⚡ One Treatment for a Snatched Jawline and Contoured Neck!⚡

This 57-year-old patient consulted with several plastic surgeons in La Jolla and Carmel Valley because she was unhappy with saggy skin on her neck. She was told that the only way to address her concerns about skin laxity and fullness in the chin and neck area was with a full face and neck lift at a price tag of $150k. Can you believe that?

Given the high cost and no desire to have surgery, she did extensive research on options. After reviewing my credentials and my photo results, I am honored that she chose me to help her.

Listening to her concerns and aesthetic goals, I reassured my patient that I had another option and she didn’t need to worry about the costs and risks of surgery.🔪 It is essential for patients to know that unless I can absolutely achieve their aesthetic goals, I will recommend plastic surgery.

For this patient, I recommended my procedure called with . This combination treatment is one of my favorites because the results are consistently reliable and impressive!

After just ONE treatment, my patient was absolutely thrilled with her results! She was amazed by the tightening, lifting, and contouring under her chin and neck area. I also achieved a much more defined, snatched jawline, which was one of her main goals. 👍👍

The of this procedure include immediate, visible results that continue to improve for 6 months or longer. The treatment takes only 45 minutes to yield life-changing results and is performed with just a local injection of lidocaine, allowing patients to remain awake during the procedure and drive themselves home.

Do you have tattoo regrets? 😧

can be beautiful works of art, but sometimes they turn out differently than you envisioned, or you outgrow them. Every day, I see patients who regret their tattoos.

✨ MY TATTOO TREATMENT

Fortunately, I have over 9 different state-of-the-art lasers ⚡ to treat every color of the rainbow with precision. These lasers feature the most advanced cutting-edge technology, including the and lasers. Unique to my tattoo treatments, I also use the Lumenis AcuPulse laser, which helps prevent blistering and promotes a safer, quicker, and easier recovery.

My goal is always to achieve the best results with the fewest number of treatments by being aggressive, yet as safe as possible. Additionally, I customize a treatment plan for each patient’s unique tattoo. Multiple treatments are required, with treatments every 4-8 weeks to achieve optimal results.

Number of treatments depends on these factors:

> Size of the tattoo
> Tattoo location
> Colors of the ink
> Age of the tattoo
> Ink type
> Patient’s skin type

This patient was treated 8 times, achieving complete clearance of her tattoo with no “ghost effect” and no scarring. She is absolutely thrilled with the results. Her only regret was not seeing me sooner.

Remembering the pain of getting the tattoo, patients always ask me if removing the tattoo is going to be just as painful. 😬 The good news is that the treatment is painless because I numb the area with lidocaine before your treatment begins.

✨ EXPERIENCE MATTERS

When undergoing any laser procedure, because your outcome directly correlates with the physician performing the procedure. Lasers are powerful tools, but just tools! The physician’s skills and experience are a key determinant of a successful outcome.

My very first tattoo removal patient was in 2000, during my first year of dermatology residency. Over the past 25 years, I’ve successfully treated tens of thousands of tattoos with outstanding outcomes.

✨ Life-Changing Transformation ✨

I had the privilege of treating a 52-year-old patient who has lived his entire life with a port-wine stain on his left forehead, temple, and upper eyelid. Since childhood, this birthmark has been a profound source of emotional distress and self-consciousness for him, as he endured years of unwanted stares from others.

With over 25 years of experience treating birthmarks, I was thrilled to meet this patient because I knew I could significantly improve the appearance of his birthmark and make a meaningful difference in his life.

Birthmarks are benign skin irregularities that can appear anywhere on the body. Achieving complete removal often requires multiple laser sessions, and this case was no exception.

Using the latest technology, I treated his birthmark seven times using the , which is the strongest, safest, and fastest pulsed dye laser available.💥 My practice is proud to be among the select few that offer this state-of-the-art technology!

My patient expressed that the transformation of his face is “life-changing” and he is overwhelmed with the results. Treating birthmarks is very gratifying. It certainly makes for a great day when I can boost a patient’s self-esteem and confidence through the use of lasers👍👍

This 65-year-old patient came to see me seeking ONLY ONE treatment session that would reduce sun damage and improve the texture of her skin. While she would be a great candidate for my Take10 procedure, she preferred a treatment with less downtime, but still wanted noticeable results.

💥 To achieve the best results for this patient and accommodate her treatment preferences, I chose to perform our proprietary treatment called . Take5 is a non-ablative combination laser treatment with approximately 3-5 days of social downtime, addressing multiple skin concerns in one treatment session, and provides patients with healthier, rejuvenated skin. Results are natural-looking yet still impactful. Take5 is among my favorite procedures because it’s remarkably versatile and can be performed on many areas of the body. 💥

Before starting this procedure, a topical numbing agent is applied to the treatment area for one hour. However, if a patient is sensitive or anxious, we offer the system that allows the patient to breathe “laughing gas”, which can help significantly! After using the ProNox system, patients are still able to drive themselves home after the treatment.

The first laser used was the , which diminishes broken capillaries, redness, and vascular lesions. Next, I proceeded with the Q-switched , which is the gold standard for treating individual brown spots. Finally, I used the , which improves skin texture, fine lines, pigmentation, removes pre-cancer spots, and provides skin homogeneity. ⚡⚡⚡

My patient is thrilled with her healthier and revitalized skin. Her overall skin texture and tone are more even, and her complexion now radiates with a more youthful glow.

With access to over 70 lasers and devices, I customize each treatment plan to address various skin concerns and help my patients achieve their aesthetic goals. Now that summer is over, this is the perfect time to reverse the effects of sun-damaged skin before it may develop into .

✨ Life-Changing Rhinophyma Transformation ✨

This 57-year-old gentleman had been silently suffering for over 20 years with progressive changes to the shape, size, and color of his nose due to a disfiguring condition known as .

Rhinophyma is an advanced form of that can significantly affect a person’s appearance and profoundly impact their self-esteem. In some cases, it can even lead to breathing problems, as thickened skin may cause the nostrils to collapse under its weight. While rhinophyma can affect both men and women, it is more commonly seen in men.

With over 25 years of experience treating this condition, I utilized my expertise to methodically and precisely eliminate the visible signs of rhinophyma using the Lumenis Ultrapulse and pulsed dye laser. The transformation of my patient’s nose after just ONE treatment session is truly remarkable! 🙌

My patient expressed that I changed his life forever, which made my day. His breathing is completely restored, and he no longer suffers from social anxiety related to the appearance of his nose.

There are only a few specialists worldwide with the expertise to perform this procedure, and I consider myself very fortunate to help patients who travel from around the world to San Diego for my life-changing treatment. 🌍✈️

Like many other individuals, this 54-year-old patient searched for a way to reverse the signs of aging without resorting to surgery. She preferred to avoid the incisions, scars, lengthy recovery time, general anesthesia, and the risks associated with a facelift. Her greatest fear was that the results from surgery would make her look pulled and overdone.

I suggested that this lovely patient have my proprietary procedure called . Tailoring a treatment plan to fit her aesthetic goals, I utilized a combination of lasers to revitalize her skin and target her specific concerns.

After just Take10 laser resurfacing procedure, my patient is ecstatic with her radiant complexion and younger appearance. Her friends and family think her life-changing results make her look a decade younger. How many years younger do you think this patient looks?

Notice her overall tighter and smoother skin with a dramatic reduction in her deep lines and wrinkles around her mouth, cheeks, and eyes. I was also able to shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip, resulting in a very natural, yet striking lip lift! Her skin tone and texture have significantly improved and now look much healthier.

Additional benefits from this procedure are that I can treat precancerous lesions before they develop into skin cancer, and her skin will continue to build new collagen and elastic tissue for another year, further enhancing her results. These remarkable changes in my patient’s skin could never be accomplished with a facelift.

⚠️ I strongly advise against getting this treatment done at a Med Spa. This treatment should only be performed by a highly trained and experienced Board Certified Dermatologist. Experience matters when seeking a safe and effective outcome.

Unfortunately, many patients seek my help to correct procedures performed by unqualified personnel. Fortunately, I can help them, but please don’t let this happen to you! 👎
