5 Top Anti-Aging Med Spa Treatments
Posted on April 24, 2024 | by Boston Plastic Surgery
Aging is an inevitable part of life, but how we age is a choice! Our med spa offers safe and effective anti-aging treatments—from Botox® injections to chemical peels—that can help you maintain a timeless, natural look. Here, we share the top 5 treatments that have us believing that age is actually just a number.
Injectable Botox & fillers
Botox and dermal fillers are go-to non-surgical anti-aging treatments to quickly and effectively remedy the signs of aging. Neuromodulators like Botox® and Dysport® are injected into specific muscles to temporarily relax dynamic contractions that cause lines and creases in the skin, such as crow’s feet and horizontal forehead lines. Dermal fillers like Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®, on the other hand, work to turn back time by immediately adding or restoring lost volume, smoothing out static wrinkles, and enhancing facial contours.
How they combat aging
Together, Botox and fillers address the two fundamental factors that age the skin: muscle movement and volume loss. By targeting these areas, they help reduce existing signs of aging but also prevent or delay new ones from forming for long-lasting, youthful firmness and vitality.
Chemical peels
As the skin matures, the natural exfoliation process slows down, leading to a buildup of dead cells that can dull and age your complexion. Chemical peels are carefully formulated solutions that remove the outermost layers of skin to reveal the fresher, younger-looking skin beneath and stimulate collagen production for lasting anti-aging benefits.
How do they target aging?
By removing the damaged outer layers, peels not only improve the appearance of aging skin—they also accelerate cell renewal, which stimulates collagen production for structurally firmer skin. They can be customized with ingredients that target a wide range of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to age spots and uneven texture. Additionally, peels enhance the efficacy of other anti-aging methods by allowing optimal product absorption and treatment penetration.
At the Skin Wellness Center within Boston Plastic Surgery, we offer fully customized chemical peels, including lactic, glycolic, and VI Peels.

Vivace™ RF Microneedling
Vivace RF microneedling combines the collagen-inducing effects of traditional microneedling with the skin-tightening benefits of radiofrequency (RF) energy. This 2-in-1 treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the body’s natural healing process, while RF energy safely heats the deeper layers to produce more collagen and elastin.
The anti-aging benefits
RF microneedling excels in promoting collagen and elastin production, key components for maintaining youthful skin elasticity and firmness. It addresses a range of concerns like fine lines, mild skin laxity, and textural issues for a comprehensive solution to aging with minimal downtime and maximum impact.
Laser skin resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing stands as the frontrunner for anti-aging solutions. With several modalities to choose from, laser therapy improves both surface-level signs of aging (like age spots, sun damage, and rough skin texture) and deeper ones (like lines and wrinkles). These treatments also increase collagen proteins to support long-term skin firmness.
Aging, meet your match
The beauty of laser resurfacing lies in its ability to stimulate deep cellular renewal. As the skin heals, it helps correct the most telltale signs of aging, becoming tighter, more even-toned, and visibly rejuvenated. Laser treatments also feature customizable intensity levels to suit every need across any age range.
Some of our most popular anti-aging laser treatments include CoolPeel®, Elluminate laser rejuvenation, and IPL photofacial.
Anti-aging medical-grade skincare
At the heart of any effective anti-aging regimen are high-quality, medical-grade skincare products curated to suit your skin type and needs. Physician-only skincare is formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter options, providing stronger, faster anti-aging results. From retinoids to antioxidants, these products work synergistically to repair, protect, and rejuvenate the skin on a cellular level.
Skincare as a foundation for youth
Professional skincare serves as your daily defense against signs of aging, treating visible signs of aging and delaying the emergence of new aging concerns. Plus, using higher-quality products can significantly enhance the results of in-office treatments for more anti-aging support that keeps your skin looking its best day after day.
