Lymphatic Drainage and Post Op Care/ Body Contouring
Patients who underwent only liposuction can start the day after their procedure. For those with tummy tucks, we recommend waiting a few days post-surgery or as instructed by your plastic surgeon.
Lymphatic drainage is typically not painful. However, due to post-surgery inflammation, you might experience some discomfort. Nevertheless, we’re confident that the benefits of drainage will outweigh any discomfort.
Most patients will undergo three lymphatic drainage sessions per week for a duration of 4 weeks.
Yes you can.
Yes, your body produces fluid in response to surgery, leading to pain, swelling, and scarring. The aim of drainage massage is to remove this excess fluid from your body to facilitate better healing.
Yes, many plastic surgery patients transition from healing massages to tightening and toning sessions for lifelong benefits. These massages help tighten the skin and maintain the sculpted appearance of surgical areas.
IV Drip Therapy
I.V. Therapy is a way of giving your body important vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids by putting them directly into your bloodstream through an IV drip. This method gets nutrients to your body faster because it skips the digestive system. Studies have shown it works better than taking supplements by mouth.
IV Treatment functions by administering a saline solution, combined with medications and vitamins, directly into the bloodstream through a small catheter and tubing. A nurse inserts the IV line, linking it to a bag of saline solution suspended above the patient. The solution then gradually flows into the veins through gravity, typically lasting 45 minutes to an hour. This technique ensures swift and efficient absorption of nutrients and medications by the body.
The benefits of IV therapy are felt with a single treatment. On average our clients visit 1-2 per week, depending on the goals.
Vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are crucial for maintaining our body’s balance (homeostasis) and overall well-being. Without an adequate supply of these nutrients, we can experience various health issues both in the short and long term. Antioxidants are particularly important as they support our immune system, help cleanse our body by eliminating harmful substances, and prevent cellular damage caused by free radicals. Additionally, antioxidants are involved in generating energy within our cells.
Botox
Botox, a type of neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin type A, is administered through targeted injections using a very fine needle. Its mechanism involves blocking the nerve signals required for facial muscles to contract. By inhibiting the repetitive contractions of these muscles responsible for expression lines and wrinkles, Botox effectively reduces their appearance. Following injection, the neuromodulator relaxes the muscles, reducing their movement and smoothing out lines or wrinkles in the treated area. Results typically become noticeable within 3-7 days after the procedure.
Neuromodulators are versatile and can target various facial areas to address lines and wrinkles. Common treatment sites include the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and lines around the lips. It can also be used to soften chin dimples or injected into jaw muscles to relieve pain from teeth grinding or TMJ, or for a slimming effect on the jawline. It’s worth noting that while these uses are common, some may not be officially approved and are considered off-label.
It may take up to 2 weeks to realize the final effect
Doctors generally recommend that individuals should be at least 20 years old to benefit from neuromodulators.
Microneedling
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated by most individuals. While some may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, topical numbing cream is often applied beforehand to minimize any potential pain.
The number of sessions required varies depending on individual skin concerns and desired outcomes. Typically, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. However, improvement in skin texture and appearance can often be noticed after just one session.
Most people experience mild redness and swelling immediately after microneedling, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. Some individuals may also experience slight peeling or flaking of the skin in the days following the treatment. However, downtime is generally minimal, and patients can usually resume their regular activities shortly after the procedure.
The longevity of microneedling results varies from person to person and depends on factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle habits. In general, results can last for several months to a year or more with proper skincare maintenance and sun protection. Many individuals opt for periodic maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits of microneedling over time.
Yes, microneedling can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance results. Common combination therapies include the application of serums, growth factors, or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) during or immediately after microneedling to further boost collagen production and skin rejuvenation. Additionally, microneedling can complement treatments such as laser therapy or chemical peels for more comprehensive skin improvement. However, it’s essential to consult with a qualified skincare professional to determine the most suitable treatment plan based on individual needs and goals.
Kybella
Kybella is a prescription medicine used to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat below the chin, often referred to as a “double chin.” Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in fullness.
The number of Kybella treatments required varies depending on individual factors such as the amount of submental fat and desired results. Most people undergo a series of 2 to 4 treatments, spaced at least one month apart. Some individuals may require additional sessions to achieve their desired outcome.
The injection process for Kybella may cause some discomfort, similar to other injectable treatments. However, topical numbing cream or ice packs are often applied beforehand to help minimize any discomfort. Additionally, the treatment typically takes only a few minutes to administer.
Common side effects of Kybella include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness around the treatment area. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own within a few days to weeks. Serious side effects such as nerve injury or trouble swallowing are rare but possible and should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.
The results of Kybella are typically long-lasting, as the treatment permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area. Once the desired aesthetic outcome is achieved, further treatment may not be necessary. However, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help ensure the longevity of results.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by mimicking the action of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). By stimulating insulin secretion and reducing glucagon production, semaglutide helps lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
Semaglutide is typically administered by subcutaneous injection once a week. It is available in a prefilled pen device for easy self-administration. The injection is usually given in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
Common side effects of semaglutide may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and constipation. These side effects are usually mild to moderate in severity and may improve over time as the body adjusts to the medication.
Yes, semaglutide has been shown to promote weight loss in addition to its effects on blood sugar control. In clinical trials, people with type 2 diabetes who took semaglutide experienced significant reductions in body weight compared to those who took placebo.
