Aesthetic Medicine
Physician-administered aesthetic treatments — Botox, dermal fillers, PRP, stem cell facial rejuvenation, and more. US-certified since 2008.
Physician-administered only. All aesthetic treatments at Chapala Med are performed by Dr. Santiago Hernández — certified in aesthetic medicine in the United States since 2008. You will never be treated by an unlicensed technician or aesthetician.
BOTOX® & Dermal Fillers
FDA-approved botulinum toxin injections to smooth forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines — combined with hyaluronic acid fillers to restore volume, enhance lips, define cheekbones, and soften nasolabial folds. Dr. Hernández has been certified in Botox and fillers since 2008.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Facial
Your own blood is drawn, concentrated into platelet-rich plasma, and applied to stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. Excellent for skin texture improvement, hair restoration, and as a complement to other aesthetic treatments — using only your body's own healing factors.
Stem Cell Facial Rejuvenation
Advanced cellular therapy applied to the face to promote deep regeneration, improve skin quality, and address the root causes of aging at the cellular level. Part of our exclusive CRYOVIDA laboratory partnership — the same pharmaceutical-grade cells used in our systemic regenerative protocols.
Derma Pen (Microneedling)
Controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing response, producing collagen and elastin. Effective for acne scars, large pores, fine lines, and overall skin texture improvement — with minimal downtime.
Plasma Pen & Tensor Threads
Plasma fibroblast therapy uses ionized gas to tighten and resurface skin without surgery — effective for upper and lower eyelids, lip lines, jowls, and neck laxity. Combined with PDO tensor threads inserted under the skin to lift and tighten sagging tissue with immediate, lasting results.
