Opinions on Silhouette Lift?
As of 2016, the FDA approved Silhouette Instalift is available in the United States, and is a beautiful treatment option
Dec 29, 2016
Hello,

Your question is so popular and there is much confusion as to Silhouette Instalift and the many previous thread lifts. As an injection specialist, a doctor who has chosen a very isolated focus on the dermal filler treatments and non-surgical treatments, I find the Silhouette Instalift an ideal and very exciting treatment to provide patients. The bidirectional cones and knotted thread made of completely dissolvable poly l lactic acid (the identical material of…

Average Cost of Silhouette Instalift ?
Silhouette InstaLift offers lift and restored volume, a great refreshed youthful enhancement.
Dec 29, 2016
Hello!

I am of the opinion that a patient 5 years post full facelift, does not have a significant amount of loose skin and believe that this procedure may be an ideal option for you. The silhouette instalift may be used in the mid face jawline, neck, and even forehead area and provides an average of 1-2 mm. lift. As importantly, because it’s made of poly-l-lactic acid, it will provide volume collagen stimulation which is so important to a youthful appearance. Sight unseen,…

Kybella or coolsculpting for my ugly double chin?
CoolSculpting and Kybella may be right for you. Skin tightening treatment to be considered afterward
Nov 29, 2016
Hello!

I believe you would appreciate the results from either Kybella or CoolSculpting. You will see a reduction in the area of concern and in our experience, we’ve not seen significant changes in the skin laxity or greater sagging with our patients. We aren’t able to assess you in person, however I would encourage you to discuss the skin tightening treatment options as well, because your concern is valid. Many of our patients choose to do a combination to further tighten…

With Thermiva, what is the length of time between treatments, is 6 weeks to long to wait before t
ThermiVa treatments scheduled 4-6 weeks apart has delivered outstanding results for patients
Nov 29, 2016
Our clinic that focuses on feminine rejuvenation sees most patients every 4 weeks between ThermiVa treatments, however those who have not been on the exact schedule have reported consistently positive feedback. We always encourage patients to commit to their treatments during the initial therapy. We’ve also seen patients who choose to purchase a treatment every few months as they notice symptoms or want to maintain the results and continue with visible improvement as well.

I hope…

Just had my 1st Thermiva treatment, noticed slight improvement, Does his mean the 2nd treatment w
The benefits of ThermiVa improve throughout your initial series
Nov 11, 2016
Hello!

ThermiVa is provided in my clinic under the direction of our female Nurse Practitioner who has OB/GYN experience. While I am not involved with our ThermiVa patients I have attended in the training and conversations regarding the results and patient feedback. As well, several of our female staff have been treated and share openly with myself and with prospective patients, their experiences. In every case scenario, the initial series of therapy (3-4 treatments most commonly)…

I had dysport 10 days ago in my forehead and in my 11’s; why is my forehead doing this?
Forehead expression pictures never get old!
Nov 11, 2016
Hello!

Thank you for asking this question! Dysport (or Botox) can be used to treat isolated areas (muscles), or multiple areas (muscles) during a treatment appointment. IF we treat some, and not all muscles in an area, you may notice some unfamiliar or unnatural movement, particularly after the product has taken full affect. When the product affects the treated muscles, the muscles surrounding the treated area are recruited and may cause…

Do I need cheek filler?
Voluma and Dermal Fillers should not look unnatural and can help you improve hollows
Nov 11, 2016
Hello!

I appreciate that you’ve shared a photo along with your questions- good ones by the way… and apologize that I can’t use the photo entirely to make recommendations. Based on the feedback from one physician regarding a .5 cc Voluma per side, I think this is conservative and could offer you improvement and a very natural looking outcome. I love Voluma for many reasons, but also would encourage you to pursue a specialist who provides Sculptra. Based on your…
