Which Treatment is Right for You?
Pick by concern, not by treatment name.
| Concern | Treatment | When results show | How long results last | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frown lines (the “11s”), forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines made by expression) | Botox | First effect in a few days; full result by about approximately two weeks | About 3 to 4 months (FDA label figure for frown lines) | Repeat treatments through the year |
| Flatter cheeks, deeper smile lines from nose to mouth (nasolabial folds), thinner lips, including after weight loss (volume loss visible at rest) | Dermal fillers | Volume shows right away; swelling settles over days | 6 to 12+ months, product-dependent (FDA general figure for hyaluronic-acid fillers; see the filler page for per-product figures) | Top up as the gel is absorbed |
| Stubborn areas such as a double chin, love handles, or inner thighs | Mesotherapy (off-label; not FDA-approved for these uses) | Gradual, across a series of 3-5 sessions | Varies by person; not permanent | Maintenance sessions as agreed with your clinician |
MedSpa Services We Offer
Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
Botox for Expression Lines
Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved cosmetic injectable for frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Botox® offers both women and men a straight forward, non-surgical treatment administered by a physician to temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles and lateral eye areas (crow’s feet). Treatments last approx. 3-4 months. For mechanism, candidacy and side effects, see the Botox treatment page.
Wrinkle & Lip Treatments
Dermal Fillers for Volume Loss and Folds
Dermal fillers such as Restylane® and Juvéderm® are FDA-approved hyaluronic-acid fillers. They are popular long-lasting, non-surgical solutions used to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away “smile lines” and folds. Pricing is based on the number of syringes used with each treatment lasting between 6-12 months. Which product suits which area, longevity and safety are on the dermal filler treatment page.
Eyelash Growth Treatment
Latisse Solution
Latisse® is an FDA-approved prescription treatment designed to promote the growth of longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes. The treatment is applied topically to the base of the upper eyelashes daily, usually at bedtime, using a sterile applicator. Noticeable results typically begin to appear within 4 weeks, with full results visible around 16 weeks. Consistent use is necessary to maintain the results, as lashes gradually return to their original state if treatment is discontinued.
Skin Rejuvenation & Spot Fat Reduction
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a customized blend of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and other active ingredients into the mesoderm. Common uses include:
- Skin Rejuvenation: Improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
- Spot Fat Reduction: Targets localized fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or double chin.
Mechanism, candidacy and side effects, can be found on the Mesotherapy page.

Frequently Asked Medspa Questions
Watch the line: a crease that appears when you frown, squint, or raise your brows is an expression line, treated with Botox; a fold or hollow visible with your face fully relaxed is volume loss, treated with a filler. Some faces benefit from both, which the consultation sorts out.
The doctor’s license matters more than the sign on the door. A physician-run medspa like Rapid Weight Loss & Esthetics Centers and dermatologist’s office both put a medical clinician behind the needle; many retail medspas do not.
Yes. The medspa and the weight-loss program share offices so Dr. Sattele already has your record on hand. You can even have a MedSpa treatment on the on the same day as your weight-loss visit
Dr. Kevin M. Sattele, MD, perfoms the injections. He is a board-certified internal medicine physician (American Board of Internal Medicine) with more than 20 years of clinical bariatric experience and an active South Carolina medical license (#18841, valid through 2027). If you are comparing MedSpas, ask who performs the injection and under what license; Dr. Sattele’s is published here by name and number.
A clinician reviews your medications, examines the areas that bother you, and names the treatment that fits, or says plainly if none does. Candidacy, common side effects, and the cost of your specific plan are covered before anything is booked. Doses are planned conservatively, so you still look like yourself; you can start small and add later; and most people are back to their day the same afternoon. Many injectable patients are first-timers, men included, and a visit here is a routine medical appointment, not a spa production.
Yes. Fast weight loss, on a GLP-1 medication or otherwise, can deflate the facial fat pads that support the cheeks, temples, midface, and jawline, leaving a hollowed looking face on a newly healthier body. Dr. Sattele watches a patient’s face change through their weight loss journey, month by month, context no outside MedSpa has; how dermal fillers restore facial volume after weight loss is covered in full on the filler page.
Apply Latisse to the base of your upper lashes once a day, usually at night, using a sterile applicator.
Initial results can appear within 4 weeks, with full results visible at 12 to 16 weeks..
Your eyelashes will gradually return to their original length and thickness.
