It depends on biological age, not chronological age. Testosterone begins declining around age 30, with more significant changes typically appearing in the 40s and 50s. A consultation with lab work determines where you stand.
Peptides signal the body to stimulate growth hormone, accelerate healing, support immune function, and improve cognitive clarity. Common protocols include BPC-157 for recovery and Thymosin Beta-4 for inflammation.
BHRT — Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy — uses hormones chemically identical to those produced naturally by the body. For men, it typically includes testosterone and may include other hormones to restore energy, focus, muscle mass, and libido.
Yes. Botox and Dysport are among the most studied aesthetic treatments available and are equally safe and effective for men. At Veritas Backstage, injectable treatments for men are designed to preserve strong, masculine features — never feminize.
We provide a full range of services for men including Botox and Dysport, dermal fillers, microneedling with PRP, laser treatments, body contouring, and testosterone replacement therapy — all calibrated to preserve masculine features.
You may experience soreness, tightness, or bruising for 1–3 weeks. PDO threads dissolve over 6–12 months, and results can last up to 2 years as collagen forms around the threads.
The procedure typically lasts about 30 minutes. While no anesthesia is required, a topical numbing agent is applied for comfort. Most patients describe the experience as manageable.
PDO threads are most commonly placed along the jawline and mid-to-lower face, including cheeks, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. They can also be used on the neck and other areas.
The total depends on the area being treated and the coarseness of your hair. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs.
While each session noticeably reduces hair, most patients require 5–7 treatments spaced a few weeks apart for the most long-lasting results.
Yes, Venus Versa hair removal is safe for all skin types and tones. It’s designed to effectively treat a wide range of skin and hair types.
Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, HIV patients, anyone who has had cancer treatment within the last year, or individuals with bleeding disorders or recent Botox treatments should avoid microblading.
Microblading is ideal for anyone with naturally thin brows, over-tweezed or waxed brows, alopecia, brow scars, or thinning due to conditions like cancer or thyroid disorders.
Microblading is a two-step process: the Initial Session and the Perfecting Session. After healing from the first session, additional hair strokes are added during the Perfecting Session.
Most clients experience little to no pain. We apply a topical numbing cream 30–45 minutes before the procedure and continue numbing throughout the session.
Typically 12–18 months, though results may vary based on age and lifestyle. Some people experience longevity of several years.
Brow lamination is a transformative treatment that tames unruly or thinning brows by smoothing and lifting them into a more vertical position. It’s ideal for brows that are difficult to control, have gaps or sparse areas, or are thinning with age.
BHRT uses hormones chemically identical to those your body produces naturally. The process begins with a consultation with our Medical Director, Dr. John Haest, followed by comprehensive lab work. Treatment is administered through injections, pellets, creams, or troches, based on your needs and lifestyle.
NAD+ may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with active cancer, or anyone with certain chronic conditions. A consultation is required.
Absolutely. NAD+ works beautifully alongside facials, microneedling, red light therapy, and vitamin drips.
For anti-aging and rejuvenation, we recommend weekly or biweekly sessions to start, then monthly maintenance.
NAD+ promotes collagen production, cellular renewal, and DNA repair — targeting root causes of aging at a cellular level. It improves skin tone, elasticity, and radiance while supporting energy and cognitive function.
This non-surgical procedure involves injecting PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) from your own blood into targeted areas that activate the orgasm system. Growth factors rejuvenate tissue function and enhance sensation.
The Juliet Laser is excellent for any woman experiencing vaginal discomfort seeking a fast, non-surgical, and discreet solution. It’s particularly beneficial for women undergoing menopause or postpartum changes.
We advise waiting three days following the procedure to allow tissue to heal properly.
No, the Juliet Laser treatment is entirely pain-free, ensuring a comfortable experience.
For best results, we recommend a series of three treatments spaced six weeks apart. Annual maintenance treatments are suggested to sustain the benefits.
The Juliet Laser is a quick, in-office procedure that uses laser technology to address vaginal dryness, laxity, discomfort during intercourse, and incontinence. It’s completely non-invasive, requires no medication or hormones, and can fit into a lunch break.
Semaglutide is typically prescribed for individuals who are obese or overweight and have not achieved desired results through diet and exercise alone. A healthcare provider will evaluate your health status during a consultation.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These often diminish over time. Discuss any adverse effects with your healthcare provider.
Semaglutide is given as a once-weekly injection. The dosage and duration of treatment are determined by your healthcare provider based on your specific needs.
Yes, clinical studies show significant weight loss results. Many participants experienced notable reductions in body weight, particularly when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Semaglutide is a medication that mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates appetite and food intake. It leads to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness, supporting significant weight loss when combined with a healthy diet.
No. You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment. This is one of the biggest advantages of non-surgical body contouring.
The Venus Versa system can treat virtually any area, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, jawline, and facial skin. It’s also effective for cellulite, stretch marks, and fine lines.
Non-surgical body contouring reduces stubborn fat and reshapes targeted areas without surgery. At Veritas Backstage, we use the Venus Versa system with radiofrequency and pulsed electromagnetic fields to break down fat cells and tighten skin.
PiQo4 tattoo removal is not suitable for everyone. Individuals prone to keloid scarring may be more susceptible to scarring. A consultation is recommended to evaluate your specific situation.
PiQo4 combines two cutting-edge technologies to clear more colors faster, resulting in better clearance, fewer sessions, and less ghosting than other systems — including stubborn turquoise and yellow inks.
The number of treatments needed depends on the tattoo, body area, and skin color. Immediately after treatment, you’ll see whitish “frosting” over the tattoo. Swelling and redness typically subside within a few hours to days.
Your practitioner will provide before and aftercare guidelines. During the session, you’ll hear the laser fire with audible pops and feel heat similar to a mild sunburn. Sessions vary in length depending on tattoo size.
The PiQo4 laser treats a wide range of skin tones and tattoo colors. Its ultra-fast pulse duration minimizes discomfort and speeds up recovery, allowing safe removal across all skin types.
PiQo4 laser technology effectively removes tattoos of all common colors, whether amateur or professional. It targets both large and small tattoo particles, breaking them into tiny fragments that the body naturally eliminates without harming surrounding skin.
Most patients achieve optimal results with 2–6 treatments spaced 7–10 days apart, depending on the area and individual skin conditions.
Laser skin tightening is non-invasive with minimal discomfort. While you might feel slight heat from the lasers, most patients describe the process as painless with quick recovery.
Most patients describe quick, hot pinches during treatment. A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. Afterward, your skin will appear and feel mildly sunburned. You can resume normal activities immediately, though social downtime of a few days is common.
Most patients notice significant improvement after just one treatment. Initial improvements appear within 3–4 days. Optimal results, including softer lines and smoother skin, are visible within 1–3 months.
PiQo4 uses advanced picosecond technology combining photoacoustic energy with high-intensity pulses. It targets age spots, sun spots, acne scars, and more. Its non-thermal energy is generally safe for all skin types.
TriBella combines three treatments in one session for the most complete non-invasive facial rejuvenation available. Each session takes about 1.5 hours. While significant results can be achieved with one treatment, a protocol of three sessions spaced 4–5 weeks apart is recommended.
The number of sessions depends on the area and severity. For issues like brown spots, 1–2 sessions might be sufficient. However, 3–4 treatments are generally recommended for optimal results.
Each session lasts roughly 15 to 20 minutes, and you can begin seeing results after just the first treatment.
Absolutely. LED light therapy is non-invasive, non-toxic, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Celluma’s patented, shape-conforming design ensures optimal light absorption by closely contouring to the treatment area. This unique feature enhances therapeutic light delivery beyond flat-panel devices.
Low-level light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light energy to stimulate cellular activity. Our Celluma devices are FDA-cleared to treat acne, fine lines and wrinkles, muscle and joint pain, hair loss, and body contouring.
EmFace may not be suitable for individuals with metal implants, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or people with active skin infections, severe acne, or epilepsy. A consultation is recommended.
No — EmFace is completely non-invasive. You can resume normal activities immediately after each session.
A standard plan includes four treatments spaced about one week apart. Each session is quick and comfortable. Final, optimal results typically appear several weeks after completing the series.
EmFace combines Radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy (HIFES). RF heats deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen, while HIFES strengthens and tones facial muscles. Clinical studies show a 37% reduction in wrinkles and a 30% increase in muscle tone.
The Ménage-a-Peel is our signature layered chemical peel featuring two powerful natural botanicals — Noni Fruit Extract and Bakuchiol — that soothe and heal the skin after exfoliation while targeting pigmentation, texture, and fine lines.
The Micro-Infusion Facial is suitable for all skin types and tones. It effectively reduces pore size, minimizes fine lines, improves skin texture, and fades scarring.
During the Micro-Infusion Facial, we use single-use, hollow needles to create thousands of precise micro-punctures in the skin’s surface. This technique allows us to infuse customized serums deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving texture, tone, and firmness.
The Bombshell Facial combines advanced skin correction with lip blushing for red-carpet-ready results. It’s suitable for all skin types. Immediately after treatment, your skin will look smoother with reduced fine lines and lightened brown spots.
The Dom Facial targets sunspots, redness, and uneven skin tone. It’s safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. You’ll see immediate results with visibly smaller pores and a more even skin tone.
Results are visible after the first session, but a series of 3–5 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for longer-lasting effects — typically lasting several months with proper skincare.
The BB Glow Glass Skin Treatment is a non-invasive facial that uses microneedling to infuse a pigmented, light-reflecting serum into the skin. This enhances radiance, evens out skin tone, and creates a smooth, glass-like finish — often with less need for daily makeup.
Absolutely! Each session takes no longer than 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your lunch break with zero downtime.
The Glow Facial is a clinical-grade facial that delivers instant radiance. Each session takes about 30 minutes. You’ll feel a gentle suction from the applicator and slight coolness, but there’s no pain or discomfort. Results are visible immediately — your skin will look noticeably healthier, cleaner, and more rejuvenated.
Many clients see noticeable improvement after one session. For optimal collagen stimulation and long-term results, a series of treatments is often recommended. We will always guide you honestly — never overselling sessions.
After your Kybella injection, fat cells begin to break down within 10–15 minutes. Some mild inflammation is expected, with swelling lasting around 3–4 weeks. Noticeable improvement typically appears within 4–6 weeks.
Once you’ve achieved your desired contour of the chin and neck, further treatment is typically unnecessary, as the results are long-lasting. Kybella permanently destroys fat cells.
You’ll see immediate changes, but the full results will be apparent after the healing period, which takes between 10 to 30 days.
A subtle augmentation for hydration and improved lip lines typically requires just 0.5 to 1.0 cc of filler in a single 15-minute session. For more significant volume, you may need two sessions with 1 cc each.
Our biocompatible hyaluronic gel fillers are injected into the lips to improve size, shape, and surrounding areas. This treatment can also help lift a downturned mouth, resulting in a more neutral and youthful appearance.
Sculptra is commonly used to address sunken cheeks, temples, chin, and jawline. Many women also opt to treat chest wrinkles and folds for a rejuvenated appearance.
Sculptra is ideal for those looking to smooth medium to deep facial wrinkles, folds, and sunken areas. It’s safe and effective for all skin types and tones. However, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not receive Sculptra.
Sculptra is a collagen stimulator that works gradually, with results developing over weeks to months. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra rebuilds your body’s own collagen. The payoff is long-lasting — results can last 2–3 years, far exceeding the typical one-year lifespan of most fillers.
There’s no downtime required. You may experience slight tenderness, soreness, or minor bruising for a few days. It’s advised to avoid strenuous activity for a few hours after the procedure.
If you’re bothered by sagging skin, wrinkles, jowls, or loss of volume in your cheeks, you may be a good candidate. This treatment is suitable for men and women aged 30 to 80. However, it is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Yes, because it’s minimally invasive, many patients choose to have the procedure on the same day as their consultation.
A Liquid Facelift is a non-surgical procedure that lifts, plumps, fills, smooths, and re-contours the face using injectable dermal fillers. It can restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and define the jawline without surgery.
Both are neuromodulators that work the same way, but they differ slightly in formulation. Dysport tends to spread more, which can be an advantage for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Your provider will recommend the best option based on your anatomy and goals.
Botox and Dysport are non-surgical anti-aging treatments that smooth fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. They are most commonly used between the brows, on crow’s feet, and across the forehead. Results typically last 3–4 months.
NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It powers the body’s energy production, supports DNA repair, and regulates cellular aging processes. NAD+ levels decline significantly with age, contributing to fatigue, cognitive slowdown, and reduced skin vitality. NAD+ IV therapy delivers this molecule directly into the bloodstream at therapeutic concentrations, restoring cellular function more effectively than oral supplementation. At Veritas Backstage, NAD+ is available as a full IV drip or as a quick-dose injection, and is also a component of our Millionaire Maker drip protocol.
IV vitamin therapy delivers essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous drip. Unlike oral supplements, IV therapy bypasses the digestive system entirely, allowing the body to absorb a much higher concentration of nutrients immediately. At Veritas Backstage, IV protocols are organized by outcome: energy and cellular renewal, immunity and recovery, beauty and skin support, and weight and metabolism. Sessions are administered by a registered nurse and typically take 30 to 60 minutes. A brief consultation helps determine which protocol is right for your current health goals.
A vitamin drip, or IV infusion, delivers a larger volume of nutrients directly into the bloodstream over 30 to 60 minutes. This allows for a full, therapeutic-dose protocol targeting multiple outcomes at once, such as immunity, energy, or recovery. A vitamin shot is a quick intramuscular or subcutaneous injection delivering a single targeted nutrient in under five minutes. At Veritas Backstage, shots like Neurocharge (B12), Super MIC (lipotropic blend), and Cell Armor (glutathione) are ideal for patients who want targeted support between drip sessions or as a standalone addition to their care plan.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body, directing cellular repair, immune response, and tissue regeneration. At Veritas Backstage, four peptide protocols are available by clinical consultation: NAD+ for cellular energy and anti-aging; BPC-157 for gut repair, joint healing, and orthopedic recovery; GHK-Cu (copper peptide) for skin regeneration, hair regrowth, and wound healing; and Thymosin Beta-4 for injury recovery, immune support, and inflammation reduction. All peptide therapies require a consultation and are administered as part of a structured care plan.
At Veritas Backstage in Austin, Texas, IV drip sessions range from $200 to $300 depending on the protocol. Vitamin shots start at $15. The Cellular Health Care membership at $59 per month includes one Elite Flush Drip monthly, up to 20% off your first Deluxe Drip each month, and 15% off additional drips and shots. Add-on boosts are available for $50 per session, or $25 for members. NAD+ IV drip pricing is available by consultation.
