General Questions

Vellia Aesthetics offers personalized treatment plans using the latest medical-grade technologies. Our experienced practitioners tailor each treatment to your specific skin concerns and goals, ensuring optimal results with minimal downtime.

Most people are suitable candidates for our treatments. During your consultation, we'll assess your skin condition, medical history, and goals to recommend the most appropriate treatments. Certain conditions like pregnancy, active infections, or specific medications may affect treatment suitability.

We offer a Discovery Consultation specifically for clients unsure about which treatment would best address their concerns. Our practitioners will assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs and goals.

Yes, many of our treatments work synergistically when combined. For example, microneedling with PRP, or LED therapy following other treatments. Your practitioner will advise on the best combination approach during your consultation.

Microneedling & Dermapen

Dermapen 4 is an advanced automated microneedling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using 12 ultra-fine needles. This stimulates your body's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production for improved skin texture, reduced scarring, and overall rejuvenation.

For optimal results, we typically recommend 3-5 monthly or biweekly treatments. The exact number depends on your specific skin concerns and goals.

A numbing cream is applied 30-45 minutes before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild tingling or light scratching. The treatment is generally well-tolerated.

Microneedling effectively treats:
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scarring
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Stretch marks
  • Skin laxity

You may experience redness and mild swelling for 1-4 days after treatment. Most people can return to normal activities immediately, though you should avoid makeup for 24 hours.

Basic microneedling: Stimulates collagen production
With PRP: Accelerates healing and enhances results using your body's growth factors
With NCTF® Glow Therapy: Adds vitamins and nutrients for enhanced skin quality
With Mesotherapy Glides: Targets specific concerns like pigmentation or aging

Microneedling starts from $249 for full face treatment. Add-on treatments range from $88-$350 depending on the enhancement chosen. Package deals offer significant savings.

PRP & PRF Treatments

PRF is a newer generation of PRP. While PRP is spun at high speed to separate platelets, PRF is spun slower, preserving more white cells, stem cells, and platelets. PRF also contains no anticoagulants, forming a fibrin matrix that provides longer-lasting results.

The procedure involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, then injecting it into the treatment area after applying numbing cream.

  • Facial rejuvenation and anti-aging
  • Hair loss and thinning
  • Under-eye hollows and dark circles
  • Skin texture and tone improvement
  • Acne scarring
  • Volume loss

Results are most noticeable after several weeks for facial treatments and six months for hair treatments. Effects typically last 1-2 years, though maintenance treatments are recommended.

Since the treatment uses your own blood, side effects are minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites that resolves within 24-48 hours.

Eat a meal before treatment to avoid lightheadedness. For hair treatments, wash your hair on the day of treatment but don't use any products.

LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate different depths of skin. Each color addresses different concerns - red light stimulates collagen, blue light kills acne bacteria, and near-infrared penetrates deepest for healing.

Yes, LED therapy is FDA-approved and safe for all skin types and tones. Unlike UV light, LEDs don't damage skin or cause burns.

The treatment is painless and relaxing. You may feel gentle warmth but no discomfort. Sessions typically last 20-35 minutes.

For best results, we recommend weekly sessions initially, then maintenance treatments 2-3 times monthly. Our monthly subscription offers 2 sessions per month plus 10% off other treatments.

Yes! LED therapy is an excellent add-on to enhance healing after microneedling, chemical peels, or other treatments. It reduces downtime and improves results.

Immediate benefits include improved glow and reduced redness. With regular treatments, you'll see:
  • Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improved acne
  • More even skin tone
  • Better texture and elasticity

RF Skin Tightening

RF energy heats the deep layers of skin to stimulate collagen, elastin, and new skin cell production. This results in firmer, tighter skin without surgery.

Most people find the treatment comfortable, describing it as a warm sensation similar to a hot stone massage. The treatment area may feel warm with mild tingling.

With proper skincare, results typically last 1-3 years. The skin continues to improve for up to 6 months after treatment as new collagen forms.

  • Face (jowls, nasolabial folds, forehead)
  • Neck and décolletage
  • Body areas with loose skin

We typically recommend 3-4 treatments for optimal results. Our package deal offers 4 treatments for the price of 3, saving you $189.

RF is a no-downtime procedure. You may have mild redness for up to 24 hours but can resume normal activities immediately.

Rejuran Treatments

Rejuran contains polynucleotides (PN) extracted from salmon DNA. These DNA fragments are 97% similar to human DNA and work to repair damaged skin, enhance cell turnover, and improve overall skin health by promoting collagen production.

Yes, the product is so highly purified that there have been no reported immunological or allergic responses, even in those with seafood allergies.

While dermal fillers add volume and fill wrinkles, Rejuran works at a cellular level to repair and regenerate skin. It improves skin quality, texture, and elasticity rather than adding volume.

Initial improvements may be visible within 1-2 weeks, but optimal results develop over 4-6 weeks as skin regeneration occurs. Full benefits are seen after completing the recommended treatment series.

We typically recommend 3-4 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart for optimal results, followed by annual maintenance treatments.

Rejuran Full Face (2ml): Treats overall skin aging, damaged barrier, and elasticity loss
Rejuran Under Eyes (1ml): Specifically targets dark circles, hollowness, and fine lines in the delicate eye area
