Freeze away your fat with one hour of treatment (per area), six weeks to see the difference (up to 30% reduction of fat!), and a lifetime to enjoy the results!

Are you frustrated with that muffin top, love handle and belly pooch that seems to just stick around no matter how much you diet and exercise? Before you had two options: live with it or have surgery, which requires recovery and taking time off work, an option many just don’t have. Not with CoolSculpting! Only CoolSculpting targets fat cells alone, eliminating them in an easy, non-invasive fashion that enables you to leave the office in an hour and go about your day! 

On the day of your consultation, Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke will discuss and evaluate your problem areas. After making a treatment plan you can book your CoolSculpting treatment for that same week or day if the schedule permits! Depending on your treatment plan, most patients will be in office on their day of treatment from 1-3 hours (each area of treatment takes one hour). On the day of your treatment, the doctors will mark the areas discussed during your consultation that you will be treating and get you comfortable in the chair. A cold patch will be applied to the first area being treated and then the CoolSculpting device will be attached. The first few minutes you will feel pressure and cooling sensation that may feel strange however after a few minutes this dissipates. You will then lay comfortably with pillows and a blanket for the next hour. You can talk on the phone, do work, watch a movie or simply relax and chill out! You will have a buzzer that will buzz a staff member if you have any issues or discomfort during your hour. After the 60 minutes, one of our staff will massage the treated area for 2-3 minutes and either start your next treatment or book your next appointment for either your next area to be treated or for  your 2-3 months follow up.  That easy and simple.  You ba

In the 3-4 days to follow, you may experience some tingling, pulling or burning sensation which is completely normal. Our office is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have!

After one visit, you’ll typically see a noticeable reduction of fat. It takes a few months to fully realize the effects, mainly because it takes that long for your body to naturally dispose of the fat cells. While most see the results they are looking for after one treatment on an area, we do recommend two treatments to get the best results possible!

TCA peels, Tricholoroacetic acid, can be used in varying strengths depending on each patient’s skin condition, with the most common being 20%. The TCA peel is great for surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes, and pigmentation problems. TCA can be used on the face, under eyes, as well as other areas of the body such as hands, forearms, and chest. The TCA peel removes the top most layers of skin on the face ridding it of dead and old skin leaving behind refreshed and rejuvenated skin. The TCA peel can produce considerable improvement in skin collagen and elastin, reducing facial wrinkles, scars, and discoloring. The TCA peel can:

• Smooth out fine facial wrinkles
• Reduce any lip creases, crow’s feet, and forehead lines
• Reduce of lesions or scarring
• Remove freckles, age spots, and any unwanted pigmentation
• Fix pimples, acne, black heads, and clogged pores
• Restore skin from years of sun exposure
• Lighten the skin

It is necessary to do some preparation for the TCA peel in order to help it penetrate deeper, giving longer lasting results. Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke will prescribe a Triluma cream to be used daily to prep your skin. The TCA peel, while it may only take a few minutes to apply, will have long lasting effects. After your treatment, it will be important to keep your skin hydrated for the first 4 days. Your skin will darken as it dries and will begin to peel after approximately 48 hours. It will take approximately one week for your skin to fully peel and during this time it is important to not pick or pull at the skin as it is peeling as this could cause scarring or other discoloration. You should avoid sun exposure during the process and wear sunscreen daily. If you need a recommendation for good, protective sunscreen we have many options that we sell at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group. After you are finished peeling, overtime your skin will continue to improve and show the great effects from the peel. The TCA peel can be repeated every 3-6 months for optimal results.

Do you always look tired?  Are people asking you if you are not getting enough sleep but you just slept 10 hours?  Do you have dark circles, puffiness, or bags under your eyes all the time?  Are you tired of using eye creams and concealers to just temporarily give the appearance that you slept last night?  If so, we might have the solution for you without incisions and downtime.  A simple 20 minute injectable session with Dr. Layke or Dr. Danielpour might be all that you need for that well rested look and a younger appearance in your  eyes and face..

As plastic surgeons we are trained to “fix” and treat everything with surgery.  However, times are changing and surgeons are taking a less invasive approach.  Less downtime, quick procedures, and immediate gratification for the patient, has led to increased popularity for non-invasive approached to facial rejuvenation.

The are many options for non surgical blepharoplasty through a variety of dermal fillers or lasers.  In this blog we will discuss the use of fillers to achieve a more youthful and well rested look.

It is now possible to correct protruding, or saggy skin around the eyes. And dark circles can now be reliably diminished through the use of these fillers.

How Does Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Work?

If you are considering blepharoplasty to improve the appearance of the skin around your eyes, it is worth understanding how dermal fillers work and why they might be a viable alternative to surgery.

Most of the issues that warrant cosmetic interventions are caused by a depletion of fat under the skin and the thin skin around the eyes.  This can manifest as dark circles or undereye “bags.”

Dermal fillers used in non-surgical blepharoplasty help to make up for the loss of volume in the skin around the eye area.  And they can also help to even out the distribution of fat tissue causing the skin to protrude.  Hyaluronic acids work best for this objective. These include:

• Juvederm
• Restylane

Hyaluronic Acids For Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty

Hyaluronic acids are ideal for applications in non-surgical blepharoplasty.

The chemical structure of hyaluronic acids allow this compound to absorb water and bind effectively with collagen and elastin in the skin tissue.  As a result, skin becomes hydrated, more firm and with a healthier appearance.

Hyaluronic acids are found naturally in the body.  However, as injections, they are bioengineered instead of being harvested from animal sources. This helps to decrease the risk of possible infections and allergic reactions.

How Long Do Results of Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Last?

When used under the eyes, hyaluronic acids last up to a year. Unlike surgical blepharoplasty, the dermal fillers allow the procedure results to adapt to the natural changes your face will undergo with age.  Eyelid enhancement surgery sometimes results in a tight, pulled look around the eyes, changing their original shape.

At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group every patient is different and is treated on an individualized basis.

The liquid face lift is a facial contouring procedure that involves lifting, plumping, filling, smoothing and re-contouring of the face through the use of injectable dermal fillers. As part of the overall procedure, these dermal fillers are often used in conjunction with each other and in addition to Botox or Dysport. The use of Botox or Dysport in addition to dermal fillers can make for better and more long lasting results.

A liquid face lift includes the dermal fillers. JUVEDERM^®, Radiesse^®, Restylane^®, Perlane^® and/or Sculptra^®. Together these fillers can gently lift the individual facial features, reduce wrinkles, creases, line or folds, restore natural facial contours, and give you a more rested and energetic look. While some patients may be looking to lift their entire face, the liquid face lift is also an option for someone who just wants to focus on a certain facial features. For example, under eye bags and dark circles can be masked by using liquid facelift techniques; eyes can be opened up and lids lifted; jowls can be lifted and diminished; natural shape can be restored to flattened cheeks or temple areas; corners of the mouth can be lifted; and bumps on the nose can be hidden. Each of these dermal fillers has unique attributes that work in their own special way to rejuvenate specific areas of the face and most are comprised of natural substances produced by the body, helping to promote new collagen.

The last of the fillers is Sculptra, which is generally used as a treatment for facial lipoatrophy, the loss of fat beneath the skin that sometimes causes sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow eyes. Unlike the other dermal fillers, Sculptra does not produce immediate results. It works by stimulating collagen production, so results appear gradually over a period of a few months. Three to five treatments are usually required, and results can last up to two years or more.

The greatest benefit of the liquid face lift? It can be done on your lunch break and with the help of a little cover up, you can go back to work with no one the wiser!
