512 Aesthetics operates by appointment.

Because provider schedules and treatment availability may vary, we recommend checking our online booking calendar for the most current available appointment times.

Yes. Appointments are recommended to ensure your provider and treatment time are reserved.

You can view current availability and book through our online scheduling system.

That's completely okay.

Many clients know what they want to improve but don't know which treatment is appropriate.

You can schedule a consultation or contact us and tell us what you're concerned about.

We can help guide you toward the appropriate starting point.

You don't need to diagnose your own skin or choose a treatment simply because it's trending online.

Your experience depends on the service you're receiving, but our approach begins with listening.

We'll discuss your concerns, goals, relevant treatment history, and other information necessary for your service.

For medical and advanced aesthetic treatments, additional medical screening or consent may be required.

We want you to understand:

• What treatment you're receiving
• Why it may be appropriate
• What results you may realistically expect
• Potential risks or side effects
• Downtime
• Aftercare
• Recommended follow-up
• 
  

Questions are encouraged.

Absolutely.

512 Aesthetics welcomes men and women, as well as LGBTQ+ clients and people from all backgrounds.

We also have an extensive Men's Aesthetics and Male Grooming menu with treatments specifically relevant to men's skincare, waxing, grooming, and aesthetic goals.

Absolutely.

You do not need previous experience with med spas, estheticians, waxing, injectables, or professional skincare.

We regularly work with first-time clients and will explain what happens before beginning your treatment.

512 Aesthetics currently offers Xeomin and Dysport as our primary wrinkle-relaxing injectable options.

These treatments may be used to temporarily soften appropriate expression lines based on your facial anatomy and treatment goals.

Our wrinkle-relaxing treatments currently focus on Xeomin and Dysport rather than Botox.

If you've previously received Botox or are comparing Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport, our medical provider can explain the differences and help determine which available treatment may be appropriate for you.

Xeomin and Dysport are both prescription wrinkle-relaxing injectable products, but they are different formulations and use different dosing measurements.

The number of units is not directly interchangeable.

Your provider will evaluate your facial anatomy, muscle activity, previous treatment history, and goals before recommending treatment.

They don't have to.

At 512 Aesthetics, our goal is generally to create a refreshed rather than overdone appearance.

Your dosing is personalized according to your facial movement, anatomy, and how much natural expression you want to maintain.

Duration varies from person to person.

Factors including product, treatment area, muscle strength, dose, metabolism, and individual response can affect how long results remain noticeable.

Your provider can discuss an appropriate maintenance schedule based on how you respond.

Yes.

Dermal filler may be used for appropriate clients who want to improve lip volume, shape, definition, symmetry, or overall facial balance.

Your medical provider will discuss the result you're looking for and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.

A Lip Flip uses a wrinkle-relaxing injectable around the lip area to temporarily alter how the upper lip moves and appears.

Lip filler adds volume using dermal filler.

They are different treatments and produce different results.

Your provider can help determine which option better matches your goals.

Absolutely.

We provide personalized men's injectables in Austin, sometimes casually referred to as “Brotox,” for men interested in softening expression lines while maintaining natural-looking results.

If you've never received professional skincare before, our New Client Deep Cleanse Facial or an In-Person Skin Consultation can be a great starting point.

We'll evaluate your skin and help determine what treatments and home care may be appropriate.

Yes.

We don't believe every client needs the exact same facial.

Your treatment may be adjusted to address concerns such as:

• Acne
• Congestion
• Dryness
• Dehydration
• Sensitivity
• Dullness
• Texture
• Hyperpigmentation
• Shaving irritation
• Visible signs of agingYes.
• 
  

We don't believe every client needs the exact same facial.

Our HydroDiamond Facial combines diamond-tip resurfacing, hydro-suction, cleansing, and serum infusion to help remove surface buildup, cleanse pores, exfoliate, and support smoother, hydrated-looking skin.

Yes.

Our Gentlemen's Facial and other customized facial treatments can address common male skincare concerns including oily skin, blackheads, acne, dryness, shaving irritation, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs.

Professional skincare may be one part of an acne-management plan.

Depending on your skin, we may recommend customized facials, deep cleansing, appropriate extractions, changes to home care, chemical peels when appropriate, or other professional treatments.

We don't promise that one facial will permanently clear acne.

Yes, depending on the type and cause.

A treatment plan may include professional facials, home care, sun protection, chemical peels, or other appropriate services.

We'll evaluate the condition of your skin barrier before recommending more aggressive treatment.

Yes.

Women are welcome for our traditional/basic waxing services, such as brow and other available maintenance waxing.

512 Aesthetics specializes heavily in men's full-body waxing and male grooming, including intimate and large-area body waxing.

Depending on our current menu, men's waxing may include:

• Manzilian / Male Brazilian
• Intimate waxing
• Chest
• Abdomen
• Back
• Shoulders
• Buttocks
• Arms
• Underarms
• Legs
• Brows
• Other available body areas

Men can book individual areas or combine multiple services.

A Manzilian is professional intimate waxing for men.

You may also hear it called a Male Brazilian, Men's Brazilian, Brozilian, or male intimate wax.

Before beginning, we'll discuss what you want removed and your grooming preferences.

You will likely feel brief discomfort because hair is removed from the root.

The amount of discomfort varies according to the area, hair, previous waxing experience, and individual sensitivity.

Many first-time clients find that the anticipation was worse than the actual service.

Do not shave immediately before waxing.

The hair needs enough length for the wax to grip effectively.

If you're unsure whether your hair is too long, contact us before trimming—it is often easier for us to work with slightly longer hair than hair that has been trimmed too short.

After your skin has recovered, appropriate exfoliation, hydration, and reducing excessive friction may help minimize ingrown hairs.

Do not aggressively scrub freshly waxed skin.

Your esthetician can recommend appropriate aftercare based on your skin.

Yes.

Professional brow waxing in Austin is available for men and women.

Your service is customized to your natural brows and the look you're trying to achieve.

A Lash Lift temporarily lifts and curls your natural eyelashes upward, helping them appear more visible and defined without adding lash extensions.

A Lash Tint darkens the appearance of your natural lashes.

It can be especially helpful for clients with lighter-colored lashes or lashes that are difficult to see toward the tips.

A Lash Lift works with the natural lashes you already have.

Lash extensions involve attaching additional fibers to natural lashes.

512 Aesthetics focuses on enhancing natural lashes through professional lifting and tinting.

Brow Lamination temporarily redirects brow hairs into a more controlled and styled position.

It can help brows appear fuller, more uniform, polished, or easier to style.

It does not create new brow hair.

Yes.

We offer professional Brow Tint, Brow Waxing, and Brow Lamination services.

These may be booked individually or combined when appropriate.

Absolutely.

Men's brow grooming can be very conservative.

We can clean between the brows, remove stray growth, trim excessive length when appropriate, and maintain a natural-looking shape.

Yes.

Our NP-led Medical Weight Management program in Austin provides individualized medical evaluation and treatment planning.

When medically appropriate, options may include treatments involving semaglutide, tirzepatide, or other appropriate strategies.

Eligibility and treatment recommendations are determined by our medical provider.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are different prescription medications.

Semaglutide acts primarily through the GLP-1 receptor pathway, while tirzepatide acts through both GIP and GLP-1 receptor pathways.

Neither medication is automatically right for everyone.

Your medical history, goals, eligibility, risks, and individual response must be considered.

No specific result can be guaranteed.

Individual results vary according to medication, starting point, response, nutrition, activity, consistency, medical history, lifestyle, and other factors.

Medical weight management should focus on sustainable progress rather than guaranteeing a particular number on the scale.

Do not change your prescribed medication dose or schedule without guidance from your medical provider.

Faster dosing isn't automatically better and may increase the likelihood of side effects.

Yes, consultation for Peptide Therapy and Wellness may be available when clinically appropriate.

The term “peptide therapy” can refer to many different substances with different uses, risks, evidence, and regulatory status.

Your medical provider will determine whether a specific therapy is appropriate for you.

Payment is due according to the terms associated with your appointment or treatment.

Current accepted payment methods are shown through our booking and payment system.

Financing options may be available for eligible clients through our third-party financing partner.

Approval, payment amounts, and financing terms are determined by the financing provider.

Yes.

Treatment packages or bundles may periodically be available for services such as microneedling, facials, waxing, and other appropriate treatments.

Check our booking menu for current packages and promotions.

Yes.

Gift certificates may be available for clients who want to give someone the experience of professional aesthetic or skincare services.

Certain restrictions may apply to medical treatments, promotions, or gift certificate redemption.

Preparation varies depending on the service.

When you book, review any pre-treatment instructions provided for your specific appointment.

If you're unsure about medications, skincare products, shaving, waxing, sun exposure, exercise, or another activity before treatment, contact us before making changes.

Yes.

Aftercare is an important part of many aesthetic treatments.

Your provider will explain appropriate post-treatment care for your service.

Follow these instructions carefully and contact us if you have questions during your recovery.

Contact 512 Aesthetics promptly if you're experiencing an unexpected reaction or have concerns following a treatment so your provider can advise you on appropriate next steps.

For symptoms that appear severe, rapidly worsening, or potentially life-threatening, seek emergency medical attention rather than waiting for a response through text, email, or social media.
