Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Will Botox work for chin wrinkles?
Botox for Chin Wrinkles
Apr 12, 2021
Yes, Botox will help relax the muscle to stop you from making the movement. In addition to Botox, I would recommend adding filler to improve the hollowing and having a couple of microneedling treatments to help with skin texture and tightening.
I would like a second opinion: Platysmal Bands/How much Botox should be used?
Platysmal Bands
Apr 12, 2021
The number of Botox units really depends on the patient, I can inject anywhere from 10-70 units in the platysmal band area. If you’re not having results, you may also want to consider adding a skin tightening treatment, such as Ultherapy or Profound, as it may not solely be a muscular issue. At my practice, we have great results doing a combination of the two, if needed.
Is it safe to do all 4 CoolSculpting sessions in one day?
Coolsculpting
Mar 25, 2021
Yes, it is completely safe to do all four Coolsculpting treatments (or more) in one day. The majority of our patients opt to treat several different areas and have multiple treatments in the same day at our office. Please note that one treatment will only tackle one area on the body but you can absolutely treat several different areas in one session/appointment. We do recommend waiting at least 8 weeks in between Coolscuplting sessions on the same treatment area.
What kind of treatment do you recommend me for this kind of skin?
VBeam Laser
Mar 15, 2021
We recommend the Vbeam Perfecta laser to treat facial veins, rosacea, and redness in the skin. The Vbeam uses Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) technology to deliver an intense, yet gentle, burst of light into the targeted areas of the skin. Patients will see a visible difference with just one treatment but multiple treatments may be needed depending on the patient and their skin condition.
I'm looking for alternative treatment to tear trough hollows
Under Eye Treatments
Mar 15, 2021
At our practice, we have several different treatment options for under eye hollowness, ranging from dermal fillers, laser treatments and more.
I would first recommend a series of Pelleve radiofrequency treatments to build collagen and reduce fines lines in the delicate under eye area. PRP injections would also be a good option. PRP is a form of cosmetic injectable treatment that uses the client’s own platelet rich plasma. The plasma contains cytokines and growth factors. When injected b...
CoolSculpting Application: Can the applicator be placed on the area before turning on the machine?
Coolsculpting application
Aug 3, 2017
Excellent observation. Yes, the coolsculpting machine is turned on before applied to the skin. There are several procedures step-by-step that are followed in the application process. The Coolsculpting machine is turned on, A pre-treatment wipe is applied to the surface of the skin in the treatment area, a gel pad is applied to the treatment area, the vacuum is started, then the applicator is applied to your skin in the marked area. After the applicator...
Can Botox fix what appears to be a droopy eyelid? Price for treatment?
Droopy eyelids
Aug 3, 2017
Yes! Botox can help with droopy eyelids. It should only take about 15 to 20 minutes to improve the droopy lids. Botox pricing can range anywhere from $10-$17 Per unit. Be wary of heavily discounted Botox pricing. You may be seeing an inexperienced practitioner.
Will Coolsculpting on my lower abdomen affect my IUD (Mirena)?
No deep effects of CoolSculpting
Jul 13, 2017
Hi wik9248. No, absolutely not. The CoolSculpting device only treats the superficial fat layer. In other words, it will not affect the muscle or underneath the muscle in the abdomen which is where your uterus is located and your IUD is placed.
How long should I wait postpartum (C-section) to have CoolSculpting done on my lower abdomen?
CoolSculpting Post C-Section
Jul 13, 2017
Hi Nicole. We generally suggest that a patient waits at least 6 months after a surgery on the abdomen to do CoolSculpting. However, you may want to wait even longer if you are seeing a provider that is using an older hand piece, as those can take up to an hour for a treatment. The older hand pieces have a lot more tug and pull on the tissues. The newer hand pieces – the Cool Advantage series - do not pull on the tissue like the old ones did. They have less discomfort as well. In t...
Is it better to have one area at a time treated with CoolSculpting rather than several areas at once?
The more areas you treat in one visit, the happier you will be.
Jul 13, 2017
The more areas you treat in one visit, the happier you will be. Just be certain that you are prepared to treat as much the second time around. Each area should be treated at least twice to achieve optimal results. So, if your budget only allows for one area and two visits, than that is the better option. However, if you can afford to treat multiple areas in one visit and can retreat in a few months, then you will see great results.
What treatment plan will work best for me? I'm financially limited. Coolsculpting or lipo? I want to t
Coolsculpting vs Lipo
Jun 14, 2017
It is a difficult question to answer, because both procedures (if done correctly) will end up costing similar amounts. Liposuction will be faster, but cost more upfront. CoolSculpting would be effective but take multiple sessions. Therefore, it will still cost as much as liposuction, but the cost can be spread out over months of treatment sessions. Most people prefer to budget their treatments out with CoolSculpting, which helps them save up and plan for the treatment...
It's been 2 months now since I had CoolSculpting done on 3 areas in my stomach. How long does it take
Treatment to Transformation
Jun 7, 2017
Typically, people will start to see improvements around the two-month mark. Sometimes people will see results sooner, however, we all get used to looking at our bodies everyday! We will always see and notice what's left, not what's gone. It is very important to take before and after photos, and be treated in the same area a second round. The typical patient will have some improvements the first round, but will not be thrilled until they've done at least two...
CoolSculpting VS Liposuction, which would be better for getting rid of a stomach bump?
CoolSculpting vs Liposuction
May 31, 2017
What I typically tell patients is that CoolSculpting is the best non-invasive treatment for fat removal, not necessarily the cheaper treatment. You can achieve great results, amazing even, with enough CoolSculpting treatments. I always try to set expectations by telling patients that It is not going to be a miracle in one or two treatments, you need to commit to multiple treatments in order to get the results you want. For those that are considering...
