Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Nadiv Shapira

Sourced directly from Dr. Nadiv Shapira's social posts and replies.

What is the timeline for microneedling results?
Collagen remodeling takes time, and the best results come with a series of treatments. Healthy skin isn’t built overnight, but the results are worth the wait.

The program helps patients understand what their skin is communicating, identify their acne triggers, and create a plan to get their skin back on track.
Source →
What are signs of filler migration in the lips?
A 'shelf' or excess fullness on the inside of the lip after filler may indicate that filler has migrated into the wet mucosa.
Source →
What is the philosophy behind acne treatment at First State Med Spa?
The practice believes acne breakouts are not random and that understanding the underlying cause and location of breakouts is crucial for effective treatment, rather than just drying it out.
Source →
What conditions can be treated with IPL and Erbium resurfacing?
The combination of IPL and Erbium resurfacing is used to target sun damage, pigmentation, uneven tone, and texture.
Source →
What are the expected results and timeline for IPL and Erbium resurfacing?
Significant improvement can be observed after just one treatment, though treatment plans are often continued beyond a single session to further refine remaining pigmentation and overall skin quality. Results take time, and the right treatment plan makes all the difference.
Source →
What is the Zimmer treatment?
The Zimmer treatment is a new offering at the practice, utilizing a Zimmer cooling machine during laser treatments to keep skin calm and comfortable, reducing heat and soothing the skin before, during, and after treatment.
Source →
Why is microneedling recommended for acne scars?
Microneedling is considered one of the best treatments for acne scars because it works by creating tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response to boost collagen and elastin production. This gradually fills in and smooths depressed acne scars, improves skin texture, softens fine lines, and minimizes pore appearance. It is safe for most skin types.
Source →
How does the advanced hair restoration treatment work and who is it for?
The advanced hair restoration treatment stimulates the scalp and strengthens hair follicles, encouraging thicker, healthier-looking hair over time. It is indicated for individuals noticing early thinning or looking to improve overall hair density.
