Question 1

What is VELÈ Aesthetics?

Accepted Answer

VELÈ is a premium medical aesthetics clinic in Tbilisi, located at 4 Otar Oniashvili Street, where all procedures are performed by physicians. The clinic’s approach is built around individual consultation — every procedure begins with a meeting with a doctor, who assesses the patient’s skin condition, medical history, and goals to ensure a natural, safe result.

Question 2

How can I book an appointment at VELÈ?

Accepted Answer

Appointments can be booked through the website www.vele.ge using the online booking form, or by phone at +995 510 00 42 46. The clinic is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The first visit is typically a consultation with a doctor, during which the appropriate procedure and an individual treatment plan are determined.

Question 3

Why is a consultation required before a procedure?

Accepted Answer

A consultation is necessary because aesthetic procedures are medical interventions that require an individual assessment of the patient’s skin type, health status, and aesthetic goals. The doctor checks for possible contraindications (for example, pregnancy, allergies, or certain chronic conditions) and selects the appropriate procedure type and dosage to ensure safety and effectiveness for that patient.

Question 4

How much do procedures at VELÈ cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices depend on the type of procedure, the amount of product used, and the patient’s individual needs ,The exact cost is determined only after a consultation with the doctor, since several treatment zones or product quantities may need to be factored in.

Question 5

Are aesthetic injections and procedures safe?

Accepted Answer

Injectable and device-based procedures performed correctly are considered safe when carried out by a qualified physician in a sterile, medically compliant setting. However, any invasive or minimally invasive intervention carries certain risks (swelling, bruising, and, rarely, allergic reaction). This is why a prior consultation and review of medical history are mandatory steps.

Question 6

How long does recovery take after a procedure?

Accepted Answer

Recovery time depends on the specific procedure — mild swelling or redness after injectable treatments typically resolves within 1–3 days, while device-based procedures (such as microneedling) may require up to 3–5 days for the skin to settle. During the consultation, the doctor provides individual recommendations regarding recovery time and aftercare.

Question 7

Are there contraindications for aesthetic procedures?

Accepted Answer

Yes — aesthetic injections and device-based procedures are generally not performed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, active skin infections, certain autoimmune conditions, or known allergies to specific ingredients. The complete list of contraindications is determined individually during a consultation with the doctor, based on a detailed review of the patient’s medical history.

Question 8

How often do procedures need to be repeated?

Accepted Answer

The frequency of repeat treatments depends on the procedure type and individual metabolism. Botulinum toxin’s effect typically lasts 3–4 months, hyaluronic acid-based fillers last 6–18 months, while biorevitalization and mesotherapy courses usually require several sessions spaced a few weeks apart. The doctor determines the exact schedule during a consultation.

Question 9

Who performs the procedures at VELÈ?

Accepted Answer

At VELÈ, every injectable and device-based procedure is performed by a physician or under a physician’s direct supervision. This is a core principle of the clinic, ensuring medical safety, accurate assessment, and individual customization of each procedure to the patient’s anatomy and goals.

Question 10

Can multiple procedures be combined in one visit?

Accepted Answer

Some procedures can be combined in the same visit or with a short interval between them (for example, botulinum toxin and filler), though this is always determined individually by the doctor based on the patient’s skin condition, the type of intervention, and safety considerations. During the consultation, the doctor will recommend the most suitable sequence and plan.

Question 11

What is a dermal filler?

Accepted Answer

A dermal filler is an injectable product, typically based on hyaluronic acid, used under the skin to restore volume or refine facial contours — for example, in the cheeks, chin, or nasolabial area. At VELÈ, the filler procedure takes 45–60 minutes and is designed to achieve a natural, harmonious result without excess volume.

Question 12

How long does a filler’s effect last?

Accepted Answer

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used and the treatment area — for example, the effect fades faster in the lips than in the cheek area. Duration is also influenced by individual metabolism and lifestyle. Maintaining the effect requires periodic repeat treatments.

Question 13

Who should avoid filler treatment?

Accepted Answer

Fillers are generally not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infection, or in cases of a known allergy to hyaluronic acid. VELÈ’s doctors evaluate every patient individually during a consultation, including a review of medical history, before any procedure is performed.

Question 14

What does the skin rejuvenation procedure involve?

Accepted Answer

Skin rejuvenation is a medical-grade program aimed at improving skin texture, tone, hydration, and overall quality. At VELÈ, the procedure takes approximately 45 minutes and is selected individually by the doctor based on the patient’s skin type and age-related changes.

Question 15

How many sessions are needed to see results?

Accepted Answer

A course of 3–4 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, is typically recommended for visible results. The doctor determines the individual protocol during the first consultation, based on a detailed skin assessment.

Question 16

Is the skin rejuvenation procedure painful?

Accepted Answer

Most patients experience minimal discomfort, as a topical numbing cream is often applied beforehand. Sensation is individual and depends on the method used. The doctor will explain in advance what to expect based on the specific technique.

Question 17

What is biorevitalization?

Accepted Answer

Biorevitalization is an injectable skin-booster procedure based on non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, delivered into the superficial layers of the skin to improve hydration, elasticity, and texture. At VELÈ, a session takes approximately 40 minutes and is especially recommended for dry or fatigued-looking skin.

Question 18

How often does biorevitalization need to be repeated?

Accepted Answer

The initial course typically includes 3 sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart, followed by a maintenance session every 3–6 months to preserve results. The exact schedule is determined individually by the doctor, based on skin type and treatment response.

Question 19

What is the difference between biorevitalization and skin boosters?

Accepted Answer

Both procedures use hyaluronic acid for hydration, but biorevitalization is generally focused on overall skin recovery and radiance, while skin boosters use stabilized hyaluronic acid for a deeper, longer-lasting hydration effect. The specific choice depends on the patient’s skin needs, and the doctor determines the most suitable option during a consultation.

Question 20

What does a chemical peel do?

Accepted Answer

A chemical peel is a procedure in which physician-selected acids are applied to the skin’s surface to achieve controlled exfoliation — helping to even out texture, reduce pigmentation, and stimulate skin renewal. At VELÈ, the procedure takes 30–45 minutes and its intensity is adjusted to the patient’s skin type.

Question 21

How long does redness last after a peel?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the peel’s intensity, redness or mild peeling can last from 1 to 5 days. Deeper peels may require a longer recovery period. The doctor will explain the expected process in advance and provide aftercare recommendations for the post-treatment period.

Question 22

Who is a chemical peel suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Chemical peels are often recommended for patients with uneven tone, pigmentation spots, acne scarring, or a buildup of dead skin cells. However, the procedure may not be recommended during active skin inflammation, sunburn, or while taking certain medications — the doctor will advise on this during a consultation.

Question 23

What is PRP therapy?

Accepted Answer

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a procedure in which platelet-rich plasma, separated from the patient’s own blood, is injected into the skin or scalp to stimulate regeneration and repair processes. At VELÈ, a session takes approximately 60 minutes.

Question 24

What is PRP therapy used for?

Accepted Answer

PRP therapy is often used to improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall radiance, as well as in hair growth stimulation protocols. Because the procedure uses the patient’s own biological material, the risk of allergic reaction is relatively low, though final suitability is determined individually by the doctor.

Question 25

How many sessions of PRP therapy are needed?

Accepted Answer

A standard protocol typically includes 3–4 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months. The exact plan depends on the patient’s goal (skin recovery or hair stimulation) and is determined during a consultation with the doctor.

Question 26

How does laser hair removal work?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal uses laser light energy, which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and weakens its ability to grow hair over time. At VELÈ, the procedure is performed following a medical assessment and takes 20–60 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.

Question 27

How many sessions are needed for visible results?

Accepted Answer

Due to the nature of the hair growth cycle, 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are typically needed for a noticeable reduction in hair growth. The exact number of sessions depends on hair and skin type, hormonal factors, and the treatment area — this is assessed individually by the doctor.

Question 28

Is laser hair removal painful?

Accepted Answer

The sensation is often described as a mild tingling or warmth and depends on individual sensitivity and the treatment area. VELÈ’s procedures are comfort-focused, using modern equipment to minimize discomfort, though individual sensation may vary.

Question 29

What does lip contouring involve?

Accepted Answer

Lip contouring is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable procedure aimed at gently refining lip shape, adding hydration, and improving proportion in harmony with the overall facial structure. At VELÈ, the procedure takes approximately 45 minutes and is designed for a natural, non-exaggerated result.

Question 30

How long does lip filler last?

Accepted Answer

Hyaluronic acid metabolizes faster in the lip area than in other facial zones due to active movement — the effect typically lasts 6–9 months. Duration is influenced by individual metabolism and the type of product used.

Question 31

Is lip contouring painful?

Accepted Answer

The lip area is relatively sensitive, but a topical numbing agent is typically applied before the procedure to reduce discomfort. Mild swelling may occur afterward, usually subsiding within 1–3 days.

Question 32

What does botulinum therapy do?

Accepted Answer

Botulinum therapy is a well-studied, clinically established injectable procedure that temporarily relaxes muscle activity to reduce dynamic facial wrinkles (for example, in the forehead or around the eyes). At VELÈ, a session takes approximately 30 minutes, with the effect gradually appearing over 3–14 days.

Question 33

How long does botulinum therapy’s effect last?

Accepted Answer

The effect typically lasts 3–4 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns to its original state and wrinkles gradually reappear. With regular repeat treatments, some patients may notice a reduction in wrinkle intensity over time, though this is individual.

Question 34

At what age can botulinum therapy be started?

Accepted Answer

This is an individual matter and depends on skin condition and the degree of dynamic wrinkles, not age alone. Some patients start the procedure preventively at a younger age, while others begin after wrinkles have already formed. The doctor provides a final recommendation based on an individual assessment.

Question 35

What does mesotherapy involve?

Accepted Answer

Mesotherapy is an injectable procedure in which a blend of vitamins, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid is delivered into the superficial layers of the skin to provide deep nourishment, hydration, and restore overall vitality. At VELÈ, a session takes 30–45 minutes.

Question 36

How many sessions are included in a mesotherapy course?

Accepted Answer

A standard initial course typically includes 4–6 sessions, spaced 1–2 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 1–2 months. The number and frequency of sessions depends on the skin’s initial condition and goal, and is determined individually by the doctor.

Question 37

Who is mesotherapy recommended for?

Accepted Answer

Mesotherapy is often recommended for patients with dry, fatigued, or dehydrated skin, as well as for preventing early signs of aging. The procedure is generally not performed during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or active skin infection — final assessment is provided by the doctor during a consultation.

Question 38

How does a skin booster differ from a regular filler?

Accepted Answer

A skin booster uses stabilized hyaluronic acid distributed evenly across the skin’s surface to deeply hydrate, smooth texture, and restore natural radiance — adding volume is not the primary goal, unlike a volumizing filler, which is focused on correcting the shape of a specific area.

Question 39

How long does a skin booster’s effect last?

Accepted Answer

The effect typically lasts 6–12 months, depending on the product used and individual skin metabolism. The initial course often includes 2–3 sessions, followed by a maintenance visit once or twice a year, based on the doctor’s recommendation.

Question 40

What results can a patient expect after a skin booster treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most patients notice improved hydration, smoothness, and radiance gradually, within a few days or after a few sessions. Results are individual and depend on the skin’s initial condition — the doctor will set realistic expectations during the consultation.

Question 41

What is the difference between botulinum therapy and botulinum toxin in VELÈ’s procedure list?

Accepted Answer

Both are based on the same principle — an injection of botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax facial muscles, soften wrinkles, and achieve aesthetic balance. The specific protocol and approach are selected individually based on the patient’s facial anatomy and goals, during a consultation with the doctor.

Question 42

How soon does botulinum toxin’s effect become visible?

Accepted Answer

Initial effects can be noticed 2–3 days after the procedure, while the full effect typically appears within 10–14 days. At VELÈ, a session takes only 15–20 minutes, though a follow-up visit is recommended 2 weeks after the procedure to assess the final result.

Question 43

What should be avoided after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

It is generally recommended to avoid lying down with the head tilted, intense physical activity, and massaging the injection area for several hours after the procedure, so the product can properly settle in the target muscle. The doctor will provide complete, individual aftercare recommendations during the consultation.

Question 44

What is Dermapen and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Dermapen is a microneedling therapy in which fine needles create controlled, microscopic injuries in the skin, stimulating the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin. At VELÈ, a session takes 40–60 minutes and is used to reduce post-acne scarring and improve skin texture.

Question 45

How many sessions are needed for a Dermapen course?

Accepted Answer

A standard course typically includes 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, in line with the skin’s natural regeneration cycle. In cases of scarring or deeper skin concerns, additional sessions may be needed — the exact plan is determined by the doctor after an initial skin assessment.

Question 46

How long does recovery take after Dermapen?

Accepted Answer

Redness and mild swelling may occur after the procedure, typically subsiding within 2–3 days, after which a normal skincare routine can resume. Recovery may take slightly longer for deeper microneedling. Sun protection is especially important during the post-treatment period.
