Most people come to a med spa with the same underlying frustration: they’ve done everything right — the serums, the SPF, the consistent routine — and their skin still isn’t reflecting how they feel on the inside. Fine lines have deepened. Skin tone looks uneven. Things have shifted in ways that no moisturizer is going to fix.
That frustration is valid, and it points to something important. The skin concerns that bother you most aren’t surface-level problems. They’re the result of collagen loss, structural changes, and cellular slowdown that happen gradually over time — and addressing them requires more than topical care.
At MAKI Med Spa in Winter Springs, Florida, we take a fundamentally different approach to facial treatments. Rather than offering a menu of one-size-fits-all procedures, Dr. Giuliano leads every patient through a diagnostic consultation first — assessing your skin’s actual condition, your underlying anatomy, and your long-term goals before a single treatment is recommended. The result is a personalized plan that targets the root cause of your concerns, not just the symptoms.
This guide walks through the advanced treatments MAKI offers, how each one works, who it’s best suited for, and how to think about combining them for results that go deeper and last longer.
Why Advanced Med Spa Treatments Outperform Standard Facials
Standard facials — even high-quality ones — work primarily at the surface. They cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate, which can leave your skin looking refreshed for days or weeks. But they don’t reach the deeper layers where collagen lives, where fat compartments shift, or where the structural scaffolding of your face gradually changes with age.
Advanced med spa treatments work differently. They use targeted energy, biologics, or biocompatible materials to trigger your skin’s own regenerative processes — stimulating new collagen, tightening lax tissue, restoring volume, and improving tone at a cellular level. The results are measurable, progressive, and in many cases, long-lasting.
At MAKI, the treatments we offer aren’t positioned as cosmetic band-aids. They’re clinical tools, applied with precision, to help your skin function and appear more like it did when it was building collagen efficiently on its own.
MAKI’s Diagnostic-First Approach
Before recommending any treatment, Dr. Giuliano conducts a thorough skin and facial assessment. This isn’t a formality — it’s the foundation of effective care.
Many patients arrive at med spas having already decided what they want. They’ve read about a specific device or seen a result on social media. Sometimes that instinct is right. Often, though, the treatment they’ve identified targets a symptom rather than the underlying cause — and a different approach would serve them far better.
Dr. Giuliano’s diagnostic process identifies the specific combination of factors driving your skin concerns: volume loss, skin laxity, textural changes, acne activity, vascular irregularities, or a mix of several. From there, a treatment plan is built — sometimes a single focused protocol, sometimes a layered combination strategy designed to address multiple issues simultaneously.
Patients throughout Central Florida — from Oviedo and Lake Mary to Longwood, Casselberry, and the greater Orlando metro — come to MAKI specifically because this level of clinical evaluation isn’t standard at most med spas.
Advanced Facial Treatments at MAKI Med Spa & Wellness
Agnes RF: Precision Skin Tightening and Contouring
Agnes RF is one of the most targeted radiofrequency devices available in aesthetic medicine. Unlike broad-surface RF treatments, Agnes uses insulated microneedles to deliver energy to a precise depth within specific tissue — making it uniquely effective for areas that are difficult to treat with other technologies.
At MAKI, Agnes RF is used to address a range of concerns including lower eyelid laxity, jowl softening, acne and sebaceous hyperplasia, under-chin contraction, and submental fat reduction. The device’s ability to selectively target sebaceous glands also makes it one of the most effective long-term solutions for patients dealing with persistent acne or enlarged pores who haven’t found lasting relief through other methods.
Most patients require a series of treatments, and results develop progressively over several months as collagen remodeling takes place. Downtime is typically minimal and manageable.
PDO Threads: Structural Lift Without Surgery
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to create a mechanical lift and — more importantly — to stimulate a prolonged collagen response in the surrounding tissue.
PDO threads at MAKI are used to address facial sagging, brow position, jawline definition, and neck laxity — all without surgery, general anesthesia, or extended recovery time. The threads themselves dissolve over several months, but the collagen they stimulate continues to provide structural support well beyond that window.
Results are subtle and natural-looking. They don’t freeze expression or dramatically alter your appearance — they restore the lift and definition that gradually diminishes as collagen production slows with age. For many patients, PDO threads are an ideal bridge between injectables and surgical intervention, offering meaningful lift when volume alone isn’t the issue.
Ideal candidates are typically patients in their mid-30s through 50s who notice early to moderate tissue descent and want a solution that works with their anatomy rather than masking it.
PRP and PRF: Regenerative Skin Renewal
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are biologics derived from your own blood. A small sample is drawn and processed to concentrate the growth factors and healing proteins naturally present in your platelets. When reintroduced into the skin — through microneedling, injection, or topical application — these growth factors accelerate cellular repair, stimulate collagen synthesis, and improve overall skin quality.
PRF is the newer, more advanced formulation. It contains a higher concentration of platelets and growth factors, and releases them more slowly due to its fibrin matrix — producing a more sustained regenerative effect compared to traditional PRP.
At MAKI, PRP and PRF are used both as standalone skin rejuvenation treatments and as adjuncts to other procedures. Applied in combination with microneedling, Agnes RF, or PDO threads, they can significantly enhance and prolong results. For patients who prefer to avoid synthetic injectables, regenerative biologics like PRP and PRF offer a compelling all-natural alternative that works with your body’s own healing mechanisms.
Exosomes: The Frontier of Regenerative Aesthetics
Exosomes represent one of the most exciting developments in regenerative medicine. These nano-sized extracellular vesicles act as cellular messengers — carrying proteins, lipids, and genetic material that instruct surrounding cells to repair, regenerate, and perform more optimally.
In aesthetic applications, exosomes are used to accelerate healing, amplify collagen stimulation, and improve skin quality in ways that go beyond what growth factors alone can achieve. At MAKI, exosome therapy is typically integrated into treatment protocols as a recovery and results-enhancement tool — applied following energy-based treatments or microneedling to amplify the skin’s regenerative response.
For patients dealing with advanced skin aging, prolonged sun damage, or inflammatory skin conditions, exosomes offer a level of cellular support that represents a meaningful step forward from conventional regenerative treatments.
Sculptra: Volume Restoration Through Collagen Stimulation
Most facial volume loss — the hollowing of the cheeks, the deepening of nasolabial folds, the flattening of temples — is a direct result of age-related collagen and fat compartment decline. Sculptra addresses this at the source.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) doesn’t simply fill space. It stimulates your own collagen production over time, gradually restoring facial volume in a way that builds naturally over several months. Results are subtle and incremental — which is precisely why they tend to look so natural.
At MAKI, Sculptra is used as part of a longer-term facial rejuvenation strategy, often in combination with structural treatments like PDO threads or skin quality treatments like PRP and exosomes. A typical series involves two to three treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart, with results that can last two years or longer.
Neuromodulators: Precision Relaxation for Expression Lines
Neuromodulators — including Botox and Dysport — remain one of the most effective tools in aesthetic medicine for softening dynamic expression lines, preventing deeper wrinkle formation, and contributing to a rested appearance without altering your natural look.
At MAKI, neuromodulators are administered with an emphasis on anatomy-informed precision. Dr. Giuliano’s approach avoids the overdone, frozen appearance that results from imprecise or excessive placement — instead focusing on natural softening that preserves your expressiveness while targeting the lines that concern you most.
Common treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, crow’s feet, lip lines, and neck bands. Neuromodulators are also used preventively in younger patients to slow the deepening of expression lines before they become etched into the skin.
The Case for Combination Treatment
One of the most important things Dr. Giuliano communicates to patients is that most meaningful facial rejuvenation isn’t the result of a single treatment — it’s the result of a well-designed combination protocol that addresses multiple layers of the aging process simultaneously.
Skin laxity, volume loss, texture changes, and dynamic lines are all separate issues that respond to different interventions. A patient dealing with early jowling, dull skin tone, and expression lines, for example, might benefit most from a combination of PDO threads for structural lift, PRP for skin quality, and a neuromodulator to soften active lines — each addressing a distinct problem, together producing a result that no single treatment could achieve.
This layered approach is the foundation of regenerative aesthetics, and it’s what separates MAKI’s treatment philosophy from a more transactional, single-service model.
What to Expect: Consultation Through Recovery
Every MAKI patient journey begins with a consultation, not a treatment room. Dr. Giuliano reviews your health history, assesses your skin and facial structure, and asks the right questions before anything else — including what results you’re hoping for and what your tolerance for downtime looks like.
Most of the treatments MAKI offers involve minimal to moderate downtime. Agnes RF and PDO threads may involve a few days of swelling or redness. Regenerative treatments like PRP and exosomes typically have minimal recovery. Sculptra and neuromodulators involve little to no downtime for most patients.
Post-treatment care varies by procedure but generally includes avoiding sun exposure, refraining from aggressive skincare actives during the healing window, and staying well-hydrated. Your provider will walk you through specific aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment and skin type.
Results from regenerative and collagen-stimulating treatments develop gradually — sometimes over several months. This is a feature, not a limitation. The slow, natural progression of collagen remodeling is what produces results that look like you, only better.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes MAKI Med Spa different from other med spas in Central Florida? MAKI is led by Dr. Giuliano and takes a diagnostic-first, regenerative approach to aesthetics. Every treatment recommendation follows a thorough skin and facial assessment — not a predetermined menu. MAKI specializes in advanced treatments like Agnes RF, PDO threads, PRP and PRF, exosomes, and Sculptra that address the structural and cellular causes of skin aging rather than surface symptoms alone.
Which facial treatment is best for skin tightening? Agnes RF and PDO threads are MAKI’s primary skin tightening tools. Agnes RF uses precision radiofrequency energy to contract tissue and stimulate collagen at a targeted depth. PDO threads provide a mechanical lift while also triggering a sustained collagen response. For many patients, a combination of both — layered with PRP or exosomes — produces the most significant and lasting tightening results.
Is PRP or PRF better for skin rejuvenation? PRF is generally considered the more advanced formulation. It contains a higher concentration of growth factors and releases them more slowly through a fibrin matrix, producing a more sustained regenerative effect. Both are effective, and the right choice depends on your specific skin concerns and treatment goals — something Dr. Giuliano assesses during your consultation.
How long do results from Sculptra last? Sculptra results typically last two years or longer. Because it works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production over time, results build gradually and naturally. Most patients undergo a series of two to three treatment sessions to achieve their desired outcome.
Can these treatments be combined in a single visit? In many cases, yes. Dr. Giuliano frequently designs combination protocols that layer complementary treatments — for example, PDO threads with PRP, or Agnes RF followed by exosome application — to enhance and prolong results. Whether treatments are performed together or in a planned sequence depends on your skin’s condition and your specific goals.
Do I need to live in Winter Springs to be a patient at MAKI? No. MAKI sees patients from throughout Central Florida, including Oviedo, Lake Mary, Longwood, Casselberry, and the greater Orlando metro area. Patients travel to Winter Springs specifically for Dr. Giuliano’s expertise and MAKI’s regenerative approach.
