Medical Aesthetics with Our Team at Zen Med Spa Aesthetics & Regenerative Medicine

Some common medical aesthetic procedures include:

• Botox treatments: Injecting Botox products in the face reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, wrinkles, and fine lines by temporarily freezing muscle activity. Botox results in a youthful-looking appearance, although you need retreatments every three to four months
• Dermal fillers: This treatment “fills out” wrinkles and fine lines by injecting hyaluronic acid, which attracts water to the patient’s skin. A dermal filler is a gel-like substance injected into the target areas to plump up the skin, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours
• Chemical peels: This anti-aging treatment involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to eliminate compromised outer layers to pave the way for smoother, better-toned skin
• Laser therapies: The doctor uses a laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) to address various skin concerns, including pigmentation, fine lines, unwanted hair, and acne scars
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy: PRP involves using your own blood components to curb hair loss and thinning. Injecting PRP contents in the scalp is a minimally invasive alternative to hair transplant and is effective in tackling male pattern baldness by preventing hair loss and stimulating hair growth

It all depends on the treatment administered. Since medical aesthetics treatments aren’t permanent, most treatments last 3-24 months before you need a touch-up. Although the duration doesn’t seem durable, it’s actually a good thing. Let’s explain.

Your skin is constantly changing as you age. In contrast, permanent treatments don’t change in tandem with your skin changes. Permanent treatments look beautiful initially, but the results may look unnatural over time as the face evolves. We offer products that break down after some time, after which you’ll need retreatment to address skin issues.

All medical treatments have inherent risks, but the risk involved in medical aesthetics is minimal since the procedures are conservative and don’t always require anesthesia. However, to be safe, we always examine your overall health to ensure the procedures don’t pose any risk. 

Additionally, we only have the procedures administered by a qualified doctor. Our office has been clinically trained to observe all the safety protocols for a safe outcome. Plus, our office is equipped to handle medical emergencies should they arise.

Because of the non-invasive nature of medical aesthetics, expect little to no side effects. And when you experience downtime, this only lasts a few days. The common side effects of medical aesthetics include:

• Discomfort at the treatment site
• Swelling
• Mild headaches and nausea
• Bruising or skin redness
• Rashes or itching

The above symptoms are expected after a cosmetic procedure, but if you experience increased or prolonged discomfort, inform your doctor. 

Most of the treatments are recommended for persons aged between 18 and 65. However, age alone isn’t the only factor we consider to administer treatment. During an in-person consultation, we’ll conduct a comprehensive exam to determine your suitability for the procedure. 

Since treatments vary, the costs vary, too. However, our treatments are affordable because they involve a few tweakments—not an overhaul like plastic surgery. To learn the cost of your procedure, schedule an appointment with Dr. Ahmadur Rahman today.
