Comprehensive Guidance
The practice, provider, and appointment experience
What sets Polished Beauty apart?
Polished Beauty is a provider-led aesthetic practice in Winter Park focused on personalized, natural-looking results. Treatment plans are designed around the client’s features, goals, comfort level, and clinical needs rather than a one-size-fits-all formula.
Every aesthetic procedure is personally performed by Stephanie Williams, MPAS, PA-C. The goal is to help clients look refreshed and balanced, never overdone.
Who performs the aesthetic procedures?
All aesthetic procedures are personally performed by Stephanie Williams, MPAS, PA-C, a licensed Physician Associate with more than a decade of medical experience. Your aesthetic care is not delegated to a different injector after consultation.
Clinical standards are overseen by Medical Director Dr. Neil Sandhu, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon.

Do I need to know which treatment to book?
No. You may begin with your concern or goal rather than a specific treatment. Stephanie can assess the area, discuss your preferences, and explain the options that may be appropriate.
Can I receive treatment on the same day as my consultation?
Same-day treatment may be possible in some situations, but it is not guaranteed. It depends on medical clearance, the selected service, preparation requirements, available appointment time, and whether both you and the provider are comfortable proceeding.
Do you offer memberships?
Yes. Polished Beauty offers Beauty Bank and Polished Elite membership options intended to make ongoing aesthetic and skincare planning more convenient.

Understanding your options
What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators used to soften selected expression lines by temporarily reducing activity in targeted muscles. Both can be used for concerns such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet when clinically appropriate.
They differ in formulation, dosing, diffusion characteristics, onset, and individual response. Stephanie will recommend an option based on your anatomy, movement, treatment history, and goals.
Will my injectable results look natural?
Polished Beauty takes a conservative, anatomy-aware approach intended to preserve natural expression and facial character. The proposed treatment areas and degree of correction will be discussed before treatment.
Results vary, and no specific aesthetic outcome can be guaranteed.
How long do injectable results last?
Duration varies by product, treatment area, amount used, metabolism, facial movement, treatment history, and individual response.
Wrinkle relaxers commonly require periodic maintenance. Dermal-filler longevity varies significantly by product and treatment area. Stephanie will discuss the expected range and potential maintenance plan for the treatment being considered.
How many units or syringes will I need?
The amount depends on your anatomy, muscle movement, treatment area, product, starting point, and desired outcome.
A personalized recommendation and total price should be reviewed before treatment.
Does injectable treatment hurt?
Comfort varies by person, product, and treatment area. Some treatments may feel like brief pinches, pressure, or temporary discomfort. Available comfort measures and what to expect should be discussed before the procedure.
Are aesthetic treatments safe?
All medical and aesthetic procedures involve potential benefits, limitations, side effects, and risks.
Polished Beauty reviews relevant medical history, candidacy, alternatives, and treatment-specific considerations before proceeding. Products and devices should be used according to applicable clinical standards and their authorized or medically appropriate use.
What is facial balancing?
Facial balancing is a full-face assessment that considers the relationship between features such as the cheeks, chin, jawline, and lips.
Depending on the individual, a plan may use carefully selected treatments to support proportion, structure, or subtle volume. Facial balancing does not necessarily mean treating every area or completing every treatment in one visit.
What is PRF for the under-eye area?
PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin. It is prepared from a client’s own blood and may be considered in selected under-eye treatment plans involving skin quality or subtle rejuvenation.
Results develop gradually and vary. PRF is not appropriate for every cause of under-eye darkness, hollowing, or texture, so an assessment is required.
What is PRP for hair restoration?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is prepared from a client’s own blood and may be used as part of a provider-directed plan for selected forms of hair thinning.
Treatment recommendations and outcomes depend on the cause of hair loss, health history, treatment consistency, and individual response. A medical assessment may be needed before treatment.
Can different treatments be combined?
Some services may be combined or sequenced as part of a personalized plan. The appropriate combination and timing depend on the treatments, medical history, skin condition, goals, and individual response.
Clear information before you proceed
How is Botox or Dysport priced?
Wrinkle-relaxer pricing is generally based on the product and amount used. The appropriate amount depends on the treatment areas, facial movement, anatomy, treatment history, and desired degree of correction.
Review the personalized recommendation and total price before treatment begins.
How is dermal filler priced?
Dermal filler is commonly priced according to the product and amount used. The amount needed depends on the treatment area, anatomy, goals, and whether treatment will be completed at once or staged over time.
A consultation should establish the proposed treatment plan and cost before proceeding.
Why does treatment pricing vary?
Pricing may reflect:
• Provider expertise
• Product selected
• Treatment complexity
• Amount of product required
• Appointment and consultation time
• Follow-up care
• The number or sequence of planned sessions
The lowest advertised price may not represent the same product, treatment plan, or level of care.
Will I know the cost before treatment?
Yes. The recommended treatment plan and associated price should be reviewed before treatment begins, allowing time to ask questions and decide whether to proceed.
Is injectable treatment a one-time service?
Many aesthetic treatments involve maintenance, but the timing varies considerably.
Some clients choose regular appointments, while others treat less frequently or stop after one service. Stephanie can discuss a schedule based on the treatment, response, goals, and preferences.
Do you offer financing?
Financing may be available for qualifying clients through third-party providers such as Cherry and CareCredit.
Financing is subject to the provider’s approval, terms, and conditions.
Are there ways to save on ongoing treatments?
Current membership options may provide banked funds, preferred pricing, or other benefits for eligible treatments and skincare.

What to expect after your appointment
The information below is general education, not a substitute for the instructions you receive at your appointment. Always follow your personalized preparation and aftercare plan.
Is there downtime after treatment?
Downtime depends on the service and individual response.
Injectables may involve tenderness, redness, swelling, or bruising. Microneedling may involve temporary redness, sensitivity, or dryness. Chemical peels may involve visible peeling. Sculptra, PRF, and other services have their own expected recovery patterns.
Stephanie will review the likely downtime for your specific treatment before you proceed.
When will I see results?
The timeline depends on the service.
• Wrinkle-relaxer effects develop gradually after treatment
• Dermal-filler changes may be visible initially, but swelling and settling affect the early appearance
• Microneedling results develop progressively
• Chemical-peel results emerge as the skin completes its renewal process
• Sculptra changes develop gradually over time
• PRF and PRP outcomes are progressive and individualized
The expected timeline and appropriate evaluation point will be discussed as part of the treatment plan.
What should I avoid after Botox or Dysport?
Follow the personalized instructions supplied by Polished Beauty for your treatment and medical circumstances.
General recommendations can vary by provider, product, treatment area, and current clinical guidance. If you are uncertain about exercise, heat exposure, pressure on the area, medications, supplements, or another activity, call or text the office before making a change.
What should I avoid after dermal filler?
Follow the treatment-specific aftercare supplied at your appointment. Recommendations may address exercise, pressure on the area, heat, sun exposure, alcohol, skincare, dental work, travel, medications, and other considerations depending on the treatment.
Do not massage a treated area unless specifically instructed to do so.
When can I wear makeup again?
Timing depends on the treatment, condition of the skin, injection sites, and the instructions provided at the appointment.
Do not apply makeup to open, irritated, or compromised skin. Follow the individualized guidance supplied by the provider.
How can I manage expected swelling or bruising?
Swelling and bruising vary by treatment and individual response. Use only the measures recommended for your specific procedure.
Contact Polished Beauty before starting, stopping, or changing medication or supplement use in response to bruising.
When should I contact the office?
Contact Polished Beauty promptly if you have unexpected, worsening, or concerning symptoms, or if you are uncertain whether your recovery is progressing normally.
