Frequently Asked Questions

General

What makes DeBlandeau different from other med spas?+

DeBlandeau is a NP-owned, single-provider practice. Every consultation, every treatment, every follow-up is with Daphne — not rotated between staff. You build a real relationship with your provider, and your care is consistent.

Do you accept insurance?+

Most aesthetic and weight loss treatments are elective and not covered by standard health insurance. We accept all major credit cards and offer flexible payment options. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

Where are you located?+

We are located at 90 Chesterfield St, Hyde Park, MA 02136. Parking details will be shared when your appointment is confirmed.

Medical Weight Loss

Am I a good candidate for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?+

GLP-1 medications are typically indicated for adults with a BMI of 27 or higher, especially if weight-related conditions are present. During your consultation, Daphne will review your full health history, current medications, and goals to determine the safest, most effective plan for you.

How quickly will I see results?+

Most patients begin noticing changes within the first 4–8 weeks. Results vary based on starting weight, medication dose, and lifestyle factors. Daphne will set realistic, personalized milestones — not generic timelines.

What does the weight loss program include?+

Your program includes an initial consultation and health assessment, a personalized medication protocol, monthly progress check-ins, and ongoing support. Nutrition and lifestyle guidance is woven into every visit.

Is Semaglutide safe? What are the side effects?+

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are FDA-approved and have a strong safety record when properly supervised. The most common side effects are mild nausea, especially early in treatment. These typically subside as your body adjusts. Daphne monitors your response and adjusts dosing to minimize discomfort.

Botox & Fillers

Will Botox make me look frozen or unnatural?+

Not with proper dosing and technique. The goal is always a refreshed, natural result — not a frozen face. Daphne takes a conservative approach, especially for first-time patients. You can always add more; the art is knowing when to stop.

How long do Botox and fillers last?+

Botox typically lasts 3–4 months. Dermal fillers last anywhere from 6–18 months depending on the product used and the area treated. Daphne will walk you through expected longevity during your consultation.

Is there downtime after injectable treatments?+

Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Minor redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site is normal and resolves within 24–72 hours. Daphne will give you specific aftercare instructions for each treatment.

Appointments & Booking

What should I expect at my first visit?+

Your first visit is a consultation — not a treatment commitment. Daphne will review your health history, discuss your goals, answer your questions, and outline what she recommends. You leave with a clear plan and the choice is entirely yours.

How do I book an appointment?+

Use the Book Now button on this site, call us directly, or send a message through the Contact page. Daphne sees patients by appointment only and typically responds within 24 business hours.

What is your cancellation policy?+

We ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. This allows us to offer that time to another patient. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a fee.
