Both Botox and Xeomin are purified proteins that when injected into facial muscles, help to cause relaxation which in turn, results in reduced wrinkles or lines in the skin.

Botox and Xeomin last about 3 months each and require absolutely no down time.  A quick visit to Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group and you will receive your treatment in less than 15 minutes. Although no bending over or strenuous exercise is advised for at least 4 hours following the treatment, there are no other precautions to take.

Botox and Xeomin areused to treat crow’s feet (lines on the side of the eyes, usually caused from squinting), the frown lines (otherwise known as the “11”, the area in between the eyebrows) and the forehead wrinkles. Other areas of the face can also benefit from Botox or Xeomin injections such as the bunny nose (lines in the nose usually caused by a scrunching  motion), the masseter muscles (the muscles on the angle of the jawline) and also platysmal bands (unsightly bands that hang from our neck as we age).

Are you lids sagging and making it difficult to see?

Due to the effects of time, heredity, and environmental influences the upper eyelids can start sagging and become heavy.  As the lids progressively get heavier they can limit our ability to drive and conduct simple tasks of every day life.  I(n cases of functional impairment, a very straightforward and rather simple operation called an upper blepharoplasty can remedy the problem and lead to a much improved quality of life.

Upper eyelids may become sagging due to excess skin, drooping of the eyebrows, congenital or senile ptosis or a combination.  A thorough examination will determine the cause and treatment.

When upper eyelids become heavy enough, peripheral (side) vision may be impaired.  Improving one’s side vision does not help with reading or seeing letters on an eye chart but rather helps us appreciate objects to the side and above. Prior to surgery we commonly refer to an ophthalmologist for a proper visual fields test to determine the severity.  This test is required if an attempt is to be made to obtain insurance coverage of upper blepharoplasty surgery.

Upper eyelid treatment is usually performed in an outpatient surgery center or sometimes in the comfort of our office procedure room depending on the severity. Sedation is typically administered intravenously so that patients do not feel any discomfort during the procedure. The procedure typically takes about 45 minutes and is outpatient.

The recovery after an upper blepharoplasty is very easy and uncomplicated. There is minimal swelling and bruising and Tylenol is usually sufficient to alleviate minor postoperative pain.  Patients are asked to use cold compresses on their eyelids for the first 24-36 hours after surgery and to avoid heavy bending and lifting for one week. While complications can occur following any surgical procedure, when upper blepharoplasty is performed by an experienced surgeon the likelihood of a serious problem developing is low.

• Have you ever cancelled on a friend, date or colleague because you were worried about sweating through your clothes?
• Have you lost out on a promotion at work due to flop sweat?
• Have you tried every antiperspirant on the market with no luck?
• Can you not wear certain colors like grey because you are worried that it will show your super sweatiness?

If so, you are not alone. It is shown that 1 in 5 adults in this country are bothered excessive underarm sweat. For those who suffer from hyperhidrosis , a condition where the sweat glands overreact to stimuli such as nerves, hormones or exercise, it’s literally debilitating. In the past, your only option was to suffer in silence. But no more.

Well, then, isn’t it time to take control of your life and stop sweating and start living life?

We all sweat. Some of us sweat more than others, and more than we’d like to expose. The most dreaded area of exposed sweat for most of us is in the armpit area.  It can be embarrassing and humiliating. With treatments provided by both Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, excessive sweating in the armpits (and hands) can be a thing of the past!

Hyperhidrosis, the medical term for excessive sweating, can be treated and controlled with Botox, Xeomin, and/or Dysport injections. By injecting one of these medicines into the armpits, the secretion of sweat greatly subsides and last up to 6 months. Most patients will require approximately 50 units a side to obtain the best results and effectiveness from the treatment.

Botox is approved for treatment of excessive sweating under the arms and sometimes can be covered by your health insurance.  Take the self assessment survey at http://www.botoxseveresweating.com/UnderarmSweating/SelfAssessment.aspx#/

Blood thinners, such as Aspirin, Alleve, and Advil certainly put anyone at higher risk for bruising and bleeding. When opting to have  treatments done such as Botox,  Juvederm, Rhinoplasty or a Face lift, it is always best to avoid taking blood thinners at least a week in advance and two weeks after these procedures.

Sinecch is prepared from the natural herb, Arnica Montana, which grows in the Swiss Alps. Arnica has been used for hundreds of years by European doctors to reduce swelling and bruising after trauma and injuries. At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, we offer Arnica Montana or SinEcch as a homeopathic medicine to prevent the formation, and reduce the duration of bruising and swelling.

SinEcch is easy to take and very effective

Your packet will contain 12 conveniently-labeled capsules that will be taken over a four day period, which should be taken starting  the night before an injection such as Botox, Juvederm, Radiesse, or Sculptra or any surgery. The SinEcch preventative bruising packet is only $35.

TCA peels, Tricholoroacetic acid, can be used in varying strengths depending on each patient’s skin condition, with the most common being 20%. The TCA peel is great for surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes, and pigmentation problems. TCA can be used on the face, under eyes, as well as other areas of the body such as hands, forearms, and chest. The TCA peel removes the top most layers of skin on the face ridding it of dead and old skin leaving behind refreshed and rejuvenated skin. The TCA peel can produce considerable improvement in skin collagen and elastin, reducing facial wrinkles, scars, and discoloring. The TCA peel can:

• Smooth out fine facial wrinkles
• Reduce any lip creases, crow’s feet, and forehead lines
• Reduce of lesions or scarring
• Remove freckles, age spots, and any unwanted pigmentation
• Fix pimples, acne, black heads, and clogged pores
• Restore skin from years of sun exposure
• Lighten the skin

It is necessary to do some preparation for the TCA peel in order to help it penetrate deeper, giving longer lasting results. Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke will prescribe a Triluma cream to be used daily to prep your skin. The TCA peel, while it may only take a few minutes to apply, will have long lasting effects. After your treatment, it will be important to keep your skin hydrated for the first 4 days. Your skin will darken as it dries and will begin to peel after approximately 48 hours. It will take approximately one week for your skin to fully peel and during this time it is important to not pick or pull at the skin as it is peeling as this could cause scarring or other discoloration. You should avoid sun exposure during the process and wear sunscreen daily. If you need a recommendation for good, protective sunscreen we have many options that we sell at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group. After you are finished peeling, overtime your skin will continue to improve and show the great effects from the peel. The TCA peel can be repeated every 3-6 months for optimal results.

Xeomin has made its return and we are happy to announce that we are offering treatments again for wrinkle correction and prevention with this product that is comparable to Botox

What is Xeomin?  And why use Xeomin and not Botox or Dysport?  Xeomin is in the same class as Botox and Dysport- “Neurotoxins”.  Xeomin is a Clostridium botulinum type – A neurotoxin complex. Clostridium botulinum toxin type A is a bacterial toxin that prevents nerves from functioning normally (a neurotoxin).  It prevents nerves from releasing a chemical called acetylcholine, which is essential for the nerves to communicate with muscle cells.  This toxin therefore prevents muscles from receiving nerve stimulation.  This it is useful for treating conditions where excessive nerve stimulation to muscles is causing abnormal muscle functioning or spasms.  Xeomin is specifically indicated for medical treatments for adults with cervical dystonia to decrease the severity of abnormal head position and neck pain in both botulinum toxin-naïve and previously treated patients and for the treatment of adults with blepharospasm who were previously treated with onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox).

On the cosmetic side,  it is observed that it takes about one week for the full effects of Xeomin injections to be realized, and once this occurs, the results seem to last from 2-4 months.  Xeomin injections can treat frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet around the eyes.  The treatment itself is very quick and can be done during a lunch hour with no evidence that anything was done.

After treatment, it is advised that a patient not lay down flat or exercise for 2-4 hours after injection to avoid product migration.

Xeomin is best for treating or preventing the following:

• frown lines (otherwise known as the “11” inbetween the eyebrows)
• forehead lines
• crow’s feet (lines around the outer corners of the eyes)
• bunny lines (nose scrunching lines)
• corners of the mouth
• to balance brow positioning
• smokers lines
• to narrow a wide jawline and/or  square face
• a gummy smile
• teeth grinding
• wrinkled and dimpled chin
• excessive sweating (known as Hyperhidrosis)

The liquid face lift is a facial contouring procedure that involves lifting, plumping, filling, smoothing and re-contouring of the face through the use of injectable dermal fillers. As part of the overall procedure, these dermal fillers are often used in conjunction with each other and in addition to Botox or Dysport. The use of Botox or Dysport in addition to dermal fillers can make for better and more long lasting results.

A liquid face lift includes the dermal fillers. JUVEDERM^®, Radiesse^®, Restylane^®, Perlane^® and/or Sculptra^®. Together these fillers can gently lift the individual facial features, reduce wrinkles, creases, line or folds, restore natural facial contours, and give you a more rested and energetic look. While some patients may be looking to lift their entire face, the liquid face lift is also an option for someone who just wants to focus on a certain facial features. For example, under eye bags and dark circles can be masked by using liquid facelift techniques; eyes can be opened up and lids lifted; jowls can be lifted and diminished; natural shape can be restored to flattened cheeks or temple areas; corners of the mouth can be lifted; and bumps on the nose can be hidden. Each of these dermal fillers has unique attributes that work in their own special way to rejuvenate specific areas of the face and most are comprised of natural substances produced by the body, helping to promote new collagen.

The last of the fillers is Sculptra, which is generally used as a treatment for facial lipoatrophy, the loss of fat beneath the skin that sometimes causes sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow eyes. Unlike the other dermal fillers, Sculptra does not produce immediate results. It works by stimulating collagen production, so results appear gradually over a period of a few months. Three to five treatments are usually required, and results can last up to two years or more.

The greatest benefit of the liquid face lift? It can be done on your lunch break and with the help of a little cover up, you can go back to work with no one the wiser!
