The world of medical aesthetics is filled with catchy brand names and clinical-sounding procedures—Botox®, Alma TED, IPL, RF Microneedling, and more. While these treatments can deliver impressive results, the jargon can feel overwhelming if you’re new to med-spa services.
Below, we’ll break down some of the most common (and a few lesser-known) terms you’re likely to encounter, explain what each procedure actually does, and show how Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa pairs science-backed technology with expert care to help you choose wisely.
Injectable Treatments
Botox® and Neuromodulators
Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® fall under “neuromodulators.” They relax targeted facial muscles to soften expression lines like crow’s-feet or frown lines. Results typically last three to four months.
Dermal Fillers
Fillers (usually hyaluronic-acid based) restore lost volume in areas like cheeks, lips and under eyes. Depending on the product used, results can last from six months to two years. Colair’s injectors specialize in subtle, natural-looking enhancements.
Sculptra® Injections
Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra® stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production over time, providing a gradual and long-lasting solution for facial volume loss and deep wrinkles.
Kybella® Injections
Kybella® targets and permanently destroys submental fat cells—commonly known as a “double chin”—resulting in a more contoured jawline with no surgery required.
Hand Rejuvenation Fillers
Treatments like Restylane® Lyft restore volume to the hands, smoothing out visible veins and tendons for a more youthful appearance.
Non-Surgical Tightening & Lifting
PDO Thread Lift
A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical treatment that uses dissolvable threads inserted under the skin to lift and firm areas like the cheeks, jawline, and neck. It also stimulates collagen for long-term tightening effects.
Scarlet RF Microneedling
Scarlet RF Microneedling treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to boost collagen and elastin production. It improves skin firmness, texture, and reduces signs of aging with minimal downtime.
Skin Rejuvenation & Correction
IPL Photofacial/ClearLift
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) targets pigment and redness, making it ideal for treating sun damage, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone. ClearLift is a type of fractional laser that gently resurfaces the skin without downtime.
Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Fractional laser resurfacing treatment targets deeper skin layers to improve texture, reduce wrinkles, and fade scars. It’s often used for more advanced rejuvenation needs.
Lamprobe Treatment
Using radiofrequency energy, Lamprobe treats minor skin irregularities like skin tags, milia, and cherry angiomas quickly and effectively with minimal discomfort.
Hair Restoration Solutions
Alma TED
Alma TED is a needle-free, ultrasound-based treatment that delivers growth serums deep into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles. It’s comfortable, quick, and requires no downtime.
PRP Hair Restoration
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections use your body’s natural growth factors to strengthen thinning hair and promote new growth. A small blood sample is drawn, processed, and re-injected into the scalp.
GroTrack Hair Growth Monitoring
Colair uses GroTrack’s AI-powered scalp imaging to assess follicular density, pH levels, oil production, and more. This advanced tool helps our specialists design targeted hair restoration plans and track your progress over time.
Vitamin Therapy
Colair offers injectable vitamin therapy to support wellness from within. Whether you’re looking to boost energy, immunity, or skin health, vitamin injections deliver quick, efficient absorption of essential nutrients.
How to Choose the Right Treatment
At Colair, we start every journey with a jargon-free conversation. You share your goals (“I want brighter skin” or “I’m worried about thinning hair”), and our experts translate those into the safest, most effective treatment plan—whether that’s IPL for sun spots, Alma TED for hair restoration, or Sculptra® for natural volume.
Many technologies work even better together. For instance, vitamin therapy can complement laser or filler treatments by supporting internal healing. Colair specialists map out timing so treatments complement—not compete with—each other.
