Non-Surgical Facelift 

Plasma Pen is a unique non-surgical way to achieve a subtle facelift when you want to avoid facial plastic surgery. Plasma Pen will fight facial lines and wrinkles, volume loss due to collagen breakdown, and sagging facial skin.  

This innovative treatment will target the conspicuous aging signs on your face, while subtly lifting your sagging skin to restore a more youthful looking face. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides Plasma Pen to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations.  

Safe and Proven Treatment 

The Plasma Pen non-surgical facelift is a completely safe and clinically proven treatment. It utilizes an advanced skin lifting and rejuvenation device to tighten and lift your facial skin in a non-invasive manner.  

The FDA has approved Plasma Pen device, and it is also widely used in Europe and other countries around the world. In clinical terms, the Plasma Pen is designed to perform fibroblast therapy to stimulate collagen generation in your skin. 

How does it work? 

The trained Plasma Pen medical provider will use the device to trigger plasma fibro-blasts in the underlying facial tissue. The plasma will considerably lift, tighten, regenerate, and resurface the targeted areas of your facial skin.  

In technical terms, the Plasma Pen converts electrical energy into diatomic molecular nitrogen in gaseous form. The high precision device will transmit the energized gas to the surface of your skin from above (without making any direct contact with the skin).   

This will cause micro-trauma in the topmost skin layers (epidermis) while disrupting and heating the deeper skin structure at the same time through thermal conduction. This is called the process of fibroblasting. Fibroblasts are essentially connective tissue cells in your body that create new collagen fibers.  

The production of new collagen in the deeper facial tissue will continue to occur over several weeks and months. It will volumize your face and provide a gentle lift to the sagging areas of your facial skin. 

Areas Treated with Plasma Pen  

Plasma Pen device can work most effectively to improve the loose skin in your face and neck area, even though it can address various other body parts as wells. Your treatment provider will determine whether you are a candidate for non-surgical facelift with Plasma Pen. Specific areas that can be significantly enhanced with Plasma Pen treatment include:  

• Smile lines and nasolabial folds – These are the lines run from the sides of your nose down to the corners of your mouth.  
• Marionette lines – These are folds or creases that run straight from the corners of the mouth down to your chin.  

• Accordion lines – When you are smiling, these are the lines that may occur outside of the mouth.  
• Jaw line and jowl tightening  
• Forehead lines  
• Neck bands and turkey wattle neck  
• Smoker’s lines  
• Crow’s feet around your eyes  
• Acne scars 
• Lines, wrinkles and bags around upper and lower eyelids

Forever Young BBL is a safe and reliable broadband laser treatment designed to renew your skin appearance through skin resurfacing. You can expect to achieve a smoother texture and more youthful looking skin with this treatment. 

The treatment involves minimal downtime or discomfort, and results are more natural and sustainable compared to traditional light based therapies. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides Forever Young BBL skin resurfacing treatment to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations. 

Treatment Areas

Forever Young BBL treatment is ideal when you want to enhance your skin appearance in the face, neck, shoulders, chest and the back of your hands. Sun damage and harsh weather elements often affect these exposed areas, which you can improve with BBL treatment. 

Broadband lasers can specifically improve the following skin conditions: 

• Rough or uneven skin texture 
• Loose skin occurring due to loss of elasticity 
• Freckles, age spots and other pigmented lesions 
• Vascular lesions, rosacea, and redness 

How does Forever Young BBL Work?

Your treatment provider will focus the BBL laser device on the targeted sites in your skin to deliver controlled light energy. As the precise laser beams will heat the deeper skin layers, it will trigger collagen fibrils formation as well as cellular regeneration from within. 

If you are bothered by the appearance of brown spots, your provider will aim the Forever Young BBL device on the precise zones to allow the laser heat to penetrate the tissue and reach the unwanted pigmentation to break it down. Any pigment fragments remaining will peel or slough off within one to two weeks. 

Your skin may appear reddish because of conspicuous blood vessels in the upper skin layers. The broadband light energy will cause these vessles to close. The disintegrated vessel residue will get naturally absorbed in your body over a few weeks, resulting in smoother and brighter skin complexion. 

The innovative cooling features included in the Forever Young BBL device will help ensure that you experience minimal discomfort during the treatment session and the skin in the treated sites does not get overheated. 

Treatment Sessions  

Your Forever Young BBL treatment can be performed using only just a topical anesthetic in the affected sites.

Recovery 

Following your BBL therapy session, you may experience some redness in the treated site that feels like sunburn. If the treatment is more intensive, you may develop mild swelling, which will subside quickly. At first, the pigmentation may turn darker before it peels off within 10 to 15 days.

Skin Resurfacing Treatment

If you are worried about the early onset of aging signs, or have been struggling with facial skin imperfections for years, you require a safe and proven skin rejuvenation treatment that works best with your unique skin concerns and personal cosmetic goals.  

Laser Genesis is a time-tested laser treatment that can improve your fine lines and wrinkles on the face, even out your complexion, mitigate the effect of acne scars, narrow enlarged pores, and even resolve certain types of active acne. The cutting-edge Laser Genesis device from Cutera is an ideal solution for facial skin revitalization, which is safe and involves very little downtime.  

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides Laser Genesis treatment for skin toning and scar removal to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations. 

How does Laser Genesis Work? 

Your treatment provider will focus the Laser Genesis device on the targeted areas of the skin so that controlled heat energy from the laser beams penetrates into the deeper skin tissue.  

This will stimulate the skin’s self-repair mechanism and trigger the formation of new collagen fibers, while restoring an even skin tone and healthy skin texture. It will also smooth out acne scars and some other facial scars, if any. 

Laser Genesis is a non-ablative laser, which means that you will not have any significant wounds on your skin’s surface, while still receiving the best benefits of laser skin resurfacing. Laser heat will also destroy harmful bacteria under the top skin layers to help prevent any future acne outbreaks. 

The gradual and gentle laser treatment process will promote the cellular turnover rate, reduce enlarged pores, improve acne scarring, and even address more severe conditions such as rosacea. You may be able to achieve your cosmetic skin care goals in three to six treatment sessions, depending on your needs. Recovery time is almost negligible with this treatment.  

What Conditions can Laser Genesis Treat? 

While Laser Genesis is highly effective in improving acne scars and providing an even-looking skin tone, it also addresses a number of other skin imperfections. In fact, it can also work well in the neck and chest areas, apart from the face. Some of the common skin conditions which can be corrected with Laser Genesis include:  

• Mild wrinkles and fine lines 
• Small to medium acne scars and surgery scars 
• Some types of active acne 
• Irregular skin texture  
• Enlarged pores 
• Redness and rosacea 
• Brown spots and age spots Angiomas 
• Port Wine Stains 
• Venous Lakes 
• Spider Veins  

Treatment Experience  

As a non-ablative treatment, Laser Genesis is not going to cause you pain. However, you may experience a mild tingling sensation and warmth in the treatment areas. Some patients in fact find the treatment rather soothing.  

A single treatment session will be completed in about 30 minutes, but could be longer if multiple treatment areas are involved. You can expect to achieve optimal results in about four to six months after the treatment sessions have been completed.

Radiesse dermal filler cosmetic treatment can safely and efficiently reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines as well as add volume to depleted areas of the face. During the pre-op consultation, the dermatologist will offer the patient in-depth information on various aspects of the procedure. 

Some dermatologists may choose to showcase Radiesse dermal filler before and after images to new patients during this appointment. This enables the patient to develop reasonable expectations from the filler treatment.

Additionally, these photos make the consultation process more transparent. Upon understanding the potential results, the patent can make a more judicious decision. 

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides Radiesse dermal filler injections to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.

Visual Proof for Prospective Patients

The treatment provider can assist a new patient feel more confident and reassured about the filler injection procedure and its potential outcomes by displaying Radiesse before and after pictures. After viewing before and after pictures of previous patients, a new patient can understand the extent to which Radiesse can enhance their appearance. 

Patients usually derive comfort from the fact that if the treatment has successfully improved the appearance of previous patients, it can potentially help them achieve similar outcomes as well. Before and after images offer them physical evidence that creates trust and transparency between the patient and treatment provider. 

This is just one of the many reasons Dr. Richards is successful. He allows people to see his work from any where in the world. They could be protecting the rhinos in Africa or buying some donuts in a donut shop – as long as they have Internet access they can see these amazing images. 

A Picture is worth a Thousand Words

Radiesse dermal filler ‘before and after’ images can present the real story in a much more expressive manner than mere words can. While the provider will inform the patient verbally on every facet of the injection procedure in detail to help them develop reasonable expectations, but words can sometimes be confusing and open to interpretation. 

‘Before and after’ pictures, on the other hand, can deliver a compelling and strong visual impact. Pictures are not constricted by the barrier of language and showcase the real story. However, the dermatologist should make sure that these photos have not been edited or photoshopped in any manner as this can mislead the patient.  

The saying “A picture is worth more than a thousand words” certainly holds true in the case of Radiesse before and after images. 

Use of Social Media Forums to Create Awareness

Today, social media platforms enjoy near-universal appeal. Plastic surgeons can harness the immense power of these social platforms to present Radiesse before and after images to raise awareness about this innovative dermal filler procedure. 

Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and Facebook are popular imaging sharing sites. Disseminating pictures on these forums can significantly improve a treatment provider’s efforts to connect with and inform their target audiences.  

Radiesse dermal filler ‘before and after’ photos can play a vital role if they are used effectively on social media platforms to connect with potential patients. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for Radiesse dermal filler injectable treatment.

Dermal filler injectable procedures for the rejuvenation of facial skin, such as Radiesse, presently ranks as the second most popular non-surgical cosmetic dermatology treatments in the US after Botox. 

Radiesse is a robust dermal filler injectable treatment. It has received FDA-approval to add temporary fullness to depleted areas of the face and reduce the effects of aging on the skin. 

The main component of Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite. This element differentiates Radiesse from various other filler treatments and offers more sustainable outcomes with a single in-office treatment.

Besides offering long-lasting outcomes, Radiesse dermal filler injectable treatment creates natural-looking results by filling in deep creases and wrinkles in various areas of the face. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides facial filler injections to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities. 

Calcium Hydroxylapatite 

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) refers to a synthetic but completely biocompatible ingredient that has been used safely and predictably by medical professionals for more than two decades. The Radiesse gel contains microspheres of 25 to 45 diameter CaHA microns that are suspended within it.

The provider will use small injections to deliver this gel beneath the skin. Radiesse offers facial enhancement by eliminating the appearance of moderate to severe facial creases and folds. Patients with facial volume loss because of disease or other reasons may also benefit from Radiesse.

Radiesse dermal tissue filler provides sustainable improvements in various facial sites to address problems such as nasolabial folds and glabellar lines. It also offers sub-dermal support to areas such as tear troughs, marionette lines, brows, nose, perioral area, chin, and lips. In addition, it can effectively soften the appearance of saucerized acne scars.

Longevity of Results

A single Radiesse dermal filler medical spa treatment provides anti-aging results to patients that can last for up to two years. Standard dermal filler injectable treatments comprising hyaluronic acid typically provide results that can last from six months to one year.

Radiesse, in comparison, offers outcomes that can sustain for a longer period as it contains CaHA microspheres. This enables the volume from the procedure to last for a prolonged duration. 

When Radiesse is injected as tiny microspheres, it creates a type of scaffolding that promotes the development of new tissue which is similar to the surrounding tissue. 

After the CaHA particles reach the deeper layers of the dermis, it encourages the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Radiesse creates this new fibroblastic in-growth without calcification, which offers the patient sustainable and natural-looking outcomes.

New collagen production develops volume in the deep tissue layers within the treated areas. This offers patients the dual advantages of instant volumizing and production of new collagen over time, enabling Radiesse outcomes to last longer than standard dermal fillers. 

Touch-ups with Radiesse

Radiesse offers another benefit, which is that the remaining, unused contents of a gel syringe can be recapped and stored for use on the same patient within the next three months. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for cosmetic facial filler treatments.

What is the difference between Radiesse and Juvederm?

Juvederm and Radiesse are soft tissue fillers used to enhance fullness in the face and hands. Both treatments are minimally invasive as well as approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

These treatments can be undertaken by a medical professional licensed to administer such dermal injections. Some individuals experience immediate outcomes, and most people experience only mild side effects, such as bruising, tenderness, and itching.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides dermal filler injections to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations.

Juvederm

Juvederm dermal fillers comprise an injectable gel with a hyaluronic acid (HA) base that can add fullness to the face at the injection point. Juvederm can enhance the volume in the cheek area, smooth out “parentheses” or “marionette” lines that extend from the mouth corners, smooth vertical lip lines or augment the lip.

Radiesse

Radiesse makes use of calcium-based microspheres to treat creases and wrinkles on the face and hands. The microspheres encourage the body to generate collagen. Collagen refers to a protein that is found naturally in the body and offers skin its strength and elasticity.

Radiesse can be used on the same regions of the body as Juvederm, namely, the laugh lines around the mouth, cheeks, lips, and lip lines. In addition, it can also be used on chin wrinkles, the pre-jowl fold, and on the backs of the hands.

Dermal Filler Components

Juvederm Ingredients

Juvederm uses HA, which is a type of carbohydrate that is found naturally in the body tissues. Dermal fillers typically comprise HA from bacteria or rooster combs (the fleshy ridge atop a rooster’s head). Some HA is cross-linked or chemically modified to sustain longer.

Additionally, Juvederm contains a tiny amount of an anesthetic called lidocaine to make the injection more comfortable for the patient.

Radiesse Ingredients

Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral found in human bones and teeth. The calcium is suspended in a gel-like, water-based solution. The calcium and the gel are absorbed by the body over time after promoting the development of fresh collagen.

What is the Time Taken for each Procedure?

The doctor can inject dermal fillers in a relatively brief amount of time in an office setting.

Juvederm Treatment Session

Depending on the area of the face undergoing Juvederm treatment, the procedure takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

Radiesse Treatment Session

The time taken for a Radiesse treatment is around 15 minutes, including the application of a topical anesthetic, such as lidocaine.

Comparing the Outcomes of Juvederm and Radiesse

Both types of injectable fillers offer instant results. The complete results of Radiesse may take one year to manifest.

Juvéderm Results

One clinical study with 208 participants showed favorable outcomes for lip augmentation with Juvederm Ultra XC.

After three months following the treatment, 79 percent of participants reported at least a 1-point improvement in the fullness of their lips based on a 1-to-5 scale.

More than 75 percent of the participants still felt satisfied with the appearance of the lips after one year, reporting sustainable improvement in smoothness and softness.

Radiesse Outcomes

The manufacturer of Radiesse, Merz Aesthetics, released study and survey data with information on satisfaction levels from people regarding improving the volume of the back of their hands.

In this study, eighty-five participants had both hands injected with Radiesse. At the three-month mark, 97.6 percent of the hands treated were reported as improved.

Laser hair removal is a proven technique for the permanent elimination of hair on all skin types compared to traditional hair removal methods such as waxing, shaving, and plucking. 

Laser hair removal has become a sought-after procedure over the years as both women and men seek a smoother and impeccable personal appearance. 

The innovative Cutera Xeo laser technology is an advanced procedure for the permanent elimination of hair. This is a safe and predictable treatment that currently ranks among the most popular procedures in the United States. 

Cutera was the leader in the development of a high-powered Nd: YAG laser for hair removal that provided patients with a safe and effective hair removal option, even for darker-complexioned people. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides laser hair removal treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

Cutera Xeo Laser System

The cutting-edge Cutera Xeo laser system has made issues such as painful razor bumps, waxing, and time-consuming shaving a thing of the past for many individuals. It provides patients with long-lasting and superior results with safe, in-office treatment. This innovative laser procedure enables both women and men to enjoy hairless skin for a prolonged duration.  

Cutera Xeo system can eliminate hair in almost any body area, with the exception of the eyelids. The treatment provider can precisely target hairs with this laser. It also involves minimal downtime and discomfort.

Ideal Candidates

A solid candidate for Cutera Xeo laser hair removal system is almost any healthy person who is unhappy with the existence of body hair in any part of their body. However, people using specific meds or antibiotics will need to stop the drugs for a particular period before and after the laser procedure.

This procedure may not be suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, individuals who cannot avoid sun exposure for some time, and people with red, blonde, or light-colored hair.

How does it work?

The provider will direct the Cutera Xeo laser device over the treatment site. The laser will deliver targeted laser beams of light pulses to the follicle of the unwanted hair. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the light energy as the laser penetrates the skin. 

This burst of energy will destroy the carbon in the hair follicle in a painless way, destroying the hair completely and preventing it from re-growing in that follicle. 

Procedure 

This procedure can be undertaken in-office and may involve only one treatment session. Depending on the extent of hair removal, the procedure may take a few minutes to a few hours to complete.

The small hand-held laser device delivers the light beams directly into the hair follicles while the outermost skin layer is cooled simultaneously to prevent harm to the surrounding healthy tissue. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for laser hair removal treatments.

At present, dermal filler injectable treatments for facial skin rejuvenation, such as Radiesse, rank as the second most sought-after non-surgical cosmetic treatments in the US after Botox. 

Radiesse is a powerful FDA-approved dermal filler injection that adds temporary volume to depleted facial areas as well as reduces signs of aging on the face. 

The primary component in Radiesse is Calcium hydroxylapatite. This component distinguishes Radiesse from other dermal fillers and offers more sustainable results with a single in-office treatment. 

Apart from offering long-lasting results, Radiesse injections create natural-looking outcomes by filling in deep wrinkles and creases in various facial sites from within.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides Radiesse dermal filler injections to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite 

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) refers to a synthetic but complete biocompatible ingredient that has been used safely and effectively by medical professionals for the past 20 years. The Radiesse gel comprises microspheres of 25 to 45 diameter CaHA microns that are suspended in it.

This gel is delivered beneath the skin using fine gauge needles. Radiesse provides facial rejuvenation by reducing the appearance of moderate to severe facial folds and creases. Patients who are experiencing a loss in facial volume due to disease or other factors may also benefit from Radiesse. 

Radiesse dermal filler offers long-lasting improvement in various areas of the face to treat issues such as glabellar lines and nasolabial folds. Radiesse provides sub-dermal support to regions such as perioral area, nose, tear troughs, brows, lips, chin, oral commissures, and marionette lines. In addition, it effectively softens the appearance of saucerized acne scars.

Longevity of Outcomes

With a single Radiesse dermal filler med spa treatment, the patient can enjoy anti-aging outcomes that sustain for up to two years. A standard dermal filler injectable treatment consisting of hyaluronic acid usually offers outcomes with the sustainability of six months to one year. 

Radiesse results last longer as it contains CaHA microspheres which enable the volume from the treatment to last for a prolonged duration. 

Upon being injected in the form of small microspheres, Radiesse offers a type of scaffolding that encourages the development of new tissue which is similar to the surrounding tissue. 

Once the CaHA particles reach the deeper skin layers, it prompts the production of fresh collagen and elastin fibers. Radiesse helps develop new fibroblastic in-growth without calcification, which provides the patient with longer-lasting and natural results.

Fresh collagen production delivers volume to the deep tissue inside the treated sites. This provides the dual benefits of immediate volumizing and the generation of fresh collagen over a prolonged period, making Radiesse outcomes more sustainable in comparison to average filler injectables. 

Touch-ups with Radiesse

Radiesse provides patient with another benefit, which is that when a gel syringe is opened for use, the substance remaining unused after the initial treatment can be recapped and stored for future use on the same patient. This material can be injected into the same patient within the next three months.
