Facials
Facials are much more than just a beauty treatment; they’re a holistic experience that nurtures both the skin and the soul. These luxurious skincare rituals offer a moment of respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life, inviting you to relax, unwind, and indulge in self-care.
From deep cleansing and exfoliation to nourishing masks and soothing massages, facials are tailored to address your skin’s specific needs, whether it’s hydration, rejuvenation, or combating signs of aging. Beyond the physical benefits, facials also provide a mental and emotional boost, leaving you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to face the world with confidence. At MedSpa Raphael, our skilled aestheticians combine expertise with personalized care to deliver a facial experience that leaves you glowing from the inside out.
Laser Hair Removal
Unwanted or excessive hair growth can leave you feeling down and less-confident about your appearance, while ingrown hairs can cause a lot of pain and unsightly bumps. In the past, treatment for these issues was only effective for lighter skinned individuals with dark hair, but fortunately laser hair removal has become more accessible and advanced in recent years. At our practice, we are able to safely treat people with virtually all skin types and hair colors.
Lasers emit a specialized, pulsed light, which is absorbed by the pigment in your hair and then transmitted down the hair shaft to the root. The hair follicle is damaged by the heat of the laser, which prohibits future growth.
Before your procedure, we will evaluate your skin and hair type in order for us to select the best laser to suit your needs. We will also thoroughly discuss the possible risks, your expectations, and the best ways to prepare for treatment.
The duration of each session varies depending on what area of the body you are having treatment. A small area such as the upper lip may take only five minutes, while a larger area like the back or legs may take up to one hour. The area should be shaved or cut short prior to treatment. For best results, we recommend that you do not wax or pluck hairs for three weeks prior to treatment.
Laser hair removal is safe and effective when performed by a physician or other licensed professional specializing in laser technology. At our practice, you can expect the highest level of treatment from our qualified professionals.
Skin Tightening
As the name suggests, skin tightening is the process of tightening loose skin on the face, neck, and body through cosmetic procedures. Skin tightening can be used to reduce the effects of aging, promote firmer skin, and restore youthfulness. These treatments can be done in our office, and often, with little to no local anesthesia or numbing cream needed.
Skin tightening treatments include:
- Collagen supplements: Supplements used to increase the amount of collagen in your body and improve skin health over time.
- Microneedling: Also known as collagen induction therapy, this procedure repeatedly punctures the skin with tiny, sterile needles to promote collagen production and naturally tighten the skin.
- Ultrasound skin tightening: Also known as ultherapy, this non-invasive procedure uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift and tighten your skin.
- Radiofrequency skin tightening (RF): Uses radio frequency energy to heat the underlying tissue to encourage subdermal collagen production to reduce the appearance of loose skin.
- Spillover skin tightening: Used to melt away pockets of unwanted skin to firm up the overall look and feel of the targeted area.
- Surgical skin tightening: Includes various forms of plastic surgery.
To begin, we will identify the best cosmetic skin tightening solution for you depending on the targeted area and your desired result. Many skin tightening treatments require no downtime, while the downtime for some more severe procedures such as surgical skin tightening may vary.

Morpheus8
As we age, skin cells may not turn over as fast as they did when we were younger. This may cause wrinkles to become more apparent as loss of volume and elasticity occur causing the skin to stretch and sag. Many of us would like to slow down this process and return to our healthier, glowing complexion. Though many surgical treatments can achieve this, in recent years non-surgical techniques have been developed to address these concerns. At MedSpa Raphael we are proud to offer Morpheus8 to our patients who wish to reduce signs of aging.
What is Morpheus8?
Morepheus8 is a minimally invasive resurfacing treatment that combines microneedling procedures with radiofrequency technology to rejuvenate cells and soft tissue deep within the skin’s epidermis and dermis layers. The microneedling portion of the procedure creates tiny micro-wounds into the skin that allow the radiofrequency energy to penetrate deeper into the skin. This stimulates an increase of collagen and elastin production allowing for a softer, smoother, and more youthful complexion. Morpheus8 can also be combined with other treatments to enhance the outcome of skin resurfacing treatments.
What conditions can be treated?
Morpheus8 can treat a variety of conditions including:
- Acne scarring
- Deep lines, creases, and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Mild sagging
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin texture
Treatable areas include the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and legs.
What sets Morpheus8 apart from other treatments?
Unlike standard microneedling procedures, Morpheus8’s microneedles can be adjusted to reach a depth of up to 4 millimeters. This allows for treatment to be customized to the client’s needs and combined with radiofrequency thermal energy to treat a wide range of conditions that traditional microneedling may not be able to accomplish.
How many treatments will I need?
Some patients can achieve their desired results in one to three treatments. Other patients may need to schedule a series of treatments performed over several weeks. Your treatment plan will be discussed during the initial consultation to determine the ideal number of treatments for each patient.
Is the treatment painful?
Patient comfort is our top priority during treatment. Before the procedure, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the skin. After 30 minutes, the area will be checked to ensure the patient is ready to receive treatment. The patient may experience a warming sensation on his or her skin with little discomfort.
What are the side effects of treatment?
Patients may experience mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or temporary bruising which should subside within a few days. Patients may also experience tiny points on the skin from the microneedling that will crust over and flake off within a few days.
What is recovery like for Morpheus8?
As a minimally invasive procedure, most patients are able to return to their normal activities the day after treatment. We recommend patients gently moisturize the area and avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week. However, if Morpheus8 is used in conjunction with other procedures, the downtime period may increase depending on the more intensive procedure.
