Nanofat And PRP Injections For Hair Loss

Among men, hair loss can be an alarming issue. The American Hair Loss Association indicates that around 85 percent of men will experience significant thinning of hair by the time they are 50.

There is an innovative and highly promising technology available today for controlling hair loss – PRP and Nanofat. It uses the patient’s own blood components and undesirable fat to promote new hair growth in a non-surgical manner and without any significant side effects.

PRP, along with Nanofat, is a cutting-edge hair loss treatment that can prevent and restore hair loss in males. Remarkable outcomes have been seen in men with hair loss, all without any surgical treatment. This procedure involves the use of the patient’s own blood concentrated and harvested undesirable fat cells to promote the growth of bulge and matrix cells situated in hair follicles.

The infusion of progenitor cells and growth factors activates a biochemical cascade to regrow hair which the patient may have lost due to male pattern baldness, genetic reasons, androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, or stress. These advanced regenerative treatments can be undertaken painlessly in a comfortable office setting without any downtime.

Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery (VIPS), led by board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton M. Sundin and Dr. Reps B. Sundin, provides nanofat based treatments to patients in Richmond, Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia, and surrounding locations.

What is PRP?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) refers to a concentrated source of platelets sourced from the patient’s own blood. It comprises a range of growth factors which revitalize blood flow and local cell growth to help repair and restore various compromised and aging body tissues.

For instance, upon being injected directly into the scalp, it stimulates hair follicles and new blood vessels, to encourage healthy hair regrowth using one’s own healing capabilities contained within our blood. In addition, it can be used to address signs of facial aging, treat sexual dysfunction in men, and decrease pain and swelling of the joints.

What is Nanofat?

Every individual generally has certain areas of undesirable fat somewhere on their body. Remarkably, fat is an amazing biologic reservoir of growth factors and cells.

Nanofat refers to fat taken from one’s own body tissue. This fat is then resized down to minuscule particles. This micronized fat tissue comprises an extensive resource of stromal vascular elements and progenitor cells that have the ability to differentiate and change into newly regenerated skin and hair, for example.

This offers hope for balding thinning scalp hair that occurs due to male pattern baldness and hormonal changes as we age. This procedure uses the body’s own tissues and with the help of technological advancements, turns back the hands of time, enhances self-esteem, and regrows hair.

Outcomes with Nanofat and PRP Hair Regrowth Therapy

According to recent studies, the outcomes of treating early hair loss with regenerative procedures, such as PRP or nanofat injections, are promising. Regenerative hair treatments are not effective if the site under treatment has no remaining hair follicles. Therefore, it’s prudent to start early.

Most patients will experience an increase in hair growth after an initial series of three to six monthly treatments. Patients are recommended maintenance treatments every six months or so or more frequently, if desired.

Cosmetic surgeons at VIPS receive patients from Richmond, Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia, and nearby areas for nanofat based treatments.

How Much Does Arm Lift Surgery Cost?

Arm Lift Surgery

Arm lift cosmetic surgery is not usually covered by health insurance. This makes it important to consider the costs associated with the elective procedure. Your surgeon during the initial consultation will discuss various components of the surgery, including all estimated costs.

You should ask about pre- and post-surgical costs to attain a clear understanding of the kind of money you would have to invest in making your upper arm contours appear more attractive. Don’t hesitate in asking about possible financing options and payment terms at your surgeon’s office. They may be able to help you make a well-informed decision after understanding your budget and cosmetic goals.

Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center, led by board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton M. Sundin and Dr. Reps B. Sundin, provides upper arm lift to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and surrounding locations.

Cost Determination Factors

It is possible for the cost of an arm lift cosmetic surgery to differ marginally between two practices. In some cases, the procedure cost may differ between two patients getting the surgery at the same practice. These are a few factors that tend to influence arm lift surgery procedure cost:

Technique Used

The complexity and extent of your arm lift plastic surgery will make a huge difference to the cost of the surgery. Extended or standard brachioplasty cost more than partial or mini arm lift surgery. The surgeon may perform a noninvasive J-Plasma arm lift in some cases that can help save cost of general anesthesia and surgical facility.

Practice Location

Cosmetic procedure costs can differ between cities and states. Cosmetic surgeries tend to cost more when performed at a practice located in a metropolitan or urban town where the cost of living is higher.

Choice of Surgical Venue

The arm lift procedure may be performed at an accredited surgery center or a hospital as an outpatient surgery. Hospital costs tend to be higher. Reputable surgery centers are equally good facilities. The surgeon, in some cases, may also have their own surgical suite for performing an arm lift surgery.

Fee of the Surgeon

Fee of your plastic surgeon will depend on their experience and skills. It is recommended that you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon since they have higher standards of quality care and invest more in providing best surgical techniques.

Additional Procedures

Arm lift cosmetic surgery procedures can be combined with other noninvasive or surgical procedures. You would need to pay separately for these procedures. The surgeon may offer special package rates for combined procedures.

Options for Financing

In-house financing options with convenient repayment plans may be offered by few surgeons. The terms may include no or low interest rates. You may be able to obtain a notable discount if the payment is made in full upfront without the need for financing.

With that said, you can work with a third-party lender to provide a loan for your arm lift cosmetic surgery procedure. Specialist medical care financing companies are usually better than financial institutions since they offer competitive loans for surgical procedures.

Cosmetic surgeons at MBody receive patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and nearby areas for arm lift surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Arm Lift Surgical And Non-Surgical Options

Arm Lift

Loose or sagging arm skin can compromise beautiful and youthful looking contours in your upper body. Arm lift plastic surgery is also known as brachioplasty. It is a proven and safe solution for reducing sagginess in upper arms.

You could consider Renuvion J-Plasma, a non-surgical arm lift procedure if you want to avoid getting a cosmetic surgery. The surgeon will determine your candidacy during the initial consultation. They will prepare a dedicated and personalized upper arm lift surgery plan.

Arm Lift Cosmetic Surgery

The surgeon will trim away loose or hanging skin in your upper arm area during an arm lift plastic surgery procedure. They will also take care of unwanted and surplus fat deposits. Remaining skin will be pulled taut after that for creating tighter and smoother arm contours. Your arms will look more attractive and youthful post-surgery.

Full upper arm lift cosmetic surgery may be recommended by the plastic surgeon in certain cases. In other cases, you may attain beautiful looking results with a partial or mini arm lift. Your surgeon will help you determine the right procedure depending on your personal aesthetic goals and natural arm contours.

Full Upper Arm Lift Procedure

The surgeon will discreetly place an incision along the upper arm in this surgery. The placement and length of the incision would depend on skin laxity and the area where excess skin flap is present. Incisions in a traditional brachioplasty surgery would run from the armpit to the elbow. Either a curved incision or a Z-shaped incision would be created by the surgeon for minimizing subsequent scarring.

In case you have substantial hanging or loose skin in the upper arms, the surgeon may recommend having an extended brachioplasty performed. The incision would be made in the armpit going all the way down the side of your breast. This incision can be used for removing more surplus skin.

Renuvion J-Plasma Non-Surgical Arm Lift

This noninvasive skin tightening procedure is useful for upper arms. The procedure is also called J Plasty or J Plasma and is useful in refreshing and tightening loose skin in the arms without invasive surgery, large surgical scars, or extended downtime. Plastic surgeons find this precision repair unique and highly targeted.

How Does it Work?

The specialist during Renuvion J Plasma procedure will create a small entry point. This will be done by placing the device in your upper arm area right below the skin. The specialist will release radiofrequency (RF) and pro helium gas to create plasma or a precise stream of energy.

The energy works towards contracting the skin while excess helium gas helps in cooling the area. Tissues are contracted right under the skin with the combination of energy allowing it to tighten. The results of this procedure are instantaneous.

QWO – New Injectable Treatment To Get Rid Of Cellulite Before And After Photos

QWO Before And After Photos

QWO injectables are a safe, reliable, and predictable way of reducing cellulite from the thighs and buttocks. QWO medication is injected in thighs, buttocks and other targeted areas in this filler treatment using tiny injections. This helps in improving the appearance of dimpled skin. It also helps in diminishing or eliminating cellulite.

Your QWO treatment provider will show you before and after photos regarding cellulite reduction during the initial consultation. This will help you attain a concrete idea regarding the procedure and the kind of results you can expect.

Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center, led by board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton M. Sundin and Dr. Reps B. Sundin, provides QWO injections for cellulite reduction to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and surrounding locations.

Developing Stronger Patient Bonds

Prospective patients are usually cautious before trying any new or revolutionary aesthetic procedure. Treatment providers can develop confidence and trust in patients by showing QWO injection treatment before and after pictures.

Full impact of the treatment can be understood by new patients allowing them to better connect with the injection provider after looking at images. Before and after images also develop trust and transparency between the injection provider and the patient. Now these images are not on the site right now but that does not mean that cannot be the case at any time with a simple website update. Make sure you ask to see these images during the consultation.

Attaining Demonstrable Evidence

QWO cellulite reducing ‘before and after’ images will portray a true picture of the procedure and the results. As the old saying goes, a picture speaks louder than words. Sometimes, the patients may not understand what their treatment provider wants to tell them. Words can sound incredulous and are often open to inference.

On the other hand, images are not limited by the common barriers to language. They let the patient know that the results are not part of some exaggerated elaborate story. However, it is imperative that the treatment provider does not morph or photoshop the images in any way.

What’s truly special about these images is the clarity. This clarity is achieved because of digital imagery which has transformed about every industry on the planet. Now patients can see these images and be able to predict the future because they can apply what they see on the screen so easily to their own body or situation. Dr. Sundin and is team believe in transparency and this is why their website is so complete with impressive images of his work.

Pictures Spread Awareness Through Social Media

Posting before and after images online is a brilliant way of spreading the message regarding QWO cellulite reduction injections. It is important that this is done discreetly without revealing the identity of the patient. Almost everyone uses social media forums. Treatment providers can benefit from tapping into an entirely new segment by posting images online.

There is immense mass appeal to social media platforms. This can be used by treatment providers to their benefit. Prospective patients can significantly benefit by looking at QWO before and after images online. They can learn about the injectable and the kind of results to expect even before scheduling an initial consultation with the treatment provider.

Developing Realistic Expectations

QWO cellulite reducing injections can cause significant reduction in wrinkles and facial lines. However, the outcome and results are not comparable to the results of an invasive plastic surgery. You need to be clear where expectation setting is concerned.

By developing reasonable expectations chances of having a successful procedure are increased. It also helps promote satisfaction. Before and after images of QWO cellulite reduction treatment can help with this. They allow patients to know the kind of results that are achievable.

Mini or Limited Incision Brachioplasty/Arm Lifts

Mini Arm Lift

Mini arm lift is a body contouring procedure to create a slimmer arm appearance. The procedure involves re-sculpting arm tissue and removing loose or saggy skin by tightening the skin.

A limited incision brachioplasty or mini arm lift ranks among the most common procedures sought by patients nowadays. This will make sense when you realize that arms are highly visible. Arms make the focal point in the body whether you wear exercise, slim fitting, or bathing clothing.

Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center, led by board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton M. Sundin and Dr. Reps B. Sundin, provides limited incision brachioplasty to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and surrounding locations.

Candidacy for Mini Arm Lift

There are several features that make a person ideal candidate for arm lift surgery:

Moderate Excess Skin
Excess Arm Fat
Mild Excess Arm Skin
Excess Skin And Fat
Weight Loss Patients

Process of a Mini Arm Lift

These are the steps undertaken in a mini arm lift procedure:

Marking

This is necessary to every procedure. Before commencing the cosmetic surgeon will outline the areas of anticipated skin removal and liposuction on the patient. The scar is usually made in the form of a small “u” within the armpit depth. Your surgeon will do everything possible to remove as much loose skin as safely possible. Too much removal of skin may place you at a higher risk of complications with wound healing. It may also result in a more visible scar since pulling at a healing scar can make it wide.

Anesthesia

Generally, mini arm lift cosmetic surgery procedure is performed under general anesthesia. However, it can also be performed under local anesthesia if the patient is an ideal candidate.

Numbing

Numbing fluid will be placed by the surgeon on the treated area after inducing anesthesia. This involves the area of skin removal and liposuction.

Vaser

Vaser ultrasound technology is usually used for liquefying fat present in the area. This technology helps in ensuring an easy and smooth fat removal.

Small cannulas

Gentle yet aggressive fat removal and liposuction will be performed by the surgeon using small cannulas. The goal here is to loosen the skin and ensure that maximum amount of stubborn fat deposits can be removed from the armpit.

Tailor tacking

Tailor tacking is performed by the surgeon at this point. The arm will be placed at the exact tension that the surgeon thinks is ideal. The arm skin will be temporarily sutured. Marking for skin removal can be redrawn after doing this for best results.

Sutures and bandage

Dissolvable sutures are usually removed for sewing the skin in multiple layers. Mini arm lift plastic surgery does not require any drains. The arms will be covered in a bandage for a few days.

Recovering from a Mini Arm Lift

You may need to take pain management medications for 2 – 3 days and antibiotics for 5 days following your arm lift surgery. The surgeon may recommend you should take some time off of work for a few days. However, you would be able to use the computer and phone starting the next day.
