VelaShape III Before and After Photos
What are the Side Effects of Botox?
Botox is one of the most popular anti-aging facial non-surgical procedures in the world. When the procedure is performed by a trained and experienced provider at a certified Botox med spa, it can create very desirable aesthetic outcomes in terms of reduction of facial lines and wrinkles. However, patients should be aware that botulinum toxin A, the active ingredient of Botox, is an extremely potent biological agent.
If the Botox treatment is performed wrongly or administered in incorrect dosage, it can cause significant side effects. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by highly experienced physician Dr. Bijan Farah, provides Botox and various other procedures to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and surrounding communities.
Common Side Effects
Botox anti-aging injections are FDA approved and offer high safety and efficacy as long as the treatment is performed by an experienced provider. The most common side effects include bruising or swelling at the site of injections. Some patients may develop flu-like symptoms or headache. Mild tingling or numbness may also occur in the injection site. These are temporary effects, which usually clear on their own. If the injections are not placed correctly by the med spa provider, there is a risk of the medication spreading to surrounding tissue. This can cause more serious side effects such as:- Droopy eyelids
- Crooked smile
- Cockeyed brows
- Excessive tears
- Dry eye
Severe Side Effects
More severe side effects of Botox are highly unlikely, but the possibility exists that the toxin may spread to distant parts of the body and cause botulism-like symptoms. Immediate medical assistance is necessary if the patient notices any of the following symptoms following Botox treatment:- Weakness in the muscles all over the body
- Problems with vision
- Difficulty in swallowing or speaking
- Difficulty in breathing
- Poor bladder control
Precautions
The risk of side effects with Botox is greatly reduced when the patient chooses an experienced provider in a professional medical spa setting. Trends such as “Botox parties” where a physician offers Botox treatment to a group of patients at their home or another non-medical location at a lower cost may pose a higher risk of side effects. These options should preferably be avoided. Botox can have an adverse reaction with certain antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, herbal remedies, and heart and Alzheimer’s drugs. The patient should disclose the medications they may be using currently or have used in the recent past to ensure appropriate decisions can be made by the Botox provider.

VelaShape III is a revolutionary technology to improve body contours, reduce cellulite appearance, and enhance skin tone and texture. The procedure is completely non-surgical and more affordable in comparison to several other invasive and non-invasive med spa body contouring treatments.
During the initial consultation, the treatment provider will explain all aspects of VelaShape III procedure, including its estimated costs. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides this cutting edge treatment to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and surrounding locations.
Cost Comparison with Surgery
Body lift cosmetic surgery is a popular option for skin tightening and body contouring, but the costs may turn out to be prohibitive for many patients. It is an elective cosmetic procedure, which means the sticker price will not be covered under health insurance. Therefore, patients should consider the cost comparison carefully between a body contouring surgery and an alternative med spa procedure such as VelaShape III. A surgical procedure will involve anesthesia costs, surgical room costs, surgeon’s fee, and post-operative expenses such as medical tests, prescription drugs, surgical garments and visits to the surgeon’s office. All these peripheral costs are avoided with VelaShape. The procedure can be performed comfortably without any need for anesthesia. It is an in-office treatment, and does not involve any downtime or recovery expenses.Price Tag Factors
The price tag of VelaShape III can vary from one patient to another and also from one practice to another. The practice location can be an important factor because the average cost of living varies from one region to another. It will affect the sticker price of most types of goods and services, including aesthetic services such as VelaShape III in a particular area. The quality standards, equipment, and training and experience of the staff at a particular medical spa can make a difference to the overall costs. It is important to choose an experienced and reputable facility, overriding other considerations. Personalized care and attention and custom treatments are vital to achieving safe and desirable outcomes with a procedure such as VelaShape III. Some patients may require treatment only in a specific area of the body such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or upper torso, while others may need treatment in multiple areas. Depending on the degree of correction required, the treatment sessions may usually range from one to three sessions. Therefore, the overall costs can differ between two patients at the same practice. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby areas for VelaShape III body contouring treatment.Insurance and Financing
VelaShape III is an aesthetic procedure and not a medical necessity in most cases. Therefore, health insurance coverage is not likely to be available for most patients. However, they can explore various financing options to pay for the procedure in affordable and convenient monthly installments. Professional medical care finance companies offer quick approvals for loans at low interest rates and flexible terms for procedures such as VelaShape III.
