Patient
Female, 48 years old (at the time of initial consultation)
Initial concerns at the first visit:
– Enlarged pores
– Uneven skin tone
– Dull complexion
– Early signs of aging
– Dehydrated skin
Skin type: combination skin with visible signs of aging.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
At the initial visit, a comprehensive skin assessment was performed at our Brooklyn Med Spa using the VISIA Skin Analysis System. This advanced diagnostic technology allows for an objective evaluation of skin quality, pore size, pigmentation, overall tone, and biological skin age.
The primary goals of the treatment plan were to:
- even out skin tone
- lighten dark spots
- minimize the appearance of enlarged pores
- improve skin texture and overall skin quality
- maintain optimal hydration levels
- slow down the aging process and preserve youthful-looking skin
A long-term skincare strategy was developed, focusing on sustainable results rather than short-term cosmetic improvements.
In-Office Treatments
All treatments were performed at Metodica Med Spa in Brooklyn, NYC, using FDA-approved technology and medical-grade protocols.

Results
After four years of consistent and structured skincare at our NYC MedSpa, the results are clearly visible.
In 2025, at nearly 52 years old, the patient’s skin appears noticeably younger than it did at age 48.
Follow-up VISIA Skin Analysis confirmed:
- Even and healthy skin tone
- Significant pore refinement
- Improved skin hydration
- Radiant complexion
- Reduced biological skin age
This case demonstrates that with the right long-term approach, skin can not only maintain its condition, it can continue to improve over time.
