Whether it’s the skin on your face, chin, breast, stomach, arms or thighs, life experiences like weight change, pregnancy, lifestyle change, sun damage, and simply aging are causing our skin to wrinkle, sag and lose its elasticity. There’s only so much that wrinkle creams, firming lotions, diets & exercise, ultrasound and laser treatments can do. But there’s still hope! ThermiTight™ skin tightening treatment will help you smooth out the sagging skin in no time!

ThermiRF™ is the first FDA approved aesthetic device that uses radio frequency (RF) thermal heating and precise temperature control to treat a variety of cosmetic soft tissue areas of the face, neck, jowls, arms, breasts, abdomen, legs, and body. ThermiTight™ is a minimally invasive skin tightening procedure, alternative to surgery, that uses controlled radio frequency heat to directly stimulate collagen production below the skin surface, improving skin texture and promoting skin tightening. ThermiTight™ is suitable for anyone who hates loose skin at your jawline and neck or anywhere on your body but not quite for a surgical lift. To understand your treatment options, request a consultation online or call Wang Plastic Surgery in Pasadena and Inland Empire area at (888) 360-6688 today to schedule your appointment.

What is ThermiTight™ and what is the procedure like?

ThermiTight™ is a skin tightening treatment targeting the lose skin on face and body, using radiofrequency energy targeting the subdermal tissue. A needle-point incision is made for the targeted area and the probe is inserted to heat the skin from below to stimulate the production of collagen.

Dr. Wang will apply a controlled amount of thermal energy to the targeted tissue. The tip of the tiny probe will provide constant feedback of the actual temperature during the treatment. At the same time, an infrared camera is used to monitor skin temperature to ensure that your treatment is both safe and effective.

What is the difference between ThermiTight™ and other non-invasive skin tightening ultrasound or laser treatments?

ThermiTight™ is minimally invasive where a needle puncture allows the probe to treat beneath the skin, deeper into the dermis tissue. The tightening effect is better and lasts longer.

How long does ThermiTight™ procedure take?

The procedure takes about 1-2 hours depending on the treated area(s).

Does ThermiTight™ procedure hurt?

No. ThermiTight™ is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients have minimal to no discomfort after the procedure. Any discomfort can be treated with Tylenol (Acetaminophen). Rarely will any stronger pain medications be necessary.

How long before I see results of ThermiTight™?

Visible results can be expected immediately, and improves over time. Most patients start to see results in 30 days after the procedure but the results will continue to improve over the next several months. In about 3 months most of the results are seen, but they can continue to improve for about one year after the procedure.

Is there any downtime?

Patients may experience swelling for 1-2 days, with possible bruising for some patients. Most patients can return to normal activity within 1-2 days, but for some patients swelling may last from 3 to 7 days after the procedure. Neck wrap and compression garment is recommended for recovery.

How long will the results last?

The long-term results will vary according to the age of the patient, the site treated and other factors. The treatment results have been shown to last a long time - at least several years.

Can I combine ThermiTight™ with other procedures?

ThermiTight™ can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as laser liposuction. Smart Lipo is frequently combined for the treatment of excess fat. Dr. Wang will make recommendations accordingly to your condition.

ThermiTight™ is for someone who has sagging skin that has not responded to diet, exercise or other skin care regiments or procedures and not quite ready to undergo a more invasive procedure like a facelift, breast lift, tummy tuck, or body lift.

Anti-aging is no longer just for the face! ThermiVA™ is the non-surgical procedure that will help you look and feel 20 years younger down there in 30 minutes!

You know that as a woman age, you lose collagen on your face and skin throughout your body, but did you know that you also lose collagen in your labia and vagina too?

Are you afraid to see yourself in the mirror or take photos of yourself because different angles will reveal signs of aging, be it wrinkles or sagging skin? Do you feel like you always look tired because of the sagging cheeks, the nasolabial folds and jowls? If you have ever put your fingers at your cheekbone below the outer eyes and lift your cheeks and jowls, and wished there was something that could make it stay lifted or pulled back without going under the knife, then Silhouette InstaLift™ is the answer to your prayers. They will be your invisible fingers!

Silhouette InstaLift™ is a 30-minute lunchtime facelift procedure using advanced suspending strings to lift underlying facial tissue without general anesthesia or incisions, FDA approved for use in the mid-face. The minimally invasive InstaLift™ procedure uses absorbable sutures with tiny bi-directional cones to lift and suspend the deeper layers of the skin. The suture and cone material are both made of glycolide/L-lactide (PLGA). As the small cones slowly dissolve over time, the tissue heals around them, stimulating collagen production, making the skin firmer and thicker. It is virtually pain free, and produces the results of a facelift without the incisions and recovery time. Results can be seen instantly!

Both men and women can be good candidates for InstaLift™, but it still requires a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon to advise the most suitable procedure(s) to treat your condition. Dr. Stewart Wang is one of the few experienced doctors offering Silouette InstaLift™ in Pasadena and Inland Empire area. To understand your treatment options, request a consultation online or call Wang Plastic Surgery at (888) 360-6688 today to schedule your appointment.

What is the Silhouette InstaLift™?

A minimally invasive facelift procedure which uses fine biodegradable sutures and tiny bi-directional cones placed deep beneath the skin to lift and tighten. Dr. Wang will use this suturing technique to reposition sagging tissue to a more youthful position. The sutures are inserted through tiny holes. No actual facelift incisions are made. Local anesthesia is used to ensure there is no discomfort during the procedure.

What areas in the face does Silhouette InstaLift™ treat?

This procedure is for the mid-face, cheeks, jowls and some areas in the neck where it can help restore contours and increase volume. This minimally invasive procedure enhances the contours of your face by lifting the layers of your skin for a more youthful look.

How is Silhouette InstaLift™ performed?

This procedure is performed in our office or in our outpatient operating room. It takes approximately 30-45 minutes. Dr. Wang will mark the areas of desired lift, inject local numbing agents to the areas and then gently insert a needle through the tissue and remove it at each bi-directional exit point. The sutures have bidirectional absorbable cones that hold the tissue in place. There will be slight discomfort, comparable to dermal filler or any other injectable procedures.

What is the downtime and what should I expect after my procedure?

There may be some mild redness and swelling for a few days but you can usually get back to your daily normal routine with very little downtime.

How long will I need to wait to see the results and how long does it last?

The results are immediate. Results can last up to 2 years, but will vary patient to patient.

Have you ever dreamed about turning back the clock and getting your youthful face back overnight? Cosmetic medical techniques have advanced greatly in recent years. Many aspects of facial aging can be addressed with safe and effective procedures that offer little downtime and natural-looking results. While wrinkles, brown spots and lost volume can be treated with existing procedures, until now there has been no minimally invasive way to lift the deeper layers of mid-facial skin, one of the major contributors to an aged and tired appearance.

IV therapy has long been a rejuvenating go-to for celebrities worldwide, and now skin-brightening IV is very much in vogue! It’s about lightening your skin from the inside, with the active ingredients injected into your bloodstream via an IV drip. Vitamins, minerals and antioxidants fed directly into the bloodstream are absorbed much more effective than taken orally via gastrointestinal absorption.

Wang Plastic Surgery Skin Med Spa is now offering IV spa for our patients to unwind and rejuvenate at the same time. The Glutathione (GSH) + Vitamin C intravenous therapy is the best skin lightening or brightening treatment for darker skin ethnic groups, such as African, Hispanic, Asian Indian, and Filipino, or the Chinese obsession for skin whitening, or simply for anyone who’s skin darkened from outdoor activities. However, many women that have flawless skin use skin whitening injections on a regular basis to help maintain their excellent complexion.

Exposure to outdoor elements, primarily ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and oxidative stress is the main cause for photoaging. Photoaged skin shows a variety of age-associated clinical alterations, including deep wrinkles, discoloration, and irregular pigmentation. Recently, it has been revealed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced excessively in the cells are involved in the process of skin aging caused by UV exposure. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulate over time are a main contributor to the aging process. UV-irradiation, especially UVA and UVB results in the production of ROS.

How does Vitamin C brightens skin?

Vitamin C neutralizes the damaging effects of ROS, reduces the harmful effects caused by free radicals and regulates collagen production. Other vital roles played by vitamin C are:

• Reduction of harmful effects caused by free radicals
• Regulation of collagen production
• Decreasing sunburn caused by UVB radiation exposure

The color in our skin is produced by melanin; greater melanin production means darker skin. Glutathione inhibits the production of melanin. On top of this, Glutathione speeds up cell turnover, replacing the damaged cells that give a dark appearance to the skin with new cells.

How does Glutathione help lightens skin?

Glutathione is a substance in the body made from three amino acids, namely, glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. This is known to be a detoxifying agent as well as an antioxidant. Other functions of Glutathione in the body include the following:

• Release of the free radicals and other toxic substances in the body
• Essential for cellular health and tissue repair
• Skin rejuvenation
• Regenerates the liver cells from the damages due to alcohol and fatty food intake
• Detoxification
• Improving the immune system
• Reduction of the production of melanin (substance responsible for pigmentation)

How does the Glutathione + Vitamin C IV therapy work?

Together, Glutathione and Vitamin C partners to aid the body in maintaining antioxidants. They help the body in getting rid of the harmful effects caused by toxic hydrogen peroxide and free radicals. They both decrease the production of melanin, in combination, they are considered to be one of the most effective skin whitening products. After the intravenous infusion therapy, patients usually get a much younger looking and fairer skin with an amazing glow. Effects of skin whitening depend on how much pigmentation is there on the skin.

How many IV therapies do I need?

The duration of your Skin Lightening program depends on your skin tone, how many shades you are hoping to lighten and the speed that you are hoping to achieve lightening. This will be discussed in full at your consultation.

Is Glutathione + Vitamin C IV infusion therapy suitable for me?

It is suitable for skin with excessive UV exposure, or have dull complexion due to lack of sleep or under long term mental stress, natural dark complexion; or simply to lighten dark marks, skin blemishes and scars.

IV infusion therapy is not suitable for you if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, liver or kidney diseases.

Wrinkle buster, gravity fighter, all natural self-filler, growth factor release, vampire facelift, liquid gold facial treatment, these are the major hypes in the press and the web about PRP and PRFM! Apparently, within your own body there lies the power to heal and regenerate collagen in your skin. It’s all from your own blood, so there is no risk for infection or allergic reaction! Growth factors in the platelets from your blood stimulate a stem cell response, which repairs and regenerates damaged skin, improves the appearance of scars, stimulate hair growth, and slows & reverses the signs of aging.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is harvested by taking your existing blood, spin it in a centrifuge at high speed to separate the platelets from the rest of your blood. The platelets are packed with healing properties that can assist stem cells to trigger reproduction. The two growth factors FGF and PDGF, promote cell growth, tissue repair and the production of new collagen. In the past, PRP injections have been used for years in sports medicine to help athletes heal faster from injury. At Wang Plastic Surgery, we couple PRP with Dermapen, restoring the PRP into the skin tissue during the micro-needling procedure, so our patients receive much more enhanced results from the PRP technology, resulting a much faster healing and better collagen growth, creating a much richer, smoother looking skin.

PRP is a therapy that’s been widely used to treat all sorts of conditions such as musculoskeletal injuries (including tendinitis and nerve injuries). But PRP has been most popularized for its positive effects in hair restoration and facial rejuvenation. The platelets are packed with healing properties and assist stem cells to trigger reproduction. Schedule consultation online or call Wang Plastic Surgery at (888) 360-6688 today to schedule your appointment to find our if you are a good candidate for PRP and Dermapen.

Taking this one step further, the left over PRP from your PRP micro-needling session can be combined with a calcium chloride to cause fibrin polymerization, forming a filler-like gel or PRFM (Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix). By using your body's platelet rich plasma (PRP), Wang Plastic Surgery can create a personalized and truly organic filler product (PRFM) that can be injected into areas of collagen loss such as the cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds or smile lines, lips, and even into the backs of the hands. This truly is a natural filler! This can also be performed in isolation without micro-needling, if desired.

What is Platelet- Rich Plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. Platelets contain growth factors; when applied to the skin, they can stimulate the growth of collagen. Collagen plumps the skin, giving it a youthful and supple appearance. PRP for facial rejuvenation can be used with wrinkles and areas around the eyes, mouth, cheeks, neck, and jawline, and hair growth.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma Fibrin Matrix (PRFM)?

The next generation of PRP, produces ultra-pure PRP using a fibrin matrix which serves to protect and preserve the platelets. Ultra Pure PRFM also known as the Liquid Gold for facial rejuvenation. Experience the power of platelets with cell growth, new generation and repair of blood vessels, and collagen production.

What can PRFM be used for?

• Powerful wrinkle removal: PRFM is enriched with variety of growth factors, injected into the superficial dermis, can effectively stimulate collagen to achieve smoothening of the skin, removing forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, fine lines around the eyes, nasolabial folds, lip lines, neck lines
• Scar fillers: When injected into the skin, PRFM powerful growth factors will promote tissue regeneration, to fill the acne scars or any depressed scars, but also can be used to fill the loss of lip tissue
• Optimize the skin: active factors can accelerate and promote the establishment of skin microcirculation, thereby accelerating metabolism, improve the overall quality and color, give the original blemished skin a lighter complexion and a a healthy glow; it can also improve bags under the eyes and dark circles
• Deep anti-aging: PRFM can promote the growth skin tissue to achieve a comprehensive upgrade of the skin condition and continue to delay the aging process
• Skin lightening: to improve skin metabolism and effectively improve pigmentation, melasma and other discoloration
• Safety and Allergy: Continued use of PRFM for treatment will alter the original stress response system of the skin and improve the sensitivity of the skin

What to expect during your PRP or PRFM treatment?

During a short office visit, a small amount of your own blood is drawn into a vacuum collection tube containing a cell separator gel. The tube is then placed into a centrifuge and spun for six minutes to separate the blood into a supernatant plasma/platelet suspension. The red and white blood cells are located below the cell separator gel, creating ULTRA-PURE PRP. The platelets and plasma are then transferred in a closed system to a second vacuum tube containing a small amount of calcium chloride solution which forms the fiber matrix of PRFM. Once your genetically-specialized PRFM solution has been created, it is ready to be applied to skin with Dermapen. This micro-needling makes tiny “wounds” in the skin which accept the PRP serum and begins the process of collagen creation along with the tissue enhancement from growth factors found in the plasma serum.

Is there downtime associated with the PRP or PRFM Facial treatments?

There is little to no downtime after the treatments. You can expect slight redness and sensitivity for about 24 to 48 hours after the treatment.

Is the treatment painful?

A topical numbing medication can be applied prior to treatment to reduce discomfort. Most patients find the treatment slightly uncomfortable, but tolerable.

How many treatments are required for the best result?

Wang Plastic Surgery recommends minimum of 3 treatments, once every 4 weeks to achieve optimal results. PRFM treatments offer the most dramatic result with quarterly maintenance. We offer package specials to provide the affordable optimal result.
