Frequently Asked Questions

EMSCULPT NEO is the first and only non invasive body shaping procedure that provides simultaneous fat elimination and muscle building in a combined 30-minute session.

If you can benefit from less fat and more muscle, the EMSCULPT NEO procedure may be a great fit. Ask any EMSCULPT NEO provider for details.

Treats arms (biceps and triceps), legs (quads, hamstrings, inner thighs, saddle bags and calves), abs and buttocks.

YES! EMSCULPT NEO and the embedded high intensity magnetic field (HIFEM) technology has been clinically tested for safety and efficacy through seven clinical studies. Moreover, 30 scientific publications make HIFEM the most intensively researched body contouring technology since its introduction in 2018.

You can feel intense muscle contractions together with a heating sensation in the treated area which is comparable to a hot stone massage.

The protocol for Emsculpt NEO is usually four 30-minute treatments, scheduled 5-10 days apart. Consult your provider for details.

The Emsculpt NEO procedure is simple and easy. There is no pre-preparation required. You will lay down while the applicators are applied over the treatment area for 30 minutes. During the treatment you may feel an intense yet tolerable heating sensation along with muscle contractions. Once the procedure is completed, you can immediately get back to your daily routine.

Morpheus8 can treat various areas of the face and body, including the lower face, neck, periorbital area, forehead, inner arms, and abdomen.

Typically, 1 to 3 sessions are recommended, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, for optimal results.

Visible results can be seen within a few days, with the most noticeable improvements appearing after three weeks and continuing up to three months.

The treatment involves minimal downtime, with most patients experiencing slight redness and a sunburn-like sensation for a few days.

Yes! The built-in cooling system and precision laser delivery make treatments extremely tolerable. Most clients describe it as a mild warmth sensation.

We typically recommend 6–8 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your skin type, hair type, and treatment area.

Once you arrive, please check in on the iPad. Take a seat and we will call you when we are ready. Some of our appointments are only 5 minutes because the laser is so fast. Please be on time or a couple minutes early to not lose your appointment. We bring you to the laser room, discuss the treatment as we put on safety goggles and get on the treatment table. Once the treatment is complete, we check out and schedule the next appointment in 4 weeks.

You might be a little red and bumpy in the area; this is normal and usually goes away within an hour. If you experience more than that you need to contact us. In the next week or two, some people continue to see the hair grow and then fall out. Some never experience this and do not see much hair growth at all after treatment. Others don't see a change until after a few treatments. All is normal and could be different after each treatment. Anything that causes heat to the area treated—such as exercise, sun exposure, hot showers or saunas—should be avoided until the next day.

Absolutely. The Nd:YAG wavelength technology penetrates deeper and avoids melanin interference—making it ideal for all skin types, including darker tones.

Yes! You can shave between treatments, but avoid waxing or plucking as they remove the hair root that the laser targets.

Laser hair removal results in permanent hair reduction. While results vary slightly by individual, most clients enjoy long-lasting smoothness with only occasional maintenance sessions.

Most sessions last 45–60 minutes. It's the perfect treatment to fit into your lunch break.

No! You can return to work or daily activities immediately after your treatment with glowing skin.

While you'll see results after one session, we recommend a series of 4–6 treatments for optimal long-term improvements.

Yes. Bela MD is customizable and gentle enough for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

Bela MD offers more advanced technology including microcurrent stimulation, electroporation, and hydrogen water infusion—delivering better absorption and longer-lasting results.

Botox and Xeomin typically last 3–4 months, while DAXXIFY can last up to 6 months or longer. Dermal fillers like the RHA Collection generally last 9–15 months depending on the product and treatment area.

Most patients report only mild discomfort. Treatments use very fine needles, and a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

Botox results usually appear within 3–7 days, with full effect at two weeks. Dermal fillers provide immediate volume and smoothing, with final results visible once any swelling subsides in a few days.

Yes. Both are FDA-approved and have been used safely for millions of treatments. Our experienced injectors personalize every session to your facial anatomy for natural-looking results.

Botox relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles like frown lines and crow's feet, while dermal fillers restore lost volume and smooth static lines using hyaluronic acid that naturally occurs in the skin.

DAXXIFY is $8/unit ($6.50 with membership) and Xeomin is $10/unit ($8 with membership). Dermal filler pricing varies by product and amount needed. Book a free consultation for a personalized quote.

EMFACE is the first and only hands-free solution for treating facial skin and muscles in just 20 minutes.

Everybody can benefit from less wrinkles and more lift. Ask your provider if the treatment is suitable for you.

EMFACE is a non-invasive procedure that requires no recovery or downtime after the procedure.

You begin to feel tangible results right after the treatments. Positive results are usually reported in four to six weeks after the last session and continue to improve for several weeks following the treatment.

Having injectables does not rule you out for receiving EMFACE. Consult your provider to tailor the right treatment plan for you.

The EMFACE procedure feels like a facial muscle massage with a warming sensation in the treated area. You can lay down and relax during the treatment.

Microneedling is a treatment where tiny needles create controlled micro-punctures in your skin. This triggers your body's natural healing response, producing more collagen and elastin. These essential proteins keep your skin plump and youthful, improving texture, tone, and firmness.

Microneedling is an effective solution against fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks. It also evens out skin pigmentation and allows medical-grade skincare products to penetrate deeper for maximum results.

Yes! Microneedling is safe for virtually all skin types when performed by qualified professionals. Mild redness or swelling may occur immediately following the procedure but typically subsides within 24–48 hours.

Most patients achieve optimal skin renewal with a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Our team creates a personalized plan tailored to your specific goals during your consultation.

Tixel is not a light-based treatment like IPL. This system transfers pure thermal energy directly to the skin using a heated titanium tip, transferring less heat to surrounding tissues than IPL. Therefore, it is safe to use on all skin types, including dark skin and melasma.

Tixel is not a laser. At higher settings, providers report similar results to fractional ablative lasers. However, with Tixel, the stratum corneum (outermost layer of skin) remains intact, resulting in an easier recovery with significantly less downtime. Patients experience no oozing or bleeding, minimal swelling, and can apply sunscreen and makeup just 24 hours post-treatment.

Tixel is well-tolerated. Many patients are treated without topical anesthetic. Chilled air and topical numbing cream can be used to maximize comfort. Most patients report feeling a brief, localized warmth at the treatment site.

For general skin rejuvenation and tightening, we recommend a series of 3 treatments, scheduled once every 4 to 6 weeks, followed by 1 to 2 maintenance treatments annually. Difficult concerns like severe acne scarring may require additional sessions.

Because the outermost protective layer of the skin remains intact, downtime is minimal. Lower settings have almost no downtime, while more aggressive settings may cause mild redness for a day or two. Patients can wear makeup after 24 hours and return to work immediately.

Plan for 24 hours of sun avoidance (wear a hat if going outdoors). Avoid intense exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24 hours, and apply only recommended soothing post-care products. After 24 hours, you may use a gentle cleanser, light moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup.

Cost is individualized per patient and target area (face, eyes, neck, décolleté). Schedule a complimentary consultation with our Allure Laser Studio team for accurate custom pricing.

A Photofacial uses intense pulsed light (IPL) from the GentleMax Pro® device to target pigmented lesions, sun spots, redness, and broken capillaries. The light is absorbed by unwanted melanin and hemoglobin, breaking down the pigment without damaging surrounding tissue for a more even skin tone.

Most patients see noticeable improvement after a single session, but a series of 2–4 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal, long-lasting results depending on the severity of pigmentation and redness.

Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snap or warmth against the skin, similar to a rubber band flick. The GentleMax Pro® features a built-in cooling device that minimizes discomfort, and a topical numbing cream can be applied for extra comfort.

Results can last several months to years with proper sun protection. Because pigmentation can return with new sun exposure, we recommend daily sunscreen and occasional maintenance treatments to keep your skin clear and even-toned.

There is little to no downtime. Treated dark spots may temporarily darken and flake off within 7–10 days, and mild redness can occur for a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately and can apply makeup after treatment.

Photofacials are safest and most effective on skin types 1–3 and some skin type 4s. It is ideal for treating sun damage, age spots, freckles, facial redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries. A free consultation will confirm if the treatment is right for your skin.

The Perfect Derma Peel is a medical-grade, medium-depth chemical peel that combines powerful ingredients including Glutathione, TCA, Salicylic Acid, Retinoic Acid, Kojic Acid, Phenol, and Vitamin C. It is designed to transform skin texture, lighten hyperpigmentation, reduce fine lines, and clear active acne with minimal downtime.

Glutathione is a master antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, fights cellular damage, and inhibits melanin production. It deeply brightens skin tone, fades dark spots, and slows down the aging process from within.

It effectively addresses active acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, uneven tone and texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.

Peeling typically begins around Day 3 after treatment and lasts through Day 6 or 7. Most patients experience sloughing or light sheet peeling. By Day 7, fresh, glowing, healthy new skin is revealed.

Many patients see dramatic improvements in skin clarity, tone, and texture after just one treatment. For severe acne, deep scarring, or stubborn melasma, a series of 2–3 peels spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended.

Yes! The Perfect Derma Peel is FDA-cleared and specifically formulated to be safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I through VI), including darker skin tones.

The SaltFacial is a revolutionary three-step skin renewal therapy that treats tone, texture, and color using natural sea salt resurfacing, aesthetic ultrasound, and LED phototherapy. It is a clinical treatment suitable for all skin types that delivers immediate, visible rejuvenation.

No. The SaltFacial is a comfortable, non-invasive treatment with no numbing required. Patients typically describe the sea salt resurfacing as a gentle exfoliation and the ultrasound and LED steps as soothing and relaxing.

A full SaltFacial session takes about 30 to 45 minutes, making it easy to fit into a lunch break. There is no downtime, so you can return to your normal activities immediately after.

Many patients notice a dramatic improvement after just one session. For concerns like acne scarring, sun damage, or deeper texture issues, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

The SaltFacial is effective for fading acne scars, balancing oil production, smoothing texture, lightening sun damage, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, eliminating blackheads for tighter pores, and detoxifying and exfoliating the skin from head to toe.

Yes. The SaltFacial is safe and effective for every skin type and tone, including sensitive skin. Because it uses natural sea salt rather than abrasive chemicals, it is gentle enough for most patients while still delivering powerful rejuvenation.

Morpheus8V is a minimally invasive radio-frequency (RF) microneedling device designed specifically for vaginal tissue. It helps relieve painful sex, dryness, vaginal laxity, incontinence, and increases sensation and orgasm while decreasing UTI and vaginal infections. We numb you and the pain is minimal. It takes about 20 minutes, then uses tiny insulated needles to deliver RF energy beneath the surface, triggering deeper collagen remodeling without cutting or stitches. This is 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

During FormaV, a heated RF applicator is inserted to uniformly warm the vaginal walls, promoting tissue tightening. This treatment is pain-free—you just feel warmth—and lasts about 15 minutes. It is typically 3 treatments, one every 2 weeks. FormaV helps with episiotomy scar pain, painful sex, dryness, laxity, incontinence, and increased sensation. It's ideal for those who are scared of needles and prefer not to do Morpheus8V.

VTone is a non-surgical procedure designed to strengthen the pelvic floor using intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). It improves vaginal muscle laxity, stress and urge urinary incontinence, vaginal tone, and urinary urgency/frequency. The procedure creates muscle contractions that aren't possible with Kegel exercises. This treatment is 1 per week for 6 thirty-minute sessions.

If you're experiencing vaginal looseness, mild leakage when coughing/sneezing, decreased sensation, or diminished tissue quality—and you're in generally good health—Morpheus8V & FormaV could be right for you. A brief consultation will decide which treatment(s) are right for you.

Arrive freshly showered and bring an extra pair of underwear (cotton is preferred) to put on after treatment. We will not treat while menstruating; we will reschedule for when your cycle is over.

You can expect 48 hours downtime for intercourse or sitting in a bath after Morpheus8V or FormaV. Vtone has zero downtime.

Yes. Since we use only topical numbing and there's no general anesthesia, you're free to drive yourself home and return to work or daily activities.

You may feel some tightening immediately, but optimal collagen remodeling takes 8–12 weeks. Results often last 12–18 months; periodic touch-up treatments can help maintain your outcome.

For the first 48 hours, avoid intercourse, tampon use, and strenuous exercise. After that, you can return to normal self-care. Staying hydrated, practicing pelvic floor exercises, and attending any recommended maintenance sessions will extend your improvements.

Side effects are generally mild and temporary—slight swelling, redness, or tenderness. Rare complications can include blistering or infection, which we minimize by using sterile techniques and thorough after-care instructions.

Package pricing varies by plan and number of sessions. Please contact Allure Laser Studio for a personalized treatment plan and current package rates—many clients save when they book a full series upfront.

Allure Laser Studio's practitioners are fully trained in advanced RF technologies, and we prioritize your comfort, privacy, and natural results. Our state-of-the-art equipment and individualized care plans ensure you get the safest, most effective outcomes.

The Apex Device is a revolutionary treatment utilizing radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance erectile function by improving collagen structure and increasing penile blood flow.

The Apex Device delivers controlled thermal energy to penile tissues, specifically targeting collagen fibers in the corpora cavernosa and tunica albuginea. This process helps restore and reorganize collagen structures, which are essential for maintaining strong and sustained erections.

It improves erectile function by remodeling collagen and increasing penile blood flow; it's non-invasive and painless; quick treatment sessions (approximately 15 minutes each); long-lasting effects with sustained improvements in erectile function; and it's an alternative to medications, injections, or surgical interventions.

Men experiencing mild to moderate erectile dysfunction (ED), particularly those who have not responded well to oral medications like Viagra or Cialis.

Each session lasts around 15 minutes. The device delivers RF energy while monitoring temperature and impedance to ensure safe and effective treatment. A series of six treatments is typically recommended for optimal results.

No, the treatment is non-invasive and generally well tolerated, with minimal to no discomfort. Patients report feeling no pain during or after treatment.

Many patients experience noticeable improvements in erectile function within a few weeks after starting treatments, with further enhancements continuing up to three months post-treatment as collagen and fibers repair and stimulate.

Clinical studies show that men who underwent six Apex treatments experienced a significant improvement in erectile function scores, with long-term benefits lasting at least six months.

Oral Medications: Apex provides a natural and lasting improvement, whereas medications offer temporary relief. Shockwave Therapy: Unlike shockwave therapy, which mainly improves blood flow, Apex actively restores and strengthens collagen fibers, addressing the structural cause of ED. Injections & Surgery: Apex is a non-invasive alternative without the risks or side effects associated with these options.

There is no downtime, and side effects are minimal. Patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

One of the latest non-invasive treatments for erectile dysfunction is ApexRF, which uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve blood flow, stimulate collagen production, and support healthier erectile tissue. Unlike medications that temporarily manage symptoms, ApexRF aims to enhance natural function over time with comfortable, drug-free treatment sessions and no downtime.

Erectile dysfunction treatment depends on its underlying cause. Options may include lifestyle changes, prescription medications, hormone therapy, vacuum devices, or advanced non-invasive treatments like ApexRF, which uses radiofrequency energy to improve blood flow and tissue health. A professional evaluation helps determine the most effective treatment plan for lasting results.

Online ED treatments offer convenience, privacy, and access to prescription medications after a virtual medical evaluation. Clinic treatments provide in-person assessments and advanced, non-invasive therapies like ApexRF, which target underlying causes by improving blood flow and tissue health rather than simply managing symptoms. The best option depends on your condition, treatment goals, and your healthcare provider's recommendation.

No. At this time, our erectile dysfunction treatments are not covered by health insurance. However, we do accept Health Savings Account (HSA) cards, which may be used to pay for eligible treatments. If you have questions about pricing, payment options, or whether your HSA funds can be used for your recommended treatment, our team is happy to help.

The Mermaid Facial is a professional full-face treatment that combines five targeted Promoitalia products for the face, eyes, and lips. The formulas are applied using a controlled microstamping technique.

PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide. It consists of purified polynucleotide fragments commonly derived from salmon DNA and is used in professional aesthetic formulations intended to support hydration and skin rejuvenation.

No. A PDRN facial is not gene therapy and does not rewrite or alter your DNA.

No. The treatment does not relax facial muscles like Botox or another neurotoxin. It focuses on hydration, skin quality, texture, and subtle-looking rejuvenation.

No. Although the treatment may make the skin and lips appear more hydrated or plump, it does not provide the same structural volume or contouring as injectable dermal filler.

Treatment typically takes just under 60 minutes. Your appointment time may vary based on the areas treated.

Some clients may choose one treatment before an event, while others may benefit from a series. Your Allure provider will customize the plan based on your skin and goals.

The microstamping process may cause pressure, pinching, or sensitivity, particularly around the lips and eyes. Comfort varies between clients.

Downtime is usually minimal. Redness, tenderness, or swelling may occur, especially near the eyes and lips.

Allow enough time for possible redness or swelling to resolve. Your Allure provider can recommend appropriate scheduling based on your skin sensitivity and event date.

ExoSignal Hair is a professional cosmetic scalp formula containing a synthetic exosomal delivery structure, PDRN, peptides, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and plant-derived ingredients.

ExoSignal is designed to support fuller, thicker, healthier-looking hair. New growth cannot be guaranteed.

A typical initial plan may include four sessions spaced approximately two weeks apart.

Hair changes develop gradually. Results may be evaluated over approximately three to six months.

Downtime is generally minimal. Temporary redness, tenderness, tingling, or sensitivity may occur.

Possibly. Tell your provider about all topical and prescription hair treatments. Do not stop prescription medication without speaking with the prescribing clinician.

Potentially, but only after your transplant surgeon approves the timing and treatment method.

Seek medical evaluation if your hair loss is sudden, severe, patchy, painful, inflamed, scarring, or otherwise unexplained.

The number of treatments varies from person to person. Tattoo size, color, ink density, age, location, and your body's response can all affect how quickly the tattoo fades. We will give you a more personalized recommendation during your consultation.

Most people describe the sensation as a quick snapping or warming feeling. VANISH PRO includes integrated cooling technology to help make treatments more comfortable.

VANISH PRO uses both 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths, allowing us to target a broader range of tattoo pigments than a single-wavelength system.

Yes. Complete removal is not always necessary. We can create a treatment plan designed to lighten an existing tattoo and give your tattoo artist more flexibility for a cover-up.

Results vary depending on the tattoo and the individual. Some tattoos may fade dramatically while others can retain some pigment. We will evaluate your tattoo and discuss realistic expectations before treatment.
