TAP MedSpa Reviews: Why Mustang Oklahoma Patients Keep Coming Back

What Patients Say About TAP MedSpa

TAP MedSpa in Mustang, Oklahoma holds a 4.8-star rating on Google, and the reviews tell a consistent story: patients feel heard, they receive personalized care, and their results look natural. Whether they came in for Botox, fillers, or medically supervised weight loss, they leave with a clear treatment plan and a provider they trust. That’s not an accident — it’s the direct result of how Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP approaches every single patient encounter.

The Best of Mustang Award — What It Means

TAP MedSpa is a Best of Mustang Award recipient — an honor voted on by the local community, not selected by an industry panel. This award reflects genuine community trust and the kind of reputation that’s built one patient at a time over years of consistent, quality care. It’s one thing to market yourself as the best in the area; it’s another to be recognized by the people you serve.

Why Patients Travel From Across the OKC Metro

TAP MedSpa patients come from Yukon, Edmond, Oklahoma City, El Reno, and Chickasha — not because they don’t have other options nearby, but because Tanja’s clinical credentials and personalized approach are worth the drive. A DNP APRN CNP has a higher level of clinical training than most injectors in the area, and patients who have experienced both can feel the difference.

What New Patients Experience at TAP MedSpa

New patients at TAP MedSpa typically begin with the Optic Elite Skin Analysis, a comprehensive imaging system that assesses the full picture of your skin health — including areas of concern that aren’t visible to the naked eye. From there, Tanja builds a personalized treatment plan based on your goals, budget, and timeline. There’s no pressure, no package upselling, and no generic protocol. Every plan is built for the individual.

If you’re coming in for Botox, Tanja will assess your facial anatomy and discuss realistic expectations. If it’s weight loss, she’ll review your health history before recommending semaglutide or tirzepatide. If it’s fillers, she’ll explain the approach, the products, and the timeline. You’ll leave your first appointment knowing exactly what to expect next. Learn more about Tanja’s background and approach at tapmedspa.com.

A Provider You Can Trust for the Long Term

What keeps TAP MedSpa patients coming back isn’t just the results — it’s the relationship. Aesthetic medicine works best as an ongoing partnership between provider and patient, one that evolves as your goals and skin change over time. Tanja is committed to that long-term relationship. She remembers your history, she tracks your progress, and she adjusts your plan as needed. That’s a different model from the high-volume, fast-turnover clinics that prioritize throughput over outcomes.

Is Tirzepatide Better Than Semaglutide for Weight Loss? What Oklahoma Patients Need to Know


Tirzepatide vs Semaglutide Weight Loss at The Aesthetics Place MedSpa Mustang Oklahoma

The GLP-1 Landscape: Two Strong Options for Weight Loss

If you’ve been researching medical weight loss options in Oklahoma, you’ve likely come across both semaglutide (marketed as Ozempic and Wegovy) and tirzepatide (marketed as Mounjaro and Zepbound). Both are GLP-1 receptor agonists that suppress appetite, slow gastric emptying, and help regulate blood sugar — all of which contribute to significant, sustained weight loss. But there are real differences between them, and understanding those differences can help you have a more informed conversation with your provider.


How Each Medication Works

Semaglutide works by mimicking GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that signals satiety to the brain, slows digestion, and reduces appetite. It’s a once-weekly injection that’s been well-studied for weight loss, with strong clinical trial data behind it.


Tirzepatide has a dual mechanism: it activates both GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. The GIP pathway adds an additional layer of appetite suppression and appears to enhance the body’s metabolic response. This dual action is what makes tirzepatide particularly potent — and it’s why the clinical trial results for tirzepatide have exceeded those of semaglutide head-to-head.


The Clinical Trial Data: What the Numbers Show

The STEP clinical trial program for semaglutide showed an average weight loss of approximately 14.9% of body weight over 68 weeks in patients without diabetes. The SURMOUNT trial program for tirzepatide showed even more impressive results, with patients losing an average of 20.9% of body weight over 72 weeks at the highest dose. That’s roughly a 6 percentage point difference — which translates to meaningful real-world outcomes for patients with significant weight to lose.


Side Effects: How Do They Compare?

Both medications share similar side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and fatigue are the most commonly reported, particularly during dose escalation. These typically improve over time as the body adjusts. Some clinical data suggests tirzepatide may be better tolerated for some patients than semaglutide, though this varies by individual. Proper dose titration — starting low and increasing gradually — is the most effective way to minimize side effects, which is one reason supervised medical weight loss is strongly preferable to DIY approaches.


Cost and Accessibility

Both medications can be costly without insurance coverage. Semaglutide is generally slightly more affordable in the compounded or brand-name market. Tirzepatide tends to be priced higher, though the gap has narrowed as availability has expanded. TAP MedSpa offers competitive pricing on both options and will help you weigh cost against efficacy during your consultation. Visit our medical weight loss page at tapmedspa.com for current pricing.


How Tanja Makes the Recommendation

Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP evaluates each patient individually before recommending a medication. She considers your weight loss goals, health history, medications you’re already taking, and your risk profile. For patients who haven’t tried either medication, she may start with semaglutide and transition to tirzepatide if results plateau or if you want to maximize outcomes. For patients with a significant amount of weight to lose and no contraindications, tirzepatide may be the better starting point. The decision is always personalized — not protocol-driven.


Start Your Oklahoma Weight Loss Program at TAP MedSpa

TAP MedSpa in Mustang, Oklahoma offers supervised semaglutide and tirzepatide programs for patients throughout the OKC metro, including Yukon, Edmond, El Reno, and Chickasha. To schedule a consultation, book online at tapmedspa.com or call (405) 256-6060. The Aesthetics Place MedSpa is located at 543 E State Hwy 152 Suite 101, Mustang, OK 73064.

Nasolabial Fold Filler Oklahoma: Treating Smile Lines at TAP MedSpa in Mustang

[PHOTO: nasolabial fold filler result or lower face treatment — natural-looking before/after]

Understanding Nasolabial Folds and Why They Deepen

Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. Everyone has them — they’re a natural part of facial structure. But as we age, these lines deepen and become more pronounced due to a combination of volume loss in the cheeks and midface, skin laxity from collagen breakdown, and the effects of gravity over time. For many patients, these deepened folds are one of the first signs of aging they want to address.

How Filler Treats Nasolabial Folds

Hyaluronic acid filler treats nasolabial folds by restoring volume in and around the fold itself. Unlike surgical options that pull or tighten skin, filler works by adding back the volume that has been lost, which softens the crease naturally. This approach maintains the movement and expressiveness of the face — the goal is never to eliminate all trace of the fold, but to soften it so it looks refreshed rather than heavy.

Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP takes an individualized approach to nasolabial fold treatment. In many cases, addressing volume loss in the cheeks — rather than just filling the fold directly — produces a more natural result. When cheek volume is restored, it has a lifting effect on the midface that softens the folds without making them look overly filled. She’ll assess your full facial structure and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your anatomy.

What Products Are Used and How Many Syringes Are Needed?

Juvederm products, including Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus, are commonly used for nasolabial fold treatment. These hyaluronic acid fillers are specifically formulated for the mid-to-lower face. The amount of filler needed varies by patient, but most nasolabial fold treatments use between one and two syringes, depending on the severity of the folds and whether cheek volume is also being addressed. Tanja will provide a clear recommendation during your consultation.

How Long Do Results Last?

Nasolabial fold filler typically lasts between 9 and 12 months. The nasolabial area is a high-movement zone, and filler in this region metabolizes somewhat faster than in lower-movement areas like the cheeks or temples. Some patients schedule touch-up appointments every 9 months to maintain their results; others prefer to wait until the filler has fully dissolved. With consistent treatment over time, many patients find they can use less product to maintain the same result.

Avoiding the Overfilled Look

One of the most common concerns patients bring to their consultation is having seen overfilled nasolabial folds — a look where the folds appear swollen, unnatural, or balloon-like. This typically happens when too much filler is placed directly into the fold without considering the overall facial structure. Tanja’s approach is to work with proportional goals: the result should look like a rested, refreshed version of you, not a departure from your natural appearance. She references your individual facial anatomy rather than applying a generic template.

Edmond Oklahoma Med Spa — TAP MedSpa Serves North OKC Patients for Botox and Weight Loss

[PHOTO: TAP MedSpa treatment room or Botox treatment in progress — professional clinical setting]

Why Edmond Patients Choose TAP MedSpa in Mustang

If you’re in Edmond, Oklahoma and looking for a clinical-grade med spa for Botox, fillers, or medically supervised weight loss, you don’t have to settle for the closest option. Patients from Edmond, Deer Creek, and north OKC regularly make the drive to TAP MedSpa in Mustang because they want a provider whose credentials match their expectations. TAP MedSpa is led by Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP, a doctoral-level advanced practice nurse whose clinical training sets her apart from aesthetician-only or RN-led practices.

Getting Here From Edmond

TAP MedSpa is located at 543 E State Hwy 152 Suite 101, Mustang, OK 73064. From Edmond, the most straightforward route is south on I-35 to State Highway 152 west. The drive typically takes 30 to 35 minutes depending on traffic. Many of our Edmond patients schedule appointments on their way through the metro or combine their visit with other errands in the south OKC area.

Why Credentials Matter When Choosing a Med Spa

The med spa industry in Oklahoma is not uniformly regulated. Different providers have different levels of training, and some practices employ aestheticians or less experienced staff to perform injections that require real clinical judgment. A DNP APRN CNP like Tanja holds a doctoral degree, has prescriptive authority, and is trained to assess and manage medical complications — not just administer treatments.

For Botox, this means better placement decisions and a more nuanced understanding of facial anatomy. For medical weight loss, this means proper evaluation before prescribing GLP-1 medications, appropriate dose titration, and clinical oversight throughout your program. These aren’t minor distinctions — they affect both your safety and your results.

Botox for Edmond Oklahoma Patients

Botox at TAP MedSpa addresses the most common concerns: forehead lines, frown lines (glabella), and crow’s feet. Tanja also performs brow lifts, lip flips, and other advanced Botox applications. Every treatment starts with an assessment of your facial anatomy and a discussion of your goals. Learn more about Botox services at tapmedspa.com.

Medical Weight Loss for Edmond Patients

TAP MedSpa offers medically supervised semaglutide and tirzepatide weight loss programs. Unlike online GLP-1 services that prescribe medication without a thorough evaluation, Tanja reviews your health history, determines whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you, starts you at the right dose, and monitors your progress over time.

Semaglutide has been shown to produce an average of 15% body weight reduction. Tirzepatide, which acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, has shown even more significant results in clinical trials — averaging over 20% weight loss. Tanja will help you determine which medication is the right fit based on your health history, goals, and budget. Visit our weight loss page at tapmedspa.com for more information.

Optic Elite Skin Analysis for New Patients

New patients at TAP MedSpa have access to the Optic Elite Skin Analysis, a comprehensive imaging system that shows the full picture of your skin health: sun damage, pore size, texture irregularities, pigmentation, and more. This gives Tanja an objective baseline for recommending treatments and tracking your progress over time. It’s a valuable tool that most Oklahoma City area med spas don’t offer.

Serving Edmond and North OKC at TAP MedSpa

TAP MedSpa proudly serves patients from throughout the Oklahoma City metro, including Edmond, Yukon, El Reno, and Chickasha. Tanja is a Best of Mustang Award winner, recognized by the local community for her exceptional care. Whether you’re coming in for Botox, fillers, semaglutide, or a full consultation, you’ll be seen by a provider who genuinely invests in your outcomes.

How to Prepare for Your Botox Appointment at TAP MedSpa — Before and After Care Guide

[PHOTO: Botox pre-treatment consultation or clinical treatment setting]

Getting Ready for Botox? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’ve booked a Botox appointment at TAP MedSpa in Mustang, Oklahoma, you’re already one step ahead. Botox is one of the most popular and effective non-surgical treatments available, and a little preparation goes a long way toward getting the best results. Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP has guided hundreds of patients through their first and subsequent Botox appointments. This guide walks you through everything you need to do before and after your visit to make the most of your treatment.

What to Avoid Before Your Botox Appointment

Preparing for Botox starts several days before your actual appointment. Certain substances can increase bruising and bleeding at injection sites, so it’s worth being mindful of what you’re putting in your body in the days leading up to treatment.

Blood Thinners and Supplements

Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), and other NSAIDs for at least 3-5 days before your appointment if medically appropriate. These medications thin the blood and increase the likelihood of bruising at injection sites. Similarly, certain supplements including fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, and garlic supplements can have blood-thinning effects and are best paused for a few days before treatment. Always check with your prescribing physician before stopping any medication.

Alcohol

Skip alcohol for at least 24 hours before your Botox appointment, and ideally 48 hours. Alcohol dilates blood vessels and can increase bruising and swelling. It also dehydrates the skin, which isn’t ideal on treatment day.

What to Expect on the Day of Your Botox Appointment

When you arrive at TAP MedSpa, Tanja will begin with a consultation to assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine the appropriate placement and dosage for your treatment. She takes time to explain what she’s doing and why, so you’ll never feel rushed or uncertain.

The treatment area will be cleansed before injections begin. Botox injections are quick — most appointments take between 10 and 20 minutes from first injection to last. The needles used are very fine, and most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch. A topical numbing cream is available if you’re particularly sensitive.

Common treatment areas include the forehead, glabella (frown lines between the brows), and crow’s feet. Tanja may also treat additional areas like the brow lift, lip flip, or neck bands depending on your goals. You can discuss all of this during your visit. See our full Botox service page at tapmedspa.com for more details on treatment areas and pricing.

Aftercare: What to Avoid After Botox

Following the right aftercare routine is just as important as preparation. The first four hours after Botox treatment are especially critical.

Stay Upright for 4 Hours

Avoid lying down or bending forward significantly for at least four hours after your treatment. This helps ensure the Botox stays in the intended area and doesn’t migrate to nearby muscles.

Skip Exercise on Treatment Day

Hold off on strenuous exercise for the rest of the day after your Botox appointment. Exercise increases blood flow and can contribute to bruising and swelling. Light activity is fine, but save the gym session for the next day.

Don’t Touch the Injection Sites

Avoid rubbing, massaging, or pressing on the treated areas for at least 24 hours. Touching the sites can cause the product to shift. You may gently cleanse your face as usual, but skip facial massage or any treatment that applies pressure.

Avoid Heat Exposure

Stay out of saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths for 24 hours after your Botox appointment. Heat can increase swelling and may affect how the product settles. Direct sun exposure is also best avoided on treatment day.

When Will You See Botox Results?

Botox results appear gradually. Most patients start to notice softening of movement in the treated muscles within 3 to 5 days after their appointment. Full results are typically visible at the two-week mark, once the product has fully settled. This is also why Tanja schedules a two-week follow-up: if any touch-up is needed, this is the time to address it.

Results typically last three to four months for most patients. With consistent treatment over time, some patients find their results last longer as the treated muscles gradually weaken. Tanja will discuss your specific timeline during your appointment.

When to Contact Your Provider

Some mild redness, slight swelling, or small bumps at injection sites are completely normal and resolve within a few hours. Bruising is less common but also normal and typically fades within a few days. However, contact TAP MedSpa if you experience unusual asymmetry after two weeks, drooping of an eyelid or brow that wasn’t there before, or anything that concerns you. Tanja is always available to answer questions from her patients.

Why TAP MedSpa for Your Botox in Oklahoma

At TAP MedSpa, every Botox treatment is administered by Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP — a doctoral-level advanced practice nurse with clinical training that goes well beyond aesthetics. Unlike practices where injections are delegated to less experienced staff, Tanja personally performs and oversees all treatments. This matters because proper technique, anatomical knowledge, and the ability to recognize and manage complications are what separate a great outcome from a disappointing one.

TAP MedSpa serves patients from across the Oklahoma City metro, including Yukon, Edmond, El Reno, and Chickasha. Our Mustang location is easy to access from SH-152. Learn more about Tanja’s background and credentials at tapmedspa.com.

Jawline Filler in Oklahoma: What to Expect and How Long It Lasts at TAP MedSpa


Jawline Filler Treatment at The Aesthetics Place MedSpa Mustang Oklahoma


A well-defined jawline frames the face and projects confidence at any age. For Oklahoma patients who want better definition without surgery, jawline filler at TAP MedSpa in Mustang offers natural-looking results that last 12 to 18 months. Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP uses precise injection technique to create a structured, balanced jawline that enhances your natural features.

What Does Jawline Filler Actually Do?

Jawline filler works by adding strategic volume along the jawline to create definition, strengthen a weak chin, and improve the overall shape of the lower face. Unlike jaw surgery (which repositions bone), filler works with the existing anatomy to enhance what’s already there. The result is a sharper, more structured profile without any cutting or recovery time.

Products Used for Jawline Filler at TAP MedSpa

Tanja selects from a range of dermal fillers depending on your anatomy and goals. Juvederm Volux is specifically designed for the chin and jawline, offering excellent structure and longevity. For patients interested in collagen stimulation with gradual results, Sculptra may also be incorporated. The product choice is always tailored to the individual — never a one-size-fits-all approach.

How Long Does Jawline Filler Last and What to Expect

Jawline filler typically lasts 12 to 18 months depending on the product used and the individual patient’s metabolism. Expect some swelling and possible bruising for the first few days after treatment — this is completely normal and resolves within a week. Most patients see the full result at the two-week mark. The number of syringes needed varies based on your anatomy, but Tanja will give you a realistic assessment during consultation.

Book Your Jawline Filler Consultation at TAP MedSpa

Book your jawline filler consultation online at tapmedspa.com or call (405) 256-6060. The Aesthetics Place MedSpa, 543 E State Hwy 152, Suite 101, Mustang OK 73064.

Mustang Oklahoma Med Spa: What Makes TAP MedSpa Different From Other OKC Area Providers


The Aesthetics Place MedSpa Mustang Oklahoma Medical Spa Treatment


In the western Oklahoma City metro, there are now dozens of med spas offering Botox, fillers, and weight loss injections. But not all of them are the same — and the difference isn’t just about price or location. At TAP MedSpa in Mustang, the credential behind your treatment is Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP, a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Certified Nurse Practitioner. That distinction changes everything.

The Credential Difference: DNP APRN CNP vs. Aesthetician or RN Injector

A Doctor of Nursing Practice is the terminal clinical degree in nursing — the equivalent of a medical doctorate in terms of academic training depth. Combined with the APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) and CNP (Certified Nurse Practitioner) designations, Tanja operates with full prescriptive authority and the clinical scope to evaluate, treat, and manage complications in a way that aestheticians and even many RN injectors cannot.

This matters for Botox because precise dosing and placement require anatomical knowledge that goes well beyond aesthetic training. It matters even more for medical weight loss, where supervising semaglutide and tirzepatide requires full clinical evaluation and monitoring.

The Best of Mustang Award and What It Represents

TAP MedSpa has earned the Best of Mustang Award — a distinction voted on by the Mustang community, not awarded by advertisers or review platforms. It reflects what patients consistently experience: personalized care, clinical expertise, and results that look natural rather than overdone.

The Optic Elite Skin Analysis Advantage

TAP MedSpa’s Optic Elite Skin Analysis goes beyond what’s visible on the surface. This advanced imaging system reveals sun damage, dehydration, pore congestion, and collagen loss beneath the skin before treatment begins. It gives Tanja objective data to build your treatment plan, and gives you a baseline to track real improvement over time. Very few OKC area providers offer this level of pre-treatment analysis.

What Is PRP Therapy and Is It Worth It for Skin Rejuvenation in Oklahoma?

[PHOTO: PRP therapy treatment or platelet-rich plasma preparation — clinical setting]

PRP therapy — platelet-rich plasma — has become one of the most talked-about skin rejuvenation treatments in Oklahoma aesthetics. At TAP MedSpa in Mustang, Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP offers PRP therapy as a clinically backed approach to improving skin texture, tone, and overall quality using your body’s own growth factors.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

PRP is derived from your own blood. A small blood draw is taken, then placed in a centrifuge that separates the platelets from the red blood cells. The resulting plasma is highly concentrated with platelets — cells that are rich in growth factors that promote tissue repair and collagen production. When reintroduced into the skin via micro-needling or injection, these growth factors stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative process.

What Skin Concerns Does PRP Address Best?

PRP therapy is particularly effective for improving skin texture, fine lines, acne scarring, and overall tone. Oklahoma patients dealing with sun damage are also good candidates, as PRP stimulates collagen remodeling that can reduce hyperpigmentation and uneven skin texture over time. It is less effective for deep static wrinkles or significant volume loss — those concerns are better addressed with Botox or dermal fillers.

Realistic Results Timeline: What to Expect

PRP therapy requires patience. Results develop gradually over 3 to 6 months as collagen remodeling occurs beneath the surface. Most patients benefit from a series of 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal outcomes. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months help sustain results. The timeline feels long compared to Botox or filler, but the improvements to skin quality — texture, tone, and overall radiance — are genuinely worth it for the right candidate.

How PRP Combines With Other TAP MedSpa Treatments

One of the most effective combination approaches at TAP MedSpa pairs PRP with HydraFacial treatments. The HydraFacial deeply cleanses and preps the skin, while PRP applied afterward penetrates more effectively and enhances results. Tanja creates individualized treatment plans that may include PRP alongside Botox for wrinkle prevention and overall skin quality improvement. Visit our PRP service page or HydraFacial page for more details on these treatments.

Is PRP Worth It? Book a Consultation at TAP MedSpa

For the right patient, PRP therapy is absolutely worth it. The key is setting realistic expectations and committing to the full treatment series. Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP evaluates every patient to determine whether PRP is the right solution or whether another treatment would deliver better results for their specific goals. Book your consultation at tapmedspa.com or call (405) 256-6060. The Aesthetics Place MedSpa, 543 E State Hwy 152, Suite 101, Mustang OK 73064.

Medical Weight Loss Oklahoma City — Supervised Semaglutide and Tirzepatide at TAP MedSpa


Medical Weight Loss Oklahoma City Semaglutide at The Aesthetics Place MedSpa


If you live in Oklahoma City and you’re searching for medically supervised weight loss — not another online program that ships GLP-1 medications with minimal clinical oversight — TAP MedSpa in Mustang is your closest clinical solution. Located on State Highway 152 just west of OKC, The Aesthetics Place MedSpa offers semaglutide and tirzepatide weight loss programs personally supervised by Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP.

Why Supervised Medical Weight Loss Is Different

Online GLP-1 programs have made semaglutide and tirzepatide widely accessible — but accessibility without proper oversight creates real risk. At TAP MedSpa, every weight loss patient undergoes a full clinical evaluation before starting any medication. Tanja reviews your complete health history, current medications, metabolic indicators, and weight loss goals to determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate and which option is best for you.

Both semaglutide and tirzepatide require careful dose titration. Starting too high causes unnecessary side effects. Starting too low delivers minimal results. As a DNP APRN CNP, Tanja has the clinical training to dial in the right dose for each patient, adjust as needed over time, and monitor for any emerging complications — something no telehealth-only program can replicate.

Your Medication Options: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide

Semaglutide

A GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and slows gastric emptying, semaglutide has demonstrated average weight loss of approximately 15% of body weight in clinical trials. It is administered as a weekly injection and works by mimicking a hormone that regulates both appetite and blood sugar.

Tirzepatide

A dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, tirzepatide activates two metabolic pathways simultaneously. The SURMOUNT-1 trial showed average weight loss of approximately 20% of body weight, making it the more powerful option for patients with significant weight loss goals. TAP MedSpa offers tirzepatide starting as low as $200 per month.

Serving Oklahoma City from TAP MedSpa in Mustang

Oklahoma City patients typically make the 20-25 minute drive west on I-40 to reach TAP MedSpa in Mustang. For OKC patients who want real clinical oversight rather than a box arriving in the mail, the drive is worth it. Visit our Oklahoma City med spa page to learn more about how we serve OKC patients.

What to Know About Combining Botox and Fillers at TAP MedSpa — Getting the Most From Your Treatment

[PHOTO: Before/after treatment imagery showing Botox and filler results — natural and rejuvenated]

When it comes to facial rejuvenation, Botox and dermal fillers each offer powerful benefits on their own — but combining them strategically can deliver even more comprehensive results. At TAP MedSpa in Mustang, Oklahoma, provider Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP regularly creates customized combination treatment plans that address both muscle movement and volume loss for a full-face refresh.

What Botox Does (and What It Doesn't)

Botox is a neuromodulator — it temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, which are lines that form from repeated facial expressions like squinting, frowning, or smiling. Common Botox treatment areas include forehead lines, crow's feet, the "11s" between the brows, lip lines, and brow lifting. Botox does not add volume; it only relaxes movement-based wrinkles.

What Dermal Fillers Do (and What They Don't)

Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid to restore lost volume, smooth static wrinkles (lines that appear even at rest), and enhance facial structure. Fillers are ideal for areas like the lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, and under eyes. Unlike Botox, fillers don't address muscle movement — they address volume deficit and structural changes that come with aging.

Why Combining Botox and Fillers Works Better

The face ages in multiple ways simultaneously — muscles weaken, fat pads deflate, and skin loses elasticity. By combining Botox to address muscle activity with fillers to restore volume, Tanja can create a more balanced and natural-looking result than either treatment alone would provide. Patients often notice a significant improvement in overall facial harmony when both are used together.

Treatment Order: Botox First, Then Fillers

At TAP MedSpa, Tanja typically administers Botox before fillers in the same appointment. This allows the neuromodulator to begin relaxing the target muscles, which can reduce the filler volume needed in dynamic areas. Some patients prefer to space treatments out by two weeks to assess the Botox results first — Tanja will guide you on the best approach based on your goals.

Recovery and Timing for Combined Treatments

Both Botox and fillers have minimal downtime, though you may experience some redness, mild swelling, or tenderness at injection sites for a day or two after treatment. Botox takes 10 to 14 days to reach its full effect. Filler results are immediate but may take a few days to fully settle. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.

Why Choose TAP MedSpa for Combined Treatments

Tanja Pittman is a board-certified nurse practitioner with extensive training in facial anatomy and injection technique. She takes an artistic, individualized approach to every treatment — ensuring that results look natural and harmonious with your unique facial structure.

Under Eye Filler in Oklahoma: Treating Dark Circles and Hollowness at TAP MedSpa

[PHOTO: under eye treatment or close-up of eye area at TAP MedSpa — clinical and approachable]

The under eye area is one of the first places to show signs of aging, fatigue, and genetics. If you’ve ever been told you look tired when you’re not, or noticed a persistent hollow or shadow beneath your eyes that doesn’t go away with sleep, you’re not alone. Under eye filler — also called tear trough filler — is one of the most requested treatments at TAP MedSpa in Mustang, Oklahoma, and for good reason.

5What Is Tear Trough Filler?

1Tear trough filler is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler injected into the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye toward the cheek. This area — called the tear trough — can become hollow or shadowed due to volume loss, genetics, or the thinning of skin that comes with age. The filler softens this depression, reduces the appearance of dark circles caused by shadowing, and creates a smoother, more rested appearance.

It’s important to understand that not all dark circles are caused by hollowness. Pigmentation-related dark circles are caused by melanin in the skin and cannot be corrected with filler. During your consultation at TAP MedSpa, provider Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP will assess the cause of your under eye concerns and determine whether filler is the right approach for your specific anatomy.

5Who Is a Good Candidate for Under Eye Filler?

1Under eye filler works best for patients who have hollowness or volume loss in the tear trough area. Ideal candidates typically experience shadowing rather than pigmentation-based darkness. Filler is most effective when:

4The Skin Has Good Elasticity

1Patients with firm, elastic skin tend to see the best results from tear trough filler. Very thin or crepey skin under the eyes can sometimes make filler more visible or cause an uneven appearance. Tanja will evaluate your skin quality during the consultation to ensure filler is a safe and appropriate recommendation.

4Volume Loss Is the Primary Cause

1If your dark circles get better when you lift the skin slightly or pull it taut, the cause is likely volume loss and shadowing — making you a strong candidate for filler. If the darkness is unchanged regardless of position or skin manipulation, the cause is more likely pigmentation, which may respond better to other treatments.

5What to Expect During and After Treatment

1Under eye filler is a delicate treatment that requires a highly skilled injector. The under eye skin is thin and the anatomy in this area is complex, which is why it’s critical to choose a medically licensed provider with aesthetic experience. At TAP MedSpa, Tanja Pittman performs all injections personally.

4The Treatment Process

1The tear trough area is numbed with topical anesthetic prior to injection. A thin needle or cannula is used to place the filler into the appropriate depth beneath the skin. The entire treatment typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. Most patients experience minimal pain during the procedure, though some mild pressure or sensitivity is normal.

4Recovery and Results

1Some bruising and swelling is normal after tear trough filler and typically resolves within 7 to 14 days. Results are immediately visible, though the full effect emerges once swelling subsides. Under eye filler typically lasts 12 to 18 months, though this varies by individual. Avoid rubbing or pressing on the area for at least 48 hours after treatment.

5Why Oklahoma Patients Trust TAP MedSpa for Under Eye Filler

1TAP MedSpa is a Best of Mustang Award-winning practice serving patients from across the Oklahoma City metro, including Edmond, Chickasha, El Reno, and nearby communities. Provider Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP has extensive training in facial anatomy and aesthetic injection techniques. Her approach is conservative, precise, and focused on results that look natural — not overdone.

If you’ve had bad experiences with under eye filler elsewhere or are nervous about trying it for the first time, a consultation with Tanja is the best place to start. She’ll take the time to assess your concerns, explain what’s realistic, and develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your facial structure and goals. You can also explore our full range of services including cheek filler, lip filler, Botox, and more on our services page.

How Long Does Medical Weight Loss with Semaglutide Take to Work?

[PHOTO: consultation or TAP MedSpa weight loss program imagery — clinical and professional]

If you’ve recently started semaglutide or are considering it as part of your medical weight loss journey, one of the first questions you probably have is: how long will it take to actually see results? The honest answer is that it depends — but most patients enrolled in TAP MedSpa’s supervised weight loss program in Mustang, Oklahoma begin to see meaningful changes between weeks 8 and 12. Here’s a realistic breakdown of what to expect and why the timeline varies from person to person.

5The Realistic Semaglutide Timeline

1Semaglutide works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which signals to your brain that you’re full, slows digestion, and reduces food cravings. But it doesn’t work overnight. The medication is introduced gradually through a dose titration process to reduce side effects and allow your body to adjust. Here’s how the timeline typically looks for patients at TAP MedSpa.

4Weeks 1–4: Dose Titration and Adjustment

1During the first month, you’ll be on the lowest starting dose of semaglutide — typically 0.25 mg weekly. The purpose of this phase isn’t weight loss yet; it’s adjustment. Most patients notice some reduction in appetite and possibly mild nausea or fatigue as their bodies adapt. You may lose a few pounds during this phase, but major results haven’t kicked in yet. Don’t get discouraged — this phase is essential for your safety and long-term success.

4Weeks 4–8: Appetite Suppression Becomes Noticeable

1By weeks four to eight, most patients have moved up to 0.5 mg and begin noticing a significant shift in their relationship with food. Cravings decrease, portion sizes naturally shrink, and the constant background noise of hunger quiets. This is when many patients start seeing the scale move more consistently. You may lose 5–8 pounds during this stretch, especially if you’re making supportive dietary choices.

4Weeks 8–12: First Meaningful Weight Loss

1Weeks 8 through 12 are when most TAP MedSpa patients reach what we call the “meaningful results” milestone — typically 5–10% of starting body weight lost. This is the phase where patients often notice their clothes fitting differently, energy levels improving, and confidence building. The combination of a therapeutic dose, reduced calorie intake, and metabolic adaptation is working together. This is also when many patients feel the program is truly working for them.

4Weeks 12–24: Continued Progress and Maintenance

1Patients who continue past the three-month mark often achieve 10–15% total body weight loss by the six-month mark, with some achieving even more depending on individual factors. The dose may be further optimized during this phase. The goal shifts from rapid loss to steady, sustainable progress. Long-term success is far more common in supervised programs like ours because your provider is monitoring results and adjusting your plan accordingly.

5What Affects How Fast Semaglutide Works for You

1No two patients experience the same timeline. Several variables influence how quickly you’ll see results on semaglutide:

4Starting Weight and BMI

1Patients with a higher starting weight tend to see larger initial numbers on the scale, but percentage-based progress is often similar. The key metric is percentage of body weight lost, not the raw number. Your provider will help you set realistic benchmarks based on where you start.

4Diet and Nutritional Choices

1Semaglutide helps reduce appetite, but it doesn’t replace a healthy diet. Patients who use the reduced appetite as an opportunity to eat more whole foods, protein, and vegetables consistently lose weight faster than those who continue eating high-calorie processed foods in smaller portions. TAP MedSpa provides nutritional guidance as part of our program to help you make the most of your medication.

4Physical Activity

1You don’t need to become an athlete, but adding moderate activity — even 20 to 30 minutes of walking most days — meaningfully accelerates fat loss and improves how you feel. Exercise also helps preserve muscle mass during weight loss, which is important for metabolism and long-term weight maintenance. As your energy improves on the medication, many patients find it easier to become more active.

5Why Dose Titration Matters So Much

1One of the most common mistakes with GLP-1 medications is rushing the dose escalation. Some online-only programs move patients too quickly through dose tiers in an effort to accelerate results. This approach often leads to significant nausea, vomiting, or other side effects that cause patients to quit the medication entirely.

At TAP MedSpa, Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP oversees every patient’s dose titration personally. The goal is to find the minimum effective dose that delivers strong results without unnecessary side effects. Some patients thrive at lower doses; others need to escalate further to see optimal results. The right dose for you is determined through ongoing monitoring — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

5Supervised Medical Program vs. Online-Only Semaglutide

1The proliferation of online GLP-1 prescribers has made semaglutide more accessible than ever — but accessibility isn’t the same as quality care. When you receive semaglutide through an online-only telehealth service, you often get the medication with little to no follow-up, no nutritional guidance, no lab monitoring, and no provider who knows your history.

TAP MedSpa’s medical weight loss program offers a different experience. As a locally owned med spa in Mustang serving patients from across the OKC metro — including Edmond, Chickasha, El Reno, and surrounding communities — we provide hands-on, relationship-based care. Your results are reviewed, your dose is adjusted as needed, and your questions are answered by a real provider who is invested in your outcome. Visit our weight loss page to learn more about what’s included in the program.

5Is Semaglutide Right for You?

1Semaglutide is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight with at least one weight-related health condition. It’s also now widely used off-label for patients seeking supervised medical weight loss. TAP MedSpa’s program is appropriate for a wide range of patients, and Tanja conducts a thorough intake evaluation to ensure the program is a safe and appropriate fit.

Some patients also ask about tirzepatide, another GLP-1/GIP dual agonist that works similarly to semaglutide but through a slightly different mechanism. Both medications are available at TAP MedSpa, and Tanja can help you understand which option may be the better fit based on your health history, goals, and budget. We currently offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide starting at $200 per month.

5Start Your Medical Weight Loss Journey at TAP MedSpa

1If you’re ready to stop guessing and start seeing real results, TAP MedSpa is here to help. Provider Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP has helped patients across Oklahoma — from Mustang and Edmond to Chickasha and El Reno — achieve meaningful, lasting weight loss through medically supervised semaglutide and tirzepatide programs.

Cheek Filler vs Cheek Augmentation: What’s the Difference and Which Is Right for You?

[PHOTO: before/after cheek filler or cheek volume restoration result — natural-looking]

What Does Cheek Filler Actually Do?

Cheek filler is a non-surgical injectable treatment that restores lost volume in the midface, creates subtle lifting, and improves facial contour. As we age, fat pads in the cheeks descend and diminish, causing the face to appear flat, hollow, or tired. Dermal filler replenishes that volume without surgery.

The effect is a refreshed, lifted appearance that still looks natural — the goal at TAP MedSpa is never to change your face, but to restore what time has taken away.

Cheek Filler vs Surgical Cheek Augmentation

Surgical cheek augmentation involves placing implants over the cheekbones through incisions inside the mouth or lower eyelid. It’s a permanent solution but requires anesthesia, surgical recovery, and carries the risks associated with any operation.

Cheek filler, by contrast, is done in-office in under 30 minutes, requires no downtime beyond some possible bruising and swelling, and is fully reversible if needed. Results typically last 12-24 months depending on the product used and the individual’s metabolism.

Products Used for Cheek Filler at TAP MedSpa

Tanja Pittman uses two primary categories of products for cheek volume restoration, selected based on your anatomy, desired outcome, and the degree of correction needed:

Juvederm Voluma XC

A hyaluronic acid filler specifically designed for deep injection in the cheek area. Provides lift and volume with results lasting up to 2 years.

Sculptra

A poly-L-lactic acid biostimulator that works by gradually stimulating your own collagen production. Results develop over several months and can last 2+ years. Typically requires 2-3 treatment sessions.

How Many Syringes Do You Need?

Most patients need 1-2 syringes per cheek for meaningful volume restoration. Tanja always recommends a conservative start — you can add more at a follow-up, but overcorrection is harder to manage. During your consultation, she’ll assess your anatomy and tell you exactly what she recommends.

Botox for Men in Oklahoma City: What to Expect and Why More Men Are Getting It

[PHOTO: male patient consultation or forehead treatment — neutral clinical setting]

The Rise of Aesthetic Treatments for Men

Male aesthetics is one of the fastest-growing segments in the medical aesthetics industry. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, millions of men now receive Botox and other minimally invasive treatments annually — and the numbers continue to grow each year.

At TAP MedSpa in Mustang Oklahoma, Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP treats men of all ages who want to look refreshed, reduce visible signs of fatigue, and maintain a natural appearance — without looking like they’ve had work done.

What Areas Men Commonly Treat

Botox for men focuses on the same facial movement patterns as women, but the approach differs because of anatomy and desired outcome. Men tend to want strong, defined features preserved — not softened. The most common treatment areas include:

Forehead lines

Horizontal lines across the forehead that deepen with age and expression.

Frown lines (glabella)

The “11s” between the eyebrows that can create a perpetually tense or angry expression.

Crow’s feet

Lines at the outer corners of the eyes that appear with smiling and squinting.

Neck bands (platysma)

Vertical bands in the neck that become more prominent with age.

How Male Anatomy Affects Botox Technique and Unit Count

Men have larger facial muscles than women, particularly in the forehead and glabella. This means male patients often require higher unit counts to achieve comparable results. Undertreating male patients is a common mistake among injectors with limited experience treating men.

Tanja takes a gender-informed approach to every injection — taking into account brow position, muscle mass, and desired brow shape when designing a treatment plan. For men, the goal is typically to relax movement without changing the natural, masculine brow line.

What to Tell Your Injector

When booking your Botox appointment, be honest about your goals. Most male patients at TAP MedSpa describe their target as: looking less tired, reducing the appearance of stress or anger on their face, or simply maintaining what they have. Being specific helps Tanja create a plan that matches your lifestyle and goals.

Medical Weight Loss Near Edmond Oklahoma — TAP MedSpa Serves the North OKC Corridor

[PHOTO: weight loss consultation or TAP MedSpa exterior showing Mustang location]

TAP MedSpa Is Close to Edmond — Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’re in Edmond, Oklahoma and looking for medically supervised weight loss, you don’t have to look far. TAP MedSpa is located in Mustang Oklahoma, accessible via SH-152 and approximately 30 minutes from most Edmond locations. For patients in the North OKC corridor, it’s an easy commute for clinical-grade care.

Our Edmond-area patients tell us they prefer TAP MedSpa because they get direct access to Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP — a board-certified nurse practitioner providing individualized medical care, not a franchise model or online-only prescription service.

What the Medical Weight Loss Program Involves

TAP MedSpa offers medically supervised weight loss using FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonists including semaglutide and tirzepatide. These medications work by reducing appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and improving insulin sensitivity — all of which contribute to consistent, meaningful weight loss.

The program includes an initial medical consultation, baseline labs (when indicated), a personalized dosing plan, and ongoing monitoring. Tanja is involved in your care throughout — not just at the start.

Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide: Which Option Is Right for You?

Both semaglutide (brand names Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro) are available through TAP MedSpa’s weight loss program. Semaglutide is a single GLP-1 receptor agonist, while tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, often producing stronger results for patients who have plateaued on other medications.

During your initial consultation, Tanja reviews your health history, current medications, and weight loss goals to recommend the right starting point. Dosing is adjusted over time based on your response and tolerability.

Why Supervised Programs Differ from Online-Only Prescriptions

Online semaglutide programs have exploded in popularity, but they often lack the personalized medical oversight that leads to sustainable results. With a telehealth-only platform, you may receive a prescription without a thorough review of your medical history, current labs, or medication interactions.

At TAP MedSpa, Tanja sees you as a patient — not a subscriber. She manages side effects, adjusts doses appropriately, and builds a relationship that supports your long-term weight management goals beyond just the medication.

Start Your Weight Loss Journey — Serving Edmond and the OKC Metro

TAP MedSpa is located at 543 E State Hwy 152, Suite 101, Mustang OK 73064. We serve patients from Edmond, Yukon, Oklahoma City, El Reno, and throughout the region.

Dermal Fillers in Mustang Oklahoma: Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Appointment

[PHOTO: dermal filler treatment or lip filler result natural-looking at TAP MedSpa]

What Are Dermal Fillers and How Do They Work?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Most fillers used in medical aesthetics today are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that naturally occurs in the body and attracts moisture to plump and hydrate the skin from the inside out.

Unlike Botox, which works by relaxing muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers physically add volume or fill space beneath the skin. The two treatments complement each other and are often used together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Dermal Fillers?

At TAP MedSpa in Mustang Oklahoma, Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP treats a wide range of areas with dermal fillers. Each area requires a different technique and product selection based on the depth of tissue, movement patterns, and desired outcome.

Lips

Adding definition, volume, and hydration to the upper and lower lips. Results typically last 6-12 months.

Cheeks

Restoring volume lost to aging, lifting the midface, and creating subtle contour. Products like Juvederm Voluma can last up to 2 years in this area.

Under Eyes (Tear Trough)

Addressing hollowness that creates a shadow effect and tired appearance. This is a delicate area requiring experienced technique.

Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines

Softening the lines from nose to mouth and mouth to chin that deepen with age and volume loss.

Jawline

Sharpening the jawline definition and improving the lower face profile, popular with both men and women.

What to Expect During Your Filler Appointment

Most filler appointments at TAP MedSpa take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on how many areas are being treated. Tanja begins with a consultation and review of your Optic Elite Skin Analysis results to ensure the plan aligns with your skin health and anatomy.

A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before injection. Most fillers also contain lidocaine to minimize discomfort during the procedure. The actual injection process is quick — typically just a few minutes per area.

Bruising, Swelling, and Recovery Timeline

Bruising and swelling after filler are normal and expected. Most patients experience mild swelling for 24-72 hours, with bruising possible but not universal. Lip filler tends to produce the most visible swelling. Under-eye filler and areas with more blood vessels tend to bruise more easily.

Most patients are back to their normal routines the same day, though Tanja recommends avoiding intense exercise, alcohol, and heat exposure for 24-48 hours. Final results are typically visible within 1-2 weeks once swelling fully resolves.

Why Choose a Clinical-Grade DNP APRN CNP Provider for Filler

Not all filler providers are the same. In Oklahoma and across the country, dermal fillers can be administered by medical professionals ranging from aestheticians working under a medical director to board-certified nurse practitioners with advanced clinical training.

Tanja Pittman is a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with board certification as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse and Certified Nurse Practitioner (APRN CNP). This clinical background means she understands facial anatomy at a level that informs every injection — not just aesthetically, but medically.

Filler complications, while rare, can be serious. Choosing an experienced, clinically trained provider is the most important decision you make when considering fillers. TAP MedSpa’s approach combines advanced technique with a conservative, natural-results philosophy — you should look refreshed, not different.

What Is the Optic Elite Skin Analysis and Why Does TAP MedSpa Offer It Free to New Patients?

[PHOTO: Optic Elite skin analysis device or skin assessment being performed at TAP MedSpa]

What Is the Optic Elite Skin Analysis?

At TAP MedSpa in Mustang, Oklahoma, every new patient receives a complimentary Optic Elite Skin Analysis before any treatment is discussed. This isn’t a casual look at your skin under a bright light — it’s a technology-driven assessment that captures what’s happening both on the surface and beneath it.

What the Optic Elite Captures

The Optic Elite uses multi-spectral imaging technology to analyze your skin across several dimensions that a standard visual exam simply cannot detect. During your analysis, Tanja Pittman DNP APRN CNP reviews your results in real time, walking you through exactly what the device is revealing.

The analysis captures surface texture and pore size, sun damage and UV spots that haven’t yet appeared on the skin’s surface, pigmentation irregularities, areas of redness and vascular concern, and subsurface conditions invisible to the naked eye. Many patients are surprised to see sun damage from years ago showing up beneath the skin — damage that hasn’t become visible yet but will if left untreated.

How It Differs From a Standard Skin Assessment

Traditional skin assessments rely entirely on what a provider can see with the naked eye and feel with their hands. While experienced injectors and skincare professionals can identify many concerns visually, surface-only evaluation misses the full picture.

The Optic Elite changes this by adding an objective, data-driven layer to every new patient consultation. Instead of relying solely on a provider’s visual impression, you receive a documented baseline of your actual skin condition — one that can be compared at future visits to track progress and measure treatment outcomes over time.

What Patients Learn From Their Results

After your Optic Elite scan, you’ll have a clear picture of the concerns that are most active in your skin right now — not just the ones you’ve noticed in the mirror. Common findings include:

Latent sun damage

UV exposure from years past that has not yet surfaced visibly but shows up clearly under spectral imaging.

Pore congestion and texture irregularities

These often respond well to HydraFacial or medical-grade skincare protocols.

Pigmentation and discoloration

Including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and age spots that may benefit from targeted treatments.

Vascular concerns

Redness, rosacea-like conditions, and broken capillaries that may otherwise be dismissed as normal flushing.

How Tanja Uses the Analysis to Design Your Treatment Plan

Tanja Pittman is a board-certified DNP APRN CNP with years of experience in medical aesthetics. She uses the Optic Elite results as a clinical foundation — not just a sales tool. The data shapes which treatments are recommended, in what order, and why.

For a patient with subsurface UV damage, Tanja might prioritize skin-resurfacing treatments before investing in injectables. For a patient with pigmentation as their primary concern, she would recommend a treatment plan that addresses the root cause rather than layering cosmetic solutions on top. And for patients who are considering neuromodulators like Botox or dermal fillers, the Optic Elite helps Tanja evaluate the skin’s overall health before proceeding.

The result is a personalized treatment plan that’s grounded in data — not guesswork — and designed to produce meaningful, visible results over time.

Why TAP MedSpa Offers This Free to Every New Patient

At most med spas, you walk in, describe your concern, and receive a recommendation based on that conversation alone. TAP MedSpa takes a different approach. By investing in the Optic Elite technology and offering it at no charge to new patients, Tanja ensures that every recommendation she makes is based on a complete clinical picture — not just what you asked about.

TAP MedSpa is proud to be a Best of Mustang Award winner, and providing this level of clinical precision is part of what sets us apart from standard day spas and aesthetician practices. When you’re trusting someone with your face and your health, you deserve more than a visual guess.

Whether you’re exploring Botox for the first time, curious about skin rejuvenation, or just want to know what’s actually going on under your skin, the Optic Elite Skin Analysis gives you a real starting point.
