Artavi was founded by Dr. Tarina Desai, who serves as owner, medical director and chief injector. The name is built from the first two letters of the names of her children, herself and her husband. The office sits in the Heights Mercantile center and is open Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm, with Saturdays by appointment.
Visits typically begin with a complimentary mini consultation before any treatment. For injectables and fillers, clients can book a one-hour comprehensive consultation or send photos for a pre-assessment, which produces a preliminary plan with dates and pricing. A physician is on site at all times and a crash cart is kept ready. Botox is listed at $15 per unit, and filler prices depend on the area, the filler type and the amount needed, so they are set at consultation. Dermal fillers start at $725 for lips and $900 for cheeks, temples and under eyes.
The skin menu includes Skinceuticals facials, which begin with an analysis using the Skinceuticals skinscope after an assessment form is completed. Peels include the VI Peel line and SkinMedica options. Laser options include Laser Genesis, IPL photofacials and a laser acne treatment. Hormone therapy uses bio-identical hormones and begins with a detailed consultation, diagnostic testing and a tailored plan, followed by ongoing monitoring.
The practice describes its goal as personalized care that recommends only what is in the patient's best interest. It says it aims to keep each client's own features and enhance them, and it may decline a service or refer a patient to another office when a different specialty is a better fit. A membership called BYMB costs $100 per month, applies that amount toward any service, lets unused credit roll over, and offers discounts on Botox, fillers, laser, skincare and microneedling. Deposits apply to the total at checkout and are forfeited if an appointment is canceled or moved within 48 hours.
Personalized treatment plans built around each client, with a physician on site and a willingness to refer elsewhere when another specialty fits better.
