If you’re thinking about Botox, dermal fillers, or skin treatments like Morpheus8 RF Microneedling for the first time, you’re in the right place. More people than ever are choosing to invest in their skin, to prevent or slow signs of aging, and feel more confident in their appearance. But before you book, there’s one thing that matters most: the right injector.
At Apex Aesthetics & Wellness in Palm Beach Gardens, Jason Kwiatkowski, MS, PA-C, believes your first aesthetic treatment should be personalized, empowering, and stress-free. Whether you're here for Botox, PRF, Skinvive, or collagen-boosting treatments, knowing what to ask makes all the difference.

Why It’s Smart to Ask Questions Before Your First Aesthetic Treatments
The best aesthetic outcomes aren’t about how much product is used—it’s about how well your injector understands your face, goals, and lifestyle. Asking questions up front ensures you're getting care that’s safe, natural-looking, and tailored to you.
Whether you're considering Botox for the first time or curious about PRF under-eye treatments, here’s what to ask (and why it matters).
Questions to Ask Before Your First Treatment
1. What results can I realistically expect?
Every face is different. A qualified injector will give you an honest, personalized answer, not a cookie-cutter promise. Ask for photos of their actual patients or examples of subtle, natural outcomes.
Jason’s take: You should leave your appointment looking like your best self, not like someone else.
2. How long will the results last?
Botox typically lasts 3–4 months. Fillers may last 6–18 months, depending on the area. Treatments like PRF or Skinvive work gradually, boosting skin quality over time.
Understanding the timeline helps you plan ahead and set realistic expectations.
3. What’s the difference between Botox, dermal filler, and regenerative treatments?
Each aesthetic treatment has a different job:
Botox relaxes muscle movement to smooth lines
Dermal filler restores lost volume and enhances contours
PRP/PRF, Radiesse, Sculptra and PDGF+ stimulate collagen to improve texture, firmness, and hydration over time. They may or may not add volume, depending on the product used.
Jason will guide you toward the option that aligns with your skin goals, not just what's trending.
4. How much experience do you have with the treatment I’m getting?
You want someone who doesn’t just offer injections, but has advanced training and experience in facial anatomy, safety, and technique.
Jason has 26 years in medicine, including 14 as a surgical PA and 8+ years in aesthetics. You’re in expert hands.
5. Can we start conservatively?
Yes, and you should. Less is more when it comes to first-time treatments. It’s easier to add than take away.
Subtle enhancements create balance, softness, and confidence, without overdoing it.
6. Will I still look like myself?
You should walk out looking like you, just a bit fresher, smoother, or more awake.
The goal isn’t transformation. It’s enhancement. Jason specializes in natural, balanced results.
7. What’s the aftercare like?
Some treatments come with minimal downtime, such as slight swelling, redness, or tenderness. Others (like Morpheus8 RF or SkinPen microneedling) may require post-care routines to maximize your results.
Ask what you should avoid, how to care for your skin, and when you’ll see full results.
8. How do you determine what’s best for me?
An injector should ask about your:
Aesthetic goals
Lifestyle and schedule
Budget and comfort level
Previous treatments (if any)
Jason offers thoughtful consultations where you talk it out first—no rush, no pressure.
Red Flags to Watch Out For
You feel rushed or dismissed when asking questions
The injector can’t explain why they recommend a certain product
You’re pressured into buying more than you want or need
There's no medical professional overseeing the treatments
Trust your gut. If the vibe feels off, it probably is.
