The Lickstein Plastic Surgery Med Spa is Officially Open!
The new Lickstein Plastic Surgery MedSpa makes my little beauty educator self want to jump up and down and scream in excitement like a kid in a candy store!
On October 7th, The Lickstein Plastic Surgery practice had the official Grand Opening and a Virtual Open House to show everyone all the new and exciting treatments and technologies they have to offer right in the heart of Downtown at The Gardens. The new Med Spa is like a wonderland for beauty lovers, with every room being more exciting than the next, featuring all the latest and greatest in beauty technologies in one place, leaving me trying to decide what to do first!
The virtual open house featured the gorgeous and tranquil environment that has been perfectly curated to give patients the best in beauty and the most enjoyable and relaxing experience. The moment you walk through the door, you will be greeted by their lovely staff and the incredibly talented medical team.
I was honored to participate in the LPS Virtual Open House as a patient representative and to be able to share everything and everyone that the new Med Spa has to offer.
The evening started with a ribbon-cutting surrounded by the entire LPS team and a warm welcome by Lisa Lickstein. Next, Dr. Lickstein and Clinical Director Christina Hobgood Naugle welcomed everyone to the new Med Spa. Viewers were then introduced to Dr. Lickstein, Dr. Forleiter, and surgical coordinator Lisa Londy who shared exciting information about the practice before viewers were guided through the beautiful new facility.
We started our tour experience meeting Christina Hobgood Naugle, PA-C Clinical Director and one of the top 100 Best Aesthetic Injectors in America, in 2021. Christina explained how the Lickstein Plastic Surgery practitioners provide annual rejuvenation consultations to help patients plan their beauty investments for the upcoming year. This yearly visit is a helpful service that allows patients to discuss their goals and concerns and create a customized plan to achieve those goals, including the signature Lickstein Lift.
Christina also shared the new Med Spa's laser services, including my personal favorite, the Halo, and more specifically, the exciting and effective combo of the Halo and BBL laser. The Lickstein Plastic Surgery practice has perfected this process. While Christina gave us a glimpse into what you can expect when you have this service, I can tell you from personal experience that this laser not only gives you radiant, glowing, beautiful skin that looks like you have a filter permanently on your face, the lengths they go to for their clients to feel comfortable and achieve the best results possible far exceeds the laser experience you will have anywhere else.
If you are looking to treat fine lines, sunspots, dull skin, uneven skin texture, and any other aging and environmental effects to your skin non surgically and with minimal downtime, then the Halo and/or the BBL Laser could be an excellent option for you. These laser treatments are completely customizable and very effective.
The Facial Room was next up on our virtual tour, where we met Aestheticians Janet and Beverly. One look at these ladies' gorgeous glowing skin, and you'll be begging them to give you your personalized skincare plan. This dynamic duo explained all the fascinating facial treatments that the Med Spa has to offer, such as the HydraFacial, Salt Facial, Diamond Glow Facial, Vivace Micro-needling, and even Keravive scalp treatments to cleanse, nourish, and hydrate your scalp for healthier, fuller hair and hair rejuvenation.
Each of these facials is so special, and these ladies will help you determine the right plan for your specific skin type and skincare needs. These facials can be used alone or in conjunction with lasers and injectables to get you looking and feeling like your best and most beautiful self. They have a wealth of knowledge, and the best part about all of this is that not only will you leave with beautiful skin, but you are also taking care of yourself in another way by giving yourself the gift of time to relax and be pampered.
Plus, ever wonder what skincare products you should be using to maintain and complement the results of your facials and other beauty treatments? Well, look no further - Janet and Beverly are ready to assist you in keeping your skin top-notch in between appointments as well.
Next, we visited Leah Verdream PA-C in one of the injection rooms, where she explained the various neurotoxins available to patients. Leah is a board-certified and licensed Physician Assistant with over a decade of clinical experience. While Leah focused on teaching us about all the different neurotoxin options available during the virtual open house, she focuses on aesthetic rejuvenation with filler and lasers as well for her patients. In addition, Leah uses her superior assessment skills to help patients develop a customized treatment plan to address their rejuvenation goals.
Leah explained the many neurotoxin options that Lickstein Plastic Surgery Med Spa offers, such as Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin. She gave us a quick rundown of the benefits and differences of each. She also shared what neurotoxins are used to treat such as, forehead wrinkle and lines, frown lines, the dreaded "11's", horizontal lines across the bridge of the nose (bunny lines), crows feet (because who wants feet on their face?) and, drooping in the brow line.
If you feel a little overwhelmed by all the neurotoxin options, Leah is here for you to help you pick the best wrinkle eraser for your personal needs.
Following learning about all the Neurotoxin options, we met with Shayna Fasanella, PA-C, to discuss all things fillers. Shayna is a board-certified and licensed Physician Assistant with a passion for cosmetic treatments. Shayna focused her studies on skin health and suturing, and she now shares her talent and expertise with her patients with customized non-surgical options combining artistry and science.
Shayna taught us all about dermal fillers and the various filler options and areas of the face filler is used to treat. If neurotoxins help to temporarily remove or reduce wrinkles, fillers help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and folds, restore volume and fullness, enhance features, and overall plump and lift the face.
Lickstein Plastic Surgery offers Juvéderm and Restylane products, as well as Sculptra, RHA, Radiesse, and Belotaro. Dermal Fillers can treat the upper face and fill in hollow areas, the lower face to stimulate collagen production and fill in depressed areas, under the eyes, in the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and enhance the jawline.
It's natural to feel overwhelmed by all these options. However, by visiting any of the many talented and experienced practitioners on the LPS team, they will help guide you to the best opportunity to achieve the results of your dreams.
If all this talk of injections is making you nervous, not to worry at all because, at the Lickstein Plastic Surgery MedSpa, their goal is to make you as comfortable as possible and numbing agents are always an option to help calm your concerns as well as numb the physical pain. Once you see how fabulous you look, those pesky tiny needles will be the last thing on your mind!
Once we learned all about how to keep our faces and scalps in tip-top shape, we popped in to see Trish in the Body Contouring Room. Trish has all the latest and the greatest in body technology in her room of wonders. She can freeze your fat with Coolsculpt, tone, tighten, and burn fat with the Emscuplt Neo, and strengthen your pelvic floor with the new Emsella Chair.
Trish listens to patients' concerns and goals and helps them determine the best treatment plan for them. The best part is that with so many treatment options, you can combine technologies to have your body looking and feeling as fit as possible.
CoolSculpting is perfect for getting rid of those stubborn fat bulges that diet and exercise just won't. Coolsculpting is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction that freezes and destroys fat cells that your body then eliminates through natural processes. In as little as an hour, you can contour your body and, in a few weeks, be left with a leaner and shapelier physique.
Coolsculpt helps eliminate pinchable fat and can be used on submental fat underneath the chin, upper arms, stomach, midsection, hips, flanks, love handles, inner and outer thighs, and upper and lower back.
If muscle building, skin tightening, and fat burning are what you are looking for, look no further than the Emsculpt Neo. The Emsculpt Neo is a 30-minute treatment session, and with multiple sessions, you can build muscle, burn fat, and tighten skin. Imagine doing 20,000 reps of crunches, squats, bicep curls, all while laying down in the comfort of the body contouring room! It's fast, easy, non-invasive, and effective. The Emscuplt Neo has three settings to assess all your concerns and is safe and effective for use on the abdomen, glutes, arms, and calves.
The newest machine that the Lickstein Plastic Surgery Med Spa has to offer is the Emsella chair. All you must do is sit in this chair, and it's like doing 20,000 Kegel exercises in only 30 minutes! This unique technology revolutionizes women's personal health and wellness. While the Emsella chair helps women experiencing incontinence, it has many other benefits for those who aren't! Your pelvic floor muscles are the layer of muscles that support your pelvic organs. They span the bottom of your pelvis, which helps you not only have to use public restrooms less often, but it reinforces your entire core and is helpful for your overall health and wellbeing.
Once Trish taught us about all the many-body contouring machines and technology options, we were joined again by Christina and also Dr. Forleiter to learn all about QWO and Kybella.
QWO Cellulite Treatments are simple injections that can eliminate the appearance of bumps or dimples on the buttocks to create a smoother and firmer appearance to the skin. Kybella is another specialized injectable treatment that can help define the chin and jawline by reducing excess fat underneath the chin.
The last stop on our tour was to the Lash and Permanent Makeup room. Here I was joined by Karen Nova Lash Artist Extraordinaire; with 20 years of experience, she will give you the lush lashes that we all desire! The best part, after a single 2-hour initial appointment, you'll only have to visit her every three weeks to keep your lashes looking long and luscious.
Unfortunately, the resident permanent makeup artist was unable to join us for the virtual open house. However, I had the pleasure of meeting with her and getting a consultation before the grand opening and, if microblading and lip blushing are on your beauty wish list, look no further than Korina, Lickstien Plastic Surgery Med Spa's permanent makeup artist. She will have your brows and lips looking picture-perfect morning, noon, and night - rain or shine.
Korina provides complimentary consultations to help patients access their permanent makeup needs and set realistic expectations. She will go through exactly what to expect, what your long-term results and maintenance will be, and help you decide what treatment is right for you.
She suggests bringing in a visual goal (picture) and having your makeup done the way you would like your permanent makeup to look when coming in for your consultation. She will then assess your facial structure and features to develop a mutually agreed-upon shape and map to give you the brows and/or lip coloring of your dreams!
On my way out, I had the absolute pleasure of being introduced to the best massage therapist in town, Todd Saunders. Whether you are looking for a relaxing massage, a sports massage, deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, or post-surgical massage, he is your man! Todd gives excellent massages, sure to get you feeling better in as little as an hour.
