Los Angeles Botox: Non Invasive Cosmetic Procedures on the Rise
Beverly Hills, CA – December 12, 2008 – As the economy slides south, does that mean our foreheads have to follow suit? Not in Hollywood. Beverly Hills Aesthetics reports that non-surgical cosmetic services like Botox® Cosmetic are growing more popular, even in the down economy.
Beverly Hills Botox physician, Dr. Sam Assassa, points to this latest statistic: According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 59 percent of respondents said in October that the economy had affected their plans for cosmetic plastic surgery but 27 percent said they would consider less expensive procedures like Botox.
Getting Botox in Los Angeles has become about as common as getting a haircut or 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 television series alum and 90210 actress, Lori Loughlin, said 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. Botox is a simple, 10-minute, non-surgical process. Botox weakens the muscles that wrinkle the skin, leaving areas of the face smoother for up to four months. With a few tiny injections, patients will see a noticeable improvement in frown lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and other facial areas.
“The patients who I see in Los Angeles for Botox vary from the Hollywood elite to regular working women,” said Dr. Assassa. “Most patients are grateful for the procedure because it is painless, effective, involves no downtime, and most of all its reasonable price. Botox at Beverly Hills Aesthetics costs $12 per unit.”
Beverly Hills Aesthetics will be offering current patients twenty percent off their next Botox appointment when they bring a friend for Botox on the third Saturday of any month, beginning December 20th. It’s an easy and fast way to look great for 2009, without breaking the bank.

The latest advancement in facelifts is… a liquid? That’s right, you no longer need to go under the knife to take the years off your face.
Dr. Assassa of Beverly Hills Aesthetics is now offering the Liquid Facelift, a combination of advanced dermal fillers and Botox.
What is Does:
Unfortunately, the most noticeable sign of aging is often the loss of facial volume and the eventual descent of soft tissues resulting in asymmetry. The Liquid Facelift restores the youthful facial contour of arcs an
d convexities without a single incision. It erases deeper wrinkles, and contours the skin to reestablish the hallmarks of young face: a well defined jaw line, luscious lips, full cheeks, elevated plumped eyebrows, and a smooth forehead.
How it Works:
The combination of Botox and other advanced dermal fillers is unique because Botox softens fine wrinkles around the eyes, lifts the eyebrows and relaxes the forehead while dermal fillers contour and sculpt the face. This combination effectively eliminates wrinkles around the lines and mouth and tightens up loose skin, especially around the jaw and cheek area.
Procedure Details:
Liquid Facelift procedures generally take around an hour or so, and patients can return to most normal routines the next day. You get the results of a traditional facelift, minus the pain, expense, and inconvenience.

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.”

When The Beach Boys forever immortalized the ladies of California for their beauty in song they were definitely on to something. How do women constantly surrounded by sun, wind, ozone pollution, and seawater keep their skin looking young and fresh?
By making skincare a part of their daily routine of course.
Follow these steps towards getting younger looking skin and everyone will be singing your praises in no time.
- Make your moisturizer do double-duty. Invest in a moisturizer that includes a sunscreen. That way,
your skin will look amazing and you’ll keep wrinkles away.
- Anti-oxidant power! Using a makeup that includes anti-oxidant ingredients can help keep free radicals from bombarding skin and causing signs of aging.
- Lip balm is a must. Getting Jolie-esqe lips isn’t only possible through injectable fillers. Using a lip balm that contains sunscreen can help keep lips plump and moist, and reduce fine lines that appear around the mouth.
- Stay hydrated! There really is no substitute for water when it comes to anti-aging beauty secrets. The skin is your body’s largest organ and requires water to keep it healthy and supple.
- Cleanse every night, no matter what. Tired? Doesn’t matter. Wash your face every night with a gentle exfoliating cleanser to get environmental pollutants, makeup, and dead skin cells off.
- Every now and then, pamper yourself! Invest in a great aesthetic peel or facial. There are qualified non-invasive aesthetic surgeons in every state that perform these services.
For all those California beauties out there - give Dr. Assassa a call 866-Dr90210.

So you’ve heard of Botox for wrinkles and even for sweating, but how about for large pores?
While pores are essential to your skin’s health by providing oil to keep skin soft and hydrated, having visible pores is one of the top skin complaints among women. While it isn’t possible to permanently “shrink” large pores, there are a number of ways to make them less noticeable, including visiting a qualified aesthetic surgeon who can perform intradermal Botox injections.
What causes large pores?
Genetics and age are the two largest factors contributing to pore size. People who have skin that is naturally thick and oily tend to have larger pores. During the aging process, skin loses elasticity and thickens causing pores to look larger.
What does Intradermal Botox do? How does it work?
Botox is injected into the muscles of facial expression. Intradermal Botox is injected in the fine muscles in the skin that control pore size - the erector pili. These muscles are the ones that make your hair stand on ends or cause goose bumps. The effect of Botox injected in this manner contracts the skin’s pores, making them less visible.

As summer comes to a close, you may notice that you have a few more freckles or even wrinkles than you did at this time last year. That’s because while you may walk away from the beach with a suntan, that’s not all you’re getting. Excessive sun exposure is responsible for most of the skin damage associated with aging. This sun damage accumulates slowly over time and starts at an early age.
Wrinkles, freckles, age spots, and other sun damage can make youthful skin appear aged. Clients of Beverly Hills Aesthetics can attest to the fact that sun spots and skin damage but can be reversed by following a proper skin care regimen.
For outdoor sun exposure, the general rule of thumb is that whichever sun protection factor (SPF) you are wearing will protect you from burning on a time-related scale.
Let’s do the math.
Assume without sunscreen your sun exposure threshold is 10 minutes before getting sunburned. A sunscreen with a SPF 20 rating would allow you to stay in the sun for 200 minutes or 20 times the period that your skin would usually burn without sun protection.
However, most of us don’t know how long we take to burn and this formula doesn’t account for swimming or sweating. So, unless you stay out of the sun completely, some sun damage is inevitable but not irreversible.
Beverly Hills Aesthetics’ Dr. Sam Assassa uses peels , Fotofacial, Photopeel and other treatments regularly to reverse the signs of sun damage. For more information on treatments that turn back the clock on sun damage, click here.

proper skincare to maintain a smooth and youthful appearance.
Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon Dr. Sam Assassa is pleased to offer Cosmofacelift, a revolutionary development in non-invasive facelift techniques that delivers amazing yet natural looking results. Never severe or “too-tight,” the Cosmofacelift is a quick procedure that requires minimal downtime and will leave you looking fresher and more rejuvenated.

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.
