Everything you need to know about our treatments at Zorah Med Spa MD.
General Information
Welcome to Zorah Med Spa MD. Here is what to expect from your visit.
Yes, we recommend a consultation for all new patients to assess your skin type, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan.
During your initial consultation, our experts will analyze your skin and recommend the best treatments based on your specific needs, whether it's anti-aging, acne, or volume loss.
Absolutely. All our treatments are performed by licensed and extensively trained medical professionals using FDA-approved technologies and products.
Please arrive with a clean face free of makeup. Avoid intense sun exposure, retinoids, and exfoliating acids for at least 3-5 days prior to most skin treatments.
Yes, we offer flexible payment options. Please contact our front desk for more information on the financing partners we work with.
We require a 24-48 hour notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations may be subject to a fee.
Many treatments, such as Botox and Fillers, or Microneedling and Exosomes, pair beautifully together. We will let you know which combinations are safe for the same day.
Yes! All of our services, including Botox, laser hair removal, and weight loss programs, are highly effective and tailored for both men and women.
Patients must be 18 years or older for injectables and advanced laser treatments. Minors may receive certain treatments with parental consent.
Yes, we carry a curated selection of medical-grade skincare products to help you maintain and enhance your results at home.
Chemical Peels
Reveal smoother, brighter skin with our expert chemical peel treatment—exfoliate, renew, and rejuvenate effortlessly.
A chemical peel uses a safe, acidic solution to exfoliate the top layers of the skin, revealing the newer, healthier skin underneath.
You may feel a warm, tingling, or slightly stinging sensation during the application, but it is generally very tolerable and subsides quickly.
Depending on the depth of the peel, you may experience light flaking to sheet peeling. Some mild peels cause microscopic shedding that you can't even see.
Downtime ranges from 0 to 7 days depending on whether you receive a light, medium, or deep peel.
They are excellent for treating acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, fine lines, uneven texture, and sun damage.
A series of 3 to 6 peels spaced a few weeks apart is usually recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.
We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24-48 hours to allow your skin to breathe and heal properly.
Yes, but the type of peel must be carefully selected. We offer specific peels formulated to safely treat melanin-rich skin without causing hyperpigmentation.
Light peels can be done monthly for maintenance, while deeper peels are typically done once or twice a year.
Strict sun avoidance and daily SPF are mandatory after a chemical peel, as your fresh skin is highly sensitive to UV damage.
Microneedling
Stimulate collagen, improve texture, and achieve radiant, youthful skin with our advanced microneedling treatment.
Microneedling creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing process to produce new collagen and elastin.
We apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream before the treatment to ensure your comfort. Most patients report only a mild vibration sensation.
It effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture.
You will look like you have a mild to moderate sunburn for 24-48 hours. Most people return to normal activities the next day.
You will notice an immediate "glow," but true collagen building takes 4 to 6 weeks. Results continue to improve over several months.
For general rejuvenation, 3 treatments are ideal. For acne scarring or deep wrinkles, 4-6 sessions may be required.
No, microneedling should not be performed over active, inflamed acne as it can spread bacteria. It is, however, perfect for treating post-acne scars.
The actual procedure takes about 30 minutes, but we schedule a full hour to allow time for the numbing cream to take effect.
Wait at least 4 hours, and then use only a gentle cleanser and plain water. Avoid active ingredients like Vitamin C or Retinol for several days.
Yes! Microneedling pairs exceptionally well with Exosomes or PRP/PRF to significantly accelerate healing and enhance results.
Botox
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a refreshed, youthful look with our expert Botox treatment.
Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles formed by facial expressions).
The most common areas are the forehead lines, frown lines (11s between the eyebrows), and crow's feet around the eyes.
The injection process is very quick, usually taking only 10 to 15 minutes. It is often called a "lunchtime procedure."
We use an extremely fine needle. Most patients describe it as a quick, tiny pinch that is highly tolerable.
You may start to notice changes in 3-5 days, but it takes a full 14 days for Botox to completely set and show the final result.
Results typically last between 3 and 4 months, depending on your metabolism and muscle strength.
No. Our goal at Zorah Med Spa MD is a natural, rested look. We dose conservatively so you can still express emotions naturally.
Botox relaxes muscles to smooth expression lines, whereas Fillers restore lost volume and fill in deeper static folds.
For the first 24 hours, do not rub the treated areas, avoid heavy exercise, and stay upright for 4 hours post-treatment.
Many patients start in their mid-to-late 20s or early 30s as a preventative measure to stop wrinkles before they form permanently.
Exosome Rejuvenation
Revitalize skin, boost collagen, and promote healing with our cutting-edge exosome rejuvenation treatment.
Exosomes are powerful messenger particles containing growth factors, peptides, and RNA that instruct older skin cells to regenerate and repair themselves.
While PRP uses growth factors from your own blood, Exosomes are lab-derived, highly concentrated, and contain billions more growth factors without needing a blood draw.
Exosomes are applied topically immediately following microneedling or laser treatments, allowing them to penetrate deep into the micro-channels created.
They drastically reduce redness, accelerate healing time, boost collagen production up to 300%, and improve overall skin tone and texture.
Yes. The exosomes we use are heavily purified, sterilized, and free of any cellular DNA, making them incredibly safe and highly effective.
Yes! When applied to the scalp with microneedling, exosomes can stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote thicker, healthier hair growth.
Exosomes typically cut downtime in half. Redness that normally lasts days can subside within just 24 hours.
You will notice a brighter complexion within days, but the profound structural changes and collagen building occur over 6-8 weeks.
We generally recommend a series of 3 to 5 treatments depending on the severity of your skin concerns or hair loss.
Anyone looking to reverse signs of aging, treat scars, promote hair growth, or simply achieve a radiant, youthful glow with minimal downtime.
Dermal Fillers
Restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours with our expertly applied dermal filler treatments.
Most of our fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps retain moisture and softness.
Popular areas include the lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, under-eyes (tear troughs), and the nasolabial folds (smile lines).
Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, or even longer for mid-face contouring.
No. Our philosophy is subtle enhancement. We aim to restore lost volume and enhance your natural contours, not change your face.
Fillers contain lidocaine (a numbing agent), and we also apply topical numbing cream prior to treatment, making the process very comfortable.
There is minimal downtime. You may experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days, which can easily be covered with makeup.
Yes, Hyaluronic Acid fillers are completely reversible. An enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to safely dissolve the filler.
We advise avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and the risk of bruising.
It is best to wait at least a week before flying, as changes in cabin pressure can sometimes exacerbate swelling.
You don't always have to choose! Botox stops the muscle movement that creates wrinkles, while Fillers replace lost volume. They work best together.
PRP / PRF Treatments
Stimulate natural healing, boost collagen, and rejuvenate your skin with our advanced PRP/PRF treatments.
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, and PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin. Both are derived from your own blood to promote intense tissue healing.
PRF is the next generation of PRP. It is spun at a slower speed, retaining more white blood cells and stem cells, and releases growth factors more slowly for better results.
We draw a small vial of your blood (like a routine lab test) and spin it in a centrifuge to separate the golden, platelet-rich liquid from the red blood cells.
It can be applied topically during microneedling (often called the "Vampire Facial") or injected directly into the skin like a natural filler.
Because PRP/PRF is made 100% from your own biological material, the risk of an allergic reaction or rejection is virtually zero.
Yes! PRF injections are one of the most effective natural treatments for rejuvenating the delicate under-eye area, reducing dark circles and hollows.
Absolutely. When injected into the scalp, the growth factors wake up dormant hair follicles, increase blood supply, and thicken existing hair.
We typically recommend 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for the best, most cumulative results.
Initial improvements in skin tone are visible within weeks, but collagen synthesis takes time. Peak results appear around 3 to 6 months post-treatment.
Because it stimulates your body's own natural collagen production, results can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, maintained by a healthy lifestyle.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Resurface skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve texture with our advanced CO2 laser resurfacing treatment.
It is a highly advanced fractional laser that removes the outer layers of damaged skin while heating the dermis to stimulate intense collagen production.
It is the gold standard for treating deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, hyperpigmentation, age spots, and stubborn acne scars.
We use strong topical anesthetics and cooling devices to ensure you are comfortable. You will feel a warm, prickling sensation during the procedure.
Downtime is typically 5 to 7 days. Your skin will be red, swollen, and will eventually peel as the new, flawless skin emerges.
Yes, peeling usually starts around day 3 or 4. It is crucial not to pick or pull at the skin to prevent scarring.
Because CO2 is a powerful laser, many patients see dramatic results in just one session. Deeper scars may require 2 to 3 sessions.
Yes, it is highly effective for smoothing the "crepey" skin and sun spots frequently found on the neck and décolletage.
CO2 lasers carry a risk of hyperpigmentation for darker skin tones. A consultation is required to determine if this laser is safe for your specific Fitzpatrick skin type.
Once peeling finishes (about a week), your skin will look vibrant. However, collagen remodeling continues for 3 to 6 months, meaning your skin gets tighter over time.
You must keep the skin constantly hydrated with the ointments we provide, avoid all sun exposure, and pause all active skincare ingredients until fully healed.
Laser Hair Removal
Achieve smooth, hair-free skin with our safe, effective, and long-lasting laser hair removal treatment.
The laser emits light energy that targets the pigment in the hair follicle. This energy destroys the follicle, preventing future hair growth.
It is considered long-term permanent hair reduction. Most patients experience 80-90% permanent hair loss, though occasional touch-ups may be needed over the years.
Our advanced lasers feature cooling technology to minimize discomfort. It feels like a quick rubber band snap against the skin.
Hair grows in cycles, and the laser only targets hair in the active growth phase. Therefore, 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart are needed to catch all hairs.
No! You must actually shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session so the laser energy targets the root under the skin, not the hair on the surface.
No. Waxing and plucking remove the root, which the laser needs to target. You may only shave between your appointments.
Yes, our Nd:YAG laser technology bypasses the melanin in the skin and strictly targets the hair follicle, making it safe and effective for dark skin tones.
You should avoid tanning, sunbeds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks prior to treatment to avoid the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation.
We can treat almost anywhere! Popular areas include the face, underarms, bikini/brazilian, legs, back, and chest.
Mild redness and swelling around the hair follicles (resembling goosebumps) are normal immediately after treatment and subside within a few hours.
Medical Weight Loss
Transform your body and boost your confidence with our personalized, results-driven weight loss treatments.
Medical weight loss is supervised by healthcare professionals who use comprehensive blood work, metabolic analysis, and FDA-approved medications to guarantee safe, sustainable results.
Yes, depending on your medical history and eligibility, we prescribe modern weight loss injectables (like Semaglutide/Tirzepatide) that suppress appetite and regulate blood sugar.
Ideal candidates are those with a BMI over 27 who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. A consultation will determine if this is safe for you.
While results vary, many patients lose 10% to 20% of their total body weight over a 6 to 12 month period when combining medication with lifestyle changes.
While the medication significantly reduces your appetite, we guide you on making healthier, protein-rich food choices to ensure you lose fat, not muscle.
Yes. To maintain a healthy metabolism and preserve muscle mass during rapid weight loss, incorporating strength training and light cardio is highly recommended.
The most common side effects are mild nausea, constipation, or fatigue as your body adjusts. We manage the dosing carefully to minimize these effects.
The duration depends on your weight loss goals. Some stay on for 3-6 months, while others utilize the program for a year or longer for weight maintenance.
Absolutely. You will have regular check-ins with our medical staff to track your progress, adjust dosages, and receive nutritional guidance.
Our spa operates on a self-pay basis. However, we accept HSA/FSA cards and offer financing options to make your body transformation affordable.
