Westwood Medical Aesthetics

Body sculpting is the process of destroying fat cells with extreme temperatures, sonic vibrations, or acid injections to help the body flush them out of pesky areas. Most treatments can be done through non-invasive procedures that come with little to no side effects. Sometimes, no matter how much one diets or exercises, certain parts of the body are impossible to target and optimal results are too hard to attain. Aesthetic body treatments can be highly effective and are less invasive alternatives to plastic surgery procedures like liposuction and tummy tucks.

SKIN PEN® MICRONEEDLING SkinPen® creates micro-channels (microscopic holes) at a rate of 1600 per second. These wounds stimulate your skin, kicking its healing process into high gear. Best of all, SkinPen® doesn’t rely on heat or chemicals, so the results are natural and safe for all skin tones and types. ​PLASMA PEN® by Louise Walsh International The PlasmaPen® is a revolutionary new concept in non-invasive skin tightening using plasma energy. The Plasma Pen® uses oxygen and nitrogen to produce a plasma energy arc. The plasma arc never touches the skin, and is held 1mm away to create micro-abrasions on the epidermal layer, while heating and disrupting the deeper dermis. This transmission of energy from the probe on the tip of the pen to the skin’s epidermal layer creates an immediate tightening of the skin. The effect of the plasma energy on the skin stimulates your bodies healing process, which in turn multiplies your fibroblast cells to produce collagen in abundance for tighter, more rejuvenated skin. The Plasma Pen® can be used for Upper non surgical blepharoplasty, Lower surgical blepharoplasty, Crows feet, Nose lift, Brow lift, “Smokers” lines, Nasolabial folds, Jowling, Neck lift, Scar revision, Cherry angioma removal, Skin tag removal, Lip lift and Forehead lines. PRP INJECTIONS PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood, which will run through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are injected directly into the targeted area. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative and rejuvenating cells your body produces. SCULPTRA® Sculptra® is a biostimulator that is injected into the deep layer of the skin where collagen naturally exists and is made.

A full treatment of Sculptra® Aesthetic (an average of three injection sessions over a few months) can last up to two years.

NEUROTOXINS Neurotoxins are injectable solutions (Botox®/DySport®/Xeomin®) that temporarily block nerve receptors in the muscle, preventing lines and wrinkles from forming. A lip flip is a quick, in-office cosmetic procedure that lasts about 10 to 20 minutes that involves the injection of Botox® into your Cupid’s bow, which is the middle of your upper lip, and into the corners of your mouth. The injection temporarily relaxes the muscles around your lip which causes the part of your upper lip that’s inside your mouth to “flip” upward and outward, giving your lip a fuller appearance. BRO-TOX is Injections for men can subtly diminish lines around the eyes, across the forehead, and between the brows without sacrificing the rugged, masculine look many male patients wish to preserve. Baby Botox® is spread across the face in smaller amounts and may be best suited for people who want to get a head start on anti-aging measures or those who have lighter lines.

A full treatment of Sculptra® Aesthetic (an average of three injection sessions over a few months) can last up to two years. ​KYBELLA® The active ingredient in KYBELLA® a is synthetic deoxycholic acid. 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, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal. ​SCLEROTHERAPY Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure administered by your healthcare provider to treat uncomplicated spider veins and uncomplicated reticular veins. The treatment involves the injection of a solution into affected veins. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein and area of focus. The injected solution causes the vein to scar, which forces blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades. After treatment, veins tend to fade within a few weeks. It may take a month or more to see full results. In some cases, several treatments may be needed.

A PDO thread lift procedure is a minimally invasive alternative to facelift surgery. Smooth threads can be placed to build collagen (ie: acne scarring), while lifting threads tighten your skin by inserting medical-grade thread material into your face and then “pulling” your skin up by tightening the thread. Cellular renewal – through collagen stimulation – improves skin texture, fine lines, and elasticity. WHAT IS PDO THREAD LIFT AND HOW DOES IT WORK? The PDO thread lift procedure involves the implantation of fine, absorbable polydioxanone threads, similar to those which are used in medical suturing, into the subcutaneous layer of the skin using tiny needles. After the threads are inserted, you will notice an immediate lift, however, your body continues building natural collagen around their placement. Over time, the threads dissolve and your natural collagen continues building where they were placed. PDO threads can treat various areas of the face including the cheeks, brow, jawline, and neck. HOW LONG DOES A PDO THREAD LIFT PROCEDURE TAKE? The length of your treatment will depend on the area being targeted but typically varies from 30-60 minutes. This time includes various forms of numbing for your utmost comfort. DOES A PDO THREAD LIFT HURT? The procedure itself is minimally invasive and does cause micro-injuries to layers within the skin. Before beginning, a topical numbing cream is applied. Most patients remain completely comfortable during the thread insertion, after numbing HOW WILL I LOOK AND FEEL AFTER THE TREATMENT? You may experience minimal swelling and bruising for the first few days after your treatment and should avoid strenuous activity for 2-3 days. Otherwise, there is no significant downtime and you can get back to your usual routine immediately. WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS AFTER TREATMENT? The results of a PDO thread lift are both immediate and progressive, as the ultimate result depends on your body producing natural collagen around the thread. The lifting effect of PDO therapy reaches a peak at around 6 months post-treatment, after which time new collagen and elastin will have formed around the threads to tighten the skin and make the area look firmer, smoother and more youthful.

Ombre / Powdered Brows Ombré shading is the newest trend in eyebrow semi-permanent makeup and one of the most popular techniques on the market. A soft background color is added to the brow that heals looking subtle and powdery. This technique is suitable for nearly every client, and can be customized to a bolder or softer look. Nano Brows Nano brows are created with a digital permanent makeup device and one single needle. You'll get more effective results with a Nano needle because the procedure involves less trauma to the skin than Microblading. The perfect crisp hair strokes are created to achieve a very natural look. Combination Brows This technique is performed by making the hair like strokes with some shading for more density combined, keeping it soft for every day so you can still add some makeup for a more dramatic look. Classic Eyeliner The customizable solid liner look. This can be just a solid line above the lash line or even extended out into a subtle wing. Lash Line Enhancement This service leaves you with a soft, subtle line through the lashes on the lash line only, to create the illusion of a fuller lash line. Permanent Lip Color / Lip Blush A permanent lip color technique adds a soft wash of color over the entire lip, defining the border of the mouth and gently fading towards the inner edges of the lips. ”Frozen Lips” A permanent lip color style that takes the ‘lip blush’ look to another level.
