What is BotoxⓇ?

As you age, your skin loses volume and elasticity, causing wrinkles, furrows, and lines to develop. Dr. Zarreii offers a variety of safe, clinically proven cosmetic therapies to diminish the signs of aging.

Botox is an FDA-approved product used to improve the look of moderate-to-severe crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines in adults. Botox works by using a natural form of the botulinum toxin to temporarily freeze muscle activity in the treatment area for a smoother, softer appearance.

In addition to Botox, Dr. Zarreii achieves great results with DysportⓇ and XeominⓇ, cosmetic injectables that work much in the same way. Both Dysport and Xeomin are especially effective for reducing frown lines.

What does Botox treatment involve?

Dr. Zarreii reviews your health history, performs a facial analysis, and discusses your cosmetic goals to determine if Botox is right for you.

To begin treatment, he cleans and preps the target area. Dr. Zarreii may apply a topical numbing cream to prevent any discomfort, though Botox is a fairly painless procedure.

Next, he uses a thin needle to inject the product into the muscle causing your frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead lines. You may feel a slight pinch upon injection. Immediately following treatment, mild redness or swelling may occur but should resolve within minutes.

The entire procedure from prep to finish takes 20-40 minutes, depending upon your aesthetic goals.

What kind of results can I expect from Botox treatment and how long will they last?

Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, and Xeomin offer visible results in the first 2-3 days after treatment. From there, results continue to appear every day, with optimal results generally lasting 3-4 months.

You can expect a natural yet noticeable softening of deep lines and furrows. Botox injections offer a smoother appearance without the telltale “frozen” look that some experience with plastic surgery.

Countless products promise to get rid of wrinkles and make you look longer. Dr. Zarreii only uses safe, proven cosmetic products to deliver your desired outcome. Individual results will vary.

Over time, your skin undergoes changes resulting from the loss of naturally occurring components. Wrinkles, furrows, and lines appear, especially on those parts of the body that are exposed to the sun: the face, hands, and forearms.

The good news is, you can have a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Using a variety of innovative, high-quality dermal fillers, Dr. Zarreii adds volume and smooths wrinkles without surgery.

Dr. Zarreii chooses products that are clinically proven to be safe and effective, and are made from a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid. He achieves great results with:

• Belotero BalanceⓇ: Primarily used to fill moderate-to-severe nasolabial folds, which are the lines that stretch from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth
• Juvéderm: A collection of injectable fillers designed to add volume to lips, cheeks, and facial wrinkles and folds
• RestylaneⓇ: A family of products that hydrate, fill, and add elasticity to the skin of the face and hands
• RadiesseⓇ: A filler that plumps skin for a year or more and also stimulates your body to produce new collagen

During your dermal filler consultation, Dr. Zarreii explains the benefits, risks, and alternatives of each product to determine which is right for you.

What can I expect during dermal filler treatment?

After Dr. Zarreii determines that you’re a good candidate for dermal fillers, he performs a facial analysis to identify the best product for your aesthetic goals. Before the procedure, he cleans the treatment area and uses a topical anesthetic to numb your skin.

Next, he uses an ultra-fine needle to inject the filler into the target tissue. Dermal filler injections take just a few moments to complete. After dermal filler treatment, you may experience mild bruising, redness, or swelling that subsides over time. A cold compress and over-the-counter pain relievers help relieve symptoms.

What results can I expect from dermal fillers?

After your dermal filler injections, you may see an immediate improvement with results that continue to become apparent in the days following treatment. Optimal results tend to appear around 7-10 days after treatment, once the product has settled and swelling has reduced completely.

Results vary from product to product, but dermal filler results generally last 6-18 months. Because hyaluronic injectables are safe and natural, you can use them again in the future. You can benefit from one or two initial sessions followed by maintenance treatments every year.

While diet and exercise are essential to living a healthy lifestyle and feeling great, even the fittest person may still find some pockets of fat tough to shed no matter how hard they try.

Working out, eating right, and making good lifestyle choices are the first steps to losing weight. Cosmetic procedures are also available to help you lose those last few pounds, enhance the results of your hard work, and enjoy a more sculpted physique.

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for permanently dissolving fat to give you a sleeker, more toned appearance. Kybella’s main component is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, the substance in your body that aids in the breakdown of fat. Kybella works by destroying fat cells so they’re no longer able to hold or accumulate fat.

Kybella body contouring is effective for reducing fat on the:

• Back
• Belly
• Buttocks
• Chin
• Knees
• Upper arms

Unlike other fat-loss treatments, Kybella works by destroying unwanted fat for good. This is why it’s been called “liposuction in a syringe.”

How does Kybella work?

Kybella body contouring offers real results without painful and invasive surgery. Dr. Zarreii performs Kybella injections in the office with minimal downtime or side effects.

Once Dr. Zarreii has determined you’re a good candidate for Kybella, and you’ve discussed the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the procedure, you’re ready for treatment. After clearing and preparing the skin, Dr. Zarreii gently injects the Kybella solution into the pre-marked injection sites.

Treatment requires multiple injections. To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, your provider applies a topical anesthetic or cold compress to the treatment area. After Kybella, temporary redness, swelling, and bruising are normal. These should subside within a few days.

What kind of results can I expect from Kybella?

To achieve the best results possible, Dr. Zarreii recommends multiple treatments, each scheduled about a month apart. In clinical studies, most participants began to see results after 2-4 sessions. In more than half of cases studied, participants opted for six treatments in total. Individual results will vary.

The great news about Kybella is that unlike other aesthetic procedures targeting fat, body contouring with Kybella offers permanent results. Once you achieve your cosmetic goals, you never have to treat those areas again.

A thread lift is an FDA-cleared cosmetic procedure that bridges the gap between noninvasive facial rejuvenation techniques like dermal fillers and botox injections and invasive plastic surgery.

During a thread lift, Dr. Zarreii inserts tiny temporary stitches, or sutures, into the skin to lift and suspend it in a natural way. The thread lift offers noticeably tighter skin, but without that severe, pulled back look that is often the telltale sign of plastic surgery.

Dr. Zarreii uses sutures that are naturally absorbed by the body within around six months. These medical-grade threads don’t require anchoring – so you don’t have to worry about scarring, bumps, or bulges on the skin’s surface. Because they are so small, you won’t feel them under your skin.

Is a thread lift facelift right for me?

So how do you know if you’re a good candidate for this innovative facial rejuvenation technique? If you answer yes to most of these questions, a thread lift consultation with Dr. Zarreii may be a great next step for you.

• Are you hoping to enhance the results you’ve achieved with other aesthetic procedures?
• Are you looking for a less-invasive anti-aging alternative to a surgical facelift?
• Do you want to avoid the bruising, swelling, pain, and recovery that comes with surgery?
• Do you want a treatment that continues to improve your skin long after you’ve left the office?
• Do you want natural yet noticeable, long-lasting results?

The thread lift facelift is not for everyone. During your aesthetic consultation, Dr. Zarreii evaluates your overall health, cosmetic goals, skin quality, and bone structure before recommending the ideal procedure for you.

What kind of results can I expect from a thread lift?

Besides the primary benefit of a more youthful, tightened appearance, the thread lift facelift offers another incredible benefit for your skin. After the tiny threads are introduced to the skin, the body sends collagen to the treatment area to initiate the healing process. Collagen has anti-aging properties and firms and tightens your skin to boost your results.

Dr. Zarreii finds that many see immediate results that continue to improve over time and last up to two years or more. Until the threads fully dissolve, the body’s healing response remains active.

Individual results will vary. To schedule a consultation and learn if the thread lift is right for you, call or click today.

Collagen is a type of protein found in the body’s connective tissues in our bones, muscles, hair, and skin. It works to support both elastin, which maintains skin shape, and hyaluronic acid, which hydrates the skin.

With age and reduced collagen production, skin begins to lose its elasticity and volume, causing those pesky lines and folds to appear. Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable facial filler designed to treat fine lines, folds, and wrinkles.

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic biocompatible and biodegradable material that is absorbed naturally by the body over time. Sculptra injections stimulate the body to rebuild collagen strands for a softer, more refreshed appearance.

What does Sculptra treatment involve?

Dr. Zarreii finds Sculptra to be highly effective in promoting collagen production in and around:

• Chin wrinkles
• Laugh lines
• Smile lines

Sculptra injections are generally painless and have minimal side effects. Prior to your procedure, Dr. Zarreii discusses your goals for treatment, explains the process, and answers any questions you may have.

Next, he cleans and preps the area to be treated. A topical anesthetic cream is available to reduce any discomfort. From there, he injects the Sculptra solution into the target areas. You will most likely require multiple injections.

Finally, he applies a cold compress to reduce swelling. To ensure great results, Dr. Zarreii asks you to massage the treatment area for a few minutes every day in the first few days after your procedure.

You may experience mild bruising or swelling after Sculptra, but this generally diminishes within a few days. You’re free to resume your regular activities right after you leave the office.

What kind of results does Sculptra offer?

While other types of fillers offer temporary fullness on the skin’s surface, Sculptra works on a deeper level to stimulate collagen production in the dermis layer of the skin, restoring structure and volume for long-term results.

The number of injections and sessions you’ll need depends on how much collagen has been lost. Typically, an average of three sessions scheduled over the course of 3-4 months is recommended. Results are often noticeable immediately and can last as long as two years or more.

As with all cosmetic treatments, individual results will vary. Call or book an appointment online to learn more about Sculptra and other noninvasive procedures to turn back time.

What is PRP therapy?

Human blood contains plasma or proteins that help with the clotting process. Plasma also helps to promote cell growth. Researchers and medical providers are able to separate these proteins from the blood and concentrate them, creating a substance called platelet-rich plasma, or PRP.

PRP therapy offers promising results for a variety of aesthetic and medical applications, including:

• Acute injuries
• Facial rejuvenation
• Hair loss
• Osteoarthritis
• Post-surgical repair
• Tendon injuries

PRP harnesses the body’s own power to heal itself to improve an aesthetic or medical condition. Dr. Zarreii recommends PRP regenerative therapy for those seeking hair restoration and facial rejuvenation because it’s natural, painless, and comes with few risks or side effects.

What does PRP therapy involve?

The first step in PRP therapy is drawing blood. After your blood is drawn, your provider puts it inside a centrifuge, a type of machine that spins it quickly until it separates. Next, he takes the isolated plasma and prepares it for injection into the area being treated.

PRP microneedling facial rejuvenation

Dr. Zarreii offers microneedling with PRP for non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Microneedling involves the use of a device containing hundreds of tiny needles. As he rolls the device over your skin, these microneedles create tiny punctures of varying depths.

The body reacts by initiating the healing process in these tiny pores, stimulating cell regeneration and collagen production. As Dr. Zarreii injects PRP into the treatment area, the results are intensified.

PRP hair restoration

PRP hair restoration involves the same process as other PRP therapies. After the plasma has been separated and concentrated, it’s injected into your scalp. Researchers believe PRP works for hair growth by increasing blood supply to the follicle and thickening the hair shaft.

Besides minimal bleeding immediately after the procedure, PRP treatment has few side effects.

What kind of results does PRP offer?

Microneedling with PRP offers impressive results, including:

• Greater skin hydration
• Improvement in skin radiance
• Increased skin firmness
• Refined skin texture
• Softening of fine lines and wrinkles
• Subtle skin tightening

Some changes are noticeable immediately after PRP facial rejuvenation while others appear over time. Many PRP hair restoration clients notice an improvement in hair growth and thickness. Dr. Zarreii generally recommends several initial sessions every 4-6 weeks, followed by maintenance treatments as needed.

Individual results will vary. Call or click to book a PRP consultation with Dr. Zarreii today.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments — sometimes called “IPL photofacials” — are among the safest and most effective solutions for enhancing your skin. With each burst of IPL light, many different wavelengths of light pass into your skin, which can each reach varying depths.

Pigments in cells absorb this intense light energy and convert it into heat. This heating effect forces pigments to shatter so that healthier new skin tissue can rise to the surface.

At the same time, the therapeutic heating effect forces cells to regenerate, turnover, and build up new tissues from the deepest layers. Over time, not only does your skin become more even-toned, but it also appears and feels smoother.

What can IPL treat?

Zarreii Medical and Aesthetics personalizes IPL treatments to your desires and needs. Dr. Zarreii recommends IPL treatments to minimize or improve the appearance of:

• Rosacea
• Freckles
• Age spots
• Dark spots
• Birthmarks
• Sun damage
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Spider veins and facial veins

IPL treatments are fast and can be completed in as little as 15-30 minutes, depending on your treatment area. Aside from some minor redness or swelling, you won’t have any downtime and can easily schedule your IPL session at Zarreii Medical and Aesthetics during your lunch hour.

When will I have results with an IPL photofacial?

Your skin is going to be more sensitive than normal after an IPL treatment, so Dr. Zarreii encourages you to wear sunscreen for several days as your skin is healing and to avoid prolonged sun exposure.

However, in order to maintain beautiful blemish-free skin, continued daily use of sunscreen is preferential.

You should start noticing an improvement in your skin’s tone and texture within the first week, with ongoing improvements week after week.

For optimal anti-aging benefits, Dr. Zarreii often recommends a series of three to six IPL sessions, each spaced at least a month apart to give your skin adequate time to heal.

Then to keep your skin looking its best, Dr. Zarreii suggests preventive maintenance IPL sessions about once or twice a year.
