CoolSculpting vs. VelaShape for Body Contouring

CoolSculpting vs. VelaShape for Body Contouring | Beverly Hills | LAHeredity, sedentary, lifestyles and other factors can lead to accumulation of unwanted fat tissue in certain areas of the body. Over time these fats can become resistant to diet and exercise. While liposuction plastic surgery is an effective solution to this condition, many patients may seek a viable, non-surgical medspa procedure to get rid of stubborn fat deposits.
CoolSculpting and VelaShape are two key procedures to create non-invasive body contouring. The procedures are ideally suited for working people, busy moms and others who want to avoid a prolonged recovery or a complex, invasive procedure. Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides these treatments to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting has brought about a revolution in the area of non-surgical body contouring with its innovative cooling process that is aimed at reducing stubborn fat cells without any cuts, incisions or needles. As against laser or other heat based fat reduction techniques, CoolSculpting exposes the targeted area to a controlled cold temperature. The procedure will freeze the fat off, causing its gradual disintegration and removal from the body.
Dr. Motykie’s medspa provides CoolSculpting procedure with highly satisfactory outcomes in areas such as the hips, thighs, abdomen, flanks, back, upper arms, neck cheeks, calves, and knees. This FDA cleared procedure can be performed with high precision without causing any damage to the surrounding healthy skin and tissue.
 

Conservative, Holistic Results

Unlike aggressive body contouring techniques that involve fat cell manipulation, CoolSculpting adopts a gentle treatment approach that is conservative and holistic. Therefore, the results with this procedure are gradual, subtle and more natural looking.
Complete results will be established over several months as the targeted fat cells get eliminated. The procedure involves almost no discomfort or downtime. Multiple treatment sessions of one hour each may be scheduled to achieve optimal outcomes.
 

VelaShape

VelaShape is a unique non-surgical body contouring technique that is aimed at achieving both fat reduction and skin tightening in a single procedure. VelaShape combines advanced bi-polar radio frequency (RF) energy, infrared exposure, and mechanical and vacuum massage to produce a synergistic effect. Controlled heat is delivered to targeted fat tissue areas through RF energy, while a unique roller and vacuum system provides a mechanical massage.
Very focused, mild bursts of thermal energy lead to the shrinking and eventual removal of the stubborn fat chambers and fat cells. The procedure will also help to improve the appearance of skin through reduction of cellulite. As the fat cells are eliminated, the patient will experience circumferential reduction and restoration of desirable contours. Motykie Medical Spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for body contouring.
 

Enhanced Skin Tone

VelaShape has been cleared by the FDA because of its safe and predictable body contouring results. One of the key differences between the results of CoolSculpting and this procedure is that VelaShape will provide enhanced skin tone and cellulite reduction. On the other hand, CoolSculpting is primarily a fat reduction procedure.

Fight Signs of Aging with Restylane

Fight Signs of Aging with Restylane | Beverly Hills | Los AngelesAs a person ages, their skin undergoes significant cosmetic changes. It becomes thinner, loses its natural elasticity, and no longer appears as smooth and youthful as it once did. However, with innovative medspa dermal filler injectables such as Restylane, it is possible to temporarily reverse these changes.
One of the leading providers of Restylane family of products in the US is Motykie Medical Spa, which is led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie. The medical spa provides cutting edge aesthetic solutions to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Biocompatible Filler

Restylane is an FDA approved dermal filler injection with a key ingredient called hyaluronic acid. This is a naturally occurring substance in the body that performs the role of supporting the skin and providing elasticity and fullness.
Hylauronic acid is completely biocompatible, which means that the patient will not require any prior allergy tests. The concentration of this ingredient in Restylane medspa filler is just right to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and fine lines in various areas of the face, including the delicate skin around the eyes.
 

Areas of Correction

Restylane filler gels will add volume and fullness to the targeted areas of the face to correct facial folds and creases. These include lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth, which are known as nasolabial folds. Restylane has been approved for lip enhancement in patients above the age of 21. Tear trough area below the eyes, which gives the appearance of hollows below the eyes or dark circles can be successfully treated with Restylane.
When Restylane is administered by an experienced treatment provider, the results will be natural looking and facial contours can be improved the way the patient desires. Motykie Medical Spa is a leading provider of Restylane for patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas.
 

Sustainability

Restylane is a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler that can treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles with results lasting for up to 18 months from the date of initial treatment. The quantity of injectable gel should be limited to 6.0 ml per treatment. In a clinical study, treatment of laugh lines with Restylane showed that 95 percent of the patients experienced sustainable results for up to 18 months.
This included one follow-up treatment received at the end of 4.5 or nine months. Following the treatment, the patient may report mild redness, swelling, pain, bruising, and tenderness. These are temporary effects will usually go away in less than a week.
 

Restylane Regimen

Restylane Regimen refers to a scheduled treatment plan involving initial treatment of laugh lines, followed by another touch-up treatment after about 4.5 or nine months. In most patients, the follow-up treatment will involve only about half the amount of Restylane injectable gel that was used initially.
With the precise amount of Restylane treatment in the appropriate areas of the face, a full correction can be achieved. The regimen is applicable for the reduction of nasolabial folds or laugh lines, for which Restylane has earned the FDA’s approval for patients over 21.

Restylane Dermal Filler for Men

Restylane Dermal Filler for Men | Beverly Hills | Los Angeles | WeHoRestylane is one of the popular medspa dermal filler procedures for men who want to restore a more youthful facial appearance. Restylane injectable cosmetic filler treatment is approved by the FDA and is widely used for wrinkle reduction, deep skin hydration and facial contouring for men.
The Restylane gel will add volume to the sagging areas of the face to smooth away conspicuous aging lines and rejuvenate the face. Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides Restylane filler to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Sustainable and Natural Looking Results

Results with Restylane injectable filler for men are not permanent, but will sustain for a long time. The treatment works by adding to the skin’s own reserve of hyaluronic acid. This enhances facial volume, leading to softening of the signs of aging and better defined facial features. The patient will have more control over their looks because the changes made with Restylane are not permanent.
Many men prefer to achieve a subtle improvement, and not a very dramatic alteration of their facial appearance. With Restylane medspa procedure, the results are more natural looking. The sagging skin is provided a subtle lift to make the face appear younger, without making the treatment obvious.
 

Restylane Family of Products

Men can benefit from the Restylane family of products, which includes Restylane, Perlane and Restylane Silk. These facial fillers are designed to add fullness and volume to the facial skin and improve moderate to severe facial wrinkles and creases. These include nasolabial folds, which are the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
People above the age of 21 can also benefit from Restylane, Perlane and Restylane Silk for lip enhancement. These are the first and only products approved by the FDA for lip enhancement. Results with Perlane can last up to six months, while clinical studies reveal that Restylane results can sustain for up to 18 months in laugh lines when one follow-up treatment is received in-between.
 

Treatment Volume

When treating facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds in men, the treatment volume should not exceed 6.0 ml. In case of lip enhancement with Restylane or Restylane Silk, the treatment volume should be restricted to 1.5 ml per lip. Lip lines can be treated with Restylane Silk with a treatment volume not exceeding 1.0 ml.
Higher volumes of these filler gels will increase the risk of moderate and severe injection site reactions. Motykie Medical Spa receives male patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for Restylane facial rejuvenation and other procedures.
 

Minimal Downtime

Many men want to avoid facial surgery and other invasive cosmetic procedures because they do not want to undergo a prolonged post-operative recovery. This is where Restylane dermal filler treatment can prove to be ideal for men because of its reduced risk of complications, little to no discomfort and minimal downtime. The patient may be able to return to their workplace or resume their normal activities the same day or the next day after the treatment.

Restylane Dermal Filler for Under Eye Circles and Hollows

Restylane Dermal Filler |Under Eye Circles and Hollows | Beverly HillsDark circles and under eye hollows can appear with age and make the face look dull and old. Restylane dermal filler is an advanced medspa procedure to correct this condition. It will volumize the deep tear trough and restore youthfulness to the skin around the eyes.
Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides the FDA approved Restylane dermal filler injections and various other non-surgical anti-aging facial procedures. The medical spa provides Restylane to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Procedure

It is important to choose a qualified medspa with trained and experienced staff that can provide Restylane injectable treatment to remove dark circles and under eye hollows. The Restyalne expert will first apply a numbing cream in the local area to ensure that the patient remains comfortable through the procedure. Restylane gel will be injected using thin needles to carefully fill the hollow areas beneath the eyes.
An expert will make a deep placement of Restylane filler gel along the orbital rim, which is a safe area to deposit the filler. The procedure will take about 20 to 30 minutes to complete, depending on the extent of treatment needed. Most patients will require only about 1 ml of Restylane filler to treat dark circles, but the precise quantity will be determined in accordance with the patient’s facial anatomy.
A customized injection approach will be planned in advance to match with the unique anatomical and aesthetic needs of the patient. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for Restyalne and other dermal filler treatments.
 

Unique Properties of Restylane

Restylane facial filler has a unique property that it can be molded to the required shape. Therefore, Dr. Motykie prefers this filler to treat dark circles and under eye hollows. If any lumps or bumps appear after the treatment, the provider can smooth them more easily because the viscosity of Restylane is just appropriate to work on the sensitive under eye skin.
If the patient needs upper cheek volumizing in addition to lower eyelid area rejuvenation, Perlane filler may be used to complement Restylane. More harmonious outcomes may be created in some patients with this combination. Restylane is considered to be an ideal filler for the tear trough area for various reasons.
Restylane filler gel has a superior degree of consistency that enables the treatment provider to create more natural looking and uniform rejuvenation in the tear trough. Secondly, the key ingredient of Restylane is hyaluronic acid, which is completely biocompatible and poses no risk of allergies. Results in the under eye area with Restylane can last for as long as a year.
 

Different from Other Fillers

Several FDA approved cosmetic filler injections are available today, but most of them are not appropriate for treatment in the delicate tear trough region. They tend to create a hydrophilic plumping effect under the eyes, revealing conspicuous puffiness that can persist for months. This is where Restylane scores over the other fillers and produces highly satisfactory and desirable outcomes in the under eye area.

Tips to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

Tips to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal | Beverly Hills | Los AngelesLaser hair removal is widely recognizes as the most effective med spa procedure to eliminate unwanted or unsightly hair in any area of the body. Patients should follow a few important tips in order to achieve optimal results with this treatment. Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides laser hair removal to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Prior to the Procedure

  • Protect the affected area against sun exposure for a few weeks before and after laser hair removal. Irritated or inflamed skin is susceptible to injury and hypo-pigmentation.
  • Do not use any topical hair removal creams or lotions for two weeks before treatment.
  • Avoid plucking, waxing, threading, or bleaching the body hair for a month before the procedure.
  • Shave off the affected area, but do not use any makeup over it on the day of the treatment.
  • Share complete medical history with the med spa hair removal expert.
  • Inform the provider about any medications or health supplements that you may be taking. For certain prescription drugs, the provider may alter the schedule in consultation with your physician.

 

After the Procedure

  • Keep the treated area thoroughly clean and dry. Initial redness is natural after the laser procedure, and will fade away in about three days without any need for treatment.
  • For soothing effective use a topical cream or gel during the post-op phase. Apply a cold pack if the area continues to feel warm. Make no direct contact with ice or ice packs.
  • If your skin is sensitive to histamine reactions, you should avoid anti-histamine drugs, or take them only under the physician’s supervision.
  • Do not use cosmetic products that contain multiple chemicals because it may restrain the skin’s breathability.
  • Do not pick or scratch the treated parts.
  • Avoid using any waxing, plucking threading or hair removal creams between the laser sessions because it can disturb the hair follicles. You may shave, if required.
  • Do not expose the treated areas to the sun, and use a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 throughout the treatment. This will reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.
  • The treated hair will begin to shed in a few weeks after the treatment. This is expected, and you can just clean and remove the hair by wiping the area with a wet cloth.
  • Apply a medicated powder instead of a deodorant for about 24 hours in case of underarm hair removal.
  • Normal bathing can be resumed after the treatment, but very hot showers and steam or sauna must be avoided for about two weeks.
  • Do not swim in strongly chlorinated water for at least a week after the treatment.
  • Skin exfoliation procedures should be avoided for at least one to two weeks or performed under the guidance of a therapist.

9 Tips about Laser Tattoo Removal

9 Tips about Laser Tattoo Removal | Beverly Hills | Los AngelesAnyone can change their mind about a permanent tattoo in the near or distant future, and may like to have it erased. Laser tattoo removal is advanced med spa procedure available today. Motykie Medical Spa provides laser tattoo removal and other procedures to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations. A person seeking tattoo removal should have a clear understanding about the procedure.
 

Some Tattoos may be Removed only Partially

Laser tattoo removal is considered to be the most effective non-invasive procedure to get rid of permanent tattoos. However, the patient should have realistic expectations. Quality and ink color of the tattoo, its size and age, the patient’s skin type and other factors will determine whether the tattoo can be removed fully or partially.
 
 

Newer Tattoos are more difficult to remove

Laser tattoo removal procedure is usually more effective on older tattoos than the newer ones. Fading is less complicated and more successful in older tattoos, and will involve relatively fewer treatment sessions.
 
 

Tattoo Placement will make a Difference

People may choose to have a tattoo place on nearly any body part. Tattoos inked in the hands or feet will usually fade more quickly with laser treatment. If the tattoo is located further down the arm or leg or difficult to reach areas, fading may be slower.
 

Tattoo Maker’s Expertise

A tattoo created by an amateur provider will generally be easier to eliminate with lasers. Professionally created tattoos may be more intricate and deep, making them difficult to remove.
 
 

Tattoo Color will Affect Laser Treatment

Different types of laser wavelengths may have to be used for different tattoo colors. Dark green and black tattoos are typically easier to remove, while bright and fluorescent dyes are the most difficult to fade.
 
 

Skin Texture Changes

The original tattoo creation may have caused changes in skin texture or created scars. The tattoo would have camouflaged those imperfections. But after a professional med spa laser tattoo removal, those hidden changes may suddenly start showing.
 

Need for Sun Protection

After the laser treatment, the skin pigment around the tattoo location will either lighten or darken. Therefore, direct sun exposure should be avoided and a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 should be used to minimize changes to skin pigment.
 
 

Skin Color Change

Following laser procedure, certain cosmetic tattoos such as pink, white or flesh colored may become darker. Additional treatments may be required to improve this condition. The provider may first test the skin change with laser on a small, discreetly located area.
 
 

Risk of Allergic Reaction

While laser tattoo removal is a completely safe procedure, a few individuals with highly sensitive skin may experience an allergic reaction such as itching or swelling in the tattoo area. The patient should inform the laser tattoo removal provider about their history of allergy so that measures can be taken to avoid allergy.
Motykie Medical Spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for laser tattoo removal and various other procedures.
