Frequently Asked Questions
Botox / Wrinkle Relaxers
What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles to smooth out fine lines and dynamic wrinkles, most commonly in the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.
When will I see results?
Results typically begin to appear within 5-7 days, with full results visible at 2-3
weeks.
How long do results last?
Most clients enjoy results for 3–4 months.
Will I look frozen?
No. At Mango Aesthetics, we focus on natural-looking results that maintain your
facial expressions.
How many units will I need?
Every face is unique, and the number of units needed can vary depending on individual muscle strength, movement patterns, and desired results. On average, most clients require between 50–64+ units for full facial treatment (forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet).
The best way to determine your exact dosage is by bookingan in-person consultation, where we assess your facial anatomy and customize a treatment plan that’s both effective and natural-looking.

conditions
Post-Treatment Care:
• Avoid lying down or strenuous exercise for 4 hours
• No facials, massage, or pressure on the treated area for 24 hours

Dermal Filler
What is dermal filler used for?
Fillers restore volume and structure, sculpt facial contours, and enhance features like lips, cheeks, chin, and jawline.
When will I see results?
Immediately! Some swelling may occur but results will refine as swelling subsides.
How long do fillers last?
Depending on the area and product used, results can last from 6–18 months.
Is the treatment painful?
Minimal discomfort—topical numbing and advanced techniques make it very
tolerable.
How many syringes of filler will I need?
The number of syringes needed varies from person to person, depending on your facial structure, aesthetic goals, and the level of volume loss or enhancement desired. Some areas may require just one syringe, while full facial balancing or more advanced corrections require several.
The most accurate way to determine how many syringes you’ll need is by booking a through personalized consultation. During your visit, we’ll assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and create a custom treatment plan tailored specifically for you.

Microneedling with PRP
What is microneedling with PRP?
A combination of microneedling- a controlled series of micro-injuries thatbstimulate collagen production- and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance using your body’s natural healing abilities.
What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a natural component derived from your own blood. After a small blood draw, the sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate out the plasma that’s rich in growth factors and healing proteins. This concentrated plasma is then used in treatments to stimulate collagen, improve skin texture, promote healing, and rejuvenate targeted areas such as the face, scalp, or undereyes.
Because it uses your body’s own regenerative properties, PRP is a safe, natural option for clients seeking subtle, long-term improvements in skin health and appearance.
What skin concerns does it treat?
Fine lines, acne scars, large pores, dullness, and uneven skin texture.
How many sessions do I need?
A series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is ideal for most clients.
Is there downtime?
Expect redness for 1–3 days, like a sunburn. Minimal peeling may occur.
Pre-Treatment Tips:
• Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and active skincare ingredients 3–5 days before
• Stay well-hydrated and avoid sun exposure
• No NSAIDs, alcohol, or blood thinners 48 hours prior
Post-Treatment Care:
• Avoid any topical ointments for the first 24 hours- you will be sent home with a
post treatment serum to use.
• Avoid makeup, sun exposure, and workouts for 24–48 hours
• No retinoids or acids for 5–7 days post-treatment
• PRP may cause light flaking—do not pick at the skin
Under-Eye PRP Injections
What do under-eye PRP injections treat?
Dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles, crepey skin, and hollowness—by using your own platelets to naturally stimulate collagen and circulation.
What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a natural component derived from your own blood. After a small blood draw, the sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate out the plasma that’s rich in growth factors and healing proteins. This concentrated plasma is then used in treatments to stimulate collagen, improve skin texture, promote healing, and rejuvenate targeted areas such as the face, scalp, or undereyes.
Because it uses your body’s own regenerative properties, PRP is a safe, natural option for clients seeking subtle, long-term improvements in skin health and appearance.
Is PRP the same as filler?
No. PRP is regenerative—it heals and refreshes, but doesn’t add volume like filler.
When will I see results?
Gradual improvement begins around 3–4 weeks post-treatment, with continued
results over several months.
How many sessions are recommended?
Typically 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Pre-Treatment Tips:
• Hydrate well for 24–48 hours before (this helps us get the best PRP sample)
• Avoid alcohol, NSAIDs, and blood thinners 48 hours before
• Arrive with clean skin
Post-Treatment Care:
• Mild swelling or bruising is normal and fades within a few days
• Avoid makeup, rubbing the area, or sun exposure for 24 hours
• Use gentle skincare only for 2–3 days
