Excited, but a little nervous. Does that sound familiar? Booking your first medical spa visit is an exciting step. You are ready to enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence, but you also aren’t quite sure what to expect.
You’re not the only one who feels that way. That’s why at Xage Med Spa in Utah, we want to ensure you feel completely at ease from the moment you walk through our doors. We’ll talk you through the most common treatments we offer, what you can expect before and after, and suggest some treatments you may want to try next!
Knowing what to expect will set your mind at ease and allow you to enjoy every moment of your first appointment. Here’s everything you need to know before your first trip to the medical spa.
What Happens at Your First Consultation?
Your first consultation is an opportunity for you to address any concerns with a qualified professional. We will complete an initial assessment of your suitability for treatment, skin type, and aesthetic goals. This helps us understand exactly what you hope to achieve.
During this conversation, we will also discuss your medical history and expectations. Our team then creates a personalized treatment plan tailored to you.
Injectables: What They Are and What to Expect
Overview
Injectables include neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, as well as dermal fillers like Restylane and Versa. These treatments smooth away wrinkles or restore lost volume without any invasive surgery.
Who They Are Good For
Perfect for anyone who struggles with fine lines or wants to strengthen their facial contours. At Xage Med Spa in Utah, our injectables provide fantastic non-surgical anti-aging results.
Before Your Visit
To minimize bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications, NSAIDs, and alcohol before your visit.
During and After Treatment
One of our swiftest treatments, injections are often completed in mere minutes. Our patients report feeling only a mild discomfort.
Downtime is minimal. Don’t panic if you experience mild swelling or redness. This is completely normal and subsides quickly. Bruising is a rare but also a common side effect.
Chemical Peels: Renew and Refresh Your Skin
Overview
Chemical peels are more than just a face scrub. We offer medical-grade peels that deeply exfoliate old skin cells. This promotes healthy cellular renewal and helps with dullness, discoloration, sun damage, and uneven texture.
Who They Are Good For
A chemical peel is perfect for those who want brighter, smoother, and healthier skin. If you’re dealing with uneven tone, fine lines & wrinkles, acne or mild pigmentation, then chemical peels can help.
Before Your Visit
Be gentle with your skin and avoid waxing or heavy exfoliation before your appointment. Stay out of the sun as much as possible before your treatment and avoid retinol use.
During and After Treatment
The sensation of each peel depends on the exact strength of the peel used.
From all chemical peels, you can expect temporary redness and light peeling afterward. After your treatment, use the products recommended by your provider, which will typically include a light moisturizer and daily sunscreen.
Microneedling: Collagen Boosting for Texture and Tone
Overview
Microneedling uses small needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This may sound counterintuitive; however, it is a highly effective process. It works by encouraging your body to increase its natural collagen and elastin production, improving texture, acne scarring, and overall elasticity.
Who It Is Good For
This procedure is a top choice for individuals seeking to address acne scars or the early signs of aging, making it a highly requested treatment at our medical spa.
Before Your Visit
Discontinue exfoliants and retinoids several days before your session. Avoid sun exposure in the days before you arrive.
During and After Treatment
You will feel a vibration sensation during the treatment, and session times will vary depending on the area being treated. Our prescription numbing ensures a truly painless experience. Temporary sensitivity will follow, so use gentle skincare products until your face is fully healed.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Improve Tone and Pigmentation
Overview
Intense Pulsed Light uses light energy to target stubborn pigmentation, redness, and sun damage. This treatment evens skin tone and brightens your complexion.
Who It Is Good For
IPL is ideal for targeting sun spots, freckles, vascular concerns, and general uneven skin tone.
Before Your Visit
Tanning and unprotected sun exposure before your visit may limit your treatment options.
During and After Treatment
During the procedure, you may notice a mild snapping or warming sensation. Following the treatment, temporary light sensitivity will occur, and you might see slight flaking of the treated pigment. Don’t skip out on sun protection afterward!
Skin Tightening: Lifting Without Surgery
Overview
Skin tightening treatments use radiofrequency, lasers, or microneedling with energy to promote deeper collagen production for firmer, tighter skin. This non-invasive lifting procedure is a popular treatment at Xage Medical Spa in Utah.
Who It Is Good For
This treatment is ideal for those experiencing skin laxity, as well as anyone looking to achieve a more youthful, brighter appearance.
Before Your Visit
Hydrate your skin well before your appointment and avoid any harsh topical treatments right before your session.
During and After Treatment
You will likely feel a pleasant warmth or gentle tightening sensation while the device is applied. The downtime is minimal, and results build over the following weeks as collagen forms.
Practical Tips Before Your First Visit
Preparation is key to getting the most from your visit. To ensure we can dedicate the entire session to your treatment, please arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. Thoroughly hydrate the day before and the day of your appointment.
We also recommend bringing a list of your current skincare products and medications. Do not hesitate to ask your medical spa provider about costs, expected session counts, or any specific limitations.
With these preparations complete, you can confidently enjoy your first visit.
What to Expect After Your Treatment
While some procedures provide immediate, highly visible results, others improve gradually over time. Mild redness, sensitivity, or light swelling can be completely normal depending on the service you choose.
