Aesthetic Skin Conditions We Treat

Great aesthetic results begin with understanding your skin concern — not just picking a treatment. Here is every condition we treat at Naya Wellness, the symptoms that define it, and the clinician-directed options available to you.

Chatsworth & Santa Barbara

Most patients come to Naya knowing how they feel — not which treatment they need. This page is built around
your concern first, not our procedure menu. Find your condition, understand its causes, and
see exactly which treatments our clinicians use to address it. Every plan at Naya begins with a clinical
evaluation — because the right treatment depends on your specific presentation, not a trend.


01

Signs of Aging

Neuromodulators and dermal fillers are available at both our
Chatsworth and Santa Barbara locations.
PDO thread lifts, CO2 laser, and skin tightening procedures are available at Chatsworth.

Facial Wrinkles & Expression Lines

Dynamic wrinkles form from repeated facial muscle movement — smiling, squinting, frowning.
Over time, these temporary creases become permanent lines etched into the skin, even at rest.

Common signs

  • Forehead lines (horizontal and vertical)
  • Glabellar frown lines (between the brows)
  • Crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes
  • Bunny lines across the nose bridge
  • Perioral lip lines and chin dimpling
Botox
Dysport
Daxxify

Volume Loss & Facial Hollowing

As we age, the face loses fat, bone density, and collagen — creating a sunken or hollow
appearance, particularly in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area. The result is a
tired or gaunt look that neuromodulators alone cannot address.

Common signs

  • Flat or hollow cheeks
  • Sunken temples
  • Under-eye hollows (tear trough deformity)
  • Deepened nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Thinning or flattened lips
Juvederm
Restylane
Sculptra

Skin Laxity & Sagging

Loss of skin firmness and elasticity results in drooping or loose skin — most visible along
the jawline, jowls, and neck. Unlike volume loss, laxity is primarily a structural issue
driven by collagen and elastin breakdown.

Common signs

  • Jowling and loss of jaw definition
  • Sagging or heavy-looking cheeks
  • Loose or crepey neck skin
  • Drooping brow position
  • Hollowing under the eyes with overlying loose skin
PDO Thread Lift
CO2 Fractional Laser
Sculptra

02

Skin Texture & Tone

Chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and medical facials are available at our
Chatsworth clinic. Microneedling is available at both
Chatsworth and Santa Barbara.

Hyperpigmentation & Dark Spots

Uneven skin tone caused by excess melanin production — encompassing sun spots, melasma,
and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). A persistent concern that worsens without
sun protection and targeted clinical intervention.

Common signs

  • Brown or gray patches (melasma, especially on cheeks and upper lip)
  • Flat sunspots and age spots
  • Dark marks left by healed acne breakouts
  • Uneven skin tone across the face or décolletage
  • Freckles that darken seasonally

Acne & Post-Acne Scarring

Active acne involves clogged pores, bacterial overgrowth, and inflammation. Post-acne
scarring encompasses both the textural damage (indented scars) and pigmentation changes
that persist long after breakouts heal.

Common signs

  • Active breakouts — papules, pustules, or cystic nodules
  • Ice pick scars (deep, narrow pits)
  • Boxcar scars (broad depressions with defined edges)
  • Rolling scars (wavy, undulating surface)
  • Red or dark post-acne marks (PIH and PIE)

Dull Skin, Rough Texture & Enlarged Pores

Skin that appears flat, rough, or congested — often due to a buildup of dead skin cells,
sun damage, and reduced cell turnover. Pores that appear enlarged are typically caused
by sebaceous hyperplasia and chronic congestion.

Common signs

  • Flat or lackluster complexion with no glow
  • Visibly enlarged pores, particularly on the nose and cheeks
  • Rough or bumpy skin texture
  • Thick, congested, or clogged appearance
  • Uneven surface that doesn’t smooth with moisturizer

03

Hair & Body

Laser hair removal and PRP/PDGF hair restoration are available at our
Chatsworth location, 21800 Devonshire St., Chatsworth, CA 91311.

Unwanted Body & Facial Hair

Excess hair growth in cosmetically unwanted areas — commonly the face, underarms, bikini
area, legs, and back. Temporary removal methods like shaving and waxing address the surface
but not the follicle; laser hair removal targets the root.

Common signs

  • Coarse, dark, or rapidly regrowing hair
  • Ingrown hairs or follicular irritation from shaving or waxing
  • Facial hair along the upper lip, chin, or jawline
  • Excessive hair growth tied to hormonal changes (PCOS)
Laser Hair Removal

Hair Thinning & Hair Loss

A gradual reduction in hair density, often beginning at the crown or hairline.
Affects both men and women and is frequently worsened by hormonal changes,
stress, or nutritional deficiencies. Platelet-based therapies address scalp
health and follicular stimulation.

Common signs

  • Widening part line or visible scalp
  • Reduced overall hair density
  • Increased shedding on the pillow, brush, or shower drain
  • Receding hairline (temples or frontal)
  • Hair that breaks easily or appears finer than before

Frequently Asked Questions

Aesthetic Treatments at Naya — Your Questions Answered

What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
+
Botox and other neuromodulators (Dysport, Daxxify) relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles — lines formed by expression. Dermal fillers add volume to restore areas that have lost fullness due to aging, such as the cheeks, lips, or under-eye area. Many patients benefit from both, used together in a single visit or as part of a planned treatment schedule.
Which treatment is best for acne scars?
+
It depends on scar type. Atrophic textural scars — ice pick, boxcar, and rolling — respond best to CO2 fractional laser or microneedling, with CO2 providing deeper remodeling and microneedling offering a lower-downtime option. Flat post-acne discoloration (PIH or PIE) responds well to chemical peels and non-ablative laser. Mixed presentations typically benefit from a sequenced combination: CO2 or a deep peel first to remodel texture, followed by a microneedling series to refine the surface as the skin heals.
How many treatments will I need to see results?
+
Neuromodulators take effect within 5–14 days and require retreatment every 3–4 months. Dermal fillers provide immediate correction and last 9–18 months depending on the product and placement. CO2 laser and microneedling for scarring or texture typically require 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with noticeable improvement after the second or third session. PRP for hair loss requires 3 monthly initial sessions, then maintenance every 4–6 months.
Can I combine multiple aesthetic treatments in one visit?
+
Yes — combination treatments are common and often deliver better results than any single modality. Neuromodulators and fillers are frequently done in the same appointment. Certain laser and energy treatments can also be strategically paired. Some combinations require spacing for safety (e.g., not performing aggressive laser immediately after injectables); your provider will advise on timing.
Are aesthetic treatments at Naya medically supervised?
+
Yes. All treatments at Naya Wellness are performed or supervised by licensed clinicians — including our co-founder Carolyn Pampalone, MSN, FNP-BC, and physician Arpita Devani, D.O. Procedures requiring medical oversight are not delegated to unlicensed staff.
Are aesthetic treatments available at both the Chatsworth and Santa Barbara locations?
+
Our Chatsworth location offers a full aesthetic menu — neuromodulators, fillers, lasers, microneedling, chemical peels, medical facials, hair removal, and PRP/PDGF. Our Santa Barbara clinic specializes in injectables and needling. Check our location pages for the specific services available at each site.
What age should I start aesthetic treatments?
+
There is no universal starting age. Preventive neuromodulator treatment is increasingly common from the mid-20s onward to slow the formation of permanent wrinkles. Resurfacing and fillers are typically appropriate beginning in the mid-30s for most patients. The right starting point is based on your individual skin presentation and goals, not a number.
How do I know which treatment is right for my skin concern?
+
Use the condition guide above as a starting framework: wrinkles map to neuromodulators; volume loss to fillers; laxity to PDO threads or CO2 laser; pigmentation to peels or non-ablative laser; scarring to microneedling or CO2; hair loss to PRP or PDGF; and unwanted hair to laser hair removal. Most patients benefit from a combination — the specific combination depends on scar depth, skin tone, and how each individual’s skin responds. That nuance is what a clinical evaluation is designed to determine.
