Trusted Aesthetic Care at Sikora Integrative Medicine
In aesthetics, who performs your treatment matters as much as which treatment you choose.
A medical practice, not a med spa
Treatments are performed under the direction of Dr. Alita Sikora, MD, board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, supported by a credentialed team of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and registered nurses.
Training specific to these procedures
Dr. Sikora has completed continuing medical education in Botox, dermal fillers, microneedling, mesotherapy, and chemical peels through the American Academy of Procedural Medicine.
Recognized by patients, not just peers
Dr. Sikora is a Patients' Choice 5-Year Honoree, an award based on patient ratings and given to approximately 1% of physicians nationally, and a Castle Connolly Regional Top Doctor.
PRP is core to our practice, not an add-on
We use platelet-rich plasma for joints, hair, and skin, prepared with the EmCyte PurePRP double-spin system.
Skin and Facial Concerns We Address
Patients typically come to us about:
- Forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet
- Volume loss in the cheeks or under the eyes
- Skin laxity along the jawline and neck
- Uneven texture, enlarged pores, or acne scarring
- Dullness or uneven tone
- Early signs of aging, they’d like to slow rather than reverse
A consultation determines which treatments fit your concerns and whether treatment is appropriate for you.

Aesthetic Services We Offer
We offer a full suite of facial rejuvenation and skin-enhancing treatments, including:
Botox
A neuromodulator that softens expression lines by relaxing the muscles beneath them. Used for forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and jaw tension, it softens a tired or stern resting expression while preserving natural movement. Results appear in three to five days and last three to four months.
Dysport
A similar neuromodulator for natural-looking smoothing that diffuses slightly more broadly than Botox, suiting larger areas like the forehead. Appointments take 10 to 20 minutes, with results in two to three days lasting three to four months.
Dermal Fillers (Juvederm & Restylane)
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers that restore volume and contour where lines come from thinning rather than muscle movement, including the cheeks, lips, smile lines, and under-eye hollows. Visible the same day, settling over one to three weeks, and lasting 6 to 18 months.
LED Treatment
Gentle, non-invasive light therapy for dullness, redness, and mild congestion, using specific wavelengths without heat or lasers. Safe for all skin tones and types, including sensitive skin. Sessions take minutes with no downtime, with the best results after six to eight.
Radiofrequency Treatment
A non-surgical treatment that stimulates collagen to improve firmness, often chosen for mild to moderate laxity along the jawline and neck. Minimal downtime, with early improvement in one to two weeks and fuller benefits over two to three months.
PRP Facial Rejuvenation
A treatment using your own concentrated platelets and their growth factors to support collagen production and tissue renewal. Because no foreign substances are added, the allergy risk is low. Used for uneven tone, acne scars, and loss of firmness, with mild redness for one to two days and a series of three sessions spaced two to four weeks apart.
Microneedling
A collagen-inducing procedure using fine needles to create micro-channels that trigger the skin's healing response. Suited to acne scarring, uneven texture, and enlarged pores, where the goal is better skin quality rather than changed features. Sessions run 30 to 45 minutes, redness lasts 24 to 48 hours, and the best results are achieved with a series of 3 to 6. Offered as:
- SkinPen Microneedling: Performed with a medical-grade device.
- Salmon DNA (PDRN) Microneedling: Paired with a polydeoxyribonucleotide serum from purified salmon DNA. Not FDA-approved for aesthetic use in the US, so we review the evidence with you first.
- Exosome Microneedling: Paired with growth-factor-rich exosome serums. Not FDA-approved, so we review the evidence with you first.

Results and Considerations
- Timing varies by treatment: Fillers show volume change immediately, neuromodulators take effect within days, and collagen-stimulating treatments develop over several weeks.
- Results are temporary: Maintaining them means repeat treatments over time.
- Side effects are usually mild: Brief redness, swelling, or bruising is common; less commonly, asymmetry or uneven results can occur. The FDA outlines the risks associated with dermal fillers and advises working with a licensed provider experienced in injecting them.
- Not everyone is a candidate: Treatment may not be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in the presence of an active skin infection at the treatment site, or with certain medical conditions we review at your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
When placed conservatively and matched to your existing facial anatomy, they're designed to enhance your features rather than alter them. We focus on balanced, subtle results that preserve your natural facial movement.
Neuromodulators are priced per unit, and fillers per syringe, so the total depends on how many areas are treated. You’ll receive an exact quote at your consultation, and financing is available through M Lend Financial.
Most patients describe a brief pinch. Many fillers contain a local anesthetic, and any discomfort is short-lived.
Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 6 to 18 months, while neuromodulators typically last 3 to 4 months and begin working within a few days. Collagen-stimulating treatments develop gradually and often involve a series.
Both soften lines by relaxing the muscles beneath them, and both last roughly three to four months. Dysport diffuses slightly more broadly, which can suit larger areas like the forehead, while Botox allows more precise, localized placement. Which one fits depends on the area treated and how your muscles respond.
Many treatments require little to no downtime. Some services may cause brief redness or swelling.
Aesthetic treatments are typically self-pay. Pricing and financing options are available.
