal results and a high level of safety.

3. Are the results immediate?

That depends on the treatment:


✔ Dermal fillers provide immediate results, with improvements visible within a few days.
✔ Treatments such as PRP, Morpheus8 Burst, or sclerotherapy require a few weeks before full results are visible, as they stimulate natural regeneration processes.
✔ Laser treatments, such as Vasculaze, offer gradual improvement with optimal results after a few sessions.

4. Are the treatments painful?

Most procedures are well tolerated, with varying sensations depending on the treatment. We use methods to minimize discomfort, such as numbing creams for injections or cooling systems for lasers. After the session, mild redness, swelling or discomfort may occur, typically resolving within a few hours to a few days.

5. Are there any side effects after the treatment?

Our treatments are non-invasive and generally require little to no downtime. However, mild and temporary side effects may occur depending on the procedure:


✔ Redness, slight swelling or bruising after injections.
✔ Warmth or tightness after IPL or radiofrequency treatments.
✔ Minor scabbing or light peeling after certain skin rejuvenation treatments.

These effects usually disappear within a few hours to a few days. Our team will provide personalized post-treatment care instructions.

6. How many sessions are needed to see results?

The number of sessions depends on the treatment and targeted concern:


✔ Dermal fillers and botulinum toxin typically require only one session.
✔ Treatments such as PRP, Morpheus8 Burst, Lumecca or Vasculaze often require 3 to 6 sessions, depending on the desired outcome.
✔ Sclerotherapy may require multiple sessions to fully eliminate spider veins.

Our professionals will design a customized treatment plan for your needs.

7. What precautions should I take after a treatment?

Post-treatment recommendations vary depending on the procedure. In general, we suggest:


✔ Avoid sun exposure and use SPF 30+ after skin treatments.
✔ Avoid saunas, hot baths and intense workouts for 24 to 48 hours after some procedures (like injections or sclerotherapy).
✔ Apply recommended skincare products to optimize results and soothe the skin as needed.

We will provide detailed post-care instructions specific to your treatment.

8. Are the results permanent?

Results vary by treatment:


✔ Dermal fillers last between 6 and 18 months, and botulinum toxin lasts between 3 and 6 months depending on the area and product used.
✔ Treatments such as PRP, Morpheus8 Burst, and Lumecca offer long-term benefits but require maintenance sessions to prolong results.
✔ Veins treated with Vasculaze or sclerotherapy do not reappear, but new ones may form over time.

Our experts will guide you on the best maintenance plan to keep your results.

9. At what age can I start medical-aesthetic treatments?

There is no set age to start botulinum toxin treatments—it depends on individual needs and goals. Some choose to begin in their twenties as a preventative measure, while others use it later to correct visible signs of aging.

✔ Preventative: When the first expression lines start to persist at rest, usually between 25 and 30, botulinum toxin can be used to slow their formation and maintain a smooth, natural look.

✔ Corrective: From your 30s onward, it is ideal for softening deeper wrinkles such as forehead lines, glabellar lines (frown lines), and crow’s feet, while maintaining natural facial expressions.

✔ Therapeutic: Regardless of age, botulinum toxin is effective for managing bruxism, migraines, muscle spasms, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

The decision to begin treatment is always personalized, based on muscle dynamics, skin type, and personal goals. A professional evaluation is key to determining the right timing and dosage for a harmonious and customized outcome.

10. Can treatments be combined?

Yes! Some treatments complement each other perfectly for enhanced results. For example:


✔ Morpheus8 and PRP to improve skin texture and regeneration.
✔ Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers for a global, harmonious rejuvenation.
✔ Lumecca and Vasculaze for comprehensive correction of pigmentation and visible vessels.

We’ll advise you on the best treatment combinations for your needs.
