Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about our treatments, pricing, downtime, and what to expect at our Indianapolis clinic.
- How long does a Botox treatment last?
- Botox typically lasts 3–4 months and takes 4–7 days to fully appear. Longevity varies by dose, area, metabolism, and how active the treated muscles are.
- Is microneedling painful?
- No. We apply a topical numbing cream 30 minutes before your appointment. Most patients describe the sensation as mild prickling or sandpaper-like — not painful. Pinpoint redness right after is normal and fades within hours.
- How many microneedling sessions do I need?
- Most patients see real change after a series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. After that, quarterly maintenance keeps results stable. A single session gives a glow; a series rebuilds collagen.
- What is the downtime after a chemical peel?
- A superficial peel produces 2–5 days of light flaking. Medium peels can take 7–10 days to fully resolve. You'll look pink immediately after, similar to a sunburn. Sun protection is critical for the first 2 weeks.
- What's the difference between Botox and micro-Botox?
- Traditional Botox relaxes specific muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles. Micro-Botox places very small, diluted droplets just below the skin surface to refine pores, oil, and texture without changing how your face moves.
- Are your providers licensed?
- Yes. All injectables and medical-grade treatments at LYFE MEDSPA are performed by licensed medical professionals under physician oversight, including our nurse-practitioner injector PaShance Strickland.
- How much does treatment cost?
- Pricing varies by service and the amount of product needed. Botox is priced per unit; microneedling, peels, and micro-Botox are priced per session with package discounts. New patients receive a complimentary consultation to map a plan and exact pricing.
- Can I combine treatments in one visit?
- Some treatments pair well the same day (Hydrafacial + micro-Botox; microneedling + PRP or exosomes). Others need to be spaced apart (Botox 1–2 weeks before microneedling; chemical peel 2–4 weeks separated from microneedling). Your provider will sequence them safely.
- Who shouldn't get these treatments?
- Pregnant or breastfeeding patients, anyone with active infections in the treatment area, recent isotretinoin use (within 6 months), or certain neuromuscular conditions should defer. We screen for this at consultation.
- Do you serve patients outside Indianapolis?
- Yes — we welcome patients from across central Indiana including Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Greenwood, and Zionsville. Many drive in for our injectors and stay for the full membership.
