If you’re considering a med spa treatment for the first time, you’re likely wondering which options are best suited for beginners. To help you get started, the skincare experts at Ziba Medical Spa in Eugene share the top 5 treatments that are ideal for first-timers. They’ve chosen each of these treatments for its effectiveness, minimal discomfort, and little-to-no downtime, making them perfect introductions to the world of medical aesthetics.

Microdermabrasion: Reveal your brightest skin

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that uses a very fine abrasive to exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing the fresh, glowing skin beneath. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and improves the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, and other mild complexion problems. 

Microdermabrasion also promotes new collagen and elastin growth to give the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance. It’s an excellent alternative to a chemical peel for those who want to rejuvenate the skin with virtually no downtime.

Hydrafacial: A pampering skin refresh

A Hydrafacial is a perfect starter treatment to improve your skin’s health and appearance, delivering immediate results with zero downtime. This unique facial treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin using a serum-infused solution and a specialized suction device. The comfortable suction helps unclog the pores without traditional manual extractions, which typically cause some discomfort. 

We customize each Hydrafacial to suit your skin type and to address a variety of concerns, from dryness and dullness to acne and early signs of aging—all within a luxurious treatment experience. 

Microneedling: Boost collagen for broad-spectrum improvement

Microneedling is a fantastic option for first-timers looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and many other common skin concerns by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. The tiny needles create micro-punctures, which the body heals by increasing cell turnover and adding new layers of collagen beneath the skin’s surface. Most patients experience mild swelling and redness for about 24-48 hours and enjoy notable improvements in their skin’s health and appearance within just a few weeks. 

We also offer radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, which combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with RF energy, to treat deeper skin concerns or to enhance microneedling’s mild skin-tightening benefits for firmer, smoother skin.

“Dr. Movassaghi and his team are the best! So caring and kind. Dear Casey is truly wonderful. Looking forward to Micro-Needling next year!! 10 year loyal client…..procedures major and small. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!”

Botox: Smooth and prevent lines and creases

Even if you’re just making your medical spa debut, don’t be afraid of injectable neuromodulators like Botox®. Botox is one of the most popular and time-tested treatments for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. It works by temporarily relaxing specific muscles that cause expression-based lines and wrinkles. In the hands of an expert injector, Botox offers a refreshed, more youthful look that appears completely natural and still allows you to express yourself with ease. 

Botox treatments are personalized, and your injector will typically use a conservative approach for your first treatment. It takes about two weeks to see the full effects of Botox and results typically last 3 months—most people will not know you’ve had a treatment unless you tell them!

Dermal fillers: Restore volume and highlight your natural beauty

Dermal fillers are versatile injectable treatments that can restore lost volume, smooth out static wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. We use dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin and ideal for plumping and shaping thin lips, filling in shallow contours, softening facial creases, and improving the appearance of recessed scars. Whether you desire a subtle volume boost or a noticeable new look, dermal fillers provide immediate results and can be a great way to see quick improvements with no downtime.
