Kybella Injections vs. CoolSculpting's New CoolMini Applicator for Chin Fat Reduction

Kybella Injections vs. CoolSculpting's New CoolMini Applicator for Chin Fat Reduction

Kybella vs CoolMini | Chin Fat | Calabasas Med Spa | Sherman Oaks CAIn 2015, the FDA cleared two non-surgical procedures that are specifically designed to reduce submental fat or excess fat tissue below the chin. These procedures, which include Kybella injections and CoolMini treatment, offer a non-surgical med spa treatment alternative to liposuction surgery. Kybella or ATX-101 involves the administering of multiple injections to reduce excess submental fat, or what is commonly known as double chin. Another non-surgical double chin reduction treatment is CoolMini, which is an innovative device from the makers of CoolSculpting. CoolMini works on the same cooling principle to reduce stubborn fat cells. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides Kybella and CoolMini treatments to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and surrounding communities.  

Kybella Injectable Treatment

Kybella has become the first and only injectable procedure specifically approved by the FDA for the reduction of submental fat. Extensive studies and clinical trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of Kybella. The injectable med spa treatment can be tailored to meet the unique aesthetic needs of a patient who desires a slimmer chin profile without surgery. Patient satisfaction rates are very high because of the targeted outcomes achieved with Kybella in a completely non-surgical manner. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby areas for this procedure.  

How does Kybella Work?

Kybella injectable procedure is based on deoxycholic acid, which is a biological substance in the body to support the absorption of excess fat. When this substance is introduced directly into the submental tissue below the chin through injections, it initiates the destruction of unwanted fat cells. These cells eventually get re-absorbed in the body, revealing a slimmer chin profile. Each treatment session of about 15 to 20 minutes will be spaced one month apart, and up to six sessions may be needed.  

CoolMini Treatment

The CoolMini applicator is designed to reach small or difficult-to-access areas of the body such as the submental area below the chin. The innovative cooling process of CoolMini will freeze away the targeted fat cells, causing their eventual disintegration and removal from the body. CoolMini will clear smaller amounts of fat from below the chin area quickly and efficiently. Most patients may require only one or two treatment sessions with CoolMini to reduce double chin. A single session may last for about one hour. CoolMini treatment program is generally designed to reduce about 20 percent fat in the under-chin area.  

Completely Non-invasive

While Kybella involves multiple injections in every treatment session, the CoolMini treatment is completely non-invasive and does not involve any needles. The procedure involves very little or no discomfort for most patients. CoolMini does not involve any administering of medications. It simply cools the targeted area below the chin to freeze off the fat cells. Even in case of Kybella, most patients will experience minimal discomfort as long as the treatment is administered by an expert provider. Patients should carefully evaluate the pros and cons of both procedures. They may discuss the more suitable treatment option in their particular case with the actual treatment provider.

More than 68 percent patients confirmed a positive response with this treatment in the pivotal Phase III studies. Patients reported reduction in the amount of fat in the submental region. Many patients also confirmed that they achieved emotional benefits due to the reduction of excess fat below the chin.

Rejuvenate Med Spa Now Offers UltraShape Non-Invasive Body Contouring!

UltraShape Non-Invasive Body Contouring

Uneven body contours due to excess fat pockets in certain areas can significantly compromise the figure and personality. UltraShape is a completely non-invasive med spa treatment to reduce unwanted fat tissue and restore an attractive, youthful looking body. UltraShape holds the distinction of being the first and only FDA cleared non-invasive technology designed to enhance the body shape using ultrasound energy. UltraShape treatment involves exposure of the targeted area to pulsed, focused waves of ultrasound to selectively and mechanically destroy unwanted fat cells. This unique in-office procedure can typically be completed in about one hour, and involves no bruising, swelling or downtime. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides UltraShape to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and surrounding locations.

Tested and Proven Procedure

UltraShape has been accepted as the body contouring procedure of choice by patients as well as leading med spa providers in the US and around the world. The New Beauty Magazine awarded the “Best Body Contouring Treatment” award to UltraShape in 2014. Over 300,000 UltraShape procedures have been successfully performed worldwide. Patient feedback and data available with the company indicates as many as 96 percent of the patients achieved measurable fat reduction, and over 94 percent were satisfied with their results.

Highlights

Localized fat deposits can be cut down and body circumference reduced to a desirable level with UltraShape procedure. Some of the key highlights of UltraShape include:
  • Clinically proven and established technique for permanent, targeted and instant fat cell destruction.
  • Homogeneous, even fat reduction throughout the treated areas.

  • Minimal or no downtime is involved.
  • Entire treatment protocol can be completed in about four weeks.
  • Results are measurable, long lasting and become visible within a few weeks.
  • High patient satisfaction rates with no reported side effects.

How does UltraShape Work?

The UltraShape device will allow focused energy beams to converge into a limited focal volume and treat targeted subcutaneous fat at a controlled depth. This ensures that the surrounding healthy muscle and tissue are not harmed. The technique involves delivery of ultrasound energy in short bursts or pulses. This produces a mechanical, non-thermal impact on selected cells that are most vulnerable to mechanical disruption. The differentiating factor between UltraShape and many other non-invasive body contouring treatments is the intensity of energy. UltraShape involves a low intensity exposure, which yields the desired results in a non-thermal manner. As a result, sensitive nerves, muscles, and blood vessels remain safe and intact. Pulsed energy release allows for control over temperature, which ensures total patient comfort and little or no downtime following the treatment.

The monetary amount of these procedures can differ from one practice to another depending on various factors. Dr. Farah encourages patients to ask any questions related to financial factors and other aspects, and take a decision only after they are fully satisfied. A well-informed patient will usually make the best decision and choose the right treatment among various available options.   Geographical Location The dollar figure of hair replacement treatments can vary from one geographical location to another. For instance, the cost of LLLT or PRP therapy for hair replacement in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby areas may not be the same as the monetary amount in, say, Maryland. The cost of living index varies from one region to another, which will affect the average price of most types of goods and services, including hair replacement treatments.   Type of Treatment Hair replacement treatments include hair transplant surgery, topical and oral medications, LLLT, and PRP therapy, among others. Rejuvenate med spa provides LLLT and PRP therapy, which are considerably cheaper as compared to surgical or other advanced options. Different treatment providers may use different laser technologies even within LLLT. Therefore, its cost may also vary from one place to another.   Quality Standards No two medical spas will be the same in terms of the kind of personalized care and attention they offer, the range of technology and procedures, and the type of general services and amenities they provide.

Patients should view the costs in the light of these facts while weighing their options for hair replacement treatment.  

Financing and Insurance

Hair loss replacement is generally treated as an aesthetic or anti-aging procedure, which is elective in nature. Therefore, the cost of this procedure is unlikely to be covered under the patient’s health plan. However, the patients should explore their financing options well in advance to make it easy to pay for the procedure. Top tier medical financing companies, bank loans, credit cards, and personal borrowings are some of the financing options available to most patients. Do not rule out crowd funding either.   See all Medical Spa Non-Surgical Procedures Dr. Bijan Farah performs on patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Tazana, Woodland Hills, CA, and surrounding communities.

PRP Therapy for Hair Replacement

Platelet Rich Plasma, popularly known as PRP, is a cutting edge treatment for hair loss. Cell therapy, involving cell multiplication and deployment of growth factors, has emerged as an important area of stem cell research in recent years. Hair replacement is one of the key applications where scientists have seen very encouraging results when cell therapy is used. Hair restoration with the PRP injection therapy involves the use of the own blood of the patient. The PRP therapy expert will collect the pre-determined amount of blood and run it through a centrifugal process. This process will separate PRP from the blood. This PRP or platelet rich plasma in the blood will include powerful natural hair growth factors. The PRP component will be injected into the targeted areas of the scalp to stimulate the hair re-growth and produce new, thicker hair. The treatment provider may recommend PRP therapy as a standalone injectable procedure to replace hair or in combination with other therapies or surgery. The results with this innovative procedure have been clearly positive for a number of patients.
