Our Medi Spa Procedures

 

One day you look in the mirror and find that time is taking its toll. You ask yourself, "How did that happen?" Your youthful appearance has become a thing of the past. Granted, a quality skin care regime is absolutely necessary and will be beneficial, but you soon realize that it's only one part of the equation.

 

You have heard much about various medi spa procedures and likely know of people who have already set out on this path. You may be torn about taking this step yourself, fearful of the potential risks involved. Though you have seen successes, you have also seen disastrous results. You don't want to look like an entirely different person, just a more youthful version of yourself. And you definitely don't want to have these treatments done by just anyone. We understand your fears.

 

This is where Dr. Rafik Nasr

and the Heaven & Earth Medi Spa come in.  

 

After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Nasr will outline a treatment plan specifically addressing your physical needs and your overall well-being. With an impressive curriculum vitae and over 20 years of experience, he is committed to offering a balance of natural therapies, preventive treatments, and conventional medicine.  

 

Information about the medi spa procedures

we offer:

Botox
Now you can eliminate crow's feet, forehead wrinkles and frown lines between the brows quickly and safely. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smooths the deep, persistent lines that develop around the eyes and forehead.

The treatment consists of a few tiny injections that relax the muscles that cause frown lines, and keeps them relaxed for up to 4 months. BOTOX® Cosmetic has been widely tested and is approved by the FDA. BOTOX® usually starts relaxing the treated area within several days, but the full effect may not be realized for two weeks. The effects last between 3-4 months on average but everyone is different. Patients are advised to have the first 3 treatments precisely at 12 weeks and the next two treatments precisely at 16 weeks. Typically patients who follow this treatment schedule need less BOTOX® and they increase the time between treatments.

The risks with BOTOX® are minimal. Patients can experience mild bruising or bleeding at the injection site. Rarely, the BOTOX® Cosmetic can affect other muscles in the area. If this were to occur, it would only be temporary, lasting a few weeks.

The results of BOTOX® are not immediate. It may take 24-48 hours to relax the muscles which are relaxed for up to 3 months. Patients then need to return for a second treatment.

Xeomin
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is administered injection, for intramuscular use, is a prescription medication used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. If you are an adult with moderate to severe glabellar lines, XEOMIN may be right for you.   

Belotero
A dermal filler as unique as you are. Specially designed to integrate into your skin and mold to your distinct facial contours. By adapting to the individuality of your skin, it softens lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth for smooth and natural results that are uniquely you. BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler has unique properties that allow it to adapt within the skin for soft and even correction. The versatility of the product makes it strong enough to handle deep treatment areas such as nasolabial folds (smile lines around the mouth), yet soft enough to treat more delicate areas such as vertical lip lines (thin lines that appear above the lip line).

BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is made of a material called hyaluronic acid or HA. HA naturally exists as a component of your skin. By binding to water, it fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing immediate and smooth correction.

Restylane
Restylane-L is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler derived from non-animal based natural protein that restores volume and fullness to the lips and corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Treatment takes about 30 minutes and the result is prompt. Hyaluronic acid is present in all living organisms. In your skin, it creates volume, resulting in a healthy and vital appearance.

Radiesse
RADIESSE is safe, FDA-approved dermal filler that restores a natural, youthful look and lasts longer than most fillers. This convenient treatment fills and corrects smile lines, Nasiolabial Folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. RADIESSE is made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure.

RADIESSE works with your body, below the skin's surface. Tiny calcium-based microspheres form a 'scaffold' to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. Over time, the calcium-based microspheres break down and are safely absorbed by your body. RADIESSE does more than just temporarily fill in facial folds and wrinkles- it rebuilds your skin's foundation and restores your youthful look, without the risks associated with a permanent implant.

Juvederm
JUVÉDERM® XC is the smooth gel filler that your doctor uses to instantly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose. With just one treatment, you’ll get smooth and natural-looking results that last up to a year.

Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy involves a series of injections with natural vitamins, minerals, amino acids and medication placed under the skin's surface. It is used to minimize localized fat and cellulite and sculpt the body. This non-invasive procedure is effective in reducing the appearance of cellulite with no downtime and minimal bruising.

Mesotherapy can only be offered by a licensed medical professional. Dr. Nasr combines medication with specific properties to treat localized fat and cellulite. To be effective, this proven medical technique uses a combination of FDA approved medications to shrink fat cells. Medications are injected directly into the unwanted fatty area with  small needles (4-6 mm). Many of the needle sticks are not even felt. Treatments are spaced out every four to six weeks depending on the individual. The number of treatments depends on the size of the individual being treated, the number of body areas requiring treatment, and the chronicity of the problem. 

Sclerotherapy
Scloerotherapy is intended to selectively eliminate abnormal veins by injecting a solution directly into the veins. An inflammatory reaction occurs in the vein wall. During the healing process, the vein shrinks to a small invisible thread of scar tissue.
