Every service at Aahana begins with a Visia skin analysis and a Prakriti constitutional assessment. What follows is a protocol built around your clinical data, your skin tone, and your goals.
A thorough review of your health history, skin concerns, goals, and lifestyle. Your Prakriti constitutional assessment is completed here.
Clinical skin analysis across eight metrics, benchmarked against a database matched to your age and skin tone. You see your skin the way Dr. Shankar sees it.
Where indicated, labs, skin microbiome analysis, or skin DNA profiling may be recommended to complete your clinical picture.
A sequenced protocol built from everything gathered. Treatment options, home care, and a clear timeline, all explained before anything begins.
All injectable treatments are performed directly by Dr. Shankar. Placement, dosing, and sequencing are calibrated to your anatomy, your skin tone, and your goals.
Neuromodulators relax targeted muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles, lift specific areas, and subtly contour the face. Used for the forehead, glabella, crow's feet, brow lifting, lip lines, neck bands, and more.
Results visible in 3 to 14 days. Duration typically 3 to 4 months.
Hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume and define contours. Dr. Shankar approaches filler as a structural tool, with each placement considering facial balance, tissue depth, and long-term outcomes. Used for cheeks, lips, jawline, under-eye hollows, temples, and nasolabial folds.
Results immediate, refined over 2 weeks. Duration 9 to 18 months depending on area.
Rather than adding immediate volume, biostimulators signal your skin to produce its own collagen, creating gradual, lasting improvement in skin quality and structural support. Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid; Radiesse uses calcium hydroxylapatite. Both work best as part of a longer-term rejuvenation strategy.
Results develop over 4 to 12 weeks. Duration 1 to 2 years or more.
PRP concentrates your own growth factors from a small blood draw to stimulate tissue renewal. It can be administered as injections into the skin or scalp for targeted repair and hair restoration, or applied topically alongside microneedling to amplify results.
Series of treatments typically recommended. Hair restoration protocols available.
Every device at Aahana is selected for its precision, its safety record across all skin tones, and the strength of its clinical evidence. We expand this category only when the right devices are identified and vetted.
XERF delivers radiofrequency energy at two frequencies simultaneously, reaching every layer of the skin including the SMAS, the deep structural tissue responsible for lifting and firmness. Real-time impedance feedback adapts energy delivery to your skin continuously, ensuring precision and safety across all skin tones. Results build progressively as collagen remodels over weeks.
Single sessions and series available. Results continue developing over 3 to 6 months.
Laser devices are being evaluated for pigmentation, texture, resurfacing, and vascular concerns, with particular attention to safety across all Fitzpatrick types. Details and availability will be announced when devices are confirmed.
XERF is the only device that combines 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies, reaching the superficial, middle, and deep layers of the skin in a single session. Clinical studies confirm collagen remodeling at multiple depths, including histological evidence of changes at the SMAS layer, the same structural tissue addressed in surgical facelifts. FDA cleared and safe for all skin tones.

Each skin treatment is selected and sequenced as part of a broader protocol, based on your clinical data, your skin tone, and your goals. Nothing is standalone.
Controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural repair cascade, producing new collagen and elastin. Effective for texture refinement, scar reduction, pore size, and overall skin quality. Needle depth and parameters are calibrated to your skin and goals.
Exosomes carry growth factors and signaling proteins directly into skin cells, accelerating repair at the cellular level. Used post-microneedling to amplify results, or as a standalone treatment for patients seeking advanced biostimulation with minimal intervention.
Chemical exfoliation accelerates cell turnover and addresses pigmentation, texture, and active acne. Peel selection is determined by your skin tone, sensitivity, and goals. Deeper skin tones require particular care in acid selection and post-procedure support.
VI Peel performed by our licensed aesthetician under Dr. Shankar's direct oversight.
A multi-step treatment that simultaneously cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with hydrating serums. An ideal maintenance treatment and a strong entry point for patients new to medical aesthetics.

The skin reflects systemic health. Aahana's wellness offerings address the internal factors that no topical treatment can reach: metabolic health, cellular energy, and the signals that shape how your skin ages.
For appropriate candidates, GLP-1 therapy is integrated into a comprehensive wellness and skin plan, with close attention to the skin changes that can accompany significant body composition shifts, including volume loss, laxity, and nutritional gaps that affect skin quality.
Available following a full medical intake and assessment.
NAD+ is central to cellular energy production, DNA repair, and healthy aging. Its natural decline with age is linked to reduced skin repair capacity and slower cellular turnover. Protocols are targeted to patients whose clinical picture suggests meaningful benefit.
Peptides signal specific biological processes, from collagen synthesis to tissue repair. Selection is guided by your clinical picture and goals. Protocols are individualized and monitored over time.
Assessment and lab work required prior to initiation.
