Hello Beauties!

At Ananya Aesthetics, our commitment goes beyond just providing outstanding treatments; we strive to offer a transformative experience that enhances not only your appearance but also your confidence and overall well-being. We believe the true value of our advanced microneedling procedures lies in the profound impact they have on our patients' lives. Many of our clients report not only visible improvements in their skin but also a significant boost in confidence and happiness. The emotional uplift from these treatments is often just as powerful as the aesthetic benefits. Microneedling is a versatile and highly effective treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns, from facial rejuvenation and scarring to stretch marks and pigmentation disorders. Suitable for all skin types, our microneedling treatments at Ananya Aesthetics are carefully designed to deliver exceptional results in a safe and luxurious environment. When to Choose Microneedling Ideal for anyone looking to address signs of aging, improve skin texture, or reduce the appearance of scars, microneedling is an excellent choice for those seeking minimally invasive treatments with effective results and minimal downtime. Beyond its targeted benefits, microneedling is also great for overall skin health, helping to build collagen reserves and maintain a youthful, vibrant complexion. Once your skin is properly prepared and any active issues like acne are managed, microneedling can be incredibly effective in achieving your desired aesthetic goals, making it a beneficial treatment for nearly everyone. Preparatory Treatments for Microneedling Candidates Not everyone is an immediate candidate for microneedling, especially those with active breakouts or severe acne. Performing microneedling on active acne can spread bacteria and worsen the condition. For these individuals, we recommend preparatory treatments that can help clear the skin and prepare it for the benefits of microneedling like Laser Treatments and Cortisone Injections. For clients dealing with active breakouts, our Confidence Laser can be an effective way to reduce inflammation and manage acne. Additionally, cortisone injections are used to rapidly reduce inflammation in specific acne cysts, making them less likely to cause scarring and faster to heal. These interventions are crucial in managing acute skin issues and preparing the skin for the regenerative effects of microneedling. While microneedling is a beneficial treatment for many, it is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with a history of keloid scarring, those who have used Accutane within the last six months, or anyone with active infections, open wounds, or significant autoimmune diseases in the treatment area should avoid this procedure. Additionally, microneedling is not recommended for clients with bleeding disorders, those on chronic anticoagulant therapy, anyone with immunosuppressive diseases, or those on immunosuppressant medications. It is also not advisable for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Our Signature Microneedling Treatments
What Areas Can Be Treated? Our microneedling procedures are not limited to the face; they can be effectively used on any area of the body that requires attention. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their overall skin appearance and health. Treatment Experience and Downtime To ensure comfort, a topical anesthetic is typically applied before the treatment. Most of our clients report feeling minimal discomfort during the procedure and describe the experience as virtually pain-free. The downtime associated with microneedling is minimal. While clients may notice redness for about 12 to 48 hours following the treatment, this is generally the extent of the recovery period. Depending on the intensity of the treatment, some clients may experience minor scabbing, which is part of the natural healing process. Expected Results Improvements can often be seen after just the first or second treatment, with more significant results becoming apparent after 4 to 6 sessions. We recommend these sessions be spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and respond to the treatment effectively. It’s important to remember that collagen remodeling is a gradual process, and your skin will continue to improve over the next 6 after your last treatment in the series with a proper skincare regimen. Results can vary from one individual to another based on several factors including skin type, age, and the specific skin issue being addressed. By understanding these guidelines and pre-treatment considerations, you can better prepare for your microneedling sessions and ensure that you are a suitable candidate for this transformative procedure. At Ananya Aesthetics, we're dedicated to providing you with a premium experience that not only enhances your beauty but also builds your confidence through visible, lasting results. Ready to begin your journey to rejuvenated skin? Contact us today to schedule your consultation, and let's discuss how microneedling can be tailored to meet your unique skin care needs.

Summer is a season we eagerly anticipate all year long. The thought of sunny days, beach outings, and warm evenings fills us with excitement. But when summer finally arrives, it often brings a mix of joy and anxiety. Many of us start worrying about sun exposure, sweating, breakouts, and our overall appearance in summer outfits. At Ananya Aesthetics, we understand these concerns and are here to help you enjoy the summer you dream of, free from worries about your skin and body.
The Sun: Friend or Foe? We all love the sun's warm embrace, but it can also be a source of stress. Sunburns, heat rash, and hyperpigmentation are just a few of the issues that come with unprotected sun exposure. Premature aging, such as wrinkles and sagging skin, can be accelerated by the sun, and conditions like melasma can flare up, leaving you feeling self-conscious. Not to mention, the risk of skin cancer and the suppression of the skin's immune response. Imagine a summer where you don’t have to worry about these effects. Our Hydrating Clear Perfection Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ is your perfect companion. This FDA-approved sunscreen is effective on all skin types and leaves no white cast on melanin-rich skin. It's your first line of defense against the sun’s harmful rays, ensuring your skin stays protected and hydrated all summer long. And don’t forget, reapplying your sunscreen and wearing a wide-brim hat can add extra layers of protection. Sweating: More Than Just a Nuisance As temperatures rise, so does our level of sweat. For some, this can be more than just an inconvenience. Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can disrupt your comfort and confidence, affecting areas like your underarms, face, palms, and feet. It's a common issue, but it doesn't have to ruin your summer. Imagine stepping into a hot summer day without worrying about sweat stains or discomfort. Our Botox treatments target overactive sweat glands, providing relief from hyperhidrosis. Within two weeks of treatment, you'll notice a significant reduction in sweating, with results lasting up to six months. With Botox, you can stay fresh and confident, no matter how high the temperatures rise. Breakouts: Battling Summer Acne Sweating can trap bacteria and clog pores, leading to breakouts. This type of acne can be particularly frustrating, appearing just when you want your skin to look its best. Our Confidence Laser treatments are designed to combat the bacteria caused by sweating, helping to clear your skin effectively. These treatments are safe year-round and are our leading service. Combined with our medical-grade skincare line, they ensure that your skin remains healthy and clear even during the hottest months. Say goodbye to the frustration of summer breakouts and hello to a complexion that radiates confidence. The Hassle of Shaving Summer outfits often mean more skin exposure, which brings the daily hassle of shaving. Razor burns, nicks, and the constant need to keep your skin smooth can be a real burden. Imagine a summer without the constant need to shave. With our laser hair removal treatments, you can enjoy smooth skin without the daily hassle. Start your day stress-free, knowing that you won’t have to worry about unwanted hair or shaving irritation. Body Image: Feeling Your Best The pressure to look good in summer attire can affect our confidence. Concerns about body weight and appearance in swimsuits can dampen the joy of the season. Additionally, summer is full of events like graduations, weddings, baby showers, family vacations, and holidays, where we all want to look our best. At Ananya Aesthetics, we offer an advanced weight loss program designed to help you shed those stubborn pounds. We take a holistic approach, examining your body as a whole to identify potential barriers to effective weight loss.

Let us help you achieve the summer you’ve always dreamed of, free from worries about sun damage, sweating, breakouts, or unwanted hair. Book your appointment today and embrace the summer with confidence. Protect your skin, manage your weight, and feel your best this season with Ananya Aesthetics. In a world that often presents challenges to expressing one's true self, finding spaces that offer support, understanding, and solutions is invaluable. The journey towards self-affirmation for transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals is deeply personal and unique. At our clinic, we are committed to providing gender-affirming aesthetic treatments that cater to the diverse needs of our LGBTQIAP+ patients. Our goal is not just to transform appearances but to nurture confidence and a sense of belonging. Here, we highlight our comprehensive approach to male-to-female feminization, female-to-male masculinization, combating HRT side effects, and non-binary aesthetic care, detailing the technicalities of each treatment. Male to Female Feminization: Celebrating Femininity For our male-to-female transgender patients, the path to femininity often involves softening traditionally masculine features. Botox injections to the neck and masseters are a key offering, effectively slimming the jawline and narrowing the neck by relaxing the muscles responsible for chewing and the platysma bands. This treatment, which results are visible within 1-2 weeks and last for 3-6 months, gently and naturally enhances feminine features with minimal downtime. Female to Male Masculinization: Accentuating Masculinity Transitioning from female to male involves emphasizing features that are traditionally perceived as masculine. Jawline and temple fillers, made from substances like hyaluronic acid, are injected to create more pronounced and defined facial structures within the appropriate angle structure. This immediate improvement in facial contours contributes to a more masculine appearance and lasts from 6 to 18 months, helping individuals align their external appearance with their internal sense of self. Combating HRT Side Effects: Restoring Confidence Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a cornerstone in many transgender individuals' transition processes but can come with side effects such as acne, hair loss, and weight gain. We address these concerns with cutting-edge treatments:
Non-Binary Aesthetic Care: Embracing Your Unique Self Our commitment to non-binary patients focuses on creating a treatment plan that reflects your unique identity. Whether it's through subtle enhancements or more pronounced changes, our goal is to support you in expressing your true self. We understand the importance of a judge-free environment and tailor treatments to make you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. Creating a Sense of Belonging At our clinic, we believe in the power of acceptance and the importance of feeling seen. Our gender-affirming aesthetic treatments are designed with the utmost care, respect, and sensitivity to the needs of our LGBTQIA+ patients. From the technical aspects of Botox and fillers to the innovative approaches of laser therapy and PRF hair restoration, every procedure is an affirmation of your identity, an expression of your true self, and a step towards the person you know yourself to be. In embracing your journey, our treatments are more than just procedures; they are steps towards realizing the beauty of your authentic self. Let us be a part of your journey towards self-discovery and affirmation, where every treatment is a milestone in the celebration of your true identity.  Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Let us be part of your celebration, crafting not just a look but also an experience that instills lasting confidence.  Navigating the journey to maintain youthful, radiant eyes can often feel daunting as the signs of aging—wrinkles, dark circles, and under-eye bags—begin to emerge. These visual markers not only affect your appearance but can also cast a shadow on your inner vibrancy and spirit. Dark circles, with their varying shades of purple, blue, brown, or black, often tell stories of fatigue and sleepless nights. Though they are seldom a health concern, the desire to diminish their appearance is a common pursuit for many, driven by the quest for a brighter, more youthful look. These signs of weariness stem from a myriad of sources: dilated blood vessels, overproduction of melanin, age related factors, or a blend of these with lifestyle and genetic factors. The outcome? A tired look, characterized not just by dark circles but accompanied by low-lying eyelids, the texture of crepey skin, the emergence of crow's feet, and noticeable puffiness. At Ananya Aesthetics Medspa, we understand these challenges deeply. That is why we have meticulously developed three targeted treatments, each designed to rejuvenate a specific area around the eyes—ensuring comprehensive rejuvenation and the restoration of your youthful glow. Our commitment is to guide you through this journey, offering solutions that address these signs of aging and fatigue with precision, providing you with a refreshed and vibrant look that reflects your inner vitality. Periocular Peel: Specifically for the Overproduction of melanin on the upper and lower eyelid. The Periocular Peel is a specialized chemical peel designed for the delicate skin around the eyes. This treatment uses a carefully selected blend of acids that gently exfoliate the top layers of skin, removing damaged cells and promoting the regeneration of new, healthy skin. The peel specifically targets the periorbital area, addressing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles. Benefits:
Oligio Laser: Targeting the Area Around the Eye. The Oligio Laser employs advanced radio frequency technology to heat the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface. This controlled heating stimulates the body's natural collagen production process, leading to the tightening and lifting of the skin. The treatment is particularly effective for targeting the fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, including crow's feet and smile lines. Benefits:
The Confidence Laser: Targeting the Area Around the EyeThe Confidence Laser works targeting three different potential concerns when it comes to rejuvenating the area around the eyes. It targets the water in the skin to create a controlled injury leading to collagen stimulation for thicker, tighter skin. It targets the overproduction of melanin within the skin. And it targets the blood vessels causing them to shrink and reduce their appearance. Benefits:
Dermal Filler: Focused Under the Eye. Dermal filler in the form of hyaluronic acid offers a solution to dark circles due to volume depletion. It is placed strategically under the eye and can help treat hollowness with no protruding bags. Benefits:
PRF EZ Gel Under Eye Filler: Focused Under the Eye, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) EZ Gel Under Eye Filler is an innovative approach that utilizes the patient's own blood to create a natural filler. A small blood sample is taken and processed to separate the plasma, platelets, and fibrin, which is then converted into a gel-like substance through a controlled process. This gel is rich in growth factors and white blood cells, promoting natural healing and rejuvenation when injected into the under-eye area. Benefits:
Carboxy Therapy: Targeting the Area Around the Eye. Carboxy Therapy utilizes the Bohr Principle. Basically, an increase of carbon dioxide forces the body to rush oxygen rich blood to the area. By doing this it also promotes blood circulation and increased hydration. Benefits:
Comprehensive Eye Rejuvenation at Ananya Aesthetics Medspa At Ananya Aesthetics, we are dedicated to offering targeted, effective solutions for every part of the eye area. Understanding the unique challenges posed by various influences around the eyes, we have curated treatments that address each specific concern: the Periocular Peel for overproduction of pigment around the eye, the Oligio Laser for tightening the area around the eye, dermal filler or PRF EZ Gel for the area under the Eye, and finally, The Confidence Laser and Carboxy Therapy to treat the area around the eye including the pigmentation caused by dilated blood vessels. Embrace the opportunity to rejuvenate your eyes comprehensively, reflecting your inner youth and vitality. Discover the difference with Ananya Aesthetics and unlock the secrets to youthful eyes today.  In today's world, where self-care and beauty treatments are more accessible than ever, many individuals have embraced non-invasive procedures like dermal fillers to enhance their appearance. Dermal fillers, often used to plump lips, balance facial features, and restore youthful volume to the face, have gained immense popularity in recent years. As a dedicated provider in the field of aesthetic medicine, I have witnessed the transformative power of fillers. However, there’s a lesser-known side to them that can occur with improper use that deserves attention: a phenomenon known as “filler fatigue.” Filler fatigue occurs when repeated filler applications over time paradoxically begin to age the face rather than rejuvenate it. This counterintuitive effect stems from an over-reliance on fillers at the expense of more holistic skincare and treatment strategies. Understanding Filler Fatigue Fillers are designed to combat the signs of aging by filling in wrinkles and adding volume to facial features. They are an effective short-term solution but can lead to unintended consequences when used excessively. Over time, the quest to maintain a youthful appearance can lead to a cycle of dependency on fillers. This overuse can actually contribute to a phenomenon known as superficial fat pad atrophy, where the natural fat in the face diminishes, ironically chasing the very problem fillers are meant to solve. The Consequences of Overuse One of the most striking signs of filler fatigue is a change in the facial texture and appearance, shifting from a fresh and bright look to one that is almost 'doughy'. This is a direct consequence of the fillers stretching the skin and potentially affecting the natural fat pads underneath, leading to an unnatural appearance. Other signs include but are not limited to sunset eyes, trout pout or sausage lips, flowerhorn fish forehead, a broad nose, and witch’s chin. Instead of enhancing beauty, excessive filler use can detract from it, emphasizing the importance of moderation and a balanced approach to facial aesthetics. A Holistic Approach to Combat Filler Fatigue To avoid filler fatigue, it's crucial to adopt a more holistic approach to skincare and aging. This includes:
Embracing Aging Gracefully While the allure of an instant fix is strong, the key to a truly youthful appearance lies in a balanced, comprehensive approach to skincare and aesthetic treatments. By focusing on the health of your skin and adopting a more conservative approach to fillers, you can avoid the pitfalls of filler fatigue and embrace aging gracefully. In conclusion, fillers are a powerful tool in the fight against aging, but they are not a one-size-fits-all solution. As we strive for beauty, let's not forget the importance of moderation, the value of a holistic approach, and the beauty of aging gracefully.  As we welcome a new year, it is fascinating to see how the skincare landscape evolves. 2023 brought us a plethora of trends, some of which we are ready to leave behind as we embrace more innovative and safer alternatives in 2024. Last year, PDO Threads gained popularity for their promise of a non-surgical lift. However, we have learned that they can be more harmful than beneficial, especially to deep tissue. Thankfully, there have been many advancements in minimally invasive aesthetic treatments that achieve similar results without the risks. Another trend we are moving away from is CoolSculpting. The procedure's potential side effect, paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), has raised concerns. PAH leads to the expansion of fat cells, contrary to the desired outcome, and often requires surgical intervention. Additionally, results are not always consistent or predictable. The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) trend also raises red flags. Despite its allure, BBL's alarming mortality rates, reported as high as 1 in 3,000 patients in some studies, make it a procedure we cannot in good conscience recommend. The risks are simply too high for a cosmetic enhancement. Liquid Nose Jobs, appealing for those desiring non-surgical nose enhancement, carry inherent risks, and aesthetically displeasing results. The procedure location is an area known as high risk for vascular occlusions and severe complications such as vision loss make this a trend best avoided. Furthermore it is only a matter of time before the filler causes the appearance of widening of the nose. Finally, the Russian Lips technique, known for its immediate volumizing effect, has been observed to cause filler migration over time, leading to the undesired 'duck lips' appearance. This side effect has prompted a shift towards more reliable and safer lip enhancement methods. As we say goodbye to these trends, 2024 welcomes exciting and safer alternatives. Oligio skin tightening, a cutting-edge technique from South Korea, uses radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production in the skin. It offers immediate lifting effects and continues to improve skin elasticity over the following months, making it a fantastic option for those seeking non-invasive treatments. In the realm of fillers, Ananya Aesthetics is proud to introduce the revolutionary Platelet Rich Fibrin Gel (PRF Gel), a completely natural filler derived from the patient's own blood. This innovative approach not only avoids the use of synthetic substances but also harnesses the body's natural healing capabilities, offering a rejuvenated appearance without the same degree of risks associated with traditional fillers. Moreover, we are continuing to emphasize the importance of regular Botox and laser treatments. These long-standing, reliable methods help maintain youthful skin and prevent the formation of deep lines and wrinkles, ensuring long-term, natural-looking results. Lastly, the CO2 Lift Pro Carboxytherapy Treatment Mask by Lumisque is set to be a game-changer in the skincare routine. This innovative treatment is a gentle yet effective way to restore your skin's natural glow. Suitable for all skin types, it reduces dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, enhancing the skin's hydration and overall appearance. As we navigate these changes, it's clear that the focus in 2024 is on natural, effective, and safe skin care practices. It's an exciting time for skincare enthusiasts and professionals alike as we explore these new horizons and say hello to a radiant and healthy new year! By Dr. Samantha Lucero-Daga, CEO and Aesthetic DNP at Ananya Aesthetics  I am Samantha Lucero, DNP, aka “Dr. Sam” the passionate leader and innovator behind Ananya Aesthetics and Skin Integrity Skincare. As a woman steering a revolutionary brand in the aesthetic medicine arena, I have dedicated my life to understanding and protecting the largest organ we have - our skin. Today, let's debunk a common myth: that sunscreen is only for summer. Spoiler alert: it's not! The Sun's Year-Round Threat Let's face it: the sun does not pause its effects during the winter. Even on those gray, seemingly harmless days, the sun's UV rays are working overtime. They sneak through clouds and windows, subtly yet significantly impacting your skin. That’s why I firmly believe in making sunscreen an essential part of your daily beauty routine, regardless of the weather or season. The Risks of UV Exposure It's more than just avoiding a sunburn. Consistent exposure to UV rays is a major factor in skin cancer. But that's not all – these rays are the hidden culprits behind early signs of aging (think wrinkles and loss of elasticity), uneven skin tones, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and aggravating sensitive skin conditions. In short, they're the uninvited guests at the party that is your skin. Why Skin Integrity Skincare's Sunscreen Stands Out At Skin Integrity Skincare, we don't just produce products; we craft solutions for skin wellness. Our star product, Clear Perfection Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+, reflects our dedication to providing skin health solutions for everyone.This exceptional sunscreen is expertly crafted to blend seamlessly into all skin tones without leaving any white cast, making it an ideal choice for people of color. In addition, we proudly introduce our Tinted Sunscreen, a product that's just as effective, if not more so, due to the inclusion of iron oxides. These mineral particles block not only UV light but also visible or blue light emitted from laptops and phone screens. It offers coverage akin to a BB or CC cream, making it perfect for those no-makeup days or as a glowing base under foundation. Complementing our premier offering is the Sunscreen Mist, a versatile SPF 50+ formulation enriched with rose water and antioxidants. It's not just a sunscreen; it's a refreshing makeup setting mist, a skin rejuvenator, and an eco-friendly choice with its reef-friendly and water-resistant properties. Its lightweight texture makes it perfect for both face and body, offering protection without heaviness. Rounding out our sun care is the SPF 30 Sunscreen Stick. Designed for ease of use and portability, this stick is perfect for quick applications on both face and body. It's complete physical formulation offers superior sun protection with a non-greasy finish. The invigorating vanilla scent uplifts your senses, making sun protection a luxurious and enjoyable part of your daily routine. Conclusion To wrap up, sun protection is an all-year commitment, an investment in maintaining your skin's health and youthfulness. Choosing our Sunscreen means more than just applying a product; it's an act of self-love and care. Remember, the sun doesn't take a winter break, and your skin deserves continuous protection. Stay glowing, stay shielded, and shine brilliantly all year round. Dr. Samantha Lucero, DNP Founder & CEO, Ananya Aesthetics & Skin Integrity Skincare Welcome to "Skincare Myths Busted: Filler Makes You Look Unnatural." Welcome to a journey where we unravel the realities of aesthetic treatments, with a special focus on fillers. As an expert deeply immersed in the world of aesthetics, I have witnessed the remarkable transformations that correctly administered fillers can achieve. My mission is clear: to challenge and overturn the misconception that fillers always result in an artificial appearance. Ready to explore the truth? Let’s get started! The Art of Subtlety in Fillers If someone you know looks overfilled, don’t be so quick to blame the product. More often than not, unnatural looking fillers are a result of client preferences and/or inexperienced injectors. At Ananya Aesthetics, our approach to fillers is to NEVER use too much product, even if a client wants dramatic results. For clients who want more dramatic results, we add smaller amounts of filler over multiple appointments to create a much more natural look. An overfilled look can also happen if an injector struggles with their placement or chooses the wrong product for your desired treatment area. Understanding the Truth Behind Filler Misconceptions It's crucial to acknowledge that there is a grain of truth in the perception that fillers can make you look unnatural. If too much filler is placed, or it is put in the wrong location it certainly can give an undesirable effect. However, this is where the expertise of a skilled injector comes into play. The secret lies in understanding facial anatomy as well as the art of subtlety and balance Balancing Reality with Expectations It's important for industry professionals to recognize the truth in some client apprehensions: excessive or misplaced filler can indeed look unnatural. This understanding should guide our practices. As professionals, we must master the art of subtlety, balancing the client's desires with what is realistically achievable and aesthetically pleasing. Our Philosophy: Enhancing, Not Overpowering At Ananya, we believe that less is often more. Our philosophy centers around enhancing your natural features, not overpowering them. We meticulously assess your facial structure, discussing your aesthetic goals while guiding you towards the most flattering and natural-looking outcomes. Our approach is simple: if I can't see the 'problem' you're addressing from a few steps back, I'm not 'fixing' it. This means avoiding treatments that make you look puffy, overly angular, or unlike yourself. Commitment to Natural Beauty Our commitment is to uphold the natural beauty and individuality of each client. We achieve this by using the highest quality products, state-of-the-art techniques, and a tailored approach to each treatment. You are unique, and your treatment should be too. We ensure that each procedure is a step towards enhancing your natural beauty, not altering it beyond recognition. Educating and Empowering Clients Education is power. We prioritize educating our clients about what fillers can and cannot do. It's about setting realistic expectations and understanding the process. By knowing what to expect, you become an empowered participant in your aesthetic journey. Conclusion: Embracing a Balanced Approach In conclusion, the myth that fillers inevitably lead to an unnatural appearance is just that - a myth. It's about the artistry, skill, and approach of the injector. At Ananya Aesthetics, we are dedicated to providing treatments that honor your natural beauty while addressing your concerns. We invite you to join us in this journey of discovering the true potential of aesthetic treatments - where enhancement meets natural elegance. Remember, the goal is not to change how you look but to refresh and accentuate the beauty that's inherently yours. Dr. Samantha Lucero, DNP Founder & CEO, Ananya Aesthetics & Skin Integrity Skincare  Dermal fillers have a complex image in both the media and real life, often shaped by various factors, including the portrayal of celebrities who have had extensive procedures. And sadly, terms like “pillow face” have become synonymous with filler injections. As a result, there has been a shift for people looking for more “natural fillers” that stimulate the body’s own collagen production. This has given birth to a new area within aesthetic medicine- welcome to the future: sustainable aesthetic treatments. One sustainable aesthetic treatment is Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) Gel. PRF Gel is a natural and revolutionary addition to sustainable aesthetic medicine. Let’s dive deeper into what it is, how it works, and why it’s making waves in the world of minimally invasive aesthetic medicine. PRF Gel also known as Plasma Gel is an avant-garde filler-gel. What makes it stand out is its creation process, which relies exclusively on the organic components of your own blood. Imagine the unparalleled power of your body’s serum albumin and growth factors coming together to invigorate skin rejuvenation and volume enhancement. No artificial components, just nature at its best. Making the Choice for PRF Gel Why should PRF Gel be your go-to treatment? Here’s the irresistible trio that makes it the preferred option:
A Peek into the Process The magic behind PRF Gel is simple yet revolutionary:
Envisioning the Results The viscous plasma gel gives an immediate volumetric filling effect that lasts for months. However, like all valuable endeavors, achieving the full potential of PRF Gel beneath the skin requires patience, typically unfolding its true magic over the course of 3-4 months. The gel serves to localize both activated platelets and their pre-synthesized growth factors in the treated area. The platelets in the gel continue to synthesize and release bioactive growth factors after injection. These growth factors promote new collagen growth, resulting in soft-tissue augmentation and reduction of wrinkles. And what’s even more exciting? These effects can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. To ensure these stellar results stand the test of time, maintenance treatments every 6-9 months come highly recommended. A Leap Forward at Ananya Aesthetics At Ananya Aesthetics, we continually strive to push the boundaries and delve into cutting-edge aesthetic and skin care treatments that prioritize safety and effectiveness. As both industry professionals and patients share a relentless appetite for discovering the latest treatment options, we proudly introduce PRF Gel as the epitome of sustainable aesthetic solutions, harmoniously blending the best of nature and science. And after extensive research and experimentation, the practitioners at Ananya Aesthetics elevate this treatment to an entirely new level through the application of an exclusive approach unique to our practice. This approach entails a specialized centrifugation and reconstitution of albumin and PRF, ensuring unparalleled results. Conclusion The quest for sustainable aesthetic treatments finds a formidable ally in PRF Gel. As we move forward, embracing treatments that harness our body's inherent capabilities represents a shift towards authenticity and effectiveness. For those seeking the latest in treatment options or an alternative to traditional dermal fillers, PRF Gel emerges as the gold standard. Natural, regenerative, and versatile – it’s the future we have all been waiting for. Join us at Ananya Aesthetics and be a part of this revolution.  Samantha Lucero-Daga, Aesthetic DNP
