Q&A
Question: Does Malana Medical Spa provide any surgical cosmetic treatment?
Answer: No, all of our treatments at Malana Medical Spa are non-surgical. Our treatments include laser treatments, photofacials, fractional ablative skin resurfacing, Botox, dermal fillers, Cosmelan masks and European facials.
Question: Will my treatment cause any down time?
Answer: Most of our treatments such as IPL laser, Botox and Dermal fillers cause no undesirable visible changes in the skin. You can resume normal activities immediately after these procedures and no one will notice anything except your enhanced beauty! Treatments such as the Pixel laser can cause redness or peeling of the skin for several days after the procedure, but can offer the most dramatic results for conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles and poor skin tone and texture.
Question: Will my treatment hurt?
Answer: Some of our cosmetic procedures can cause minor discomfort. However, Malana Medical Spa utilizes several methods of pain control including topical anesthetic, skin cooling and nerve blocks. Our anesthetic treatments can completely eliminate any discomfort you may experience from our procedures.
Question: Are the treatments safe?
Answer: At Malana Medical Spa, your safety is our top priority. All of our staff has had comprehensive, physician-supervised training. We use only the most technologically-advanced equipment and latest techniques. We only perform treatments that we feel are completely safe and effective.
Question: What if I cannot afford my treatment?
Answer: We have financing available for all of our clients. We can custom-design a payment plan to fit your needs.
Question: Does Malana Medical Spa treat men?
Answer: Yes. More and more men are getting cosmetic treatments for conditions such as hair removal, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne-related conditions.
