EmFace: Facelift Without Scalpels or Needles

Dr. Kabiri — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 22:42:40 +0000

Technology may have finally found a modern-day fountain of youth, and it doesn’t require surgery or downtime. We’re talking about the groundbreaking Emface, a non-invasive treatment that delivers unparalleled toning, lifting, and tightening for a fresh, younger look.

You’ve heard of neuromodulators like Botox, dermal fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane, and collagen boosters like Bellafill. But perhaps you’ve also dreamed of getting the same outstanding results without needles, toxins, or chemicals.

Emface stands out from most facial rejuvenation therapies because it uses radiofrequency and electromagnetic energy to:

- Tone skin

- Contract facial muscles

- Restore facial contours

- Reduce wrinkles

Let’s dive deep and discover everything about this facelifting wonder that can remove years from your appearance in only 20 minutes.

What Is Emface? How Does It Work?

Emface is a non-invasive device that simultaneously tightens, tones, and elevates facial tissues and features. It uses radiofrequency and electromagnetic energy to diminish wrinkles, elevate sagging skin, boost collagen production, and improve symmetry by contracting and toning targeted muscles.

High-intensity focused electromagnetic energy sends rapid pulses into target areas, stimulating muscles to contract at a higher intensity than usual. This treatment increases the density and quality of muscle structure.

When used on the face, the hands-free patches send a combination of synchronized radiofrequency and HIFEM to contract muscles and remodel your skin,heating the dermis and increasing collagen andelastin fibers.

The Combination Works Like Magic

While the radiofrequency technology targets and tightens the skin, HIFEM focuses on the muscles, restoring support for your facial tissues to create the desired lifting effect.

Turn Back a Decade in Half an Hour

Did you know that each decadeyou liveafter30,youlose an average of 3 to 8% muscle mass?It’s down to two things – a progressive decrease in collagen production and increased laxity that lead to wrinkles and sagging skin.

Emface can restore your youthful glow by turning back the decades in only 20 to 30 minutes, with no downtime. With muscle stimulation and a boost in collagen production, you get newly defined contours and tightened skin, helping you look years younger. You’ll experience results after the first session, but we recommend three to four treatments to deliver:

- 37% fewer wrinkles

- 30% more muscle tone

- 23% more lift

- 26% collagen increase

How Is Emface Different From Other Rejuvenating Treatments?
With so many aesthetic procedures promising to turn back years, it can be tricky to decide which one suits your needs and goals. Emface breaks the mold to achieve a younger look without invasive surgery or foreign substances.

If injections, incisions, and injuries are not your cup of tea, Emface may be your go-to option for a facelift. The treatment applies a comfortable heat during your treatment, like a face massage, but never a burning sensation or discomfort.

Efficiency

Instead of temporarily freezing muscle movement, or stimulating collagen production, like some dermal fillers, Emface is a two-in-one procedure. It simultaneously targets facial muscles and skin, toning and tightening while boosting your face’s elastin and collagen fibers. If this convenience fits into your anti-aging goals and your busy lifestyle, it’s worth considering.

Compatibility

If you’re not willing to say goodbye to Botox or fillers just yet, you don’t have to give them up. This treatment pairs well with others. For best results, discuss your objectives and treatment history with Dr. Kabiri during your consultation.

Is Emface for Everybody?
If you’re looking for an effective, non-invasive, and painless process to look your best, Emface can be an optimal solution.

However, there are a few contraindications to receiving Emface treatment, including:

- Piercing, tattoos, or severe acne breakouts in treatment areas

- Metal plates

- Facial implants

- Recent sunburn

Are You Ready to Look and Feel Your Best?

If you think you can benefit from this cutting-edge treatment, Dr. Kabiri can help. She’s proud tooffer a selection of premiumaesthetic therapies, including the groundbreaking Emface, to ensure you feel and look your best at any age.

We can provide Emface sessions, precise Botox and filler injections, and other aesthetic enhancements to address your cosmetic concerns and exceed your expectations. Schedule a consultation today and discover the magic of Emface – your facelift without scalpels or needles!

The Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Healing Process

Dr. Kabiri — Fri, 19 May 2023 20:30:17 +0000

As with many aesthetic medical procedures, surgical or non-surgical, there is a natural healing process your body implements to heal any controlled wounds incurred during the treatment. The same is true with fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing, which affects different skin types differently. As a result, you may experience redness, swelling, itching, or stinging in the days following the therapy.

During your fractional CO2 laser recovery, your body’s biological processes will help your skin recover. This post will provide information to help you prepare for your laser skin resurfacing recovery with minimal discomfort and downtime. Let’s start with learning more about the procedure.

What is Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing helps reduce facial wrinkles, blemishes, and scars. The more advanced laser technologies give your clinician more control in laser resurfacing, permitting extreme precision, especially in delicate areas.

What Laser Skin Resurfacing Treats:

Wrinkles or fine lines around or under your eyes, mouth, or forehead
Acne scars
Non-responsive skin after facelift surgery
Sun-damaged skin
Yellow or gray skin tones
Aging skin
Liver spots
Birthmarks
Warts
Enlarged oil glands on your nose

How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

It’s all about using beams of light. Dr. Kabiri uses the laser to send short, concentrated, pulsating beams at targeted skin. This light removes dull and damaged skin, one layer at a time.

Laser skin resurfacing’s targeted approach means fewer problems with hypopigmentation, or a lightening of the skin, for procedures like laser scar removal.

The laser beam Dr. Kabiri employs for laser resurfacing removes the outer skin layer (epidermis) and simultaneously heats the underlying skin (dermis). This action works to stimulate the growth of new collagen fibers. As the treated area heals, the new skin is both smoother and firmer.

How Does Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

Dr. Kabiri may initiate a series of skin treatments for laser skin resurfacing preparation for optimal outcomes. Often these treatments begin six weeks or longer before your laser skin resurfacing. These treatments are tailored to your skin type to minimize complications and maximize skin beauty.

Cosmetic laser resurfacing is typically an outpatient procedure that takes thirty minutes to two hours, depending on the areas treated.

Managing Your Discomfort

Laser skin resurfacing can be painful. This discomfort is why Dr. Kabiri may apply local anesthetics. She may also give you a sedative to help you relax. Afterward, she will provide pain medications to ensure a comfortable recovery.

In preparation, we will cleanse your face thoroughly and give you eye protection. For years doctors have used CO2 lasers to treat various skin ailments. A newer generation of CO2 lasers has the power to deliver ultra (short) pulsed light energy. This laser precisely removes thin layers of skin with minimal damage to adjacent tissues.

After Treatment

After laser skin resurfacing, Dr. Kabiri applies a specialized dressing to protect the treated area. In addition, topical treatments may be necessary to promote healing.

What to Expect During Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery

Skin acts differently from patient to patient after laser skin resurfacing. But it will commonly feel like a mild sunburn. After that, you’ll have some redness and swelling. You may also experience itching or stinging a few days after the procedure.

Depending on the extent of your treatment, it may feel like a significant sunburn. The skin may even blister. In addition, yellow liquid may seep to form a crust. Do not scratch or pick at these crusts to minimize scarring. Typically, your skin will dry and peel about a week after treatment.

Follow These Steps During Recovery

Clean the treated areas up to five times daily with a diluted vinegar or saline solution as Dr. Kabiri directs.
Apply protective skin care treatments Dr. Kabiri recommends to help your skin heal.
After recovery, you’ll need to use a medical-grade sunscreen, particularly one formulated for sensitive facial skin. Dr. Kabiri will help you select the best sunscreen to protect your treated areas.
Use plenty of moisturizer on your new skin daily.
You can expect the treated area to peel. After that, the new, rejuvenated skin will be pink but gradually lighten over two to three months. It may take up to a year for the pinkness to go away. It is essential to protect your skin during this time of healing. Redness tends to last longer in redheads and blondes.
You may resume the application of Retin-A and glycolic acid products six weeks after laser skin resurfacing or as directed by Dr. Kabiri.

Complications of Laser Skin Resurfacing

Acne flares—Dr. Kabiri will recommend a treatment regimen.
Bacterial infection—Dr. Kabiri may recommend taking an antibiotic before the procedure and afterward.
Cold sore reactivation—This is a common occurrence if you have laser resurfacing around the mouth. Tell Dr. Kabiri about your history of cold sores (herpes). You can prevent their reactivation by taking antiviral medication before and after the procedure.
Hyperpigmentation—The treated area may become darker. Dr. Kabiri may recommend a bleaching solution.
Milia—These tiny white bumps may appear during recovery. Gentle cleansing with a washcloth can remove them.
Prolonged redness—For some patients, redness takes longer to subside.
Scarring—Rare but possible. Dr. Kabiri will advise you should this effect occur.
Swelling—Dr. Kabiri may prescribe oral steroids to manage swelling for laser skin resurfacing around your eyes.

Camouflage the Pink or Red Skin

Once your treated site has healed, you can apply makeup to tone down the color. For example, try green-based makeup to neutralize the redness. Also, be sure to opt for oil-free makeup.

How Long Does It Take to Heal After Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Generally, the aftermath of the treatment will run as follows:

Days 1 – 2. Expect a burning sensation in the treated area, and your face will swell. This sensation is normal and should subside within 24-48 hours.
Days 2 – 4. Over the next few days, your face will start to feel tight. A yellowish serous fluid could seep from the treated areas and crust. This crusting is a good indicator that fresh skin is growing underneath.
Days 4 – 6. Over this period, it’s not unusual for your face to start feeling a little itchy. However, you must avoid the temptation to scratch as this could increase the risk of scarring. For advice on how to prevent itching from becoming an issue, contact our team for specialist guidance.
Day 10. After approximately ten days, your skin will heal and be free of crusted areas. It will remain pink for a bit longer but settle progressively over the following weeks.

More Tips for an Easier Recovery

Elevate your head while you rest and sleep
Use an ice pack or compress for the first day or two to ease discomfort and swelling
Stop smoking. It complicates the healing process.

Minimize Discomfort During the Laser Skin Resurfacing Healing Process

Here are some tips to maximize healing and minimize discomfort.

Immediately after your treatment, your skin will be red and sensitive, like a sunburn. Redness, itching, swelling, or stinging may last a few days. Depending on the treatment, the skin may appear raw, ooze a yellow liquid, and blister. Don’t scratch or pick at crusty skin, which can cause scarring or infection.
Your skin will dry and peel five to seven days after laser resurfacing. Your rejuvenated skin will appear pink at first, then lighten up over the next two to three months.
Wash the treated area two to five times daily as instructed by Dr. Kabiri
Elevate your head at night to help reduce swelling for the first four days after treatment.
Apply cool compresses for fifteen minutes every two-hour interval or, as needed, during the first day or two.
Avoid aggressive facial treatments, like glycolic or tretinoin, for four weeks and topical serums or creams that may irritate for six weeks after treatment.
Apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly or antibiotic ointment to the area twice daily until your skin is completely healed.
Avoid activities that may cause flushing for two weeks after treatment.

Resuming Normal Activities After Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

After the first week, you can resume most daily activities that don’t involve getting out in the sun. Refrain from waxing, exfoliations, light peels, and microdermabrasion for three months from the day of treatment. Avoid the sun or tanning beds for four weeks.

How Long Do Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Benefits Last?

Laser treatment results appear soon after your skin resurfaces. You’ll also enjoy gradual firming and skin-tightening effects for a few months as your skin produces new collagen. The best corrections are displayed in three to four months. While some outcomes become visible after only one treatment, many patients get a series of treatments to improve on initial results.

While laser skin resurfacing’s outcomes can last up to two years, many individuals choose to keep their skin looking young with annual treatments.

Maintaining Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Outcomes

Following a laser resurfacing treatment, here’s what you can do to take the best care of your skin.

Stay Out of the Sun

Right after laser treatment, your skin is very susceptible. As a result, the sun’s UV rays can likely do extensive damage while your skin is vulnerable. To reduce the risk of discomfort and other impacts of sun damage, minimize the time you spend in the sun after treatment.

If you go outdoors, stay in shaded areas, and liberally apply 30+ SPF sunscreen to the treatment area. Keep a wide-brimmed hat on so the rays don’t hit your face.

Gently Wash the Treatment Area

You’ll want to keep your newly resurfaced skin clean. Depending on the intensity of your laser treatment, you may need to get a bit creative regarding cleansing. Dr. Kabiri may recommend washing your facial skin with a saline solution or diluted vinegar during the first few days after treatment.

If you typically use a cleanser with acids or other harsh ingredients, avoid using these products until you get the go-ahead from Dr. Kabiri.

Keep the Skin Moisturized

Dr. Kabiri will likely recommend a moisturizer for you to use after your laser resurfacing. In addition, many patients apply petroleum jelly to their skin after ablative therapy, such as Fraxel repair. The petroleum jelly helps hydrate and forms a protective barrier along the healing skin.

Skip the Strong Ingredients

If you typically use skin care products with retinol or other potent ingredients, stop using them until Dr. Kabiri gives you permission. Any harsh or strong element can do more harm than good when your skin is recovering from treatment.

Wait for Makeup

After laser treatment, your skin may look worse before it looks better. Redness, crusting, and flakiness are all common after laser skin resurfacing. Using foundation or makeup, you might be tempted to cover up those unsightly blemishes to minimize the appearance of crusting and flakes. However, makeup can irritate your healing skin.

How to Choose the Right Fractional Co2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Provider

When you can no longer ignore your wrinkles, fine lines, enlarged pores, and sun damaged skin, CO2 laser skin resurfacing makes an incredible difference in restoring youthful skin. Exclusively performed by Dr. Shadan Kabiri in her West Vancouver clinic, this advanced laser technology will help you regain your beautiful glow without incisions, sutures, or scarring.

What Are the Benefits of RF Microneedling?

Dr. Kabiri — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 00:23:52 +0000

Board-certified Family physician Dr. Shadan Kabiri uses radiofrequency microneedling to offer her patients a firmer, even-toned complexion that appears brighter, smoother, plumper, and younger. It is an excellent treatment that combines two time-tested skin care therapies into one in-office appointment. It can help younger patients with a less significant degree of facial aging delay the need for a facelift.

By repairing and resurfacing your skin at a cellular level, RF microneedling can resolve multiple concerns, including wrinkles and fine lines, skin laxity, hyperpigmentation, and tone and texture issues, to name a few. This post will explain the procedure and its benefits, starting with explaining how radiofrequency microneedling works.

What Is RF Microneedling?

Radiofrequency microneedling is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment to reduce visible wrinkles, scarring, and sagging skin.

Traditional microneedling has been helping people renew their appearance for more than 25 years. This latest innovative procedure incorporates radiofrequency energy to aid the rejuvenation process.

RF microneedling uses ultrafine needles and LED lights that emit radiofrequency waves to produce thermal energy. The process involves creating micro-injuries that stimulate skin’s repair response, encouraging your body’s natural ability to produce collagen.

The treatment involves a handheld device with an array of fine needles designed to puncture the top layer of skin up to three millimeters deep. Then, the microneedles apply high-intensity radiofrequency energy in a fractional pattern to trigger collagen and elastin production.

Immediately afterward, Dr. Kabiri can administer a serum with specific nutrients to help build new collagen and elastin more quickly.

Applying RF microneedling to underlying skin layers will treat scars and tighten tissue to diminish wrinkles and create a smoother, more youthful appearance while improving texture and firmness. In addition, Dr. Kabiri can modify needle penetration depth, and she can control the amount of radiofrequency energy emitted.

The procedure takes about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the treatment areas. For optimal results, prepare for three to four sessions in three to eight weeks, allowing your skin to heal between appointments.

You should begin to realize the benefits after three to six months, which should last about one year. Then, to maintain your desired results, Dr. Shabiri recommends a follow-up session annually.

What Is the Difference Between RF Microneedling and Microneedling?

RF microneedling offers several advantages over traditional microneedling.

Traditional Microneedling

Traditional microneedling involves rolling a specialized handheld device over your skin to create controlled microscopic punctures. These minor skin wounds stimulate your skin’s natural healing process. In addition, newly developed growth factors will work to thicken your skin to help reduce wrinkles, dull skin, acne scarring, and stretch marks. Micro-wounds from microneedling can also act as channels for delivering topical skin care treatments like hyaluronic acid.

RF Microneedling

RF microneedling enhances the time-honored technique by adding radiofrequency energy to help generate growth factors. RF microneedling uses a series of tiny needles to deliver micro-punctures along the skin. Adding radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis amplifies the production of skin-improving substances like elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid than traditional microneedling alone. In addition, RF energy heats underlying skin layers to enhance skin tightening further.

Bottom Line: Is Rf Microneedling Superior?

RF microneedling has received outstanding reviews from our patients. Dr. Kabiri can use the treatment to treat wrinkles, acne scarring, irregular skin textures, sun damage, stretch marks, and neck skin laxity. It is also fully customizable.

What Are the Benefits of RF Microneedling?

Dr. Kabiri and her team see firsthand the multiple benefits of radiofrequency microneedling. It’s excellent for all skin tones and types and addresses different conditions. Here’s what you’ll experience with RF microneedling in Vancouver.

Versatility

No two patients are identical, and neither is their skin. So why should you settle for cookie-cutter skin care? RF microneedling is entirely customizable for your needs. It can penetrate three layers of skin if necessary to tackle and minimize deeper scarring or wrinkles. In addition, Dr. Kabiri can adjust the technology to what she believes will benefit your skin the most.

Acne Scar Reduction

Those who struggled with acne in early adulthood may still have an unpleasant reminder in the form of raised or pitted scars. Acne scarring can leave you with uneven skin tone and texture. RF microneedling can penetrate deep scarring and break it up for a smoother complexion.

Collagen Boosting

One of the most critical benefits of RF microneedling is its ability to boost collagen production. Creating controlled injuries stimulates your body’s natural healing response, renewing your skin. You can think of RF microneedling as simultaneously a healing and anti-aging solution.

Wrinkle Reduction

After RF microneedling, you’ll notice fewer fine lines and wrinkles. The radiofrequency energy goes through and around the needles to provide additional stimulation. RF microneedling can also minimize deep wrinkles by penetrating three skin layers.

Skin Resurfacing

Even if you don’t struggle with acne scars or wrinkles, this technology benefits every skin type. It’s a resurfacing and rejuvenating treatment that leaves your complexion fresh and new. It helps keep your skin looking and feeling younger, with long-lasting results.

Once Dr. Kabiri completes your RF microneedling treatment, you’ll reap the benefits of glowing, healthy skin for up to a year before you need a follow-up appointment.

How Soon Do You See Results From RF Microneedling?

One of the advantages associated with this treatment is that you’ll notice a difference within about a week, with more dramatic results progressing over the next three to four weeks. This delayed reaction is because collagen and elastin production takes time to kick into high gear.

Also, various skin issues require different timeframes to address your cosmetic concerns. For example, if you’re seeking to diminish the appearance of acne scarring, you may require four to six sessions spaced several weeks apart, and it may take six months to a year to realize your full benefits.

On the other hand, only one or two sessions may suffice to address the early signs of facial aging, and your desired results could develop in as little as one month or two. After Dr. Kabiri meets with you to assess your skin, she can better understand how soon you can expect to see an improvement.

Does RF Microneedling Tighten Skin?

Hundreds of thousands of Americans receive skin tightening treatments every year. RF microneedling acts as a non-surgical facelift on all skin types and tones, with minimal risk of hyperpigmentation. In addition, RF microneedling is effective for older patients who need more potency in their anti-aging regimen and for younger people who are starting to see the initial signs of aging.

Radiofrequency delivers safe levels of low-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat. This heat penetrates deep into your dermis to stimulate cell turnover and collagen and elastin production. Collagen acts as a scaffold to support skin structure, and elastin makes your skin more resilient and less slack. As a result, lax, sagging skin regains a smooth texture and firm contour.

Is One RF Microneedling Session Enough?

The number of treatment sessions you require depends on multiple factors, including the skin issues we are treating and how your skin responds to RF microneedling.

Some patients report improvement a week after their first session. These results include smaller pores and a glowing skin tone. However, because everyone has unique skin concerns and healing factors, you may need several appointments to deliver your ideal outcomes.

After your first session, Dr. Kabiri will give you a list of post-treatment instructions. It’s essential to follow these carefully for optimal healing.

You can safely book your microneedling treatments every four to six weeks until you get your desired benefits. For instance, if your goal is scar reduction, you’ll likely need three to six treatments. For collagen induction, three treatments are a good starting point.

Microneedling is a highly effective treatment for most skin concerns. Best of all, many people see noticeable results after only one or two appointments.

Is RF Microneedling Right for You?

Dealing with scars, wrinkles, enlarged pores, or aging skin can impact your appearance and confidence. Everyone wants to look their best at any age or stage of life. Dr. Kabiri offers an array of treatments for different cosmetic concerns, and dedicates her time and energy to bringing her patients a medical approach tailored to their specific needs.

RF microneedling is a versatile solution for multiple skin issues. It combines two of the most effective non-surgical treatment protocols to resolve your concerns.

Don’t Want Fillers? Use Your Plasma to Rejuvenate Your Skin!

Dr. Kabiri — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 17:37:07 +0000

With their ability to augment facial features, erase wrinkles, and contour your face, dermal fillers have become a popular cosmetic treatment. But if you want to rejuvenate your skin through a method other than dermal fillers, platelet-rich plasma in West Vancouver, BC, can help.

PRP treatment uses healing factors derived from your blood plasma to refresh your appearance. This straightforward procedure allows you to use your body’s natural healing and protective processes to address imperfections, induce skin firmness, and obtain a glow that turns heads for all the right reasons.

To help you learn how PRP works, here’s a detailed explanation of its benefits.

How Does PRP Work?

The plasma in your blood is a rich source of natural healing factors. While medical professionals such as orthopedic surgeons have used it for years, it is only now coming into its own in cosmetic medicine.

Platelets have a wealth of growth factors that can stimulate cell reproduction and tissue regeneration, making them “super-healers.” PRP therapy mimics your natural recovery process, which is why its potential is so exciting.

Dr. Kabiri will start a PRP treatment with a quick blood draw. Then, she’ll spin the blood through a high-speed centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. Injecting PRP into your skin will encourage your body’s natural healing and address various aesthetic issues. Since platelet-rich plasma derives from your blood, there is never any need to worry about compatibility, infections, allergic reactions, or other complications. All these advantages make PRP a highly sought-after cosmetic treatment.

What Can PRP Do for You?

There are several benefits to receiving PRP, including the following.

Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines

When your skin receives the extra boost of growth factors and proteins in plasma, it switches into healing mode. The resulting firming and tightening will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Decrease Blemishes and Imperfections

By giving your skin the support of PRP, you can also help it repair imperfections like discoloration and other flaws that can detract from your appearance.

Resolve Dark Undereye Circles

The natural growth factors in PRP can provide much-needed extra nourishment. Dark circles around your eyes are an ideal example of an area that can repair itself after receiving PRP.

Deliver a Healthy Glow

One of the most significant benefits of PRP comes in the form of refreshed skin that glows from the inside out. This remarkable effect is possible due to the natural proteins and growth factors within PRP. Once you introduce your skin to the extra dose of PRP, it will appear more nourished, plump, and youthful.

Promote Natural Hair Growth

Among its many other advantages, PRP also stands out by promoting hair growth across the scalp. If you are facing hair loss due to lack of nourishment to your hair roots, getting targeted injections of PRP may help solve this issue.

What Should I Expect During My Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery?

Dr. Kabiri — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 17:53:00 +0000

Through the various laser treatments in West Vancouver, BC, you can easily give your skin a happy, healthy, and refreshed glow. From correcting sun damage to improving the texture of your skin, laser skin resurfacing alone can resolve a variety of aesthetic concerns.

But before reaping these rewards, it is easy to start thinking about how to recover from laser skin resurfacing procedures. Fortunately, following a few suggestions can help you through your recovery to minimize any side effects. At the same time, learning about the process can help you obtain your ideal results without any surprises along the way.

To help you learn more about what to expect after this segment of laser treatments, here is a general timeline and tips to recover from the best laser skin resurfacing in West Vancouver with Dr. Shadan Kabiri.

How to Recover from Laser Skin Resurfacing

While recovering from your laser skin resurfacing, keep the following points in mind.

Remember That It Is a Noninvasive Procedure

Laser skin resurfacing uses no incisions or injections, which earns it the classification of being a noninvasive treatment. This means that right after receiving the procedure, you do not have to think about caring for bandages or surgical wounds. However, there are other side effects that you need to keep in mind.

Expect Swelling, Redness, and Pain

After your laser skin resurfacing, it is common to notice a little swelling, redness, and pain over the treatment area. These effects can last for a few days to a few weeks. During this period, it is important to follow any aftercare instructions provided delivered by your treatment provider. This helps you minimize discomfort during your recovery.

You May Experience Itchiness and Peeling

After your laser skin resurfacing treatment, you may face itchy skin around the treatment area. This is also accompanied by the intended effect of skin peeling, which removes the uppermost layers of your skin to reveal refreshed skin from within. These effects can last for 2 to 3 weeks but being prepared for them beforehand saves you from any surprises.

Tips to Recover from Laser Skin Resurfacing

Learning how to recover from laser skin resurfacing is not difficult. In addition to following the advice from your treatment expert, you can also keep the following points in mind.

Avoid Direct Sunlight

When you get laser skin resurfacing treatment, your skin is highly sensitive to sun exposure. Due to this reason, it is crucial that you avoid direct sunlight as much as possible after your treatment. If you have to go under the sun, use a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or more.

Avoid Wearing Makeup for a Few Days

While your skin heals from your laser skin resurfacing, you should not put any irritants on it, including makeup. The duration of this timeframe will depend on your provider’s suggestions, but it typically ranges from 7 to 10 days.

Refrain from Pulling at Your Skin

As your skin peels and makes way for new skin cells to appear, avoid pulling or picking at the skin that is being removed through natural processes. Instead, you should keep using skincare products as advised by your treatment provider.

Keep Your Head Elevated

Keeping your head in an elevated position as you sleep allows you to keep your blood flow in control. In turn, this helps you reduce swelling after your treatment.

Use an Ice Pack If Needed

During the first few days, you can use an ice pack on the treatment area to reduce discomfort, swelling, and bruising. This can help you recover in a more comfortable manner, while also keeping most side-effects at bay.

Popular Areas for CoolSculpting

No matter your age, obtaining a toned, sculpted figure is likely on your list of aesthetic goals. But sometimes, this objective remains frustratingly out of reach, even after a consistent fitness and nutrition regimen. In most cases, this problem is due to stubborn fat pockets that are hard to lose without targeted treatments.

Fortunately, CoolSculpting in West Vancouver, BC, can help. With this revolutionary treatment, you can finally say goodbye to unwanted fat from various areas of your body. At the same time, the non-invasive procedure lets you achieve your ideal physique without surgery or extensive downtime.

But what places on your body respond best to CoolSculpting? Is this solution effective anywhere you want it to be? To help you get an answer, here is a list of areas where CoolSculpting often produces the best results.

What Is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical treatment that uses controlled freezing technology to destroy fat cells with the help of a specialized applicator. Freezing these cells will destroy them, and then your body will flush them out of your system after the next few months.

CoolSculpting is an alternative to surgeries such as liposuction and is a safe, FDA-approved way to eliminate targeted fat pockets. However, it is not a weight loss procedure, and is best for small, localized regions that have not responded to diet and exercise.

While CoolSculpting works on larger areas such as your thighs and abdominal region, additional applicators using the same technology can work on smaller areas like your chin and upper arms. These devices are the CoolAdvantage Petite™ and CoolMini™.

Where Can You Get CoolSculpting?

With CoolSculpting, CoolAdvantage Petite™, and CoolMini™, you can target different areas of your body that include:

Chin
Neck
Abdomen
Back
Upper arms
Thighs

CoolSculpting is a highly customizable procedure, which means Dr. Shadan Kabiri can create a tailored plan for you after learning more about what you want to achieve. This understanding lets you bid farewell to unwanted fat and embrace your ideal silhouette without significant downtime.

While determining which areas are ideal for CoolSculpting in your case, you can also opt to have multiple sites treated simultaneously. Combining treatments lets you realize the benefits of CoolSculpting to the fullest, without having to wait between appointments.

Things to Remember Before CoolSculpting

Before your first CoolSculpting treatment, remembering a few points can help you manage expectations in your pursuit of a toned figure.

CoolSculpting may require multiple sessions: You may need a series of appointments to realize your ideal results.
CoolSculpting does not require extensive downtime: You can return to most of your usual daily activities immediately after your treatment.
CoolSculpting doesn’t require any preparation: You don’t need to eat a restrictive diet or follow any other guidelines to get ready for this procedure, but you should still discuss your goals with an experienced provider.

5 Tips for Recovering From CoolSculpting

Dr. Kabiri — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 04:06:58 +0000

With CoolSculpting in West Vancouver, BC, you can obtain a toned silhouette without any surgery or extensive downtime. But while this non-invasive procedure minimizes your recovery period, it is still essential to learn what to expect during your recovery for optimal results.

To help you through your journey of losing unwanted fat pockets, here are five beneficial tips on recovering from CoolSculpting.

1. Wear Comfortable Clothing

When you go through CoolSculpting, the technology freezes the fat cells deep within your skin. Since the procedure uses an applicator device applied directly to your skin, it’s much less aggressive than surgeries such as liposuction. Still, the treatment may create soreness across the treatment area.

During and after your CoolSculpting appointment, we recommend wearing loose-fitting clothing that does not put any pressure on your skin. The goal is to aid your comfort, prevent soreness, and allow you to recover while feeling more relaxed.

2. Do Not Overexert Yourself

Little to no downtime is one of the most significant advantages of CoolSculpting, but the procedure may still leave you with some residual soreness, redness, and bruising. These effects are no cause for alarm and should resolve on their own in a few days’ time if you follow all the recovery tips we give you.

If you feel any pain or discomfort, do not overexert yourself after your treatment. Avoiding physically strenuous activities such as extensive workouts or demanding sports should enable you to breeze through your CoolSculpting recovery.

3. Stay Hydrated After the Treatment

After you go through CoolSculpting, the fat cells frozen by this treatment gradually get flushed out of your body through your lymphatic system. The process is virtually painless, but you can take steps to hasten it.

To improve your blood flow, stay hydrated after your treatment by keeping a canteen full of fresh water close to hand and sipping from it every few minutes. If you get thirsty, that’s a sign you are already mildly dehydrated. If you have trouble remembering to drink water, set a timer on your phone or install a hydration app.

4. Get Some OTC Painkillers if Needed

While going through CoolSculpting recovery, you may experience some mild soreness. Dr. Shadan Kabiri can give you her expert advice on which over-the-counter pain medication will best alleviate your discomfort.

Since OTC painkillers have no risk of side effects for most people, you can confidently find a solution that works for you. If you worry about bruising and pain, be sure to mention it to Dr. Kabiri before getting this treatment.

5. Speak to Your Provider

We can customize your entire CoolSculpting journey according to your requirements, including your recovery process. This attention to detail will help resolve any concerns you may have and manage any side effects that are specific to your case.

Keeping this in mind, tell Dr. Kabiri about any unexpected side effects and concerns that come up in the days following your appointment. She’ll help you breeze through the process to obtain your ideal figure.

4 Reasons to Get an IPL

Dr. Kabiri — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 17:58:16 +0000

If you are looking for a noninvasive method to give your skin a glowing, refreshed, and youthful look, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy or IPL photofacial can be the answer to your needs. Through this approach, you can rejuvenate your skin with a treatment that is quick, safe, and effective.

But exactly why should you get an IPL photofacial in West Vancouver, BC? To help you learn more about the benefits of this procedure, here are 4 reasons to get IPL photofacial.

1. It Gives You an Even Tone and Texture

While speaking about the benefits of IPL photofacial, its advantage of enhancing the tone and texture of your skin stands front and center. When you get IPL, multiple wavelengths of targeted light therapy target deeper layers of your skin. This induces the skin’s natural healing processes.

This can help you against concerns such as age spots and redness. Additionally, the process also works toward minimizing your pores. As a result, you can boast of a refreshed appearance and smoother look for your skin.

2. It Reduces the Effects of Sun Damage

Reducing sun damage from your skin is yet another reason why should you get a photofacial. With the effects of IPL therapy, your skin sheds dull and damaged skin cells. Over the course of the treatment, this gives you a brighter and glowing appearance that shows little to no signs of sun damage

Apart from dark spots, sun damage can appear in the form of dull, reddened, and freckled skin. That is why, this particular benefit can be quite helpful if you are concerned about any of these problems. Since the procedure is noninvasive, you can also reap these rewards without any downtime.

3. It Minimizes the Appearance of Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Besides giving you a glowing appearance free of concerning marks and spots, IPL photofacial can also reduce wrinkles and fine lines over your skin. As a part of the most significant benefits of IPL photofacial, this advantage can help you turn back time for a younger appearance.

Whether your light wrinkles are a result of sun damage or the effects of aging, this benefit can work to resolve their appearance to a significant extent. This helps you look more youthful, while also boosting your confidence.

4. It Can Be Performed on Multiple Areas of Your Body

Many of the advantages of IPL photorejuvenation can make it seem like a treatment for your face. But IPL is actually a great therapy for multiple areas of your body. Besides your face, treatment areas can include your neck, chest, hands, and arms.

If you are concerned about age spots, redness, sun damage, or fine lines across multiple areas of your body, IPL photofacial can help you resolve these concerns with ease. To see how you can benefit from the treatment, speak to an IPL therapy provider about your goals.

Non-Surgical Options for Younger Looking Skin

Dr. Kabiri — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 06:21:04 +0000

As you go through the natural aging process, the desire to attain youthful and glowing skin climbs high on your list of priorities. It is for good reason as well: firm, supple, and vibrant skin not only allows you to look your best but also goes a long way toward boosting your confidence.

With non-surgical anti-aging treatments in West Vancouver, BC, you can easily achieve this goal through noninvasive and minimally invasive procedures. While these face and body skin tightening approaches do not involve surgery, they enable you to obtain highly positive results.

To help you learn more about these anti-aging treatments without surgery, here is some information on some of the most popular non-surgical options for younger looking skin.

What Do Non-Surgical Anti-Aging Treatments Do?

Typically, non-surgical, anti-aging procedures use the following treatment methods.

Noninvasive options, such as topical solutions
Minimally invasive approaches, such as targeted injections

With these procedures, you can reduce wrinkles, diminish dark spots, and tighten the surface of loose skin. In turn, this takes years off your appearance and figure to help you look as young as you feel.

Since these options do not use surgical incisions, they also have the added benefit of minimal downtime. As a result, you can obtain your required goals without having to endure an extensive recovery period.

Some of the most popular anti-aging treatments without surgery include the following procedures.

RF Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is a non-surgical treatment. It utilizes targeted RF waves to induce heat within your skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, tightens the skin, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and cellulite.

Venus Legacy is one of the most sought-after RF skin tightening treatments, which also uses pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF). This delivers remarkable results with minimal downtime. Venus Legacy can treat signs of aging on your face as well as various other areas on your body.

Microneedling

Microneedling creates slight injuries to the skin with tiny needles. This minimally invasive procedure does not cause lasting harm to your skin. Rather, microneedling encourages your body to boost the production of collagen and elastin, which firms and tightens your skin around the treatment site.

With non-surgical, anti-aging treatments such as Profound and Scarlet SRF, you can also combine microneedling with RF technology. This remarkably enhances your results and lets you bid farewell to wrinkles, loose skin, and dark spots to a significant degree.

Laser Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing uses highly targeted lasers to send microscopic beams within your skin. This delivery of energy and heat induces the production of collagen, which works wonders for tightening the skin, making it firmer, and enabling it to look healthier.

Fractional CO2 Laser is a highly sought-after treatment in this category. Through this method, you not only get the ability to reduce your wrinkles and dark spots but also enjoy the perks of resolving sun damage and evening out your skin tone.
