Compare treatments

See the differences before you compare the promises.

Put treatments beside each other on the job they do, what the menu leaves unresolved, quote structure, provider questions, downtime, follow-up and ongoing commitment. No rankings — the differences are yours to weigh.

Verify before booking

The treatment-specific facts still worth getting in writing.

Botox & other neurotoxins

Injectables

  • Which brand is being used, and how many units for each area — in writing
  • The injector's license type and number, checkable with your state board
  • The total cost including any recommended follow-up, not just the per-unit rate
  • Who to contact if something looks wrong, and whether a touch-up is included
Laser resurfacing (fractional & ablative)

Lasers & energy

  • Which laser and what depth — and how many days of downtime to plan
  • Who performs it and who supervises
  • What is the written plan for infection, cold sore flare-ups, or scarring
  • Whether numbing and aftercare products are included or extra
Microblading & permanent makeup

Facials

  • What license or health-department permit covers the artist and location
  • Which pigment brand, and are blades and needles single-use and opened in front of you
  • Is the touch-up included, and what does removal cost if you don't like it
Dermaplaning

Facials

  • Is the blade single-use and opened in front of you
  • Is anything else (like a peel) combined with it
  • Who performs it, and under which license

These are editorial decision frames, not verdicts. A comparison shows what to verify and what differs; it does not establish that a treatment is appropriate for you. Open each treatment guide for its complete context and source-linked reference material.
