The decision to pursue aesthetic enhancement is deeply personal and motivated by various factors. At Chao Plastic Surgery, we take time during consultations to understand not just what you want to change, but why it matters to you and how you envision improvement affecting your life.

Research shows that people seek aesthetic procedures for diverse reasons: addressing changes from aging, pregnancy, or weight loss; correcting features that have always been a source of insecurity; or simply maintaining their appearance as they age. Understanding your motivations helps us ensure you have realistic expectations and that aesthetic enhancement is the right choice for you at this time.

Say goodbye to stubborn age spots and sun damage with AgeJET at Vigour Aesthetics + Wellness, A Chao Plastic Surgery Med Spa. Unlike traditional lasers, AgeJET uses innovative nitrogen plasma technology—a contained arc of ionized nitrogen gas that generates precise energy to target pigmented lesions while leaving surrounding skin undamaged.

This cutting-edge treatment heats the deeper layers of skin to trigger natural regeneration and collagen production while keeping the outer layer intact, making it a non-ablative and minimally invasive option for skin rejuvenation. AgeJET effectively treats age spots, sun spots, freckles, and other forms of benign pigmentation on the face, hands, chest, and other areas. The treatment is quick, with most sessions taking just minutes and requiring minimal downtime. Treated spots typically darken initially before flaking off within 1-2 weeks, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin underneath.

Men have unique anatomical considerations and aesthetic goals that require specialized approaches. At Chao Plastic Surgery, Dr. Chao understands these differences and customizes treatments to achieve masculine, natural-looking results that enhance rather than feminize male features.

Popular procedures for men include gynecomastia surgery to address male breast tissue, liposuction for body contouring, and facial procedures that maintain strong, masculine features. Men often seek improvement while maintaining their natural appearance—the goal is enhancement that looks completely natural rather than obviously "done." During consultation, we discuss your specific concerns and goals to create a treatment plan that aligns with masculine aesthetic ideals.

Reveal smoother, more radiant skin instantly with dermaplaning at Vigour Aesthetics + Wellness, A Chao Plastic Surgery Med Spa. This gentle yet effective exfoliation treatment uses a surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz), creating an incredibly smooth canvas that enhances the pe*******on of skincare products and creates a flawless makeup application.

Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and requires no downtime, making it perfect for special events or regular skincare maintenance. Many patients combine dermaplaning with other treatments like chemical peels or hydrating masks for enhanced results. The treatment leaves skin instantly brighter, smoother, and more receptive to professional serums and home skincare products.

Body Mass Index (BMI) plays an important role in determining surgical candidacy and predicting optimal outcomes. At Chao Plastic Surgery, Dr. Chao evaluates each patient individually, considering BMI alongside overall health status, realistic goals, and specific procedure requirements.

Not reaching your weight-loss goals on your own? Vigour Aesthetics + Wellness offers a results-driven medical weight loss program that blends customized support and accountability with the latest and most effective medical interventions for your needs (that may or may not include injectable weight-loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide). This program is run by nurse practitioners under the guidance of a board-certified physician.

Weight-loss drugs are not a quick fix or standalone solution. All Vigour clients are carefully monitored and receive expert guidance on lifestyle changes needed for long-lasting results after you stop taking the medication. Whether you're preparing for surgery or simply working toward better health, we're here to support your journey with comprehensive medical guidance and personalized care.

At Chao Plastic Surgery and Vigour Aesthetics + Wellness, Sculptra offers a unique approach to facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your body's own collagen production, creating natural-looking results that develop over time and can last up to two years or more.

This poly-L-lactic acid injectable is ideal for addressing age-related volume loss in the cheeks, temples, and jawline. Most patients require a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with results emerging gradually over several months. The beauty of Sculptra lies in its subtlety—friends will notice you look refreshed but won't be able to pinpoint exactly what changed.
