Many Lafayette patients want natural-looking results, and that is how Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry works. She takes a conservative approach to injectables, starting with a lower dose and adding more at a two-week follow-up if needed. Overcorrection is hard to undo, so she builds results gradually.
Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry completed her training at UCSF Fresno, is board certified in Family Medicine, and spent more than ten years in primary care and preventive medicine before completing advanced training in aesthetic medicine.
Honest advice is part of every consultation. A dermatologist or surgeon may treat some concerns better, and some skin conditions need to be addressed before any device treatment. Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry will tell you this during your consultation, before you pay a deposit.
Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry performs all treatments at our Alamo office, an easy drive from Lamorinda. Each section below explains what the treatment does, who it is best for, what to expect at your appointment, and what recovery looks like. Individual results vary.
Botox and Dysport relax the muscles that crease the skin over time, softening forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet. They can also help with jaw clenching. Injections take just a few minutes using a very fine needle. Results appear within a week and typically last three to four months.
Dermal fillers restore facial volume using hyaluronic acid gel in the cheeks, temples, smile lines, or lips. For lips, Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry uses small amounts to improve shape and hydration rather than add size. Appointments take 30 to 45 minutes, including numbing. Swelling is usually most noticeable the next morning and settles over several days. Results last six to 18 months.
SKINVIVE improves the look and feel of your cheek skin using tiny droplets of hyaluronic acid rather than adding volume. It is a great option if your skin still looks dull even though you moisturize regularly. The appointment is short, and any small raised bumps fade within a day. Results can last about six months.
Kybella reduces under-chin fullness with injections of deoxycholic acid, which permanently destroys the treated fat cells. It works best for patients with good skin elasticity. Swelling is noticeable for one to two weeks after each session, so plan around travel or events. Most patients need two to four sessions, spaced about a month apart.
These treatments work by signaling your skin to repair and renew itself from within rather than aggressively resurfacing it from the outside. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) uses a natural concentration of your own blood to release growth factors slowly over several days, while PDGF provides an isolated, high-potency growth factor boost that speeds recovery and firms a crepey texture after microneedling.
PDRN relies on purified salmon DNA fragments to deeply hydrate, calm inflammation, and restore compromised skin barriers. For those seeking immediate tightening without needles or downtime, PRX delivers a needle-free topical treatment that brightens and firms without visible peeling. Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry frequently pairs these therapies to target both structural firmness and overall skin quality in a single treatment plan.
Microneedling creates tiny, controlled punctures that prompt the skin to produce fresh collagen. Over a series of sessions, it softens acne scars and refines pores. RF microneedling adds heat deeper in the skin, making it more effective for loose skin along the jaw and under the chin. We apply numbing cream for 30 minutes before treatment. Your skin may feel pink and tight for one to three days.
Microneedling with PRP pairs the collagen-building effect of microneedling with growth factors drawn from your own blood, which makes it a common choice for acne scars and dull skin. Your visit starts with a small blood draw that spins in a centrifuge while the numbing cream takes effect. Dr. Chaudhry then applies the PRP during and after the microneedling pass, so it absorbs through the channels the needles create. Recovery matches standard microneedling, with redness settling over two to three days.
PRP hair rejuvenation delivers platelet-rich plasma into thinning areas of the scalp to support the follicles you still have. It works best when you start early, so a widening part is worth addressing now. Your visit starts with a small blood draw, which we spin down to concentrate the platelets. We then numb the scalp and place a series of small injections across the thinning areas. Any soreness fades within a day. Dr. Chaudhry typically starts with three to four sessions, one month apart.
An IPL photofacial uses light pulses to break up sun damage and even out redness, and it works especially well on the face and chest after years of sun exposure. Sessions take 20 to 30 minutes and feel like quick snaps against the skin, after which dark spots lift and flake off over about a week. Most treatment plans include three to six sessions. The same technology drives our hair removal treatment, which heats the pigment inside each follicle to reduce regrowth over time. Dark hair responds fastest, and results build with each session as the laser catches more follicles during their growth phase. Shave the area beforehand and avoid sun exposure. Appointments take 15 to 45 minutes, and most areas need six to eight sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
A medical-grade chemical peel uses stronger acids than store-bought products to clear pigment and smooth rough texture. It is commonly used for melasma, acne marks, sun damage, and dull skin tone. Application takes only a few minutes, and the peel continues working over the following days. Light peels cause two to three days of flaking, while medium peels take closer to a week.
HydraFacial cleans out pores and hydrates the skin with serums in about 40 minutes, with no flaking or downtime. It is a good choice for congested skin or when you want to look your best before an event. The treatment feels like cool suction moving across your skin. Many patients book it monthly between injectable appointments.
Longevity medicine looks beyond your skin to your overall health, drawing on Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry’s years in preventive care. Your visit covers your health history and long-term goals, which she turns into a plan you can maintain. It is a great place to start if you want your skin and your overall health considered together.
At Skin Artistry Clinic, a licensed physician performs every treatment, which is worth confirming wherever you book. Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry uses only FDA-approved injectables, including Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, and Kybella, as well as FDA-cleared light-based and radiofrequency devices. Dr. Chaudhry opens every sterile supply in front of you and drops used needles straight into a sharps container. We clean each treatment room before the next patient arrives. Our office is HIPAA-compliant and ADA accessible. After your visit, you will receive written aftercare instructions, and you can text Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry at 925-404-4293 with any questions.
Pricing depends on your personal treatment plan, so you will receive a quote at your consultation rather than from a fixed menu. The number of Botox units, filler syringes, or sessions you need determines the cost, and we provide the full total before scheduling your visit. Cherry offers payment plans if you prefer to pay in monthly installments. Visit our specials page for current promotions.
Our Alamo office is about eight miles southeast of downtown Lafayette, near Alamo Plaza on Danville Boulevard. Most patients take Highway 24 east to I-680 south and exit at Stone Valley Road. If you prefer to avoid the freeway, take Olympic Boulevard through Walnut Creek to South Main Street, which becomes Danville Boulevard.
Typical drive times:
Lafayette and Alamo are both in Contra Costa County, separated by a ridge that Highway 24 and I-680 wrap around.

Not with a conservative approach, which is how Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry starts. She uses a lower dose at your first appointment and adds more at a two-week follow-up if needed. The goal is to soften lines while keeping your natural expressions. Results vary depending on muscle strength.
Yes, with extra care around sun exposure. IPL targets pigment, so a tan increases the risk of side effects. If you stay covered and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, you can be treated year-round. Many patients who spend a lot of time in the sun prefer to schedule these treatments in the fall or winter.
Yes. Men often book Botox for forehead and frown lines, Kybella for under-chin fullness, hair removal, and PRP for thinning hair. Men and women have different facial anatomy, so Dr. Faiqa Chaudhry adjusts dosing and injection patterns to create natural-looking results.
