Thinique Skin & Wellness

  • What services does Thinique Skin and Wellness offer?

    Thinique offers a wide range of services including medical weight loss treatments with GLP-1 injectables, peptide therapy, vitamin injections and IV therapies, non-surgical body sculpting, facial enhancement with dermal fillers and neurotoxins, and various aesthetic services such as RF microneedling, chemical peels, and laser treatments. Our comprehensive approach aims to address both wellness and aesthetic concerns.
  • What is a medical spa and how is it different from a regular spa?

    A medical spa combines elements of a day spa with a medical clinic. Unlike traditional spas, medical spas operate under the supervision of licensed medical professionals and offer non-surgical aesthetic and wellness treatments. These facilities utilize medical-grade equipment, injectables, and prescription therapies to achieve more pronounced and effective results compared to conventional spa treatments.
  • Are weight loss injections like GLP‑1s safe and effective?

    GLP-1 injectables, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, are FDA-approved medications for weight management. These treatments have been shown to be both safe and effective when used as directed. Clinical studies and real-world use indicate that most patients experience a weight loss of approximately 1-3 pounds per week after an initial adjustment period.
  • How long does it take to see results from weight loss injectables?

    Patients typically begin to observe gradual weight reduction within the initial few weeks of treatment. A weight loss of 1-3 pounds per week is common. More significant and noticeable results generally become apparent over a period of 3-4 months of consistent treatment.
  • Can body sculpting treatments help target stubborn fat?

    Body sculpting treatments are specifically designed to address localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Non-invasive options such as cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting Elite), EmSculpt NEO, radiofrequency, and ultrasound technologies can effectively target and reduce these stubborn fat pockets.
  • Will I need to see a doctor before receiving treatments?

    Yes, a medical consultation is required before any treatment at Thinique. As a medical spa, we ensure all procedures are performed under licensed medical supervision. Clients undergo an initial consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, such as a doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant, to develop a personalized and safe treatment plan.
  • Are your treatments painful, and is there any downtime?

    Most treatments at Thinique are associated with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. Injectable therapies for weight loss and vitamins are comparable to standard injections. CoolSculpting may cause temporary sensations of pinching or numbness. Cosmetic injectables like Botox might result in mild bruising or swelling. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimize any discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery process.
  • How often should I come back for maintenance treatments?

    The frequency of maintenance treatments varies depending on the specific service. Weight loss therapies typically require weekly or bi-weekly sessions during the initial phases. Vitamin injections are often administered weekly or monthly. Body sculpting treatments are generally recommended every 6-12 weeks as needed. For injectables like Botox or fillers, treatments are usually scheduled every 3-6 months to maintain optimal results.
  • Can you combine multiple treatments in one visit?

    Thinique offers the flexibility to combine multiple treatments in a single visit. We provide customizable combination packages that can be tailored to your specific goals and schedule. For example, you might choose to pair facial injectables with microneedling, or combine weight loss injections with body contouring treatments.
  • What should I consider when choosing a medical spa?

    When selecting a medical spa, it's important to consider several key factors. These include the presence of medical supervision and the credentials of the providers to ensure safety and expertise. Other important considerations are the cleanliness and standards of the facility, the comprehensiveness of the consultation process, the availability of genuine client reviews and before-and-after galleries, and access to advanced, FDA-approved technology for treatments.
