The La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Podcast - With San Diego’s Most Loved Plastic Surgeons episodes

  • Arm The Lasers!
    LJC has a laser for everything. But with so many choices, how can you possibly know which one is the best for you? Brittany Haley shares her deep knowledge of the latest Sciton laser treatments, particularly the new Moxi and longtime patient favorites Halo, BBL, and ProFractional. Because of their high quality results, Brittany refers to Sciton as “the Lamborghini of lasers,” and these laser treatments are an important part of the LJC medical spa treatment menu.

    Brittany and Monique talk about the creative and surprising ways these lasers can treat any concern from under-eye bags, eyelids, veins, sun damage, melasma, red spots, and large pores to scars -- even breast lift scars.

    You’ll learn what to expect when treating various body parts with lasers, including the eyes, lips, neck, chest, booty, and more. You’ll also learn what occurs after treatment and which lasers require more recovery time. She also touches on “prejuvenation” (an aging prevention method) – what it is, who is using it, and why it is trending.

    Finally, Brittany emphasizes that when it comes to skin, keeping the status quo is the goal. She advises not to skip treating specific areas of the body or only protecting some of them from the sun. Every part of your body will age eventually, and focusing on one place (e.g., the face) and ignoring others (the hands) could become an obvious giveaway to others that your skin is aging.

    Brittany’s experience over 11+ years of working with lasers in the cosmetic industry means choosing the appropriate laser (or combination of lasers) for each person. It is a unique and innovative process customized to each patient to address their specific needs, and she explains how she successfully treats people with different skin colors, types, and conditions.

  • Zoom Lift: The Neck Big Thing
    After spending the last year looking in the 21st century mirror that is Zoom, many people discovered their lower face and neck looked a bit too tired. Although the condition itself hasn’t changed, the name “turkey neck” has been replaced by the more modern “Zoom neck.”

    Plastic surgeon Dr. Johan Brahme and non-surgical aesthetic nurse practitioner Khanh Nguyen, FNP-C join us to explain what causes the Zoom neck phenomenon in the first place, and what’s on the menu at LJC to treat it.

    Dr. Brahme covers how aging skin loses elasticity and why tightening helps it appear younger and healthier. Then, he explains the best way to treat sagging skin and bands in the neck and advises patients to address wrinkles and sagging sooner rather than later since they can be challenging to get rid of later in life.

    Khanh Nguyen, FNP-C explains how Zoom neck wrinkles worsen due to looking down for hours on end while using our cell phones and computers. He outlines the non-surgical solutions for dealing with wrinkles and aging skin, including Botox, fillers, lasers, threads, and other methods for helping the skin produce more collagen.
