Motykie Medical Spa ranks among the top providers of some of the latest and proven aesthetic treatments in the non-surgical category. The medspa is led by Dr. Gary Motykie, who is an experienced plastic surgeon with a reputed practice. Dr. Motykie brings rich experience and expertise to his medical spa, which is a distinguishing feature of the facility. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding areas have an opportunity to receive treatment at the state of the art facility.

Growing Popularity of Cosmetic Treatments

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) released a comprehensive “Plastic Surgery Statistics Report” in 2012, which provides interesting data about the increasing nationwide acceptance of surgical as well as non-surgical cosmetic procedures in the United States. The growth is not limited just to a few selected invasive or non-invasive treatments, and the phenomenon appears to be consistent for a wide range of procedures across the board.
The figures provided by the ASPS are a testimony to the fact that patient satisfaction with regard to various surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures is on the rise. In fact, the figures reveal a significant increase in the number of repeat patients. Reputed medical spa facilities such as Motykie MedSpa are a part of this growth trend, and enjoy a consistently high patient satisfaction and patient loyalty towards the facility. See the average cost of cosmetic procedures and treatments.

Statistical Highlights

The ASPS report shows that a total of 14.6 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the U.S. in 2012, which represented a five percent increase over the previous year. The number of cosmetic minimally invasive procedures was as high as 13 million, which was an increase of six percent over the previous year.
The top five cosmetic surgical procedures in 2012 included breast augmentation, nose reshaping, eyelid surgery, liposuction, and a facelift. Breast augmentation continued to be the leading cosmetic surgery procedure, and has been at the top since 2006. 62 percent of the breast augmentation patients opted for silicone implants, compared to 38 percent for saline implants.
Among the minimally invasive aesthetic procedures, Botox outperformed other procedures significantly. 6.1 million Botox Type A treatments were performed in 2012, which marked an increase of eight percent over 2011. Dermal fillers came at the second spot with two million procedures, followed by chemical peel treatment, laser hair removal and microdermabrasion procedures in that order.
Among all the non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, facial rejuvenation procedures experienced the maximum growth in 2012. Interestingly enough, 91 percent of all cosmetic procedures were performed on women, while only nine percent were performed on men. Nearly half of all cosmetic procedures were performed on people in the age group of 40 to 54 years.

Growth in Repeat Patients

Perhaps the biggest reaffirmation for the aesthetic treatment providers came in the form of the faith reposed by existing patients of cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures. Business from repeat patients grew by seven percent in 2012 compared to 2011, which represents a significant jump in a single year. It demonstrates the high satisfaction levels of patients with aesthetic procedures across the board.

The popular TV program, “Money Smart” by Anchor-Reporter Glen Walker on KTLA 5, invited board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie, to educate viewers about the potential risks of bargain hunting when they are looking for plastic surgery and other cosmetic procedures. Dr. Motykie strongly recommends people to exercise careful judgment and discretion when opting for any aesthetic procedures from injectables to plastic surgery.

Your Body is Precious

Any procedure that is designed to treat the body or physical appearance is ultimately only medicine. Therefore, choosing a salon or another non-medical facility for such procedures is fraught with obvious risks. Such procedures may sometimes appear to be minor in the beginning, or clever marketing tactics may make patients believe them to be minor, but they can pose risk for the patient’s health as well as looks if they are performed by an individual who is not adequately trained for it.
Dr. Motykie suggests that any procedure that involves the body needs to be performed only by a certified expert with sufficient experience in that particular procedure. Human skin and other body organs are very delicate, and even the slightest mistake can prove to be costly. Sometimes the damage can be long-term or permanent. In many cases, if the procedure goes wrong, the physical and emotional scars can last a lifetime.

Cost of Revision Procedures

If a procedure performed by an unqualified person results in undesirable results, it can cost a lot more money to fix it. Multiple revision procedures may be required, and typically a revision surgery will cost more than the primary surgery because of the complexities involved. In any case, revision surgeries are no guarantee of full recovery from the damage caused in the first place. Therefore, patients ought to consider the risk of adverse consequences carefully before they choose to opt for alluring bargain deals in aesthetic procedures.

Risk with Botox Bargains

Botox is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures in the U.S., and clearly, bargain offers abound to cash upon the opportunity in this area. However, patients should be aware that Botox is made from botulinum neurotoxin, which is the most powerful biological substance known to man. It is designed to temporarily paralyze the targeted nerve that is causing a wrinkle. If this potent medication is delivered wrongly or used in wrong dosage, it can cause severe damage to the face.
Only certified and experienced Botox providers at a medical office facility should provide this treatment. Another challenge is that some marketers use Botox bargains just to get the patient into the door in order to sell them more invasive and complicated aesthetic procedures. It is up to the people to apply their own judgment, and not get attracted by the lure of cheap prices.

Science and Art of Cosmetic Procedures

Plastic surgery and lesser invasive procedures are scientific treatments that should ideally be performed in a medical environment where the risk of infection, bio-sanitary risks, and pre- and post-procedure risks are adequately addressed. Secondly, aesthetic procedures are an art, and not just a technical skill. Cheaper deals in such procedures can prove to be a lot more expensive in the end.

Juvederm Before and After Photos

juvederm voluma before and after picture

Patients who may be considering a non-surgical injectable cosmetic filler treatment such as Juvederm for the first time may need to know what kind of results to expect from this treatment. An experienced medical spa will provide Juvederm before and after photographs to the patients for this purpose. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby locations can have access to these pictures at Dr. Motykie’s medspa.
What are Juvederm Before and After Pictures?
Before and after images in case of Juvederm injectable gel treatment refer to a pair or group of pictures belonging to an earlier patient who has received the same treatment successfully. The pictures include images taken prior to the treatment and after the treatment at a stage when full effects of Juvederm have appeared.
These pictures are taken discreetly and with the consent of the patient. The goal of the treatment provider is to use these photos as a visual tool to educate new patients about how Juvederm injections may impact their facial appearance.
Some Key Benefits
When a patient visits a medical spa to explore various anti-aging treatment options, they may have only a vague idea about the effectiveness of injectable dermal filler treatments such as Juvederm. Some patients may seek a filler treatment specifically, but may not be sure whether to choose Juvederm or some other filler for best results. In some cases, the medspa may recommend a combination of Juvederm with another aesthetic treatment to meet the patient’s aesthetic goals.
In all these situations, the treatment expert is in a better position to address the patient’s concerns and queries with the help of Juvederm before and after pictures. At Motykie Medical Spa, patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other areas may visit for a Juvederm consultation and review the before and after photos in order to make an informed choice.
Staying Realistic
In any aesthetic procedure, it is important that the patient should have clear goals, a positive frame of mind, and realistic expectations about the treatment. Sometimes the patient may form wrong expectations about Juvederm treatment despite the best verbal explanations of the treatment provider. This can lead to disappointment later on at the time of final results. Juvederm before and after photos can mitigate this possibility for the benefit of everyone involved.
When a patient knows clear what the Juvederm injections can or cannot do for them, they are in a better position to make an informed decision. Therefore, a reputed medical spa will usually keep a collection of before and after photos for various non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures, including Juvederm.
Posting the Images on the Website
A medical spa with a dedicated website of its own also have the option of providing the before and after photos of various procedures, including Juvederm, on the site. These pictures can be provided in a separate ‘Photo Gallery’ section, which can be accessed from the site home page. A new patient may choose to visit this section from the privacy of their home or office. They may decide to visit the med spa only after they have reviewed the Juvederm before and after pictures online.

Juvederm is one of the most effective FDA-approved facial fillers available today. Motykie Medical Spa provides Juvederm and other non-surgical anti-aging treatments to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding areas.
Juvederm treatment is well suited for people who are keen to reduce mild to moderate wrinkles, creases and fine lines from the face without surgery. Dr. Gary Motykie’s medspa provides this treatment is a safe and friendly environment of personalized care.

Need for Juvederm
Juvederm cosmetic filler treatment is designed to restore natural facial contour, and remove or reduce unwanted wrinkles and lines from the face. Sometimes the treatment may also be applied effectively to augment the lips. At Motykie Medical Spa, patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby locations may receive this treatment for the following purposes:

Smooth lines around the mouth and nose and minimize nasolabial folds.
Enhance the appearance and shape of lips.
Reduce the appearance of crow’s feet around the eyes.
Minimize laugh lines.
Add volume to the cheeks to improve the facial contour.

Juvederm is one of the effective solutions to treat static facial lines that continue to show even when the face is still and expressionless. Softer and subtle appearance of lips is also possible with this unique injectable gel treatment.
How does it Work?
Juvederm injectable treatment can be received as an outpatient procedure at a medspa that is qualified and equipped to provide such solutions. The treatment provider will inject the Juvederm gel-based filler directly into the targeted area of the face. Very fine needles will be used for the purpose.
The Juvederm gel will travel to the deeper layers of the skin and stimulate the natural production of collagen. The gel will also make the skin fuller almost instantly by adding volume to the depleted areas of the face. The wrinkles and folds that are caused due to loss of volume will get smoothed out quite naturally.
Biocompatible Treatment
Juvederm filler gel is based on hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance in the human body. This makes the treatment highly biocompatible, unlike various animal-based dermal fillers available today. Juvederm is a highly safe treatment for most people, and no specific allergy tests are required prior to receiving this treatment.
Hyaluronic acid promotes the production of natural collagen and causes replenishment of lost skin volume gradually. Therefore, people who have experience loss of skin elasticity and volume due to aging or other factors can benefit from Juvederm treatment.
Results and Recovery
Juvederm treatment does not involve any downtime because there are no incisions or other invasive techniques involved. The outcome with this FDA-approved treatment is safe and predictable as long as the treatment is provided by a qualified expert with experience in dermal filler injections. The results are visible almost instantly, but the full effects will continue to develop over the next few days and weeks after the treatment. The results are sustainable for a period of up to one year or even more in certain cases.

A Patient’s Journey of Their Coolsculpting Process…

I’ve always had a layer of pudge on my tummy, which I didn’t really mind pre-kiddos, but the crepe-ing and overall looseness of my skin makes the extra weight really unbearable for me to look at. So it had to go.

I started a series of treatments with Motykie Med Spa in LA both to shrink down the inches and deal with the skin situation. I kicked it off with CoolSculpting (large suction head, lower abdomen) about four weeks ago.The procedure itself was no big deal. Mild discomfort in the beginning, slightly more moderate discomfort towards the end. I was a little claustrophobic, but I took a my prescribed anti-anxiety medication before the procedure and for the most part I was fairly relaxed. (Loved Tricia, she was incredibly soothing.)

Laser hair removal is one of the sought after treatments at Motykie Medical Spa. The facility operates under the direct supervision and guidance of Dr. Gary Motykie, who is a board certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Motykie likes to educate every patient about various aspects of the procedure through before and after photographs. Laser hair removal ‘before and after photos,’ are provided at his medspa. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other areas have an opportunity to receive this treatment at the facility.
What are Laser Hair Removal Before and After Pictures?
In case of laser hair removal, before and after pictures refer to a set of images pertaining to an earlier patient who has undergone the same treatment successfully. The set consists of pictures taken before and after the treatment at a time when full effects of the laser treatment have appeared.
These pictures are taken in a discreet manner, and with the consent of the patient. The goal of a doctor is to use these pictures as a visual aid to educate new patients about various aspects of laser hair removal treatment. At Motykie Medical Spa, these photographs are made available to patients during the initial consultation.
Advantages
A new patient may not have a clear idea of how laser hair treatment may be different from other traditional solutions such as shaving, tweezing or waxing. With the help of before and after photos, the laser treatment expert can demonstrate the potential effectiveness of the procedure very clearly. Each patient may have different hair type, density and cycle of hair growth, which may require a different treatment approach.
In some cases, laser treatment may have to be combined with another procedure. The specific area to be treated will also differ between patients, which will require varying treatment approaches. All these issues can be addressed most effectively during the initial consultation when the patient has access to laser hair removal before and after photos. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas can request these photos at Dr. Motykie’s medspa.
Being Realistic about the Procedure
An experienced laser treatment provider will try to ensure that the patient gets a very clear idea of what the laser hair removal procedure can or cannot do for them. The patient should be under no confusion, and should be able to make informed choices about the treatment. Before and after photos can prove to be very useful in achieving this aim. Patients with clear aesthetic goals, positive outlook and realistic expectations can usually attain high satisfaction levels from their treatment.
Digital Photographs Online
It is possible to provide laser hair removal before and after photos on the medical spa website. These photos can be included in a separate section called ‘Image Gallery’ on the website. A new patient can review the pictures online in their privacy and comfort of their home or office. Only once the patient has reviewed the pictures, they may choose to visit the medspa for a consultation regarding laser hair removal treatment

Factors Affecting the Cost

Laser hair removal treatment costs will differ from one patient to another as well as from one practice to another. Several factors go into determining the overall cost of the treatment for a particular patient. As a non-surgical solution, the treatment is significantly less expensive compared to a typical plastic surgery solution.
Practice Location
The overall cost of laser hair removal will vary depending on the average cost of living in a particular region. For instance, the cost of the procedure in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities could be different from the cost in Jacksonville, FL.

Quality and Reputation of the Facility

The cost of laser hair removal may depend to an extent on the quality, services and reputation of a particular medical spa where the treatment is provided. If the place offers state of the art laser technologies, well-qualified and experienced support staff, and personalized care and service, the cost of treatment may be slightly higher compared to an average medspa facility. The outcomes at highly reputed facilities may be qualitatively different when compared to an average low-cost facility.

Extent of Treatment

Laser hair treatment costs will directly depend on the specific areas of the body which need to be treated, in addition to the total surface area to be treated. Some patients may need more treatment sessions to achieve their desired aesthetic goals, while in some cases, just one or two treatment sessions may suffice to meet the patient’s needs. The cost will usually be charged separately for each treatment session.

Sclerotherapy, one of the services we offer at Motykie MedSpa, is still considered the gold standard of treating spider veins. Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but smaller and more visible because they are closer to the skin’s surface. Women are more likely to develop spider veins because of hormonal changes due to puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause but men can also get them as well. They are most commonly present in the legs and face and are usually due to lack of exercise, obesity, sitting or standing for long periods, heredity and lack of exercise. This is a safe and virtually painless treatment and as with any cosmetic procedure, it is important you are treated by a well-trained provider. Mary Brownfield, one of our registered nurses has had advanced training in Sclerotherapy and has helped our patients to achieve beautiful results. To find out if you are a good candidate for this procedure, please contact us at 310-276-6772 and we would be happy to answer any of your questions or schedule your complimentary consultation.
