Advanced Treatments

Advanced Treatments at The Spa by Sheena combine multiple technologies or target specialized concerns that basic facials and peels can't fully address. The category includes RF microneedling with Fractora, PRP-based treatments for hair restoration and skin rejuvenation, plasma pen for lifting and skin tightening, electrocauterization for benign lesion removal, sclerotherapy for spider veins, and microneedling protocols. These are recommended when standard skincare has plateaued or when you have specific concerns that require targeted modalities.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is your own blood, spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets and growth factors. Those growth factors—when injected or applied during microneedling—signal your skin or scalp to repair, regenerate, and produce new collagen. We use it for facial rejuvenation, acne scars, and hair restoration. Because it's your own biology, there's no risk of allergic reaction.

Yes, for the right candidate. PRP works best on patients in the early-to-middle stages of hair loss—androgenetic alopecia, thinning crown, receding hairline. It's less effective once a follicle has been dormant for years. Most patients need 3 to 4 initial sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6 to 9 months. Combining PRP with topical treatments like minoxidil improves results.

Regular microneedling uses tiny needles to trigger collagen production at the surface. RF (radiofrequency) microneedling adds heat energy through those same needles, treating both the surface AND deeper layers simultaneously. The result is more dramatic tightening and texture improvement than microneedling alone—particularly for jowls, neck laxity, and stretch marks. We use the InMode Fractora platform.

A plasma pen creates a tiny controlled electrical arc that vaporizes skin at the surface and tightens the deeper tissue underneath. It's used for non-surgical eyelid lifts, treating crow's feet and forehead lines, lifting jowls, and tightening around the mouth. Results last 3+ years per treatment. There is downtime—7–10 days of visible scabbing—so plan around social events accordingly.

Sclerotherapy treats spider veins—small visible blue or red veins on the legs—by injecting a solution that collapses the vein from the inside. The body then absorbs the collapsed vein over 4–8 weeks. Most patients need 1–3 sessions per area. It's done in-office in about 30 minutes per session, with light compression stockings recommended for the first week.

Electrocauterization is a quick in-office procedure to remove benign lesions: skin tags, cherry angiomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, broken capillaries, and small flat moles. We use a fine electric current to vaporize the lesion at the surface with minimal damage to surrounding skin. Most lesions take seconds to remove. Multiple lesions can be addressed in one appointment.

Most advanced treatments work as a series. PRP for hair: 3 to 4 initial sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 6 to 9 months. RF microneedling: 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. Sclerotherapy: 2 to 3 sessions per area. Plasma pen: typically once per quarter. Electrocauterization: usually one session per lesion. Your provider will give you a specific plan after consultation.

Varies by treatment. PRP: minor swelling for 24 hours. RF microneedling: 3–5 days of redness and mild peeling. Plasma pen: 7–10 days of visible scabbing, then 2–4 weeks for full healing. Sclerotherapy: light bruising and compression stocking for a week. Electrocauterization: small scabs at treated spots for 5–7 days. We give you a specific aftercare plan at every appointment.

Yes, when performed by trained providers in a medical setting under physician oversight. All our Advanced Treatments are performed by licensed clinical staff with appropriate training on each device. Patricia Arledge, MD—our Medical Director—oversees protocols. We follow Texas medical board standards and maintain sterile technique throughout.

Book a complimentary consultation. We'll evaluate the specific concern you're addressing, your skin type and history, your budget, and your downtime tolerance—then recommend the right treatment (or combination of treatments). Many concerns benefit from layering multiple modalities over time. Call (806) 701-5840 or book online.
