FAQ
GOOD QUESTIONS.
The short answers are here. Dr. B gives the long ones in person.
01
Getting Started
-
With your labs. Your first visit is a 15-minute draw and a consult with Dr. B on your APPROACH history, your goals and your body composition. Your plan is built from what comes back
-
Anyone who knows something is off, even when their labs say normal. That includes women in perimenopause and menopause, men who want to stay sharp for the long game, and anyone who wants to look the way they feel.
-
Dr. Tatiana Batista builds and leads every plan. She trained in osteopathic and family medicine and has been practicing aesthetics since 2008.
-
Welcome back. Book through the same link as everyone else and choose returning patient visit. Bring your questions. She will want to hear what has changed.
02
Labs& Hormones
-
Normal is a range, and a wide one. Dr. B looks at where you sit inside it, alongside how you actually feel. Optimal, not just normal.
-
Not necessarily. Not every patient needs hormone therapy, and your labs decide. Either way, the protocol still holds: peptides, nutrients, skin and body, in one plan.
-
Medicine before the menu. Your medications and history come first, before any hormone or peptide is on the table, and your labs are rechecked as part of your plan.
03
AESTHETICS
-
Yes. Plenty of patients start with their skin. Dr. B will still ask about the rest, because how you feel shows up in how you look.
-
Skin and body treatments, including neuromodulators and microneedling, prescribed inside your plan rather than picked off a long list. We keep the menu short on purpose.
-
Not if Dr. B can help it. She has been at this since 2008, and the experience shows most in what she leaves alone. The goal is you, rested and well.
