Our Medspa Services

Our medspa services are designed to rejuvenate, restore, and refine your natural features. Every treatment at our medical spas in Newport Beach & Pasadena is carefully curated to ensure subtle, lasting, and harmonious results.

dermal fillers

Restore volume, contour your features, and smooth fine lines with premium hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Whether enhancing lips, defining cheeks, or softening shadows, our injectors create harmonious results that restore youthful lift and hydration.

botox

Refresh your natural expression with Botox®, Dysport® or Daxxify®. These precise injectables smooth fine lines and soften dynamic wrinkles while maintaining your individuality. Each session is customized to create balance and subtle rejuvenation for a naturally rested look.

collagen stimulators

Rebuild your skin’s foundation with Sculptra®, PRP, or PRF. These treatments gradually stimulate collagen production to improve tone, texture, and elasticity for lasting rejuvenation that looks and feels completely natural.

glass skin boosters

Inspired by the luminous clarity of Korean beauty, our Glass Skin treatments with Rejuran® and SkinVive® infuse your skin with deep hydration and nutrients. The result is smooth, radiant, and translucent skin that reflects a healthy inner glow.

face & body rejuvenation

Face and body rejuvenation using non-surgical injectable treatments involves using fillers, collagen stimulators, and other advanced injectables to restore volume, smooth skin, and enhance contours without surgery.

prp & prf

Restore volume, contour your features, and smooth fine lines with premium hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Whether enhancing lips, defining cheeks, or softening shadows, our injectors create harmonious results that restore youthful lift and hydration.

non-surgical bbl

Lift and shape naturally with Sculptra® BBL. This innovative treatment enhances volume and firmness over time through collagen stimulation, creating a contoured, youthful silhouette without surgery.

hair restoration

Encourage fuller, thicker hair with PRP and PRF hair restoration therapy. Using your body’s own growth factors, these regenerative treatments awaken dormant follicles and improve scalp health for visibly stronger, healthier hair.

microneedling

Microneedling activates your skin’s natural healing process to encourage new collagen and elastin formation. It helps minimize pores, refine texture, and create a smoother, more even complexion with minimal downtime.

cosmelan peel

Cosmelan works deep within the skin to target stubborn hyperpigmentation, including melasma, sun spots, age spots, and post-inflammatory marks. By inhibiting excess melanin production, it helps reduce dark spots and discoloration, leaving your skin smoother, radiant, and glowing.

Juvelook

Juvelook is a skin-first approach for clients who want natural-looking renewal without a “done” look. It’s a collagen biostimulator (not a traditional filler) designed to help rebuild structure over time for smoother texture, refined pores, and a healthy, hydrated glow.

Sculptra

Sculptra is designed to address that bigger change. Instead of simply filling lines, Sculptra works as a collagen biostimulator that helps rebuild your skin’s internal support system over time.

Ultrasound-guided injections

Ultrasound guidance means your injector can see key structures beneath the skin in real time – helping confirm depth, identify vascular pathways in higher-risk areas, and make more informed choices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Botox and dermal filler pricing depends on the amount of product needed and the areas being treated, not a one size fits all package.

Botox is typically priced per unit, while dermal fillers are priced per syringe. During your in-person consultation, your provider evaluates your facial structure and goals and explains exactly how many units or syringes are recommended.

You are given a clear total price before treatment begins, so you know what you will pay in advance.

Yes. Akari Med Spa focuses on natural facial enhancement, not exaggerated volume or frozen expressions.

Your injector designs a personalized plan based on your facial anatomy, proportions, and skin condition.
The goal is to soften lines, restore balance, and improve facial harmony while keeping your natural expressions and features.

If a request would create an unnatural result, your provider will guide you toward a more appropriate approach.

Results depend on the treatment type.

Botox typically starts working within 3 to 5days, with full results visible in about 10 to 14 days.

Dermal fillers provide immediate improvement, although mild swelling can take several days to fully settle.

Collagen-stimulating treatments produce gradual improvement over several weeks and months as your body builds new collagen.

Your provider explains the exact timeline for your chosen treatment during your consultation.

Most injectable treatments at Akari Med Spa involve minimal downtime. After Botox or dermal fillers, you may experience:
  • Mild swelling
  • Light bruising
  • Tenderness at the injection sites
  • These effects usually resolve within a few days.
Microneedling commonly causes temporary redness that can last 24 to 48 hours.
Most clients return to work and daily activities the same day or the following day.

A personal consultation is required to determine candidacy.

Your provider reviews your medical history, current skin condition, facial structure, and aesthetic goals.

Not every treatment is appropriate for every person or concern.

If Botox, dermal fillers, or other facial rejuvenation treatments are not suitable for you, your provider will tell you honestly and recommend safer or more effective alternatives.

Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months.

Most dermal fillers last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the product used, the treatment area, and your individual metabolism.

Collagen-stimulating treatments can last longer, especially when supported with a maintenance plan.

Your provider will explain realistic longevity and how often follow-up treatments are usually needed.

Botox and dermal fillers are FDA cleared medical treatments when performed correctly by trained professionals.

All injectable treatments at Akari Med Spa are performed by licensed medical providers. Before treatment, you complete a medical screening and consultation to confirm safety and suitability.

The most common side effects are mild and temporary, such as swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection sites.

Yes, many clients achieve better results by combining treatments.

Botox can soften dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers can restore volume and contour, and microneedling can improve skin texture and tone.
When combined strategically, these treatments address different layers of facial aging and skin quality.

Your provider will design a customized treatment sequence so that treatments are either safely combined or properly spaced for the best outcome and recovery.
