A: Yes, we offer CareCredit financing and custom package pricing to make treatments more accessible.

A: The best way to determine the right treatment is through a personalized consultation with Dr. Sassan Kaveh at Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas. Every patient’s skin type, medical history, concerns, and aesthetic goals are different, which is why we do not use a one-size-fits-all approach.

During your consultation, we evaluate factors such as skin quality, pigmentation, laxity, scarring, vascular concerns, and overall facial structure. Based on this assessment, Dr. Kaveh will recommend the most effective treatment options, whether that involves CO₂ laser resurfacing, Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing (ResurFX), triLift Non-Surgical Facelift, laser hair removal, vascular lesion removal, tattoo removal, or a customized combination approach.

Our goal is to create a treatment plan that delivers safe, natural-looking, and long-term results tailored specifically to you.

A: Results from a non-surgical facelift typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle. One of the key benefits of this treatment is that collagen production continues to develop for months after the procedure, leading to gradual and ongoing improvement in skin firmness and texture. To maintain optimal results, follow-up or maintenance sessions after 6 to 12 months may be recommended.

After each treatment, minimizing sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential to protect the skin and support the collagen-building process.

A: Traditional TriPollar RF treatments focus primarily on skin tightening by heating the dermal layers to stimulate collagen production. While effective for mild laxity, they target only the skin.

TriLift takes treatment further by combining radiofrequency skin tightening, Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt), and RF microneedling. in one comprehensive protocol. This multi-layered approach addresses the skin, deeper connective tissue, and underlying facial muscles at the same time.

By treating all structural levels of the face, triLift provides a more noticeable lift, improved skin texture, enhanced facial contour, and longer-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation compared to traditional RF alone.

A: TriPollar RF, and DMSt treatments involve little to no downtime. Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately after their session.

You may experience mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours to one day. If RF microneedling is included as part of the triLift protocol, temporary pinpoint redness or mild skin sensitivity may occur and can last approximately one to three days.

Dr. Sassan Kaveh provides personalized post-treatment instructions to support proper healing and ensure optimal, natural-looking results.

A: Yes. Combining non-surgical lifting treatments is often recommended to achieve more comprehensive and longer-lasting results. Procedures such as triLift, RF microneedling, Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing (ResurFX), and IPL can be strategically layered to address skin laxity, texture, pigmentation, and underlying muscle tone at multiple structural levels.

At Alpha Medical Aesthetics, these advanced combinations are offered as customized treatment protocols, including smoothGLO (IPL with RF-guided microneedling), triGLO (IPL combined with triLift), and Photofractional (IPL with Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing using ResurFX). Each protocol is designed to improve skin quality while enhancing lift and collagen remodeling.

During your consultation, Dr. Sassan Kaveh will create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin condition, facial structure, and aesthetic goals, ensuring treatments are safely combined and properly timed for optimal results.

A: The number of laser tattoo removal sessions varies depending on several factors, including the tattoo’s size, ink colors, depth, age, location on the body, and your skin type. Most tattoos require approximately 6 to 12 laser sessions, spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart, to achieve significant fading or complete removal. 

Professional, multi-colored, or deeply placed tattoos may require additional sessions, while smaller or older tattoos may fade more quickly. Treatments are spaced several weeks apart to allow your body time to naturally eliminate the fragmented ink particles.

During your consultation at Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas, Dr. Sassan Kaveh will evaluate your tattoo and provide a personalized treatment plan based on your specific goals and skin characteristics. Our goal is safe, progressive fading while protecting the surrounding skin and minimizing the risk of scarring.

A: Laser hair removal provides long-term and often permanent hair reduction, but it is not always 100% permanent hair removal. The treatment works by targeting and damaging active hair follicles during their growth phase, significantly reducing future hair growth.

Most patients experience substantial and lasting hair reduction after completing a recommended series of treatments. Any remaining hair typically grows back finer, lighter, and less dense. Because hormonal changes or dormant follicles can stimulate new growth over time, occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended.

At Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas, we use the advanced SplendorX laser platform, which combines dual wavelengths to effectively treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types. This technology allows for faster treatments, improved comfort, and more precise energy delivery for optimal long-term results.

A: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing (ResurFX) treat different skin concerns and work at different depths.

IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target pigmentation and vascular issues near the surface of the skin. It is commonly used to treat brown spots, sun damage, redness, acne scars, rosacea,  and broken capillaries, helping to improve overall skin tone and clarity.

ResurFX, on the other hand, is a non-ablative fractional laser that penetrates deeper into the dermis to stimulate collagen production. It is designed to improve skin texture, fine lines, and mild skin laxity by remodeling the skin from within without removing the outer layer.

In many cases, IPL and ResurFX can be combined for comprehensive skin rejuvenation, addressing both surface discoloration and deeper structural concerns at the same time.

A: Many modern laser treatments can be safely performed on a wide range of skin types when the appropriate technology and settings are used. However, not every laser is suitable for every skin tone or condition.

Safety depends on several factors, including your Fitzpatrick skin type, heritage, genetic predisposition to pigmentation, medical history, and the specific concern being treated. Certain laser platforms are better suited for lighter skin tones, while others are specifically designed to safely treat darker or more melanin-rich skin with a reduced risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

At Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas, Dr. Sassan Kaveh carefully evaluates your skin characteristics and selects the most appropriate laser technology and energy settings to maximize results while minimizing risks such as burns, pigmentation changes, or scarring. A personalized consultation ensures your treatment plan is both safe and effective for your unique skin profile.

A: The ideal frequency for a Carbon Peel depends on your skin type and treatment goals. For patients treating active acne, excess oil production, or enlarged pores, sessions are typically recommended every 2 to 4 weeks as part of a corrective series.

For general skin maintenance, brightening, and pore refinement, many patients choose a Carbon Peel every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain a clear, refreshed complexion.

Because the Carbon Peel is a gentle, non-ablative laser treatment with minimal downtime, it can be safely performed on a regular schedule. During your consultation at Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas, Dr. Sassan Kaveh will recommend a customized treatment plan based on your skin condition and long-term goals.

A: The best treatment for sun damage depends on the severity and type of skin changes present. Sun damage can include brown spots, uneven pigmentation, redness, fine lines, rough texture, and collagen loss, each requiring a targeted approach.

For surface pigmentation and discoloration, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is highly effective in improving brown spots and overall skin tone. For deeper texture changes, fine lines, and collagen loss, Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing (ResurFX) or Ablative UltraPulse Alpha CO₂ Laser resurfacing may be recommended to stimulate collagen remodeling and improve skin quality. In many cases, combination treatments provide the most comprehensive results.

At Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas, Dr. Sassan Kaveh evaluates your skin condition and designs a personalized treatment plan to safely restore clarity, smoothness, and a more youthful appearance.

A: Yes, active acne can often be effectively managed with advanced laser and light-based treatments. At Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas, we use technologies such as IPL and laser-based therapies to target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and help regulate excess oil production.

For more comprehensive management, combination treatment plans may include medical-grade topical formulations. When appropriate, customized prescription creams can be ordered through a specialty pharmacy to support acne control, reduce inflammation, and improve skin clarity alongside in-office treatments.

During your consultation, Dr. Sassan Kaveh will evaluate the severity of your acne, skin type, and medical history to design a personalized treatment plan that safely addresses both active breakouts and long-term skin health.

A: Maintaining your results depends on the type of treatment performed and your individual skin goals. In general, long-term results are supported by a combination of proper skincare, sun protection, and periodic maintenance treatments.

Daily use of medical-grade skincare products, including sunscreen, antioxidants, and collagen-supporting ingredients, helps protect your investment and slow future skin damage. For many patients, maintenance sessions such as IPL, Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing (ResurFX), triLift, or other collagen-stimulating treatments are recommended at scheduled intervals to preserve skin firmness, clarity, and texture.

Think of it like going to the gym for a year and then stopping while expecting the results to last forever. Just as muscle tone requires ongoing effort, collagen production and skin quality benefit from continued stimulation and proper care.

At Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas, Dr. Sassan Kaveh creates personalized maintenance plans tailored to your skin type, lifestyle, and long-term aesthetic goals to ensure your results remain natural-looking and long-lasting.

A: Most laser and non-surgical treatments involve minimal downtime. Common side effects may include temporary redness, mild swelling, warmth, or slight sensitivity in the treated area. These effects are typically short-lived and resolve within a few hours to several days, depending on the procedure performed.

For more intensive treatments, such as fractional or ablative laser resurfacing, downtime may include peeling, flaking, or mild crusting as the skin heals and regenerates. These responses are part of the normal healing process.

At Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas, Dr. Sassan Kaveh carefully selects appropriate treatment settings based on your skin type and condition to minimize risks. Detailed post-treatment instructions are provided to support proper healing and reduce the likelihood of complications such as pigmentation changes or prolonged irritation.
