Do I need Botox, filler or both?
We center your unique lifestyle, current skin health, and aesthetic goals to build a treatment plan that prioritizes safety and results. It’s not uncommon that a combination of wrinkle relaxers + dermal fillers is most effective in meeting our clients’ overall needs. Long term, we may also recommend adding a combination of radio frequency and laser resurfacing treatments, depending on your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What can I expect during my consultation?
During your consultation, you’ll meet one-on-one with a member of our Telos team. They’ll ask about your relevant medical history, your skincare routine, and your aesthetic goals. Then they’ll examine your skin (or other appropriate treatment areas) and build out a treatment plan tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and budget.
