I have been a patient of Michelle Ware for around 10 years. I wouldn't let anyone inject into my face but her. I just tried cool sculpting on my abdomen today and am looking forward to the results. Here are photos of my results from the flanks. Can't wait to see my results on my abdomen as was much worse than my flanks. Will post pictures
I've been seeing Dr. Ware for a couple years and am finally around to writing a review. If you are looking for cosmetic procedures you will find Dr. Ware is skilled, knowledgeable, leading edge, and also compassionate and caring. She will listen to your concerns and is both honest and kind. You will leave uplifted and looking better!!
I had a series of fraxel treatments to reverse agespots. She encouraged me to have my nick and hands lasered. I am much more confident. The staff was friendly and efficient. I plan on contuning with some fillers.
I have decided to write a review because I am disheartened by the overwhelming response by doctors on this site to discredit patients' experience. I had botox injected 8 days ago under eyes and forehead. This was not my first time, in fact I have been getting injections since I was 27. I would like to say that my doctor is very kind and has always been very professional. I am more concerned with responses on this site from other doctors. I had a bad allergic reaction. Two days after injections I developed a rash or hives on face and neck, swelling, dryness and the most painful sensation of my throat closing. The redness and burning sensation when I washed my face was primarily near injection sites.. My symptoms have alleviated on face but I am left with this terrible lingering pain in throat. I called my doctor and as expected she denied this could be from the Botox. Doctors on this site repeatedly tell people that their symptoms or side effects can not be from Botox, it's absurd! My doctor told me it was more than likely Lytera a new product she sold me. This was not an unreasonable assumption. I of course discontinued this product as soon as I had negative symptoms so that I could rule it out as possible source. I am now using the product again and have no reaction to it. This means that what happened was from the Botox. It also means despite popular belief from doctors comments that people can develop an allergy over time. I know this to be true because I also had this experience with glue used for eyelash extensions. I had them for over a year and then I developed severe allergy to the glue, I tried it twice after the first negative reaction and each time my eyes swelled, my point here is that your body can develop an allergy over time. I guess what concerns me the most is how uninformed doctors are about possible negative side effects and that they continue to discredit patient experience. They say that if it was real allergic reaction it would have been instant... Not true! They say if you had it safely before then Botox can't be the culprit.... Not true!
At the Los Feliz Med Spa, the cost of CoolSculpting treatment is dependent on the number of treatments required for the results desired. Typically two to three treatments would be required in order to see a 20 to 30 percent reduction, such treatment should be delivered by a medical provider experienced in CoolSculpting procedures after a proper consultation.
Belotero Balance is definitely a safe choice when it comes to injecting the lips. While there are always associated risks with any filler such as causing lumps, I personally have not experienced this as being an issue with Belotero. The source of complications with lip filler can often be a result of the injector's technique so always be sure that you are being treated by a qualified medical professional with aesthetic experience. Belotero Balance has a FDA approval for the smoothing out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as temporarily adding volume for up to 6 months. I've seen it last on average 4-6 months. I really enjoy using Belotero for the lips because it is so natural looking. While reinjection is typically necessary sooner than you might be used to with some other fillers used in the lips, it's natural appearance makes it a huge plus.
Botox cosmetic is an amazing product that is the gold standard in the treatment of wrinkles. FDA approved for the treatment of brow lines and crows feet any off label use of Botox is administered on a highly individualized basis given the patients needs and anatomy. To answer your question, I can say that yes it is certainly possible but I would procede with caution.
