Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on which treatment is recommended and the areas being addressed. Botox is priced per unit or per area depending on the practice. Laser and device treatments are priced by session. During your consultation, your provider will build a personalized treatment plan and provide pricing. SG Aesthetics offers financing options for patients who prefer to spread the cost over time.
Botox works by relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles — lines that form from repetitive facial movement like squinting or frowning. Laser treatments like CO2 laser work by stimulating collagen production in the skin itself, improving skin quality and reducing both fine lines and deeper structural wrinkles. Many patients benefit from combining both approaches, with Botox addressing movement-related lines and a laser or device treatment improving overall skin texture and firmness.
Duration varies by treatment. Botox typically lasts 3–4 months before a touch-up is needed. Microneedling results develop over 3–6 months and can be maintained with periodic treatments. CO2 laser and Morpheus8 produce longer-lasting collagen improvement, though the natural aging process continues over time. Your provider will discuss a maintenance schedule at your consultation.
Botox requires no downtime and most patients return to normal activity the same day. Aerolase is another low-downtime option that uses laser energy to improve skin tone and early fine lines with minimal redness. Chemical peels at lighter depths involve minimal peeling and limited downtime. UltraGlow is a gentle light-based treatment used for overall skin rejuvenation with no required recovery. Your provider will help you identify the right option based on your schedule and goals. Aerolase in Charleston, SC, Chemical Peels in Charleston, SC, and UltraGlow in Charleston, SC.
Preventive treatment is possible and is increasingly requested by patients in their late twenties and thirties. Botox used before lines become deeply set can slow their progression by limiting repetitive muscle movement. Regular microneedling and laser maintenance treatments support collagen levels over time. Daily SPF use and a medical-grade skincare regimen are essential components of any prevention plan. Your provider can recommend a long-term strategy at your consultation.
