Remove Wrinkles and Resurface Your Skin With Bovie Medical’s Renuvion (formally J-Plasma)

Posted on May 15, 2018 by Rejuvenate Medical Spa

J-Plasma from Bovie Medical Corporation is a patented plasma-based med spa procedure to resurface the skin and rejuvenate soft tissue in specific areas. J-Plasma makes use of an innovative helium ionization process to create a focused and stable plasma beam that allows the treatment provider to resurface the skin with higher precision and in a minimally invasive way. The advanced J-Plasma device can deliver three separate energy modalities to match with the skin tightening and resurfacing needs of different patients. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides J-Plasma treatment to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and other cities and neighborhoods in this region of California.

J-Plasma Enrollment in Clinical Study

Bovie Medical Corporation, the developer of J-Plasma, has now announced that it has enrolled the first patient in an IDE (Investigational Device Exemption) clinical study in the US. This study will reveal more facts about the efficacy and safety of J-Plasma technology for dermal skin resurfacing. This comprehensive clinical study will be carried out at multiple centers, and will evaluate the benefits of J-Plasma procedure for the diminishing of facial wrinkles, creases and rhytides. The study will enroll 55 eligible patients and will be performed at up to five investigational centers. Enrolled patients will go through one treatment with the J-Plasma technique. Their severity of facial wrinkles will be assessed at baseline and thereafter at every follow up point. According to Charlie Goodwin, CEO of Bovie Medical, the developer’s long-term clinical strategy aims to expand the clinical indications of J-Plasma for use in aesthetic enhancement, starting with dermal skin resurfacing procedures. With the enrollment of the first patient in the skin resurfacing clinical study, the company has now achieved an important milestone in this journey. Bovie Medical will utilize the results of this study to demonstrate the aesthetic benefits and safety of J-Plasma and submit the technology to the US FDA for their review and clearance.

Why choose J-Plasma dermal skin resurfacing?

Patients choose J-Plasma med spa procedure for skin rejuvenation due to the following reasons:

Improved results achieved in a minimally invasive way
Comfortable in-office procedure
Can be completed in about one hour
Performed using only local anesthesia
Almost no visible incisions or scarring

What is Sub-dermal Skin Tightening?

While the traditional facelift surgery involves significant incisions, long recovery and potential scarring, the sub-dermal skin tightening with J-Plasma allows the qualified providers at Dr. Farah’s office to perform the procedure in a minimally invasive way. The provider will place tiny incisions under the chin and behind the ears to keep the scarring very discreet and minimal. Through the incisions, the provider will deliver plasma energy to remove excess fat tissue while tightening the lax skin in the targeted area. The heat energy promotes natural healing and fresh collagen production. The provider uses the plasma energy to tighten and sculpt the tissue through the neck and jaw line to create a more youthful appearance and firmer skin. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas across the horizon for J-Plasma treatment.

Freeze Away The Fat With CoolSculpting

Posted on May 10, 2018 by Rejuvenate Medical Spa

In recent years, CoolSculpting has emerged as one of the most effective and reliable non-invasive fat reduction treatments available for women as well as men. However, many new patients may still have concerns about the efficacy of this treatment in eliminating unwanted fat pockets, and worry whether the outcomes will appear natural and sustainable. CoolSculpting is designed to eliminate fat cells by simply freezing away the fat. This leads to enhanced body contours without any need for needles, medication, or surgery. This innovative and entirely non-surgical med spa procedure produces long lasting results. During the initial consultation, the CoolSculpting provider will discuss several aspects of the procedure including the sustainability of the outcomes. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides CoolSculpting to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities across the hoizon.

Treatment Delivery

CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved and patented treatment that will eliminate stubborn fat cells through a unique cooling process. The patient can relax in a comfortable environment at the med spa as the CoolSculpting applicators freeze the fat cells in the problem areas. One CoolSculpting session can take almost 40 minutes with the new, advanced applicators. These treatment sessions can be conveniently scheduled for busy patients. The treatment does not involve any downtime. The patients can resume their regular routine or go back to their workplace right after the session.

Sustainable Results

The fat cells that have been frozen through CoolSculpting will slowly start to crystallize and die out. These will be eliminated from the body over the next few weeks through the body’s natural metabolic process. Patients often see enhancement in their body contours after only one session. However, multiple treatments will help the patient achieve a progressive fat reduction. Many patients can expect to achieve around 20 percent reduction in fat in the treated locations. In approximately 2 to 4 months, patients will achieve ideal outcomes with CoolSculpting.

Permanent Fat Elimination

Harvard scientists developed the unique cooling treatment technology of CoolSculpting. The applicator exposes the fat cells to controlled temperatures, which causes the fat cells freeze and slowly disintegrate. Such disintegrated fat cells will be absorbed by the body. Adults do not produce new fat cells. This means that once the fat cell is destroyed through CoolSculpting, it will not re-grow. This leads to a permanent reduction in fat because the targeted fat cells are eliminated forever. But patients must recognize that CoolSculpting is not a substitute for exercise and a well-balanced diet. CoolSculpting treatment can only remove about 20 percent of the fat cells. The fat cells that remain can still grow larger and affect the body's contours if the patient does not stay within their ideal weight range. Therefore, it is vital for patients to maintain optimal body weight during and after the CoolSculpting treatment to extend its benefits over a long period of time. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and other cities and towns in this part of the country for CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting Body Contouring

Posted on May 5, 2018 by Rejuvenate Medical Spa

CoolSculpting med spa treatment will freeze and eliminate the excess fat tissue, creating a sleeker and slimmer body contour in the treated locations. Some areas that CoolSculpting can address include the thighs, love handles, upper arms, hips, and abdomen. New CoolSculpting devices such as CoolMini can reduce fat deposits in smaller areas, for instance, under the chin. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by the dignified Dr. Bijan Farah, provides CoolSculpting to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations in this section of the nation.

Natural Looking Body Contours

The aesthetic outcomes of CoolSculpting are more conservative, non-invasive, and natural-looking in comparison to a surgical procedure. The complete disintegration of treated fat cells happens gradually over several weeks. This makes the outcomes appear more natural and sustainable. Other people may not even notice that the patient has undergone a sudden or drastic fat loss treatment. CoolSculpting entails a unique cooling process, which is safe and gentle on the body and does not harm the surrounding healthy tissue. This is in contrast to various other body contouring procedures that involve heat, aggressive destruction of fat cells, or extraction.

Minimal Downtime

A significant advantage of CoolSculpting is that the patient will not go through any downtime after the treatment. Busy moms and working professionals increasingly choose CoolSculpting as it enables them to resume their routine or work quickly after the treatment session. Many patients decide to undergo a CoolSculpting med spa session during their lunch break at work and then return to work after the procedure.

How does it work?

The innovative cryolipolysis process forms the basis of the CoolSculpting technology. Harvard scientists developed this technology for fat reduction. The cold energy disseminated by the device freezes and eliminates the targeted fat cells. These cells then exit the body via the body’s natural metabolic process. The body appears more defined and slimmer as the dead cells exit the body. The CoolSculpting procedure will involve a few sessions of 40 minutes each. The procedure does not require any cuts, needles, or medications. Furthermore, CoolSculpting does not involve anesthesia.

Fat Elimination

The objective of CoolSculpting is to destroy unwanted fat cells while not damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. Almost 20 percent of fat cells are removed during the treatment. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they do not re-grow and are eliminated permanently. Patients must understand that CoolSculpting is a procedure that can shrink or sculpt fat. It can help create improved body contours, but it is not a fat loss treatment. If the patient gains weight, the fat cells that remain in the body will grow as well. This will again adversely affect the contours.

Innovations in CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting now offers an innovative 3-in-1 CoolAdvantage applicator. This applicator can address bigger surface areas at one time and deliver colder temperatures for faster action. This innovation has been instrumental in considerably reducing the CoolSculpting treatment time. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and other communities and cities in this part of California for CoolSculpting.

Nail Fungus Treatment

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Rejuvenate Medical Spa

What is Nail Fungus?

Onychomycosis or nail fungus is a common condition that typically appears as a yellow or white spot underneath the tip of a fingernail or toenail. In absence of timely treatment, the fungal infection can spread deep into the nail, creating conspicuous aesthetic concerns. Topical or oral anti-fungal medications may only provide temporary relief, and the nail fungus may recur. Laser treatment at a qualified med spa can offer an advanced way to get rid of nail fungus with minimal risk of recurrence. The procedure is safe and effective with long-term results.

ThermiVa Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment | Los Angeles Med Spa

Posted on April 1, 2018 by Rejuvenate Medical Spa

What is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

ThermiVa Vagina Tightening Before After Photos

Childbirth, aging, heredity, and other factors can sometimes create muscle and tissue laxity in the vaginal canal. If a woman is bothered by the lax appearance of the vagina due to weak tissue, she may choose an advanced non-surgical med spa vaginal rejuvenation procedure called ThermiVa. With this safe and proven treatment, it is possible to restore the pre-pregnancy appearance and feel of the vagina. ThermiVa vaginal tightening procedure can be performed in an office setting, and does not involve any cuts, incisions, injections or medications. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.

RF Technology Based Treatment

ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation procedure is based on the advanced radio frequency (RF) technology to improve vaginal looseness and vulvar sagging in a completely non-invasive way. The med spa treatment provider will deliver controlled RF energy directly to the affected vulvo-vaginal area. The heat generated in the process will evenly penetrate into the deeper vaginal tissue to contract it into a tighter bundle. ThermiVa will help to tighten the outer labia as well as improve internal vaginal laxity. The RF heat energy will also help to trigger the new production of collagen fibers for more natural looking and sustainable outcome from within. Tissue and nerve healing may also occur in the process as RF is known to provide therapeutic benefits for muscle and tissue healing.

Focus Areas of the Treatment

ThermiVa RF system will focus on the following aspects: Vaginal Laxity ThermiVa will provide vaginal tightening at the opening as well as the full length of the vagina. Both the patient and her partner can feel noticeable improvement. Vulvar/Labial Laxity The procedure will reduce labial tissue sagging and tighten the vulvar area. Skin will become supple and smooth. The patient will feel more confident to wear tighter clothes after the full effects of the treatment are established. Vaginal/Vulvar Dryness Softer and thicker skin will be generated with ThermiVa treatment, and it will allow for moisturizing of the external and internal areas. As the dryness is reduced, the patient will feel more comfortable and it will also help improve their sexual activity. Stress Incontinence If the patient has suffered from mild to moderate stress incontinence following childbirth, it can be addressed with ThermiVa treatment. The procedure may reduce the incidence of urinary leakage and also mitigate the urge symptoms. Sexual or Orgasmic Dysfunction In some cases, ThermiVa may lead to enhanced sensitivity, more coordinated and robust muscular contractions, and an improved ability to achieve orgasms in a shorter time period.

Benefits

Some of the vital benefits of ThermiVa RF vaginal rejuvenation system include:

Treats both labia major and the vagina
Helps in tightening of the vulvovaginal tissue

Allergan Receives FDA Clearance for CoolSculpting Treatment to Improve Appearance of Lax Tissue in the Double Chin

Posted on March 13, 2018 by Rejuvenate Medical Spa

Allergan, the manufacturer of CoolSculpting body contouring med spa treatment, has now received FDA clearance for CoolSculpting for the cosmetic treatment of lax tissue in the double chin. CoolSculpting is already a popular non-invasive treatment to reduce stubborn fat deposits in the submental area (below the chin), which give the appearance of a double chin. How long does Juvederm Vollure Filler Last? | Encino Medical Spa

How long does Juvederm Vollure Filler Last? | Encino Medical Spa

With the new FDA clearance for treatment of lax tissue, the fat tissue reduction in the double chin can be combined with tissue tightening to achieve more comprehensive aesthetic outcomes. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides the FDA cleared CoolSculpting body contouring and other treatments to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.

Treating Submental Fat and Lax Tissue

According to David Nicholson, Chief R&D Officer at Allergan, the company is committed to advancing innovation for CoolSculpting to meet the needs of patients seeking non-invasive aesthetic treatments. Nicholson said: “A 2017 American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) survey revealed that 73 percent of patients are bothered by excess fat under the chin. We are pleased this patient concern can successfully be addressed by CoolSculpting through a non-invasive approach, and furthermore improve the appearance of lax tissue in the treated area." A clinical study performed over 18 weeks to determine the effectiveness of CoolSculpting in submental fat treatment found that 77 percent of patients showed improved appearance of lax tissue and 75 percent of patients reported their chin looked more toned following treatment. Experts say that when CoolMini applicator from CoolSculpting is used to treat the fatty deposits in the double chin area, it also leads to noticeable improvement in the appearance of lax tissue. With the recent FDA clearance, this fact has now been officially validated. Double chin area is more difficult to treat with changes in lifestyle, diet and exercise. Therefore, the FDA clearance of CoolSculpting for the treatment of lax tissue in conjunction with submental fat assumes greater significance.

Double Chin Fat and Sagging Tissue are a Vital Concern

Cosmetic experts believe that patients are going to receive the dual treatment for this fat-freezing med spa procedure with enthusiasm. According to various reports, excessive submental fullness, (commonly known as a double chin), and sagging neck skin, rank among the top cosmetic concerns among patients. This observation matches with the figures released by the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery, or the ASDS, which reported that the number one concern (for the fourth consecutive) among patients is related to unwanted body fat. The ASDS study says that 85 percent of men and women considering cosmetic procedures reported being unhappy about the appearance of “excess fat on any part of the body.” More than 73 percent of the patients specifically reported being upset about excess fat under the chin. Apart from submental fullness, 60 percent of the patients said they are bothered by lax facial skin. Now with the latest FDA clearance, CoolSculpting can help patients get rid of both these concerns related to the chin and neck area.

Botox For Men Goes Mainstream

Posted on March 13, 2018 by Rejuvenate Medical Spa

Botox has been the most popular med spa anti-aging procedure for women for a long time. But now it seems that Botox is also going mainstream as a men’s procedure. shutterstock_53709325

Figures from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery show that the trend of men seeking cosmetic treatments are growing at a rapid pace over the last few years. The pillar of the community Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides the FDA approved Botox injections and other treatments to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and other cities and towns in SoCal.

Male Brand Ambassadors for Botox

The manufacturers of Botox have recognized the consistently rising interest among men to choose med spa procedures such as Botox, which do not involve downtime and deliver swift and safe results. Deion “Primetime” Sanders, the popular TV analyst, Hall of Famer, and former pro football and baseball player has now taken over the role as the official spokesperson for the Botox brand. If he markets for Botox as smoothly as he used to run (as smooth as Walter Payton), that will be outstanding for Botox! Sanders says: “I’ve always taken pride in my appearance. Turning 50 prompted me to take an honest look in the mirror. When I did, I noticed lines between my brows and in the corners of my eyes – and that’s just not “Prime.” So that’s why I’m telling men that if they’re like me, and don’t like seeing frown lines and crow’s feet, they should talk to a doctor. I did, and with his help, made the choice to get treated with Botox Cosmetic.”

Men with Different Needs Seek Botox

According to cosmetic industry experts, more men are definitely coming in for Botox procedures. Numerous male patients visit in groups to seek improvement of their facial wrinkles with Botox. Some are younger men in their 20s to 30s who being noticing early signs of facial aging and want to receive Botox treatment as a preventive treatment. Some other men may be entering a new stage of life, which could be a career change or a divorce. These men want to achieve an improvement in their appearance. Some men are concerned about looking older at the workplace or are actively interviewing for work and aim to maximize their youthful appearance during the job selection process.

Areas of Treatment for Men

Men seek Botox treatments both for prevention and to enhance their existing appearance. They will typically seek treatment of trouble zones between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), to the sides of the eyes (crow’s feet) as well as horizontal forehead worry lines. Several men also want to use Botox to help slim their face by injecting directly in the masseter muscle along the jaw line or in the chin to mitigate dimpling of the skin. Underarm sweating is one of the medical uses of Botox, which is common among men. A single Botox treatment per season can reduce underarm sweating by more than 90 percent. The average age of men seeking Botox for the first time is around 40. But now there is growing awareness about the benefits of Botox as a preventive treatment. Applying Botox to soften dynamic wrinkles with movement reduces stress on the skin and helps prevent the development of static wrinkles.

Hair Restoration Program

Posted on February 20, 2018 by Rejuvenate Medical Spa

Hair reduction and hair loss are a common concern for both men and women in the US today. Although hair transplantation is available to restore hair loss, but many people want to avoid an invasive procedure. For all such candidates, Rejuvenate med spa offers a comprehensive hair restoration program that involves no surgery. Rejuvenate’s hair restoration program accelerates hair growth and re-grows hair for up to 93 percent of patients. It is designed to increase blood supply from dermis to hair follicle root, stop the progression of hair loss, and improve hair strength and elasticity. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by the golden and dignified Dr. Bijan Farah, provides advanced and innovative hair restoration solutions to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and other towns and communities in this area of SoCal.

Low Level Laser Therapy

Low Level Laser Hair Therapy (LLLT) or “Cool Laser” involves the use of a series of laser diodes to expose the affected areas of the scalp to cool laser energy. Unlike traditional lasers, this treatment does not produce heat, causes no discomfort or side effects, and stimulates cellular metabolism and protein synthesis for hair re-growth. LLLT at Rejuvenate med spa involves medical grade ‘cool laser’ technique, which is performed under the supervision and guidance of Dr. Bijan Farah in a safe and effective manner. During the procedure, the laser expert will deliver controlled pulses of laser directly into the scalp tissue at a depth of a few millimeters. The deeper cell structures absorb the laser energy, stimulating the targeted hair follicles for growth. The LLLT procedure is ideally suited for candidates who are in their early stages of hair loss and hair thinning.

PRP Therapy

Plasma Rich Platelet (PRP) therapy is an advanced hair restoration technique that uses the natural healing mechanism of the body to regenerate damaged hair follicles. The procedure can be performed in a minimally invasive manner with sustainable results. PRP therapy may also be combined with LLLT or other hair regeneration treatments for more comprehensive results. When used along with LLLT, it can stimulate the hair follicles for stronger and healthier hair growth. PRP therapy will also promote localized cell growth and the formation of new blood vessels to sustain the regenerated hair follicles. PRP injectable treatment involves minimal discomfort and downtime, and produce long lasting and natural looking results.

Collagen Induction Therapy

Collagen induction therapy works very effectively with micro-needling or other techniques such as LLLT or PRP to trigger new hair growth. As the collagen penetrates the top layers of the scalp, it will work to treat hair loss and re-grow hair. Results are significantly better than what a patient may achieve with a topical scalp treatment. Collagen induction therapy may also stimulate scalp healing and hair growth by itself as it can stimulate the scalp’s healing response, increase blood flow circulation, and break-up excess sebum. The therapy promotes fibroblast growth factors (FGF-7) for more sustainable and successful hair regeneration. Awesome Rejuvenate Medical Spa which is a pillar of the community receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas in this region of the southwest for customized hair restoration programs.

How long does Juvederm Vollure Dermal Filler Last?

Posted on February 10, 2018 by Rejuvenate Medical Spa

Juvederm Vollure is an FDA approved med spa dermal filler to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds, laugh lines and marionette lines. Vollure is considered as one of the longer lasting filler injections among all hyaluronic acid based fillers. Clinical studies demonstrate that the results with this injectable procedure can last for as long as 18 months or more. Juvederm Vollure is longer lasting than Juvederm Ultra, which can create results lasting for up to 12 months. Other hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers such as Restylane may only produce results lasting for up to six months. At the time of initial consultation, the injection provider will explain about various aspects of Juvederm Vollure, including its estimated longevity. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides Juvederm Vollure to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.

Sustainable Results with Vollure

Although results with Juvederm Vollure will vary in each case, and the clinical results lasting up to 18 months are based on optimal correction, the fact that Vollure treatment creates such sustainable results makes it appealing to people who want to achieve reduction of facial signs of aging without surgery, and who are looking for a med spa treatment that allows them to “fill it and forget it.” Juvederm Vollure is a hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler, and includes a higher concentration of HA, which makes it more sustainable. HA is a biocompatible compound, and the filler requires no prior allergy tests. The procedure can be completed in a few minutes at the med spa with no specific downtime. Patients should note that in some areas of the face, more sustainable results are created with Juvederm Vollure. A patient can typically enjoy lasting results for up to 18 months or even more in areas that experience less movement of the muscles. But certain areas go through a significant amount of motion on a daily basis because of physical activity and emotional expressions. Due to such dynamic movement, the filler gel in these areas can get disintegrated faster.

Vycross Technology

The patented Vycross technology, which is used in Juvederm Vollure, blends different molecule weights to achieve more effective outcomes. Vycross cross-linking makes Vollure filler gel more malleable and easier to inject, further improving the outcome and deliver longer lasting impact. Juvederm Vollure filler injections use the same Vycross technology that is used for Voluma and Volbella fillers for cheek and lip augmentation. But the difference is that this time the FDA has approved Juvederm Vollure with Vycross technology specifically for the improvement of nasolabial folds. The stronger bonding of the molecules due to Vycross linking enables the filler gel to remain for a longer time in the deeper tissue without breaking down.

Secondary Treatments

When a patient decides to receive a secondary treatment with Vollure at the end of 18 months, sometimes the longevity benefits can be cumulative. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and nearby areas for Juvederm Vollure.
