Botox is the world’s most sought-after non-surgical treatment to enhance the signs of facial aging. The FDA-approved Botox med spa treatment can mitigate the appearance of mild to moderate wrinkles and fine lines on specific areas of the face. It can help restore a noticeably younger facial appearance almost immediately. Patients can expect safe and predictable results in the hands of an experienced and qualified Botox provider. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides Botox facial rejuvenation treatments to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

Potential Side Effects

Botox has a high safety profile, but new patients should still understand the potential side effects and risks associated with the treatment to make an enlightened decision. The primary component in Botox is botulinum toxin type A. This is a strong biological agent that can lead to significant side-effects if delivered incorrectly.   The potential side effects of Botox are:

• allergic responses
• itching
• shortness of breath
• muscle weakness
• difficulty swallowing
• stomach pain
• muscle stiffness
• rash
• headache
• neck or back pain
• nausea
• diarrhea
• loss of appetite

Reactions at the injection site include:

• bleeding
• bruising
• swelling
• redness
• pain
• infection

 

Other Side Effects

• cough
• fever
• respiratory infections
• dry mouth
• cold symptoms
• increased sweating in sites other than the underarms
• difficulty urinating
• anxiety
• flu symptoms
• sore throat
• runny nose
• dizziness
• drowsiness
• tired feeling
• ringing in your ears
• urinary tract infections
• burning/painful urination

Ptosis (drooping of the lids), swelling of the cornea (keratitis), itchy eyes, dryness, eye irritation, double vision, increased sensitivity to light, double vision, itchy eyes, reduced blinking, and eyelid inflammation or bruising may occur when used to treat blepharospasm.  

Serious Risks

The below mentioned may also occur if Botox is not administered accurately or in the correct dose:

• A crooked or twisted smile
• Weak bladder control
• Muscle weakness in areas of the injections
• Problems in swallowing or speaking
• Flu-like symptoms
• Unexplained tearing
• Vision issues
• Cockeyed eyebrows

 

Who Should Avoid Botox?

Establishing the candidacy of an individual is important for a safe and predictable Botox med spa procedure. The treatment provider may advise people with the following conditions to avoid Botox use:

• Existing allergy to a Botox ingredient
• Experienced side effects from Botox or a variant after a previous procedure
• Presence of untreated skin infection in the injection area
• Suffering from a nerve or muscles condition such as ALS, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, or myasthenia gravis
• Experiencing chronic breathing problems or asthma
• Bleeding issues
• Received facial surgery recently
• Weak forehead muscles
• Inability to stop the use of blood thinners and NSAIDs for a short duration prior to the injectable procedure

Allergen, the manufacturer of Botox, also asks women who are pregnant and nursing to avoid receiving Botox injections.  

Choose the Right Botox Provider

After researching the Botox injectable treatment, the patient should choose a cutting-edge and fully-equipped med spa with expertise in administering Botox injections in a safe and effective manner. If the medical spa runs under the leadership and supervision of an experienced doctor, they will make sure that the Botox treatment provider follows top-notch quality standards, best practices, and recent safety protocols.

ThermiVa med spa procedure offers patients safe and incision-free skin tightening that is gentle enough for the delicate skin of the vagina yet produces dramatic skin-tightening outcomes. The 20-minute ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation session can be undertaken discreetly and comfortably on an outpatient basis and does not involve any downtime. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides vaginal rejuvenation treatments to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

How many ThermiVa treatments does a patient require?

ThermiVa treatment involves three 30-minute procedures performed per patient, spaced one month apart. Due to the short timeframe, patients are able to resume their regular activities or work on the day of the procedure itself.  

Who should get the ThermiVa Treatment?

Ideal candidates for ThermiVa med spa treatment are patients who have a loose vagina after childbirth or menopause, vaginal dryness or lubrication, sexual dysfunction, or incontinence.  

When will Outcomes be evident?

The results are immediately perceptible. In fact, there is no other procedure undertaken where patients notice results right after their initial treatment. While the outcomes will be noticeable at first, the final and more conclusive outcomes will be noticeable after the third treatment.  

Does the ThermiVa Procedure Hurt?

ThermiVa is a completely painless procedure, and patients will not experience blistering, burning, or any other type of discomfort.    

When can a Patient engage in Intercourse?

As ThermiVa is non-invasive and uses gentle heat, patients can engage in sexual activity with their partner on the day of the treatment itself.  

How long will the Outcomes last and will I have to do a Follow-up Procedure?

Yes, the patient will eventually require a follow-up ThermiVa procedure. Most patients undergo routine maintenance between 9 to 12 months after their final procedure. But some patients have who have undergone the treatment two years ago may still not require maintenance.  

Dos and Don’ts after the Treatment

 

• No Sexual Intercourse: It may be obvious to some to refrain from sexual intercourse, but not as much to others. While patients may be excited to try out intercourse with their newly rejuvenated and tightened vagina, they must make sure to let it heal.

Having sex too soon can lead to vaginal tears making the patient more prone to infection development. In general, patients should avoid sexual intercourse for around one to two weeks following ThermiVa treatment.  

• No Bath or Swimming: It is not a judicious idea for the patient to take a bath on the day of the med spa treatment (as it can cause infection). In addition, she should also avoid swimming for at least one or two weeks following the treatment as the pool water may contain bacteria that can lead to infections.

 

• No Heavy Lifting: Patients should avoid lifting heavy weights for a least a week after their treatment. For women with young children or grandchildren, it is an astute idea to hire a babysitter or ask for help so that they do not have to reach down to pick them up. Excessive weight and heavy lifting can cause fragile tissue to rip open or create a strain on the treatment area.

The patient is encouraged to undertake regular tasks as long as there is no strain or irritation in the treated areas. Cotton underwear “granny panties” and loose clothing is advised. They may return to routine activities after 24 hours, ensuring minimal friction to the treated area. Patients may resume driving after one or two days as long as they are not using narcotics.

For women who are unhappy about their vaginal appearance due to loosening of the tissue, vaginal rejuvenation to restore the pre-pregnancy appearance and feel of the vagina may be an ideal solution. Women who seek vaginal rejuvenation without the involvement of a surgical procedure, such as vaginoplasty, may consider a med spa vaginal rejuvenation treatment. ThermiVa vaginal tightening technology offers a unique, non-surgical way to restore the pre-pregnancy condition of the vagina. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides vaginal rejuvenation treatments to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.  

RF-Based Treatment

ThermiVa RF system uses radio frequency (RF) technology to address vulvar sagging and vaginal looseness in a non-invasive way. The medical spa procedure involves the controlled and gentle delivery of RF energy in a non-surgical manner directly to the targeted vulvovaginal region. The RF energy will produce controlled heat, which helps tighten internal vaginal laxity as well as the external labia. The impacted tissue will constrict to a tight bundle. ThermiVa also enhances the production of fresh collagen for more sustainable and natural looking outcomes. In addition, it may also support tissue and nerve healing. RF is renowned for its therapeutic effects in muscle and tissue healing.  

Treatment Focus

Vaginal Laxity ThermiVa med spa procedure is meant to accomplish vaginal tightening at the opening as well as the full length of the vagina. The outcomes will be noticeable to both the patient and her partner. Vulvar/Labial Laxity The ThermiVa RF system tightens and reduces sagging in the labial tissue. The patient will experience smoother and softer skin. After the procedure, the patient will be able to wear tighter clothing in a comfortable manner and will be less self-conscious. Vaginal/Vulvar Dryness This treatment allows for the production of softer and thicker skin and improves the moisturizing of the internal and external regions. This offers the patient more comfort and improves sexual activity. Mild to Moderate Stress Incontinence Some moms may suffer from mild to moderate stress incontinence at some point after giving birth. The ThermiVa treatment helps reduce the incidence of accidents and leakage as well as urge symptoms. Sexual or Orgasmic Dysfunction Certain women may experience improved sensitivity, more coordinated and stronger muscular contractions, and an increased ability to achieve orgasms in a shorter duration of time.  

Benefits

The ThermiVa technique offers the following benefits:

• Treats the vagina and labia majora simultaneously
• Helps tighten the vulvovaginal tissue
• Enhances the production of fresh collagen
• Tauter, smoother, softer skin
• Patient controlled heat and no known incidence of blisters or burns
• No stinging sensation

 

Skin Cooling Mechanism

ThermiVa’s advanced technology comprises an integrated skin-cooling mechanism to prevent skin from burning while ensuring that the patient is entirely comfortable during and after their procedure. A majority of patients accomplish optimal vaginal skin tightening with three ThermiVa treatment sessions. But depending on the degree of skin laxity (looseness) in the patient, specific treatment protocols may differ slightly.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is a revolutionary med spa procedure that can restore hair growth in a minimally invasive way. This treatment has an established record of high potential in hair restoration as it uses the body’s own natural growth factors to rejuvenate damaged hair follicles offering hair re-growth in regions of the scalp that have undergone the PRP treatment. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides PRP injections for hair restoration to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

PRP Hair Restoration

Researchers believed for a long time that hair follicles that stopped generating hair are dead. But recent studies indicate that these unproductive hair follicles are only damaged, injured, or dormant. These follicles can be rejuvenated to re-grow hair in the long-term. PRP hair restoration procedure can help patients accomplish this objective. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is found in the human body. This plasma contains powerful growth factors. The health care provider will inject these growth factors into the impacted areas on the scalp to activate the dead adult stem cells in the compromised hair follicle. At the same time, these growth factors promote the re-generation of localized cells and develop new blood vessels to revitalize the hair follicles.  

PRP Treatment

The PRP treatment provider will take a small amount of blood from the patient. Then they will process this blood in a centrifugal system to separate the PRP and rejuvenate the growth factors within it. The provider will apply a local anesthetic to the treatment area of the scalp when the PRP is ready to be injected. The PRP hair restoration specialist will inject it into the regions that are most impacted by hair loss. They will use a very fine gauge needle to inject the PRP in a matrix pattern. The patient may undergo the PRP hair restoration med spa treatment combined with a low-level laser therapy to improve the effectiveness of the results, depending on their specific needs.  

Cutting-Edge Treatment Approaches

PRP medical spa treatment outcomes are constantly improving as hair re-growth techniques with PRP are developing further and becoming more advanced. PRP treatment commonly involves only one treatment session. However, some experts recommend a number of PRP sessions to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. This therapy also helps enhance the hair graft survival rate when used before or during a hair transplant procedure.  

Various Types of Hair Loss treatable with PRP

PRP for hair restoration provides excellent results to patients experiencing hair loss due to various medical conditions, such as:

• Alopecia Areata
• Alopecia Totalis
• Hypotrichosis
• Female Pattern Hair Loss
• Male Pattern Hair Loss
• Hair loss due to iron deficiency, metabolic conditions, and drug side-effects.

 

PRP Outcomes

In most cases, PRP therapy offers dramatic new hair growth and enhancements in hair density, thickness, and elasticity. The outcomes of the procedure will be noticeable within six to eight weeks of the first treatment. The full outcomes will take up to a year to become apparent after the initial treatment. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas for PRP hair restoration.

Most women come to accept the fact that their body is undergoing changes that are beyond their control. It commences with puberty and continues as a woman progresses into menopause. As a woman ages, the breasts, abdomen, and hips take on new proportions. Women deal with erratic raging hormonal fluctuations and see their bodies change completely with pregnancy. In addition, weight gain and loss also create changes in the body. Even with all these changes, most women never consider dealing with vaginal discomfort.  

Not a Sunny Feeling

While the primary care doctor may say that all is well, many women feel irritated, dry, and uncomfortable in the vaginal region. Many women attribute this to hormonal changes that occur as they move closer to menopause. However, this situation can make a woman feel increasingly uncomfortable, especially during intimate moments with their partner. ThermiVa is an innovative med spa procedure that can help reverse vaginal dryness and address other uncomfortable symptoms that a woman may be experiencing. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides non-surgical treatments for vaginal rejuvenation, such as ThermiVa to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.  

ThermiVa for Vaginal Dryness

Revolutionary devices such as ThermiVa can help mitigate vaginal dryness by bringing about a change in the “health of the vaginal lining.” It enhances blood supply to the region which promotes the generation of collagen. New collagen is tighter, more pliable, and softer. This enhanced collagen makes the vaginal lining thicker and reduces the incidence of painful intercourse. Many women with prolonged dryness are able to undergo ThermiVA treatments as the handpiece is narrow and meant to follow the vaginal curve in comparison to the larger devices of CO2 lasers.  

How Does ThermiVa Work?

ThermiVa offers a non-surgical way to address vaginal issues that can bring a patient relief. It uses radiofrequency energy. The applicator is gently placed on the delicate vaginal tissues. The procedure has a warming effect as precisely controlled energy delivers heat to the vaginal area. The patient will feel only a slight warm sensation as the ThermiVa works to enhance the production of collagen and improve circulation in this sensitive body area. The rejuvenation of the tissues offers relief to the patient. The lubrication will also increase reducing the sensation of irritation or burning which can make a woman feel uncomfortable. It enables women to enjoy sexual activity once again.  

Is ThermiVa a Suitable Choice for You?

For women who are starting to experience the symptoms of menopause or those who have already been through menopause, ThermiVa may be an ideal med spa procedure. Every woman must endure this phase of life. While some women do not experience any significant issues during this period, others may experience more pronounced symptoms. ThermiVa may be an effective solution for women after pregnancy as well. The trauma of childbirth can damage sensitive vaginal tissues. ThermiVa may help restore this delicate body area. This innovative procedure offers a promising solution for patients who do not want to undergo surgery or other invasive treatments.

Skin laxity occurs not only on facial skin but also on the skin on the body, especially in areas where the skin is very delicate, such as the skin on and around the vagina.  

The Objective

The treatment providers at Rejuvenate Medical Spa use the skin tightening properties of ThermiVa to firm and tighten vaginal skin and restore a tauter, more youthful, and desirable skin appearance without invasive surgery.   Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides non-surgical treatments for vaginal rejuvenation, such as ThermiVa to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

How does it work?

ThermiVa offers patients a safe and incision-free skin tightening treatment that is gentle enough for the delicate skin in the vaginal area, yet produces dramatic skin-tightening outcomes.   The comfortable 20-minute ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation session can be undertaken in a comfortable and discreet manner on an outpatient basis. It does not involve any post-treatment downtime. In this procedure, radio frequency (RF) energy is used to enhance the generation of fresh collagen cells while stimulating existing collagen and elastin fibers. This offers two primary benefits:

• Upon stimulation of the existing collagen and elastin fibers, the skin instantly tightens and lifts in the designated treatment area
• Over the next few months, as the collagen regeneration process continues, the patient will experience the long-term skin-tightening effects of their ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation treatment.

ThermiVa’s advanced technology includes an integrated skin-cooling mechanism which prevents the skin from burning and enables the patient to remain entirely comfortable during and after their treatment. A majority of patients accomplish effective vaginal tightening with three ThermiVa med spa treatment sessions. But depending on the degree of skin laxity in an individual patient, specific treatment protocols may differ slightly.

CoolSculpting refers to a non-invasive cosmetic med spa procedure to achieve enhanced body contours. In this procedure, fat cells are frozen and gradually killed off to create a sleeker, more sculpted appearance. The remarkable part is that there is no involvement of needles, surgical scalpel, or anesthesia. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides body contouring procedures to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.  

How many Treatment sessions are Necessary?

The treatment provider will devise a comprehensive CoolSculpting fat reduction plan for the patient. In general, a CoolSculpting treatment site is roughly the size of the hand. Therefore, one love handle requires one treatment, two love handles require two treatments, and the lower abdomen necessitates two treatment sessions as well. One CoolSculpting treatment session usually eliminates 20 to 25 percent of the fat that it targets. Multiple treatments in the same area can eliminate up to 50 percent of the targeted fat.    

A Single Coolsculpting Treatment May Be All You Need

CoolSculpting med spa treatment is not designed to help patients lose weight. But it can enhance the body shape making it appear visibly slimmer. The reason for this is that a 20 to 25 percent fat reduction can have a massive effect on the appearance of stubborn bulges. However, it is not as effective in more substantial areas of fat.    

Multiple Treatments for Stubborn Fat

If the patient has a small amount of stubborn fat, a single round of CoolSculpting can effectively address the issue. But to slim a larger area or an area with more fat on the body, the patient will require multiple treatments. Most patients achieve desirable outcomes after two sessions of the CoolSculpting procedure. The patient may experience dramatic improvements in their physical appearance after two to three procedures. Theoretically, there is no limit on the number of procedures that a patient can undergo. CoolSculpting is a safe procedure that creates a natural body response to fat elimination. Each treatment will be undertaken several months apart. This will allow the body sufficient time to react normally as well as expel the fat cells in an organic manner. In general, it’s astute to wait at least 30 days prior to starting a new CoolSculpting session, with four months being optimal. Patients should ensure that they are healthy prior to each round of treatment. In case they have undergone previous treatments, they should wait to treat the area again to make sure all possible side-effects have resolved.  

Treatments are as Unique as Your Body

There is no sure way to establish exactly how many rounds of treatment a patient will need. In general, patients within 20 to 30 pounds of their ideal weight range, and particular problem areas should not need more than one to two treatments. Patients are typically able to completely transform their body shape after three treatment sessions. However, it is vital to maintain reasonable expectations. Ideally, patients should wait for four entire months following their procedure before seeking a second or third round of treatment. CoolSculpting relies on the body's own ability to eliminate fat cells. For this reason, it may take time for noticeable results to become apparent.    

Giving it Another Shot

Patients should not get frustrated by waiting for their desired results to materialize. If they do not see the expected results four about months after their procedure, they may consider seeking a second round of treatment. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas for body contouring treatments.

The patient’s new physique will be more or less permanent after CoolSculpting body contouring med spa treatment. In fact, the patient’s body shape will simply become a slightly larger version of their pre-treatment figure, even if they put on a moderate amount of weight following the procedure. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides body contouring procedures to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

Permanent Fat Cell Reduction

The fat cells in the area treated with CoolSculpting are eliminated permanently, and these dead fat cells will not return. The adult body cannot generate new fat cells, even if the individual gains a moderate amount of weight. Therefore, the fat cells eliminated by liposuction are gone for good. The body contouring effects of CoolSculpting will be noticeable until the patient does not gain an excessive amount of weight. But, it is vital for patients to understand that the fat cells that remain in the treated site after CoolSculpting can grow bigger if they put on a large amount of body weight, Over time, the patient will experience changes to their physique due to the natural process of aging. However, they can continue to enjoy the cosmetic benefits of CoolSculpting as long as they follow a balanced diet and regular exercise regimen.  

What Becomes of the Fat Cells and Can They Re-Grow?

Once fat cells are removed from the adult body via CoolSculpting, they cannot re-grow. Patients can be assured that these fat cells cannot return. The body contouring advantages of liposuction are permanent. However, an increase in fat may occur with significant weight gain. CoolSculpting eliminates fat cells from the treated sites and offers the benefits of permanent contours, even with moderate weight gain. However, the fat cells remaining in the treated area can increase in size, which may cause the treated area to appear larger. Patients should follow a balanced diet and exercise plan to make sure that the results of their CoolSculpting med spa treatment sustain.  

Watch What You Eat

Patients can maintain their sleeker post-liposuction body shape in the following ways:

• Limit the consumption of carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, and bread
• Eliminate sugar and unhealthy fats such as vegetable oil
• Include sufficient amounts of healthy vegetables in their diet
• Consume proteins such as pork, beef, and fish
• Drink plenty of water
• Do not skip meals and have a healthy breakfast every day

Restricting carbohydrates in the diet is an effective method for many patients to reduce weight. In addition, cutting down on sugars, such as foods with a high glycemic index, can help reduce and maintain the body weight in the long-run. Avoiding starches and food items such as muffins, bagels, cereal, crackers, and bread also helps CoolSculpting candidates to maintain their weight. It is also a good idea to include large amounts of salad greens in the diet.    

Make sure you get Sufficient Sleep

According to studies, patients with regular sleep habits have a lower percentage of body fat compared to those with erratic sleep cycles. Research indicates that a ninety-minute variation in the sleep duration can have a profound effect on the amount of fat that a body stores. Women who sleep for under 6 ½ hours or more than 8 ½ hours tend to have a higher percentage of body fat, while those who lie between these metrics fare better on fat indexes.
