Many ask why should I pay someone to clean it for me? I wash my face morning and night and use all of the highest tech facial cleansing equipment and taking an hour out of my day is just too much time. However, getting regular facials is one of the best things you can do to help keep you and your skin looking young, fresh and rejuvenated. It is also important to understand what your skin type is, which a trained esthetician can teach you in order to know what products are really best for your skin. Professional facial treatments can be relaxing and rejuvenating, but also help set the stage for beautiful skin in the future. At BHPSG, our esthetician can provide a detailed and accurate analysis of your skin as well as create an appropriate treatment plan  with recommendations for your home care to enable you to meet your skin care goals. When getting regular facials, you will notice that your skin will look and feel better then it ever has and make up will go on more smoothly making you look better then ever before! Typically a facial deep cleans, exfoliates & nourishes the skin to promote a clear, well-hydrated complexion. On your initial treatment, our esthetician will start with a skin analysis and explain which treatment will be best for you. She will then proceed with an hour long treatment using Eminence products, a completely organic line, which has products that address all different types of skin conditions. During the deep cleansing portion of the facial, our esthetician will rid the skin of dirt, debris and environmental toxins, allowing the skin to fight off disease, aging and enable your skin to better absorb the products applied months after your facial. Next, our esthetician will exfoliate your skin which will also boost your skins ability to absorb products. Exfoliating the skin involves removing the oldest dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. During this process, steam vapor is directed at your face to help open up pores even more to loosen dirt in your skin. Opening up the pores also allows for easier extractions (removing blackheads and whiteheads). Once extractions are done, you will receive a facial massage and masque which will bring nutrients and moisture to the deeper layers of the skin and promote a healthy glow as well as detoxify and relax you. After a facial with our esthetician, you will leave the office feeling great about yourself with healthier more beautiful skin! Give us a call today and schedule your facial with Talia!

At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, we want to keep you as informed as possible regarding the different options that are available for non invasive facial rejuvenation.  Dermal fillers can be used to plump thin lips, lift your eyebrows, define cheek bones, decrease hollowing under the eye to help reduce dark circles, decrease the appearance of smile lines and overall  give you a well-rested and rejuvenated appearance. They can usually be done in less than an hour and have little to no downtime. In some people, dermal fillers may cause some mild bruising, temporary swelling, or temporary redness at the injection site; however these side effects will disappear within 24-48 hours. Below are the top 5 dermal fillers used in our practice. 1. Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC Main Ingredient: Hyaluronic Acid Uses: Good for medium or deeper lines and wrinkles of the faces, such as the nasolabial folds. It is also useful for plumping up lips and cheekbones, and filling acne scars. This version of Juvederm is heavier than its counterpart Juvéderm Ultra. Hence, it is generally reserved for deeper wrinkles and lines and plumping up flattened areas. The XC version of Juvéderm Ultra Plus includes the addition of lidocaine. Lidocaine, an anesthetic, reduces the pain associated with injection. How It Works: The hyalruronic acid absorbs water and augments the injected area. Duration: The effects of Juvéderm Ultra Plus last about one year Price: One syringe of Juvéderm Ultra Plus is priced at $700. Antidote/Reversal Agent: Hyaluronidase can be used to reverse the effects of Juvéderm Ultra. 2. Perlane Main Ingredient: Hyaluronic Acid Uses: Perlane is used to add volume to flattened areas, to plump up lips, and to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep folds. It is manufactured by the same company that makes Restylane. Perlane is thicker than Restylane, thus it is better for deeper or more prominent folds. How It Works: Water is absorbed by the injected hyaluronic acid. This has the effect of building up the area of injection. Duration: Some people find Perlane to be longer lasting than Restylane. However, the FDA commentary is that it lasts up to six months. Price: One syringe of Perlane is $650. Antidote/Reversal Agent: Hyaluronidase is the antidote to Perlane. 3. Radiesse Main Ingredient: Radiesse is made up of calcium hydroxylapatite in the form of microspheres. Uses: Radiesse is used for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the nasolabial folds. It can also be used to plump up cheek bones. How It Works: Radiesse stimulates the body to form new collagen. This is supposed to make the product last longer, thus reducing the need for a touch up. Additionally the gel and calcium-based microspheres add volume to the injected area. Duration: Results are clinically proven to last a year or more. Price: Radiesse normally costs $700 per syringe. Antidote/Reversal Agent: There is no antidote for Radiesse. 4. Restylane Main Ingredient: Hyaluronic Acid Uses: Restylane is used to improve moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles. It can also be used to enhance the lips. How It Works: The area of injection is enhanced due to absorption of water by the hyaluronic acid. Duration: Restylane’s manufacturer claims results can last to up to 18 months. That is however, with repeat injections at 4.5 months or 9 months. Without repeat injections, Restylane may last up to 6 months. Price: Restylane is priced at $700 a syringe. Antidote/Reversal Agent: Hyaluronidase is the antidote to Restylane. 5. Sculptra Main Ingredient: Poly-L-Lactic Acid Uses: Sculptra is used for building up the cheeks, filling in hollows or sunken areas of the face, and increasing skin thickness which decreases the appearance of folds and lines. It is not used to enhance the lips How It Works: Unlike the hyaluronic acid based fillers, Sculptra’s mechanism of action encourages the formation of new collagen in the injected area and the effects are not immediate. Multiple treatments are required, approximately 4 weeks apart. The number of treatments needed depends on the severity of the facial aging. The skin thickness increases gradually. Duration: In a clinical study, the effects of Sculptra lasted up to 2 years after the first treatment session. A full treatment consists of an average of three injections approximately 4-6 weeks aparts. Price: Sculptra comes in a vial as opposed to a syringe. One vial will cost around $1000. Antidote/Reversal Agent: There is no reversal agent for Sculptra. To summarize, Juvéderm, Perlane, Restylane, and Radiesse will offer immediate results that you will see upon leaving the office. While Radiesse and Sculptra do not have an antidote to remove the product, they do offer longer lasting results and also promote the formation of collagen which in the long run will give your skin that youthful appearance. Finding the right dermal filler can be a process, however here at BHPSG we try and make it as easy and enjoyable as possible. During your consultation, Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke will evaluate you and discuss which fillers will give you your desired result. Every person is different and different fillers will be more effective for some than others, so we always recommend you come in for a consult before deciding on which filler you prefer.

During your consultation, Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke will evaluate you and discuss which fillers will give you your desired result. Every person is different and different fillers will be more effective for some than others, so we always recommend you come in for a consult before deciding on which filler you prefer.

Call us today to schedule a consultation!

The Perfect Peel is the only peel that premieres Glutathione as an establishing component and is the only true anti-aging ingredient offered exclusively in this formula. Glutathione is the ultimate antioxidant known to prevent damage to important cellular components caused by peroxides and free radicals.  As we age, our Glutathione levels deplete due to air pollutants, environmental stress, and sun exposure. Glutathione allows deep penetration into the cellular level of the skin which combats oxidant damage and prevents premature wrinkles and signs of aging skin.  Glutathione is proven to lighten pigmentation by reversing the melanin’s metabolism from dark to light. The Perfect Peel will: Reduce/eliminate Acne, Melasma & Hyperpigmentation Reverse signs of Aging, Age Spots & Sun Damage Minimize appearance of Acne Scarring and Blemishes Greatly improve overall tone Smooth any unwanted texture Reduce pore size and soften lines & wrinkles Stimulate collagen & elastin production resulting in firmer skin Prevent and prolong wrinkles & lines Reviewed and approved by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the Perfect Peel is like getting a doctor-administered peel without the cost or pain!

The treatment for the peel is impressively not painful during the application. The application process only takes about 15 mins and you leave the office looking like you have a tan. Our aesthetician will recommend what’s best for you as to how long you should have the product on for. Typically, most are advised to keep the application on for 6-8 hours, or up to 12 hours before washing your face. After the first wash, you will be asked to apply a take-home topical solution for the following two days as well as being advised not to moisturize the skin. The peeling and exfoliation process typically begins on day 3 (when hydrating the skin is allowed with the Perfect Peel Moisturizer), and is at its highest peak of skin shedding by day 5 and 6. For most, the process of skin peeling is done by day 7-9. This peel is designed to be used every 3 to 6 months, depending on your skincare regimen and peel series are available for those looking to get the maximum result! The results are remarkable!
