Sculptra BLT ™

As we age, we often focus on our face and not our bodies. Just like we lose collagen in our faces, we lose collagen in other areas. Sculptra BLT ™ may be your solution.

Sculptra is a unique filler. It stimulates YOU to make collagen. We love it for the face, restoring volume to the cheeks, temples and other areas of the face to give more youthful contours.

Sculptra is now being used to tighten skin in problem areas that can be difficult to treat. The chest, knees, abdomen, arms and hands.

Sculptra when used in these areas requires a different dilution. It is injected in a technique that has been trademarked by Nurse Injector Leslie Fletcher. Dr. Kelley is one of a few practitioners trained in this technique.

Exilis and Sculptra-The 1, 2 Punch

As we age we lose bone, fat and collagen. This can result of youthful facial contours. The youthful face is heart shaped with more volume in the upper face and less in the lower face. I love the combination of Sculptra and Exilis skin tightening for rejuvenating the face. Exilis uses radiofrequency to heat the skin stimulating collagen and elastin production. Sculptra is injected where volume has been lost- the temples, the cheeks, in front of the ears and the lower cheeks. Combining these two treatment modalities creates a synergy. Both procedures require the body to make collagen. The results occur over time and are very natural in appearance.  A series of 3 or 4 Exilis treatments is recommended and 2-3 sessions of Sculptra. The result is more gradual, less obvious to others but can restore the heart shape to the face and firm up the skin.

Kybella Atlanta update

Now that we have added Kybella to our office procedures, I want to give you an update on what we are seeing with our patietns. Kybella double chin treatment destroys fat cells under the chin. Our patients are complaining of minimal discomfort with the injections. I have found that using a numbing cream before the procedure makes it more comfortable. Also, using a small needle size helps with comfort. The next day there is swelling, but it typically can be camouflaged and patients are able to go back to normal activity. Most of our patients are seeing results after the second treatment. It appears that the fat destruction process may continue for longer that the 4 weeks. Combining this procedure with Exilis skin tightening helps improve the tone and texture of the skin. I also recommend a neck firming cream be used to enhance results.

Kybella is another tool in our tool box of injectable facial rejuvenation procedures. An overall plan for your face may include fillers for your cheeks, Botox for wrinkles and PRP for skin rejuvenation. 

Kybella Double Chin Treatment

We are excited to announce that we now offer the Kybella treatment that targets that dreaded double chin. Kybella works by targeting and destroying fat cells.  During this procedure injections of the fat burner medication are performed. For comfort, we offer numbing cream prior to the injections.  The procedure does not take more than 15 minutes. There is no downtime and this is a nonsurgical procedure. Because there is destruction of fat cells, there is some swelling. Typically, two treatments are needed, spaced 6 weeks apart. Here are some results.
