This blog discusses how exosomes promote blood flow, cell renewal, tissue repair, and collagen production to provide benefits for dull, aging skin and hair loss.

A Search for Natural Beauty

Are you tired of spending money on products that promise to transform your skin or hair, only to discover they do nothing? It’s a frustrating experience to be sure, especially when you are battling hair loss and aging skin. Furthermore, today’s consumer wants a natural solution — or as natural as possible — for their beauty needs. That’s why regenerative medicines and techniques, such as exosome therapy, are gaining traction as one of the most promising treatments for these concerns.

What Is Exosome Therapy?

Exosome therapy uses exosomes to stimulate the body’s natural healing and regenerative functions to improve aesthetic concerns such as hair loss and reduced skin elasticity, among others.

Exosomes are cellular vesicles released by cells in the body that act as messengers, communicating with other cells what their function is or should be. They control certain cells’ functions and can prompt them to regenerate, grow, or change.

Exosome therapy involves delivering key exosomes into the body to prompt cells to regenerate or function more efficiently, helping with processes such as hair growth, skin cell renewal, and healing.

How Do Exosomes Help Skin and Hair Health?

Skin cells and hair follicles function like any other cell in the body and can communicate with exosomes to work more efficiently or regenerate. Exosomes are popularly used for both hair growth and skin rejuvenation:

Exosomes for Alopecia (Hair Loss)

Exosome therapy is beneficial for people affected by hair loss, hair thinning, and patchy hair. It works by promoting hair growth through delivering growth factors and signaling cells in the hair follicles to regenerate, stimulating repair and regeneration. Exosomes can also promote new blood vessel formation in the scalp and reduce inflammation, both of which create a healthier scalp and a more favorable environment for hair growth.

Exosomes for Skin Health

Exosomes are also incredibly beneficial for the skin, as they contain various proteins, lipids, and growth factors. They can signal the body to produce more collagen, which is beneficial for skin elasticity and firmness. They also reduce inflammation, improving conditions such as acne. Skin texture is also improved, as collagen helps smooth irregularities. Lastly, exosomes promote skin regeneration, prompting skin cells to renew, resulting in softer, healthier skin.

What Is the Exosome Therapy Treatment Like?

Exosomes are commonly applied in a few ways, depending on the treatment area and your specific needs. For example:

Exosomes for hair can be injected directly into the scalp or applied more broadly after the use of microneedling. These methods depend on the severity of your concerns and the type of hair thinning you have. Injections may be more beneficial for those with patchy hair loss or bald spots, while overall hair thinning may require a more even application with microneedling.

Similarly, exosome therapy for the skin can be delivered in several ways. Some may benefit from a topical application after microneedling or laser resurfacing, as these treatments exfoliate the skin and allow for better absorption of products. Alternatively, exosomes can be injected into the skin for more specific “spot treatment” of issues like acne scars.

When Can I See the Results of Exosomes for Skin and Hair?

Exosome results take some time to appear as the skin and hair are being repaired at the cellular level. For the skin, patients can expect to see an improvement in skin texture, dullness, and hydration in as little as a few weeks. For hair, it takes a little longer, as exosomes work by stimulating hair follicles and making an ideal environment for hair growth. Most patients see improvements in hair thickness and fullness in a few months.

If you’re looking for a safe and biocompatible way to naturally repair your skin and hair, exosomes are a great option.

If you’ve noticed your face or hands losing fullness over time, you may have considered trying injectable fillers. Fillers are an extremely popular cosmetic treatment; in fact, more than seven million people each year take advantage of the myriad of benefits they offer. However, you may be hesitant about trying them because they require consistent upkeep or because they’re made of synthetic materials. Fortunately, there’s an innovative alternative that seamlessly blends science and nature: Lipoderma™. In this blog, we’ll explore Lipoderma™, a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that rejuvenates and restores volume without the need for traditional fillers or invasive surgery.

• What Makes Lipoderma™ Different From Traditional Dermal Fillers?
• Where Can Lipoderma™ Be Used?
• Why Choose Dr. Frank Agullo for Your Lipoderma™ Treatment?

What Is Lipoderma™ and How Does It Work?

You’re probably familiar with autologous fat transfer, which is a procedure that harvests adipose tissue (fat) from your body via liposuction and then utilizes that fat to restore or boost volume elsewhere in your face or body. Lipoderma™ is used in a similar way, but it is an advanced adipose tissue allograft. That means that, unlike traditional fat transfer procedures (which require surgical liposuction), Lipoderma™ uses meticulously purified donor fat (allograft) to boost volume. Put simply, that means it’s a naturally derived fat-based dermal filler.

This purified fat is injected into the desired treatment area, where it immediately restores lost volume. Over time, the transferred fat cells integrate with your body, creating long-lasting and natural results. Think of it as a way to replace what time and age have taken away—without surgery, downtime, or artificial ingredients.

What Makes Lipoderma™ Different From Traditional Dermal Fillers?

Provides Natural Volume Enhancement

Lipoderma™ uses real, purified fat tissue—not synthetic substances—so it offers the same texture and feel as your body’s own fat. As the transferred fat cells integrate, they create volume that looks and feels natural, with smoother, more organic results than most hyaluronic acid or synthetic dermal fillers can achieve.

Perfect for People With Little Excess Body Fat

Traditional fat transfer requires liposuction to harvest excess fat from another part of your body. However, not everyone has enough donor fat to spare, which often limits who can reap the benefits of the procedure. If you aren’t a good candidate for traditional fat grafting because of a low body fat percentage, Lipoderma™ allows you to enjoy the rejuvenating, long-lasting benefits of fat-based treatments without the need for fat removal or surgery.

Completely Non-Surgical

Because Lipoderma™ doesn’t require incisions or liposuction, there’s no scarring, no sutures, and minimal downtime. The treatment is performed using tiny micro-cannulas, similar to those used for traditional injectable fillers, and you can return to your regular activities shortly after your treatment session.

Where Can Lipoderma™ Be Used?

Face

Lipoderma™ restores youthful contours in your face by replenishing volume loss in the cheeks, under-eye hollows, and temples. It can also smooth acne scars, refine skin irregularities, and soften lines to help you achieve a naturally refreshed appearance.

Hands

Your hands are one of the first areas to show signs of aging, as the skin thins and veins and tendons become more prominent. Lipoderma™ effectively plumps and rejuvenates your hands, restoring a softer, more supple look and minimizing visible veins.

Male Enhancement

For men seeking a discreet, natural approach to enhancement, Lipoderma™ can also be used as non-surgical penile augmentation. It provides added girth, boosting your confidence without the risks or recovery associated with implants or synthetic fillers.

Why Choose Dr. Frank Agullo for Your Lipoderma™ Treatment?

Dr. Frank Agullo is a board-certified plastic surgeon with a global reputation in aesthetic innovation. As one of the first plastic surgeons to offer Lipoderma™ in the U.S., Dr. Agullo continues to provide his patients with the latest in cutting-edge medical science and regenerative aesthetics, including Lipoderma™ and alloClae™ fat-derived treatments.

Have you ever thought about fat transfer or fat grafting to boost your buns or add volume to your face? If you’ve researched the fat transfer procedure, you probably know it requires liposuction surgery and downtime for healing. But what if you could reap the benefits of fat transfer without surgery and with zero downtime or restrictions? Enter alloClae™, a revolutionary fat grafting procedure that uses donor fat to achieve beautiful results. In this blog, we’ll discuss the benefits of alloClae™ so you can determine if it’s the right choice for you. 

3 Min Read:

What Is alloClae™?

The newest innovation in fat transfer is alloClae™, an injectable fat treatment that uses allogenic fat cells (cells taken from human donors) for body contouring and facial rejuvenation purposes. The fat cells used in alloClae™ are purified using an advanced fat processing technology, which removes any elements that could cause an immune reaction in your body. The result is a non-surgical fat transfer treatment that offers lasting, natural-looking results.

Do You Want Non-surgical Body Contouring?

Brazilian Butt Lifts continue to be a popular cosmetic surgery procedure, as patients seek to enhance their buttocks and balance their silhouette. However, many people don’t want to undergo an invasive surgery like liposuction to achieve their results. In other cases, people who are naturally slim but wish to augment their curves may encounter a different roadblock. If you don’t have enough excess body fat to harvest for a successful fat transfer treatment, what are your options?

Fortunately, alloClae™ addresses both of those issues. Whether you’re seeking a minimally invasive procedure to get a rounder behind or more shapely breasts, or you don’t have enough excess fat to achieve those enhanced contours via traditional fat transfer, alloClae™ is an excellent solution.

Do You Want a Dermal Filler Alternative?

If you’ve ever gotten injectable fillers, you know that while you may love your results, they will fade in a matter of months, and you’ll need to undergo the treatment again. For some, the temporary nature of traditional injectable fillers is exactly what they want. However, others want a more permanent solution for restoring volume to their face and hands.

An alloClae™ treatment works just like a dermal filler treatment. It’s a short and sweet procedure that leaves you with immediately visible results. The primary difference is that alloClae™ is long-lasting. Ideally, the results are permanent, but factors like weight fluctuations and age may eventually alter your results.

Do You Want to Improve Your Skin’s Texture and Tone?

One of the benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers is that they not only restore volume but also help stimulate collagen in your skin. The result is plumper, healthier, younger-looking skin. Thanks to the regenerative medicine properties of alloClae™, you can reap the same skin improvement benefits. Naturally occurring growth factors in alloClae™ can help encourage collagen production, strengthening and enhancing your skin from the inside out.

Do You Want to Address “Problem Areas?”

A body contouring buzzword is “hip dips”—the natural indentation on your body where your thigh bone meets your hip bone. Many people wish to fill and contour that area for a more shapely figure, which is something traditional fat transfer is often used for. Another area people tend to fret about is the backs of their thighs, where cellulite is prevalent. There are any number of creams and treatments touting cellulite reduction, but it can be a difficult issue to eliminate successfully.

Whether you wish to fill in hip dips or banish cellulite, alloClae™ can help. With just a few injections, hips are more rounded and dimples are gone without the need for an invasive procedure.

Learn More About alloClae™ in El Paso

Are you searching for a minimally invasive procedure to restore volume in your face or hands that offers long-lasting results? Do you wish there was a non-surgical way to add a bit of “oomph” to your buns or breasts? Look no further than the revolutionary alloClae™ treatment at Southwest Plastic Surgery. To discover if alloClae™ is right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Frank Agullo today by calling (915) 590-7900 or completing our online contact form.

Hyperhidrosis causes excessive sweating, which can detract from a person’s confidence and quality of life. Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for excessive sweating in the underarms. This blog details what Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ is, how it works, and frequently asked questions.

Don’t Let Sweat Get You Down—Try Brella™ SweatControl Patch™

Excessive sweating is more than frustrating—it can be so embarrassing that you avoid social activities or certain physical activities for fear of revealing your underarms. Until now, the only options for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) relief were invasive, painful, and expensive.

Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ is the only FDA-cleared sweat control patch clinically proven to reduce sweat production for three to four months, sometimes longer.

What Is Brella™ SweatControl Patch™?

If you want an easy, non-invasive treatment for hyperhidrosis in the underarms, Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ might be for you. This sweat control patch features a sodium sheet and an adhesive backing, which is applied to the underarms. Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ works by activating alkali thermolysis (TAT) to reduce sweat. When the sodium reacts with the water in sweat, it generates thermal energy, which targets sweat glands to reduce sweat production.

This in-office treatment takes no more than 20 minutes and provides sweat reduction for up to four months, sometimes longer for some patients. This non-invasive treatment is easy, painless, and convenient.

Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during my Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ treatment?

Your aesthetic provider will begin by checking to make sure your underarms are clean of product and free of lesions or rashes. One patch is placed on one armpit, and your provider will activate it by massaging it into your skin for up to three minutes. You may feel a sensation of warmth or tingling; that’s just the sodium working on your sweat glands.

Once the treatment is over, your specialist will remove and dispose of the used patch. Your treated armpit will be wiped clean and dry. Then, a new patch will be placed on your other underarm, and the process will be repeated.

After receiving your Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ treatment, you’ll be free to go about your day with no restrictions.

Is Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ safe for all skin types?

Yes. Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ should work on all skin types and tones and is safe and comfortable. Most clinical study patients reported experiencing no adverse effects when they used Brella™ SweatControl Patch™.

Who is a candidate for Brella™ SweatControl Patch™?

Adults of all skin types who are bothered by excessive underarm sweating, even when at rest or at a comfortable temperature, may be candidates for Brella™ SweatControl Patch™.

However, Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ might not be right for younger patients, those with medical or health contraindications, or those with active skin irritants. Check with your provider to make sure Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ is right for you.

How can I prepare for my Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ treatment?

You’ll need to shave or clip your underarm hair about 48 hours before your appointment. Be sure to keep it around that timeframe, as the hair must be short enough that the patch can adhere to the skin. However, shaving right before your appointment might result in skin irritation, so be careful.

You should also wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing so your provider can easily access your underarms. If possible, most providers recommend not wearing deodorant prior to your appointment.

How will I feel after my appointment? When can I wear deodorant again?

It’s completely safe to resume normal activities immediately after your Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ appointment, although be aware if your underarms feel more sensitive or irritated. If that’s the case, wait until they return to normal before resuming your regular daily routine.

You’ll also be able to wear deodorant and shave your underarms after your procedure; there’s no need to wait.

Want to Learn More About Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ in El Paso, TX?

Say goodbye to excessive sweating and hello to dry, comfortable underarms. Call Southwest Plastic Surgery today at (915) 590-7900 or fill out our online contact form to schedule a Brella™ SweatControl Patch™ consultation and regain your confidence.

At Southwest Plastic Surgery’s MedSpa, we’re dedicated to delivering advanced and comprehensive treatments to address a wide variety of medical and aesthetic conditions. Lately, we’ve noted an uptick in patients with Parkinson’s disease experiencing various forms of contractures, such as curled toes, dropped head, and hand contractures. Although Parkinson’s disease is renowned for its impact on motor function, these lesser-known complications can also significantly affect a person’s quality of life. Fortunately, we’ve seen encouraging results treating these issues with botulinum toxin—commonly known by its brand name, Botox®.

Understanding Parkinson’s Contractures

Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative neurological disorder that affects one in every 100 people over the age of 60. Its hallmark symptoms include tremors, stiffness, slowed movement, and balance issues. However, over time, some patients may also develop contractures.

Contractures are persistent, often painful muscle contractions that cause discomfort and distortion in various body parts. Among those most commonly affected in Parkinson’s patients are the toes, neck, and hands.

1. Dystonic Toe Curling: The foot’s muscles undergo involuntary, repetitive contractions, resulting in abnormal postures like curled toes.
2. Antecollis: Severe flexion of the neck leads to a condition known as antecollis, causing the chin to drop towards the chest.
3. Hand Contractures: Some Parkinson’s patients find it difficult to straighten their fingers due to hand contractures, significantly interfering with daily tasks such as writing, buttoning clothing, or preparing meals.

While traditional treatment for Parkinson’s primarily focuses on increasing dopamine levels in the brain, this approach often neglects peripheral symptoms like contractures. That’s where botulinum toxin comes into play.

Botulinum Toxin: The Effective Treatment for Contractures

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein that, in controlled doses, can serve as a powerful therapeutic agent. It’s most recognized in medical and aesthetic fields for its ability to relax wrinkles by paralyzing the underlying muscles. However, this exact mechanism is employed to treat contractures in Parkinson’s disease.

When injected into a contracture, botulinum toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that triggers muscle contractions. This effectively relaxes the muscle, thus alleviating the contracture. This treatment significantly helps with the discomfort and inconvenience of curled toes, dropped head, and hand contractures caused by Parkinson’s, improving the patient’s mobility and quality of life.

The Botulinum Toxin Procedure

Administering botulinum toxin for contractures is a relatively quick and straightforward procedure. Our highly skilled practitioners use a fine needle to inject the medication directly into the problematic muscle. Any discomfort tends to be minimal and brief.

Following treatment, patients often notice an improvement in their symptoms within a few days, although it can take up to two weeks for the maximum effect. The benefits typically last three to four months, after which repeat injections are needed to maintain the results.

Is Botulinum Toxin the Right Option for You?

If you or a loved one are dealing with contractures like curled toes, dropped head, or hand contractures due to Parkinson’s disease, botulinum toxin could be an effective treatment option. However, as with any medical intervention, it’s essential to discuss potential benefits and risks with a qualified healthcare provider.

At Southwest Plastic Surgery’s MedSpa, our team of experts is ready to provide you with a comprehensive consultation and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for your needs. We believe in offering innovative solutions that not only address aesthetic concerns but also improve overall health and well-being.

Living with Parkinson’s disease can be challenging, but medical advances like the use of botulinum toxin offer hope. You don’t have to let contractures disrupt your daily life. Reach out to us today to learn how we can help you live more comfortably and confidently.

There’s something to be said for investing in yourself, and most of us do in one way or another. 

We may even get support from our peers for spending money to purchase the healthiest foods or fill our closets with expensive clothes that help us “dress for the job we want.” 

However, that’s not often the case when we want to change the appearance of our faces or bodies, even though it’s been proven that an appealing aesthetic can contribute to success. 

The truth is, when it comes to beauty, like most things, we have a dichotomy. 

When money isn’t an issue, looking great isn’t much of a problem, and when it is, having good credit can help. 

Saving Up for Plastic Surgery

Even if you plan to borrow, starting to save money specifically for your desired procedure can help bring your interest costs down. 

If you plan to use a zero-interest option, paying some of the cost upfront will reduce both the amount you owe and your risk of incurring higher interest rates or penalties for not paying off your debt within the zero-interest window.

If you have any credit challenges, you’ll want to save as much as possible because you may not qualify for a low or zero-interest interest finance option.

Before You Explore Your Credit Options

It’s a good idea to understand your readiness to undergo plastic surgery and how much time you have to prepare yourself. To be a candidate for plastic surgery, you must not smoke and be at a healthy, stable weight. 

If you need to get closer to your ideal weight or quit smoking to be eligible for plastic surgery, you can also use the time it takes accomplishing these goals to save money. If you smoke, you can commit funds you would have spent on continuing the habit toward your surgery or payments instead.

Using Credit Cards or a Personal Loan to Pay for Plastic Surgery

If you’re one of those people with zero-interest credit cards just waiting to be used or can easily qualify for one, double-check the fine print on repayment terms and retroactive interest rates or penalties. 

If you need more clarification, call the credit card provider and ask what your interest rate will be after the zero-interest promotional period ends, as this should be based on your credit rating.

Many of these cards offer introductory zero-interest for up to 21 months, but you’ll want to compare their terms with one of the following three medical-use credit cards also offering introductory zero-interest rates.

1. CareCredit® 

The CareCredit® card is a popular medical-use credit card with a limited-term, zero-interest option for a minimum purchase of $200. 

CareCredit® offers zero-interest rates for as long as two years but charges 26.99% or more retroactively if the balance is not paid within the specified term.

If you are not confident that you will be able to pay the entire balance by the end of the zero-interest period, CareCredit® also offers plans with rates from 14.90% to 17.90%.

2. ALPHAEON®

ALPHAEON® is another card that offers a limited zero-interest term for purchases of $250 or more for six months and $500 or more for up to 24 months. 

If your balance is not paid by the end of the promotional term, you can expect a 28.99% APR to be imposed on your remaining balance and other penalties.

3 Minute Read: 

The consultation is an essential part of achieving a successful outcome with plastic surgery or cosmetic treatments. Since Covid ushered in the age of virtual meetings for almost any purpose, you might wonder if in-person consultations are still necessary for surgical or non-surgical cosmetic procedures. 

The fact is that video and telephone appointments are becoming more common, but in-person consultations still have their advantages. 

On the other hand, there are benefits that are exclusive to virtual consultations. Dr. Agullo offers both types of consultations to his Southwest Plastic Surgery patients.

Virtual Consultations for Cosmetic Surgery and Treatments

Virtual plastic surgery and cosmetic treatment consultations offer convenience for many who find it difficult or impossible to meet in person in advance of their procedures.

These may include:

• Single moms and dads
• Individuals who don’t drive or have reliable transportation
• Those with busy or unpredictable schedules 
• Out-of-town patients

A virtual consultation provides an opportunity for the patient to discuss their cosmetic concerns with the doctor in the comfort of their home or office and learn what their best options are to achieve their goals. 

By requesting and receiving clear photographs of the area(s) to be addressed, along with a completed health questionnaire, the surgeon can assess the patient, make recommendations, and provide an accurate, inclusive cost estimate. 

If the patient wants to proceed, the practice will email preoperative instructions, take a deposit, and schedule the procedure pending test results.

This option makes it easy for busy people to get a clear understanding of what they can expect before, during, and after their cosmetic procedure so they can plan to use their valuable free time accordingly.

Virtual Consultations for Out-Of-Town Plastic Surgery Patients

Many individuals across the country don’t have ample access to qualified plastic surgeons in their areas and are wise to seek treatment out of town or in a different state completely.

While it may be convenient for anyone who desires surgical or non-surgical cosmetic treatment, a virtual consultation may be the only option for those traveling a significant distance to receive plastic surgery.

Traveling plastic surgery patients can receive their preoperative testing orders digitally or by mail and complete this testing in their home towns. Plastic surgery practices that cater to traveling clientele have dedicated staff to advise patients on scheduling their arriving and departing flights while helping them coordinate comfortable accommodations.

In-Person Consultations for Cosmetic Procedures

When possible, nothing beats an in-person consultation. This meeting provides the surgeon with a three-dimensional view of the patient for a comprehensive physical evaluation and a more personal experience for both parties. 

An in-person consultation also allows the patient to see the surgeon’s office or surgery center and experience its ambiance. 

Plastic Surgery Consultation Wait Times

Sometimes it takes longer to get an in-person or virtual consultation with the surgeon, so this is another aspect to consider.

If you have time constraints related to surgery and recovery periods, some providers may offer virtual or in-person consultations with a nurse practitioner or email consultations with the surgeon. 

A board-certified plastic surgeon will ensure these consultations review all available options and include an in-depth review of the patient’s medical history.
