No Downtime, Big Results: Top 4 Medspa Procedures With Quick Recovery
Posted on May 28, 2025 | by Boston Plastic Surgery
Gone are the days when dramatic transformations required weeks of recovery. More and more of our patients are opting for non-surgical transformations they can get between meetings or on their coffee break! Our Skin + Wellness team is committed to offering trusted treatments performed skillfully and conveniently.
Our menu of quick-recovery procedures proves that you don’t need to press pause on your life to feel a true shift in your confidence. Whether you have an hour or an afternoon, here are some of the top treatments we recommend for your transformation.
1. Botox® and Dysport: Erase Years in Minutes
Some of our favorite skin refresh treatments are BOTOX and Dysport. These injectables don’t just reduce wrinkles; they rewind time. In mere minutes, years of stress, worry, and fatigue visibly melt away. Our patients enjoy seeing a revitalized, more youthful version of themselves after just a few quick injections.
How it works: These neuromodulators temporarily relax facial muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. They’re particularly effective for crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.
Transformation time: The treatment takes just 10-15 minutes, with results appearing within 3-7 days and lasting for 3-4 months.
Downtime: None. A few people may have a small bruise, but you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
2. Vivace RF Microneedling: Your Skin’s Time Machine
RF microneedling treatments don’t just improve texture and tightness; they help restore the complexion you thought was lost to time. Patients are often amazed at how RF microneedling can transform not just the appearance of their skin, but its quality. Many report feeling like they’ve regained the skin of their youth, with a newfound bounce, glow, and firmness they thought was impossible without surgery.
How it works: Vivace combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and tighten loose skin. This dual-action approach provides comprehensive skin rejuvenation, and we recommend treating the face and neck together.
Transformation time: While results are visible the next week, optimal results develop over the following weeks as your skin produces new collagen.
Downtime: Minimal to none. While you may have a slight pink tint to the skin, most patients return to their normal activities the same day or the day after treatment. You can resume wearing makeup normally the next day, and any minor swelling typically subsides within 24-48 hours.
“I just wanted to express my deep gratitude for the incredible experience I had with Boston Plastic Surgery. Dr. Samaha and the whole team made me feel so comfortable and well-cared for throughout the entire process. Aliza’s expertise and compassion during my Dysport injections and microneedling have truly been life-changing. I cannot recommend Boston Plastic Surgery highly enough!””
3. CoolPeel Laser: Instantly Radiant Skin
A zero-downtime laser treatment with CoolPeel can help you hit the “reset” button on your complexion. This minimally invasive treatment improves the health of your skin while also revealing the radiant, glowing complexion you might not have realized was achievable. Many patients reported that they feel comfortable going makeup-free for the first time in years.
How it works: Our CoolPeel laser is essentially a light-depth CO2 laser, requiring no downtime yet addressing various skin concerns, including fine lines, uneven texture, and hyperpigmentation. It works at the cellular level to improve skin quality and appearance.
Transformation time: While some improvements are visible immediately, optimal results develop over the following weeks as your skin renews itself.
Downtime: Minimal. You may experience some light swelling or redness, but you can return to normal activities right away, and this should dissipate within a day.
4. Facial & Lip Fillers: Subtle Yet Stunning
Our injectors know that fillers are more than just plumping—they’re an art form that can completely transform your face. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement in the cheeks or a bold, voluptuous pout, expertly placed fillers can make all the difference in how you feel about your features.
How it works: We use premium dermal fillers like Juvéderm, Restylane, and Sculptra to add volume, enhance shape, and define your features. Our skilled injectors work with small adjustments to create natural-looking results tailored to your facial features.
Transformation time: Results are immediate and can last for 6-12 months, depending on the type of filler used.
Downtime: None, though many patients schedule these treatments before a weekend for the convenience of letting minor symptoms resolve. Some patients may experience slight swelling or small bruises for 1-2 days.
We’re here to help you discover how these treatments can enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence! We even offer wellness treatments, like NAD+ injections, that can help boost your inner well-being in the same appointment.
