Getting Botox in Los Angeles has become about as common as getting your haircut, getting a manicure or even going to the gym. What used to be a hush-hush procedure deflected by starlets who credited their smooth skin to good genes and sunscreen is now so common that even young actresses regularly admit to using Botox.
There is certainly nothing wrong with using Botox to look “fresh and rested” as Full House alum and 90210 actress Lauri Loughlin says in the latest issue of People Magazine. Loughlin is among many famous actresses profiled in the magazine who discuss using Botox to help keep them looking fresh in front of the camera.
“I believe in getting just a little bit,” said actress Jenny McCarthy. “It allows you to keep mobility in your face, it’s a great little secret.”
Dr. Sam Assassa, an aesthetic surgeon in Beverly Hills regularly treats patients with Botox to achieve not only a younger look but also a generally fresher appearance.
“It is important to go to an aesthetic surgeon who knows how to use Botox to best improve your looks and work with your face,” said Dr. Assassa. “You cannot treat everyone the same with Botox, it is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. When done correctly, Botox is not overly obvious, but dramatically improves skins appearance and gives patients a youthful glow.”

The economy may be in a slump, but the aesthetic surgery industry is getting a boost from the current economic climate.
MarketWatch.com, part of The Wall Street Journal’s empire, published an article detailing current trends in cosmetic and aesthetic surgery as determined by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. While traditional cosmetic procedures such as breast implants and liposuction saw dramatic decreases, services like Botox and Smart Lipo saw rapid increases in the number of services performed.
As patients opt for less-expensive aesthetic procedures, non-invasive cosmetic surgeons like Dr. Sam Assassa of Beverly Hills Aesthetics are sure to see a continued rise in demand for their services.
“In the current economy, of course people are going to opt for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures,” said Dr. Assassa. “They are less expensive, and a great alternative when downtime is not an option – people simply can’t leave work for weeks at a time to recover from traditional cosmetic surgery.”

Let’s be honest. We all know a few people that could afford to lay off the Botox for a few months. Is it vanity? Yes, but it is also a very real obsessive compulsion that drives people towards looking younger and younger.
Recent studies suggest that women across the country are “binging” on Botox, resulting in frozen faces completely devoid of any lines. Aside from being cosmetic, these “binges” have psychological roots in obsessive-compulsive disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder.
Suffering from so-called “Wrinklerexia,” some Botox-devotees become so obsessed with their crease-free image they begin to see lines where there are none and binge on Botox to get a freeze-frame face.
So how can you tell if you need Botox or a reality check?
First, make sure your doctor is actually trained to do Botox procedures. Some individuals claim to be proficient in the procedure, when in reality they are not medical professionals trained to handle medical procedures. Discuss your feelings with your doctor and heed their advice. If they feel it’s best to wait on the Botox, don’t argue!
Second, if you do have a Botox procedure, make sure your expectations for results are realistic for your age, and skin type. Expecting to eliminate every line and wrinkle in a few procedures is not safe or advisable.

Everyone wants to look younger, thinner, and more radiant.
Not everyone however, is a candidate for cosmetic procedures like fillers, injectables, and Smart
Lipo.
In the interest of utilizing cosmetic procedures only when they are truly warranted to achieve a better appearance, consider these questions:
Body Sculpting and Smart Lipo
• Have you attempted weight loss through diet and exercise?
• Do you have loose skin or pockets of fat from recent weight loss that requires cosmetic intervention?
• Are your problem areas localized?
• Do you have realistic expectations for your results?
Fillers and Injectables
• Do you follow a skin care routine?
• Do you stay out of the sun or use sunscreen when outdoors?
• Can your skin be rejuvenated through peels or skincare procedures other than injectables and fillers?
Discussing these questions and their answers with your physician will help you to determine what procedures, if any, are right for you. Contact us at Beverly Hills Aesthetics for more information today.

How to achieve younger looking skin is one of the most sought after secrets of the beauty world – especially the Beverly Hills beauty world.
Although these skin secrets are frequently discussed and romanticized, very few people know how to achieve it. Lucky for us, the very real and achievable answer lies in the hands of Dr. Assassa at Beverly Hills Aesthetics.
Photopeel™, now offered by Dr. Assassa, is one of the most painless and non-invasive skin-rejuvenation methods that can virtually eliminate skin imperfections. Age spots, scars, large pores, wrinkles, rosacea, spiders, and even pre-cancerous skin lesions can all be eradicated with just a few simple treatments.
Photopeel™ provides all the benefits of a chemical peel but with less pain and downtime. It is a simple procedure involving applying a substance called Levulan® onto the skin, which is then activated by specific wavelengths of intense light. The targeted areas of skin absorb the light’s energy causing a cellular repair that restores a smoother, more youthful appearance to the skin. Typically, only two or three treatments are needed to achieve maximum results.

Pharmawire is a news wire service dedicated to reporting the latest news in the pharmaceutical industry. Beverly Hills Aesthetics’ Dr. Assassa was featured on Pharmawire to lend his expert opinion to the discussion on Allergan’s Botox Cosmetic and its newest competitor Medicis’ Phase III Reloxin.
Pharmawire’s feature on Botox discussed the growth potential in the cosmetic market, despite recent economic downturns. It explained that while individuals who have never used Botox might delay initiating introductory appointments but those who are already using fillers will continue to do so.
Dr. Assassa agreed with this assessment, stating that patients are extending the time between injections, but not forgoing them entirely.
Dr. Assassa added to this by stating, “It would be nice to see the [Botox] monopoly broken up. I think it will be good for the consumer.”
Additionally, with the negative rumours surrounding Botox usage, one can help but wonder if this effects patient’s decisions to continue their treatments.
Dr. Assassa gives his opinion stating, “It’s something that’s an eye-opener, but nothing to be concerned about at this point. Botox has been around in this country since 1989. If there’s any safety issue, I think it becomes negligible. It’s a drop of water in the ocean.”
It is important to recognize that each of these products, Botox and Reloxin have their individual benefits and that the physician will choose which product is best fit for each patient, depending on their needs. While Reloxin consists of the same botulinum type A toxin used in Botox, Reloxin will be packaged differently and have differences in purification and dilution.

The latest trend in facelifts is both non-invasive and more affordable than a traditional facelift.
Unfortunately, both gravity and environmental factors take their toll on even the tightest and most youthful of faces. But thanks to Beverly Hills Aesthetics and Dr. Assassa, the facelift of the future is everything but surgical.
The CosmoFaceLift or “lunchtime facelift” is performed with no anesthesia, through a tiny puncture (much like a needle prick) in the skin.
Tiny sutures are inserted under the skin through the tiny puncture to help reshape and contour loosening skin from UNDERNEATH, rather than ABOVE as with a traditional facelift. This breakthrough procedure can smooth and tighten drooping brows, cheeks, jowls and neck.
The results are immediate and completely subtle, yet noticeable and life changing. This is the perfect non-invasive procedure for those between the ages of 35-65 who are looking for a little lift without all the scarring and recovery time. Who wants to sit at home for two weeks and deal with bruising?

Age is a fact of life. Whether we like it or not, those signs of aging are going to show on our faces in the form of skin loosening and fine lines. Conventional fillers like Botox provide a quick fix and are helpful in achieving a smoother and more youthful complexion, but what about a more natural option?
I am proud to announce that I am the first US physician, located in Beverly Hills, California to offer Plasmajuv: an innovative cosmetic “filler” that uses the body’s own plasma cells and revolutionary technology to maintain and rejuvenate skin’s youthful appearance.
The process is very simple. First, the patient provides a blood sample that we separate to capture acellular-rich plasma that is important for collagen growth. Then, in a short, ten-minute visit to Beverly Hills Aesthetics, I re-inject the plasma cells into the patients face, focusing on the pre-determined areas that need improvement. The re-injection of these cells awakens the body’s reservoir of undifferentiated stem cells, which begin to work underneath the skin’s surface to restore a sculpted and wrinkle-free appearance.
Plasmajuv results appear within three to six weeks while your skin cells grow to fill in fine lines and other age related imperfections. The natural and beautiful effects last up to two years, after which small maintenance touch-ups may be needed.
Are you ready to say goodbye to those fine lines and wrinkles? Plasmajuv offers a natural way to achieve beautiful and youthful skin, no matter what your age.
For more information on Plasmajuv, visit our web site at www.bhaesthetics.com and fill out our consultation request form or give my office a call at 866.Dr90210 (866.379.0210). We would love to discuss it with you further.
