Botox & Dysport
Neuromodulators like Botox Cosmetic and Dysport work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines — the horizontal forehead lines, the frown lines between the brows, and the crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes. In skilled hands, the result is not a frozen look but a softened, more relaxed version of your existing expression.
Dr. Mehta takes a conservative approach on first visits, preferring to start at a moderate dose and adjust at your two-week follow-up. This philosophy consistently produces the most natural outcomes and prevents the over-treated appearance that patients fear most.
- Results visible within 3–5 days, full effect at 14 days
- Effective for forehead lines, glabellar complex, and crow's feet
- Off-label use for lip flip, brow lift, and jaw slimming
- Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) treatment available
- Maintenance typically every 3–4 months
- No downtime; minor redness resolves within hours
Dermal Fillers
Volume loss is one of the most significant contributors to facial aging — more so than lines and wrinkles alone. Hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) and biostimulatory fillers (Sculptra, Radiesse) restore that lost volume while also improving skin quality over time.
Our approach to filler is anatomical first. Dr. Mehta maps your underlying bone structure, fat compartment changes, and skin laxity before placing a single injection. The goal is always to turn back the clock, not to reshape the face into something unfamiliar.
- Cheeks, temples, and midface volume restoration
- Jawline definition and chin projection
- Lip augmentation and perioral line treatment
- Under-eye hollows and tear trough correction
- Hand rejuvenation with HA or Radiesse
- Results last 9–18 months depending on product and area
Laser Resurfacing
Our laser suite includes fractional CO₂ (the gold standard for resurfacing) and a 1540nm non-ablative erbium laser for patients who cannot take downtime. Both technologies create controlled micro-injury to the dermis, stimulating robust collagen remodeling that continues to improve skin quality for six to twelve months post-treatment.
We treat texture irregularities, enlarged pores, acne scarring, melasma-free hyperpigmentation, and early skin laxity. Every patient receives a pre-treatment consultation to assess Fitzpatrick skin type and customize laser parameters — this is what separates physician-directed laser work from aesthetic chain protocols.
- Fractional CO₂ for significant texture and tone correction
- Non-ablative 1540nm for mild-to-moderate concerns with minimal downtime
- Acne scar remodeling and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Safe for Fitzpatrick types I–IV with appropriate protocols
- Pre-treatment with prescription retinoids for optimal outcomes
- Series of 3 non-ablative sessions or single fractional treatment
Body Contouring
Lumina's body contouring program combines cryolipolysis (controlled fat cell apoptosis), radiofrequency skin tightening, and injectable deoxycholic acid (Kybella) to address subcutaneous fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. These are not weight-loss treatments — they are precision refinement for patients who are already well within a healthy range.
We design each patient's program around their specific anatomy and the areas of concern. A full body consultation includes photographs, measurements, and a frank conversation about realistic expectations — because honest medicine is the only kind we practice.
- Cryolipolysis for abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, and arms
- RF skin tightening for mild-to-moderate laxity post-reduction
- Kybella (deoxycholic acid) for submental fat elimination
- Permanent fat cell reduction — results maintained with stable weight
- No general anesthesia, no surgical recovery
- Visible results at 8–12 weeks, optimal at 16 weeks
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels use controlled exfoliating agents — glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, TCA, and phenol-based compounds — to remove damaged outer skin layers and stimulate fresh cell turnover. The depth of peel is matched precisely to the concern being treated and the patient's skin resilience.
Superficial peels require no recovery time and are excellent for maintenance brightening between other treatments. Medium-depth TCA peels address more significant sun damage, deep lines, and uneven tone, with three to seven days of peeling. We pre-treat and post-treat every peel patient with a physician-designed regimen.
- Superficial: glycolic, lactic, and salicylic peels for brightening
- Medium: TCA 25–35% for significant tone correction and fine lines
- VI Peel and Jessner combination protocols
- Excellent for active acne, comedonal breakouts, and post-acne marks
- Safe for chest and décolletage rejuvenation
- Series of 3–6 superficial peels for progressive improvement
Medical-Grade Skincare
In-office treatments produce their best and longest-lasting results when supported by a rigorous at-home regimen. At Lumina, skincare prescription is a medical act — Dr. Mehta personally designs each patient's protocol based on skin type, sensitivities, active concerns, and treatment schedule.
We carry and prescribe from a curated selection of evidence-backed brands including SkinMedica, Revision Skincare, iS Clinical, and Alastin — as well as prescription-strength tretinoin, hydroquinone, and compounded formulations when clinically appropriate. We do not sell products for commission; we recommend what works.
- Prescription tretinoin programs for anti-aging and acne
- Growth factor serums (TNS) for post-procedure recovery
- Compounded brightening formulas for hyperpigmentation
- SPF consultation — the most important anti-aging step
- Quarterly reassessment and protocol adjustment
- Virtual follow-up included with all regimen patients
