Skin assessment
Aesthoria Med Spa Layanna Ahrens RN BSN
General & Booking
We offer a complimentary 45-minute skin assessment — not a sales pitch. Layanna will look at your face, ask about your lifestyle and goals, and tell you honestly which treatments will make a real difference, and which ones aren't worth your money yet. You leave with a clear picture and zero obligation.
No — Aesthoria is by appointment only. This ensures Layanna can dedicate full attention to each client without interruption. Book online or call (331) 244-2221.
Most treatments use FDA-approved products and devices. Some neurotoxin applications — such as masseter slimming, neck lifting, and shoulder slimming — are off-label uses, which is common and accepted clinical practice. All treatments are performed under the medical supervision of Dr. Jason Wright, DO — board-certified Plastic Surgeon.
Layanna Ahrens, BSN, RN, FNP-S — founder and lead injector with 10+ years beauty industry experience including celebrity makeup artistry. Every protocol is curated by Layanna and supervised by Dr. Jason Wright, DO — board-certified Plastic Surgeon and MedSpa owner.

Neurotoxins / Botox
Frown lines (11s), forehead lines, crow's feet, brow lift, lip flip, DAO (downturned corners), mentalis/chin dimpling, gummy smile, jelly roll (under-eye), nose refinement, masseter/jaw slimming, Nefertiti neck lift, Barbie Tox (shoulder slimming), High Heel Tox, migraine relief, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and TMJ/teeth grinding.
Standard areas: 3–4 months. Masseter and hyperhidrosis: 4–6 months. Daxxify upgrade lasts 2–3× longer than standard Jeuveau (add +$249/area). Regular maintenance helps extend results over time as muscle memory diminishes.
Most clients describe it as a light pinch — discomfort is minimal and brief. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if needed. Treatments typically take 20–45 minutes depending on area.
Migraines: FDA-approved chronic migraine protocol from $1,599+. TMJ/teeth grinding: Masseter relaxation from $999+. Hyperhidrosis: blocks sweat gland activation, from $2,650+. All performed by Layanna .
Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for those with certain neuromuscular disorders, or individuals with a known allergy to botulinum toxin ingredients. Layanna reviews all contraindications at your complimentary assessment.
Dermal Fillers
Fillers restore volume, smooth static wrinkles, and enhance facial features including lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, under-eyes, temples, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. All fillers at Aesthoria are hyaluronic acid-based and fully reversible with hyaluronidase.
Lips: 6–12 months. Cheeks/chin: 12–18 months. Jawline: 12–18 months. Under-eyes: 12–18 months. Individual metabolism, lifestyle, and product used all affect longevity. Regular maintenance appointments are available.
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase (Hylenex). Filler dissolve is available at Aesthoria for $699 per area. Sculptra and Radiesse are not dissolvable — consult Layanna before treatment.
No. Botox relaxes muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles (lines from movement). Filler adds volume beneath the skin to restore fullness and contour features. Many clients benefit from both together — Layanna's Signature Balance combines 2 syringes filler + 20u tox for $1,695.
No. Filler and neurotoxin treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to a lack of safety data. Please wait until after pregnancy and nursing to resume treatment.
GLP-1 Medical Weight Loss
Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) from $199/mo · Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) from $325/mo · Liraglutide (Saxenda, including PCOS management). Retatrutide (triple agonist) coming soon — join the waitlist. All programs supervised in-person by Dr. Jason Wright, DO.
Semaglutide mimics GLP-1, a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. It slows digestion, reduces hunger signals, and helps stabilize blood sugar — resulting in sustainable weight loss. Weekly subcutaneous injection with gradual dose titration to minimize side effects.
Semaglutide is a single GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 + GIP receptor agonist — targeting two metabolic pathways, which clinical trials show produces greater average weight loss. Tirzepatide is increasingly popular for body recomposition alongside aesthetics.
Typically recommended for individuals with a BMI of 27+ with weight-related health concerns, or BMI 30+ seeking medical weight loss. Liraglutide is particularly effective for PCOS-related weight resistance. A free 30-minute eligibility consultation with Dr. Wright determines candidacy.
PRP & PRF Regenerative
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate collagen production and tissue repair. A small blood draw is processed in a centrifuge to isolate platelets, then injected or applied during microneedling. From $750 per session.
PRP ($750): High-speed spin, liquid plasma, rapid growth factor release. PRF ($1,000): No additives, slower spin, creates a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors over 7–14 days for deeper, longer-lasting results. PRF is next-generation and preferred for under-eye and fine-line correction.
Microneedling combined with PRP. The microneedling creates micro-channels and PRP penetrates deeply to supercharge collagen production. Dramatically improves texture, tone, fine lines, and acne scarring. Results build for 4–8 weeks. From $750.
Most clients see meaningful improvement after 1–2 sessions. For hair restoration and more advanced concerns, 4–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended. Layanna will advise at your assessment.
Skin Treatments & IV Hydration
Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and dull texture. It also stimulates collagen production for firmer, healthier skin. Available on face & neck ($425), body ($499+), and with Skin Botox/Jeuveau ($695).
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that stimulates your body's own collagen production. Unlike filler that adds immediate volume, Sculptra rebuilds facial structure gradually over 4–12 weeks. Results last 2+ years. Ideal for cheeks, temples, and jawline volume. $1,000/vial.
30–60 minutes depending on the drip. NAD+ sessions run 1–4 hours. All sessions administered by a licensed medical professional. Build Your Own IV from $125. Myers Cocktail $250. NAD+ from $199 (150mg) to $450 (500mg).
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production, DNA repair, and cognitive function. IV delivery ensures 100% absorption. Clients report improved energy, mental clarity, and reduced fatigue. Monthly protocol recommended for longevity benefits.
