Is a consultation mandatory?2021-06-29T19:38:07+00:00

Yes, all first-time appointments require a consultation prior to booking your treatment. The only exceptions are DiamondGlow and NuEra. This allows our MediZen team to meet with you and develop a personalized treatment plan.

If I cancel my consultation, is there a service charge/fee?2021-06-29T19:39:50+00:00

When you book your appointment, you are holding a space on our calendar that is no longer available to our other clients. In order to be respectful of your fellow patients, please call our concierge at 614-266-9922 as soon as you know you will not be able to make your appointment.

If cancellation is necessary, we require that you call at least 24 hrs in advance. Appointments are in high demand, and your advanced notice will allow another client access to that appointment time. While consultations are free, you may be charged a $99 cancellation/no-show fee if you provide less than 24 hours notice that you are unable to attend your appointment. We value your time and we ask that you value ours in return.

Here at MediZen, we do things a little bit differently. We take your journey with us seriously, and in order to provide you with the best possible outcomes, we believe in the power of a consultation. During these consultations, our world-renowned experts will have the opportunity to evaluate your unique anatomy, listen to your specific desires and review a treatment plan that will help you achieve the best version of yourself.

Dermal Filler

How does filler treatment work?2021-06-29T17:39:50+00:00

Injectable fillers work by placing the hyaluronic acid underneath the skin strategically to help optimize results by adding support and volume in areas of volume depletion due to the aging process.

Does it hurt when the filler is injected? Will there be bruising?2021-06-29T17:40:35+00:00

We attempt to make filler as painless as possible by utilizing multiple techniques (i.e., numbing cream and injectable numbing), when necessary. Our goal is to always have a painless procedure.

How long does filler last?2021-06-29T17:40:52+00:00

Filler metabolism differs from individual to individual. Fillers usually will last between 6-12 months depending on which area filler is placed. 

How long until I see my results from filler?2021-06-29T17:41:17+00:00

You will see the results of your filler immediately. It takes about two weeks to fully heal from injections, and therefore your results will be optimal by this time.

How should I prepare for a filler treatment?2021-06-29T17:41:46+00:00

In preparation for your filler treatment, attempt to avoid alcohol and NSAIDs (i.e., ibuprofen, etc.) as these may increase bruising.

What must I avoid after filler treatment?2021-06-29T17:42:12+00:00

Avoid exercise within 24 hours of being treated with filler, kissing (after lip filler), as well as massaging of the filler.

Botox

When will I see my Botox results?2021-06-29T17:37:55+00:00

Depending on the product, results of your Botox treatment may take anywhere from 3 to 7 days to kick in. All wrinkle relaxers should be in full effect by two weeks.

What should I avoid after my Botox treatment?2021-06-29T17:38:50+00:00

After your Botox treatment, we suggest that you avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Additionally, we suggest avoiding laying down or wearing a headband for 2 to 4 hours, and massaging the area injected.

What is the downtime for Botox?2021-06-29T17:38:23+00:00

There is no downtime for wrinkle relaxer treatments.

What are the most common areas treated with Botox?2021-06-29T17:35:44+00:00

The forehead, frown lines and crows feet are the most commonly treated areas for wrinkle relaxers. Other areas may be treated as well, such as the chin, “gummy smile” and upper lip to reveal more of the top lip when smiling.

How should I prepare for my Botox treatment?2021-06-29T17:39:21+00:00

We suggest that you avoid consuming alcohol and NSAIDs (i.e., ibuprofen, etc.) prior to your Botox treatment, as these may increase your risk of bruising. 

How long do Botox results last?2021-06-29T17:36:18+00:00

The results of Botox last 90 days.

Does Botox hurt?2021-06-29T17:36:59+00:00

Kybella

What is Kybella?2021-06-24T22:27:33+00:00

Kybella is an injectable that results in permanent fat removal!

What happens during a Kybella treatment?2021-06-29T17:32:06+00:00

During your Kybella treatment one of our trained injectors will utilize a needle and syringe to strategically place the fat removing enzyme into your subcutaneous fat tissue.

What can I expect from my Kybella treatment?2021-06-29T17:26:53+00:00

You may experience slight discomfort immediately after your Kybella treatment that subsides within about 5 minutes. You may be tender and swollen for 1-2 weeks, but will return back to baseline shortly thereafter. 

What are the pros and cons of Kybella?2021-06-29T17:32:56+00:00

The pros of Kybella are permanent fat removal.

The con of Kybella is downtime, which can last a while and can be uncomfortable. All clients should expect swelling in the treated area, with the swelling being most dramatic in the first 3 days after the first procedure.

Is Kybella safe?2021-06-24T22:38:25+00:00

There are always risks with any procedure, which is why we have highly qualified staff who inject with extreme caution and confidence.

How many Kybella treatments will I need?2021-06-29T17:33:27+00:00

The number of Kybella treatments vary by individual and area treated. On average it takes a minimum of 2 treatments to appreciate any results. Treatments are performed 4 to 8 weeks apart.

How long will my Kybella results last?2021-06-29T17:25:20+00:00

Kybella results are permanent. The improvement in the submental area is very long lasting and re-treatment is not expected.

Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling

What is the downtime for RF microneedling?2021-06-29T17:57:28+00:00

The downtime for RF microneedling is minimal. You may have redness for up to a week and the most intense redness will last only 24 hours. After 24 hours you will see significant improvement in the proceeding days.

What is the difference between regular microneedling and RF microneedling?2021-06-29T17:53:18+00:00

Regular microneedling utilizes controlled skin injury to generate collagen and elastin production. The addition of radio frequency allows for energy to be delivered into the dermis, further encouraging collagen growth and skin tightening.

Is RF microneedling safe?2021-06-29T17:56:37+00:00

Yes, RF microneedling is safe, as our staff conducts a thorough assessment to determine if there would be any contraindications prior to treatment.

How many treatments of RF microneedling will I need?2021-06-29T17:55:40+00:00

At MediZen we recommend a minimum of three treatments of RF microneedling.

How does RF microneedling work?2021-06-29T17:51:44+00:00

RF microneedling is a combination of radio frequency alongside controlled skin injury to help bring about collagen and elastin production to help with overall skin rejuvenation.

Am I a good candidate for RF microneedling?2021-06-29T17:54:30+00:00

A good candidate for RF microneedling would be anyone interested in skin rejuvenation, skin tightening or texture improvement.

What are the benefits of IPL Photofacial treatment?2021-06-29T19:57:07+00:00

The IPL Photofacial helps to even overall skin tone by reducing spots, uneven pigmentation, and reducing redness caused by rosacea. The IPL will also help to stimulate dermal collagen with additional treatments.

Is IPL Photofacial treatment painful?2021-06-29T19:54:24+00:00

Clients describe the feeling of the IPL pulse as a quick and gentle elastic band snap or short pinprick.

Is IPL Photofacial safe?2021-06-29T19:52:32+00:00

Laser Rejuvenation – Resurfx

How much downtime is there with Resurfx?2021-06-29T20:00:29+00:00

What are the pros and cons of Resurfx?2021-06-29T19:59:46+00:00

Pros:

  • Resurfx is a quick 15–30 minute procedure.
  • The Resurfx handpiece has a CoolScan scanner, which detects the temperature of the tissue to help prevent overheating and burns. It also offers continuous cooling, which makes the treatment more comfortable.  
  • Recovery from Resurfx is much shorter than most skin resurfacing lasers. 
  • Resurfx is able to treat all skin types. 

Cons:

  • Resurfx downtime post-procedure could result in potential discomfort and itchiness during the healing process.
  • We recommend a minimum of 3 treatments of Resurfx spaced apart about 6 weeks to ensure optimum results.
What is Resurfx?2021-06-29T19:58:09+00:00

Resurfx is a laser facial that brings about collagen and elastin production through controlled tissue injury. The collagen and elastin production will help to smooth out skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, minimize pores, improve skin laxity and also fade acne scars or stretch marks.

Body Contouring – NuEra

Who should not get NuEra Tight?2021-06-29T20:14:41+00:00

  • Pregnant women.
  • People with active infections.
  • People who are heat-sensitive.
  • Anyone with new piercings and tattoos.
  • In addition, tell us before treatment if you have any metal implants, pacemakers, or injectable fillers.

Lumenis NuEra Tight treatment is often described as a hot stone massage. The heat may be more intense at the beginning of the treatment, but lightens up very quickly after only a minute or two. The recovery process is extremely short. You may experience some redness for a few hours post-procedure, that fades very quickly.

What is Lumenis NuEra Tight?2023-06-23T19:28:16+00:00

Lumenis NuEra Tight is a treatment that helps to contour the body by destroying fat cells, reducing wrinkles and cellulite through the use of radiofrequency (RF) technology. Heat is transmitted to deeper layers of the skin helping to tighten through the production of collagen.

If you are looking for an aesthetic clinic or medspa that only has your best interest in mind, stop looking. MediZen is your one stop shop. Their art of fillers is unparalleled - it’s conservative and beautiful, they educate on small steps and actually talk you out unnecessary procedures, but will always have a clear logical treatment plan for you ready. I love that I do not have to know what procedure or filler I need - they always guide me what is best for me to achieve natural results without the risk of being overdone or anyone knowing I had anything done. Highly highly recommend!
