Restylane, Revanesse and RHA are all hyaluronic acid fillers, and each line has products with different firmness and flexibility. Softer, more flexible gels suit lips and areas that move a lot, while firmer gels lift and define cheeks, chin and jawline. Your injector chooses the product for each area during your consultation rather than using one filler everywhere.

Most first time patients start with one syringe for lips or a single area, and one to two syringes for cheeks or jawline. Your injector maps the plan with you at a consultation and may suggest building up over two visits rather than placing everything at once. Results are reviewed at a two week follow up.

Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6 to 18 months depending on the product and the area. Lips usually last 6 to 9 months because of constant movement, while cheeks, chin and jawline often last 12 to 18 months. Regular maintenance tends to extend results over time.

Peel depth and formula are chosen after a skin analysis so the treatment matches your skin type and goals.

Yes, with the right formula. Peels that include salicylic acid help clear pores and calm inflammation, and they are chosen and applied by a medical provider. We assess active breakouts first and may pair peels with medical facials or microneedling for the best result.

You will see brighter, smoother skin after a single peel. For acne, pigmentation or texture, a series of three peels spaced about four weeks apart gives the best result, with a maintenance peel every three to four months.

You will feel warmth, tingling or mild stinging for a few minutes while the solution is on the skin, and a cooling fan keeps it comfortable. Most patients rate it as very tolerable and no numbing is needed.

Skin looks tight and lightly pink for the first day or two, peeling starts around day three and finishes by day five to seven. Most people keep their normal routine and simply avoid sun, heat and exfoliants for the week.

Chemical peels start at $400 per treatment, and a series of three is $1,200. Everything starts with a skin analysis so you only book the peel that fits your skin. GENEVA is self pay, HSA and FSA funds can often be used, and members save 10% to 15%.

Both add a regenerative layer to standard microneedling.

Everything is coordinated in one chart by the same team that handles your primary care.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that signal the body to repair, recover and regulate itself. At GENEVA they are prescribed by a physician after bloodwork and a consultation, with protocols built around goals such as recovery, metabolic health, sleep, skin and healthy aging. Progress is monitored with follow up labs.

Biomarker testing is advanced bloodwork that looks beyond a standard panel at hormones, metabolic markers, inflammation, nutrients and cardiovascular risk. The results become the roadmap for your plan, whether that is hormones, peptides, weight loss or simply the right preventive care.

Every plan starts with a consultation and bloodwork rather than a menu. Your provider reviews your history, goals and results, then builds a roadmap that may combine hormone optimization, peptides, IV therapy and skin treatments. The plan is revisited at regular follow ups as your labs change.

Exosomes are tiny signaling packets released by cells that carry growth factors and instructions for repair. GENEVA uses them in regenerative skin and hair treatments, often paired with microneedling, to support faster recovery and a stronger collagen response.

Yes. Gut health optimization at GENEVA combines targeted testing, nutrition guidance and a physician led plan for bloating, irregular digestion, food sensitivities and low energy. Because it sits in the same chart as your primary care, findings are shared with the rest of your team.

The Longevity & Primary Care membership bundles your physician visits, advanced bloodwork and longevity testing into one monthly plan starting at $575 per month, with members saving 10% to 15% on treatments. The full tier comparison is in the Membership section of every service page.

Yes. The Aesthetics memberships are $125 and $250 per month and turn regular treatments into a monthly plan with 10% to 15% member savings. Ask our team which tier fits your treatment schedule.

Yes, that is how GENEVA is built. Your primary care, hormones, peptides and skin treatments live in one chart with one team, so nothing is prescribed in isolation and every treatment is checked against your labs and medications.

Plan on 45 to 60 minutes. Your provider reviews your history, symptoms and goals, orders or reviews bloodwork, and explains the options and their cost before anything is booked. You leave with a written roadmap and a follow up date.

GENEVA is a self pay practice, so we do not bill insurance or submit claims on your behalf. You will know the cost before you start, with no surprise billing. HSA and FSA funds can often be used, and we can provide an itemized receipt if you want to seek reimbursement yourself.

GENEVA uses the HELIX platform for three levels of resurfacing: CoolPeel for a light, low downtime refresh, Fusion for deeper texture and pigment work, and Sultra CO2 for scars, lines and skin tightening. Your provider recommends the level after a skin analysis.

CoolPeel treats the surface of the skin with very short pulses, so redness settles in a day or two and it suits pores, fine lines and sun damage. Full CO2 resurfacing goes deeper to rebuild collagen for acne scars, etched lines and laxity, with about five to seven days of recovery.

CoolPeel: one to two days of pinkness. Fusion: three to five days of redness and light flaking. Sultra CO2: five to seven days, with sun protection for several weeks afterward. We plan the treatment around your calendar.

CoolPeel starts at $850 for the face, $975 for face and neck and $1,095 for face, neck and chest. Fusion starts at $1,000. CO2 resurfacing and skin tightening start at $1,200 for the face, $1,700 for face and neck and $1,900 for face, neck and chest. GENEVA is self pay, HSA and FSA funds can often be used, and members save 10% to 15%.

Most adults with texture, pores, sun damage, fine lines or acne scars are candidates. Deeper treatments are timed around sun exposure and skin tone is assessed first. Every laser treatment at GENEVA starts with a skin analysis.
