Question 1

Do I need a consultation before treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every journey at ELAJ begins with a private skin analysis and consultation with Dr. Momna Arooj or a senior clinician. We assess your skin, discuss goals and build a plan before anything is scheduled.

Question 2

Are your treatments safe for South-Asian and darker skin tones?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our devices and settings are specifically calibrated for Fitzpatrick type III–V skin, which is essential for safe laser, pigment and resurfacing work on South-Asian complexions.

Question 3

Who performs the procedures?

Accepted Answer

Injectables, lasers and medical procedures are performed or directly supervised by Dr. Momna Arooj and trained aesthetic clinicians — never by unsupervised staff.

Question 4

Is the equipment FDA-cleared?

Accepted Answer

Our core laser, Morpheus8, Pico, radio-frequency and HydraFacial platforms are FDA-cleared or CE-marked and maintained to international standards, with strict single-use protocols for injectables.

Question 5

Will treatments hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most facials and lasers feel like warmth or light snaps. For injectables and microneedling we apply topical numbing, and comfort is monitored throughout. We never rush a session.

Question 6

How much downtime should I expect?

Accepted Answer

Many signature facials have zero downtime. Peels, microneedling and fractional lasers may involve a few days of redness or flaking. Your clinician will map downtime before you commit.

Question 7

When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Facials and HydraFacial glow is immediate. Pigment, acne, anti-ageing and hair programmes build gradually — typically over three to six sessions — for natural, lasting change.

Question 8

How long do fillers and Botox last?

Accepted Answer

Botox typically lasts three to four months and hyaluronic acid fillers six to eighteen months depending on the product and area. We plan maintenance around your calendar.

Question 9

Do you offer packages or courses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Laser hair removal, pigmentation, acne and hair programmes are offered as curated courses that are more effective and better value than single sessions.

Question 10

Can I have treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Some treatments are paused during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Please tell us in advance — we will recommend only what is safe for you at this stage.

Question 11

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Arrive with clean skin where possible, avoid sun exposure and retinoids before certain lasers, and share your current products and medications during consultation.

Question 12

What aftercare is involved?

Accepted Answer

You will leave with a written aftercare plan and, where relevant, medical-grade products. Sun protection is non-negotiable for pigment, laser and peel results.

Question 13

Do you treat acne, melasma and pigmentation medically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. These are core specialities. We combine prescription topicals, in-clinic procedures and lifestyle guidance rather than one-size-fits-all quick fixes.

Question 14

Is there parking and privacy at the clinic?

Accepted Answer

The clinic sits on Link Road beside the Shell petrol pump in Wapda Town with convenient parking and private, discreet treatment suites.

Question 15

Do you see male patients?

Accepted Answer

Of course. We care for all patients and offer treatments tailored to men, including laser, hair restoration, acne and anti-ageing programmes.

Question 16

How do I book and can I reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Book through the form on this site, WhatsApp or by phone. Rescheduling is easy with reasonable notice so we can offer your slot to another patient.

Question 17

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept cash, bank transfer and major cards. Course pricing and any financing details are confirmed transparently during consultation.

Question 18

Are results guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No ethical clinic can guarantee outcomes, and we won't. What we promise is honest assessment, realistic expectations and protocols backed by evidence.

Question 19

How do you protect my privacy?

Accepted Answer

Your records, images and identity are kept strictly confidential. Before-and-after photos are only ever shared with your explicit written consent.

Question 20

What makes ELAJ different from a salon?

Accepted Answer
