An Oxygen facial is a new procedure typically done in a spa or salon in which highly concentrated streams of oxygen are applied to the skin to stimulate collagen production and blood flow for more youthful and wrinkle-free skin. An oxygen facial offers a temporary solution with short-term effects, making it an ideal treatment done 2-3 days before an event such as a wedding ceremony as the results won’t last more than 6 days. Oxygen facials are recommended to be done regularly as maintenance, especially for younger people (those in their 20s). As you age you may find stronger rejuvenation techniques more effective for your concerns.
Facial masculinization surgery refers to a set of procedures to alter facial features to make them look more masculine. This includes, but is not limited to, jaw and chin implants for a more angular face, facial hair transplant, and forehead reshaping. These procedures help transgender men to feel more perfectly matched with the gender identity they belong to (rather than the sex they’re assigned at birth). Surgeries to achieve a more masculine face could be done individually, and not everyone will need all of them. However, some surgeries, such as jaw and chin implants, could be done together during the same procedure.
LED Light therapy is a skin rejuvenation procedure in which varying wavelengths of Light Emitting Diode (LED) are applied to the skin to treat acne, wrinkles, dark spots, etc. LED light therapy is considered very safe as it doesn't contain UV rays and doesn’t cause burns. Usually, blue and red lights are used in LED light therapy, however, yellow and green lights may also be used. Each light penetrates a different depth which is more effective for a particular issue. Depending on the skin condition you want to address, a different number of treatments may be required, often about 10 weekly sessions. The results will last about 6 months to a year.
Microshading is a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure in which tiny dots of pigment is applied to the eyebrows to create a shadow or gradient appearance in order to fill sparse eyebrows and make them appear fuller and thicker. Compared to microblading, microshading works more effectively for those with sensitive or oily skin since the pigments penetrate deeper and are set better in this method. Microshading lasts up to 1 to 3 years, and you usually need touch-ups every 6 to 8 months.
Eyebrow tattoo is a permanent eyebrow procedure in which pigments or indelible ink is inserted under the skin to create the appearance of a natural eyebrow in order to reshape the brows and make them look thicker and fuller. In other words, it’s a tattoo in the shape of an eyebrow. Conventional eyebrow tattoos used to be more solid and obvious, however, eyebrow tattooing techniques and methods have evolved to create a more realistic and natural look. In this technique, tattoo ink penetrates deeper into the skin and is longer lasting compared to microblading.
Electrolysis hair removal is an FDA-approved hair removal procedure in which a fine probe is inserted into the hair follicles to destroy them and prevent them from growing new hair using shortwave radio frequencies, requiring multiple sessions, usually 8 to 12 monthly sessions with intervals of 6 to 8 weeks, for the best results. Compared to laser hair removal, electrolysis does not require maintenance sessions and once the treatment is finished, the effects are permanent.
Panniculectomy is a procedure similar to a tummy tuck that removes loose skin and fat hanging over the pubic area (pannus), often done for people who have undergone massive weight loss or developed such a condition after childbearing. The results are considered to be permanent and you can expect to enjoy a flat and smooth lower abdomen as long as you maintain a healthy weight. Patients undergoing a panniculectomy usually lose 2-3 pants sizes depending on how much excess skin they have. Scars are inevitable in this procedure and although they fade away to a great extent, they won’t disappear completely.
Belly Button Surgery is a procedure to reshape the belly button, typically for those with an ‘outie’ (bulging navel) who want to have an ‘innie’. The issue may be congenital or develops after a change in the navel shape after pregnancy or dramatic weight loss. The final result of the surgery is very natural and will remain permanent. However, it takes months for the swelling to vanish and the wounds to fully heal.
Umbilical Hernia Repair is a procedure to fix a common condition in babies in which part of the intestine bulges through the abdominal wall near the belly button. The procedure includes a 2-3 cm cut at the base of the belly button to put the lump back into the tummy and the skin in the right place. As many umbilical hernias at birth tend to heal on their own over time, the doctors usually recommend that you wait a few years before considering the surgery for a newborn. The procedure results are permanent and recurrent hernias are rare but not impossible. There’s a slight chance of the hernia returning months or years after the surgery.
Butt Implant Removal
Butt implant removal is a procedure to remove buttocks implants due to reasons such as developing complications or personal preferences. It is obvious that removing butt implants results in reversing the effects of the previous butt augmentation procedure. However, it may also come with some sagging as the stretched skin may not perfectly shrink to the natural butt shape and you may consider a butt lift to fix the saggy buttocks.
Butt reduction is a cosmetic procedure to reduce the size of the buttocks, enhancing shape and contour, usually by removing excess fat using the liposuction technique. Liposuction for butt reduction could be assisted by some other techniques such as laser, radiofrequency, and waterjet to heat and loosen the fat before removal, help with tightening the skin, and maximize the effectiveness. Butt reduction results are permanent as long as you maintain a healthy weight and avoid excessive weight gain leading to new fat accumulation.
Calf reduction is a cosmetic procedure to reduce the size and slim down the calves (lower legs) and could be done with different invasive and minimally invasive surgical procedures as well as non-surgical techniques. While surgical methods such as liposuction, selective neurectomy, and muscle resectioning provide permanent results, non-surgical procedures like Botox injection require regular treatments as the result won’t last more than 6 months. While it could vary depending on the case, liposuction is usually the most popular method which brings about immediate, significant, and long-lasting results through minimally invasive surgery.
Cellfina is a minimally-invasive FDA-approved procedure that improves cellulite (skin dimpling) by addressing the root cause of the condition. It uses a subincision technique to cut and release the fibrous bands that pull the skin down. Unlike some other cellulite treatments, Cellfina is intended to be a one-time procedure. It may take about 1 month for the swelling to subside completely and for the final result to show up. The result is usually a noticeable improvement in cellulite appearance which can last up to 3 years.
Cellulaze is a non-surgical FDA-approved procedure that treats cellulite (skin dimpling) by addressing its root cause. It uses a laser to cut the fibrous bands that pull the skin down, liquefy excess fat, and boost collagen production. Cellulaze is a one-time procedure and you won’t require several treatment sessions for one area. Cellulaze results usually last for a year. However, you may maintain the result for a longer time if you follow a healthy diet and exercise.
High-intensity focused ultrasound is a new FDA-approved skin rejuvenation procedure that uses ultrasound energy to promote collagen production in the skin, used to tighten the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve sun damage, etc. You can see improvements after only one session, however, 2-6 treatment sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart, can bring about the best results. The results can last up to three years. You can have touch-up sessions annually to maintain the desired effects.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a procedure that involves exposing the whole body or a part of the body to extremely low temperatures for 2-5 minutes for medical or cosmetic purposes, such as treating warts, skin tags, and dark spots. Cryotherapy can make use of different substances including liquid nitrogen, liquid nitrous oxide, and argon gas. The doctor may use external or internal methods to address your issue depending on its location. The freezing substance will be applied through a spray or a cotton swab if the tissue is external and located on your skin. However, if you want to treat an internal issue, a small cut is required for inserting a probe.
Acoustic wave therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood circulation and natural healing for medical or cosmetic purposes, including the treatment of acne, dry skin, cellulite, stretch marks, and varicose. The number of treatment sessions you need, the results' durability, the maintenance treatments, and even the intervals vary depending on the type of concern you want to address and how severe it is. But you can expect to undergo an average of 6 sessions for most issues.
Laser lipolysis is a non-surgical fat removal procedure that uses a laser to remove excess stubborn fat by heating and breaking down fat cells. Patients often need to undergo only one treatment session. The initial results usually appear 6 weeks after the procedure while it takes about 3 months for the final result to show up. The results of laser lipolysis are long-lasting provided that you maintain a healthy weight.
Gastric sleeve surgery is a weight-loss procedure in which the majority of the stomach is removed to make it smaller and hold less food. A gastric sleeve is a permanent procedure that cannot be reversed. It helps patients lose around 60 percent of their excess weight on average and maintain the results for long provided that they keep following a healthy lifestyle including a balanced diet and regular exercise.
A gastric bypass is a weight-loss procedure in which the digestive system (stomach and intestine) is manipulated in a way to reduce both food intake and absorption, leading to massive weight loss in obese patients (70% of excess weight on average). The result could be long-term if the patient keeps following a healthy lifestyle. Compared to a gastric sleeve, a gastric bypass is less invasive and could be reversed through an operation if the patients experience complications.
