As long as you continue to treat the skin, the results of 3 Needle Free Filler Facials, 3 weeks apart last up to 6 months. 1 treatment lasts for 6 weeks. Incorporating the TOV Medical skin care line into your daily regimen is highly recommended to maintain and further improve your skin over time.
No! We have the strongest compounded numbing cream available. Most patients can’t even feel that anything is happening.
For microneedling using a pen, redness like a sunburn can be seen immediately but subsides for most in just a few hours. If you’re fair, you may see redness for a bit longer but no more than 24 hours.
For microneedling with Radio Frequency, redness like a sunburn and swelling can be seen immediately after but subsides for most within 24 hours.
Yes! The micro injuries induced during the treatment encourage your skin to stimulate the production of your own wound-healing collagen and this is a permanent effect. However, we are always aging so once you finish with 3-5 consecutive treatments 1 month apart to get the results you desire, you’ll want to continue to maintain these results by alternating a microneedling session with your favorite facial treatment every other month to 6 weeks. This will ensure optimal results and actually give you the opportunity to age backwards!
Nano Infusion is the lightest form of microchanneling and only renders some slight redness for an hour. This treatment is about better product penetration rather than remodeling the dermis like microneedling. It is a great introduction to microneedling if you’re interested in taking your results to the next level in the future.
The Isomer Peel is a medium-depth peel that contains a blend of different acids that are designed to penetrate the Papillary layer of the skin. You will start to shed 2-3 days after application and then experience a full shed of the skin for 4-5 days. You will need to allow 7 full days to complete the process where no sweating, exposure to hot temperatures or sun exposure is a must.
All other peels on the menu are little to no downtime exfoliating treatments. We can discuss what fits your lifestyle and expectations the best.
Avoid sun exposure, spray tans, the use of retinoids or other harsh exfoliants, excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption, profuse sweating, picking or touching the face.
Try to come in with a clean face and current skin care products applied. Feel free to bring your current skin care regimen for assessment. Write down all of your questions and concerns if you need to. Please disclose any medications or health issues so that we can treat you safely such as the use of accutane within the last 6 months, hormone medications, blood disorders, epilepsy, heart issues, any known allergies and the use of blood thinners (NSAIDS) and supplements such as fish oils and Vitamin E.
No problem! You can schedule a consultation and a treatment all in one day. Just schedule a consultation and then one of the VIP options at the same time if you’re not sure where to start.

Yes and No. The topical filler that is in The Needle Free Filler Facial and coinciding at-home products regenerate subcutaneous fat loss and stimulates the production of your own collagen naturally and cumulatively by using hydrogen to penetrate it deep into the skin without using needles. It supports the results of those that get injections but is also a great alternative for those that don’t want injections.
Topical neurotoxin does not totally affect the muscle like injecting it does. It helps to reduce muscle contraction but is mainly used to tighten the pores, decongest the skin and has a tremendous lifting and smoothing effect.
If you get injections, this treatment prolongs the effects and makes it even better! If you’re not ready for injections, this is a great way to tighten, smooth and add volume to the skin naturally.Absolutely safe! The filler ingredient in these treatments and products is called Poly-L-Lactic-Acid. This is the same ingredient that is found in dissolvable sutures and in the filler “Sculptra.” This ingredient is bioidentical and bio-stimulating and is used to promote healing and collagen stimulation naturally with continued use.
Topical neurotoxins are safe to use on the skin because they are formulated with specific ingredients that target only surface-level muscles, temporarily reducing muscle contractions without entering the bloodstream. An added benefit of using topical neurotoxins is that they tighten, smooth and decongest the skin because they incorporate other natural ingredients to provide a cocktail of anti-aging benefits. These treatments are non-invasive, avoiding injections if you choose to do so, and have undergone extensive clinical testing to ensure their efficacy and safety for cosmetic use. Proper application by trained professionals ensures minimal risk and maximum results.
The Caviplla O2 Volumizing Serum, the Promoter Repair Eye and Lip Cream, the Promoter Repair Moisturizer and the Stem Cell Mist at the very least.
The Pilleo Prep foaming toner is a great additive to exfoliate and prep the skin for better absorption of products to follow as well as the Volumizing Weekly Peel to allow for better product absorption and also helps to lighten and correct sun damage. The Sun Cushion SPF 50 not only protects the skin but also fills, volumizes and gives a natural coverage. (Best for fair complexions).
There are 3 products that include topical neurotoxin: The Hevatox Exfoliating Pads, The Hevatox Gold Ampoule and The Hevatox Gold Eye Cream. The pads are used right after cleansing and gently exfoliate and deliver the neurotoxin into the skin. The Hevatox Gold Ampoule can be combined with the Caviplla O2 Volumizing Serum as one step to fill AND tighten the skin. The Hevatox Gold Eye cream can be alternated day and night with the Promoter Repair Eye cream if your concerns are more about fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. The Promoter Repair Eye and Lip cream focuses on volumizing and plumping the troughs of the eyes and the lips and lip line.
Due to the clean, botanical and bio identical ingredients in our line, allergic reactions are extremely rare. But if something should happen, please let us know immediately and we will work with you to alleviate the issue and make changes to your regimen as needed.
