Self-Image MedSpa

Self-Image MedSpa is owned by Tatiana Kharina, who also works as its injector. The practice says its mission is to support clients' overall health as well as their appearance, and it describes its aim as combining beauty and wellness in each visit. Clients travel in from Avon, Canton, West Hartford, Glastonbury and Simsbury as well as Farmington. The clinic works by appointment only, with weekday hours from 10:00am to 3:00pm and Saturday hours from 11:00am to 2:00pm.

The injectables menu starts with neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport, which relax facial muscles to soften dynamic lines like crow's feet, frown lines and forehead lines. Neurotoxin sessions are also used for bunny lines, chin dimpling, jaw slimming, teeth grinding, gummy smiles and neck bands. A session takes about 10 to 15 minutes with no downtime, and the business says results usually show within 3 to 7 days and last around 3 to 4 months. Dermal fillers are available in hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid and collagen stimulators, placed in the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, jawline and chin, and under the eyes. Swelling, redness or bruising can last 1 to 5 days. Fat-dissolving injections target fat under the chin or other specific areas.

Hair restoration combines PRP made from the client's own plasma, scalp mesotherapy blends of vitamins, amino acids and peptides, and biotin injections intended to strengthen hair strands for thinning hair. Each client receives a tailored plan and a home care kit. The wider mesotherapy menu uses non-invasive injections of vitamin, antioxidant and nutrient blends for anti-aging, brightening and hair goals, with redness or swelling typically settling within 1 to 3 days.

Genius RF Microneedling sends radio frequency energy through micro-needles into the dermis to encourage collagen, using the Cynosure Lutronic Genius device. Treatments take about 15 minutes to an hour depending on the area. Pinkness and swelling usually fade within 24 to 36 hours, though full resolution can take up to a week. Changes tend to appear several weeks later, with texture improving gradually over about six months. According to the FAQ, 3 or 4 treatments can give the best results. The business says the device can be used on all skin types and colors, including tanned skin. Its RF and vacuum body treatment is non-surgical and painless, marketed for fat reduction, skin tightening, cellulite reduction, lymphatic drainage and body contouring, with gradual changes expected from consistent sessions.
