Frequently Asked Questions
Here as some questions we often receive.
if you have any more, contact us or come in for a consultation.

Aesthetics
We understand there is concern about aesthetic treatments. If you are new to Botox Cosmetic and dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Belotero and Restylane, or interested in Kybella to reduce or eliminate that double chin, we are happy to answer any of your questions over the phone prior to meeting you so that you will be completely comfortable at your appointment.
A non-surgical option for treating your wrinkles, Botox Cosmetic is the leading brand for smoothing the glabella, forehead lines and crows feet. Botox Cosmetic is a prescription medication that is injected into the muscle to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Botox Cosmetic can last up to six months.
Frown lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause lasting frown lines. Neurotoxins, such as XEOMIN®, are prescription medications that block the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions. So frown lines are softened.
Juvederm XC and Ultra XC: If it is plump lips or smoothing of the parenthesis lines then Juvederm XC and XC Ultra is for you lasting 6-9 months
Juvederm Voluma A liquid face lift is far more affordable and less daunting. As we age, volume and muscle tone loss often occurs in the cheeks. With Juvederm Voluma you can achieve a smoother and more youthful face. Juvederm Voluma also lasts longer than most dermal fillers- up to 2 years! In clinical trials most patients treated were perceived to look 5 years younger.
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC injectable gel is for injection into the lips for lip augmentation and for correction of perioral lines lasting up to a year
BELOTERO BALANCE® is a prescription injection that is approved to temporarily smooth out and fill in moderate-to-severe nasolabial folds (the folds or wrinkles that go from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth).
Dermal fillers can have amazing results that you can see instantly!
KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.”
Hormone Replacement
Megan is experienced and knowledgeable about prescribing bioidentical hormone replacement therapies. Most health practitioners receive very little instruction in hormone replacement during their schooling and internships. Megan sought out additional training and mentoring after her schooling to understand what questions had not been answered by her formal education. She has countless patients with stories who continued to suffer with symptoms while being treated with synthetic hormones by other providers. She is still surprised at how often providers fail to order current labs to check hormone levels and continue to prescribe synthetic hormone replacements while the patient continues to have symptoms. Megan’s successes with her patients have enabled her to help people achieve their goals while keeping your best interest at heart. She knows that no two people are the same and each person needs a specific plan that will address their needs. Megan will work with you to come up with the best plan to help you achieve your goals. If you are on a synthetic program or are interested in learning about bioidenticals, please schedule an appointment for a simple consultation and lab test to confirm if your symptoms are caused by hormone imbalance. We have plenty of experience with hormone replacement and can answer any questions/concerns you may have. As with any medical program not everyone is a candidate and results may vary.
Synthetic hormones (such as Premarin which is made from horse urine) have a different molecular configuration than the hormones in our bodies. Bioidentical hormones (which are made from plant-derived molecules such as yams and plant-life) have a similar molecular configuration so our bodies see them as the same as our own, therefore they are more easily assimilated.
Most people find the bioidenticals more cost effective than prescription synthetic hormones they purchase at the drug store. Bioidenticals are compounded based on your current labs. Usually a one month prescription is $50 and there are discounts for a three month supply. Many offices will order bioidentical hormones for you from the compounding pharmacy then charge you double the price. At DHH Med Spa you pay the pharmacy directly, we do not mark up the price of your prescription. From discussions with our patients they report saving money using bioidenticals when switching from synthetic hormones.
Medical Weight Loss
A big passion of ours is nutrition counseling. Sometimes we don’t realize the little choices we make that are sabotaging our diet. A customized plan can be made based on your needs to get the results.
Our prescription plans coupled with dietary intake can help weight loss more effectively. Each person is different and we take the time to assess and work with you to determine the best course of action to help you meet your goals.
Sometimes a short term plan of prescription medication is necessary for weight loss. We have medically supervised weight loss plans that work. When you need to drop weight and other traditional plans have failed this may be the option for you. At consultation a thorough history of your health and nutrition will be taken to see what option is best for you.
Nutrients
A mixture of vitamins and fluids given over 45 minutes is a go-to medical treatment for many people experiencing dehydration or hangover symptoms. The Myer’s cocktail has been used in a number of ailments from colds to fibromyalgia and even Parkinson’s disease.
The nutrients within a Myers’ cocktail include magnesium, calcium, methylcobalamin (B12), pyridoxine (B6), dexpanthenol (B5), B-complex, and vitamin C. Intravenous administration can increase the body’s absorption of these nutrients. These nutrients have pharmacologic effects on the cells and organ systems of the body. Boosters such as glutathione (anti-oxidant) can be added to enhance the base formula, based on patient needs.
This IV has very little side effects and is safe for most people. Prior to initiation a quick medical evaluation must be done. Overall the Myers cocktail is a safe and effective treatment for a wide variety of medical conditions, which can enhance the health of many individuals.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), like all B vitamins helps convert food into fuel. It is used for a variety of medical conditions, as well as mood and energy boosting. Cobalamin is important in maintaining healthy skin, hear, nails, and liver. Cobalamin is given as an intramuscular injection. After discussing your health history and symptoms, we can decide if cobalamin is right for you and how often you should take it. We have a variety of cobalamin injections available including methylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin, as well as fat burning lipo-den extreme.
