Burn Scar Treatment: Put the Past Behind You

Facial scars of any kind can be disfiguring. But when the scar is a result of a traumatic burn injury, it can be especially upsetting. Facial burn scars can not only be a physical reminder of a painful event, but they can also form in ways that limit your facial functions, such as your ability to smile, chew, drink or open and close your eyes.

Skin burns can be a result of chemicals, the sun, radiation and electricity. Burns cause skin cells to die. When the skin is damaged, the body naturally tries to heal itself by producing a protein called collagen. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen in a uniform or natural-looking pattern. As the skin heals, it is common to see areas of thickness and discoloration. This is how scars form. … Continue reading

Sagging Brows Getting You Down?

Forehead and Brow Lift Beverly Hills, CA

One of the most frustrating (and devastating) effects of aging is sagging skin. This occurs when the skin loses collagen and elasticity and is more easily defeated by gravity over time. To make matters worse, sagging skin on the face is often the most significant and of course most noticed. While many people complain about their sagging cheeks and bulging jaw line, the effects of sagging skin can also be found further up in the face. In fact, when the forehead and brow skin droops, it can cause a host of unwanted flaws around the eyes. This can begin in the 30s and 40s for many men and women. … Continue reading

Woman Receiving Botox Injections Beverly Hills CA

When it comes to the aging face, there are some trending areas of wrinkles and fine lines that we want to erase.

Reasons to Choose NeoGraft For Your Hair Transplant

Hair Transplant Beverly Hills CA

When it comes to modern hair restoration methods, NeoGraft® tops the list. NeoGraft is the first FDA approved hair implantation system to use follicular unit harvesting (FUE). Unlike past “strip method” transplants (FUT), the automated FUE technique of NeoGraft harvests follicular units (groups of 1 to 4 hairs each) from the donor area of the head one by one. The healthy grafts remain fully intact and are then implanted in the recipient area of the scalp using an air-pressure/suction system. NeoGraft is the only “no touch” hair restoration system on the market. Most importantly, it eliminates the need for a scalpel and stiches so that patients are left with a confident and natural-looking head of hair instead of unsightly linear scarring in the back of the scalp.

Fat is rarely mentioned in a positive way, especially when talking about one’s appearance. We all want to get rid of it and reduce it as much as possible. However, when it comes to the aging face, adding fat can be ideal. In fact, there are ways to take away fat from unwanted areas of your body and transfer it to hallowed or sagging areas within your face to create a youthful, vibrant and more attractive appearance.
