    ThermiSmooth for Facial Wrinkles

    Tag Archives: Medical Spa Encino

    ThermiSmooth for Facial Wrinkles | Medical Spa | Encino | CalabasasThe face is aesthetically the most prominent part of the body. Signs of aging will first show on the face and can make a person appear older than their actual age. Innovative non-invasive med spa techniques are now available to treat facial aging, which involve minimum or no discomfort and downtime. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, is equipped to provide cutting edge anti-aging facial solutions such as ThermiSmooth, which do not involve any cuts, incisions or needles. The medical spa provides ThermiSmooth treatment to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and surrounding locations.

    What is ThermiSmooth?

    ThermiSmooth is a unique radio frequency (RF) based system designed to reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines. The system includes a specially designed thermistor regulated hand piece. The hand piece gently heats the top surface of the skin using dermal heating, while targeting problem areas around the cheeks, forehead, neck, mouth, and eyelids. ThermiSmooth med spa facial treatment differentiates itself from several other non-invasive treatment systems. ThermiSmooth with the Thermi RF system is the only one that can adjust its temperature to effectively resolve an individual patient’s specific areas of concern. The advanced temperature control also significantly enhances the patient’s comfort.

    How does it Work?

    ThermiSmooth improves the appearance of skin from inside out for sustainable benefits. When consistent heat is applied above 40 degrees Celsius to the targeted areas, the collagen beneath the skin will be stimulated for fresh production. This triggers a long-term process of skin tightening, which helps to reduce the effects of facial aging. The procedure is designed to tighten loose or sagging facial skin and it will also smooth the uneven facial contours by reducing fat pockets. Rejuvenate medical spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby areas for ThermiSmooth and various other non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures.

    Candidacy

    Women and men who are bothered by the appearance of mild to moderate wrinkles and lines on the face, but want to avoid invasive surgery, may make good candidates for ThermiSmooth RF treatment. Patients with sagging facial skin can also achieve a subtle lift to the face with ThermiSmooth. The procedure is ideally suited for working people and busy moms who usually seek a procedure that does not involve a longer recovery and entails minimal risk of complications. A qualified med spa ThermiSmooth treatment provider will determine the patient’s candidacy during the initial consultation.

    Treatment Process

    Most patients will require multiple ThermiSmooth treatments. The exact number of treatments will vary according to the area of treatment and the patient’s personal cosmetic goals. The treatment provider will examine the patient’s condition of facial and neck skin and review their medical history to create a customized ThermiSmooth treatment plan. Prior to the treatment, the provider will apply a gel to the skin’s surface in the treatment area. The temperature of the RF device will be set to a specific level and the hand piece will be gently moved across the treatment area. The system will adjust temperature automatically based on patient feedback.

    Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections | Hair Restoration | EncinoPlatelet rich plasma (PRP) injection is an advanced, minimally invasive hair restoration technique that has shown tremendous promise. The med spa technique involves the use of the body’s natural growth factors to regenerate damaged hair follicles to enable re-growth of hair in treated areas. PRP injections can sometimes be combined with low level laser therapy for more robust hair restoration. Rejuvenate Medical Spa is a premier provider of PRP injections. The medical spa provides cutting edge aesthetic and anti-aging solutions to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and surrounding locations.  

    How does PRP Work?

    For a long time, researchers believed that follicles that had stopped producing hair were completely dead. However, recent studies have shown that in many cases these unproductive follicles are merely dormant, injured or compromised, and may still be revived for long-term hair re-growth. This is where the role of PRP hair restoration med spa therapy comes in. The platelet rich plasma within the patient’s own body contains powerful growth factors. These growth factors can be injected into the affected areas to activate adult stem cells within the unproductive hair follicles. At the same time, they can promote localized cell regeneration and formation of new blood vessels to feed the revived hair follicles. At Rejuvenate medical spa, Dr. Farah and his team will customize every PRP procedure to meet the unique hair restoration needs of a patient. The medical spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby areas.  

    PRP Procedure

    The treatment provider will draw a small amount of blood from the patient’s body, which will be sent through a centrifugal process to separate PRP and activate the growth factors within it. Once the PRP is ready for being injected, a local anesthetic will be applied to the recipient area of the scalp. The provider will inject PRP into the areas with most severe hair loss. The injections will be administered using a very fine gauge needle in a matrix pattern across the scalp. Depending on the patient’s needs, the PRP procedure may be combined with low level laser therapy to achieve more effective outcomes.  

    Recovery

    PRP therapy for hair restoration is a quick and painless in-office procedure with almost no downtime. Any discomfort that follows the treatment, once the effect of the anesthetic is over, can be mitigated with over the counter pain meds. Mild swelling in the forehead area may occur in some patients for a day or two. This will disappear on its own. Aggressive physical activity should be avoided until the swelling has been fully resolved. The patient can resume normal washing of the hair immediately after the treatment. Most patients will be able to return to their workplace or perform their other regular activities immediately after the procedure.  

    Candidacy

    PRP injection therapy may be appropriate for any man or woman who is bothered by the thinning hair or loss or hair, but wants to avoid surgical hair transplant procedures. Hair loss arising due to a variety of medical conditions can be addressed successfully with PRP therapy.

    How does Laser Hair Restoration Work? | Los Angeles | Sherman Oaks Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has emerged as a popular hair restoration procedure today. LLLT is a completely non-invasive med spa procedure involving no cuts, incisions, injections, or medications. Both men and women who are suffering from hair loss can benefit from this painless treatment. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, is a premier provider of LLLT and various other procedures. The medical spa provides LLLT for hair restoration to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and surrounding locations.  

    How does it Work?

    LLLT is based on a treatment with “cold” or “soft” lasers to stimulate hair re-growth in the targeted areas of the scalp. These low level lasers do not emit heat, sound or vibration. As a result, it does not cause any tissue injury because of absence of heat. Many patients prefer this gentle med spa solution over surgical lasers or other aggressive hair restoration treatments. Rejuvenate Medical Spa is equipped with the state of the art Sunetics Clinical Bio-Stimulation Laser. This is an in-office procedure, which provides total comfort and convenience to the patients. The patient can simply sit and relax beneath the device while the treatment is performed. The procedure is painless and involves no downtime. Some of the latest medical studies have revealed that low level laser therapy with the Sunetics Laser system produces more pronounced outcomes over shorter periods of time than other low energy laser techniques. Dr. Farah’s medical spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby areas for LLLT.  

    Safe and Proven

    The Sunetics laser technology for the treatment of both male and female pattern hair loss received clearance from the FDA in 2013. In the FDA clinical trials, 93 percent of the patients treated with LLLT experienced hair re-growth at an average of 22 hairs per square centimeter. The efficacy of this therapy has been proven in stabilizing hair loss over the entire scalp and re-growing hair in the both the frontal and temporal areas of the scalp. Clinically proven outcomes with LLLT include:
    • Re-growth of hair and acceleration of hair growth in 93 percent of the patients
    • Increase in blood flow from dermis to hair follicle root
    • Stimulation of up to 70 percent of resting or dormant hairs back into active growth cycle
    • Halting the progression of hair loss
    • Improved hair elasticity and strength
    • Augmenting hair follicles to provide fuller, thicker, softer, and shinier hair
    • Repairing and improving hair shaft quality
    Patients should note that as with most other non-invasive hair loss treatments, LLLT requires periodic follow-up procedures to maintain the results. Maintenance sessions could involve weekly treatments initially, but the frequency would reduce over time.  

    Candidacy

    LLLT is an effective solution for both men and women suffering from thinning hair and mild to moderate degrees of hair loss. Women typically make standout candidates for this procedure. Men may use this therapy independently or in conjunction with other treatments.

    FAQ about Laser Hair Re-growth | Calabasas | Encino | Medical SpaAdvanced laser treatments from a qualified med spa are an effective way to achieve hair re-growth for people suffering from hair loss. Rejuvenate Medical Spa is a leading provider of laser hair treatments to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and surrounding locations. 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.  

    What is the Difference between Cosmetic and Medical Lasers?

    A number of cosmetic ‘cool’ lasers are available today, but these are not approved for hair re-growth and do not require medical supervision. Medical lasers, on the other hand, involve a medical procedure performed under medical supervision at a qualified med spa and by prescription only.  

    How does the Laser Hair Re-growth Treatment Work?

    In case of LLLT, the controlled pulses of laser are carefully delivered into the scalp tissue at a depth of a few millimeters. The deeper cell structures absorb the laser energy, positively impacting the targeted hair follicles.  

    Am I a Profound Candidate for LLLT?

    Men and women in the early stages of hair loss as well as women who experience hair thinning can benefit from LLLT hair re-growth. If the hair loss in men is more than five or six years, it may not be ideally treated with LLLT.  

    When will the Results become Visible?

    Hair loss will start reducing typically within the first two to three weeks after about five or six treatment sessions. Hair re-growth will start occurring in about five to six weeks after 10 to 12 treatments. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby areas for laser hair re-growth.  

    What are the Clinical Trial Results presented before the FDA?

    An approved clinical trial was conducted with results reviewed in three phases. After the first phase of 20 treatments, 92 percent of the patients showed a hair count increase of at least 10 percent, with 60 percent reporting an increase of at least 30 percent.  

    What is the Duration of the Treatment Process?

    A single treatment session with LLLT will take about 20 minutes. While partial treatment programs are available, the maximum benefits of laser hair re-growth can be achieved with a treatment program of about one year. It will include about 70 treatment sessions.  

    How much will the Treatment Cost? 

    The monetary amount will vary according to the individual diagnosis and treatment. Affordability and flexibility of payments is possible with full and partial programs and various health care financing options.  

    Will it be Painful?

    LLLT for hair re-growth causes little to no sensation during the procedure. This cool laser therapy is completely comfortable for most patients.  

    What are the Risks Involved?

    LLLT is completely safe and meets all international safety standards and specifications of a “non-significant risk” product.

    9 Tips about Laser Tattoo Removal | Calabasas | Encino | Sherman OaksMany people tend to change their mind about a permanent tattoo at some point of time in the future, and may choose to have it removed. A qualified med spa may offer advanced laser tattoo removal procedure. Rejuvenate Medical Spa provides laser tattoo removal to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and surrounding locations. The following tips will help a patient acquire a better understanding about tattoo removal:

    Not Every Tattoo may be Removed Fully

    While laser tattoo removal is the most effective non-surgical procedure to remove permanent tattoos, the patient should have realistic expectations. Depending on the quality and shade of the ink used, skin type, the size and age of the tattoo, and other factors, some tattoos may fade only partially.  

    Older Tattoos are Easier to Remove

    Contrary to popular belief, older tattoos are easier to remove. Laser treatments are generally more effective on older tattoos as compared to newer ones. Fading will be better in older tattoos, and fewer treatment sessions will be required in case of older tattoos.  

    Location of the Tattoo Matters

    Tattoos can be placed on almost any part of the body. In general, tattoos placed in the hands or feet will fade more easily with laser treatment. Fading is usually slower for the tattoos located further down the leg or arm, or difficult to reach areas.  

    Skill of the Tattoo Maker

    If the permanent tattoo was placed by an amateur provider, it will usually be easier to be eliminated with lasers. Professionally created tattoos may be harder to remove because of the intricacy and depth of the tattoo.  

    Different Tattoo Shades will Fade Differently

    Different tattoo colors will have to be removed using different lasers. Each dye will respond to varying light wavelengths. Black and dark green tattoos are the easiest to remove, while bright colors such as yellow, purpose or fluorescent dyes are the hardest to fade.  

    Impact on Skin Texture

    When the permanent tattoo was inked, it may have altered the skin texture or create some scars. While the tattoo is in place, those imperfections are hidden by the dyes. However, once laser tattoo removal is performed at a med spa, those hidden skin changes may become visible.  

    Sunscreen is recommended

    The skin pigment will either darken or lighten over and around the tattoo location following laser treatment. Therefore, it is advisable to apply sunscreen before and after the laser procedure to minimize alterations to the skin pigment.  

    Darkening of the Skin

    Specific cosmetic tattoos such as white, pink or flesh-colored ones may become dark immediately following laser treatment. It is generally possible to correct this effect with additional treatment. If immediate darkening of the skin is an issue, then laser should first be tested on a small, discreet spot.  

    Risk of Allergy

    A few individuals may have experienced an allergic reaction such as swelling or itching while receiving the tattoo. In such cases, the laser tattoo removal provider should be informed so that steps can be taken to avoid a similar reaction during removal. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby areas for laser tattoo removal.   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.

    Kybella Injections for Chin Fat Reduction Cost | Encino | CalabasasAge, heredity factors, and sedentary lifestyles can result in accumulation of stubborn fats in the submental area, creating the appearance of a double chin. While liposuction surgery is a solution to reduce submental fat, many patients seek a non-surgical med spa treatment to improve the chin appearance. Kybella is an FDA approved injectable treatment for double chin reduction. Rejuvenate Medical Spa is one of the leading facilities to offer Kybella injections for chin fat reduction. At the time of initial consultation, the Kybella expert at the medical spa will discuss all aspects of the procedure, including its estimated costs. The first priority of the provider is to ensure that the patient makes an informed choice. Rejuvenate provides Kybella to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and surrounding locations.   Comparing the Price with Liposuction Patients should compare the costs of Kybella submental fat reduction injections against liposuction surgery. In almost every case, it is likely that the cost of Kybella chin fat reduction treatment will be significantly lower as compared to liposuction surgery. Liposuction may be performed using anesthesia, which will add the fee of the anesthesiologist or a certified anesthetist nurse. Sometimes laser, ultrasound or RF technologies may be combined with liposuction, which make the procedure less invasive, but are usually more expensive. Liposuction will also involve the costs of a surgical facility, while Kybella can be performed in-office. Post-operative costs such as medical tests, prescription medications, surgical garments, and visits to the treatment provider’s office are typically added to liposuction procedure. But in case of Kybella med spa treatment, post-op costs are almost entirely avoided. Working people should also note that liposuction surgery will involve several days of downtime. This may have an impact on their income in some cases, which should be accounted for. Kybella injections, on the other hand, involve minimal downtime, and the patient can return to work quickly. Rejuvenate medical spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby areas for Kybella.   Financial Factors The average stipulated cost of Kybella injectable treatment can vary from one practice to another, and even from one patient to another in some cases. The treatment provider will evaluate the patient’s neck and facial anatomy, consider their body weight and appearance, and account for their personal aesthetic goals to prepare a customized Kybella injection plan. The number of injections received in a single treatment session will vary according to the specific needs of the patient. Multiple treatment sessions are usually involved, and most patients will require two to four sessions. In more severe cases, the provider may recommend up to six treatment sessions. The first treatment session generally involves a higher number of Kybella injection vials, and the quantity may progressively reduce with each session. The monetary amount of Kybella treatment will be most determined according to the total number of vials used, the extent of treatment and the number of treatment sessions involved. Patients who combine the treatment with other procedures may receive a package rebate from the provider in some cases.

    Now Offering Kybella Injections for Chin Fat Reduction | Encino | LAAccumulation of unwanted fat tissue beneath the chin can give the appearance of double chin or triple chin. Liposuction surgery is generally used to remove excess fats from the chin, but many patients do not want an invasive procedure for chin enhancement. Kybella is a revolutionary, new med spa procedure for such patients, which can reduce chin fat without surgery. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides cutting edge non-surgical aesthetic procedures. Rejuvenate now offers Kybella injections to treat stubborn fat deposits below the chin. The medical spa provides this treatment to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and other locations.  

    Approved by the FDA

    Kybella was approved last year by the FDA for the cosmetic reduction of moderate to severe fat tissue beneath the chin, which is the submental area. This makes Kybella the first and only injectable med spa procedure for submental fat reduction to be approved by the FDA. Kybella is designed only to treat excess fats in the submental region. Safety and efficacy of Kybella for double chin reduction has been extensively established through various clinical trials and tests. With consistently positive test outcomes, satisfactory feedback of patients, and finally the approval from the FDA, has encouraged Dr. Farah to offer Kybella as a non-surgical aesthetic alternative to his patients.  

    How does Kybella Work?

    The key ingredient in Kybella injections is deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally found substance in the human body. This ingredient performs the function of supporting absorption of fats in the body. When Kybella is injected into the submental fat tissue, it triggers the disintegration of the membrane of the targeted fat cells. As a result, the fat cells are selectively eliminated from the area. Caution must be exercised in administering Kybella injections because any wrong application may lead to the destruction of healthy skin cells. Experienced treatment providers at Rejuvenate medical spa receive patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby areas for Kybella injections.  

    Treatment Protocol

    Kybella medication is delivered in injection form directly into the targeted fat tissue under the chin. Multiple injections are usually administered in a single treatment session. The patient may receive a maximum of six treatments spaced at least one month apart. Kybella drug is currently sold in single patient use vials. It should not be diluted or mixed with any other compounds.  

    Selecting a Qualified Provider

    Kybella is an advanced injectable procedure, which should only be performed at a qualified medical spa under the supervision of an expert. Amy G. Egan, M.D., M.P.H., deputy director of the Office of Drug Evaluation III in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, recommends that Kybella treatment should only be offered by licensed medical professionals. Patients should also be aware of the approved usage of Kybella injections. According to Egan, treatment providers as well as patients should be aware that Kybella has only been approved for the reduction of submental fat, and its suitability for other areas is not yet known.   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.

    Hair Replacement Before and After Pictures | Medical Spa | EncinoBotox 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
    If any of these effects are noticed within hours or even weeks after received Botox treatment, the patient should immediately contact the physician.  

    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
    Women who are pregnant or breast feeding may be advised to avoid Botox because the potential effects on the baby are currently unknown. The Botox expert will also advise the patients to avoid rubbing the injection site for about 12 hours following the treatment to minimize the risk of medication spreading to nearby areas. Rejuvenate Medical Spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, CA, and nearby locations for Botox and other procedures.  

    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.
