medical treatments

Physician-guided treatments addressing medical and functional concerns affecting skin, muscle activity, and overall comfort.

At vafaMD, many treatments extend beyond aesthetics.

Medical treatments at vafaMD are performed by the experience of Dr. Vafa, who has treated patients in Manhattan for over 20 years.

In addition to aesthetic medicine, the practice offers select treatments addressing functional concerns affecting the skin and facial muscles. Each treatment is approached conservatively and tailored to the individual, with a strong emphasis on safety, anatomy, and thoughtful care.

  • Scar-free Mole Removal

    Radiosurgery is a precise technique used to remove benign moles and skin lesions with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

    Using controlled radiofrequency energy, this method allows for careful removal and cauterization while supporting smoother healing and reduced scarring compared to traditional excision.

    Commonly treated concerns:

    • Raised benign moles
    • Skin tags
    • Certain benign skin lesions

  • Bruxism (Jaw Clenching) Treatment

    Botulinum toxin can be used therapeutically to relax overactive jaw muscles responsible for clenching or grinding.

    By reducing muscle overactivity in the masseter muscles, treatment may help relieve jaw tension, headaches, and tooth wear associated with chronic bruxism.

    Helps improve:

    • Jaw tension and soreness
    • Teeth grinding
    • Facial muscle fatigue
    • Jawline muscle hypertrophy from clenching (uneven jawline)

  • Migraines + tension

    Botulinum toxin injections can be used to help reduce the frequency and severity of chronic migraines.

    This treatment works by targeting specific muscle groups involved in headache patterns, helping interrupt pain signaling pathways.

    Helps improve:

    • Neck and facial tension
    • Trap tension (trap-tox)
    • Facial and eye muscle fatigue
    • Jaw and forehead tension

  • hyperhydrosis

    Botulinum toxin can be used to reduce excessive sweating by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate overactive sweat glands.

    This treatment is commonly performed in areas such as the underarms, hands, or feet and can significantly improve comfort and confidence for patients experiencing persistent sweating that does not respond to topical treatments.

    Results typically last several months before maintenance treatment is needed.

    Common treatment areas:

    • Underarms
    • Palms of the hands
    • Soles of the feet

  • vascular treatments

    Certain superficial veins can become visible over time due to genetics, sun exposure, or changes in skin and circulation. These veins may appear on the face or body and can create a persistent red, blue, or purple discoloration beneath the skin.

    At vafaMD, treatment options are selected based on the location and type of vein. Sclerotherapy ( injection therapy) and/ or a targeted laser approach can reduce the appearance of visible veins while preserving surrounding skin.

    Commonly treated concerns include:

    • Facial veins and broken capillaries
    • Spider veins
    • Small to large superficial veins on the body
