Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our treatments, preparation, and what to expect on your journey to radiant, confident skin.
Injectables
Botox, Fillers & Threads
Botox typically lasts 3–4 months, while dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending on the product used and the area treated. PDO thread lifts can last up to 2 years. During your consultation, your provider will give you a personalized timeline based on your aesthetic goals and metabolism.
At Ruaa MedSpa, our philosophy is "enhance, never overdone." Our board-certified providers use a conservative, graduated approach — starting with less and adding more only if needed. The result is a refreshed, rested version of you that looks completely natural.
Most injectable treatments have minimal downtime. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site for 24–48 hours. Most clients return to work and social activities the same day or the next day.
A PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin. The threads stimulate collagen production, providing both an immediate lifting effect and long-term skin improvement. Results can last up to 2 years.
Laser & Skin
Laser Treatments & Skincare
The number of sessions varies by treatment and individual. Laser hair removal typically requires 6–8 sessions for optimal results, while CO2 laser resurfacing may show dramatic improvement in 1–3 sessions. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.
Yes. We use FDA-cleared, advanced laser technologies that can be safely calibrated for all skin tones. Our providers are trained to adjust settings based on your skin type, concerns, and sensitivity to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
CO2 fractional laser is highly effective for treating acne scars, surgical scars, deep wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. It also stimulates collagen for ongoing skin improvement over the following months.
Yes. We offer specialized laser protocols targeting hyperpigmentation and melasma. These treatments break down excess pigment while being gentle enough to avoid worsening the condition. A series of sessions combined with medical-grade skincare typically delivers the best results.
Body
Contouring & Rejuvenation
Multishape is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that combines multiple technologies to reduce fat, tighten skin, and improve body shape. It requires no downtime and is ideal for targeting stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise.
Yes. Our CO2 laser vaginal rejuvenation is a safe, non-surgical treatment that addresses concerns like laxity, dryness, and mild incontinence. Most clients see improvement after 1–3 sessions with no downtime. The treatment is performed in a private, comfortable setting.
Fat-dissolving and contouring treatments permanently destroy fat cells in the treated area. However, maintaining a stable weight is important — remaining fat cells can still expand. We recommend a healthy lifestyle to preserve your results long-term.
Hair & Dental
Restoration & Whitening
Our hair restoration treatments use a combination of advanced technologies to stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote natural regrowth. The treatment is non-surgical, minimally invasive, and tailored to your specific pattern of hair loss. A series of sessions is typically recommended for optimal results.
Our professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile by several shades in a single session. The exact results depend on your starting shade and enamel condition. Results are immediate and can last 6–12 months with proper maintenance.
Yes. We use professional-grade whitening systems designed to minimize sensitivity. Our providers assess your enamel and gum health before treatment and can adjust the formulation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Facials
Signature Facials
Our signature facials are physician-designed and administered by licensed aestheticians using medical-grade products and advanced technologies. Each facial is customized to your skin's needs, combining deep cleansing, exfoliation, targeted serums, and advanced modalities for visible, lasting results.
For optimal skin health, we recommend a facial every 4–6 weeks. This aligns with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Your aesthetician will recommend a personalized schedule based on your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals.
Yes. Our acne-focused facials combine deep pore cleansing, medical-grade exfoliation, blue light therapy, and targeted anti-inflammatory treatments to reduce breakouts and improve skin clarity. For persistent acne, we may recommend a combined approach with laser or prescription skincare.
General
Booking & Consultations
Yes. Every new client begins with a comprehensive consultation. This allows our medical team to assess your needs, discuss your goals, review your medical history, and design a personalized treatment plan. Consultations ensure both safety and satisfaction.
Preparation varies by treatment. Generally, avoid sun exposure, retinol, and blood thinners for 3–5 days before your appointment. Detailed pre-care instructions will be provided when you book. If you have questions, our concierge team is always available.
We kindly ask for 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the appointment to another client. Late cancellations may incur a fee. We understand emergencies happen — please call us and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Most treatments involve minimal discomfort. We use numbing cream, cooling devices, and advanced techniques to ensure your comfort. Many clients describe treatments as a mild warming or tingling sensation. Your provider will discuss what to expect before beginning.
