Frequently asked questions

Question 1

Is the treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Most treatments are well tolerated, and we take care to keep any discomfort to a minimum. Our TEOXANE hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine for a more comfortable procedure, and we can apply a topical anaesthetic cream where needed. Sensitivity differs from person to person, so your doctor will discuss with you what to expect during the consultation.

Question 2

How long does a treatment take?

Accepted Answer

Most aesthetic procedures take about 20 to 45 minutes, with injectable treatments typically taking 20 to 30 minutes. Injectable treatments such as TEOXANE fillers or Cellbooster mesotherapy are usually quick, while more comprehensive plans may require a little more time. Your doctor will give you a precise timeframe based on your individual plan.

Question 3

When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Some treatments, such as hyaluronic acid fillers, typically show a visible change soon after the procedure, with the final shape settling after a few days once any swelling subsides. Regenerative treatments like MASTELLI Plinest polynucleotides or mesotherapy develop gradually, typically over several weeks, and are usually performed as a course over multiple sessions. Results vary from person to person, and your doctor will outline realistic expectations during the consultation.

Question 4

How much downtime is there, can I return to work?

Accepted Answer

Many injectable treatments involve short or minimal downtime, so most people return to their daily routine the same day. Mild redness, swelling and tenderness usually settle within a few days, and small bruises can occur that may take up to one or two weeks to fade completely. Larger procedures may require a longer recovery, which your doctor will explain to you in detail beforehand. Rarely, more serious complications can occur, so if you notice any unusual symptoms after treatment (severe pain, visual disturbance, skin discolouration) please contact your doctor immediately.

Question 5

Is there a consultation before treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every treatment begins with a personal medical consultation where we assess your needs, health and expectations. This is where we discuss the options, the likely outcome and any questions you have before any decision is made. For us, the consultation is not a formality but the foundation of a personalised plan.

Question 6

Who performs the treatments?

Accepted Answer

Our treatments are carried out by qualified specialist doctors, including an ENT and aesthetic physician, an OB-GYN, a plastic surgeon and a dermatologist. Every procedure is performed with medical expertise and the relevant specialist's experience. During the consultation you will meet the doctor who will guide you through the process.

Question 7

Are the treatments safe?

Accepted Answer

Patient safety is at the heart of every decision we make: we work in a medical setting, in the hands of specialist doctors, with clinically established Swiss products such as TEOXANE and MASTELLI. Every procedure is preceded by a thorough medical assessment to rule out possible contraindications. Any medical procedure carries some risk, and your doctor will review these openly with you during the consultation.

Question 8

How should I prepare for a treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most treatments require no special preparation, but it is advisable to avoid blood-thinning agents (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil and vitamin E) for about a week beforehand and alcohol the day before, as these can increase the chance of bruising. Do not stop any prescription blood thinners (or any regular medication) without first consulting your doctor. Please tell us at the consultation about any regular medications, allergies, previous aesthetic treatments, and whether you might be pregnant or breastfeeding. Please arrive without makeup if a facial treatment is planned. Your doctor will give you the precise instructions tailored to your specific treatment in advance.

Question 9

Are the results long-lasting, and will the treatment need repeating?

Accepted Answer

The longevity of results depends on the type of treatment, the product used and your individual characteristics. The effect of hyaluronic acid fillers typically lasts several months, sometimes up to a year or more depending on the area treated, while regenerative treatments are often performed as a course over several sessions. The effect gradually diminishes over time, so repeat treatments may be needed to maintain the appearance. Your doctor will tailor the maintenance schedule to your treatment plan.

Question 10

How can I book an appointment, and may I bring a companion?

Accepted Answer

You can easily book an appointment by phone, email or through our website, and a member of our team will help you find a time that suits you. Our clinic is located at 5 Retkoz Street, 1118 Budapest, in an easily accessible location. You are of course welcome to bring a companion; please let us know in advance so we can ensure a comfortable setting.

Question 11

How can I book an appointment at the clinic?

Accepted Answer

You can book online on our website, by phone, or by email. Our team confirms the appointment and sends everything you need to know before your first consultation. If you are unsure which doctor suits which treatment, call us and we will help you choose.

Question 12

How do I reschedule or cancel my appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can reschedule or cancel by phone or email, ideally at least 24 hours in advance so we can offer the slot to other patients. If something comes up, just let us know and we will find a new time for you. We always handle courteous, timely changes with flexibility.

Question 13

Is there parking near the clinic?

Accepted Answer

Our clinic is located at 5 Retkoz Street in the 11th district of Budapest, with parking available on the surrounding streets. If you arrive by car, we suggest allowing a few extra minutes to find a space. When we confirm your booking, our team is happy to share directions for getting here.

Question 14

What are the clinic's opening hours?

Accepted Answer

Treatments are provided by prior appointment, so consulting hours depend on each doctor's schedule. When you book, we offer the earliest available time that also suits you, including early evening slots where possible. For up to date opening hours, please contact us by phone or email.

Question 15

Where is the clinic, and how accessible is it?

Accepted Answer

Our clinic is at 5 Retkoz Street in the 11th district of Budapest, well connected by public transport and easy to reach by car. If you have reduced mobility or any special needs regarding your arrival, please let us know in advance so we can prepare to welcome you. Our team will confirm the arrival details with you in every case.

Question 16

What payment and installment options are available?

Accepted Answer

You can pay for treatments by bank card or in cash, and our reception will give you the precise details. For larger treatment packages, it is worth asking at your consultation about the payment arrangements currently available. We always communicate prices transparently and in advance, before any treatment begins.

Question 17

Can a companion come with me to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Of course, if you feel more at ease with someone alongside you, they are welcome to wait in our reception area. After most aesthetic treatments you can drive yourself home without any issue, but after certain procedures (for example those involving sedation or that temporarily affect vision or coordination) it may be advisable not to drive. In those cases, having someone to accompany you home can be helpful. Please mention at booking if you are bringing a companion so we can arrange a comfortable seat, and your doctor will give you precise guidance for your specific treatment.

Question 18

What can I expect during my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit always begins with an unhurried consultation, where your doctor listens to your goals, reviews your health, medical history, current medications and any allergies, and then talks honestly about the options and their limits. Our aim is a shared decision rather than pressure, so a treatment does not necessarily take place on the same day. Please bring any relevant previous medical records, and feel free to ask about anything.

Question 19

How is my personal and health data handled?

Accepted Answer

Your data is kept confidential in line with applicable European and Hungarian data protection rules, and is used only for the purposes of your care. Only authorised medical and reception staff can access your health records. You may request information about the data we hold about you at any time and exercise your data protection rights.

Question 20

Do you speak English and welcome patients from abroad?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our clinic welcomes international and medical tourism patients, and our team is glad to assist you in English. When booking, let us know if you are travelling from abroad so we can align appointments with your trip and send all the necessary information in advance. Consultations and treatment planning can be conducted smoothly in English as well.

Question 21

How much time should I set aside for a consultation or treatment?

Accepted Answer

Consultations are conducted at an unhurried pace, and it is worth allowing about 20 minutes so all your questions can be addressed. Treatment durations vary by type, typically around 20 to 45 minutes, and we give you precise details at booking and again at your consultation. We never rush anyone here, as attentive care is part of the quality we offer.

Question 22

What should I do if I am running late or something comes up on the day?

Accepted Answer

If you are running late, please call us: we try to find a solution, though with a longer delay we may need to move the treatment to a new time out of respect for other patients. If something comes up on the day, a brief message is enough and we will reschedule your booking. We always aim for a flexible, considerate solution.

Question 23

How much does lip filler cost in Budapest?

Accepted Answer

Lip filler pricing depends on several factors: the type and amount of hyaluronic acid used and the treating doctor. At our clinic we work with premium TEOXANE products, and we give you a precise quote during your personal consultation based on your goals. Typically one syringe (1 ml) of hyaluronic acid is used, but your individual anatomy determines the exact amount.

Question 24

How long does Botox last?

Accepted Answer

BOTOX effects typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on your individual metabolism, muscle activity, and the treated areas; in some cases they may last longer, up to 5 to 6 months. In some people the effect may last longer after regular, properly spaced repetition, though the evidence for this is limited. Your doctor will advise you on the exact duration and the timing of repeat treatments.

Question 25

What is the difference between Botox and hyaluronic acid?

Accepted Answer

BOTOX relaxes muscle activity, so it is suited to softening dynamic (movement-related) wrinkles, for example on the forehead or around the eyes. Hyaluronic acid is a volumising filler that fills deeper lines and shapes the facial contour, for example the lips or cheekbones. The two treatments often complement each other: which one suits you is determined by your doctor during the consultation.

Question 26

Which treatment tightens skin without surgery?

Accepted Answer

There are several non-surgical options for skin tightening, for example Morpheus8 microneedling radiofrequency, mesotherapy (Cellbooster), and polynucleotide-based Plinest (MASTELLI), which support the skin's own regeneration. Non-surgical treatments work best for mild to moderate laxity; for significant sagging a surgical approach may be more effective. The right method depends on your skin condition, age, and goals, so during the consultation your doctor will assess your skin and recommend a personalised plan.

Question 27

Which anti-wrinkle treatments can I choose from after 40?

Accepted Answer

After 40 a combined approach often works well: BOTOX for dynamic wrinkles, hyaluronic acid for volume loss, and mesotherapy or polynucleotide treatment for skin quality. There is no single universal solution, because every skin is different. During your personal consultation your doctor will assess your skin and put together a protocol tailored to you.

Question 28

How much does a Botox treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

The price of a BOTOX treatment depends on the number of areas treated and the amount required, so for example the forehead, eye area, and frown lines can be treated separately or in combination. We can give you a precise quote after the consultation, once your doctor has assessed your needs. At our clinic we work only with original, verified products.

Question 29

Does lip filler hurt?

Accepted Answer

During lip filler most patients typically feel mild discomfort rather than strong pain. Modern hyaluronic acid products such as TEOXANE contain a local anaesthetic (lidocaine), and for your comfort we also use topical numbing cream. Pain perception is individual, and your doctor will explain this in detail during the consultation.

Question 30

How long does hyaluronic acid facial filler last?

Accepted Answer

Hyaluronic acid facial filler typically lasts 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of product used, the treated area, and your individual metabolism. In more mobile areas such as the lips it often absorbs sooner than in the more stable cheekbone area. Your doctor will advise you on the expected duration before the treatment.

Question 31

What is Morpheus8 and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Morpheus8 is a microneedling radiofrequency treatment that heats the deeper layers of the skin to support collagen production, so it is used to improve skin quality and firmness. It is often chosen for enlarged pores, mild laxity, or uneven skin texture. Whether the treatment is suitable for you is decided by your doctor during a skin assessment.

Question 32

How can I get rid of dark under-eye circles?

Accepted Answer

Dark under-eye circles can have several causes: volume loss, thin skin, pigmentation, or genetic predisposition, so the treatment depends on these. Options may include delicate hyaluronic acid filler in the tear trough area or mesotherapy to improve skin quality. Your doctor will recommend the right solution after assessing your eye area.

Question 33

What is polynucleotide treatment and what is it good for?

Accepted Answer

Polynucleotide treatment, such as MASTELLI Plinest, supports the skin's own regeneration processes, so it is used to improve hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. It is often chosen for dull, dry, or tired-looking skin, including the eye area. Your doctor will advise on the recommended number of sessions and suitability during the consultation.

Question 34

How much does facial filler with hyaluronic acid cost?

Accepted Answer

The price of facial filler depends on the areas treated (cheekbone, chin, tear trough, nasolabial folds) and the amount of hyaluronic acid required. At our clinic we work with premium TEOXANE products, and we give you a quote during the personal consultation based on your treatment plan. This way we avoid using more than necessary.

Question 35

What is the recovery time after facial filler?

Accepted Answer

After facial filler most patients can usually return to everyday activities within a short time, as it is a minimally invasive treatment. Mild swelling or small bruising at the injection site may occur, which usually resolves within a few days, though it can occasionally last one to two weeks. It is advisable to avoid strenuous physical activity for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. Your doctor will explain the aftercare and possible temporary symptoms in detail.

Question 36

What is mesotherapy and how does it refresh the skin?

Accepted Answer

During mesotherapy, such as the Cellbooster treatment, active ingredients (for example hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants) are delivered into the skin (intradermally), so it is used to improve hydration and radiance. It is often chosen as a course of sessions to refresh dull or tired facial skin. Your doctor will tailor the exact formulation and number of sessions to your skin condition.

Question 37

Where should I have aesthetic treatments done in Budapest?

Accepted Answer

When choosing an aesthetic treatment, it is worth looking for a clinic with a medical background where a specialist doctor performs the treatment and original, verified products are used. Our clinic in District XI (1118 Budapest, Retkoz u. 5) is staffed by specialist doctors and works with premium brands such as Swiss TEOXANE and Italian MASTELLI. The best first step is a personal consultation where we assess your needs.

Question 38

Does hyaluronic acid dissolve on its own?

Accepted Answer

Yes, hyaluronic acid used for aesthetic purposes is naturally absorbed over time, as it is a biodegradable filler similar to the body's own substance. The rate of absorption depends on the product type, the treated area, and your individual metabolism. If needed, hyaluronic acid can also be dissolved with a special enzyme (hyaluronidase), and your doctor will inform you about this.

Question 39

How can cheekbones be enhanced without surgery?

Accepted Answer

Cheekbones can be shaped without surgery using hyaluronic acid filler, which adds volume and highlights the facial contour. The treatment is minimally invasive, performed by injection, and the result is typically visible right after the treatment, although mild swelling may occur at first. How much product and which technique suit you is determined by your doctor based on an assessment of your facial proportions.

Question 40

Which treatment helps with fine expression lines?

Accepted Answer

Fine expression lines such as crow's feet or forehead lines are typically helped by BOTOX, because it relaxes the muscles that create the wrinkles. For very fine, early lines, skin-quality treatments such as mesotherapy can also contribute to a fresher appearance. Which approach suits you is decided by your doctor during the consultation.

Question 41

How long does lip filler last?

Accepted Answer

Hyaluronic acid lip filler typically lasts 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used, your metabolism and lifestyle. The body gradually and naturally breaks down the hyaluronic acid, so the transition is unnoticeable. Individual results may vary, and your doctor may recommend a refresher treatment when needed to maintain the desired look.

Question 42

Will my lips still look natural after filler?

Accepted Answer

Our goal is a harmonious, balanced result that suits your facial features, not exaggeration. We work with premium hyaluronic acid products and a conservative technique, building up in stages if needed, so the lips stay soft and natural to the touch. Your doctor will discuss your desired look with you before the treatment and set realistic expectations based on your individual anatomy.

Question 43

What is the recovery time after lip filler?

Accepted Answer

Most patients return to their daily activities right after the treatment. The lips may be swollen in the first days, and minor bruising can occasionally occur, which usually settles within a few days. Swelling can sometimes take up to a week or two to fully resolve before you see the final result. Your doctor will provide detailed aftercare advice so that healing is smooth.

Question 44

What lip filler product do you use at the clinic?

Accepted Answer

We work with Swiss, premium hyaluronic acid based fillers, primarily the TEOXANE range, which offers variants developed specifically for the delicate tissue of the lips. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body, so it is usually well tolerated. Your doctor selects the specific product based on your anatomy and goals.

Question 45

Is lip filler reversible if I am not happy with it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, one advantage of hyaluronic acid lip filler is that, if needed, it can be partly or fully dissolved using a special enzyme (hyaluronidase). This offers peace of mind if you wish to adjust the result. Dissolving is itself a medical procedure with its own risks (for example, rarely, an allergic reaction), so it is worth discussing the options with your doctor before treatment.

Question 46

How long does a lip filler appointment take?

Accepted Answer

The injection itself usually takes about 30 minutes, and allowing for the full consultation, anaesthetic and post-treatment discussion, it is best to plan for about an hour. At your first visit we set aside a little more time for a thorough medical consultation. This means there is no rush, and all your questions are answered.

Question 47

What should I be careful about after lip filler?

Accepted Answer

In the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid intense exercise, sauna, sunbeds and alcohol, as these can increase swelling. It is best to be gentle with the area, drink plenty of fluids and avoid pressing or rubbing the lips. If you notice unusual or worsening pain, discoloration, blanching (whitening) of the skin or persistent symptoms, contact your doctor promptly. Your doctor will always give you personalised aftercare advice.

Question 48

Who is lip filler not recommended for?

Accepted Answer

Lip filler is generally not advised during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in the presence of an active herpes outbreak or inflammation, with a skin infection in the area to be treated, with certain clotting disorders, a known hyaluronic acid allergy, or a known hypersensitivity to local anaesthetics such as lidocaine. If you are prone to recurrent herpes, your doctor may recommend preventive treatment. Before every treatment we hold a detailed medical consultation to assess your health and the medicines you take. Your doctor decides whether the treatment can be carried out safely.

Question 49

How much does lip filler cost at the clinic?

Accepted Answer

The price of lip filler depends on the product used and the amount needed, so we can give you the exact figure at a personal consultation. At our clinic we work exclusively with premium, Swiss hyaluronic acid materials, and we always agree the treatment fee in advance and transparently. Book a consultation, where we discuss all the details.

Question 50

What is hyaluronic acid wrinkle and volume restoration, and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the skin that binds water, filling in lines and restoring fullness. At our clinic we use TEOXANE fillers, placed in the appropriate layer of the skin depending on the treated area. The result is typically visible right away, with the final effect settling over a few days as any initial swelling resolves, and your doctor will discuss during the consultation which product suits your needs.

Question 51

Which areas can be treated with hyaluronic acid fillers?

Accepted Answer

The most commonly treated areas are the nasolabial folds, the corners of the mouth, the lips, the cheekbones and chin, and the under eye area. Each area calls for a different product density and technique, so your doctor assesses what is advisable for your face during the consultation. Some zones require extra caution, particularly the under eye area and the region around the nose, where the doctor decides individually about treatment.

Question 52

Is the hyaluronic acid treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Most patients describe the treatment as a mild, well tolerated sensation. Many TEOXANE fillers contain a built in anaesthetic (lidocaine), and we can also apply a topical numbing cream for added comfort. Your experience may be individual, so your doctor will go through what to expect before the treatment.

Question 53

How long do hyaluronic acid filler results last?

Accepted Answer

Longevity depends on the treated area, the product used and your individual metabolism, typically between 6 and 18 months. More mobile areas, such as the lips, generally need refreshing sooner. Your doctor will advise at your follow up when a next treatment is worth considering.

Question 54

What side effects should I expect after the treatment?

Accepted Answer

The most common temporary signs are mild swelling, redness, tenderness or a small bruise at the treated area, which in most cases resolve within a few days. Your doctor provides detailed aftercare instructions following the treatment. Rarely, more serious complications can occur, so if you notice severe or increasing pain, skin discolouration, visual disturbance or any unusual symptom, please contact us immediately.

Question 55

How much downtime is there, when can I return to my routine?

Accepted Answer

Hyaluronic acid treatment usually involves minimal downtime, and many people return to their daily activities the same day. In the first 24 to 48 hours it is advisable to avoid intense exercise, sauna and strong sun. Your doctor gives personalised aftercare advice at the end of the treatment.

Question 56

Will my facial expression stay natural after the filler?

Accepted Answer

Our aim is a subtle, harmonious result that preserves the naturalness of your expression. The varied densities within the TEOXANE range allow your doctor to use a restrained amount suited to each area. The treatment is always guided by your facial character and wishes, not a one size fits all template.

Question 57

Is hyaluronic acid treatment reversible if I am not satisfied?

Accepted Answer

One advantage of hyaluronic acid based fillers is that, if needed, a doctor can partly or fully dissolve them with a special enzyme (hyaluronidase). This is not only about satisfaction: the same enzyme also allows rapid management of any complication, which is why it matters that the treatment is performed by an experienced doctor who can offer this option. We can discuss the possibility of any correction during the consultation.

Question 58

Who is not suitable for hyaluronic acid filler?

Accepted Answer

The treatment suits most people, but in certain cases, for example pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin inflammation or infection at the treated area, bleeding disorders, autoimmune conditions, or a known hyaluronic acid allergy, it is not advised or only with limitations. Your doctor always assesses suitability during the consultation, based on your medical history and medications. Please share your full health information and medications before the examination.

Question 59

How do I prepare for the treatment, and how much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

A few days before treatment it is advisable to avoid blood thinning agents and alcohol to reduce the chance of bruising, and your doctor will give precise guidance at the consultation. Important: do not stop any prescribed blood thinning medication on your own, always discuss this with your treating physician first. The price depends on the product used and the treated area, so we can provide a final quote after the in person examination. Book a consultation appointment where we discuss everything in detail.

Question 60

What is a botulinum toxin treatment, and how does it smooth expression lines?

Accepted Answer

Botulinum toxin is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles, so the lines on the forehead, around the eyes and between the brows can become softer. The treatment reduces the muscle contraction responsible for the wrinkles, it does not add volume. During the consultation your doctor will discuss which areas are suitable to treat.

Question 61

Is a Botox treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

The treatment is performed with a very fine needle, and most patients feel only a brief, mild pinching sensation. A topical numbing cream is available if you find the area sensitive. The procedure usually takes about 20 minutes.

Question 62

How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?

Accepted Answer

The effect develops gradually, typically within 3 to 7 days, with the full result usually visible after about two weeks. In most cases the smoothing lasts 3 to 4 months, after which muscle activity slowly returns. The duration can vary from person to person, and your doctor will advise you during the consultation.

Question 63

Will my facial expressions still look natural after treatment?

Accepted Answer

The goal is always a natural, well rested look, not a completely frozen face. Our doctors treat conservatively while keeping your expressions in mind, so that the naturalness of your facial movement is preserved. Results can vary from person to person, depending among other things on the depth of existing lines and on muscle activity. During the consultation we discuss the result you would like to achieve and what can realistically be expected.

Question 64

How much does a Botox treatment cost at the clinic?

Accepted Answer

The price depends on the number of areas treated and the amount required, so we can give you the exact figure at your personal consultation. During the assessment we prepare a detailed, individual quote. Book an appointment and we will be glad to answer all your questions.
