FAQ - Medical Spa
What is a medical spa, and how is it different from a regular spa?
A medical spa combines clinical expertise with a relaxing environment, offering treatments that go beyond what a traditional day spa can provide. Services like injectables, laser treatments, and medical-grade skincare are performed by trained professionals under medical oversight. This allows a medical spa to address specific skin and body concerns using clinically supported treatments rather than purely relaxation-focused services.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
How much does Botox cost and how long do results last?
Botox is priced per unit, so cost varies based on the treatment area and how many units your goals require. Results typically last three to four months before treatments need to be repeated. A consultation gives you an accurate quote, since online estimates rarely account for individual factors like muscle strength and the depth of your frown lines.
What's the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox relaxes facial muscles to soften lines caused by movement, such as frown lines or crow’s feet. Dermal fillers instead add volume to areas that have lost structure, like the cheeks or lips. Many patients combine both in one personalized treatment plan, and a consultation helps determine which option — or combination — best matches your goals.
Skin Treatments: HydraFacial, Microneedling, and PRP
What skin treatments does a medical spa offer for texture and tone?
A medical spa typically offers HydraFacial and medical facials, microneedling, chemical peels, and PRP therapy for facial rejuvenation. Microneedling stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture, while HydraFacial deep cleanses and hydrates in a single visit. Consultations help assess your skin type so your provider can recommend the right treatment or combination for your concerns.
How many microneedling or PRP sessions do I need to see results?
Most patients need a series of treatments rather than a single visit to see meaningful improvement in skin texture or tone. Microneedling and PRP sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin’s natural healing process to complete between appointments. Your provider will outline a realistic schedule based on your skin concerns during your consultation.
Laser Hair Removal
Is laser hair removal permanent, and how many sessions are needed?
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth over time but isn’t guaranteed to be permanent for every patient, since results vary based on hair colour, skin tone, and hormonal factors. Most patients need seven to twelve sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart for best results, with occasional maintenance treatments afterward to manage any regrowth.
Body Contouring and Fat Dissolving
Can I improve body contouring without a surgical procedure?
Yes. Non-surgical body contouring treatments, such as fat dissolving injections, target stubborn fat and can improve body appearance without the downtime or risks associated with a surgical procedure. These treatments work gradually over several sessions rather than producing immediate results, so a completed treatment series and patience matter for the best outcome.
Hair Restoration
Can PRP help with hair thinning?
PRP therapy uses your own blood to deliver growth factors directly to thinning areas of the scalp, which can support hair density in cases of early to moderate hair loss. Most patients need three initial sessions before noticing improvement, followed by maintenance treatments. It works best on active hair follicles rather than completely bald areas.
Cost, Financing, and Booking
How much do treatments cost, and are financing options available?
Costs vary based on treatment type, treatment area, and how many sessions your goals require, so prices differ from patient to patient. Beauty Aesthetics offers financing through Affirm, allowing patients to spread the cost of a treatment plan into monthly payments instead of paying in full upfront. A consultation is the most reliable way to get an accurate quote.
How do I book a consultation at Beauty Aesthetics in Vaughan?
You can book a consultation by contacting Beauty Aesthetics directly or by submitting a request through the website. Consultations are typically available within a short timeframe, and appointments can often be scheduled for the same week. This is the best first step to learn about your options and receive a personalized treatment plan.
