Acne Scar Removal in Sacramento
Do you suffer from embarrassing acne scars? Elk Grove Medical Spa is proud to offer HALO laser acne treatments. The HALO laser is currently the most advanced acne scar removal laser available in the greater Sacramento, CA area.
What is the HALO hybrid factional laser?
Hybrid Fractional lasers deliver both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to the area being treated.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on the severity of your acne scarring. Dr. Khattab will advise you on the number of recommended treatments during your free consultation.
How good are the results?
The HALO laser produces exceptional results. HALO is considered an overall skin rejuvenation laser, so in addition to the reduction in acne scaring, it will smooth out your skin and remove fine lines and wrinkles.
Is the treatment painful?
The HALO laser features a patented cooling device that helps keep you comfortable during the procedure. However, if you have particularly sensitive skin, a topical numbing ointment will be applied to your skin about 30 minutes prior to the procedure. The HALO can be best described as very warm, but otherwise comfortable.
Is there any down time?
There is very limited downtime with the HALO laser. For the first 24 hours, however, we recommend that you avoid sun exposure.
How fast are the results?
You will typically see results within 2-5 days after you procedure, but your skin will continue to improve in subsequent months.
ACell + PRP Injection Therapy
Hair loss is caused by a combination of genetics and hormones.
While it's more common in men than women, approximately fifty percent of men over the age of 50 suffer from male pattern baldness.
Are you in the early to moderate stages of hair loss?
Have you lost faith in the science of hair regeneration when the plugs, foams, oral medications and shampoos didn't work? While you may not be looking for miracles, you are probably looking for progressive improvement.
We have good news! First of all, you are not alone.
ACell + PRP is a revolutionary non-surgical regrowth therapy which is giving millions of hair loss patients like you optimism about the possibility of real hair regeneration. Let us show you how this exciting breakthrough therapy can provide you with results and a brighter future with the possibility of hair regrowth.
The Scientific Discovery of ACell
ACell is a wound healing powder which heals where other advanced therapies often fail.
ACell heals through regenerative medicine and is designated for the therapy of regenerative and tissue repair in wounds and surgical soft tissue repair. In the medical field, the use of ACell has been a game changer. It has resulted in completely healed injuries and improved quality of life.
The late Dr. Alan Spievack was a surgeon and professor at Harvard from 1959-2000.
He was also a Teaching and Research Fellow at Harvard during that time frame. His research on extracellular matrix (ECM) constructs which make up the epithelial basement membrane of mammalian urinary bladders started the development of the UBM technology platform and the founding of ACell in 1999.
Inspired by salamander limb regeneration, Dr. Spievack began his research in cell regeneration in the 1950s.
He discovered an exclusive indication of the epithelial basement membrane: when cut out, a salamander's tail would not regenerate. This was a huge breakthrough: the epithelial basement membrane a thin layer of fibers beneath the epithelium tissue of a cell that exists in every living cell in our bodies is responsible for the constructive remodeling of tissue.
The Manufacturing of ACell
ACell is produced in a sterile laboratory in which the muscle of a pig bladder is scraped to reveal the collagen rich tissue.
The tissue is cleaned and treated in an acid bath and the bladder is dried and ground into a powder. While this may sound off-putting to some, if it works to regrow hair, it is definitely worth considering.
Animal bi-products have been used in cosmetics and science for centuries.
An everyday example of this is chicken marrow which is commonly used in cosmetics as an anti-inflammatory and also for glucosamine to promote new healthy skin growth.
ACell has greatly improved the standard of care and patient quality of life. Upheld by a rigorous quality assurance program,
it is produced and marketed under high quality, safe and effective standards to ensure your safety and care.
ACell is marketed in accordance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
It is also manufactured, stored and distributed in compliance with all federal, state and local specification and accreditation standards. All manufacturing procedures are conducted under stringent controls and distributed devices are free of Latex, Mercury, BPA, and DEHP.
The ACell + PRP Hair Treatment Procedure
The ACell + PRP injectable procedure is so effective
you can have it on your lunch break with little to no down time. The hour-long therapy starts with drawing your blood. Your platelet rich plasma (PRP) will be isolated from your blood and amalgamated with ACell.
Your head will be locally anesthetized and the mixture will be injected into different areas of your scalp.
This micro-needling effectively injects stem cells into your hair follicles to stimulate growth factors to reproduce similar types of cells. This will effectively trigger your sleeping hair follicles to wake up. The function of using the pig bladder is to trick your body into thinking your scalp cells are in a pre-birth state, which reactivates them. It will make your existing hair stronger, and in many cases it will generate new growth.
ACell + PRP injections will act as an antidote to help prevent further hair loss and will help restore your hair.
A protective barrier will form on your scalp to protect your remaining healthy hair-growing cells. The surrounding tissue will then be duplicated, allowing healthy hair-growing stem cells to duplicate and your hair will start to return. In many cases, this breakthrough hair restoration technique has dramatically multiplied the number of hair follicles in areas that had previously been thinning.
With little to no downtime, you will be able to return to your normal routine the same day as your procedure.
Regrowth can start to show over the course of several months. ACell + PRP Hair Treatment is not restricted to the scalp. Thinning, uneven or scarred eyebrows and facial hair can also benefit from this type of therapy. We invite you to discover ACell + PRP and join the millions of hair loss patients like you who are experiencing the possibility of real hair regeneration.
ARTAS Hair Transplants in Sacramento
Do you suffer from male pattern balding?
Have you tried plugs, foams, oral medications and shampoos but with limited results? Would you like to try hair transplants but are not sure if you are a candidate?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in good company.
By age thirty-five 67 percent of American men will experience hair loss. Hair transplants are now a very real option and many men just like you are making the life changing decision to have surgery to restore their hair.
A robotic revolution is occurring in the realm of hair restoration and is offering renewed hope for those who are looking to permanently restore lost hair.
The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant System offers a high-tech solution to a pervasive problem, providing automated hair follicle extraction. This surgery provides a superior and comfortable procedure to conventional methods, with little to no down time.
The ARTAS robotic hair transplant system is a revolutionary treatment that uses robotic precision to select
transplant the most viable follicular units for transplant to the bald portions of your head.
Simply put, it is the most advanced hair transplant system on earth.
The robotic assistance affords doctors the ability to transplant hairs with incredible accuracy, that produces a natural, full head of hair.
How it Works
The ARTAS Robotic System identifies your optimal hairs to use for transplant.
Hair is selectively harvested with robotic precision to preserve the natural look of your donor hair.
Your physician transplants hair into the balding areas.
You will see noticeable, permanent, thicker hair growth in about six months
Why Artas?
Simply put: No other hair transplant system on earth produces more natural, lasting, and robust results. The ARTAS technology takes hair restoration to the next level.
Intelligent Algorithms identifiy and select your optimal hairs for harvesting
Physican-assisted robotic technology delivers robust grafts.
Minimally invasive harvesting preserves the natural look of your donor area.
Fast recovery so you can get back to work and exercise.
The Technology
Usually done manually, the traditional grafting process consists of the extraction of 1,000-2,000 follicles before relocation can commence.
The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant System has revolutionized how hair is grafted because robots are precise and surgery time is reduced by approximately 25 percent. The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant System automatically locates and extracts the optimal donor hairs within the most desirable area using high def imaging and sophisticated computer algorithms.
The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant System is capable of extracting 1000 grafts per hour ready for re-implantation.
The robot arm will line up to each hair follicle and will punch each one out by one millimeter precisely over the follicle. Not only is the robot accurate, it does not fatigue. A doctor, no matter how skilled, can not always match this precision, especially when they have to do this thousands of times.
The Procedure
During your ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant surgery you will be comfortable, relaxed, pain free and able to communicate.
Once your hair is shaved, your scalp will be numbed with a local anesthetic. Your skin will then be gently stretched to prepare for the hair grafting procedure. Under the control of your hair transplant surgeon, the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant System, including digital imaging technology, is launched. Every 20 milliseconds the ARTAS robot will recalculate hair position to achieve the best results from your donor area. Once the grafts are removed, your hair transplant surgeon will implant them by hand as it is not possible for the ARTAS robot to carry out this procedure on the crown. Under local anesthesia it takes about five to seven hours to perform the entire procedure.
There are nominal risks, as with any surgery
but compared to the traditional hair transplant method where you would have a painful incision line with sutures, you can now lie down on a pillow without discomfort. Within 10 days, any sign of surgery will fade, and the hair will start to fill in gradually.
By 18 months you will enjoy full hair growth.
The results are permanent: the hair will grow, need to be trimmed, and it can be styled. Contrary to conventional hair transplant surgery the ARTAS robot does not produce a linear scar so you can wear your hair shorter at your donor site.
The Candidate
Factors such as how advanced your hair loss is, the cause of your hair loss
the amount and compatibility of your donor area hair, your budget, and how you like to wear and style your hair, will determine if the surgery is for you. It's also important to remember, hair transplantation is not restricted to the scalp. Thinning, uneven or scarred eyebrows and facial hair can also benefit from ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant surgery.
While ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplants are not approved by the FDA for women yet, it has been used successfully off-label.
The procedure costs approximately ten to fifteen thousand dollars. As hair transplants are elective treatments, insurance does not usually cover hair transplant surgery.
Hair transplant surgery is now more accessible and affordable than ever with the advent of the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant System.
You will enjoy natural, permanent results. You will be transformed, and discover a renewed self confidence. Remember, you are in good company: hair transplants are now a very real option and many men just like you are making the life changing decision to have surgery to restore their hair.
Broad Band Light Treatments in Sacramento
Broad Band Light. Intensive Skin Rejuvenation.
Elk Grove Medical Spa is seeing incredible results with BBL. Learn how this Broad Band Light is providing a clearer, younger-looking complexion for people throughout the Sacramento area.
F.A.Q.'S
What is BBL?
Broad Band Light, or BBL, is a non-ablative procedure, meaning that it does not damage the surface of the skin, but it gradually and naturally restores a smooth, even surface by diminishing (or eliminating) age spots on the face, hands and chest.
How does BBL work?
BBL delivers high intensity pulses of broadband light that are different from the narrow band light of lasers. The broad band light is delivered to the deeper parts of the skin (dermis) and leaves the superficial aspect of the skin (epidermis) untouched. The thermal effect of BBL also causes production of new collagen, leading to improvement in fine lines.
What can I expect during a BBL treatment?
Given there is little damage to the skin surface, several treatments may be required. For best results, approximately 3-6 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart, may be needed. Side effects can include transient redness and temporary dark pigment resembling coffee grinds in the treated area, which naturally slough off within 5-7 days. Minimizing sun exposure can reduce these side effects. Professional grade sunscreen of SPF 35 is recommended daily through the duration of treatments. BBL can also be combined with Halo Laser skin rejuvenation. By smoothing out wrinkles, improving facial contours along the jawline and clearing up sun and age spots, this combination treatment delivers even more complete facial rejuvenation. Contact Elk Grove Medical Spa today to learn more about Broad Band Light or combination treatment with Halo Laser and our full range of skin treatments designed to help you achieve clearer, smoother, better-looking skin.
Brazilian Butt Lift in Sacramento, Ca
Brazilian Butt lifts are an all natural butt augmentation that produce perky, fuller buttocks and a more sensual body profile. Brazilian Butt Lifts use your own fat and are currently the most natural way to enhance your buttocks profile. Using your own fat, the butt is shaped to be fuller and more shapely. The popularity of this procedure has skyrocketed over the last few years and celebs of all kinds have had the procedure done. Who can benefit from a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Anyone with a flat butt
Anyone with a sagging butt
Anyone who has lost a lot of weight that altered the shape of their buttocks
How we perform the Brazilian Butt Lift
First, liposuction is performed around the buttocks - often on the lower back, thighs and stomach.
This helps shape the buttocks to a certain extent, but the fat is ultimately harvested and refined for injection back into the buttocks.
After the fat is extracted from your body, it is then carefully refined via a centrifuge.
Only the best fat, or about 25%, will qualify to be injected into the buttocks.
Next, the purified fat is injected into the buttocks in small amounts at various depths in order to shape your butt.
Info
How long do the injections last?
When done by a skilled physician who properly refines and injects the fat, Brazilian butt lifts have long-lasting results.
What Happens if I lose Weight?
Nothing! Your injections will remain and your butt will retain it's new, full shape.
What does the recovery time look like?
If you're ready for a fuller, sexier buttocks, contact us for your FREE consultation.
It will take approximately 3 weeks to fully recover from your procedure.
During this time, you must not sit directly on your buttocks.
You must schedule a follow-up appointment with the Dr. to ensure you are healing properly
You will have to wear a compression garment for the first two weeks after your procedure
Breast Implants in Sacramento
Do you want to improve your bustline? Elk Grove Medical Spa offers saline/silicone breast enlargement and natural breast augmentation via fat transfer. Whether you choose traditional saline/silicone enlargement or breast augmentation via a fat transfer, it depends on the results you desire. For a modest increase in your breast size and a more natural appearance, fat transfer breast augmentations are recommended. This procedure entails removing fat from other parts of your body via liposuction and then injecting the purified fat back into your breasts. If, however, you desire a more significant increase to your bustline, saline/silicone implants are recommended. With these procedures, you can:
Increase the fullness of your breasts
Improve the balance of your figure
Improve your self-confidence
Saline & Silicone Breast Implants
Saline and Silicone implants are recommended for women who want a substantial increase to their bust size. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. Saline provides a uniform shape and a firm feel, and is FDA- Approved. Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel. Silicone will provide the most realistic feel. Silicone is also FDA-Approved.
Incisions
Incisions are typically made in inconspicuous areas to reduce visible scarring. Your options of incision will vary on the type of breast implant and the degree of enlargement that you desire.
Downtime
Your breasts will be covered with gauze after your surgery is finished. You may have drainage tubes that will be removed after a few days. In addition, you may be required to wear a surgical bra as you heal.
Botox in Sacramento, CA
Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines with Botox in Sacramento, CA
Do you have unsightly wrinkles and frown lines that you wish you could smooth out and erase? Now you can turn back the hands of time with Botox, a highly refined toxin that reduces muscle activity and prevents the contraction of muscles that cause horizontal forehead lines, vertical frown lines, and crow's-feet. And if the corners of your mouth sag, Botox can take care of that, too.
Will I have that frozen Botox Look?
The infamous Botox face is the result of too much product being injected into the horizontal forehead lines. That's why it's important to work with an experienced doctor who will be able to accurately determine how much Botox is required to achieve your desired results.
Is Botox Painful?
Like any injection on the face, Botox injections can be mildly uncomfortable especially between the eyebrows. You may request that a topical anesthesia be applied to the injection site a few minutes prior to the procedure.
Are there any side effects?
Like any cosmetic procedure, there can be some side effects, but rarely do people have adverse reactions to Botox injections. In about one to five percent of people, droopy eyelids or eyebrows can occur, but this reaction typically goes away within a week.
Is there an ideal age to get Botox?
No! There is no particular age that is best for Botox injections. If you have wrinkles, Botox is always a great option, regardless of age.
How long does Botox last?
You can expect Botox to last 3 to 4 months.
What kind of results can I expect?
Results typically begin to appear in a few days and improve of the course of two weeks. If you're getting Botox for a big event, you may want to do so about two weeks in advance.
Will it be obvious that I got Botox?
When done correctly, Botox injections will leave you looking fresher and more youthful than ever. Your friends may notice that you look more youthful, but when injections are done by a skilled doctor, it will not be obvious. When not done by a skilled physician, the telltale signs of a bad Botox job are a shiny forehead and crows feet that don't move when you laugh or smile. Elk Grove Medical Spa is proud to offer Botox to the greater Sacramento, California area. Call now for a FREE consultation.
Capillus Laser Hair Cap
Capillus272 can be used in a variety of ways to reverse the signs of thinning, shedding, and balding. At Elk Grove Medical Spa, we recommend patients use the Capillus272:
As a stand-alone treatment for hair loss
In conjunction with prescription medications and topical foams
Following hair transplant surgery to improve overall outcome and nourish transplanted follicular units
How Do Laser Caps Work?
Laser caps like the Capillus272 utilize a safe and non-invasive spectrum of laser light to nourish hair follicles and induce all-natural growth. Cool-to-the-touch, these devices are often called cold caps by hair loss professionals who utilize them as part of a hair restoration regimen. The secret behind the effectiveness of hair growth lasers like Capillus is phototherapy. This light-induced biological process improves circulation and cellular respiration both inside the hair follicle, and throughout the surrounding skin. Phototherapy is known to improve the delivery of oxygenated blood and nutrients across the scalp, fueling the growth of thicker and fuller hair. Laser caps are worn beneath a normal baseball cap or hat, providing full coverage and consistent exposure during use. This convenient and hands-free approach to laser hair therapy makes it easy to keep up with regular treatments at home, as prescribed by Dr. Khattab. Lightweight and battery-operated, the Capillus272 is a portable option that is ideal for use both at home and on-the-go. Backed by clinical trials, Capillus272 is known to increase hair volume by up to 51%in the first several months of treatment. Frequently Asked Questions About Capillus Laser Hair Restoration
Do I have to wear Capillus272 every day?
Each patient represents a unique case. Typically, Capillus272 is worn every other day for about 15 minutes. Patients must consult with Dr. Khattab to learn more about individual laser therapy regimens.
How long until I see results?
Many patients notice visible results after just 2 to 4 months of using the Capillus272. However, each patient represents a unique case and results may vary.
Are there any side effects?
No. Laser hair restoration with Capillus272 has no known side effects.
Do I need to cut my hair to begin treatment?
No, most individuals do not have to cut their hair to use the Capillus272. Laser light typically shines around and through individual strands of hair, effectively reaching the scalp to nourish hair follicles.
I'm currently taking Propecia. Can I still use Capillus272?
Yes. Capillus272 can be used in conjunction with other hair loss therapies, like Propecia.
I'm currently taking Rogaine. Can I still use Capillus272?
Yes. Capillus272 can be used in conjunction with other hair loss therapies, like Rogaine.
I plan to have hair transplant surgery in the future. Should I use Capillus272 afterward?
Use of laser therapy after hair transplant surgery has many benefits, including accelerated healing and stabilized hair growth. Speak with Dr. Khattab about improving your overall results with Capillus272 after hair transplant surgery.

Cellulite Treatments in Sacramento
Cellulaze Cellulite Treatments
Cellulite is not your fault. It's caused by numerous factors outside of your control. Cellulaze is the only cellulite treatment that attacks the structural problems beneath the skin.
What Causes Cellulite?
Genetics, aging and hormones play a significant roll in the appearance of cellulite. These factors cause the connective tissue bands beneath your skin to stiffen, causing the fat cells they surround to become larger, pushing them up into your skin, resulting in the unsightly "cottage cheese" appearance you despite.
How It Works
Dr. Khattab marks the areas to be treated with a marker. After applying local anesthesia to numb the areas, tiny incisions, the size of the tip of a pen are made. The small Cellulaze laser fiber is inserted into the incisions and the lumps of fat and dimples are liquified.
Why Cellulaze?
Local anesthesia vs. general anesthesia
Short 1-1.5 hour procedure
Limited pain and bruising
Fast recovery. Get back to work in as little as two days

Fat Transfers to the Face
For patients who have thinning dermis or a drooping face, transferring fat from the stomach to the face can restore significant volume. Fat is taken from the stomach and injected to the cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline and lower eye area. This lifts the face and produces a more youthful looking appearance.
Who Should Get a Fat Transfer to the Face?
As you age, the dermis beneath your skin begins to thin out, leaving the face looking thin, saggy and unhealthy. When you transfer fat to your face, you are filling the area beneath your dermis. This instantly produces an appearance that is many years younger.
Do the injections last?
Absolutely. While some of the fat is lost immediately after the procedure, your doctor will inject more than is required with this fact in mind. Once you fully recover and swelling is reduced, your face will be full and beautiful.
Is this better than Juvederm?
Fat transfers can be used to in larger volumes to fill larger defects in the face. These transfers are also completely natural and contain small amounts of regenerating stem cells.
Fat Transfers to the Hand
Just like the face, aging hands thin over time. And just like facial transfers, fat transfers to the hands use fat from the donor area - most often from the thighs or buttocks. The fat is then cleaned and processed and injected back into the body.
How to Prepare for the Procedure
Dr. Khattab will review your medical history to determine if you are on any prescription medications. Otherwise, you're ready to go!
What to expect after your fat transfer
You may experience some bruising and swelling that will last up to about a week.
Other Reasons to Choose a Fat Transfer
Because you are using fat from your own body, allergic reactions are very uncommon.
Results are long lasting - up to several years
Results are very natural looking
Because an excess of fat is usually harvested, you can also choose to fill facial wrinkles

Kybella is a non-surgical injectable that is used to eliminate moderate to severe double chin chin fat.
How does Kybella work?
Kybella is injected into the fat within your neck. It contains a completely natural molecule that eats away at fat while leaving healthy cells and tissue completely intact.
Is it permanent?
Once Kybella destroys the fat cells, they are never able to regenerate. The fat is gone forever.
How quickly does it work?
Progress is continual over the subsequent weeks and months.
Is this right for me?
If you would like to eliminate your double chin, Kybella is the latest injectable technology.
How many treatments do I need?
It depends on your desired chin profile. Typically, around 3-6 treatments spaced out at least once month apart are required.
Are there any serious side effects?
Just like any other injection area, you may experience some mild pain and swelling.
Laser Eyelid Lift Sacramento
Do you want to tighten and eliminate your droopy eyelids? Now you can with the incredible, non-invasive HALO laser - the only of its kind in the greater Sacramento area! You can quickly lift your eyelids and remove excess skin and fat that causes puffiness.
The Procedure
Unlike traditional eyelid lift surgeries such as Blepharoplasty that make incisions in the eyelid in order to remove excess skin and fat, the HALO laser eyelid lift is completely non-invasive. This new technology is based on the fact that advanced laser technologies can penetrate through the epidermis into the dermis with minimal impact, allowing you to completely recover in just days - not weeks. You will also benefit from the amazing skin resurfacing properties of the HALO laser.
Downtime
Compared to traditional surgical eyelift surgeries, the non-invasive HALO treatment produces very minimal downtime. Many opt to undergo a single treatment session and enjoy beautiful, tight eyelids after just a few days of redness. During the same day of your treatment, you will experience red and puffy eyelids, but this quickly abates after just a few days.
Who Can Get This Procedure?
Anyone! The only requirement for the HALO laser eyelid lift is that you're unhappy with the appearance of your eye area. If you notice signs of aging, the HALO laser will tighten and lift your eyelids, producing glowing, gravity-defying eyes.
Can I wear makeup?
Yes, you can! However, if possible, we recommend that you keep your skin clean and use protective moisturizer to aid healing. Elk Grove Medical Spa offers FREE consultations. We'd love to hear from you! Give us a call at 916.512.8059.
Here's How
One of the biggest advantages of the laser lift is that there are no incisions, and no scarring.
The tightening of your eyelids is achieved by heating and ablating tissue. The laser reacts with the water in your skin, resulting in heat and tightening of the skin.
A typical treatment ablates about 10-33% of the skin and removes damaged collagen - one of the primary contributors to laxity.
The results are immediate, with minimal social downtime.
You will continue to notice tightening, texture, and tone improvements over the next several months.
GentleYAG: Comfortable Laser Hair Removal
With our Gentle Hair Removal system
Elk Grove Medical Spa can help people throughout the Sacramento area say goodbye to shaving, waxing and plucking. Gentle is the only laser hair removal treatment to combine super-fast treatment times with a patented Dynamic Cooling Device. It's powerful and effective for all skin types-and the most comfortable laser treatment available!
Here's how Gentle works to remove unwanted hair
A laser pulse delivers a controlled amount of therapeutic heat into your skin, safely and effectively damaging the hair follicles in the targeted area. Throughout the treatment, the Dynamic Cooling Device minimizes discomfort by releasing a quick burst of liquid cryogen before and after each laser pulse. This cryogen quickly evaporates, cooling the outer layers of the skin. Treatments take anywhere from a few minutes to about an hour, depending on the area being treated. You'll need a few treatments to get optimal results. Here's why:
The hairs on your body are not always at the same stage
so you will need to undergo a few treatments, scheduled an average of six weeks apart, to catch all of them in the growth stage. 80% of patients report permanent hair reduction after four to six treatments!
Plus, the GentleYAG system at Elk Grove Medical Spa is proven effective to treat rosacea and other vascular issues.
You'll be able to achieve clearer-looking skin quickly, safely and effectively.

F.A.Q.'s
Is it painful?
Laser hair removal with Candela Gentle YAG is gentler and much less uncomfortable than electrolysis, waxing or tweezing. Some clients report a mild tingling or stinging sensation during the laser treatment, but many report little or no discomfort. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but Candela Gentle YAG uses a patented cryogen spray system that cools the skin immediately prior to each laser pulse allowing even sensitive areas to be treated in a relatively painless fashion.
What areas can be treated?
Aside from the areas close to the eye, with laser hair removal almost any area of the body can be treated. The inside of the ears and nose must be avoided to prevent damage to sensitive tissues. The most commonly treated areas are face, upper lip, neck, chest, back, underarm, abdomen, legs, bikini and full Brazilian. But many people experience hair growth in other areas that are unattractive or embarrassing. Procedures are performed with discretion and confidentiality regarding your treatment is maintained.
Is it safe?
Laser hair removal is safe as long as patients follow the care instructions of our medical estheticians. Every precaution is taken to ensure that you have safe and effective treatments. Lasers used for laser hair removal are non-ionizing; they do not carry any mutagenic radiation whatsoever. The lasers only have a heating effect.
What should I expect after my treatment?
You should experience some minor redness (erythema) and swelling (edema) on the treated areas during your treatment. Depending on your skin and hair conditions, the redness can last up to 2-3 days and may feel like a sunburn. Patients generally experience the most redness and swelling on larger areas where the hair is more dense and coarse. On smaller areas where the hair is finer, such as a woman's face, the redness and swelling should subside by the end of the treatment, and/or after applying aloe vera gel. Use an SPF 30+ zinc oxide or titanium dioxide sunblock whenever possible before, during, and after the course of your treatments. Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation. Within 1-3 weeks you should start to see shedding of dead hair from your skin. Some of these dead hairs may remain under the skin and appear stuck (pepperspots). You can exfoliate to remove these, but do not use your fingers or tweezers to pick at them. They will eventually work themselves out. You can shave, but not wax or pluck, for 4-6 weeks after your treatment.
Skin Tightening in Sacramento
Improve Sun-Damaged Skin and Facial Contours with Laser Skin Tightening.
The Gentle Yag laser treatment tightens the skin by transferring heat to the deepest layers of the skin. The non-invasive laser gently heats the dermis resulting in a gradual, no downtime, healing response. This proves then causes fibroblasts to stimulate the precursors of collagen, elastin, and other proteins. By activating enough of your own collagen source, wrinkles, and sagging skin can diminish within weeks after the treatment. Gentle Yag Laser is chosen over other skin tightening systems, both for its performance and its comfort.
F.A.Q.'s
What is laser skin tightening?
Laser skin tightening is a minimally invasive, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light source (a laser) to tighten skin by heating the collagen under the skin's surface, causing the skin to contract (tighten). Facial skin tightening is noticeable immediately after the treatment, and there is no downtime, making this an increasingly popular procedure. Additional skin tightening occurs over the next few months, but optimal results usually require two or three treatments about a month apart.
How does it work?
The laser heats up the collagen proteins to specific temperatures, creating a natural biological reaction that causes the collagen to contract and thicken. The result is the beginning of tighter, smoother skin. In addition to the initial thickening of collagen, the body responds in another way to the heating of the collagen fibers. When the skin is wounded, its natural response is to heal the wound by creating new collagen. This creation of new collagen produces results such as the immediate tightening of the skin. It also adds to long-term effects. The procedure can be performed on the face or any other part of the body such as the décolleté, hands, arms, abdomen and legs. The treatment intervals of 2 to 4 weeks are commonly used for a total of 4 to 6 treatments.
What can I expect during laser skin tightening?
During treatment, your laser practitioner will use a small hand piece to apply quick pulses of laser light to your skin. Patients may feel a gradual warming sensation at the treatment area and could feel brief discomfort, which is often described as similar to the sensation caused by a snapping rubber band on the skin. Most patients comment that the discomfort they feel during laser skin tightening is minimal, and it is usually resolved within minutes of the procedure's completion. At Elk Grove Medical Spa, laser skin tightening is a specialty. We have helped people throughout the Sacramento area face the world without sun-damaged skin or loose, sagging jawlines. Contact us to see if laser skin tightening is right for you!
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation
Vaginal Rejuvenation, also known as vaginoplasty, is used to treat vaginal relaxation, a common condition that results from childbirth and aging. Vaginal rejuvenation should not be confused with labiaplasty, which is purely cosmetic in nature and removes portions of the labia. Instead, vaginal rejuvenation is used to firm up the vaginal muscles to help improve sexual gratification. This is achieved by reducing the internal diameter of the vagina by tightening up the internal vaginal muscles. Additionally, LVR can help with stress urinary incontinence, which is the involuntary release of urine when laughing, sneezing or exercising etc.
How long is the LVR procedure?
The procedure takes about one to one and half hours.
Is it painful?
You will be given general anesthesia and a shot on each side of the cervix that reduces pain for up to 24 hours after the procedure. The doctor will also prescribe pain killers for prolonged relief.
How extensive is the downtime?
You can typically return to work within 7 days.
When can I resume sexual activity?
You will be completely healed within five to six weeks. We recommend using a good lubricant for your first sexual encounter after the procedure.
Are there any complications?
The main complications are bleeding and infection, but both are rare.
Laser Vein Treatments in Sacramento
Remove Veins on the Face and Legs
With our GentleYAG system, Dr. Khattab and the experts at Elk Grove Medical Spa can remove vascular issues such as spider veins on the face and legs quickly and easily. We have helped people throughout the Sacramento area get the look they want, and we can do the same for you.
F.A.Q.'s
How does the GentleYAG system remove veins?
GentleYAG uses laser technology, directing powerful yet gentle light-based energy directly into the skin. The laser targets the vein, causing the blood inside it to coagulate. Over time, the vein collapses and eventually disappears. Because the laser energy is directed toward the vein, the surrounding tissue remains unharmed. Patients report that laser pulses deliver a sensation similar to the snapping of a rubber band against the skin. Discomfort is further minimized by GentleYAG's patented DCD cooling device, which releases cooling bursts of cryogen with each laser pulse.
How soon will I see results?
You will need a few treatment sessions to see results. Expect anywhere from two to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Following your treatment regimen, the veins will gradually change color from blue to light red, and they will eventually vanish over the course of two to six weeks after your last session.
Who is a good candidate for laser vein removal?
Our laser vein removal system features a unique design and long wavelength that allows treatment of clients of all skin tones.
Do the treatments hurt?
Most clients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the hand piece. Although no local anesthesia is typically required, you may choose to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.
Are the results from laser treatments for veins permanent?
While there is no cure for veins, once a vein is completely dead and reabsorbed by the body, it should be gone. Due to many factors however, you could form new spider veins that might require touch up treatments.
Gentle Yag Laser Toenail Fungus Treatments
Are you haunted by unsightly toenail fungus? Too embarrassed to wear sandals? Elk Grove Medical Spa is the only facility in the Sacramento area to offer laser toenail fungus treatments with the YAG laser.
What is nail fungus?
Nail fungus, or "onychomycosis" is a fungal infection caused by the fungus dermatophyte. This fungus lives in the dead outer layers of the skin, but eventually infiltrates the nail plate. Traditionally, it is difficult to treat due to the inability to effectively deliver medication into the nail. Traditional methods of treatment include oral and topical medications. However, both require long durations of treatment and are associated with health risks.
How does it work?
Dr. Khattab uses the GENTLE YAG laser to treat toenail fungus. Simply put, it is the most advanced and powerful laser in the world. The YAG laser targets the infected toenail with a powerful wavelength that specifically targets the fungus responsible for the infection.
How many treatments will I need?
On average, you will need approximately 3-4 treatments over the course of several weeks.
Are results instant?
In a sense, yes - the laser immediately kills the fungus that is deep within your nail. However, the outward appearance of the nail does not change - the current nail is damaged forever. However, because the fungus is now dead, new nail growth will not be infected with fungus. As your nail grows, the old fungus-infected nail will be replaced with new, healthy and clear nail growth.
Why the Yag Laser?
The YAG laser is the most sophisticated and powerful laser on the planet
It's painless. The laser has no effect on healthy tissue, only the fungus itself
Fast Treatments - A big toe only takes ten minutes to treat
No adverse reactions! Oral fungus medications can cause liver and kidney damage, but the YAG laser does not produce any adverse reactions and is remarkably effective.
O-Shot in Sacramento
The O-Shot, or "orgasm" shot
is the first non-surgical procedure that helps women become more orgasmic through the use of careful injections near the clitoris and just inside the vagina. It also used to treat urinary incontinence, vaginal atrophy, and pain during intercourse (dyspareunia), and other sexual dysfunction.
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is extracted from the patient's own blood.
The blood is then re-injected in an area near the clitoris and inside the vagina. Prior to the injections, a numbing cream is applied to ensure that the patient is comfortable and experiences very little pain.
The platelets stimulate new cell growth near the injects areas
producing increased sensitivity and more pronounced orgasm. It also helps with urinary incontinence that is common following childbirth.
Here are just a few of the benefits of the O-Shot
Increased arousal during clitoral stimulation
Younger looking vulva skin
A tighter vaginal opening
Stronger orgasms
More frequent orgasms
Increased libido
Increased lubrication
Age Spot & Sun Spots Removal in Sacramento
Looking to remove your sun spots and age spots? Elk Grove Medical Spa is proud to announce that we now carry the PicoWay laser - the only device of its kind in the greater Sacramento area! PicoWay is a state-of-the-art laser designed to treat pigmented lesions such as age spots, sun spots, brown spots, freckles & birthmarks.
What Causes Age & Sun Spots?
Pigmented lesions such as sun spots & age spots are caused by excessive sunlight exposure and other congenital factors. The appearance of these lesions is a result of excessive pigmentation in your skin. Dr. Khattab will evaluate your skin and let you know the type of lesion that is present.
Are my results permanent?
In most instances, yes. Once removed, the pigmented lesions will not return. However, as you continue to age, you may find that your body continues to develop new age spots. If you previously spent a lot of time in the sun, it is advisable to cut back and use sun screen to prevent further damage and pigmentation to your skin.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
A single treatment typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes.
How Many Treatments do I Need?
Because the PicoWay is so powerful and effective, only 1-2 treatments are required for incredible, lasting results.
Is the Procedure Painful?
The PicoWay laser is the most advanced in the world and features faster, shorter duration pulses. This means that the skin absorbs less heat, which allows for a more comfortable procedure with less downtime when compared to less advanced laser technologies.
Are There Side Effects?
Your skin may become darker immediately after treatment, but this is normal. Your lesion may also crust, but will clear up after 1-2 weeks.
How do I care for my skin after my treatments?
Individuals with sensitive skin may benefit from glucocorticoid and antiseptic creams after treatment. You should also avoid sun for for a month.
Is there any downtime?
The best part about the PicoWay laser is that there virtually no downtime! In fact, you can apply makeup right after your treatment. Because this laser technology is so gentle on the skin, you can even come during your lunch hour.
Chin & Jaw Lifts in Sacramento
The Most Advanced Laser for Chin & Jaw Lifts
The Precision TX targets is the perfect laser treatment for people looking to smooth and firm their chin and jawline without surgery. It is a non-surgical laser alternative to a surgical face or necklift.
How Precision Tx Works
Precision Tx is an outpatient procedure. A small cannula is inserted into the dermal layer of the skin. The laser energy is then directed to the neck and jaw area. The gentle but effective laser heat causes the dermal and epidermal layers of skin to tighten. In addition to the instant tightening, this procedure causes new collagen production in the following months.
Is this the right procedure for me?
Precision Tx is idea for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity in the jowls and lower face and neck. If you have severe skin laxity, a surgical lift may be a better option. However, Dr. Khattab will be better able to determine your needs during your free consultation.
How long does it take to recover?
Precision is minimally invasive. Three small incisions are made near the ears and under your chin. These heal very quickly with little to no scarring. You will experience swelling for about 48 hours after the procedure. Dr. Khattab will also outfit you with a compression garment that must be worn for the first 48 hours after your procedure.
Why Laser Tightening?
FDA approved
Minimally Invasive with local anesthesia
Procedure only takes about 1 hour
Limited downtime - you'll be back to normal within 48 hours

It is clinically proven with extensive clinical documentation. It is the most used. Restylane has been used in over 15 million treatments worldwide since the launch in 1996.
How does Restylane work?

Restylane is a soft injectable gel consisting of stabilized, non-animal hyaluronic acid. The gel is tissue-friendly and closely resembles the hyaluronic acid that exists naturally in the body. It is long-lasting but not permanent.
Sculptra in Sacramento
Sculptra is a revolutionary new anti-aging injectable that replaces collagen and restores the fullness of your face by eliminating both shallow and deep wrinkles and folds. Sculptra sets itself apart from other injectables due to the way it works. It restores depleted collagen deep within the dermis over time and lasts over two years. It provides a natural look that will never give your secret away.
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra works deep within the dermis to help replace lost collagen. Your collagen structure is reinforced and provides a foundation that helps gradually restore fullness back to your shallow and deep wrinkles and folds in your face. Sculptra is different because it works over time to restore the fullness to your face - resulting in a long lasting and refined appearance.
Where Can I Use Sculptra?
Sculptra is used to correct shallow to deep wrinkles and folds in the face, and is suitable for treatment of smile lines, marionette lines, chin wrinkles & temple atrophy.
Is Sculptra right for me?
Sculptra is best suited for individuals who want long lasting, natural looking results. The patient should understand that the final result occurs over months as the body gradually increases collagen production. Several treatment sessions are often required to ensure an excellent final result.
How Many Treatments are Needed?
3 injections over the course of several months will leave you with results that can last over two years. However, the number of sessions and injections will vary from person to person depending on the severity of wrinkles.
Is there any after care?
Within the first 24 hours of your injection, place a cloth-wrapped ice pack on the injected area for a few minutes at a time. This helps reduce swelling. Your physician will also advise you to massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day to ensure equal disbursement of the Sculptra in the dermis.

Smart Liposuction in Greater Sacramento

Spider Vein Treatments in Sacramento
Eliminate your spider veins with Elk Grove Medical Spa's Gentle YAG laser.
How it Works
The spider veins on your legs are targeted by the "gold standard" of lasers, the Gentle YAG. The laser light is absorbed by the Hemoglobin in your blood, which heats the blood and eliminates the unsightly spider veins.
What are spider/varicose veins?
These unsightly veins are caused by the dilation of a group of blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. Although they can appear anywhere on the body, they are most often found on the face and legs.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a procedure for treating spider veins on the legs. These unsightly veins do not cause health problems, but are removed for aesthetic reasons.
How is the HALO laser different from traditional Sclerotherapy?
Traditional Sclerotherapy uses a small needle to inject concentrated saline into the vein. This causes the vein to collapse and become scar tissue that is absorbed by the body. The HALO laser, however, is completely non-invasive and uses laser light to target the spider veins. The hemoglobin in the blood absorbs the heat, causing the vein to collapse and be absorbed by the body. The vein will slowly disappear over the next few days and weeks as the body works on removing the collapsed vein material.
Am I a good candidate?
Spider veins do not generally cause health problems and are most often removed purely for aesthetic reasons. If you are self-conscious about these veins on your body, then you are good candidate to have them removed.
Is it a painful procedure?
The HALO laser produces very little pain, and uses a patented cooling device to help keep you comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the severity of your veins. Dr. Khattab will consult with you to determine the number of treatments required.
What kind of results can I expect?
The results of the treatment are not immediate. The vessels will gradually become a lighter red and disappear in two to six weeks.

Stretch Mark Removal in Sacramento
Laser Stretch Mark Removal
Elk Grove Medical Spa offers stretch mark removal treatments with the Halo laser - the most advanced, non-invasive technology for stretch mark removal in the greater Sacramento, CA area.
What Causes Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks occur when your body grows faster than your skin. Most often, this happens during pregnancy when a swollen belly quickly outpaces the growth of skin. The elastic fibers just beneath the skin break, causing unsightly stretch marks. Most women experience stretch marks on their belly, but they can show up on thighs, buttocks and upper arms.
Can I prevent stretch marks?
Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent stretch marks. Don't be fooled by creams and lotions out on the market - they don't work. However, you can help to decrease the severity of your stretch marks by keeping your skin moisturized. The more moisture you skin contains, the more "give" it will have when during pregnancy.
Will my stretch marks fade naturally?
While some women are fortunate enough to have skin that rebounds quickly, most women find that their skin is forever marked. The best time to treat stretch marks, however, is while they're still new and reddish in color. The HALO laser at Elk Grove Medical Spa is powerful, less painful, and has very limited downtime.
About the HALO procedure
HALO is a hybrid fractional laser that uses both ablative and non-ablative technology. It features an innovative cooling mechanism to keep you more comfortable. Best of all, the procedure requires no downtime.
How many treatments do I need?
It is impossible to say how many treatments you might need without looking at the severity of your stretch marks. On average, however, most women need around 3 treatments for best results spaced several weeks apart.
Who Gets Stretch Marks?
Around 90% of women will get stretch marks around the sixth or seventh month of pregnancy. Lighter complexion women develop pinkish stretch marks, while darker skinned women develop marks that are lighter than their skin tone.
Genetics
Genetics play a big role in whether or not you will get stretch marks. If your mother had stretch marks, for instance, you are more likely to get them.
Weight Gain
Significant weight gain and weight loss causes your skin to stretch as your weight fluctuates.
Tattoo Removal in Sacramento
Elk Grove Medical Spa is proud to announce that we now offer tattoo removal treatments with the most advanced tattoo removal laser in the world - the PicoWay. This new technology uses patented bursts of energy called "picosecond pulses" that are one trillionth of a second. These extreme bursts of energy break up tattoo ink into smaller particles that are easily removed by the body. The shorter pulses deliver more powerful, efficient pulses of energy that allow for fewer treatments - 3-6 compared to 8-12, depending on your tattoo.
Why PicoWay?
Fewer Treatments
Because PicoWay is so powerful and efficient at breaking up tattoo ink, fewer treatments are required for removal. With older laser technologies, 8-12 treatments are often needed. With PicoWay, however, we see between 3 and 6 treatments being required for complete removal, depending on the size, color and location of your tattoo.
Faster Results
The success of tattoo removal depends on how well a laser breaks down ink particles. And this is where PicoWay really shines - its short, optimized pulses of energy shatter ink particles and make it easier for the body to remove.
Less Heat
Because PicoWay uses shorter, more optimized bursts of energy, less heat is transferred to the skin. This means a faster, more comfortable tattoo removal experience.
Tickle Liposuction in Sacramento
We are proud to offer Tickle Liposuction to the greater Sacramento, California area. With very limited downtime, and the ability to meticulously sculpt the body, Tickle Liposuction offers an incredible number of benefits. This new technology uses low frequency infrasonic vibration that liquefies fat cells without damaging any of the surrounding tissue.
Tickle Liposuction is a Fast Procedure
Ticke Lipo is estimated to be up to 25% faster than traditional lipo. This is achieved through the use of a state-of-the-art vibrating cannula that quickly eliminates unwanted fat.
No General Anesthesia Required
Tickle Lipo is remarkably comfortable and nearly pain-free. This is possible because of the 10Hz frequency at which the cannula vibrates. The vibration activates the nerves that block the transmission of pain signals to the brain. This is where Tickle Lipo gets its name from - you will feel a tickling sensation instead of pain during the procedure.
Superior Contouring and Smoother Results
Many liposuction techniques use heat or ultrasound that can cause an uneven appearance. Tickle Lipo, however, uses infrasonic energy to break down fat cells. The result is a smoother, more refined overall appearance.
One of the Safest Forms of Liposuction
Tickle lipo features a state-of-the-art technology that immediately shuts off the cannula when contact is made with non-fatty tissues. This ensures that only fat is destroyed and healthy tissue is preserved.
FAQs
What is the recovery time like?
You can be back to work in as little as 1 day. Because general anesthesia is not used, you can be back up on your feet as soon as the procedure is finished. However, you will have to wear a pressure garment for 1-4 weeks to ensure the best results.
How good are the results?
Results are immediate, but will vary from person to person. The areas where the lipo was performed with continue to improve over several weeks and months.
What areas of the body can I get Tickle lipo on?
Most often Tickle Lipo is performed on the thighs, back, abdomen and buttocks, but other areas can be treated.
Tumescent Liposuction in Sacramento
Elk Grove Medical Spa is proud to offer Tumescent Liposuction to patients in the greater Sacramento area. Tumescent lipo is special because it eliminates the need for intravenous sedatives, narcotic analgesics, or general anesthesia. Instead, a solution of local anesthesia is injected directly into the fat. The vasoconstriction and numbing is so profound that there is minimal bleeding and no need for traditional anesthesia.
What is the tumescent lipo technique?
The tumescent technique involves the injection of large volumes of diluted lidocaine (anesthetic) and epinephrine (shrinks capillaries) into subcutaneous fat. This makes the area designated for liposuction swollen and firm and produces a long-lasting numbing effect that eliminates the need for general anesthesia.
How much blood is lost during Tumescent liposuction?
Blood loss is very minimal - 1 to 2 teaspoons. To put this into perspective, it is about the same amount of blood that is taken at the doctors.
Does this type of liposuction really decrease bruising?
This is one of the reasons why tumescent liposuction in Sacramento is so fantastic. When compared to other liposuction techniques that require general anesthesia, there is significantly less bruising. There are two reasons for this. First, because there is such a small amount of blood loss, there is very little blood left beneath the skin. The second reason is that there is post-operative drainage of both blood and anesthetic.

Local anesthesia is so effective that there is no need for traditional sedatives
Tiny incisions! Forget scarring!
Minimal surgical blood loss - 1 to 2 teaspoons

Ultherapy in Greater Sacramento
Ultherapy, an amazing facial rejuvenation procedure offered by Elk Grove Medical Spa, is delivering dramatic results for patients throughout the Sacramento area. The proprietary Ultherapy procedure is the only non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound and the body's own natural healing process to lift and tighten loose skin on the eyebrow, neck and under the chin. The only FDA-cleared procedure to lift skin on these hard-to-treat areas, Ultherapy uses the safe, time-tested energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin-including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift-without disturbing the surface of the skin.
Ultherapy Delivers Natural, Noticeable Results
Now there's a way to stand firm in the face of gravity-on your terms. With Ultherapy, there's no downtime, no foreign substances, no radical change; just a healthy revving-up on the inside for a natural, noticeable effect on the outside. With Ultherapy, you can go about your day after a single, 60-90 minute in-office procedure. You may notice a short-term "boost," but the natural process of creating new, more elastic collagen builds over time-much like the effect that exercise has on building muscle (but without the multiple workouts!).
The Beauty of Ultherapy
Results will unfold over the course of 2-3 months and some patients have reported continued improvement for up to 6 months, including lifting of the skin on the neck, under the chin and on the brow. While ultrasound does not duplicate the results of surgery, Ultherapy has proven to be an inviting alternative for those who are not yet ready for surgery.
F.A.Q.'s
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a new non-invasive treatment option that utilizes ultrasound to tighten, tone and lift sagging skin on the face. Many call it the "non surgical facelift" or skin tightening.
Which areas does Ultherapy target?
Ultherapy can target many areas. The most popular are the brow, neck, jaw line, chin and cheeks.
Can Ultherapy be performed instead of a surgical facelift?
While Ultherapy leaves patients with youthful-looking skin, its results cannot be compared to those of a surgical facelift, which is more aggressive.
How does Ultherapy work?
Ultherapy specifically targets the collagen-producing layer deep beneath the skin, the same layer that is targeted during a surgical facelift.
Am I a candidate for Ultherapy?
You may be a candidate for Ultherapy if you have loose skin on your eyebrows or eyelids but are not yet ready for facelift surgery.
How should I prepare for Ultherapy?
No special preparations are necessary before Ultherapy.
What happens during an Ultherapy session?
During an Ultherapy session, the skin on your face is cleansed and then the ultrasound hand piece is applied to your face.
Is Ultherapy painful?
Patients may experience some discomfort during Ultherapy, although we offer many ways to lessen the discomfort.
What happens after Ultherapy?
Temporary redness, swelling or tingling may occur after Ultherapy; however, these typically subside quickly.
How soon after Ultherapy will I see results?
Ultherapy may begin to produce noticeable results immediately, and most patients see results within 2-3 months.
How many Ultherapy treatments will I need?
One Ultherapy treatment is usually enough, although some patients may benefit from additional treatments. See what Ultherapy can do for you! Contact Elk Grove Medical Spa today for more information.

What is cellulite?
Cellulite occurs primarily in women but sometimes in men as well. Cellulite is caused by uneven tension within the hypodermal layer of fat, creating an uneven skin surface and dimpling. Hypertrophied adipocytes, trapped lymph and poor circulation all contribute to the cellulite phenomenon.

The Vela treatment can be applied to any body area that may need contouring: thighs, abdomen, arms, flanks and more. Wherever cellulite is bothersome for a patient, the Vela line of devices offers an effective solution to help solve the problem.

FDA cleared the device as safe and effective for all skin types and colors. Short term effects can include mild bruising or redness.

For optimized results, these patients should also be committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The treating clinician has the final determination for choosing the best candidates for the treatment.
What is the feeling during treatment?
Most patients claim that the treatment is pleasant, followed by a deep heating sensation beneath their skin.
How will I feel after treatment?
It is normal to have an inner heated sensation for up to a few hours post treatment. In some cases, mild redness can be observed.
How many inches can I reduce from my circumference?

Juvéderm Voluma in Sacramento
Elk Grove Medical Spa is now proud to offer Juvéderm Voluma. Juvéderm Voluma is primarily used to restore volume to the cheeks, reducing drooping skin and producing a more youthful appearance.
How is Juvéderm Voluma Different from Botox?
Botox is traditionally used to eliminate wrinkles around the eyes, nose and mouth. Juvéderm Voluma, however, is used to add fullness to the cheeks. However, if you are looking for the ultimate in facial rejuvenation, both Botox and Juvéderm Voluma can be administered for fantastic results. Clinical trials have shown that individuals who received Juvéderm Voluma looked five years younger, and the results lasted up to two years.
Why do you lose volume in your face as you age?
Your body naturally produces Hyaluronic Acid, or HA. As you age, you start to lose HA, which causes your skin to lose structure and volume.
How does Voluma work?
Juvéderm is a gel that is injected into the cheek to correct volume loss. Once injected, results are instant - you will see a subtle lift that will help restore the contour of your face.
How is Voluma different from other fillers?
It is the only filler that is FDA approved to instantly add volume to your cheeks. It also lasts up to 2 years.
Are Voluma Injections Painful?
No. Voluma contains lidocain to help numb your cheeks. You may also request additional topical numbing agents to make your injections as comfortable as possible.
How Long does Voluma Last?
Up to two years, but results may vary.
Is Voluma right for me?
If you're over the age of 21 and notice flattening or sagging of the skin in your cheek area, then Voluma is the best way to lift and rejuvenate your cheek profile.
