Volume Loss Treatments

Silhouette InstaLift

Silhouette InstaLift is the best in thread face-lifting technology, and FDA approved.

We lovingly refer to them as PDO threads on steroids in our clinic. We want everyone to do the Instalift that want natural facial lifting and collagen regeneration.

Why? Because they lift better and have more collagen regeneration than other PDO lifting threads. Resulting in better results and happier clients.

How? The Silhouette InstaLift is a bidirectional suture that has cones on in made out of the suture material. It is placed in the fat layer of the skin in the best vectors for lifting the desired area. Local anesthesia is used and there is minimal pain and discomfort. The sutures are anchored for the best lifting then cut.

Best results are with 3-5 sutures placed in the face. An immediate lift can be seen, in one month the collagen regeneration is able to be seen and even better at 2 months. The beauty of this procedure is not only its effectiveness but also the continued improvement and antiaging effect.

Facial Fat Transfer

A very natural long lasting filler treatment. In an outpatient procedure we do a mini-liposuction and then use your micronized fat with PRP and a free HA to provide all over facial, re-volumizing.

We love facial fat transfer because it is natural and long lasting, but is also more economical than all other volumizing treatments on the market. We are able to add much more volume for a fixed price than a per syringe price of dermal fillers. Because of the stem cells in the fat the skin always gets more beautiful over time as well. We use the newer Asian and European micronized fat technique, which is basically a smaller particular than traditional fat transfer. Micronized fat fills nicer and has less down time (facial swelling) than the traditional technique.

Are you a good candidate for Micronized Facial Fat Transfer:

You want to restore lost volume
You desire a more durable option for volume replacement
You desire a natural filler
You are comfortable with a minimally invasive procedure
Have previously used temporary fillers
Have minimal skin laxity
Overall Health
Nonsmoker

**We have treatments to tighten the skin in cases of laxity and recommend these beforehand.
**Avoid NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin etc) and Omegas 7 days before procedure and 3 days after.

PDO Mono Threads for Collagen Induction

In areas of skin laxity we can tighten by place a mesh of straight or mon PDO threads in a tic-tac-toe to star pattern depending on the area. This will give an initial tightening due to thread placement but the real results come in the following months with the collagen regeneration stimulated but he PDO thread placement .

PDO Thread Lip Enhancement

A great natural and regenerative lip enhancement treatment:

Body of the lips

Redensity 2

Our favorite under eye filler that lasts 12 months and lightens dark under circles as well as replaces lost volume in under eye hollows.

Under eye hollows or “bags” make us look tired and un-refreshed. A simple filler procedure done with a cannula can takes years off your appearance. We love Redensity 2 as it also lightens the darkness under the eyes because in addition to HA it also contains vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that we use in the production of new skin and collagen.

Voluma

An HA Filler that lasts 1-2 years, excellent for lifting nasolabial folds or jowlsand and defining the outer cheekbones. We love the elegant outer cheekbone lift that gives a “Russian Princess” cheek enhancement. Injected deep in the dermis or on the bone, gives a more of what you see is what you get result with minimal downtime.

We recommend annual touchups for Voluma, often more than 1 syringe is required

Volbella Lip Filler

An HA filler that last 18 months, excellent for lip enhancement that is natural and soft and never hard. Volbella is excellent for lines around the mouth as well, especially the “barcode”.

Upon patient consent we prefer to perform lip enhancement after a dental block for the most patient comfort.

We recommend to repeat this filler once a year.

PRP Gel Lip Filler

PRP, the growth factors from your own blog are isolated and turned into a gel for thicker filling using a Spanish protocol.

This is excellent to build up your own collagen in your lips, heal scar tissue in the lips, and is more natural than lip filler. This is also a nice option for those considering a lip filler but feel unsure.

We recommend a series of 3, one month apart initially and then every 6 months for touch up.

Bellafill

The only FDA approved 5 year filler. Excellent for acne scarring and natural long lasting facial volume replacement.

Bellafill is different from other fillers because it provides volume that is both instant and long lasting. Bellafill is not a hyaluronic acid filler which typically last 6 months to a year. Bellafill creates lasting improvement for 5 years in your skin. Bellafill is composed of 80% collagen gel and 20% PMMA microspheres. The collagen adds immediate volume and lift for instant results. The PMMA microspheres provide a scaffold that supports your own natural collagen production over time.

Blood Ozone

“Greetings: For those searching for a healing experience along with an impressive array of anti-aging, non-invasive procedures, I strongly advise checking out Dr. Melanie and her impressive, professional staff. Don’t let the relaxed friendly atmosphere deceive you. These are effective, well trained and caring professionals. While Dr. Melanie is quite engaging and disarming, be advised that she really knows her healing craft, and is up to date on the latest, advanced procedures. My experience was with the Blood Ozone, which I had thoroughly looked into and was rewarded with very effective treatment and care. I would urge anyone to investigate this modality, and Dr. Melanie and her staff provides the best you can get. I needed relief from cancer radiation side effects. The treatments reversed the negative side effects. My energy and vitality quickly returned from the first treatment through the third. Actually it was quite amazing and the clinical environment is really what the medical profession should aspire to – friendly, caring, while professional and effective. From the onset, Dr. Melanie sat me down and spent the time with me in order to truly tailor just what I needed – far from the assembly line approach previously experienced and delivered from the mainstream. Her staff is experienced and literate- obviously employed with great care and consideration. I was treated like a real person from the beginning throughout. My wife experienced the same and is also progressing nicely. We feel like we have found a medical home We are so happy and grateful to have found her along with her super staff. ”

There is just something special and unique in their techniques and I can not express enough that you KNOW THEY CARE!!!! You walk away already feeling better and seeing improvements. I want to tell the world about this. You just have to go to know what I mean. Love yourself enough to JUST GO there! I Promise, you'll thank yourself!"

Miraculous Ozone

“I am retired. I play the violin, read, take care of my family and cats. I was diagnosed with dry macular degeneration three years ago, and was not able to be treated by traditional doctors. My condition feels like you’re looking through smoke that doesn’t clear up. Not being able to read books and music kept getting worse. I made an appointment with Dr. Mel on April 15, 2015. After my first ozone treatment with IV and UV light, I noticed that I could read the numbers on my scale. The next week, I noticed that I could read my speedometer numbers in my car. Just last night before my 6th treatment, I noticed I could read my digital alarm numbers from across the room. I believe I will keep getting better.”

Eleanor, Age 84

Migraines, Eye Vision Facials and more

"I don't usually write reviews but I have been treated by Dr. Melanie Icard since she opened her practice and she has been AWESOME. She is over the top and very much different from any other clinics, she is a wonderful doctor that has treated/controlled with ozone therapy my terrible migraines and helped improve my eye vision. She takes time and listens to all your health concerns and comes up with solutions in different ways to come to the root of the problem, it can be by ordering lab work, help you with the diet plan, detox, vitamins plan,etc.

What I like from her is that she is very human and her assistant Neomi is great too. It is a very relaxed environment and the facial treatments are the latest, I just tried the mesotherapy and European facial with growth factors and love the results. I highly recommend Dr melani Icard, she has been amazing treating my health issues, have educated me with my diet and vitamins that I should be taking on the daily basis plus her facial treatments have rejuvenated me."
