Kayo Daily Remodeling Serum

This multi-functional hydrating serum is instilled with Hyaluronic Acid and Copper Peptides to help enhance the appearance of skin. Skin is saturated with long-lasting deep hydration from Hyaluronic Acid and Kayo’s Omega Oil Blend, while skin is further layered with Kayo’s antioxidant rich Superfruit Blend, leaving skin energized and radiant. Founder's Notes: This body product was modeled after true high impact face serums, with the quintessential lighter feel and texture of a serum, perfect for layering based on your unique skin type and needs. Moisture is primarily delivered through Hyaluronic Acid (think deep water hydration) rather than topical oil hydration. This product can be used by itself for normal to oily skin, but is recommended under other Kayo products, such as The Body Beautiful Crème or Kayo's Cellular Repair Evening Oil for skin that needs deeper oil based hydration. When layering Kayo's body products use the same technique you would with face products - lighter products like serums first, heavier products like lotions and oils after.

CheatSheet

Considering Plastic Surgery? What You Should Know First

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a condition in which persistent subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissue that causes unsightly skin dimpling, especially on women’s hips and thighs. Fibrous bands connect the skin to the fascia that covers the underlying muscle. When the bands contract, they pull down on the skin, creating a pitted appearance. Women are more prone to cellulite than men. But when we women refer to cellulite, we aren’t just bothered by dimpling. Lines running on the back of our thighs are also bothersome. Even though lines are not true cellulite, but rather skin laxity, we are still bothered by them. Also, sometimes there are bulges of fat and divots of fat that keep us from looking smooth. And although this is not true cellulite, we would still like it smoothed out. This is where our practice is different from the rest… because we take a multi-modality approach to cellulite!

What are all of the treatments used to treat cellulite?

In our practice, we first have to diagnose what it is that needs to be treated. Skin laxity? Dimples? Deflation of the buttocks? Excess fat or localized buldges? After discussing each person’s individualized needs, we will employee one or more of the following treatments:

Cellfina system is the size of a smartphone and works mechanically without laser, heat, sound or radio waves. It is a minimally invasive limited downtime procedure that starts with applying local anesthesia to the affected area. The treatment area is prepared and numbed by marking the spot or area to be treated and injected with of lidocaine, an anesthetic numbing agent. Then the Cellfina device grabs the skin with the aid of suction and slides a miniature blade about six millimeters below the skin to cut the attachment, releasing the fibrous bands that cause the dimpling. Overall, the procedure takes about an hour. Cellfina can reduce the appearance of cellulite in just one session. Results last for at least five years but usually longer. Within a few weeks after treatment, patients in the FDA study were showing great results. At three months, 85 percent were satisfied and at one year, 94 percent were satisfied.
Kybella, awake liposuction, or Bodytite can be used to reduce bulges and tighten skin, especially at the inner/outer thighs and under the buttocks (“banana roll”). Reducing localized fat deposits can give a smoother appearance to the area treated. Bodytite can be employed at the thighs, knees, or anywhere on the body that needs some fat reduction and real skin tightening/smoothing.
Biostimulatory injections with Sculptra, Radiesse, and/or Renuva can add volume to divots or areas of flatness in the hips and buttocks. They can also be injected into lines at the posterior thighs to fill them in. These are not ordinary fillers. They encourage the body to build collagen and/or fat in the areas treated for long-lasting results.
Bodytite or Morpheus8 can be used to help tighten skin effectively around the buttocks and thighs. Usually a single treatment of Bodytite is needed and 3-4 treatments of Morpheus8 are recommended.

Treatment Recovery, Results and Side Effects

You can expect soreness, bruising and tenderness that will resolve within a few days following your Cellfina™ treatment, with a little or no downtime involved. Similar downtime can be expected after liposuction, Kybella, or Bodytite. There can also be some oozing of the anesthetic fluid after the Cellfina procedure. We recommend taking off from work the next day and taking it easy. We recommend scheduling your Cellfina procedure at least four weeks before a vacation so that most of the bruising and swelling can have time to resolve in time for your vacation. In the FDA study, 90 percent of patients had no bruising at four weeks post-treatment. Most people begin to notice an improvement in the appearance of their cellulite in as little as three weeks after their Cellfina treatment. Your final results can continue to develop over the course of several months to one or two years. There have been no reported serious side effects associated with the Cellfina procedure. With injections, bruising, swelling, and itching can occur and are limited. After Morpheus8, redness and pinpoint scabbing can occur and are usually completely gone within 3-14 days.

Cellfina Procedure & Recovery

Cellfina is performed as an out-patient procedure in our Beverly Hills office. First, Dr. Nazarian will mark the cellulite dimples in your treatment area. Next, a local anesthetic will be applied to completely numb the area. Cellfina is a hand-held device that contains a motorized micro-scalpel. The machine creates a vacuum that sucks up the skin in your treatment area. The scalpel, which is about the size of a needle, then severs the vertical bands of connective tissue that are the root cause of your cellulite. Once these tight bands are released, you will see visibly smoother skin in about 3 days and the appearance will actually continue to improve for 3 months.

Other than bruising, there is really no downtime associated with Cellfina. You can return to your normal activities immediately although Dr. Nazarian does recommend that you take it easy for the first 24 hours. You can expect to be sore after your Cellfina procedure. This is normal and will resolve in a couple of days. You will also have some post procedure bruising. In the Cellfina studies, 9 out of 10 people had complete resolution of bruising within 1 month. The majority of the bruising is gone in 2 weeks. We do recommend that you take our medical-grade Arnica/Bromelain/Vitamin K pills before and after your procedure. They are available for purchase in the office or by phone.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Is Cellfina surgery?

No. But it does involve some tiny pokes. The device has what is called a micro-scalpel. It is basically the size of a needle. This scalpel specifically targets the tight vertical bands of connective tissue that are the root cause of your cellulite. Like a rubber band, once this tissue is released, your surface skin bounces back to smooth. It’s really pretty remarkable.

How long before I see my results?

One of the things that I like most about Cellfina is that it works fast. Patients will see an improvement in the appearance of their cellulite in as little as 3 days. I think this is one of the big reasons why Cellfina has such a huge patient satisfaction rating. After years of feeling ashamed about their cellulite, patients are able to quickly attain smoother, more vibrant looking skin. And these results improve for 3 months and then last for at least three years or more.

Are there any downsides to Cellfina?

No. The only real side effects are soreness and some bruising after your treatment. But neither bothers patients to the point where they need to take time off of work or their daily activities.

How long will my Cellfina results last?

In studies, the results from a Cellfina treatment lasted at least three years. And it only takes one session to get these results. This is why this modality is such a game changer.

What is the recovery like after Cellfina?

I advise my patients to take it easy for the first 24 hours, but there is no down time associated with Cellfina. You will be sore and bruised. But nothing that will prohibit you from returning to your normal activities immediately.
