What the procedure involves
Every appointment begins with a focused consultation so the injector understands your concerns and medical history. Isabella Iakovou, NP, performs the procedure during the same visit when appropriate. The session is scheduled to fit into a 45-minute appointment window and centers on targeted, small injections placed in the areas you and the injector agree to address.
Before treatment you can ask questions about expected sensations and the plan for treated areas. The injector will explain what will be done and obtain consent; the process emphasizes clear communication rather than extensive preparation, reflecting our neighborhood clients’ preference for efficient, well-informed visits.
Choices and treatment decisions
Decisions focus on which expression lines to address and how much movement to preserve. The injector will propose a tailored plan based on your facial anatomy, goals, and prior treatments if any. This trade-off—smoothing lines while maintaining natural expression—is discussed openly so you can decide the degree of change you prefer.
Because treatment is individualized, follow-up appointments or adjustment sessions are commonly suggested. Those conversations consider your daily life and activities, and they allow fine-tuning over time without committing to a single approach on the first visit.
Local convenience and scheduling
DOLLFACE sits on the Ditmars corridor in Astoria, with easy N/W subway access appealing to commuters and after-work clients. Many residents from Long Island City, Sunnyside, Woodside and nearby neighborhoods choose short evening or weekend appointments to fit work and family schedules, making the 45-minute visit practical for busy routines.
Pair your appointment with nearby activities—a walk in Astoria Park or a meal on Ditmars—if you like. The local setting shapes appointment timing and expectations: quick check-ins, efficient paperwork, and a focus on making the visit fit into a transit-oriented lifestyle.
