The popularity of non-surgical treatments has grown exponentially, with over 25 million minimally invasive procedures performed in 2023 alone. ⁽¹⁾

Suitable Candidates

Candidates seeking non-surgical cosmetic procedures typically include those interested in reducing early signs of aging. Patients with visible signs of aging, such as fine lines or creases, as well as those with skin concerns, may find this treatment highly beneficial. Individuals interested in a more subtle enhancement or patients interested in early preventative care may also be recommended for this treatment.

All candidates interested in our non-surgical treatments should be in good overall health with realistic expectations as to what our procedures can achieve. Our injection specialist will determine each patient’s candidacy at their consultation.

Personal Consultation

Each patient is asked to attend a personal consultation at either our Beverly Hills or West Hollywood location before their cosmetic procedure. This meeting is not only a chance for our team to get to know each patient but also to understand how we can help them best. The nurse injector will first converse with each patient regarding their medical history, concerns, and ideal treatment goals. They will then evaluate each patient’s physical condition, focusing on their areas of concern.

From there, the nurse injector will craft each patient’s treatment plan, selecting the best treatment to help them achieve their goals. Personalized preparation and recovery instructions will also be provided, as well as a written price quote. We ask that each patient come prepared to discuss their concerns and goals openly, as this consultation is time dedicated to them and their specific procedure.

To schedule your consultation, please call (310) 275-1971 or contact our office online, and a member of our team will be in touch with you shortly!

Preparation

Preparation for each treatment may vary, so each patient will receive a list of preparation instructions at their consultation. Generally speaking, patients may be asked to temporarily cease the use of certain medications and supplements that contain blood-thinning properties, in addition to the consumption of nicotine products or alcohol. We also advise patients to fully hydrate and consume a nutritious meal before receiving their treatments.

Procedures

Botox

Botox is an injectable cosmetic procedure that is designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for repeated movements. Botox is a type of neuromodulator, meaning that it interacts with neurons to achieve its effects. When injected, this treatment inhibits the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions in the face. ⁽²⁾ By suspending the facial muscles in a semi-relaxed state, the skin can smooth itself out, eliminating visible fine lines and creases while preventing the formation of new ones.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are minimally invasive treatments designed to restore lost volume to various parts of the face. Fillers can be composed of different materials, the most widely used being hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Soft tissue fillers are one of the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, having been administered over 5.2 million times in the U.S. in the year 2023 alone, and non-hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have been administered over 900,000 times. ⁽¹⁾

Kybella

Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to help reduce submental fat, or a “double chin.” Kybella is composed of deoxycholic acid, a substance that can naturally be found in the body and can help break down fat cells through a process called focal adipolysis, or the targeted elimination of fat cells. ⁽³⁾ After being delivered underneath the chin and jaw, patients will be able to enjoy a smoother, more slender, and youthful-looking appearance.

Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is a treatment that utilizes cutting-edge laser technology to remove layers of damaged skin. There are two types of lasers: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative lasers remove the outermost layer of skin to target imperfections such as sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring. Non-ablative lasers target the deeper, underlying layers of tissue to stimulate collagen production.

Liquid Rhinoplasty

A liquid rhinoplasty, also known as a filler rhinoplasty, is a procedure that allows patients to augment the appearance of their nose through the use of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. This procedure can be used to correct the dorsal hump, refine one’s nose tip, or address asymmetry. Liquid rhinoplasty is an ideal procedure for patients who may not be interested in committing to a surgical procedure or want a more subtle enhancement.

Liquid Facelift

A liquid facelift, also known as a non-surgical facelift, is a procedure that utilizes both dermal fillers and neuromodulators to create a more lifted, youthful-looking appearance. Dermal fillers can be administered to the deeper layers of skin to restore volume, while neuromodulators, such as Botox, can be used to smooth out creases and wrinkles in the face.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a procedure that involves using a device to create multiple micropunctures in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. By doing so, the body will naturally boost its collagen and elastin production, leading to an improvement in the texture and tone of the skin.

PRP Facial

A platelet-rich plasma facial is a skin treatment that utilizes a concentrated serum of platelet-rich plasma to help achieve smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin. The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is separated from other cellular matter through a centrifuge, with each concentration containing more than four times the amount of platelets than that in whole blood. ⁽⁴⁾ PRP contains over 20 different types of growth factors that can help alleviate inflammation, form new blood vessels, encourage cell growth, stimulate the production of collagen, and more. ⁽⁵⁾

Thread Lift

Thread lifting is a type of procedure designed to lift and reposition sagging or loose skin through the use of dissolvable sutures. This procedure is ideal for treating the midface, jawline, chin, and neck and offers a non-surgical alternative to a facelift. The sutures used are formulated with polydioxanone (PDO), a hypoallergenic material that can stimulate collagen production, leading to an improvement in skin quality.
