Belotero Balance

BELOTERO BALANCE is a prescription injection that is approved to temporarily smooth out and fill in moderate to severe nasolabial folds (the folds or wrinkles that go from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth).

 

Belotero and Juvederm are both cosmetic fillers that are used to improve the appearance of wrinkles and restore facial contours for a more youthful appearance.

Belotero Balance has a soft, gel-like consistency. The hyaluronic acid in the product binds with the water in your skin to subtly fill in lines and wrinkles. Some Belotero products have more volume, which makes them effective for enlarging your lips, cheeks, or chin.
How is it done? Before the procedure, your doctor will take your medical history.

BELOTERO BALANCE is a family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers with natural tissue integration, enabling your aesthetic practitioner to create subtle, smooth results while respecting the natural contours of your face.

 

Botox

Although Botox has so many positive benefits, both cosmetically and medically, there are also risks associated with it. Botulinum toxin in very large doses can cause Botulism, which is a rare and paralyzing illness that most commonly stems from food poisoning.

 

People also use Botox to treat excessive sweating, migraines, muscular disorders, and some bladder and bowel disorders. Botulism, an illness caused by Botulinum toxin, can cause respiratory failure and prove deadly. Just 1 gram of Botulinum toxin could kill over 1 million people.

 Botox is used in the face to treat wrinkles. The synthetic strands within Botox tell your muscles to refrain from contracting, thus relaxing the muscle and providing wrinkle-free skin. The proven and most popular areas for Botox for the face are the areas surrounding the eyes, the brows, and the forehead.

No, Botox is generally safe for use, and the injectable is FDA-approved to treat wrinkles, migraines, and excessive perspiration.

5 Things You Need to Know Before Botox

  1. Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory drugs.

  2. Be patient.

  3. Beware of complications.

  4. Know the side effects.

  5. Think long-term.

Botox is popular because it produces quick and very noticeable results: wrinkles melting away, firmer skin, and fine lines disappearing as if they were never there. Botox injections are also a minimally invasive procedure, which can be done as you relax at a Houston MedSpa, and which require no recovery time.

Yes, you can be poisoned by too much Botox! Like all medications, Botox has to be administered within the therapeutic range. Too little is not effective, and too much is an overdose. With extreme dosages (well beyond the approved amounts), the treatment could be lethal, and that’s why, technically, it could be used as rat poison.

Chemical Peels

 The list of ingredients that can be used to make a chemical peel includes ¼ cup white cane sugar, ¼ cup yogurt, 1 tbsp. baking soda, 1 cup water, 12 uncoated aspirin, lemon juice, and cotton balls. To make an AHA Chemical peel, you will first need to mix yogurt and cane sugar into a bowl.

The 5 Phases of a Chemical Peel.
Phase 1: Prepare. The skin is cleansed, toned, and wiped with a cleansing solution to de-grease the skin and prepare it for the peel to be applied.
Phase 2: Protect. A protector is applied to the more sensitive areas of the skin.
Phase 3: Mesopeel.

A chemical peel involves 3 simple steps:

  1. Prep – Depending on the peel type, prepping your skin may be as simple as a quick wipe with alcohol or acetone.

  2. Acid application – From a make-up sponge to gauze, or even a fan brush, the acid(s) is applied slowly and deliberately in a typical and repeated pattern.

 Chemical peels can improve the skin’s appearance. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, which makes it “blister” and eventually peel off. The new skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. Chemical peels can be done on the face, neck, or hands.

  • Soften wrinkles and fine lines around mouth and mouth.

  • Smooth away rough skin.

  • Help uneven pigmentation appear more even.

  • Minimize the appearance of sun damage.

  • Reduce the appearance of age spots.

 “Chemical peels use a chemical agent to dissolve cellular bonds and excess skin cells,” explains ELEMIS VP of Global Education Annet King. Although professional peels vary in strength, you don’t want to try using pro peels at home. King adds, “Always consult a well-trained professional to see what they recommend, to evaluate your response and possible contraindications. Never try this at home!” A professional can also assess what peel would be best to treat certain skin issues such as acne or hyperpigmentation.

When you think about chemical peels, you likely picture your face shedding like a snake. But in reality, it’s actually not that intense. “One misnomer about peels is that you peel,” says King. “Sometimes you can’t see the peeling, as it’s not in sheets [of skin], but you are peeling and have successfully exfoliated your skin.”

Want to look fresh-faced for a big event? Be very careful about booking a peel too close to the big day. (Remember that scene in Sex and the City when Samantha was forced to wear a veil post-peel? Yeah, let’s avoid that!) Especially important if you’ve never had a peel and don’t know how your skin is going to react.

 Just the word “peel” might have you cringing as you imagine layers of skin being blasted, but because a lot of peels today are focused on minimizing downtime, the actual procedure won’t be as harsh. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about shrieking out in pain. It’s actually post-peel when you might find your skin to be most tender.

 Are you worried something could go wrong during the procedure? Although there is always that possibility with any procedure, King states that the majority of complications happen post-peel. And they’re usually caused by a lack of compliance from the person who received the peel. So, if your dermatologist gives you instructions, follow them closely!

 Using the wrong products post-peel can cause problems. Even your usual skincare items could irritate your face. Ask your derm what gentle products you should use to reduce the likelihood of irritation.

 Light TCA chemical peels (including Obagi Blue Peels) use trichloroacetic acid to more aggressively erase wrinkles and tighten the skin, minimize enlarged pores, and even pigmentation. As TCA is more aggressive, recovery time is increased.

 Using the wrong products post-peel can cause problems. Even your usual skincare items could irritate your face. Ask your derm what gentle products you should use to reduce the likelihood of irritation.

 Chemical peels improve the appearance of aging skin by using a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of old skin. The new skin that replaces it is usually smoother and less wrinkled in appearance.

 It is not possible for chemical peels to plump up the skin. It can create an illusion of plump skin by fading away wrinkles and fine lines, which makes the skin appear smoother. Dark circles may look less prominent, but it’s just a pseudo effect.

 Glycolic is great for fine lines and general skin refreshment. The most powerful anti-aging peel will be TCA peels. TCA 13 is an excellent choice to start with for treating fine lines and pigmentation on non-sensitive skin types.

 Ensure your dermatologist is experienced in carrying out TCA peels on dark skin. Superficial peels are the safest and effective for discoloration. Salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and lactic acid are all suitable for superficial peels.

 A chemical peel can reduce many signs of aging on the face, hands, neck, and chest. They are also used to treat some skin conditions like certain types of acne and discoloration.

CoolSculpting

From what you are describing, there is a possibility that you may have developed paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. This is very rare but can occur to some patients who have been treated with CoolSculpting. Liposuction is the only way to fix it if this is the case. Definitely contact Zeltiq to see if they can help you with your situation.

 A: Now that the Coolsculpting treatment is complete, you are able to go about your normal daily activities, including working out if desired. You can expect to experience soreness and tenderness in the treated area for one to two weeks.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has certified CoolSculpting as a safe medical treatment. CoolSculpting has many benefits over traditional liposuction. It’s nonsurgical, noninvasive, and requires no recovery time. And it’s effective in reducing fat cells in a given treatment area by up to 20 to 25 percent.

CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss procedure, it just removes fat. However, it’s an effective procedure that motivates you to take a special diet and exercise routine which can ultimately lead to weight loss.

There are no extensive preparations needed before your CoolSculpting procedure. Ensure you are the correct candidate for the procedure with an initial consultation. On the day of, make sure to eat breakfast and drink plenty of water both prior to and after the procedure.

Yes. Plain and simple. CoolSculpting does work, and it works very well. Many sources affirm that CoolSculpting works. These include CoolSculpting reviews in scientific literature, CoolSculpting reviews from actual patients, CoolSculpting before and after pictures, and the ever-growing popularity of this revolutionary fat-freezing procedure.

Our experience is that diarrhea is not generally a common reaction to having CoolSculpting. There have been a couple of times that patients have mentioned that they had diarrhea post CoolSculpting in the first week after treating the lower abdomen. Some patients have more sensitive intestinal tracts.

Because this is a non-invasive procedure that involves no medications or anesthesia, CoolSculpting is safe for diabetics. Because there are no incisions made, there is no surgical wound and no risk of infection or poor healing.

CoolSculpting is not for everyone. It is not a treatment for obesity. Instead, the technique is appropriate for helping to remove small amounts of extra fat resistant to other weight-loss attempts such as diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is a safe and effective treatment for reducing body fat in many people.

CoolSculpting is not considered a weight-loss treatment. It’s a non-invasive treatment that targets stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise and is for those who are within their ideal weight range. You typically lose 20–25% of the fat in the area treated, each time you treat it.

Cutera Excel V Laser

The Excel V Laser system features the broadest set of capabilities for treating the widest range of superficial to deep vascular conditions, benign pigmented lesions, and skin revitalization concerns.

Product Info Request. excel V+ is the latest generation laser technology for vascular and pigmentation treatments. With design input from leading dermatologists, excel V+ delivers the power, precision, and performance to safely and effectively treat indications from challenging vascular and pigmentary conditions to today’s most common skin concerns.

The excel V’s premium sapphire contact cooling provides visibility through a large treatment window and continuous cooling before, during and after each pulse of the laser, giving your patients the highest level of comfort and safety.

Dermaplaning

In the hands of a professional, Dermaplaning is safe for all skin types, says Dr. Lane Smith, especially those with sun damage, fine lines, dry patches, and dull skin.

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that removes the top layers of your skin. The procedure aims to remove fine wrinkles and deep acne scarring, as well as make the skin’s surface look smooth.

What Is Dermaplaning? Dermaplaning is a skin treatment designed to smooth out the skin on the face. During a Dermaplaning treatment, an aesthetician will use a special, surgical blade to gently shave off the hair on the face and scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells. Dermaplaning helps to increase cellular turnover.

How Often Should You Dermaplane Your Face? A good frequency is once every one or two weeks. Everyone’s skin differs – so you will know how often is best for you (perhaps a Sunday ritual?) You can judge it by: once your skin starts looking dull again, doesn’t feel as smooth, or you notice the tiny hairs coming back.

Emsculpt

Emsculpt works to strengthen and tone the muscles through strategically applied electromagnetic energy. When the Emsculpt applicator is used on the muscles, it sends non-invasive HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) energy into the area.

Emsculpt is a non-surgical procedure that creates muscle definition and burns fat in your butt and around your abs and obliques. It also recently gained approval for treating biceps, triceps, thighs, and calves.

Because Emsculpt is the only one that both reduces fat and tones muscle, it can be used as a complement to other fat-loss treatments like liposuction or CoolSculpting. CoolTone, just cleared by the FDA in 2019, similarly uses magnetic energy to firm, tone, and strengthen the abs, buttocks, and thighs by stimulating muscle contractions.

Emsculpting Muscle/Fat Reduction Therapy is a non-invasive procedure/therapy with no downtime where pads are placed on the area and use High-Intense Focused Electromagnetic energy to simultaneously build muscle, burn fat, strengthen, tone, and firm.

 

EMSCULPT treatments by Chic la Vie Med Spa, Emsculpt is a one-of-a-kind non-invasive body contouring treatment that simultaneously burns fat and tones abdominal and gluteal muscles. It’s FDA-approved as the world’s first and only non-invasive butt lift, making Emsculpt an excellent alternative to a Brazilian butt lift.

Emsculpt is known for being the first and only non-surgical butt lift procedure that requires no injections and no incisions. The device induces muscular contractions, which can help increase the strength and tone of the gluteal region.

 Emsculpt, also known as M Sculpt, induces powerful contractions by stimulating muscle tissue with Highly Focused Intense Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy. Known as supramaximal contractions, these are more intense than voluntary strength-building exercises.

Emsculpt is a nonsurgical body-sculpting procedure that builds muscle and burns fat by inducing muscle contractions with electromagnetic energy. It tightens, tones, and strengthens large muscle groups of the abdomen and buttocks, and smaller areas like arms, thighs, and calves — creating more definition and reducing circumference.

 

Emsculpt can be used as a body contouring method and to help build muscle needed to start exercising confidently (as it did for Drew Barrymore). A full treatment ranges from $3,000 to $4,000, depending on the physician.

Fraxel Dual Laser

Treatments with the Fraxel restore laser are usually done every 4 weeks for a series of three to four sessions, depending on the condition being treated. Treatments with a Fraxel repair device, which are more aggressive, are generally done as a single procedure.

 Fraxel lasers are fractional resurfacing treatments. They deliver microscopic laser spots to the skin while leaving surrounding areas untouched. After treatment, the skin generates new collagen, cells, and regenerates for smoother, refreshed skin.

Fraxel Dual uses fractional laser technology to stimulate collagen production and promote new skin growth without harming surrounding tissue. It can be used on areas all over the body, not just the face.

Fraxel Repair is the most aggressive fractional laser treatment and uses carbon dioxide (CO2). While beneficial when done properly, it can cause damage if misapplied. Side effects are possible, and some individuals may need more than one treatment. The procedure is also expensive and requires consideration.

HydraFacial MD

The HydraFacial exfoliates and cleanses your skin while removing dead skin cells through suction. You’ll end up with a renewed skin layer and no downtime. Learn more here.

A HydraFacial is a multistep facial performed using a patented medical-grade device that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin using antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides.

Typically done by certified professionals, the four-step process includes cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, and hydrating with antioxidant protection. Oxygenated water is used to hydrate and remove impurities.

HydraFacials are suitable for people with sensitive skin, rosacea, or dry skin. Chemical peels may not be ideal for sensitive skin or those with skin disorders like eczema or psoriasis.

HydraFacials are suitable for people with sensitive skin, rosacea, or dry skin. Chemical peels may not be ideal for sensitive skin or those with skin disorders like eczema or psoriasis.

It addresses deep-set impurities and damaged skin cells in one in-office session. The procedure uses multiple high-grade serums to treat the skin.

The cost typically ranges between $150 and $300 per treatment, depending on location, provider experience, and treatment extent.

Offered at Chic la Vie Med Spa. For more info, contact Chic la Vie at (702) 233-8535.

Yes, it’s safe for most skin types and can be combined with other treatments like lasers, radiofrequency, or LED therapy.

HydraFacial is great for general hydration and skin refresh, while Dermalinfusion may be better for more targeted skin concerns needing customized care.

Intense Pulsed Light

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a cosmetic and medical technology used for various aesthetic and therapeutic skin treatments. It’s commonly used for hair removal, photorejuvenation (to treat pigmentation, sun damage, and thread veins), and even to alleviate dermatologic conditions like acne.

IPL emits a broader spectrum of light wavelengths (polychromatic light) in short pulses and at lower intensity than laser treatments. Laser technology, in contrast, typically uses a focused, single wavelength of light for more targeted treatment.

 

Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis gently heats the upper dermis to stimulate collagen regrowth. It also reduces redness by targeting dilated capillaries. Expect subtle, consistent improvements after each session without side effects like bruising or irritation.

Results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on individual skin types and post-treatment care. The effects can be extended with maintenance treatments and proper skincare.

No, Laser Genesis is not a fat-dissolving treatment. Confusion may arise from other non-surgical fat reduction procedures. Laser Genesis focuses on skin texture, redness, and fine lines, not fat reduction.

The price for Laser Genesis typically ranges from $150 to $350 per session. For best results, a series of five treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart is recommended.

Laser Hair Removal

Yes, it works. Laser hair removal targets and removes multiple hairs at once. People see a permanent reduction in hair after completing a full series of treatments.

The laser emits intense heat that damages individual hair follicles, which leads to a reduction in both the number and thickness of hairs over time.

Laser hair reduction is a safe, fast, and non-invasive treatment. Most patients return to normal activities immediately. It’s common for skin to feel warm or look red shortly after treatment.

Chic la Vie Medical Spa in Las Vegas uses the Candela GentleMax Pro™ system, considered the “gold standard” for laser hair reduction across all skin types. It’s known for comfort and high effectiveness.

Light Therapy

Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, is a treatment that exposes you to an artificial light source. It’s commonly used to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and other forms of depression.

Light therapy or phototherapy (also called heliotherapy) involves exposure to daylight or specific light wavelengths from sources like LEDs, fluorescent lamps, or lasers. It’s delivered for a set amount of time, often at a specific time of day.

LED light therapy involves sitting or working near a light box. The light mimics natural light and is believed to affect brain chemicals related to mood and sleep, helping those with SAD or similar conditions.

LED light therapy is a noninvasive skin treatment for conditions like acne, sun damage, and wounds. It can be done at a dermatologist’s office or at home using a specialized device.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a common aesthetic exfoliation treatment. A machine sprays fine crystal particles on the skin to remove the top layer, then vacuums up the dead skin and crystals. It helps improve the appearance and texture of your skin.

Avoid microdermabrasion if you’ve recently had a chemical peel or skin procedure—wait 2–3 weeks. Also, avoid waxing or tanning the treated skin area for several weeks prior.

Yes, at-home microdermabrasion devices can help with issues like enlarged pores. They increase blood flow to the skin’s surface, resulting in a more radiant and glowing complexion.

No, not if it’s done properly by a trained professional. It can effectively treat acne, scarring, large pores, fine lines, and wrinkles without damaging healthy skin.

Most people resume normal activities right away. Minor side effects like slight swelling or redness—similar to mild sunburn—may occur but typically subside quickly.

Microneedling

Yes, it works by encouraging your skin to produce more collagen. The micro-injuries created by the needles trigger a healing response, leading to the development of new collagen-rich tissue.

It helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines by boosting natural elastin and collagen production, making skin firmer and more youthful.

It improves skin texture, reduces scarring and blackheads, treats acne, exfoliates, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and evens out skin tone and hyperpigmentation.

 

Some temporary redness and bruising are normal. When performed in sterile conditions by a trained professional, the risk of side effects is low.

Also known as the vampire facial, it combines microneedling with an infusion of the client’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP). It improves skin firmness and treats issues like acne scars and blemishes.

Blood is drawn from the patient, spun in a centrifuge to extract the PRP, then applied to the skin during a microneedling session to enhance healing and rejuvenation.

Follow your doctor’s aftercare instructions, including taking prescribed pain medication and icing the treated area. Swelling and redness usually subside within a few days.

PDO Thread lift

PDO threads come in two main types: Non-Barbed Threads Mono-filament threads Braided threads Barbed Threads Unilateral vs. bilateral Uni-directional vs. bi-directional vs. z-type Cutting barbs vs. molding barbs

  • Offers a comprehensive approach to facial aesthetics

  • Provides gradual, natural-looking results

  • Non-surgical and convenient

  • Customizable to patient needs

  • Results can be long-lasting

 PDO Thread Lifts improve sagging skin and texture, especially around the cheeks and lower face. The treatment complements other lifting techniques like Ultherapy. Learn more

The skin is first mapped with directional vectors to guide the lift. Then, the treatment area is numbed with anesthetic cream and disinfected before threads are inserted.

PRP FaceLift

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is used medically to treat leaking blood vessels in the retina, most commonly in conditions like proliferative diabetic retinopathy, where weak new vessels form and leak.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck.

PRP stimulates healing in the scalp, rejuvenating cells to help them regrow hair. Blood is drawn from the patient, processed, and the PRP is injected into the scalp.

PRP therapy involves a three-step process: drawing the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the plasma, and injecting it into the scalp to support hair growth.

PRP is used to treat age-related aesthetic concerns such as dark under-eye circles, fine lines, sagging skin, reduced firmness, and uneven skin tone.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a non-surgical alternative to a facelift, targeting sagging skin and wrinkles on the face, neck, chest, and brow. It uses FDA-cleared ultrasound technology to stimulate natural collagen production, creating a lifted, youthful appearance.

Some patients achieve results with just one Ultherapy session, while others may require a series of up to 3 treatments. For ongoing results, annual treatments are recommended due to the natural aging process.

Ultherapy is a noninvasive procedure known for its safety and collagen-boosting effects. However, there have been reports of side effects by some users. Consulting with a certified professional ensures informed decisions based on your skin condition.

There is typically no downtime after Ultherapy. You can resume daily activities immediately, including work and exercise. Visible results may begin to appear within a few days, depending on your body’s collagen response.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a highly effective filler, but proper injection technique is critical. Only choose experienced providers who use it regularly, as improper application can increase risks.

 

 

Sculptra is safe and effective for most healthy individuals regardless of skin type. However, it’s not recommended if you’re allergic to Lidocaine or have skin infections or rashes.

Initially, you may see a temporary plumping effect. Full results develop gradually over weeks as collagen production increases and skin volume improves.

Only experienced MDs should perform Sculptra injections. It’s an advanced procedure requiring deep familiarity with the product.

Low-dose prednisone typically won’t impact Sculptra, but fluid retention can make treated areas appear swollen. As the fluid resolves, you may notice volume changes.

Sculptra offers subtle, longer-lasting results by stimulating collagen deep within the skin, unlike other fillers that only provide surface-level volume.

Sculptra can be safely used after fillers like Restylane or Perlane. In fact, combining them can enhance cheek projection and contouring.

Sculptra can be used in both severe and mild facial volume loss cases, from deep wrinkles to general skin rejuvenation. It’s versatile for early or advanced aging concerns.

Venus Freeze

Yes. Venus Freeze is an anti-aging and anti-cellulite treatment designed to tighten the skin, smooth wrinkles, and reduce the appearance of cellulite. It promotes a refreshed, youthful appearance.

 A: Venus Freeze Plus™ is FDA-cleared and Health Canada–licensed for non-invasive treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles, cellulite reduction, skin tightening, and temporary stretch mark reduction.

Yes, Venus Freeze uses safe radiofrequency technology suitable for all skin tones—including darker complexions.
Can I do it during my lunch break?
Absolutely. Sessions are quick, typically lasting only 15 to 30 minutes.

Venus Freeze is ideal for stimulating collagen and promoting skin tightening. It’s especially helpful after fat loss to address loose skin and improve body contour non-surgically.
