Questions

Before you book, the questions most people ask

Answers to the questions patients ask most before a first visit with Tanya Pinhasov, BSN, RN: the Good Faith Exam, what a consultation covers, how to prepare, and what recovery looks like.

Recovery

What should I avoid after injections?

For the rest of the day, avoid rubbing or pressing the area, lying flat, strenuous exercise, heat and alcohol. For filler, plan on swelling for several days. Written aftercare comes home with you, and you can call with any question.

Will I bruise?

Some bruising and swelling after injections is common and settles within days. Tell Tanya about blood thinners, fish oil, aspirin or alcohol in the days before, since each raises the chance of a bruise.

How far ahead of an event should I book?

For neuromodulators, at least two weeks, so the result has settled. For filler, three to four weeks, so swelling has resolved and a follow-up adjustment is possible. Earlier is better for a first treatment.

Your first visit

What should I bring to a consultation?

A list of medications and supplements, any diagnoses that matter (autoimmune conditions, bleeding disorders, a history of cold sores), the dates of recent dental work or procedures, and a photo of yourself from a few years ago if you have one.

How long does a first visit take?

Allow about an hour. The consultation and the Good Faith Exam come first; treatment follows at the same visit when you are cleared and time allows, or at the next appointment.

Why do I need a Good Faith Exam before treatment?

Arizona's Board of Nursing expects a licensed practitioner to examine every new patient before a registered nurse gives a neuromodulator or filler. It is the point at which your treatment order is written, and it catches the medical details that change a plan. How the exam works

Can I be treated the same day as my consultation?

Often, yes. Once the prescriber has cleared you at the Good Faith Exam and the schedule allows, treatment can follow at the same visit. If not, it happens at the next appointment. Nobody is injected without the exam.

Who oversees Tanya's work?

A licensed Arizona practitioner at Uptown Medispa acts as the delegating prescriber and medical director. Every treatment follows that practitioner's order, and the Board of Nursing expects the medical director to be available to staff throughout business hours.

Safety

What happens if something goes wrong?

You will know the warning signs before you leave, and you will have Tanya's direct number. For filler, hyaluronidase is in the room at every appointment and the reversal protocol is rehearsed. The delegating prescriber is reachable during clinic hours. How complications are prevented and managed

Why does an operating-room background matter for injectables?

Three habits carry over. Reading anatomy in three dimensions, which is how filler is planned against bone and arteries. Sterile technique without shortcuts. And a rehearsed response to the rare complication, rather than a search for the protocol when it is needed.

Cost

How much does treatment cost?

Neuromodulators are priced per unit and fillers per syringe; microneedling, biostimulators and IV therapy are priced per session or vial. The total depends on your plan, which is set at your consultation. There is no charge to ask.

Do you offer packages or memberships?

Series pricing applies to treatments that are planned as a series, such as microneedling and biostimulators. Ask at your consultation about what fits your plan.

Who it is for

I have never had anything done. Where do I start?

With a consultation and no commitment. Tanya will tell you what is realistic, what she would not do, and what each option costs. If the answer is to wait, that is what you will hear.

Do you treat men?

Yes. Men's anatomy, muscle mass and goals differ, so doses and placement differ. The approach is the same, with conservative changes that keep you looking like yourself.
