1. What is a medical spa?

A medical spa combines the relaxing environment of a traditional spa with the expertise and technology of a medical practice. At Aurea Medical Aesthetics, all treatments are overseen by a licensed medical provider to ensure safety, precision, and beautiful, natural results.

2. Do I need a consultation before treatment?

Yes. All new clients begin with a comprehensive consultation and skin assessment. This allows us to evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic vision.

3. Are treatments safe?

Absolutely. All of our procedures are performed by qualified medical professionals using FDA-approved products and clinically proven techniques. Safety, sterility, and client comfort are our highest priorities.

4. What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit includes a thorough consultation, medical history review, and treatment planning. If appropriate, some treatments can be performed the same day. We’ll walk you through what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.

5. Do injectable treatments hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch or mild pressure. We use ultra-fine needles and advanced techniques to ensure comfort, and topical numbing agents can be applied if desired.

6. How long do neurotoxins and fillers last?

• Neurotoxins (like Botox® or Dysport®) typically last 3–4 months.

• Dermal fillers can last 6–24 months, depending on the product and treatment area.
  Your provider will help you choose the right products for your desired results and longevity.

7. What is the downtime after treatment?

Most treatments have little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for a short period, which typically resolves within a few days. Detailed aftercare instructions are always provided to ensure optimal healing.

8. How soon will I see results?

Some results, like fillers, are visible immediately. Others, such as neurotoxins or collagen-stimulating treatments like Sculptra® or microneedling, develop gradually over several days to weeks as the body naturally regenerates collagen.

9. How often should I schedule treatments?

This depends on your treatment type and goals. Many clients visit every 3–4 months for neurotoxins, 6–12 months for fillers, and 4–6 weeks for skin treatments like microneedling or peels. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized maintenance plan to keep your results consistent and natural.

10. What makes Aurea Medical Aesthetics different?

We take a medical, artistic, and individualized approach to aesthetics. Every treatment is guided by medical expertise and an eye for balance and harmony. Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty—not change it—so you leave looking refreshed, confident, and authentically you.

11. Do you offer memberships or treatment packages?

Yes! We offer customized treatment plans and maintenance packages to help you achieve and sustain your results while saving on regular treatments. Ask our team about options during your consultation.

12. How do I prepare for my appointment?

Avoid alcohol, blood thinners, or anti-inflammatory medications 24–48 hours before most injectable treatments, unless prescribed by your physician. Come with clean skin and no makeup if possible. We’ll review all pre-treatment instructions beforehand.

13. What if I’m nervous or new to aesthetic treatments?

That’s completely normal! Our provider will walk you through every step, answer all your questions, and ensure you feel comfortable and confident before starting. Many first-time clients are surprised by how natural and effortless the experience feels..
