Non-Surgical Chin Enhancement

Non-Surgical Chin Enhancement

Non-Surgical Chin Enhancement | Beverly Hills Medical SpaFacial appearance can become unbalanced if the chin becomes recessive or by birth does not protrude in proportion with other facial features. Many patients want to avoid chin implant surgery, and may choose a non-surgical medspa chin enhancement procedure. The challenge with implants is that they have a risk of implant displacement. Some patients simply want to avoid the typical risks and complications associated with a surgery.
In all such cases, the treatment provider may recommend non-surgical chin augmentation. This minimally invasive non-surgical procedure can be performed at a qualified medical spa without involving anesthesia, incisions or scars. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides non-surgical chin enhancement to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Injectable Procedure

The cosmetic advantages of chin augmentation not only include correction of a weak chin, but also the creation of a more attractive and natural looking facial expression. At the same time, the neck appears longer and jaw line looks more defined and sculpted. This medspa procedure can be performed using dermal filler injections by a skilled provider.
The provider may choose FDA approved fillers such as Belotero, Perlane, Juvederm or Radiesse to add volume to the chin. The filler gel is injected into the targeted area using a blunt need or a cannula. It will enhance the chin projection and improve facial balance in a simple and quick injectable procedure. The procedure will avoid all the typical challenges involved in a surgery. Dermal filler based chin augmentation may not even cause swelling and bruising.
 

Filler Injection Options

Juvederm Voluma
Juvederm Voluma is a filler gel with a thicker consistency that is specially designed to add volume to the depleted areas of the face. The filler is primarily used for cheek augmentation, but may also correct volume loss in the chin area with deep injections. The concentration of hyaluronic acid in this filler injection is higher, which helps to create more dramatic and longer lasting results.
 
Radiesse
Radiesse is recognized as one of the more powerful dermal filler injections for facial rejuvenation and volume enhancement. This filler is based on calcium microspheres suspended in a medical grade gel. It can provide subtle lift and add volume to the recessive chin area. Radiesse acts as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure to the treated area.
 
Belotero
Belotero Balance is a skin smoothing facial filler, which can reduce the appearance of moderate to severe lines, wrinkles and folds around the chin and other areas. The gel has soft and cohesive consistency, which helps to create maximum integration with the natural skin for effective rejuvenation.
Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for non-surgical chin enhancement and various other cosmetic procedures.
 

Results

Results with injectable fillers for chin augmentation will be visible immediately, and will continue to improve over the next few days as the mild swelling disappears. The longevity of results will depend on the type and quantity of filler used.

Face Slimming: Non-surgical Square Jaw Reduction with Botox

Face Slimming: Non-surgical Jaw Reduction with Botox | Beverly HillsIn recent years, Botox has emerged as a successful medspa procedure for non-surgical square jaw reduction. People who want to slim their face and achieve a V-shaped facial profile can benefit from Botox treatment. In many cases, it is the large masseter muscles that cause the face to look bigger, rounder or too square at the jaws.
Careful application of Botox injections at each side of the jaw can help to slim the jaw line. Following reduction of the square jaw, the treatment provider can contour the face and create an attractive V-shape. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides Botox, Dysport and other injectable treatments to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

How does it Work?

Non-surgical square jaw reduction can be performed in a minimally invasive way with Botox injections. The medspa treatment provider with expertise in this jaw reduction technique can deliver the desired outcomes with just a single Botox injection per side of jaw. Botox medication is injected into the masseter muscle on each side and spread out at multiple points.
A single injection can reach five points within the muscle to produce the targeted result with just a single injection on one side. The procedure can be completed in less than five minutes. The patient will experience minimal or no discomfort and no downtime are involved. The effect of jaw reduction and face slimming will be visible in about two to eight weeks.
 

Special One-Point Technique

Botox treatment to reduce the square jaw usually involves about three to six injection points on each side of the patients. For a lot of patients, it can be a scary thought to have three to six jabs on either side of the face. This is where the one skin injection point technique differentiates itself and offers a much safer and simple solution to achieve the same effect.
With just one Botox injection on each side of the face, the treatment provider can reach five different points within the masseter muscle using this technique. There is no difference between the results with the traditional three to six point injection technique and this innovative one-point technique because the medication is delivered to the same number of points in the muscle in both cases.
Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for Botox jaw reduction and various other procedures.
 

Combining with Dermal Fillers

Some patients may want to have an increased enhancement of the face and create a more desirable V shape. In such cases, the treatment expert may recommend one or two point dermal filler injections to the chin in conjunction with the Botox treatment.
While traditional chin enhancement procedure with dermal fillers will typically require four to five jabs or more, but with an innovative injection approach, this can be reduced to one or two point filler injections. This conservative treatment approach collectively involves about 75 percent less skin injection points than conventional jaw reduction and chin filler procedures.

What is the Difference between IPL and Pixel Laser Treatments?

Difference between IPL and Pixel Laser Treatments | Beverly HillsIntense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Pixel Laser are both light-based non-invasive medspa procedures, but each is designed to serve a different purpose. IPL is mostly recommended as a treatment for pigmentation issues of the skin. It is an ideal solution to treat sun spots and works successfully on tiny blood vessels that cause skin redness.
Pixel Laser, on the other hand, involves an ablative, fractionated laser beam treatment. It is primarily aimed at resurfacing the skin to remove anomalies on the skin surface and smooth out acne scars and minor wrinkles. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides both these procedures to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

IPL Photofacial

IPL photofacial treatments at Motykie medspa are designed to target a range of skin imperfections, including uneven pigmentation and sun spots. The procedure can restore a more uniform looking, luminous, and youthful complexion to the skin. Sun damage and aging effects can also be reduced with this treatment.
IPL photofacial involves little downtime and low risk of side effects because of the relatively gentle light treatment. The effects with IPL can still be fairly dramatic, which will include:

  • Reduction of uneven pigmentation from broken facial veins and capillaries
  • Treating age spots, sun spots, enlarged pores, acne, and rosacea
  • Reduction of facial fine lines and minor wrinkles
  • Treating sun damaged skin

 
IPL treatment works by exposing the pigmented lesions to short bursts or pulses of visible light. During the phototherapy session, the IPL beam will increase the skin’s temperature in the targeted area of highly concentrated melanin pigment. This will destroy the cells in that pigment.
 
The body will naturally replace these cells with new ones, restoring a more uniform, youthful looking skin. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for IPL.
 

Pixel Laser

 
Pixel laser is a skin resurfacing treatment that rejuvenates the affected areas of the skin by treating microscopic dots. These dots are stimulated with laser energy, and will activate the skin’s natural healing response to create enhanced skin tone across the treated area.
 
Pixel laser technique is less invasive, more comfortable and involves less downtime as compared to traditional resurfacing laser procedures. Pixel resurfacing can produce significant aesthetic benefits by way of:
 

  • Mitigating the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Treating years of deep sun damaged skin
  • Reducing enlarged pores
  • Revitalizing sagging skin
  • Treating acne and minor scars
  • Reducing stretch marks
  • Addressing other skin blemishes

 
Pixel laser may even tighten and firm up the loose skin to some degree while improving the overall skin tone and texture. Patients with dull and lackluster skin can benefit from this procedure. In addition to the face, it can even treat areas such as thighs and abdomen which may have stretch marks.
 
Pixel laser procedure involves fractional resurfacing because it only targets a fraction of the skin to trigger the body’s natural healing response in the affected area. It thereby achieves substantial skin rejuvenation with minimal or fractionated laser exposure.

CoolSculpting vs. Liposuction

CoolSculpting vs. Liposuction | Non-Surgical | Beverly Hills Med SpaOver the last several years body contouring fat reduction procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, have significantly grown in popularity in the US. Among fat reduction med spa procedures, CoolSculpting has acquired a place of prominence, while among plastic surgery procedures, liposuction ranks as the number two procedure in the country after breast implants.
CoolSculpting is ideally suited for many patients who want to get rid of stubborn fat pockets without having to undergo liposuction surgery. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides CoolSculpting and other innovative non-surgical body contouring solutions to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Candidacy

Selection of an appropriate candidate for liposuction surgery is more rigorous. The patient should be in fabulous general health and not suffering from any such health concerns that can interfere with surgery or delay recovery. The candidate should have stable body weight and should be prepared to quit smoking for several weeks and strictly follow the surgeon’s instructions.
CoolSculpting medspa procedure will have much easier candidacy requirements compared to liposuction. Almost any adult who is bothered by the appearance of unwanted fat tissue in certain areas such as the thighs, abdomen, hips, arms, neck, chin and calves, but wants to avoid surgery, can benefit from liposuction. Even teens may receive this procedure in exceptional circumstances.
 

Procedure

Liposuction will be perform using general or local anesthesia, depending on the amount of fat to be removed, the number of treatment areas involved, and the type of liposuction technique used. The surgeon may use innovative laser, ultrasound or RF assisted liposuction surgery to make the procedure less invasive.
However, the procedure will in any case involve incisions and physical manipulation of the fat tissue, and its suctioning out with a cannula. Blood and bodily fluids will be replenished during the procedure using IV, incisions will be closed using sutures.
Unlike liposuction, CoolSculpting is a completely non-invasive procedure that can be performed at a medical spa without involving any incisions or anesthesia. A unique cooling process will be used to freeze off the targeted fat cells to their death. As the fat cells gradually disintegrate, they will be removed with the natural metabolic process of the body, revealing slimmer contours.
CoolSculpting devices are now available in multiple forms to provide deeper cooling, greater area coverage, and having the ability to reach difficult-to-access areas such as below the chin. Unlike liposuction, CoolSculpting will involve multiple treatment sessions of about 30 minutes each. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for CoolSculpting.
 

Recovery

In case of liposuction surgery, the patient should be prepared for a downtime of about one week. They will have to take time off from work in order to have plenty of rest at home and allow the healing to occur safely. Drain tubes and sutures will be removed around the end of first week, and pain medications and antibiotics will be prescribed in the first few days.
CoolSculpting will avoid the need for all these post-operative challenges. It involves almost no downtime, and the patient can return to their normal routine the same day.

HydraFacial Skin Care Treatment

HydraFacial Skin Care Treatment | Beverly Hills | Los AngelesFacial treatments have traditionally been among the most popular non-invasive medspa procedures to rejuvenate facial skin. However, one of the challenges for some people seeking facial treatment is that a light facial treatment may not satisfy their aesthetic goals, and a medium or strong facial treatment may cause temporary discomfort and inflame the skin for a few hours.
For those who do not want either of these consequences may consider HydraFacial that promises aggressive outcomes without the aggression. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides HydraFacial and various other innovative cosmetic procedures to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Best of Both the Worlds with HydraFacial

People with a mildly sensitive skin or those who have a low threshold for discomfort may not be willing to undergo a deep facial procedure. Facial procedures that are heavy on extractions and exfoliation can produce dramatic results, but they can also involve temporary skin inflammation and some downtime. On the other hand, light facials may not serve the desired aesthetic purpose for such individuals.
In such cases, HydraFacial can be a promising medspa facial treatment that lives up to its reputation of delivering excellent results without involving significant post-treatment pain or discomfort. HydraFacial lives up to its reputation as a facial that combines the best of both the worlds, and satisfies the patient’s aesthetic needs in a safe and sustainable manner.

Patients who are concerned about dark spots or redness in the facial skin may additionally receive red LED light therapy to target inflammation. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for HydraFacial and various other minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.
 

Procedure

Cleansing and Exfoliation
The first step in the process is cleansing and exfoliation. The treatment provider will use a small deplaning instrument to open up the clogged pores and sweep the topmost skin layer to remove the dead skin cells and debris.
 
Acid Peel
While a majority of glycolic peels leave the skin with a stinging sensation for a few minutes, this peel does not cause this reaction. The glycolic or salicylic peel is gentle and causes only the faintest tingling sensation.
 
Extractions
Instead of a manual extraction, this treatment will involve a special instrument called a vortex extraction nozzle that works as a vacuum. It manages to extract the debris from clogged pores without any pain.
 
Serum Application
This is the final step in the procedure that makes use of the vortex fusion tool. The provider will infuse a serum rich in antioxidants and collagen into the skin using this tool to promote skin hydration and elasticity.
