FAQ'S
General Wellness & Services
What types of services do you offer at VIDA?
We specialize in customized wellness solutions, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), IV nutrient therapy, peptide protocols, medical weight loss, diagnostic lab testing, and advanced skin treatments. We take a whole-body approach to optimize how you feel and look from the inside out.
Do I need to be sick to benefit from your services?
 Not at all! Most of our patients come to us to feel better, not because they’re unwell. Whether you’re battling fatigue, brain fog, low libido, or just want to maintain your edge, we tailor proactive wellness plans to support your goals.
IV Therapy
How often should I get IV therapy?
Frequency depends on your goals and lifestyle. Many clients do weekly IVs during times of high stress or travel, while others do monthly infusions for maintenance and prevention. We’ll help you build a schedule that supports your energy, immunity, and hydration.
How long does an IV drip take?
Most infusions take between 30–60 minutes. You’ll be relaxing in a comfortable space during the process.
Can I receive IV therapy if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
Some nutrient formulas may be appropriate, but always consult with your OB or midwife. We prioritize safety and transparency, and can customize your IVs accordingly.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
How do I know if I need hormone therapy?
If you’re experiencing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, low libido, or poor sleep, it may be time to evaluate your hormone levels. We use advanced lab panels to get the full picture and design a protocol tailored to your body.
Do you treat both men and women?
Yes! We offer bioidentical hormone therapy for both men and women, including testosterone optimization, estrogen/progesterone balance, thyroid support, and adrenal health.
How long does it take to feel results?
Some clients feel improvements in energy and focus within a few weeks, but full hormone balancing can take 2–3 months. Your plan includes close monitoring and ongoing support.
Peptides & Weight Loss
What are peptides and how do they work?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that signal specific responses in the body—like boosting collagen, improving recovery, increasing metabolism, or regulating hormones. We offer therapeutic peptides based on your wellness goals.
Are your peptide and weight loss programs supervised?
Yes! All protocols are medically supervised, with labs and consults included. We don’t do cookie-cutter weight loss—we build evidence-based programs that work with your body, not against it.
Appointments, Labs & Virtual Services
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes! Many of our wellness consultations, lab reviews, and hormone check-ins can be done virtually for your convenience. You’ll still receive high-touch care, just from the comfort of your home.
Can I use my labs from another provider?
Absolutely. Bring any recent lab work you have—we’ll review them during your consult and determine if additional testing is needed to get the full picture.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit includes a detailed consult, review of symptoms, labs, and medical history. We’ll talk through your goals, educate you on your options, and start building a wellness strategy that fits your lifestyle.
CoolPeel
What is CoolPeel?
CoolPeel is a CO2 laser treatment that targets the superficial layer of skin to improve texture, reduce fine lines, and minimize pore size — all with minimal downtime.
Is CoolPeel painful?
Most clients describe it as a warm, prickly sensation. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to enhance comfort.
How long is the downtime?
Expect 1–3 days of redness, similar to a mild sunburn. Makeup can usually be worn after 24–48 hours.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients see visible results after one session, but a series of 2–3 treatments may be recommended for optimal skin resurfacing.
Virtue RF Microneedling
What is Virtue RF?
Virtue RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency to tighten skin, improve tone and texture, and stimulate collagen production.
What makes it different from traditional microneedling?
The added RF energy penetrates deeper layers of skin for enhanced tightening and contouring results with little to no downtime.
Is there any downtime?
You may experience slight redness and warmth for 24–48 hours, but most people return to normal activities quickly.
When will I see results?
Results build gradually over 4–6 weeks and continue to improve with each session.
HydraFacial
What does a HydraFacial do?
HydraFacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin using vortex-fusion technology and medical-grade serums.
Is there any downtime?
None! Your skin will look fresh, dewy, and glowing immediately after your treatment.
How often should I get one?
Monthly treatments are ideal for maintaining healthy, radiant skin.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. HydraFacial is safe for most skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
The Perfect Dermaâ„¢ Peel
What is the Perfect Peel?
The Perfect Dermaâ„¢ Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that improves skin clarity, texture, and tone while reducing sun damage and acne scars.
What can I expect post-treatment?
You may experience peeling around day 3–6. The full peel process typically lasts 7 days.
Will it hurt?
You may feel mild tingling or stinging during application, but the discomfort is minimal and temporary.

Dermaplaning
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz for smoother, brighter skin.
Will my hair grow back thicker?
No. Dermaplaning does not affect the structure of hair follicles. Hair will grow back at the same texture and rate.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes, but those with active acne or sensitive skin should consult with their provider first.
Is there any downtime?
None. You can resume regular activities and apply makeup immediately after.
Traditional Microneedling
What is microneedling used for?
Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin to improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, fine lines, and large pores.
What does it feel like?
Most clients report minimal discomfort. We use a topical anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
How long is recovery?
You might experience redness and mild swelling for 24–72 hours. Results will gradually develop over several weeks.
