Question 1

What treatments do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Facials and skin treatments including microneedling and dermaplaning, injectables (neurotoxins, dermal fillers, PRF and EZGel), laser treatments from hair reduction to Tetra CO2 CoolPeel resurfacing, hormone replacement pellet therapy, and vitamin and wellness therapies including IV infusions and NAD+. Each plan is built around what your skin and your labs actually show.

Question 2

Do I need a consultation first?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is not a formality. We need your health history and you need to know what you are agreeing to. The consultation runs about forty-five minutes and there is no obligation to book treatment at the end of it.

Question 3

Are your treatments safe?

Accepted Answer

Every treatment is medically supervised. Nancy Walker is a board-certified nurse practitioner, and we use FDA-cleared devices and products. Safe does not mean risk-free, though, and part of the consultation is going through the actual risks for you specifically.

Question 4

How much downtime will I have?

Accepted Answer

It depends entirely on the treatment. IV therapy, vitamin injections, and most injectables are lunch-hour appointments. Microneedling and laser resurfacing will leave you red and flaking for several days. We tell you which one you are signing up for in concrete terms before you book, not afterward.

Question 5

When is the best time of year for laser treatments?

Accepted Answer

October through March. Laser and light treatments work best on skin that is not tanned, and freshly treated skin is more sun-sensitive for a couple of weeks. At 6,920 feet, strong sun is most days of the year. If you ski, tell us and we will schedule between your trips.

Question 6

What is hormone pellet therapy and how do I know if I need it?

Accepted Answer

A small bioidentical hormone pellet is placed under the skin and releases steadily over three to six months. We start with blood work, not with a pellet. If your labs and symptoms line up we will talk about it; if they point somewhere else we will tell you to see your physician.

Question 7

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through Cherry. Checking your options takes about a minute and uses a soft credit check, which does not affect your score. We make no lending decisions and never see your credit file.

Question 8

Where are you and when are you open?

Accepted Answer

1214 Mechem Dr Suite A, Ruidoso, NM 88345. Tuesday through Friday 8am to 4pm, Saturday 8am to noon, closed Sunday and Monday. Call 575-200-1915.

Question 9

Is there a med spa in Ruidoso, New Mexico?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mountain Medical Spa is at 1214 Mechem Drive, Suite A, in Ruidoso. It is a nurse-practitioner-led medical spa offering facials and skin treatments, injectables, laser treatments, hormone replacement pellet therapy, and IV and vitamin therapies. Open Tuesday to Friday 8am to 4pm and Saturday 8am to noon.

Question 10

How do I choose a med spa in Ruidoso?

Accepted Answer

Ask four questions, and ask them of anywhere you are considering, not only of us. Who actually performs the treatment, and what are their credentials? Does a licensed provider examine you and take a history before anything is injected or fired at your skin? Is the equipment maintained in a room set up for it, or wheeled between rooms? And will they tell you when a treatment is wrong for you? A practice that answers all four plainly is a reasonable choice. One that will not answer them is telling you something.

Question 11

Do I have to drive to Las Cruces, El Paso or Lubbock for injectables?

Accepted Answer

No. Neurotoxins including Xeomin, Jeuveau and Botox, dermal fillers, and PRF are all done here in Ruidoso. People used to drive two hours to Las Cruces or four to Lubbock for this, which is a large part of why the practice exists.

Question 12

Where can I get Botox in Ruidoso?

Accepted Answer

Here, on Mechem Drive. Neurotoxin is administered by Nancy Walker, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, MEP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with advanced certification in medical aesthetics. We carry Xeomin, Jeuveau and Botox, which are not interchangeable in dose, and which one suits you is decided at your consultation.

Question 13

How much does Botox cost in Ruidoso?

Accepted Answer

Neurotoxin is usually priced per unit, and how many units you need depends on the area treated and on your own muscle strength, so a number quoted before anyone has looked at your face is a guess. You get a real figure at your consultation before anything is booked, and financing through Cherry is available for larger plans. Call 575-200-1915 and we will talk through the range.

Question 14

What is the difference between a med spa and a day spa?

Accepted Answer

A day spa offers treatments that do not break the skin or alter tissue: massage, basic facials, waxing. A medical spa offers treatments that do, which is why they are performed under a medical license after an examination. Injectables, medical-grade lasers, prescription skincare, and hormone therapy all belong in the second category. If somewhere is offering those without a clinician assessing you first, that is worth questioning.

Question 15

Who does laser hair removal in Ruidoso?

Accepted Answer

We do, in a dedicated laser suite where the devices stay calibrated instead of being moved between rooms. Laser hair reduction takes a series of six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart, and starting in fall means finishing before summer.

Question 16

Can I get IV therapy or NAD+ in Ruidoso?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in a room set up for sitting through an infusion comfortably. IV vitamin infusions run 30 to 60 minutes; NAD+ infusions have to be run slowly and can take considerably longer. We take a history first, and there are conditions that make a bag of fluids the wrong idea, so tell us your medications and diagnoses properly.

Question 17

Do you see visitors who are staying in Ruidoso?

Accepted Answer

Often. Altitude and dry air catch people out, and a lot of first visits are visitors from Texas or the Gulf who arrived dehydrated. Bring your medication list. We will not book a laser or resurfacing treatment for someone flying home in two days, because that is not a result you would thank us for.

Question 18

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs, Alto, Capitan, Nogal, Mescalero and Carrizozo, plus the rest of Lincoln County. People also drive in from Alamogordo and Cloudcroft, about an hour, and from Roswell, about 90 minutes.
