Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles produced by the cells, specifically stem cells. They are responsible for many necessary functions for regenerative processes in the body. These include:
Transfer of growth factors, cytokines, and other materials for cell regeneration and tissue repair Exosomes transmit signals between cells for regenerating the body, like producing more collagen, improving skin tone, promoting hair restoration, and other functions that keep the body healthy and vibrant.
However, the function of exosomes starts to decline as we age, resulting in wrinkles, dull skin, skin laxity, and other cosmetic concerns. Like stem cell therapy, exosome treatment may be used for different targeted therapies where significant tissue repair is needed. The exosome products available for skin rejuvenation are:

If you’re looking for an all-in-one treatment to help you achieve flawless skin, then Sylfirm X RF microneedling treatment and exosome technology might be the best option for you. With dual wave radiofrequency and microneedling technology, this treatment eliminates your skin abnormalities while maintaining your healthy skin tissues.
When it comes to advanced medical treatments in cosmetic dermatology, only trust our team here at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics for your skin concerns. Take a step to a more confidently flawless you by reaching out to Dr. V. Book a consultation now.
Sylfrim X is the world’s first-ever FDA-registered Pulsed Wave (PW) and Continuous Wave (CW) Radio Frequency Microneedling device. The following device features ensure the maximum effectiveness of Sylfirm X RF microneedling treatments:
Pulsed Wave (PW) and Continuous Wave (CW) ensures more stable and deeper penetration of the radiofrequency energy on every dermal layer for revitalized skin and accelerated collagen production. Unlike most treatments, it selectively targets the root cause of your skin imperfection without any effect on the surrounding normal tissues around it. Shown in the table are the differences between PW and CW modes.
| Pulsed Wave | Continuous Wave |
| This method selectively coagulates the basement membrane located within the epidermal junction and upper dermis. | One penetration provides wide, continuous coagulation from the deep dermis to the upper dermis. |
| Aids recovery of hyperactive melanogenesis (pigmentations) and hyper angiogenesis (for better blood circulation) | Effective skin revitalization which results in a firmer, rejuvenated appearance. |
Sylfirm X is the single device you need to resolve your unwanted skin conditions. Treatment using this device can simultaneously target and resolve the following skin condition issues through PW and CW mode:
Sylfirm X treatment is made effective by the 8 different PW or CW modes, as well as the 25+ clinical trials that it went through. You can achieve the best results within 3 to 6 treatments with a 4 to 6 weeks interval. Each session usually takes approximately 20 to 45 minutes.
Unlike laser treatment, Sylfirm X may be used for all types of skin tone because the absorption coefficient by chromophores doesn’t have any effect on the effectiveness of the device for the treatment of multiple skin condition issues.
Sylfirm X treatment offers a safe and effective way to treat your skin impurities in a painless way without downtime. Most patients only complain about mild discomfort, which varies depending on the depth and treatment site.
There are many treatment solutions available for each and every skin problem. However, aging and overexposure to ultraviolet rays may result in more than a single skin condition that requires treatment.
Sylfirm X microneedling’s repeated ultra short pulse technology does more than stimulate collagen production to address skin laxity and provide skin tightening results. So if you’re looking for an all-in-one solution to multiple skin issues, Sylfirm X RF microneedling treatment with Exosome Regenerative Complex (ERC) and Exosome Regenerative Complex + (ERC+) provides you with a fast and reliable treatment option.
Talk to Dr. V to learn more about how this advanced RF microneedling treatment can help resolve all your skin problems. Call us now to book an appointment.
Dr. V Medical Aesthetics offer other skin rejuvenation solutions for every skin concern. We cater to every skin type and skin tone to address skin problems such as the following:
Rediscover your beauty with the following effective non-surgical cosmetic treatments at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics:
From skin laxity to pigmentation (e.g,, melasma), Sylfirm X is an all-in-one revitalizing solution to almost all types of skin problems. With the incorporated technological elements to make this effective skin enhancement device possible, all your desired skin rejuvenation results are made possible. Results vary depending on how your body reacts to Sylfirm X RF microneedling treatment, but the stimulated collagen production takes place approximately over 3 months.
This device feature results in accelerated regeneration of facial skin tissue that strengthens the basement membrane. The basement membrane tends to be damaged by aging and overexposure to ultraviolet rays, but with Sylfirm X, a structure that promotes cell growth is provided through the extracellular matrix (ECM).
ECM sorts and supplies the biochemical factors that are significant to cell growth, which is composed of collagen, elastin, structural proteins, glycosaminoglycan, and growth factors placed in the basement membrane. The 300 Micron Depth stimulates the ECM function in the basement membrane, which connects the epidermis to dermis, to prevent melanin migration.
Named after its proponent, the “Na” effect is the favorable reactions of your skin tissues to uninsulated micro electrodes of bipolar RF micro-needling, which is further enhanced by the precision and accuracy of the robotic production system feature of Sylfirm X. This selective coagulation is the effective way that this device treats skin issues without damaging healthy skin cells.
In addition to its features that enable better control of an outcome of a treatment session, it also includes exosomes that may be applied post-treatment. The proponents ensured that Sylfirm X is not your ordinary RF device by including ERC and ERC+ post-treatment solution, which provide the following benefits:
Sylfirm X treatment provides optimal and accelerated skin rejuvenation solutions from skin laxity to skin texture problems, through its advanced features and post-treatment inclusions that will provide you with a value-for-money treatment option.

Sometimes, it’s hard to achieve your target weight through just dieting and regular exercise. But with our health and weight management experts at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, you can receive much-needed weight loss advice and get treatments that can effectively remove your excess pounds to help you reach your personal fitness goals.
At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, our weight loss doctor will provide personalized programs that are designed to help you slim down. We also offer safe and effective Semaglutide treatments, a weight loss injection that can help manage your cravings and achieve your wellness goals.
If you’ve been looking for a medical supplement to support you in your weight loss experience, contact us today to discover how our Semaglutide treatments can help. We advise that you come in for a consultation with our team so we can assess your current weight and discuss the steps to meet your desired outcome.
It’s normal to have some amount of body fat but once you become overweight or obese, you’re more prone to several health problems. It also contributes to a decrease in your overall energy levels which can make you feel more tired or constantly fatigued. That’s why if you want to continue living your best and most active life, there are plenty of weight loss methods that you can look into.
Let Dr. V and our staff help you discover the true beauty hiding within. Book your consultation with us today to learn more about your ideal cosmetic treatment.
The most common medical approach to weight loss is through surgical treatment, but this comes with its own potential risks and complications. At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we provide weight management plans that can save you from the hassle and side effects of traditional surgical options.
To make your weight loss treatment more effective, we also offer Semaglutide injections. This prescription weight loss medication is a compound version of semaglutide that is used for patients with type 2 diabetes but it can also help manage your body fat and weight, especially if you’re clinically obese or overweight. Our team at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics can administer weekly Semaglutide shots along with our Skinny Dip IV treatment which contains vitamins and lipotropics to help you achieve successful weight loss.
Semaglutide belongs to the class of peptide medications known as Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP) agonists. It’s commonly used for the management of diabetes as the GLP-1 hormone helps regulate blood glucose levels. While it’s not a type of insulin, it can stimulate your pancreas to release insulin to control and store your blood sugar in the cells so they can later be used for energy.
Additionally, GLP-1 has a significant effect on the movement of food through your stomach. It can slow down gastric emptying which may help you feel full for a longer amount of time while also regulating the areas of the brain that are responsible for your appetite and food intake. By controlling your hunger, you’ll have fewer urges to satisfy your cravings to reduce your excess weight.
Our team at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics will start you on the lowest dose of Semaglutide medication and we’ll increase your injections as you progress through your treatment. Most patients receive 0.25 mg injected into their belly fat at the first session and you can expect to receive up to a total weekly dose of 1.5 mg and 2.5 mg for your remaining treatments.
Depending on your target body weight, your Semaglutide weight loss management program may take anywhere from 12 to 20 weeks. You can receive as many sessions as needed until you achieve your desired weight loss.
Our physicians at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics will suggest an individualized program that meets your weight loss goals. As with most treatments at our clinic, we’ll invite you for an initial consultation with our expert weight loss doctor to examine your current condition. We may also ask about your medical records to check if you have any pre-existing illnesses that are affecting your ability to lose body weight.
Let Dr. V and our staff help you discover the true beauty hiding within. Book your consultation with us today to learn more about your ideal cosmetic treatment.
After a thorough assessment, we’ll customize a weight loss plan that will help you achieve your desired outcome. Semaglutide injections provide the best results when used together with a balanced diet and increased physical activity. This is why your weight management program can include recommendations for establishing healthy eating behaviors and incorporating exercise into your daily routine.
You may also meet with a registered dietitian who can review your existing diet. Be ready to make some changes to your eating habits as you’d also need to follow a proper nutritional plan and meal replacements to help keep track of your healthy weight.
Each Semaglutide session at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics can also include regular check-ups, injections, lab work, and administration of our IV therapy for nonsurgical weight loss. We offer Skinny Dip cocktails that contain B-12, Vitamin D, and lipotropics which can promote the breakdown of body fat and increase metabolism to provide significant weight loss results.
Patients with a body mass index above 25 should consider starting a weight management program. It’s also recommended for individuals who are having a hard time losing weight on their own. Additionally, ideal patients for Semaglutide weight loss treatments are those who don’t have the following conditions:
Let Dr. V and our staff help you discover the true beauty hiding within. Book your consultation with us today to learn more about your ideal cosmetic treatment.
A: Some of the common side effects of Semaglutide for weight loss are vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain. These side effects can be managed by controlling the amount of dose that you receive during your sessions.
A: Yes, once you’ve signed up for our weight loss management program, our board-certified physician can ship the medication and other needed supplies for self-administration to your home. Our team will still check in with you weekly to monitor your progress and current weight.
A: When you’re taking Semaglutide, it’s best to limit your alcohol consumption since it may have an effect on your blood sugar. We also advise taking caution if you’re taking other oral medications along with Semaglutide. Before your treatment, you should discuss with our doctor if you have medications that may interfere with the injections.
Make the move toward a healthier you when you trust Dr. V Medical Aesthetics for your weight management program.

Skincare products may have some anti-aging benefits, but they can’t match the facial rejuvenation effects of dermal filler injections. At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we offer a wide range of injectable filler options that can eliminate the signs of damaged and aged skin and enhance your natural beauty. One of our most popular dermal filler treatments is the Sculptra injection.
With Sculptra, you can achieve more than just wrinkle reduction; you can also enhance contours and improve your skin health, fighting off all signs of skin thinning and aging. This dermal filler has a unique formulation containing a biocompatible synthetic material that restores facial volume and replenishes lost collagen. It’s also a versatile cosmetic injection and can be injected anywhere on the face.
If you’re interested in getting Sculptra Aesthetic treatment, book a consultation with our team at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics. Book your initial appointment today to learn more about Sculptra.
Sculptra belongs to a class of injectables that’s made from poly-L-lactic acid or PLLA, a biosynthetic and absorbable material that helps provide structure and adds volume to the face. This dermal filler was initially approved by the FDA in 2004 for the correction of facial lipoatrophy or thinning of the fat pads on the face in people with HIV. In 2009, the injectable was cleared for the treatment of deep nasolabial folds, smile lines, and facial wrinkles.
This injectable treatment is one-of-its-kind as it is the only filler that’s technically recognized as a collagen biostimulator. Sculptra is a longer-lasting treatment option because it encourages collagen production deep within the dermis to help improve facial fullness and enhance your overall skin quality.
Like most fillers, Sculptra can instantly plump hollow areas with facial fat loss and eliminate deep wrinkles and folds when it is injected beneath the skin. Over time, the filler material will naturally dissolve, but it doesn’t mean that its effects will also fade.
Even when the Sculptra filler is fully absorbed by the body, the PLLA microparticles will continue to regrow new collagen and regenerate healthy skin cells where it was placed. With increased collagen production, you will notice your skin looking softer, smoother, and more radiant than before.
The secret to a successful facial rejuvenation with Sculptra is working with an expert provider who can apply the right amount of filler to your problem areas. Our highly-skilled injectors can help assess your skin concerns and administer the dermal filler injections with care to ensure that you get the best possible results.
Sculptra fillers can be used on different areas of the face that are showing signs of aging and collagen depletion. Our team at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics can recommend Sculptra to treat common skin concerns such as:

With several dermal filler options to choose from, it’s important to know the differences between each type of injectable. To help you better understand what makes Sculptra unique, here’s how it’s unique from the other dermal fillers we offer at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics:
| Sculptra | Restylane and Versa | Radiesse | |
| Type of filler | PLLA filler | Hyaluronic acid fillers | Calcium hydroxylapatite filler |
| How it works | Has a liquid consistency that can fill deep facial wrinkles and works great as a volumizer and stimulator for new collagen production | It has a smooth gel consistency that minimizes wrinkles and helps skin maintain moisture when injected | It has a thicker consistency that helps improve shape, structure, and volume in the face |
| Approved uses | Moderate to severe wrinkles, nasolabial folds, smile lines, and age-related volume loss | Treatment of wrinkles and fine lines, lip augmentation, and tear trough correction | Moderate to severe wrinkles and nasolabial folds, volume correction, and hand rejuvenation |
| Results | Since it’s a collagen stimulator, you can see the full results of Sculptra within 4 to 6 weeks after treatment and it can last for up to 2 years | Results can be seen about 2 to 4 weeks after procedure and can last anywhere from 10 to 18 months | You can see results within a week from the procedure and its effects can last for up to 12 months |

Melasma is a common skin problem that affects millions of people in the United States. While most cases of melasma are short-term and fade away on their own, some people may have melasma spots that can stay for several years – or even the rest of their lives. This can be an area of insecurity, especially if it develops in prominent areas on your face or body.
At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we provide various cosmetic treatments to effectively minimize the appearance of melasma spots and develop a flawless, even skin tone. Rather than resorting to invasive plastic surgery procedures like skin grafting, we can remove the damaged skin and promote newer and healthier skin growth with a solution that works best for your condition.
Our state-of-the-art equipment, coupled with our team of skilled professionals and caring staff, can use the latest techniques to treat your melasma spots and minimize its effects. We offer safe, minimally-invasive, and exceptional services to enhance your natural appearance.
Melasma is a skin condition that causes hyperpigmentation, leaving brown or gray patches to appear on your skin. These dark spots commonly develop on your face, especially around your nose bridge, forehead, cheeks, or upper lip. However, in some cases, skin discoloration can also appear in different body parts like your forearms, neck, and shoulder. These are caused by your melanocytes, which are responsible for your skin’s pigmentation.
For some people, melasma treatment isn’t necessary since it can fade away on its own. Factors like pregnancies or medications that can affect hormone production (e.g. birth control pills) can trigger developing melasma, but your brown spots can fade after giving birth or after you stop taking medication. Using skincare products that irritate your skin can also cause adverse reactions like melasma.
Others, however, can experience melasma spots that stick around for years or are permanently fixed into your skin. These can be caused by sun exposure, genetics, conditions that affect your skin’s melanocyte production, or taking hormone-affecting medications that you can’t stop taking for medical issues.
Dermatologists may recommend topical medications to treat melasma. A combination of hydroquinone, corticosteroids, tretinoin, kojic acid, and other topical creams may be used. But for some, these skincare products may be ineffective because of how melasma affects the skin cells in the area. If this is the case, your best solution is to have aesthetic treatments to minimize the appearance of melasma.
Melasma can be spotted by the visible discolored patches of skin around your face and body. Because of factors like pregnancies hormone changes, women are more likely to experience melasma than men. People with darker skin types are also more likely to develop melasma, since they have more melanocytes (the cells responsible for skin color) than those with lighter skin.
While this is the only symptom, it can affect how you look, which can be a point of concern for people who want to look their best. If you notice hyperpigmentation spots that appear to be melasma, schedule an appointment with Dr. V Medical Aesthetics for a consultation. Our medical professionals can diagnose your condition and provide you with different melasma treatment options, depending on your condition and how long you’ve had melasma.
Some melasma patients may benefit from topical medications. But if these are ineffective or you’ve had melasma for several years, aesthetic treatments may be your best solution. At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we offer several possible procedures that can treat your skin condition and recommend the best treatment option depending on your skin type, health, and other medical conditions.
Dermabrasion works by using an abrasive device to peel away the uppermost layers of the skin, including dead skin cells, the dark patches affected by melasma, and its surrounding healthy skin. This is a more invasive process that can treat deeply-rooted melasma spots and make way for newer skin cells free of blemishes.
By removing the top layer of your skin's surface, you're able to clear away hyperpigmented skin cells by removing brown patches and bringing forward newer skin cells free of blemishes. This may require a longer downtime period compared to other melasma treatments, but this option allows you to get down to the deeper root of your melasma, remove any affected skin cells, and replace it with flawlessly healthy cells.
Microdermabrasion is a less intense version of dermabrasion. Rather than removing deeper layers of both damaged and regular skin cells, microdermabrasion only targets the skin cells affected by melasma. It’s less invasive and treats melasma at a more superficial level.
For epidermal melasma that has only recently appeared on your face and isn’t as deep as dermal melasma, microdermabrasion may be the better alternative to provide effective results without you having to undergo longer downtime. This process simply exfoliates your skin with a gentle abrasion to minimize the appearance of melasma, rather than replacing all the existing skin cells that make your spots more visible.
Chemical peels are an acidic treatment that safely remove the top layers of your skin in areas affected by melasma and the skin surrounding it. These get rid of the discolored skin cells and promote your skin’s natural healing process to produce newer, healthier skin in its place.
While there are DIY chemical peels available, these are very superficial and don’t have the same strength and effectiveness that our medical spa can provide. Depending on the severity of your melasma, we can use mild, light chemical peels or deep chemical peels that can remove damaged skin cells rooted deeper in your skin layers. Light chemical peels involve little to no downtime, but deeper peels can require up to three weeks of recovery.
Laser therapy uses advanced laser technology to perform two things: remove the upper layers of skin affected by melasma, and trigger your skin’s natural healing process. By removing the outer layers of skin, laser treatments can get rid of older, damaged skin cells that are discolored by melasma. This can give way to newer skin cells with your actual skin tone, giving you a flawless complexion when it heals.
Getting laser treatment for melasma is best for those who want to speed up the healing process. The laser’s heat stimulates collagen and elastin production, which can give your skin a younger, firmer appearance and a healthy glow. At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we use state-of-the-art lasers that can be applied to patients, regardless of skin tone or hair color.
Melasma isn’t a life-threatening condition and is not cancerous or something that can develop into skin cancer. However, some skin cancers may be overlooked as melasma, so having it checked by a medical professional is a good way to detect if it is a more serious concern.
Melasma, however, can be a point of insecurity for many as hyperpigmentation can appear in unflattering areas. While some can fade and others can be treated with topical skincare products, not everyone’s spots can go away that easily. Through our aesthetic treatments, you get experienced medical professionals, state-of-the-art equipment, and the best practices in the industry to help you re-develop flawless skin.
Anyone with melasma can seek treatment for their spots. If you’ve had melasma spots for a long time, you might want to seek aesthetic treatments to reduce the appearance of your spots through various treatments.
However, each treatment has their own type of ideal candidate, side effects, and recovery period, so not all of them may be the best option for you. For instance, deep chemical peels may not be the best option for those with sensitive skin, while dermabrasion can involve a longer recovery period.
To know which among the melasma treatments are best for you, schedule an initial consultation. Our aesthetic doctors can understand your condition better and determine which route is the best option for your condition and the severity of your melasma.
A: Melasma is caused by your melanocytes, which are the part of your skin cells responsible for creating an even skin tone. This means home remedies may not be as effective at improving the appearance of melasma as topical treatment options or aesthetic treatments. However, melasma can be recurring, so practices like using topical medication, wearing sunscreen, using sun protection, and using a mild skin care product that’s right for your skin type can help prevent triggering your melasma.
A: Melasma is determined by discolored patches of skin found on your face, though it can also appear on body parts like your arms and neck that are frequently exposed to sunlight. Doctors can determine if you have melasma during a visual examination, though they may also perform a small biopsy or use a Wood’s light to check if it is melasma.
A: Like many other aesthetic treatments, there may be some common side effects that can temporarily cause minor discomfort. This ultimately depends on which melasma treatment you choose to treat your condition. For instance, deep chemical peels can cause scabbing and swelling, while microdermabrasion can result in dry skin and skin irritation. Our doctors can recommend the best aftercare practices for each type of melasma treatment to minimize the side effects.

Aging is inevitable for everyone, and different signs of aging can start to show anywhere on your skin as you grow older. Fine lines, wrinkles, scars, sun-damaged skin, liver spots, birthmarks, and other skin imperfections are just some of the unwanted features that can make you appear older than you really are.
At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we offer our patients effective cosmetic treatments to reduce the appearance of these unsightly areas using state-of-the-art laser technology. With our lasers and team of skilled and precise medical professionals, our laser skin resurfacing procedures can get rid of old, dull, and blemished skin and replace it with younger and firmer skin free of spots, lines, and other types of blemishes.
Through laser skin surfacing, we can clear away common skin issues on old skin and bring forward newer skin cells rich in collagen and nutrients for that natural youthful glow and skin rejuvenation. At our clinic, you can expect exceptional service that can enhance your appearance without the need for more invasive plastic surgery.
Also known as laser peel, laser vaporization, or lasabrasion, laser resurfacing is an aesthetic treatment that uses the latest laser technology to treat blemishes like acne, sun-damaged skin, and various signs of aging, including wrinkles. This process triggers your skin’s natural healing process. As a result, it sheds away the older layer of skin at the surface to make way for newer, younger skin cells.
During a laser skin resurfacing treatment, our doctor will use an advanced fractional laser to send short, concentrated pulsating beams of light onto the treatment area. This will do two things: first, it will remove the epidermis – the unwanted damaged skin composed of old skin cells – with one precise layer at a time. Second, it heats the next layer of the skin, the dermis, which triggers your body’s natural collagen production, which can improve the skin quality around the area. After the treatment, the new skin that develops over the treated area is smoother and firmer.
At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we use the latest laser technology and work with precision and accuracy. This means minimal discomfort especially in delicate treatment areas, as well as a lowered risk of side effects like skin discoloration common in older laser equipment. Our team is fully-equipped with both the technology and the skills to produce stunning, youthful results.
And by using lasers to stimulate your body’s collagen and elastin production, your body can naturally develop natural-looking results. Collagen and elastin are responsible for keep your skin elastic, firm, and healthy, and it’s a normal part of aging for your skin to produce less of these over time. Laser resurfacing can give your skin a boost to increase production and a signal to get rid of the old skin and replace it with better-looking skin.
Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced non-surgical alternative for more invasive plastic surgery procedures like facelifts and skin grafting. Its minimally invasive process can treat a number of skin problems on the face and body, including:
The number of sessions required per patient to achieve smoother, younger-looking skin can vary. From these numerous skin issues, some of the benefits laser resurfacing patients can receive include:
When you get your laser skin resurfacing from Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, you’re in the hands of skilled medical professionals equipped with the best techniques in the industry and world-class equipment to produce the best results customed to your skin conditions.

Schedule an initial consultation with Dr. V Medical Aesthetics and we can determine if laser skin resurfacing is the right treatment towards younger, healthier skin.
A: Yes! At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we use state-of-the-art laser equipment that can safely and effectively treat people any skin type and hair color without any major side effects. In the past, laser treatments like laser resurfacing or laser hair removal were limited to people with lighter skin because older laser equipment could cause skin discoloration that was more visible (and permanent) on people with a darker skin tone. The dark pigment in hair color was also essential for lasers to effectively heat the skin, so people with lighter hair colors were difficult to treat.
A: The cost of treatment can vary between patients, the targeted areas, and the type of laser that best suits your body type and treatment. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average non-ablative laser session can cost $1,031 per session, while ablative skin resurfacing treatments are $2,330 per session. Depending on the issue you want to treat, you may need up to four treatments before you can achieve the results you want. Schedule a consultation with us to get a more accurate estimate based on the areas you want lasered.
A: Some common side effects can include swelling, redness, bumps, peeling, and scabbing around the treated area, which can be treated with over-the-counter pain relievers, home remedies, and other remedies our doctors may provide you. It can take from 3 to 10 days for your treated area to heal, and the bigger the treatment area, the longer the recovery time.
At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we want to give our patients their desired appearance to enhance their natural beauty and highlight their best features. On top of getting laser treatments, we can provide you with an effective treatment plan specifically designed to help you rejuvenate your appearance and bring out your best self.

Tattoos are a way for many people to express themselves. It’s a lifetime commitment, which is why you should carefully think about its design and where to put it. However, there are times when people want or need to remove their tattoos; whether the design isn’t your style anymore or you need to remove it for other reasons, the good news is that there’s a safe way to erase it.
Dr. V Medical Aesthetics helps patients eliminate their unwanted tattoos using laser treatments. By targeting the ink particles underneath the skin, patients can see their tattoos visibly fade and restore their flawless skin after just a few treatment sessions.
By starting your laser tattoo removal appointment today, you can experience the best tattoo removal methods in our state-of-the-art facilities. There’s no need to worry about the unwanted tattoo on your skin – our trained laser technicians can help you get rid of the tattoo ink color on your skin safely and effectively.
Laser therapy is widely used in different treatments like tattoo removal. It’s a minimally invasive way to gradually fade different kinds of tattoos over a few weeks and multiple treatment sessions.
What’s great about this type of procedure is that there are tons of studies and research that prove its safety and effectiveness, making it one of the most common ways to erase unwanted tattoos in the body.
Laser tattoo removal works by breaking up the tattoo ink into smaller particles. The light energy from the laser tattoo removal device doesn’t damage the surrounding skin, so you don’t need to worry about the procedure leaving scars as plastic surgery does.
Different colored tattoos absorb the high-intensity laser light from the device differently. Black pigments absorb laser wavelength well, which makes them the easiest tattoo color to remove. Other colored inks might need different lasers, so make sure to consult with an expert like our team at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics to find the right laser treatment for you.
By targeting the tattoo pigments underneath the skin, laser tattoo removal erases your old tats and restores your ink-free skin after just a couple of treatment sessions.
While there are other treatments available for eliminating unwanted and traumatic tattoos on the skin, laser tattoo removal offers benefits that patients can enjoy like:
Laser tattoo removal is the safest and most effective way to erase unwanted ink. But to ensure that you’re getting the best laser tattoo removal work, it’s crucial to find an experienced laser technician or medical spa that has successfully performed the procedure before.
Before laser tattoo removal became a popular way to erase unwanted tattoos in different parts of the body, many patients turned to surgical removal and dermabrasion treatments first. Although they’re effective in removing tattoos, patients often experienced side effects and complications like infection and scarring.
By specifically targeting the tattoo pigment and reducing them into tiny particles, laser tattoo removal keeps your skin intact and unharmed throughout the treatment session. There’s no need to worry about pain and a long recovery process with this treatment.
However, there are some situations when other treatment options work better than laser tattoo removal. For example, patients with darker skin tone have a higher risk of developing side effects so surgical removal, dermabrasion, or covering up the tattoo might be a better option for them.
Before trying any kind of treatment, make sure to consult with an expert or plastic surgeon first to find the best procedure for you.
A: No. Chemical peels and tattoo removal creams are widely available at-home treatment options, but there’s not enough proof that they work in erasing tattoos. At best, they only lighten the tattoo by a few shades. Using these products puts you at risk of an allergic reaction, skin irritation, or serious chemical burn especially if you have a sensitive skin type.
A: While it’s relatively safer than other treatment options, patients might still experience side effects like infection, hypopigmentation, or hyperpigmentation in the treated area. Finding an expert technician like our team at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics to perform the treatment helps minimize the risk of developing these complications.
A: The exact number of treatment sessions required varies per patient. It all depends on the size, ink color, age, and location of the tattoo. Smaller and darker tattoos only need fewer treatments. Consult with an experienced laser technician like our experts at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics today to know more about the right laser removal treatment for you.

Shaving, plucking, and waxing unwanted body hair is a tiring and time-consuming activity for most people. However, keeping the bikini area and other parts of the body hair-free is important for good hygiene so you have to endure these painful hair removal methods.
But at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we solve this problem using safe and effective laser hair removal treatments for both male and female patients. By targeting the dark hair follicle of the hair shaft, a patient can get rid of hair in the underarms, legs, bikini area, and other parts of the body – quickly and painlessly.
By getting a laser hair removal treatment at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, you can experience the best procedure that hair removal methods have to offer. There’s no need to feel conscious about hair peeking out when you’re wearing a bikini – our highly trained staff can help you remove unwanted body hair for good.
Laser treatments are widely used in a plethora of medical and cosmetic procedures, like laser skin resurfacing and laser body hair removal. This minimally invasive procedure is a popular way to get rid of unwanted hair in the sensitive areas of the body and prevent them from growing so patients don’t have to worry about stray hairs for at least a few months.
During the procedure, the doctor uses a special device that delivers intensely focused laser light to the hair in the treatment areas. The light energy penetrates deep into the skin and reaches the pigment of each hair follicle.
As the follicle heats up, it becomes useless and unable to grow a hair shaft. For the treatment to be more effective, it’s important to perform it while the hair is still in its growth phase. Because of this, multiple treatment sessions are recommended to completely eliminate unwanted hair.
What’s great about this procedure is that it removes unwanted body hair without harming the surface of the skin, so patients don’t need to worry about scarring. By causing the hair to fall out and preventing the follicle from growing new shafts, patients can enjoy a safe and quick hair removal treatment that lasts for several months – no matter where the unwanted hairs are in the body.
Laser hair removal treatments offer several benefits for patients:
While laser hair removal treatments are generally safe, it’s important to find an experienced aesthetician or laser technician in a reputable medical spa to perform the treatment for you. This ensures that you’re getting high-quality treatments and easy access to better care in case of side effects or complications.
The good news is that laser hair removal’s benefits aren’t just limited to simple hair removal. This treatment is also useful for reducing and preventing active acne in the treated areas.
Acne is often caused by different factors, including oily skin, ingrown hairs, and the presence of bacteria on the skin’s surface. For many patients, the clump of body and facial hair is a harbor for the acne-causing bacteria. The ingrown hairs also facilitate the growth of these bacteria and further inflame or irritate the surrounding skin.
Laser hair removal treatments are a huge help in reducing acne by minimizing the hairy areas where bacteria might cling onto and grow. Less ingrown hairs also mean less irritation and bumpy surfaces on the skin. Many patients experienced fewer acne breakouts in the treated sites and noticed a significant improvement in the skin’s texture.
However, laser hair removal shouldn’t be considered the sole treatment for reducing acne. It’s still better to consult a dermatologist or skincare expert about the cause of your breakouts and the best way to deal with them depending on your skin type.
Laser treatments work better than most hair removal methods in keeping certain parts of your body hair-free. You’re a good candidate for permanent hair reduction treatment if you:
A: Yes, but they’re mostly minor. Patients may experience redness, swelling, and other mild symptoms in the treated area but they eventually subside after a few days. Changes in skin color are also quite common especially for those with darker skin tone, but the color eventually returns to normal.
A: No. Rather than seeing the treated hair immediately fall out after the laser hair removal session, patients shed them over the following weeks. Multiple treatments are recommended so patients can ensure that all the unwanted hair in the treatment area is removed.
A: The exact number of treatment sessions depends on the amount of hair and size of the treatment area. To know more about the customized treatment plan for you, make sure to consult with our experts at Dr. V Medical Aesthetics today.
