Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine which Terramé MedSpa treatment is right for me?

Every journey begins with a personalized consultation. Our expert providers analyze your unique skin profile and discuss your goals to create a customized plan tailored to your needs.

What is the recovery time for injectable treatments?

Most injectable services at Terramé MedSpa require little to no downtime. While some clients may experience minor swelling or bruising, most return to their normal activities immediately following their appointment.

How does Terramé MedSpa differ from a traditional day spa?

While our day spa services focus on relaxation and topical wellness, Terramé MedSpa utilizes medical-grade technology and clinical-strength products to address deeper skin concerns and provide more significant anti-aging corrections.

Who performs the medical treatments?

All procedures at Terramé MedSpa are performed by highly trained, licensed medical professionals under the direction of our Medical Director, ensuring the highest standards of safety and clinical excellence.

How many sessions are typically needed for Laser Hair Removal?

Because hair grows in different cycles, most patients achieve optimal results after 6 to 8 sessions. We will provide a specific recommendation based on your hair and skin type during your visit.

How long does Botox last?

While results vary by individual, most patients enjoy a smoother appearance for 3 to 4 months.

Will I look “fake” or “frozen”?

No. At Terramé MedSpa, our philosophy is “less is more.” We prioritize natural movement so you look like yourself, only more refreshed.

Is Botox painful?

Most patients find the treatment very tolerable. The needles used are extremely small, and the process is very fast.

At what age should I start Botox?

There is no “right” age. Many patients start in their 20s or 30s as a preventative measure (Preventive Botox) to stop deep lines from forming.

Does a chemical peel actually make your skin “peel”?

It depends on the strength. Light peels may cause no visible peeling at all, while medium and deep peels will lead to 3–7 days of localized flaking as the old skin is shed.

How should I prepare for my treatment?

We recommend stopping the use of Retin-A or other strong exfoliants 3–5 days prior to your visit at Terramé MedSpa.

Are chemical peels painful?

Most clients feel a warm, tingling, or “spicy” sensation for a few minutes during the application. We use cooling techniques to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the process.

How often should I get a chemical peel?

For maintenance, many clients enjoy a light peel every 4–6 weeks. For corrective work, we may recommend a series of three treatments.

How many sessions will I need?

While a single session provides a noticeable glow, we typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal corrective results.

Is Microneedling painful?

At Terramé MedSpa, patient comfort is a priority. With our professional-grade numbing cream, most clients report only minimal discomfort during the session.

What is the “downtime” for Microneedling?

You may experience redness and slight swelling for 1–2 days, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients return to wearing makeup and their normal routine within 48 hours.

Can Microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. It pairs beautifully with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for enhanced healing, or can be alternated with Chemical Peels for total skin rejuvenation.

How long does a AquaFirme XS take?

A standard treatment at Terramé MedSpa takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes, making it the perfect “lunchtime” rejuvenation.

Is there any downtime?

None at all. You can put on makeup and return to your normal activities immediately after your session.

How often should I get a AquaFirme XS?

Can I get a AquaFirme XS the same day as Botox?

Yes! Many of our clients love the “Red Carpet” look achieved by pairing a HydraFacial with their injectable appointments for a total facial refresh.

What is the difference between IPL and Skin Resurfacing?

While IPL targets color (pigment and redness), Skin Resurfacing targets the physical texture and structure of the skin by removing damaged layers and building new collagen.

Is there downtime involved?

Yes. Because this is a more intensive treatment, most patients experience redness and slight peeling for 3 to 7 days. We will provide you with a comprehensive post-care kit to ensure a smooth recovery.

How many treatments are needed?

Many clients see impressive results after a single session. However, depending on the severity of scarring or aging, a series of 3 treatments may be recommended for the most dramatic outcome.

Who is the ideal candidate?

Skin Resurfacing is ideal for individuals looking to address more significant signs of aging, sun damage, or textural irregularities that haven’t responded to lighter treatments.

Is Laser Hair Removal permanent?

While “permanent hair reduction” is the clinical term, most patients see a significant, long-lasting elimination of hair. Some may require an occasional maintenance touch-up once a year.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a light snap of a rubber band. Thanks to our advanced cooling technology at Terramé MedSpa, the procedure is much more comfortable than traditional waxing.

How many sessions will I need?

Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to catch every follicle in its active phase. Most patients achieve optimal results after 6 to 8 treatments.

Can any skin type be treated?

Our advanced laser technology is designed to be safe and effective for a wide range of skin tones and hair types. We will confirm your candidacy during your initial consultation.

How many treatments will I need?

While you will see improvement after one session, we typically recommend a series of 3 to 5 treatments for significant pigment correction at Terramé MedSpa.

What areas can be treated?

IPL is most commonly used on the face, neck, chest, and the backs of the hands—the areas most frequently exposed to the sun.

Can IPL be used on all skin tones?

IPL is most effective on light-to-medium skin tones with dark pigment. Because it targets melanin, we perform a thorough consultation to ensure it is the right match for your specific skin type.

Is there any downtime?

There is no “true” downtime, though you may experience mild redness and your dark spots will be more prominent for about a week as they heal and lift.

How often should I get IV Therapy?

For general wellness maintenance, many of our clients at Terramé MedSpa enjoy an infusion once or twice a month. However, you can also receive them as needed for recovery or immune support.

Does the IV hurt?

Our medical team is highly trained in gentle administration. Most clients feel only a tiny pinch at the beginning, similar to a quick blood draw.

How long do the effects last?

While you will feel the hydration immediately, the vitamins and nutrients can stay in your system for up to two to three weeks, supporting your body’s natural functions.

Who is a candidate for IV Therapy?

Almost anyone looking to optimize their health! It is particularly popular for busy professionals, athletes, travelers, and anyone recovering from illness or fatigue.
