Neuromodulators
Smooth & soften
Ease fine lines and quietly prevent new ones while keeping every smile, squint, and raised brow unmistakably yours. The whole art is in the dose, the map, and the restraint.

Physician-led, always
Counted carefully. Rounded kindly.
Signature treatments
A plan, not a menu.
Every face is different — so is every plan. They all start from the same method: assess, plan, hold the line. We read what your skin actually needs, recommend only what earns its place, and stop well before “done.”
Plans built around
- Fine lines
- Lost volume
- Dull texture
- Uneven tone
- Skin laxity
- First-time treatment
- Pre-event glow
- Subtle lip shape
- Maintenance plans
- Natural-looking refresh
Dermal fillers
Restore & lift
Replace only the volume time quietly borrows. Soft contour through cheeks, lips, and jawline, balanced to your features and never pushed beyond them.
- Lip filler
- Cheek & jaw
- Biostimulators
The restraint method
The most important part of your plan is what we leave alone.
Before anything is booked, we map what can change, what should wait, and what already belongs to you.
That pause is medical judgment, not hesitation.
Skin health
Glow & renew
Resurface, hydrate, and brighten for that lit-from-within finish. Medical-grade care that still feels like a facial you can exhale through.
- HydraFacial
- Chemical peels
- Microneedling
Laser & body
Sculpt & define
Refine tone, texture, and contour with physician-cleared technology. Calm sessions, gradual results, and candidacy checked before anything begins.
- Laser resurfacing
- Skin tightening
- Body contouring
Plans typically start from a few hundred dollars. Ranges are shared before anything is booked.
Treatment names are fictional; the restraint logic is the point.
Representative results
Refreshed, never overdone.
Representative outcomes from our Washington studio — the kind you’d only notice if we told you. Drag each portrait to see the before; individual plans and results vary.

Before-and-afters lovingly un-retouched. We resisted the airbrush. Mostly.

The hands you’re in.
Dr. Carlos Alaniz
Founder & Medical Director · MD · Board-certified physician
“I'd rather you look like you had a great month than a procedure.”
Carlos opened the studio in Washington to prove a point: medical-grade care doesn't have to feel like a hospital. Every plan he designs starts with the face in front of him — candidacy, timing, comfort, and the restraint to leave well enough alone. If a treatment won't earn its place, he'll say so.
- Board-certified physician
- Fellowship-trained in facial anatomy
- 12,000+ injectable treatments
- Medical-grade safety protocols
- Practicing in Washington since 2015
- A devout believer in "less"
What to expect
Unhurried, start to finish.
No pressure, no surprises — a calm path from first conversation to lasting glow.
Consultation
A real conversation, physician-led. We look, we listen, and we cover candidacy, comfort, pricing, and what we'd hold off on.
Your plan
One or two things worth doing — never a menu of five, and never a mystery number at the end.
Your treatment
Unhurried and comfortable. We talk downtime before anything starts; most people are back to their day the same afternoon.
Glow & maintain
Honest timelines and a light touch, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Client notes
In their own words.
Not five-star confetti — just a few notes from people who came in unsure and left feeling like themselves. Read them at your own pace.
“I came in braced for a sales pitch and left with a plan for one thing — not five. A month later my sister asked if I'd finally started sleeping. That's the whole review.”
Margaret H.Georgetown · Botox · returning client
Lip filler · first visit
“Booked it on my lunch hour expecting to feel rushed. Instead someone actually talked me out of more than I'd asked for. Back at my desk by two, no one the wiser.”
Walked over from the office. Walked back looking like the same morning.
Consultation · skin
“I'd seen three places that handed me a price sheet before they'd looked at my face. Here they asked questions first, then told me to wait six months on half of it. I trust that.”
Microneedling · series
“Nobody can tell I had anything done, which was exactly the point. My makeup just sits better and I've stopped studying my pores in the elevator mirror.”
Facial · membership
“A few blocks from work and somehow the calmest hour of my week. They never run late, never push the add-ons, and remember what we talked about last time.”
The valet remembers my name. So does the front desk.

Before you book
The practical questions.
The things people usually wonder before they pick up the phone. If yours isn’t here, we’ll cover it at your consultation — no pressure either way.
ALNZ MedSpa
Start with an honest plan.
A complimentary consultation with ALNZ MedSpa is less about choosing a treatment and more about deciding what, if anything, is worth doing. Here’s what the visit actually includes:
- A sit-down with Dr. Alaniz — a board-certified physician, not a coordinator.
- An honest read on your skin, and what’s genuinely worth doing.
- A custom plan you keep — including the treatments we’d hold off on.
- Clear pricing ranges — skin treatments begin around $175, with injectable and series-based plans quoted before treatment.
