Getting Started
8 QuestionsYes. Marcella Valdes, MMS, PA-C, is a nationally board-certified Physician Associate with over five years of dedicated experience in aesthetic medicine. Every treatment plan begins with a full consultation before any injectable is placed.
AURA is an advanced skin and facial analysis that reads texture, tone, hydration, and structure beneath the surface before any treatment is chosen. It's a $50 consultation and a popular first step for new patients, though it's optional.
Yes. EMVEE partners with Cherry, CareCredit, and PatientFi so you can spread the cost of treatment over time. You can apply directly through any of their links on our Financing page.
At EMVEE, neurotoxins start at $4.80 per unit and dermal fillers start at $800 per syringe. Membership pricing brings neurotoxin down further, to $4.50 per unit. Your exact cost depends on treatment area and how many units or syringes are used, which we'll walk through at consultation.
A board-certified PA-C, like Marcella, completes a medical training program and works under physician collaboration, with many injectors specializing specifically in aesthetics. A dermatologist is a physician focused on skin conditions broadly, injectables being one part of that. Both can be well qualified; what matters most is specific injectable experience and training, which is worth asking about directly.

Treatments
11 QuestionsMost patients see neurotoxin results last three to four months, though this varies by individual metabolism, dosage, and treatment area. Staying consistent with appointments, which membership pricing is designed to support, tends to extend how smooth results look over time.
Most patients return to normal activity the same day. Mild swelling or bruising at the injection site is common for a few days, and we'll walk you through aftercare specific to your treatment before you leave.
Traditional filler adds volume immediately. Sculptra is a bio-stimulator that prompts your own skin to gradually produce collagen over several weeks, so results build slowly and tend to last longer, often over a year.
Some tightening is visible within a few weeks, with full collagen remodeling results developing over two to three months. Most patients see the best outcome with a series of sessions rather than a single treatment.
Most patients rebook every three to four months to keep results consistent. Coming in on a regular schedule, rather than waiting until it's fully worn off, tends to produce smoother, more natural-looking results over time. It's part of why our memberships are built around monthly credit.
It depends on the treatment and your health history. Certain blood thinners and supplements can increase bruising risk with injectables. We'll review your medications and medical history during consultation and give you specific guidance before your appointment.
Both are generally well suited to a wide range of skin types and tones. As with any treatment, eligibility depends on your individual skin, health history, and goals, which we assess during consultation before recommending a plan.
All three are neurotoxins that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for expression lines, and all three are dosed in units. They differ in formulation, unit pricing and how quickly they take effect. Which one suits you is decided at your appointment. See neurotoxins in Coral Gables, not chosen in advance.
Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last nine to eighteen months. Areas with more movement, such as the lips, tend to metabolize filler faster than structural areas like the cheeks or jawline. Your longevity is also influenced by metabolism, product choice and how much was placed. See dermal fillers for detail.
PRF stands for platelet rich fibrin. A small blood sample is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors into a fibrin matrix, which releases those growth factors gradually once reintroduced. PRP is processed differently and does not form the same matrix.
Salmon DNA uses polynucleotides, purified DNA fragments, to support hydration, collagen production and elasticity. It is used to support skin quality rather than to add volume, so any change appears as texture, tone and luminosity and builds over several weeks rather than showing immediately. Response varies between individuals. Memberships include a complimentary AURA analysis if you want a baseline to measure against.
Membership
4 QuestionsYour full monthly payment, $99 for Classic or $129 for Signature, is added to your account as credit toward eligible services. Unused credit rolls over each month as long as your membership stays active and in good standing.
Both memberships require a 12-month commitment. Canceling before that term is complete carries a one-time cancellation fee equal to one month's payment, and any remaining treatment credit is forfeited.
If a promotion and a membership benefit both apply, we'll apply whichever gives you the lower price. Combining a promotion with membership pricing on top of that is at EMVEE's discretion and isn't guaranteed for every offer. Membership benefits have no cash value, and all treatments are subject to clinical eligibility and EMVEE's policies.
Classic ($99/month) covers member pricing on neurotoxin, filler and Sculptra savings, and a skincare discount. Signature ($129/month) adds a deeper filler and Sculptra discount, a broader skincare and treatment discount, and a complimentary IV every six months.
