KYBELLA®

KYBELLA® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that safely and effectively reduces excess fat under the chin, leaving a smooth and contoured appearance.

Benefits

  • FDA approved
  • No anesthesia required
  • Minimally invasive
  • Quick recovery time
  • Fast and effective

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for KYBELLA® are non-smokers who are in good health and wish to remove excess fat from under the chin.

How It Works

When KYBELLA® is injected into your skin, it destroys the fat cells in the targeted area. The substance injected is a formulation of deoxycholic acid, which breaks down and absorbs fat. The exact locations and number of injections will be determined during your personal consultation. However, most patients will undergo two to four treatments spaced one month apart.

Recovery and Results

After the KYBELLA® treatment, patients may experience varying degrees of swelling, along with slight discomfort, redness, and possible bruising. All of these side effects should dissipate quickly.

Because KYBELLA® eliminates and destroys the fat cells, patients will not have to undergo treatment again as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained. Patients will experience a smoother, more contoured facial appearance after their KYBELLA® treatment.

The Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa was founded in 1997 in Houston, Texas. Dr. Richard LeCOney and his wife Dana have developed comprehensive personal anti-aging, wellness, hormone, and skincare programs for both men and women.

Our motto is: “Feel as good as you look, and look as good as you feel.”

We believe that there is simply no reason for you to look or feel your age. A highly trained provider will meet with you and discuss the problem areas and develop a tailored treatment plan that suits your specific needs.

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting® Elite treatments are in good general health and at or near their ideal weight. CoolSculpting® Elite is not a weight loss solution; it is designed to help reduce residual fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.

CoolSculpting® Elite uses a process called cryolipolysis to help reduce stubborn fat bulges by up to 25 percent. A protective gel pad will be applied to the treatment site to protect your skin. CoolSculpting® Elite is FDA cleared to reduce fat in nine different areas of the body, including the following:

  • Under the chin and jawline
  • Upper arms
  • Abdomen
  • Bra fat
  • Back fat
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Flanks
  • Banana roll (underneath the buttocks)

The CoolSculpting® Elite machine uses suction to draw the targeted bulge up between the applicator paddles. The device then uses controlled cooling technology to freeze fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissues. The cold temperatures cause the fat cells to crystallize, rupturing the cell wall. Your body then processes and eliminates the dead fat cells as waste.

Recovery and Results

You may experience some slight swelling or soreness in the treated area, but these side effects should resolve within a week or two. Patients can return to their regular activities immediately after their treatment.

Some patients may see initial results a few days after their treatment, but the final outcome is typically noticed after four to six weeks as frozen fat cells are eliminated from the body. Patients require a series of treatments to achieve their desired aesthetic.

Ideal candidates for SkinPen® Microneedling with PRP are in good general health and are looking for a minimally invasive treatment to address the following aesthetic concerns:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Sun damage

SkinPen® Microneedling

SkinPen® uses thin needles to create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the body’s healing response. The body begins to produce more collagen over time, providing smoother, firmer, more youthful skin. A topical numbing cream may be applied before your treatment for your comfort.

-Rich Plasma

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentration of platelets in the blood that are crucial to wound healing. When used for skin rejuvenation, PRP releases growth factors into the skin to expedite the body’s own repair process and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. With a simple, quick, and advantageous process, your PRP professional is able to derive a high concentration of biological nutrient-rich cells and create autologous platelet-rich plasma. Since the autologous platelet-rich plasma is processed from the patient’s own blood, there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection.

When adding PRP to your microneedling treatment, your blood will be drawn and used to derive the platelet-rich plasma for application with the SkinPen®.

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience some minor redness and swelling for one to three days after treatment. Some may experience You will be provided with aftercare instructions that should be followed carefully to avoid complications and achieve the best results possible.

You may see some improvement after your skin heals. However, microneedling with PRP relies on the body’s healing ability, so your skin will continue to improve over the next three to four weeks. A series of treatments may be recommended, depending on the cognition being treated.

The skin will be red and flushed, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn, for 12 hours to 3 days. You may also experience mild swelling, tightness, and/or mild peeling. Side effects are temporary and typically resolve within 3 days. Total healing time depends on the depth of the treatment, skin type, and skin condition, and some patients may heal completely in 24 hours.

Patients typically notice an immediate glow, but visible improvement will take about 2-4 weeks and can continue for up to 6 months.

A series of 4-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is ideal for optimal results. Some conditions like deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks, and acne scars may require 6-8 treatments.

PhotoFacial IPL

Most people want clear, smooth skin, but it can be difficult to achieve, even with a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine. IPL (intense pulsed light) photofacial uses a bright light to help reduce the appearance of signs of aging, such as brown spots, melasma, broken capillaries, wrinkles, and other cosmetic imperfections.

Benefits

  • – Little to no downtime
  • – Results can be long lasting
  • – Can be performed on virtually any part of the body

The best candidates for IPL Photofacial are non-smokers in good general health who wish to reduce the appearance of the following aesthetic concerns:

  • Rosacea
  • Sun spots
  • Wrinkles
  • Uneven texture
  • Acne scarring
  • Enlarged pores
  • Melasma
  • Age spots
  • Spider veins
  • Stretch marks

How It Works

IPL therapy uses a bright, intense light to heat up the dermis (deeper layer of the skin), stimulating the production of more collagen. Collagen is the protein your body uses to give the skin its structure. The heat also destroys pigment cells, such as melanin, to help remedy uneven pigmentation. During treatment, you may feel mild discomfort, much like a rubber band snapping. The number of sessions required will depend on the size of the treatment site and the condition being addressed. Most patients undergo two to six sessions spaced four weeks apart.

IPL photofacial can also be combined with treatments like laser skin resurfacing or a chemical peel for optimal results.

Recovery and Results

Immediately following your treatment, you may experience some redness and discomfort similar to a sunburn. These side effects should resolve in 24 to 48 hours. Aftercare instructions should be followed carefully to help ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications. Pigmented lesions may appear darker at first and then peel off as your skin heals.

IPL photofacial can provide long-lasting improvement, but it cannot stop the natural aging process. A comprehensive skincare routine and proper sun protection can help prolong your results. Some patients may also decide to undergo maintenance treatments. A personalized treatment and maintenance plan can be discussed during your consultation appointment.

Lip Fillers

Lips that lack volume can affect your self-image, whether they have always been thin or have lost volume over time. Injectable fillers can help to plump up the lips without surgery or extended downtime. Fillers are most often composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance created by your body that helps retain moisture in the skin and other tissues.

Benefits

  • No surgery or extended downtime
  • Natural-looking results
