Frequently Asked Questions

What are neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators, such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®, are injectable treatments derived from botulinum toxin. By temporarily relaxing facial muscles, they reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

How do neuromodulators work?

Neuromodulators work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This relaxation of the muscles smooths out wrinkles and lines in the treated area.

What areas can be treated with neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators are commonly used to treat wrinkles and lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow's feet). They can also be utilized to address conditions like migraines and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in areas such as the underarms, hands, and feet to enhance comfort in daily activities.

What are the benefits of neuromodulator treatments?

Neuromodulators are effective in reducing dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements. Benefits include smoother skin, a more relaxed appearance, and a temporary reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.

How long do results from neuromodulators last?

Results typically last for 3 to 4 months, though individual results may vary. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the desired effects. Results last longer for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. To increase the longevity of your neurotoxin, take a zinc supplement for 5 days before and after treatment.

Are there any side effects?

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These usually resolve quickly and are mild in nature.

Can I apply makeup after the procedure?

It's best to wait at least 4 hours before applying makeup.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances designed to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are commonly used to restore fullness and shape to the face.

How do dermal fillers work?

Dermal fillers work by replenishing lost volume in the skin and underlying tissues. They can fill in wrinkles and folds, add volume to lips and cheeks, and improve facial contours for a rejuvenated appearance.

Can I sleep normally after the procedure?

Yes, but try to sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated. This position can effectively reduce swelling, while avoiding pressure on the treated areas. We also advise using a freshly laundered pillowcase on the night of your treatment.

What is platelet-rich plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated form of plasma derived from a patient’s own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from red and white blood cells. The resulting PRP contains a higher concentration of platelets, which are known to play a crucial role in healing and tissue regeneration.

What skin conditions do PRP injections treat?

It's normal to experience redness, swelling, bruising, and soreness immediately after your procedure. However, these effects shouldn't prevent you from returning to work. We recommend scheduling treatments around your work schedule if you're concerned about social downtime. **Please schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before any special event.

When will I see results?

Results typically become noticeable within one week of treatment and continue to improve over time. For skin concerns like melasma and deep lines and wrinkles, multiple treatments may be needed to achieve optimal results.

How long do results last?

Results from treatments are long-lasting. To maintain them, we recommend following a healthy lifestyle and using a personalized Grayce Skin Co. skincare regimen.

Does the treatment cause discomfort?

A topical anesthetic cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure. We also offer ProNox as an optional add-on for pain and anxiety relief, if needed.

• It's recommended to stop using: Aspirin, NSAIDs, Gingko Biloba, Garlic, Ginseng, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, or any essential fatty acids 1 week before and after treatment to minimize bruising or bleeding. Consult your primary physician before discontinuing any medications.
• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, Niacin supplements, high-sodium foods, high-sugar foods, refined carbohydrates, spicy foods, and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after treatment. These factors can increase the risk of bruising and swelling and delay healing.

Do I need to fast before the procedure?

No, fasting is not required, but a well-balanced meal before the procedure is recommended.

What if I have a history of cold sores?

Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores; they may prescribe an antiviral medication.

What precautions should I take or be aware of before my PRP treatment?

• Ensure there is no active rash in the area to be treated.
• Accutane use must be avoided for 6 months prior to your treatment.
• Avoid laser procedures and waxing for 7 days prior to treatment.
• Discontinue topical retinoids 24 hours before treatment to reduce sensitivity.

Is there anything I can do to help with bruising?

Consider starting Arnica supplements at least 2 days before injections to help reduce bruising.

Can I wash my face or hair after PRP treatment?

What types of chemical peels are available?

We offer a range of VI peels that treat various conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, signs of aging, skin texture, and pore size.

What are the benefits of a VI Peel?

The VI Peel is a versatile, medium-depth chemical peel that offers a range of benefits:

• Improves Skin Tone and Texture: It effectively treats uneven skin tone, smooths rough texture, and leaves skin looking more radiant.
• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The VI Peel stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and gives skin a firmer, rejuvenated look.
• Minimizes Acne and Acne Scars: The peel targets acne at its source by exfoliating dead skin cells and unclogging pores while helping fade acne scars and discoloration.
• Fades Hyperpigmentation: The VI Peel is known for reducing sun damage, age spots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation, promoting a more even skin tone.
• Boosts Skin Clarity: The VI Peel helps clear impurities, reduce pore size, and reveal fresh, healthy skin by accelerating cell turnover.
• Accelerate Treatment Results: The VI Peel prepares the skin for treatments like injectables, microneedling, lasers, and PRP by deeply exfoliating, removing dead cells, and boosting cellular turnover. This process creates the ideal skin surface for enhancing absorption and allowing treatments to penetrate deeper for faster, more effective results.

How does a VI Peel work?

The VI Peel combines multiple acids, including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, phenol, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), to penetrate the skin to a controlled depth, reaching the dermis with minimal to no discomfort and without causing excessive irritation or downtime. It works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, removing pigmentation, and revealing a new skin layer. Over time, the peel stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity, which is beneficial for reducing fine lines and scarring.

How often should I get a chemical peel?

It depends on the type of peel, but generally, peels can be done every 4-6 weeks.

How do I prepare for a chemical peel?

Refrain from using retinol or harsh skincare products for one week prior. Maintain proper hydration with a healthy diet during this period. Please arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.

Should I avoid sun exposure before a peel?

Yes, it's crucial to avoid sun exposure for at least a week before your treatment to reduce risks. If you've recently experienced a sunburn in the treatment area, the procedure will need to be postponed.

Can I wear makeup to my appointment?

Arrive with a clean face without makeup for best results.

What post-peel care is required?

Following your treatment, you will receive detailed post-peel instructions and a specialized kit. It is important to maintain skin hydration with the provided products, apply the supplied sunscreen, and avoid direct sunlight. Refrain from pulling at any loose skin to prevent potential scarring.

How much peeling should I expect after a VI Peel?

It’s common to expect heavy peeling or to see your skin peel in sheets, but this isn’t always the case with the VI Peel. The amount of peeling can vary widely, from light flaking to more visible peeling, and both are entirely normal. The VI Peel’s unique blend of multiple acids penetrates the skin to a medium depth, promoting cellular turnover and improving texture, tone, and overall appearance regardless of visible peeling. Patients who receive regular VI Peel treatments may experience less peeling over time as their skin maintains a healthy balance of dead skin cells.

How long does a VI Peel take to heal?

• Healing Process: Initial recovery typically takes about 5-7 days. Some redness and mild swelling may occur immediately after the peel, often followed by a few days of mild to heavy peeling.
• Peeling Stage: Peeling typically starts around day 3-4 and lasts for about 2-3 days. It is often manageable and can resemble light, flaky skin or thick sheet peeling. The absence of peeling does not mean the peel isn't working.
• Downtime: The VI Peel has minimal downtime compared to other medium-depth peels. Most patients can resume normal activities the day after treatment, although makeup must be avoided during peeling.
• Final Results: The full results of the VI Peel are typically visible after about 7-10 days, with the skin continuing to improve as collagen production is stimulated over the following weeks.

Can I use my regular skincare products after the peel?

Wait until the peeling process is completely finished before returning to your regular skincare products. Specific instructions will be provided, but you can generally resume your normal skincare routine around days 7 to 10.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure where fine needles puncture the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve texture, tone, and the appearance of scars and wrinkles. At Grayce Skin Co., we utilize the SkinPen Precision system for microneedling treatments.

How does the SkinPen Precision system work?

The SkinPen Precision system creates microscopic channels in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing process. This promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and a more youthful appearance.

What are the benefits of the SkinPen Precision system?

Benefits include improved skin texture and tone, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, minimized pore size, enhanced absorption of skincare products, and overall skin rejuvenation without significant downtime.

Is the SkinPen Precision system painful?

The procedure is generally well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. Patients may feel a mild sensation of pricking or tingling during the procedure.

How long does a session with the SkinPen Precision system take?

Treatment sessions typically last about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area and the specific concerns being addressed.

How many treatments are recommended for optimal results?

Most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions needed depends on individual skin concerns and treatment goals.

When will I see results after using the SkinPen Precision system?

Initial results, such as improved skin texture and radiance, can often be seen within a few days to weeks after the first treatment. Collagen remodeling and further improvements continue over several months.

Is there any downtime after using the SkinPen Precision system?

There is minimal downtime associated with the SkinPen Precision system. Patients may experience redness and mild swelling immediately after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours.

Are there any side effects of using the SkinPen Precision system?

Common side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, and sensitivity. These effects are normal and typically subside within a few days post-treatment.

Who is a good candidate for the SkinPen Precision system?

Good candidates include individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, minimize acne scars, and enhance overall skin appearance. While this treatment is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, clearance from your OBGYN is required. A consultation with one of our skincare professionals will help determine if this treatment is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.

Can the SkinPen Precision system be combined with other treatments?

Yes, the SkinPen Precision system can be combined with other skincare treatments or procedures, such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma), to optimize results for specific skin concerns.

What should I avoid before and after using the SkinPen Precision system?

Before treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications, supplements like aspirin or NSAIDs, and alcohol to reduce the risk of bruising. Avoid direct sun and tanning bed exposure for a week before treatment. After treatment, avoid direct sun exposure and apply 30+SPF sunscreen regularly to protect the treated skin.

Is microneedling suitable for all skin types?

Yes, it's safe for most skin types, but a consultation is recommended to assess suitability.

Should I stop using retinol or other active ingredients before treatment?

Yes, discontinue use of retinol and acids at least a week before.

Can I eat before the procedure?

Yes, having a meal before the procedure is recommended.

How do I care for my skin post-treatment?

Post-care instructions will include using gentle, non-irritating skincare products and sunscreen as recommended by your provider.

When can I resume makeup application?

It's usually safe to apply makeup 24 hours after the treatment.

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy (also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or near-infrared (NIR) light therapy) uses low-intensity red light wavelengths to promote healing and reduce inflammation in the skin and other tissues.

How does Red Light Therapy work?

Red Light Therapy works by penetrating the skin at a shallow depth, where it is absorbed by the mitochondria in the cells. This absorption stimulates cellular energy production, which can enhance tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve skin conditions.

What are the benefits of Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy promotes collagen production, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, improves skin tone and texture, accelerates wound healing, reduces inflammation and pain, and aids in the treatment of acne and other skin conditions.

Is Red Light Therapy safe?

Yes, Red Light Therapy is considered safe when used as directed. It is non-invasive and does not produce heat, making it comfortable and generally well-tolerated. However, it's important to use protective eyewear as directed to shield the eyes from the light. Please note that while Red Light Therapy does not emit heat, some patients may still experience a slightly warm sensation during treatment.

How long does a Red Light Therapy session last?

Sessions typically last between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the specific treatment area.

How soon will I see results from Red Light Therapy?

Results can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some people notice improvements after a few sessions, while others may require more treatments to achieve desired results.

Are there any side effects of Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy is generally considered safe with minimal side effects. Some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or temporary discomfort, but these effects are rare and usually resolve quickly.

Who can benefit from Red Light Therapy?

Can I combine Red Light Therapy with other treatments?

Yes, Red Light Therapy can be used in conjunction with other skincare treatments for enhanced results. However, it's important to consult with our skincare professionals to determine the best approach for your specific needs.

How often can you do Red Light Therapy?

The frequency of sessions can vary depending on the condition being treated and the desired results. Initially, treatments may be scheduled multiple times per week, followed by maintenance sessions as needed to sustain benefits.

Is Red Light Therapy suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

While Red Light Therapy is generally safe, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing treatments to ensure safety and appropriateness.

How do I prepare for Red Light Therapy?

No specific preparation is needed; just arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

Is there any downtime following treatment?

There is no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately afterward.

How soon can I see results?

Some immediate effects may be noticeable, but several sessions are needed for full benefits.

Can I apply skincare products after the session?

Yes, you can return to your regular skincare routine the same day. However, you should avoid harsh products or products with chemical exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs for the first 24 hours. After your treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to UV light. Please avoid direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

What is the Whole-Body Reset and what is it used for?

The Whole-Body Reset is a prescribed peptide-based therapy for metabolic health, offered at Grayce Skin Co. This therapy is designed to support appetite regulation, reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, and promote sustainable weight loss when paired with healthy lifestyle changes. It is formulated to mimic the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone, which plays a key role in metabolic function.

What are GLP-1s and how do they support weight loss?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, promote feelings of fullness, and reduce appetite. The Whole-Body Reset uses a prescribed, compounded peptide that works similarly to GLP-1 to support metabolic balance and make it easier to manage cravings and reduce caloric intake—leading to gradual, sustainable weight loss.

Who can benefit from the Whole-Body Reset?

This therapy may be ideal for adults seeking support with metabolic health, weight loss, or chronic inflammation—especially when lifestyle changes alone have not yielded the desired results. A full consultation is required to determine medical eligibility.

How is the Whole-Body Reset administered?

The treatment is given as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection at Grayce Skin Co., administered by a licensed provider. The medication is also available in pre-filled injection pens from the manufacturer, allowing for convenient self-administration when prescribed directly to the patient.

Where do the medications come from?

All peptide-based medications used in the Whole-Body Reset program are sourced from Olympia Pharmacy, a licensed 503A/503B compounding facility and FDA-registered Outsourcing Facility. Olympia adheres to strict safety and quality standards, including cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices), and is authorized to provide medications for in-office use by licensed providers.

In some cases, the prescribed peptide-based therapy may also be ordered direct-to-patient from the manufacturer, depending on medical necessity and provider discretion. Your provider will discuss the appropriate dispensing method during your consultation.

What are the potential side effects?

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. Some individuals may experience injection site reactions. It's important to discuss any side effects with your healthcare provider.

Is the Whole-Body Reset right for everyone?

The Whole-Body Reset may not be suitable for everyone. Your healthcare provider will assess your medical history, current medications, and overall health to determine if this peptide-based therapy is appropriate for you.

How quickly can you see results with the Whole-Body Reset program?

The Whole-Body Reset program typically starts to promote weight loss within a few weeks of starting treatment. However, individual results may vary, and it may take several weeks to months to achieve significant weight loss.

Are there specific guidelines for participating in the Whole-Body Reset program?

Yes, it’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s guidance closely when using peptide-based therapy for weight loss or inflammation. Your provider will walk you through proper injection timing, dosage adherence, follow-up appointments, nutritional support, and progress tracking to ensure your treatment is safe, effective, and personalized to your goals.

Can I receive this treatment without a prescription?

No. The Whole-Body Reset is a prescription-based therapy that must be administered under the supervision of a licensed medical provider. A consultation and medical clearance are required before beginning treatment.

Is the Whole-Body Reset program effective for long-term weight loss?

When paired with consistent lifestyle habits and medical supervision, the Whole-Body Reset has the potential to support long-term improvements in weight, energy, and overall metabolic health. Clinical studies on GLP-1–based therapies have demonstrated significant and sustained weight loss when combined with nutrition and behavioral support. However, individual results may vary, and long-term success depends on continued provider guidance, adherence to treatment, and commitment to healthy lifestyle changes.
