I have prominent, almost bulging eyes. Will filler (cheek filler?) help or make it worse/distinct or d
Cheek filler and eye rejuvenation
Oct 21, 2019
Your question is a good one.  We have often seen saggy skin under the eyes co-exist with loss of volume in the cheek area.  Both of these conditions can be improved with the proper use of cheek fillers so that the skin is "pulled" down at the same time as the cheek is augmented.  For any residual bulging, there are a variety of laser skin-tightening options that work extremely well and that we use all the time.This will obviously depend on your individual circumstance and a personal exam is...
Laser Hair Removal Side Effects and Risks?
LHR risks
Jul 10, 2019
Generally, laser hair removal is such a common part of our practice, that we haven't really seen complications.  However, if a laser is used that is inappropriate for your skin type, or settings that are too aggressive, it is possible to see hyperpigmentation, blisters or scarring.Any clinic that is reputable should be able to avoid complications for a procedure that is so frequently done.  Make sure that they have been in business for a long time and that the physician is present on site.H...
How long do VelaShape results last?
Velashape duration
Jul 10, 2019
Following a series of Velashape treatments we have had clients who have maintained their results for years.  However, this will obviously vary from person to person and depend on how well a client will follow through on the instructions we provide to best maintain their results.As a general rule, a touchup every 6 to 12 months is reasonable to expect.  We haven't had anyone needing touchup sooner than that.  Cellulite is a chronic condition so some maintenance is needed, although much of th...
Which one is better for cellulite, Velashape vs. Endermologie?
Velashape for cellulite
Jul 9, 2019
We have used the Velashape for cellulite for several years and have been so impressed by the results that we've continually upgraded our systems all the way to the Velashape III that we currently use.I have yet to see a client who did not get superior results with a series of treatments.  Some of this will be due to the technology itself but a lot of the results have to do with the practitioner who uses it, and we have gained a lot of experience with it.  Ultimately, you will want to do y...
Is a home laser hair removal safe to use for genital area?
Home laser hair removal
Jul 9, 2019
Hi.  Thank you for your question.In our experience, we have treated many patients who have spent good money on home "laser" hair removal machines.  Now keep in mind that the FDA strictly controls what machines may or may not be sold directly to the consumer, and what quality of laser technology these devices employ.As predicted, none of these machines performed very well, and the clients ended up coming to our clinic for professionally-done hair removal once they were disappointed in the re...
How long would it take to have an allergic reaction from Botox injections in forehead?
Botox allergy
Jun 11, 2019
After injecting thousands of patients I can say that I've never seen a true Botox allergy.  Typically allergic reactions occur from preservatives or other agents that might be in the vial.That being said, any allergic reaction would typically be seen within minutes to hours of injection.  There are slower forms of allergy that can take a few days, but these are very rare.It's especially important to rule out allergies or other skin reactions from other causes.  These would be *much* more li...
After Botox when I raise my eyebrows, I have large indentations where the Botox was injected. Will thi
Botox effect
Jun 11, 2019
It sounds as though there are muscle areas where the Botox wasn't injected.  Otherwise you would not be able to move those muscles and cause puckering of the skin above them.I would meet with the injector and have her correct it.  Sometimes a touch-up is all that's needed in those circumstances.
Is it safe to get a filler injected into sunken mole scar after rhinoplasty?
Filler after rhinoplasty
Jun 11, 2019
Superficial scars are typically filled directly in the skin layer, which is well above where surgeons would operate for a rhinoplasty.  You should have no problem having a surface scar  filled with a hyaluronic acid filler in the proper hands.
Does Velashape Work?
Velashape for cellulite
Jun 3, 2019
We have been using Velashape for treating cellulite for almost 10 years now and have had so much success with it that we have upgraded to the Vela III.As with everything, success depends on several factors:  was the client appropriately selected?  Was the appropriate number of treatments performed?  Were the treatments performed by an experienced practitioner?  Did the client follow proper diet, exercise and aftercare?  Did the client maintain their improvements after the treatments were...
Should PRP for hair treatment use calcium gluconate to activate platelets for best results?
Activating platelets
Jun 3, 2019
Platelets generally are not optimally activated based on the needle that is used but more so by the interaction with tissue.  There are PRP kits that use Calcium for activation (which we also use) and the results can be very impressive.Most important is to consult with a physician who has a good track record of PRP hair restoration and who uses a proven technique.  Some PRP kits out there are not very good.  As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
I am thinking about PRP hair treatment as I have a thin hair and it's falling. I am 46 and have under
Thyroid and hair loss
Jun 3, 2019
Not only is it important that you have a FULL thyroid evaluation, rather than just the TSH test, but it's important to rule out other conditions that may co-exist.  This is something your primary doctor, or endocrinologist should do and would be the best place to start.Once these are ruled out or managed, it's reasonable to consider PRP hair restoration as this can often replace hair surgery for appropriate clients.  We have had very good results for many men with mild to moderate hair l...
Will heavy smoking affect the PRP for hair loss treatment?
Smoking and hair loss
Jun 3, 2019
Smoking is so harmful that I know of plastic surgeons who will actually refuse to do surgery on smokers due to the poor healing that can be associated.Ultimately, it is to your benefit to quit smoking since there are numerous other associated health issues besides just for your hair.  I applaud your effort.  Although PRP will reduce or reverse hair loss, you will greatly augment your results by quitting smoking as well.Good luck!

Fine lines
Jun 3, 2019
It appears that your crow's feet are more pronounced when you smile.  This is a classic example of where botox can do the most benefit.  We have examples just like yours on our website.Any residual skin looseness can be treated with any of a number of laser or RF-based devices to tighten, firm and tone the skin so that the results are much longer lasting.  Your skin type is also lighter, which means you have many more options available to you.  Make sure you consult with an experienced pra...
What do I do if fillers made my malar bags looks even worse? What causes this?
malar bags
Jun 3, 2019
We have seen clients come in with malar bags that have been treated elsewhere improperly with filler.  The idea behind this was that the filler would "stretch" the skin out, but unfortunately, malar bags are mostly due to skin that is already loose and stretched.The proper approach would have been to perform some form of skin tightening to reduce the bags.  The best results usually occur when the filler is dissolved and the bags are properly treated with laser or RF-based devices to t...
Would I be a good candidate for under eye fillers?
Under Eye Fillers
May 12, 2019
You would actually be an excellent candidate for under-eye fillers and we have treated many San Diego clients with under-eye hollows such as yours. Restylane, which is one of the best and longest-lasting fillers for this area is our preferred choice.  We also prefer to use blunt cannulas, rather than needles, so clients can avoid any of the bruising that is common with the older needle method.   Make sure you find an experienced provider who uses this method so that you can avoid bruising a...
