Posted on May 1, 2022 by adminmms

Soften Facial Wrinkles

A large number of women and men are unhappy with fine lines and wrinkles because it makes them appear older than they actually are. Dermal filler injectables can be used for diminishing aging lines and restoring a youthful facial appearance.

Motykie Med Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides dermal filler injections for softening facial creases and wrinkles to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

Types of Facial Fillers for Wrinkle Reduction

Calcium Hydroxylapatite

Brand name: Radiesse

Calcium hydroxylapatite is a naturally occurring mineral compound in the human body. This dermal filler is used for:

Nasolabial folds, frown lines, and marionette lines among other moderate to severe creases
Enhancing facial contours and fullness of the cheeks
Improving in facial areas with atrophy

Calcium hydroxylapatite used in Radiesse is biosynthetically produced. This means that no animal products are used. This reduces the risk of having an allergic reaction. You won’t require skin testing as well. This dermal filler is known for producing natural results. It doesn’t cause any lumps or migrate. Side effects and complications are rare as well. The dermal filler was earlier used in dentistry with a long safety record.

Hyaluronic Acid

Brand names: Captique, Esthélis, Hylaform, Juvederm, Perlane, Prevelle, Restylane

Hyaluronic acid injectables can be used for improving the contour of the skin and reducing depressions because of injury, scars and lines. You can use hyaluronic acid-based fillers for improving:

Cheek depressions
Acne scars
Crow’s feet
Frown lines
Deep smile lines or nasolabial furrows
Redefining lip border
Marionette lines
Scars including acne, burns and the ones caused by wounds
Smoker’s lines
Other types of facial scars
Worry lines running across the forehead

Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the human body. There are high concentrations of this substance in soft connective tissues and the fluid that surrounds the eyes. HA is also present in skin tissue and joint and cartilage fluids.

This compound is extracted and reformulated to mimic the natural substance. It has become one of the more popular active ingredients in dermal fillers because of its safety and efficacy. Hyaluronic acid is also injected in the aching joints of patients suffering from arthritis. It provides extra cushioning and relieves pain.

Polylactic Acid

Brand name: Sculptra

Polylactic acid is a type of synthetic dermal filler. It is injected in the face and causes the body to produce collagen. This type of wrinkle reducing dermal filler injectable is usually known as a stimulator. Polylactic acid dermal fillers are known to work particularly well when used in the lower half of the face. It can be used for:

Filling the lines caused by laughing
Plumping thin lips
Treating nasolabial folds

Polylactic acid based dermal fillers are not the same as other wrinkle reducing fillers. They don’t provide immediate results. Instead, they work to produce collagen in the body. Results usually appear gradually over a period of next few weeks or months depending on individual anatomy.

You would probably require three monthly treatments for achieving desired results. There is a re-stimulation of collagen production with each medical spa injectable treatment with Sculptra Aesthetic. Motykie Med Spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for dermal fillers to soften facial creases and wrinkles.

Laser Skin Resurfacing To Get Rid Of Hyperpigmentation

Posted on March 5, 2022 by adminmms

Hyperpigmentation Treatment

Hyperpigmentation is the result of the skin producing excess melanin or the pigment responsible for skin color. This can make patches on the skin appear darker than other areas. It can also make spots more visible. This is a common condition affecting people of all types of skin. Sun spots and melasma among other forms of hyperpigmentation usually occur on sun-exposed areas, such as the face, legs, and arms.

Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides laser skin resurfacing for the treatment of hyperpigmentation to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

Treating Hyperpigmentation with Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing med spa treatment makes use of laser pulses for improving the appearance of skin and treating minor facial flaws. This includes hyperpigmentation. The procedure can be done using:

Ablative laser

This laser type wounds the skin and removes the epidermis or the thin outermost skin layer while heating the underlying skin or dermis. This has an added effect of promoting collagen growth.

The treated area becomes smoother and more natural looking as the epidermis heals and grows. This removes hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Erbium laser, carbon dioxide laser, and a combination of both are a few common types of ablative laser treatments.

Nonablative laser

These lasers are non-wounding in nature. They stimulate collagen production that helps in improving skin tone and texture. It also reduces hyperpigmentation. Nonablative skin resurfacing requires less recovery time and is less invasive in nature. This laser skin resurfacing is more appropriate for less severe cases of hyperpigmentation.

Fractional laser can be used for performing both types of laser skin resurfacing medical spa treatments. This method leaves microscopic columns of untreated tissue. Fractional lasers are developed for shortening recovery time and reducing the risk of side effects.

Hyperpigmentation can be decreased by laser skin resurfacing. It can also improve your complexion if you have sun damage or scars. You can decide if laser resurfacing is right for you by understanding the risks and possible outcomes of different laser types.

Is the Procedure Painful?

Laser skin treatments are not painful. Your treatment provider will use a topical gel for ensuring your comfort. Little sensation, like mild warmth or tingling is reported by most patients. These are temporary sensations that last for as long as the treatment is performed.

Recovery

Laser skin resurfacing recovery is usually short. There is little to no downtime in most treatments. You would need to regularly moisturize, apply sunscreen, and avoid direct sun exposure or excessive heat.

Laser Skin Resurfacing is Safe

Certain laser systems are not recommended for darker complexions since it can lead to light skin patches or hyperpigmentation. However, non-ablative laser treatments can be performed on medium to dark skin complexions.

Suitable Candidates

Laser skin treatment should be considered by anyone who is not satisfied with the texture or appearance of their skin. You could be a suitable candidate for the procedure if you want to treat hyperpigmentation. Motykie Med Spa, led by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for laser skin resurfacing for the treatment of hyperpigmentation.

Laser Skin Resurfacing To Get Rid Of Age Spots

Posted on March 1, 2022 by adminmms

Age Spots

Age spots occur as flat gray, brown, or black spots on the skin. They usually form on areas that are exposed to the sun. Age spots or liver spots are also known as sun spots, solar lentigines, and senile lentigo.

Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides laser skin resurfacing for the treatment of age spots to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

Causes of Age Spots

Age spots form as a result of excess production of skin pigment or melanin. There is research required to understand why age spots develop. Sun exposure, skin aging, or other forms of UV light exposure can be possible causes. You are most likely to develop them on the face and other sun kissed areas.

Laser Skin Resurfacing for Age Spots

Laser resurfacing medical spa treatment includes the use of advanced energy-based treatment for exfoliating the skin and penetrating into the sub-dermal skin layers. This induces natural regenerative abilities of the body.

Laser skin resurfacing is an incredibly diverse technology and can treat a broad range of skin problems. This includes removing age spots. Skin resurfacing procedures using lasers are anti-aging in nature and are appropriate for the majority of patients.

Mechanism of Laser Skin Resurfacing

A skilled laser technician will apply the treatment device to your skin. Small amount of heat will be emitted by the device. This will leave your skin with a faint tingling sensation. Laser treatments can be used for accomplishing your desired goals in just 1 – 2 sessions depending on the design of the system and the type of treatment you need. Largely, there are two types of laser treatments – ablative and nonablative.

Ablative Lasers

Ablative lasers include a collection of skin resurfacing systems that essentially create micro-injuries on the skin for prompting the skin’s healing abilities. They are minimally invasive and effective in performing deep exfoliation by removing the outer layers. Ablative lasers can be used for several skin concerns, such as sun damage and age spots. It can also be used for smoothing skin texture.

Non-Ablative Lasers

Non-ablative lasers don’t cause any injury to the skin. These systems generally involve ultrasound or light technology for stimulating the sub-dermal skin layers. Non-ablative lasers are a form of noninvasive treatment that is best for addressing skin concerns at root level. These layers are useful for encouraging collagen production and reducing the appearance of age spots and fine lines.

What Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Do?

The initial assumption made by some patients when they hear about laser resurfacing is that it only addresses issues at skin surface. However, laser treatments can be used for addressing both sub-dermal and superficial skin concerns. It can be used for treating age spots, blemishes, and sun damage.

One of the more popular types of non-invasive skin laser med spa treatments is Fraxel. This technology can be used for smoothing the tone and texture of the skin. It can also eliminate certain skin concerns, such as freckles and age spots.

Motykie Med Spa, led by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for laser skin resurfacing for the treatment of age spots.

Laser Skin Resurfacing To Get Rid Of Lines And Wrinkles

Posted on February 5, 2022 by adminmms

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing treatment is meant for reducing skin irregularities, like acne scars and blemishes, and facial wrinkles. The technique uses short, concentrated laser pulses to remove skin layers precisely and one by one. This procedure is also known as laser vaporization, laser peel, or lasabrasion.

You may be a suitable candidate for laser skin resurfacing if you have wrinkles or fine lines around the eyes and mouth. Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides laser skin resurfacing for the treatment of facial lines and wrinkles to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

Types of Laser Skin Resurfacing

There are several different types of lasers, such as erbium and carbon dioxide (CO2) that are used in laser resurfacing. These vaporize skin cells that are damaged at the surface level.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing

This type of laser resurfacing has been in use for years. The treatment can work on creases, facial wrinkles, and other conditions. Fractioned Co2 lasers are the latest version and make use of ultrapulse or very short pulsed light energy. These are continuous light beams that are delivered in a scanning pattern for removing thin layers of skin without significant heat damage. Your recovery may take up to 14 days.

Erbium Laser Resurfacing

Erbium laser resurfacing is focused on removing moderately deep and surface-level wrinkles and lines on the hands, face, chest, and neck. One of the primary benefits of erbium laser resurfacing is reduced burning of tissues.

There are few side effects to this laser type. Side effects include redness, bruising, and swelling. Recovery time in this type of laser is faster as compared to CO2 laser resurfacing. In some cases, recovery may not take more than 7 days. Erbium laser skin resurfacing medical spa treatment is recommended for people with darker skin tone.

Fractional Lasers

Only a fraction of the treatment area is targeted with this type of laser at a time. The option can be used for treating a number of concerns, such as fine lines, blemishes, and wrinkles. The laser energy will be broken in thousands of tiny beams for treating a fraction of the skin area. This helps in reducing downtime. The laser can either be ablative or non-ablative.

Expectations

Laser skin resurfacing is generally an outpatient med spa procedure, which means you don’t need to stay overnight. The doctor will numb the area if only a small area needs to be treated. You may receive general anesthesia if the entire face needs to be treated. The entire procedure will take only 30 to 45 minutes if only parts of the face are being treatment. Full facial treatment can take up to 2 hours.

Recovering from Laser Skin Resurfacing

Your doctor will bandage the treated area following the laser procedure. You will need to clean the area 4 to 5 times a day after 24 hours of the treatment. You will be asked to apply petroleum jelly or any other ointment for preventing scabs from forming. All wounds will heal within 10 to 21 days.

Botox Brow And Forehead Lift

Posted on February 1, 2022 by adminmms

Botox Forehead Lift

Botox brow lift is useful in treating dynamic wrinkles between the brows and horizontal lines (11s) on the forehead. These lines and wrinkles are formed by expressions and muscle movements on the upper face. Botox brow lift and forehead lift can be used for elevating the height of the brows as well. The procedure may be combined with other procedures, such as eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides non-surgical Botox forehead lift and Botox brow lift treatments to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

Mechanism of Botox Forehead Lift

The position of the forehead and eyebrows skin is largely controlled by two muscle groups that are opposing in nature. One group of muscles works towards pulling the upper facial skin downwards while the other group elevates the eyebrows.

Botox works towards temporarily relaxing the muscles that pull the forehead skin and brows down. It allows the muscles that elevate the brows to work in an unopposed fashion. A subtle forehead lift is the result of these Botox injections.

Suitable Candidates

Botox is recommended for adults above the age of 18. Botox brow lift can benefit both men and women with moderate to severe frown lines. People looking for Botox injections for sagging forehead or frown lines between the eyebrows are generally trying to avoid plastic surgery.

Botox forehead lift is best used for correcting sagging skin in the forehead without the need for incisions, cuts, and general anesthesia. Blepharoplasty may be considered by some candidates for maximizing results around the eye area.

Eyelid and Eyebrow Coordination

Lowered eyelids may be caused by furrowed brows. Forehead muscles try to maintain brows in their natural positions through increased contractibility. This leads to the creation of horizontal furrows on the forehead. Botox allows the facial muscles to relax. The muscles stay loose, which helps keep the skin smooth. This erases wrinkles and lines. Results of Botox can remain effective for 3 – 6 months.

Eyebrow Positioning

The positioning of eyebrows is different between men and women. The ideal brow position for women is above the edge of the superciliary arch (brow ridge) while in men it is right on the ridge. The lateral and medial parts of the eyebrows should be on a horizontal level. Eyebrow surgery can result in disbalance of the brow position, which is why many people choose Botox.

Your surgeon will recommend possible solutions after understanding your needs to obtain the desired effect. The injection area will depend on the part of the brow that requires correction. It will also depend on other facial muscles. The surgeon may choose to take gradual steps until the final outcome is attained if it’s a first-time patient.

Results of Botox Forehead Lift

Botox results may appear in just a few days. You can acquire better anti-aging results over time with more injections, since that would wear down the underlying muscles around the eyebrows. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for Botox forehead lift and Botox brow lift facial rejuvenation treatments.

What Causes Spider Veins?

Posted on January 14, 2022 by adminmms

Spider Veins

Spider veins are similar to varicose veins. They are dilated superficial blood vessels that are smaller and closer to the skin surface. Spider veins are usually seen behind the knees. However, they are not limited to the knees. Spider veins are generally painless and harmless. However, they do appear unsightly. Laser or sclerotherapy treatment can be used for eliminating these veins for cosmetic skin care reasons.

Spider veins happen because of increased pressure within the veins. However, researchers are not sure why spider veins develop in some people and not in others. It is known that the condition can be hereditary and becomes more likely as a person gets older. It is also believed that teachers, nurses, and other similarly demanding jobs where a person is required to stand long hours are more at risk of developing spider veins.

Spider veins can make affected areas look unsightly. If left untreated, the veins may cause discomfort as well. Motykie Med Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides spider vein removal treatments with Asclera injections or laser therapy to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

Probable Causes of Spider Veins

These are a few underlying causes that may result in the formation of spider veins:

Hereditary factors
Occupations which require a person to stand for long hours, such as nurses, teachers, and factory workers
Hormonal fluctuations
Obesity or overweight
Hormonal replacement therapy
History of blood clotting
Use of birth control pills
Previous vein surgery
Skin injury or trauma
UV light exposure

Spider veins can affect any adult. However, the problem is seen more in women as compared to men. It is highly likely in older people as well. A third of the US population by estimation is affected by spider veins. Women in childbearing age are more susceptible to the appearing of spider veins.

Other Factors

Other risk factors include:

Pregnancy
Sudden or significant weight gain
Other family members having spider veins
Sedentary lifestyle

Vein walls can weaken and result in the congestion of deoxygenated blood within the veins. This can lead to spider veins. Poor blood flow in certain veins and vein valve defects can also result in the appearance of these veins.

How to Reduce the Risk of Spider Veins

Preventing spider veins is not possible. However, you can reduce the risk of occurrence by consciously not putting excess pressure on your legs. This can be done by avoiding long hours of standing and maintaining a healthy body weight.

Maintaining regular exercise regimen, avoiding sedentary lifestyle, and performing daily walks helps in minimizing the risk of spider veins. People at a high risk because of family history may consider wearing compression socks for managing and preventing the symptoms of spider veins.

There are multiple specific leg exercises which help in improving blood flow to the legs. These exercises help in strengthening the muscles and veins as well, which further reduces the risk of spider veins. Motykie Med Spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for safe and proven Asclera injection or laser based spider vein removal treatments.

Spider Vein Removal With Asclera® Injections Before And After Photos

Posted on January 3, 2022 by adminmms

Spider Vein Removal

Spider veins and minor varicose veins can make the skin in the affected areas look unappealing. These conditions can result in discomfort and other similar complications if not treated in time. Diseased veins can be addressed by various treatment options. Your vein expert will recommend a suitable treatment option based on your aesthetic goals and individual condition.

Spider vein removal medical spa therapy using Asclera injections is becoming highly popular. Your vein specialist may show you Asclera injection sclerotherapy before and after pictures to help you make a proper decision.

Motykie Med Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides Asclera (polidocanol) injections for spider vein removal and treatment to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

Connecting with New Patients

Connections can be developed easily when treatment providers show before and after pictures to new patients. You may be in a better position to understand how Asclera injection therapy works in reducing the impact of spider veins after looking at before and after images. New patients feel more confident and reassured as well about the procedure after looking at visual evidence.

Patients are appreciative of treatment providers that adopt a forthcoming and transparent approach for helping them make judicious decisions. A positive mindset is developed by candidates after they look at other patients undergoing similar treatment with successful outcomes. It also helps in creating an environment of openness and trust.

This correlates with transparency which is pivotal in the plastic surgery industry. Transparency may not always come into play in the entertainment industry or the political theater but when you want someone to volunteer to allow you to conduct treatment on them or schedule a noninvasive surgery you need to build trust. And trust is hard to obtain if you are not transparent and Dr. Motykie is which is why he has been in this field for so long and why he’s so successful.

He’s earned the trust of lots of people.

Pictures Speak Volumes

Treatment providers can effectively communicate their message by showing spider vein before and after images. Images are more effective at telling the story than words. Words are hard to understand and are open to interpretation. These restrictions are not present with images. Asclera injection before and after images are immune to barriers of language.

Educating Using Social Media Platforms

Potential of Asclera injection before and after images for educating people and increasing awareness has increased in recent years with the dominance of social media. YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook enjoy billions of users that can easily access before and after images.

Asclera injection before and after images can be shared in multiple ways for increasing awareness about the procedure. Surgeons can present photos in the following ways:

Website galleries: creating an image gallery on the website which has not occurred yet for this type of treatment, but this does not mean the website cannot be updated any day of the week
Portfolio: potential patients can look at image portfolios
Blog posts: posts can be made more effective by posting images
Social media: images can optimize social media posts for spreading awareness in a discreet manner

Detailed Asclera injection before and after pictures can be created by surgeons for educational and promotional purposes. The gallery can portray surgeon’s expertise and skills while informing prospective patients about the benefits of the procedure.

Create Realistic Expectations

Significant results can be achieved with Asclera injection based spider vein medical spa treatment. However, patients need to understand the limitations of noninvasive procedures. Realistic expectations reduce the risk of disappointment at a later stage. Asclera injection ‘before and after’ images can be useful in this endeavor.

Spider Vein Removal & Treatment With Asclera® (polidocanol) Injections

Posted on December 1, 2021 by adminmms

Spider Vein Removal & Treatment

Pre-Operative Consultation

Pre-treatment consultation process is an integral part of the spider vein treatment process. Good consultations create strong foundations. During the initial consultation, the patient will get an opportunity for comprehending procedural steps. They will also attain a thorough understanding of the provider’s background.

The treatment provider will also be able to establish whether you are a good candidate for the injections or not during initial consultation. In some cases, treatment providers choose to show before and after images of Asclera injections. These pictures are useful in helping new patients develop realistic expectations.

With that said, new patients will also be able to see testimonials of past patients to understand the procedure from another’s point of view.

Foam sclerotherapy is an effective solution if the patient has a few varicose veins along with spider veins. The procedure involves administering a specialized foamy solution. Larger sized veins can be removed by using this procedure. Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is a poignant option for veins that are embedded beneath skin surface.

Your treatment provider may recommend a gel or cream for expediting healing of bruises. You may have to use an ice pack in the initial 1 to 2 days following treatment.
