Due to the higher concentrations of active ingredients in our products, your skin care program may make you red, flaky and dry; however, these are signs of good skin stimulation and will subside with continued use.

In the first six weeks, you may notice redness, dryness, exfoliation, more sensitivity and occasional “burning” or “itching.” The skin may get worse before it gets better. We are here to help you with any questions you may have during this acclimation period. In the second six weeks, side-effects should subside in intensity, and you should experience reduced exfoliation or flaking. At this time, you should notice visible skin improvement. After twelve weeks, you should have minimal skin reaction. Keep up your products, as maintenance is required to keep results! Now is a good time to check back in with your aesthetician to make any appropriate changes to your regimen.

We understand that sometimes it is not practical to be red and peeling and can adjust your program to your needs if you have a special event or function you need to work around. Just let us know and we can give you a plan.

In order to maintain the results that you receive from a peel in the office, it is very important to continue to stimulate your skin throughout the year. That is why we recommend an at home skincare plan. Remember, we want to continue to shed the old skin cells off of the surface of the skin and create new, fresh skin cells to maintain a youthful appearance.

The ZO skin care products are a comprehensive program designed to work synergistically. However, in your transition phase, your aesthetician can show you how to work your ZO products into your current program until you are ready to transition fully to the ZO Skin Health line.

Yes, every person is a candidate to receive VISIA.

It typically takes about 10-20 minutes to complete the VISIA and review your results.

Yes, it is critical that your face is completely clean with no makeup, sunscreen, or other products to ensure the most accurate results.

No, not at all. The VISIA Skin Analysis in Toledo is completely pain-free; it is just like taking a picture.

Clinical studies confirm that it is a misconception that hair grows back thicker or darker with Dermaplaning, it does not increase recurrent hair growth.

For optimal results, most patients should undergo professional dermaplaning around once a month. As the body typically replaces skin cells every month, this frequency ensures the removal of old cells and stimulates new cell production to reveal healthy skin.

Dermaplaning enables effective and comprehensive exfoliation, leading to improved skin health. It involves advanced aesthetic training and provides better results than shaving, which only removes hair and is more superficial.

No, there is no downtime with the EVOLV facials. You can go back to normal activity immediately afterwards.

We offer different types of facials for each skin type, so depending on which option you select and any additional add-on services you request, the treatment may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

You can receive a facial treatment weekly. Ideally, we prefer to treat our patients every 4-6 weeks to ensure consistency and optimal results.

The HydraFacial MD™ is beneficial for all skin types and infuses treatment products, which is more effective than a microdermabrasion which is primarily simple mechanical exfoliation.

No, there is no downtime with HydraFacial MD™ therapy at EVOLV. You may resume normal activity immediately after the HydraFacial MD™ treatment and will enjoy immediate as well as long lasting benefits.

You can expect to feel your results for five to seven days post treatment. Continuing regular treatments allows for longer-lasting results and better correction of your skin issues.

For this therapy, we recommend a HydraFacial MD™ treatment every four to six weeks to maintain optimal results.

At EVOLV, we offer very comprehensive HydraFacial MD™ treatments in Toledo with additional steps to enhance your results, so our treatment lasts 45 minutes.

Modifications can be made to HydraFacial MD™ treatments to safely benefit and enhance skin health during pregnancy.

No, there is no downtime.  You may resume normal activity immediately after the HydraFacial Perk treatment.

Ideally the Perk Eye and Lip treatments should be repeated every 1-2 weeks.

You can expect to feel your results for 7-10 days post treatment. Continuing regular treatments and a personalized medical skin care regimen can improve the quality and longevity of your results.

Yes, Frozen C and other cryotherapy treatments are FDA Cleared and clinically proven to be safe when performed by trained providers. The advanced cryotherapy technology we utilize at EVOLV is designed to be gentle on skin while still creating positive changes that patients can see and feel.

This will depend on your skin as well as your desired cosmetic goals. Whether you are using cryotherapy as a standalone treatment, or you are requesting it as an add-on with our other EVOLV facials, cryotherapy yields the best results when performed in a series of three or more.

This depends on what device is being used as well as if the treatment is being done in conjunction with one of our other services. Most of our EVOLV skincare treatments take 30-45 minutes.

At EVOLV, we utilize the Frozen C device to improve comfort during injections and other minor cosmetic procedures. It can be performed before and after treatment to also calm the skin, reduce inflammation and redness, minimize bruising, and shorten downtime.

Botox® injections are safe and noninvasive treatments with minimal risks and only mild side effects. You may experience light headaches, nausea, or slight pain or swelling at the injection sites, but these are temporary.  

Some side effects include headaches, nausea, and mild pain or swelling at the injection sites.

There is virtually no downtime required after Botox^® Cosmetic treatments. You may experience some redness, swelling or bruising at the injection site, which typically subsides a few hours or days after your procedure.  It is very important that you do not rub or massage the injection site for the first 3 hours after treatment so that the botulinum toxin does not spread to other, unwanted areas. This can affect other important muscles and cause facial weakness or asymmetry.

Results typically last three to five months, and we recommend touch-up sessions to maintain your desired outcome. 

You may notice results within 24 to 48 hours, but it could take up to one week for the treatment to take effect.  As with all aesthetic procedures at EVOLV, a personalized medical skin care program can extend your treatment results significantly.

The most common reaction that patients experience is mild to moderate swelling or bruising. Some notice temporary numbness or redness, palpable lumps or firm areas at the injection sites, and a slightly swollen appearance of the treated areas. Most conditions can be alleviated with topical icing and massage and will improve within hours or a few days after treatment. Be sure to discuss your recovery and treatment plan with your provider so you know what reactions to anticipate and how to properly care for the treatment areas.  Clinically proven oral supplements and topical products are available to reduce swelling and potential downtime.

Recovery time varies for each patient. Most activities can be resumed immediately, but it is generally recommended that you avoid intense physical activity for the first 24-48 hours after your treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.

Dermal Fillers have variable longevity and can last anywhere from 6-24 months depending on the type of filler product, volume injected, the individual and the area treated.

The number of treatment sessions will vary based on the amount of fat under the chin and your treatment goals. Normally 2-4 treatments are needed, and they are spaced 1-2 months apart. Up to 5 or 6 treatments may be necessary to achieve desired results in some cases.

The most common side effects of KYBELLA^® include swelling, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area.

The active ingredient in KYBELLA^® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. This acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA^® permanently destroys fat cells.

When injected into fat under the chin, KYBELLA^® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat and are eliminated from the body.  After reaching your desired aesthetic goals, further treatment is not expected.  As with all aesthetic procedures at EVOLV, a personalized medical skin care program can extend your treatment results significantly.

Patients who receive a Sculptra® in Toledo in a series should expect to see improvement within four to eight weeks of treatment, but full results might not be seen for up to nine months.

Typically, patients require approximately four to six Sculptra® treatments spaced six weeks apart to see significant improvement in their wrinkles or hollowed facial characteristics. Generally, one maintenance treatment per year is recommended to maintain results.

The main side effect that patients experience is mild to moderate swelling or occasional bruising. Some notice temporary numbness or redness, palpable lumps, or firm areas at the injection sites. Most conditions can be alleviated with topical icing and will improve within hours or a few days after treatment. Be sure to discuss your recovery and treatment plan with your provider so you know what reactions to anticipate and how to properly care for the treatment areas.

Recovery time varies for each patient. Most activities can be resumed right away, but it is generally recommended that you avoid intense physical activity for the first 24-48 hours after your treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.

Since this injectable filler regenerates your body’s collagen production, results can last for more than two years.  As with all aesthetic procedures at EVOLV, a personalized medical skin care program can extend your treatment results significantly.

Anyone who has had recent sun exposure, open wounds, inflammatory or disease compromised skin, is taking Accutane, pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Downtime can range from none to 1 week of social downtime depending on the type of chemical peel utilized, the quality of preparation and each patient’s skin type.

At EVOLV, chemical peels typically cost between $90 – $300.

Dependent on the peel that you select, your discomfort will range from minimal to mild.

You will only peel with moderate to the more aggressive peels. At EVOLV, we offer a wide range of chemical peels that allow our providers to customize your treatment depending on your goals and concerns.

This non-invasive procedure typically involves minimal downtime but will depend on skin type and treatment levels. Immediately after your treatment, you may notice some redness, which will heal within a few hours. The first few days following the procedure, you may also notice that the pigmented lesions darken, followed by fading and flaking off the epidermis, revealing healthier and more youthful skin.  Excess blood vessels and rosacea may improve immediately as well over time.

You will begin to see visible improvement and reduction in the signs of aging in the skin within a few days or weeks after your treatment. The treated area will appear clearer and youthful, with an improved complexion and a reduction age spots and vessels.

Depending upon the severity of your skin concerns, multiple treatments are typically needed for best results. Typical BBL™ packages include three treatments. During your consultation, we will create a customized plan based upon your individual needs.

LightStim for wrinkles utilizes multiple wavelengths of amber, red, and infrared LEDs. The LED light penetrates the top layer of skin increasing cellular energy and promoting collagen and new cell production resulting in the visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, the reduction of inflammation and more youthful skin.

No, there is no down time. You may resume normal activity immediately after treatment.

Yes, there is no need to change your skincare regimen. You can even apply most anti-aging serums and moisturizers before using the Light.  However, products that can cause dryness or irritation such as benzoyl peroxide, Retin-A, or products containing Vitamin A or alcohol should only be applied after.  Your EVOLV licensed aesthetician or professional provider can advise you on the optimal medical skin care regimen to optimize your results.

HALO laser in Toledo is a unique and comprehensive skin revitalization treatment. You will see overall improvements in multiple aspects of your skin including a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduced pore size and overall skin “glow.”  Most patients also experience an improvement of sunspots and hyperpigmentation, a healthier and more youthful complexion, and a reduction in precancerous skin lesions (actinic keratosis).

With a topical anesthetic and integrated cooling technology, most patients tolerate the treatment very well. Patients describe the treatment as a sensation of heat with occasional prickling sensations. At EVOLV, we also offer Frozen C cryotherapy and Pro-Nox Nitrous Oxide system for improved comfort during treatments. After the treatment, most patients will continue to feel warm for an additional 1-2 hours and possibly longer for those undergoing more aggressive treatments.

For the first 24 hours you should keep your skin protected according to your provider’s instructions, but after that you should be able to go about your normal activities. After the first 24 hours, you will be able to put on makeup. At EVOLV, we recommend using a professional mineral-based makeup such as Jane Iredale. The day of your treatment you may experience redness, and your skin will feel warm and appear swollen. After two to three days, you will develop a light bronzing appearance. By day three or four your skin will peel, revealing your rejuvenated and revitalized complexion.

You will see initial results between two and five days after your Halo™ treatment, but your skin will continue to improve over time. Most patients see the greatest skin improvement in the first two to three weeks. This is followed by a dermal regeneration phase that continues to improve for months.

Longevity of results following Halo™ laser treatment, as with any aesthetic treatment at EVOLV, will depend upon preparation, treatment parameters, and most of all, post treatment skin care and lifestyle.  Specific skin care preparations as well as post treatment regimens will be recommended.  It is particularly important to consistently use a medical grade broad spectrum sunscreen daily after treatment to protect your healing and more youthful skin.

Skin type and conditions can vary widely so number of treatments will depend upon the quality of your skin as well as your desired cosmetic goals. You can choose to have one or two more aggressive treatments or have multiple more conservative treatments and achieve a similar goal over a longer period.  Your provider will review these options with your during your evaluation.

The state-of-the-art proprietary hand piece, motor, and surgical grade needles are designed for safe and precise needle insertion for an optimal treatment. This allows for a very safe treatment for all skin types that is also very effective.

With an experienced provider, microneedling in Toledo can take anywhere from 45 minutes up to 2 hours, depending upon the areas being treated.

With Genius, some people experience little to no downtime, aside from slight redness after the treatment. For others, it can take 24-36 hours for swelling and redness to subside. Rarely, patients report extended redness for a few more days.

You will be advised to avoid makeup, saunas, and working out for 24 hours. Also, you will need to avoid washing or drying the skin with a towel or washcloth, as they can harbor bacteria.

To get the maximum benefit, three or more Sylfirm X or Genius® treatments are typically recommended. Depending upon the patient’s skin and their cosmetic goals, some patients are happy with 1 to 2 treatments. Patients with acne scarring should consider at least 3 treatments and might be more satisfied with 5 or 6.

If the fillers are injected deeply below the skin, the fillers should not be affected.  However, we typically recommend waiting approximately 2-3 weeks after receiving filler before having an RF Microneedling treatment.

RF Microneedling treatments can be done as close as 3 or 4 weeks.

Most patients state that the microneedling in Toledo is mildly to moderately uncomfortable, but very tolerable. At EVOLV, we have pain management tools such as topical numbing cream, Frozen C Cryotherapy, and Pro Nox nitrous oxide. All patients report no discomfort when the procedure is complete.

We routinely treat the neck and chest in conjunction with the face. We also treat arm laxity, knees, and scars from abdominal surgery. Stretch marks have been treated, but results are variable.  We have successfully treated hyperhidrosis with the Infini as well. Bottom line is that when appropriate depths and settings are used, the Sylfirm X and Genius® can be used on all areas of the body.

Very few patients would not be candidates. Patients with pacemakers should not be treated. If there is metal in an area of the face, the skin overlying this area cannot be treated. Patients on blood thinners can be treated but will experience bruising.

The Genius® is protective of the epidermis because its needles are insulated. Also, the depth can be adjusted so the heat from the RF stays in the dermis, below the most superficial layer. Other devices are either not insulated, or try to push heat through the skin, potentially damaging the pigment cells.

The SylfirmX has non-insulated needles but because of the proprietary and unique ways the energy is dispensed, and because of the pulsed mode option and lower energy needed, it is not only safe for darker skin patients, but can be used to treat and reduce excess pigmentation as well as blood vessels, redness, and rosacea.

The Genius® and Sylfirm X are safer than a laser and require less downtime. With laser treatments, it is also possible to get excess pigment after treatment if the skin is not appropriately prepped.

Unfortunately, results vary from person to person, so it is impossible to give a definitive answer. The collagen created will last at least 7 years; however, the amount of collagen is variable and depends on the overall skin health, patient’s health, smoking habits, age, tanning, sun exposure, and lifestyle. It is usually recommended to have a “touch up” performed every 12-18 months.

There is no downtime with enzyme exfoliations in Toledo. You can resume normal activity and experience benefits immediately after the treatment.

Up to twice a week at home enzyme products can be used daily.

If you have certain fruit allergies, please discuss with your EVOLV provider.  Otherwise, this treatment works with the most sensitive skin, including pregnant women, and children.

Once the desired results from your plasma treatment in Toledo have been achieved, they last between 3-5 years. In our experience at EVOLV, the longevity of any aesthetic procedure is significantly affected by pre-treatment skin preparation, technique, and especially post treatment maintenance skin care and lifestyle.

This can vary, as your Plasma Pen treatments in Toledo can be used all over your body for different reasons. The time it takes to do each area depends on the area of concern and the client. On average, treatments take a couple of hours. We always reserve an hour to go over what was spoken about in the consultation and after care, as well as provide time for the area to numb.

The Plasma Pen treatment does not affect your ability to work. For example, someone having the eye area done will still be able to manage as they would normally. However, taking time off work may be beneficial to some clients. For example: Having a body treatment is easier to camouflage or cover, whereas someone who wears makeup and is uncomfortable with the healing process may like some downtime at home.

For people who prefer to have downtime at home, we usually recommend 7-10 days. This is how long it takes, roughly, for the carbon crusts to come away.

This also depends on the client and the after care. On average we say between 7-10 days; some people find the majority of the carbon crusts have come away by day 5, while people who may have a slower healing rate for whatever reason can take up to 14 days.

We recommend wearing no makeup after the treatment until the carbon crusts have been removed. This is for hygiene and bacterial reasons, as well as avoiding premature removal of the carbon crusts and causing infection and pigmentation. However, if the client is adamant about wearing makeup, then we recommend our makeup brand, Jane Iredale. Jane Iredale is a 100% mineral-based makeup, which means no nasty chemicals on the skin; however, this still comes with caution as all brushes need to be washed after use to avoid any cross infection.

Neograft hair restoration (grafting) is the best long-term solution for moderate to severe hair loss but is not typically necessary if the thinning is not extensive as the bioregenerative options and oral and topical products are very effective in most patients.  A review of your hair loss history, family genetics and lifestyle with your EVOLV provider will help guide you in determining your best option.

Although this is a personal choice, initiating treatment at the earlier stages of hair loss provides the most satisfying, long lasting, and natural results and are also more cost effective.

Although Rogaine has been FDA approved and does provide some temporary improvement in growth, it is one dimensional while the causes of hair loss are multidimensional.  In addition, the result is short lived, and Rogaine is not effective on all patients nor in all areas of scalp thinning.  Also scalp irritation and other side effects may be experienced.  We have found far greater benefits for our patients in a comprehensive approach utilizing Rogaine with other compounds to block hormonal hair loss (finasteride) and improve scalp health and circulation (Retin A), along with oral supplements.  Bioregenerative techniques with PRP, stem cell growth factors (Kerafctor), exosomes, and stem cell nanofat have much longer lasting stimulatory effects on regenerating hair follicles.

The cost for these options will depend on which products and specific treatment programs your EVOLV provider recommends based on your goals and stage of hair loss. It is important to remember that the costs include not only the procedure itself but also all post treatment care which varies depending upon the type of treatment. You will be provided with a specific and itemized procedure quote sheet from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

If you are close to your ideal body weight, looking to build muscle and sculpt your body, then EMSCULPT® in Toledo is right for you. Patients who have been the most satisfied have realistic expectations knowing this is a non-surgical treatment.

You will be able to discuss goals and expectations with one of our providers to determine the best treatment plan. Most patients will need at least 6 treatments, spaced out over 3 weeks to get their optimal results.

Some of our patients have been able to see a change in their body after 3 or 4 treatments. Most patients will start to see their best results anywhere from 8-12 weeks post treatment.

Anyone who pregnant, has an IUD, any metal in their body (such as a pacemaker, implants, cochlear device, etc.).

No, there is absolutely no downtime.  You will be able to resume normal activity immediately after your treatment.

BTL CELLUTONE® treatments are safe for all adult patients and skin types who are suffering from any form of cellulite and or want an additional effect to other non-invasive body shaping procedure. This is an option for those who desire aesthetic improvement without the cost and recovery time of surgery.

The BTL CELLUTONE® meets strict safety standards. The procedure is based on the emission of targeted vibrations into the treated tissue.

Your BTL CELLUTONE® provider will discuss the ideal treatment plan based on your specific needs. You will need a series of treatments, typically between 4 to 6 sessions over the course of a few weeks.

The treatment helps significantly improve the appearance of cellulite and the overall skin texture.

There is no downtime with the BTL CELLUTONE®. You can easily have the treatment during your lunch break and return to your daily activities immediately.

This very much depends on the treated area, its condition, and other factors. You may see visible improvements after a single session, although most patients start to notice improvement after their 3rd or 4th treatment.

The BTL CELLUTONE® will help you achieve aesthetic improvement regardless of your lifestyle. Obviously if you follow a healthy diet and stay active the results you receive from the BTL ELLUTONE will be more effective and longer lasting.

Unlike some other technologies for cellulite reduction, the BTL CELLUTONE® uses the power of targeted mechanical vibrations, causing much stronger stimulation and reaching deeper structures. This means less treatment sessions and more visible results faster.

Typically, the best BTL Exilis Ultra™ candidates are adult patients whose excess skin laxity doesn’t require surgery.

Most patients start to see improvement 3 months after treatment.

No, there is no downtime with this treatment. Patients may resume normal activity immediately after their non-surgical skin tightening in Toledo.

No, not at all. Although there is a warm feeling to the treated area, some of our patients mention the feeling is similar to a hot stone massage.

Popular treatment areas include the following:

• Cheeks
• Around the eyes
• Neck
• Under the chin
• Decollate (chest)
• Hands
• Jowls

BTL Ultra Femme 360 is a great option for women who are looking for a non-surgical alternative to improve their intimate health.

Each internal session only takes 8 minutes. Most patients require a series of three treatments spaced out a week apart to see optimal results.

Some patients notice a difference after the first treatment, but typically require completion of the entire series to feel their best results.

There is absolutely no downtime after this treatment, you may resume normal activity immediately after the procedure.

Results vary from patient to patient. Maintenance treatments after 6 months may be necessary for patients to maintain their results, while other patients may not need any maintenance.

BTL Emsella® may be an ideal option for you if you suffer from incontinence and do not have metal implants, are pregnant, or have a complicated gyneologic condition.

Each session requires 30 minutes and most patients are recommended to complete a series on average of 6-10 treatments, followed by maintenance treatments.

Some patients experience some benefit after the third or fourth treatment, but typically require completion of the entire series to enjoy their best results.

There is absolutely no downtime after your Emsella® rejuvenation treatment in Toledo; you may resume normal activity immediately after the procedure.

Results vary from patient to patient. Maintenance treatments after 6 months may be beneficial for patients to continue their results, while other patients may not need any maintenance.  A pelvic floor exercise home program will also be recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.

Effective and precise BBL™, Clarity II, or pulsed light technology, delivers light energy to gently heat and eliminate the hair follicles. Laser energy or quick pulses of light cause the targeted follicles to stop producing hair without damaging the surrounding skin.

Most areas of the body can be treated except for the skin adjacent to the eyes. The most common areas include the face, arms, legs, bikini area, chest, back, and shoulders.

Most areas of the body can be treated except for the skin adjacent to the eyes. The most common areas include the face, arms, legs, bikini area, chest, back, and shoulders.

Typically, patients with lighter skin and darker hair experience best results because the Clarity II laser and BBL™ uses the hair’s pigmentation to target the follicles. Our Clarity II and Forever Bare BBL™ treatments in Toledo can effectively treat darker skin types.  A consultation can determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

Most patients require three to five treatments over four to ten weeks to achieve their desired results. Hair grows in three stages, including the anagen, catagen, and telogen stage. Clarity II and Forever Bare BBL™ in Toledo affects hair in the active growth phase, or anagen phase. Since each follicle grows at a different pace, multiple treatments are necessary to experience the most effective results.  The longevity of your hair removal results will depend on your hair thickness, the treatment area, and the natural hair growth cycle. Because the laser only targets hair in its active growth phase, maintenance treatments are typically required.  Patients typically experience a significant reduction after their series of treatments making it a near-permanent solution to unwanted hair.

The cost of your Clarity II and Forever Bare BBL™ treatment in Toledo will depend on the number of treatments needed and the extent of the treatment area.  A consultation is the best way to judge the cost of your treatment package.

You will be advised to avoid excessive sun exposure on tanning beds, waxing, or electrolysis, and any treatment that pulls the hair for at least six weeks leading up to your treatment. You will not want to pluck, wax, bleach, or have electrolysis treatments during this six-week window because any irritation can be counterproductive or compromise results.  *Please note patients should shave the area that is going to be treated the day of their appointment.

Nobody actually ’needs’ a facelift, but a facelift properly done by an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon can correct many of the more frustrating signs of aging and restore a natural and youthful appearance. This can improve self-confidence and quality of life for appropriately selected patients. The most important consideration is finding a qualified plastic surgeon who you can trust to determine your best options.

EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state-of-the-art, non-surgical options in addition to aesthetic surgery that can reduce the signs of aging and sun damage. These include laser resurfacing and light therapy, chemical peels, injectable options such as Botox and fillers to restore volume, PRP micro needling, advanced medical skin care, and many more. These options are often combined with a surgical plan such as a facelift to provide more comprehensive and long-lasting results. The fact is that properly performed surgical facelifts are in some cases the most effective and long-lasting aesthetic option and provide more natural results that cannot be achieved by another treatment.

Facelift costs will depend on many factors, including the extent of the surgery, whether other ancillary procedures planned, the type of anesthesia, location of the surgical facility, and other considerations. You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

Not at all. Facelift techniques and approaches can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the plastic surgeon and each patient’s unique aging patterns and goals. Dr. Barone believes that repositioning aging tissue, restoring volume, and skin health rather than ’skin pulling techniques’ are the most effective methods to restore a long lasting, balanced, and youthful appearance without an ‘operated’ or unnatural look.

Recovery or downtime after a facelift procedure will depend on the surgical technique and the number and extent of accompanying procedures and this should be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skincare program, extensive patient preoperative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing. Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

Facelift results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors. These include patient age and genetics, pre/post treatment overall health and lifestyle, surgical technique, and approach and, most importantly, post-operative skin and aesthetic maintenance treatments. In our experience, deeper tissue repositioning with volume replacement and skin resurfacing provide the most natural looking and long-lasting facial rejuvenation results. A personalized medical skin care program will be recommended after surgery and, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments, can extend youthful results far longer than traditional facelift operative techniques.

No one actually ’needs’ a brow lift, but a brow lift in Toledo properly done by an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon can correct many of the more frustrating signs of aging and restore a natural and youthful appearance that can improve self-confidence and quality of life for appropriately selected patients.

An open discussion about concerns and goals, a thorough history and examination, and patient education with an experienced and qualified board-certified plastic surgeon are the most effective ways to determine which aesthetic procedure is the best option to address your concerns.  At EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, we have extensive experience with multiple surgical and non-surgical options so it is critical to find a qualified source you can trust to fairly and thoroughly explore which procedure or combination of procedures would fit your budget, tolerance of downtime and goals.

As with all aesthetic surgery, costs will depend on many factors including the extent of the surgery, whether other ancillary procedures planned, the type of anesthesia, location of the surgical facility, and other considerations.  You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

The best candidates for a lip lift have excessive lengthening and descent of the upper lip which creates an aged appearance.  The most important factor is finding an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in aesthetic surgery.

If the aging changes of the lips and personal areas do not involve lengthening and descent of the upper lip, other aesthetic options such as laser or chemical peel resurfacing, Renuvion JPlasma resurfacing, injectable fillers and fat grafts, and micro needling may all be beneficial.  A thorough discussion of your all your options based on your anatomy, goals and budget will be presented and reviewed with your EVOLV provider.

The cost of a surgical lip lift will depend on the extent and area involved and whether or not other ancillary procedures are planned.  You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote detailing all related costs by our EVOLV Patient Coordinator.

The design and technique of lip lifts will vary among plastic surgeons depending on training and experience as well as aesthetic awareness.  Because this is a highly visible area of the face, the design and incision placement must be precise and individualized to each patient’s unique anatomy and aging patterns in order to obtain natural appearing and balanced results.

Recovery time after a loop lift will be affected by many factors including aging patterns and severity, skin health and preparation, surgical technique and individual factors.  In most patients swelling beings to subside in 2-3 days and sutures can be removed be 5-6 days but the incision is then supported with surgical tape.  Make up and camouflage can be applied by one week or so post operatively.

Longevity of a lip lift, as with any aesthetic surgical procedure, will depend on surgical technique as well as preoperative skin conditioning, the extent of skin aging and health, and most importantly post procedure lifestyle and skin care.  Although the aging process is inevitable and natural, the visible signs of aging, especially around the mouth and lips, can be significantly diminished and controlled after aesthetic surgery with a personalized skin care program and maintenance, and non-surgical treatments which will extend the benefits of surgical result.

Review of your facial analysis and physical examination, and a discussion of your goals will help identify if other options may be considered.  EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics provides a full array of clinically proven surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures to achieve your goals.

Surgical options for chin enhancement will depend on the cost of the medical chin implant and anesthesia time.  The cost for in office injectable fillers for chin augmentation will be determined by the amount and type of natural injectable filler anticipated to reach your goals.  All estimated costs will be itemized and fully reviewed with you before your procedure by the EVOLV Patient Coordinator or staff member.

Not at all.  Natural appearing and safe results require experience, training, and the highest-grade FDA approved biomaterials.  Individualizing the right procedure to each patient’s unique anatomy and goals requires experienced aesthetic judgement and proper training.  Chin implants can vary dramatically in shape, size and quality and need to be selected carefully and individually for each patient.

Recovery time after chin augmentation will depend upon several factors including technique and treatment approach.  Based on the recommended technique, your EVOLV provider will review all your anticipated recovery process and give recommendations on post treatment care.

Chin implants are permanent and will therefore have the longest lasting effect of all augmentation options.  Injectable fat augmentation may last for many years while fillers, depending on which type selected, approximately 9 months to 2 years but will gradually diminish.  Maintenance programs will also be reviewed with you to keep the quality of your natural enhancement consistent.

An open discussion about concerns and goals, a thorough history and examination, and patient education with an experienced and qualified board-certified plastic surgeon are the most effective ways to determine which eyelid rejuvenation in Toledo is the best option to address your concerns. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, we have experience with multiple surgical and non-surgical options so it is critical to find a qualified source you can trust to fairly and thoroughly explore which procedure or combination of procedures would fit your budget, tolerance of downtime and goals.

There are a variety of surgical approaches to address eyelid aging concerns as well as functional issues with the skin and tissue around the eyes. At EVOLV, we believe in personalizing the technique to the individual concerns and anatomy of each patient.  Dr. Barone has completed specialized post graduate training in eyelid surgery and prefers to use techniques that preserve and reposition tissue to obtain more natural appearing results without an ‘operated look’.

While there are a few situations where insurance may cover correction of eyelid droop (ptosis) or severe skin excess that is blocking vision, most eyelid surgery is usually self-pay.  Insurance coverage for resection of upper eyelid skin excess that is partially obstructing vision is a much less complete procedure than the comprehensive rejuvenative blepharoplasty procedures that we specialize in at EVOLV Plastic Surgery.  The cost of eyelid surgery will depend upon the extent, time, and nature of the procedure as well any accompanying surgery or services that are planned.  The EVOLV Patient Coordinator will provide each patient with an itemized quote detailing all costs as well as expected recovery time.

Recovery or downtime after blepharoplasty procedures will depend on each patient’s anatomy and aging patterns, eyelid sensitivity, the surgical technique, and the number and extent of accompanying procedures and therefore will vary.

It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages.  At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skin care program, as well as extensive patient pre-operative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

As with all aesthetic surgical procedures, eyelid surgery results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors.  These include patient age and genetics, pre/post-treatment overall health and lifestyle, surgical technique and approach, and most importantly post-operative skin and aesthetic maintenance treatments.

In our experience, deeper tissue repositioning and preservation of natural anatomy in eyelid surgery provide the most natural looking and long-lasting rejuvenation results.  A personalized medical skin care program will be recommended after surgery, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments, which can extend youthful results far longer than traditional eyelid operative techniques.

Nobody actually ’needs’ a neck lift but a neck lift properly done by an experienced  and board-certified plastic surgeon can correct many of the more frustrating signs of aging and restore a natural and youthful appearance that can improve self-confidence and quality of life for appropriately selected patients.  The most important consideration is finding an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon that you can trust in order to determine your best options.

EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state of the art non-surgical options in addition to aesthetic surgery that can reduce the signs of aging and sun damage.  These include Botox, ultrasonic liposuction, Kybella, lasers and light therapy, chemical peels, PRP micro-needling, advanced medical skin care, and many more.  These options are often combined with a surgical plan such as a neck lift and lower facelift to provide more comprehensive and long-lasting results.  The fact is that properly performed surgical neck lifts are in most cases the most effective and long-lasting aesthetic option and provide more natural results that cannot be achieved by any other treatment.

Neck lift or neck and lower facial rejuvenation costs will depend on many factors including the extent of the surgery, whether or not other ancillary procedures planned, the type of anesthesia, location of the surgical facility, and other considerations.  You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

Not at all. Neck lift and lower facelift techniques and approach can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the plastic surgeon and each patient’s unique aging patterns and goals.  Dr. Barone believes that a more comprehensive approach involving repositioning and supporting aging tissue, repairing platysma muscle bands, and restoring skin health rather than ’skin pulling techniques’ are the most effective methods to restore a long-lasting, balanced and youthful appearance without an ‘operated’ or unnatural look.

Recovery or downtime after a neck lift procedure will depend on the surgical technique and the number and extent of accompanying procedures, which should be individualized.  It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages.  At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skin care program as well as extensive patient preoperative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve results.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

Neck and lower facelift results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors.  These include patient age and genetics, pre/post treatment overall health and lifestyle, surgical technique, and approach and, most importantly, post-operative skin and aesthetic maintenance treatments.  In our experience, deeper tissue repositioning, platysma muscle repair and skin resurfacing provide the most natural looking and long-lasting neck and lower facial rejuvenation results.  A personalized medical skin care program will be recommended after surgery and, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments, can extend youthful results far longer than traditional necklift and facelift operative techniques.

A complete discussion of your goals and concerns combined with a thorough history and examination by an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon is the most essential factor in determining the best treatment option and approach to provide a safe, balanced, and natural appearing aesthetic result.  The unique improvements in body contour with liposuction for fat harvest combined with the natural and rejuvenative benefits of PRP augmented fat grafting and volume restoration can correct many of the more frustrating signs of aging and restore a youthful appearance that can improve self-confidence and quality of life for appropriately selected patients. The most important consideration is finding a qualified, experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon that you can trust in order to determine your best options.

EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offer other state of the art non-surgical options for volume restoration in addition to fat harvest and grafting.  These include all FDA approved injectable fillers in which we have extensive experience and a long-term safety profile.  In many cases these non-surgical filler options can be used after fat grafting to extend the longevity and benefits of your fat grafting and contouring procedure.  A post-operative maintenance program including medical skin care is essential in maintaining and even improving your operative result.

As with other procedures, fat grafting costs will depend on many factors including the extent of the injections, the amount of liposuction contouring and number of sites with the harvest, and the other ancillary procedures planned.  You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

Not at all. Fat grafting or lipo-filling techniques and approach can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the plastic surgeon and each patient’s unique aging patterns and goals.  Technique is especially important with fat harvest in maintaining cell viability and in the artistry and science of graft placement.

Recovery or downtime after a fat grafting procedure will depend upon the extent and number of sites involved as well as the amount of liposuction contouring with the harvest.  It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages.  At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health preoperatively and specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve results.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post procedure planning.

Fat grafting results and longevity are very much affected by numerous individual and procedural factors.  These include patient age and genetics, pre- and post-treatment overall health and lifestyle, and surgical technique. In our experience a personalized medical skin care program to optimize skin health before and after surgery along with individualized aesthetic maintenance treatments, can extend youthful results far longer than traditional cosmetic procedures.

There are many options for addressing aging or damaged skin changes of the face and neck and body for restoring more youthful healthy skin and contour. Finding honest and accurate information can be challenging at best for patients with cosmetic concerns. The use of natural and bioregenerative stimulants such as PRP treatments in Toledo, stem cells, exosomes and growth factors represent a growing and exciting area of aesthetic treatments and have well documented clinical studies supporting their benefits and safety. Your EVOLV professional will be able to assist you in determining which of these options best fits your budget, goals, and expectations.

The benefits of natural growth factors, exosomes, and PRP will typically take time to see visible results because the bioregenerative process must go through the stages of repair and wound healing. Visible results will also depend upon the type of treatment and area treated. With hair regeneration, some early changes are usually seen in 1-2 months. With topical skin applications, many patients notice improvements beginning in 4-6 weeks.

The cost for these bioregenerative options will depend on which growth factor is selected, the number and extent of ancillary procedures, and how much product is recommended. PRP treatment costs depend on the amount needed.

Stem cell harvest cost will be influenced by the amount of fat to be harvested and processed as well as the extent of area treated. It is important to remember that the costs include not only the procedure itself but also all post-treatment care which varies depending upon the type of treatment. You will be provided with a specific and itemized procedure quote sheet from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

Rhinoplasty is an effective and safe way to get the nose you have always wanted! If your concerns include a profile that appears too large, wide nostrils, or crookedness of your nasal bridge – you may be a good candidate for this cosmetic surgery. To ensure optimal results when pursuing rhinoplasty, find a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in aesthetic nasal surgery, one with whom you can openly communicate expectations and desired outcomes. 

The cost of a rhinoplasty surgery can vary greatly depending on the extent of the surgical procedures, time involved under anesthesia, location of the operative procedure, and whether additional materials such as cartilage grafts are needed.  Some insurance carriers will cover the portion of the procedure that directly affects airway and breathing obstruction such as correction of the deviated nasal septum, nasal valves, and turbinates. The EVOLV Patient Coordinator and insurance billing staff member will work with you to determine if any insurance coverage is possible.

At EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we understand that a successful rhinoplasty should be tailored to each patient’s individual look. With an aesthetically pleasing outcome and improved breathing being our priority in Toledo, you can rest assured knowing your results will appear natural while still providing the desired improvements. 

Dr. Barone highly recommends a light general anesthetic delivered by an experienced board-certified anesthesiologist for optimal safety. Intravenous sedation or nerve blocks with local anesthesia may be options, depending on the length or complexity of the procedure. 

As with any aesthetic surgical procedure, recovery or down time will depend upon the extent of the rhinoplasty surgery and the techniques involved.  It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages.  At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skin care program, recognizing and treating any nasal inflammatory conditions, specific supplements for healing, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post rhinoplasty recovery planning.

There are many resurfacing options, such as laser, Renuvion J-Plasma, micro needling, and Genius RF micro needling (links for all) for addressing aging or damaged skin changes of the face and neck and restoring more youthful healthy skin.  Finding honest and accurate information can be challenging at best for patients with cosmetic concerns. It is therefore extremely important for each patient to find a qualified and experienced professional that can be trusted to educate and inform transparently on the optimal aesthetic procedure and plan that is best to achieve not only their aesthetic goals but also respect their budget and tolerance for recovery time.  When these priorities are met, for the appropriate patient, deeper physician chemical peeling can provide beautiful and youthful skin surface on its own or when combined with other aesthetic surgical procedures, enhance overall results with a comprehensive rejuvenation.

This is a common misconception but a properly done peel will increase skin thickness and tone. In addition to removing the outer damaged skin cell layer, the EVOLV peels stimulate new and increased growth from below of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic sugars, circulation, and the youthful components of healthy, young skin.

EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state-of-the-art non-surgical resurfacing options in addition to physician chemical peels in Toledo that can reduce the signs of aging and sun damage. EVOLV’s skin care treatment programs consist of a pre-treatment preparation period with a personalized skin care regimen, then after preparation the resurfacing treatment, and finally a post-treatment maintenance program which is essential to keeping and even enhancing the result. Your EVOLV skin care professional and physician will assist you in determining your best option based on costs, downtime tolerance, and goals.

Chemical peel costs will depend on many factors including the extent and area treated, peel depth, and whether or not other procedures are planned such as combined surgery or fat grafting, the type of anesthesia, and facility. It is important to remember that the costs include not only the procedure itself but also all post-treatment care, and this can be more prolonged with deeper peels. Optimal results and safety require consistent and conscientious post-care.  You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

This is a common question and one that must be carefully considered. When it comes to elective aesthetic procedures, informed patients make decisions based on three primary considerations: cost, downtime and, most importantly results. Therefore, it is so essential for each patient to find a qualified and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon that provides unbiased information and in whom they can trust.  Price shopping frequently leads to unfavorable outcomes, complications, and expensive revisional procedures. The EVOLV physician peel programs improve the quality and youthful features of the skin and can lower skin cancer risk. Improving skin quality enhances the outcome of any other aesthetic or cosmetic surgery which is a significant additional benefit that patients particularly enjoy.

Recovery or downtime after chemical peel resurfacing will depend on the depth of the treatment and if applicable, the number and extent of accompanying procedures and therefore must be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skin care program as well as extensive patient pre-operative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing for chemical peel resurfacing as well as any aesthetic treatment.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

Chemical peel results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors.  These include patient age and genetics, pre/post treatment overall health and lifestyle, peel depth, and the type of medical acid used, and most importantly, post-treatment skin care and aesthetic maintenance services. In our experience, a personalized medical skin care program, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments and practicing healthy lifestyle habits can extend youthful results far longer than traditional peels or other skin treatment procedures.

There are a wide variety of chemical peels available at EVOLV ranging from very light ‘invisible’ peeling (ZO Enzymatic Peel and Acceleration Exfoliator (link)) with no downtime, moderate depth aesthetician peels (ZO 3 Step Peel) (link), and very deep physician peel treatments ( ZO Controlled Depth Peel and Modified Phenol Peel) (link) which have much longer downtimes but give the maximal correction and rejuvenation. The EVOLV medical aestheticians perform a variety of the light and moderate depth peels in the office while the deeper physician peels may be done in the office procedure room or, when the peel is combined with an aesthetic surgical procedure, in the outpatient facility under a light anesthetic.  Peel selection will depend on the degree of aging and sun damage and the individualized goals of each patient.  Dr. Barone and the EVOLV nurses and aestheticians have extensive experience and advanced training in each peel option as well as advanced skin care.

If you are experiencing descent and loss of support of your breast, as well as deflation of the upper breast or loose and sagging skin and breast tissue, you may be an excellent candidate for the breast lift or mastopexy procedure.  If you have lost volume in the upper breast from weight loss or aging, or simply desire fuller upper breasts with lifting, then augmentation mastopexy or implant placement or fat grafting with breast lift may be your best option.

As with any surgery, depending on your overall health and habits, your complication profile may vary. In breast reconstruction Toledo, there are a variety of options that fit some patients better than others depending on your heath, history, and goals.

It is important that your breast reconstructive surgeon can offer all forms of breast reconstruction in Toledo to be sure that you are being offered all options in breast reconstruction equally.

The great majority of surgery can be covered by your medical insurance. While some of the more advanced procedures are not easily covered, we will do our best in every case to make sure the surgery you desire can be covered.  If you have any questions, we have billing and insurance specialists in our office and consultants we work with daily to optimize your coverage options.

Much of our time is spent with revision breast reconstruction in Toledo. This often requires reversing what has previously been done to eliminate pain or discomfort, removing implants, repositioning implants, and sometimes performing revisional breast reconstruction to improve your aesthetic result or make you feel better.

Recovery or downtime after breast reconstruction or revisional breast surgery will depend on the surgical technique, position of the implant (sub muscular or sub glandular) and patient age and this should be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes through stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we have found that extensive patient preoperative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve the recovery experience after breast surgery. Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post procedure planning.

If you have had breast implant surgery and are experiencing related problems including tightness, pain, asymmetry, positional changes, loss of support, or have concerns about the implant integrity or gel leakage, breast implant revision may be right for you.  An experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon can review your history,  previous implant procedure and any mammograms or MRI imaging and perform a complete physician exam as well as discuss your goals and concerns to provide the best options.

Insurance coverage varies by carrier and typically will only apply for reconstructive situations such as post mastectomy for breast cancer. You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

Patients that want their implants removed and not replaced have several options depending on goals and individual anatomic variation.  With most patients, simply removing the implants will result in significant sagging and upper breast deflation.  Combining a breast lift (mastopexy) with repositioning the sagging lower tissue to the upper deflated part of the breast (‘auto augmentation’) can result in a natural and pleasing, youthful shape to the breast without an implant in properly selected patients.

Recovery or downtime after breast implant revision or mastopexy surgery will depend on the surgical technique, number of procedures and patient age and should be individualized.  It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages.  At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that extensive patient preoperative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve the recovery experience after breast surgery.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

Not at all. Techniques and approach can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the board-certified plastic surgeon.  Dr. Barone prefers a different surgical technique that repositions tissue and uses the deep fascia for anchoring and support instead of simple skin resection techniques.  Although less time consuming and less expensive, ’skin only’ resection techniques do not last and often stretch back unlike the fascial suspension which has more longevity and less skin tension. Dr. Barone also believes that a more comprehensive approach involving repositioning and deep support of aging tissue, minimizing visible scars, combined with balanced removal of excess fat  rather than ’skin pulling techniques’ are the most effective methods to restore a long-lasting, balanced, and youthful appearance without an ‘operated’ or unnatural look.

Not at all…. techniques and approach can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the plastic surgeon.  Interested patients are often surprised to learn that physicians trained in unrelated specialties can also legally perform aesthetic procedures.  Fat grafting harvest and gluteal augmentation require great extensive training, care and an experienced nursing and support staff for best results and safety.  Dr. Barone also believes that a more comprehensive approach involving repositioning and deep support of aging tissue, proportional volume enhancement, a strict safety protocol, combined with balanced removal of excess fat rather than are the most effective methods to restore a long lasting and youthful appearance without an ‘operated’ or unnatural look with un-compromised patient safety.

Recovery or downtime after an aesthetic buttock shaping surgery will depend on the surgical technique and the number and extent of accompanying procedures as well as patient age and this should be individualized.  It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and progresses thru stages.  In general, operative procedures on the buttocks and thighs will involve more prolonged swelling and recovery.  At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we believe in extensive pre-operative education and preparation as well as post-operative therapeutic services and maintenance to improve the patient experience and extend results. Post procedure lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post procedure planning.

The best candidates for labiaplasty have either medical or aesthetic concerns or often both.  These include chaffing, irritation, and pain from excess or lax tissues as well as disproportion and asymmetry.  The most effective option is to find an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon who understands your goals and concerns.

The extent of the reduction and tissue reposition will determine the location and length of the operative incisions.  Modern surgical techniques and an understanding of labial anatomy can provide minimal scars that are typically not visible or noticeable and results that are natural appearing and proportional.  There may be a short-term temporary decrease in sensation but no long-term change or diminishment if done properly.

Recovery or downtime after a labiaplasty procedure will depend on the surgical technique and the amount of correction planned and this should be individualized.  It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and progresses thru stages.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post procedure planning and timing to resume normal activities.

Labiaplasty and feminine vaginal rejuvenation surgical costs will depend on several factors including the extent of the surgery, procedure time, and the surgical facility and anesthesia.  You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

There are many options, surgical, and non-surgical, for addressing aging changes of the face and neck as well as body contouring.  Finding honest and accurate information can be challenging at best for patients with cosmetic concerns.  It is therefore extremely important for each patient to find a qualified and experienced professional that can be trusted to educate and inform transparently on the optimal aesthetic procedure and plan that is best to achieve not only their aesthetic goals but also respect their budget and tolerance for recovery time.  When these priorities are met, for the appropriate patient, Renuvion J-Plasma resurfacing or tissue tightening, can provide state of the art and natural appearing outcomes that exceed other comparable non surgical treatments for these specific aesthetic concerns.

EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state of the art non surgical options in addition to J-Plasma treatments in Toledo that can reduce the signs of aging and sun damage.  Although the J-Plasma facial resurfacing treatment is a unique, non surgical procedure that can result in dramatic improvement in skin quality, texture and firmness, it is a deeper resurfacing procedure that requires careful patient selection, specific medical skin care preparation as well as a tolerance for longer downtime and therefore is not for everyone.

A properly performed Renuvion J-Plasma resurfacing treatment is, in most cases, the most effective and long lasting aesthetic facial resurfacing option and can  provide comprehensive rejuvenative  results that can not be matched by any other non-surgical treatment in our experience.

J-Plasma facial rejuvenation costs will depend on many factors including the location of the surgery, whether or not other procedures are planned such as combined surgery or fat grafting, the type of anesthesia, and other considerations.  If you are considering J-Plasma skin and tissue tightening in Toledo after liposuction in order to improve tissue contour, costs will be determined by the extent or number of areas planned for treatment and the procedure time.

You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

This is a common question and one that must be carefully considered.  When it comes to elective aesthetic procedures, informed patients make decisions based on three primary considerations: cost, downtime and, most importantly, results. This is why it is so essential for each patient to find a qualified and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon that provides unbiased information and in whom they can trust.  Price shopping frequently leads to unfavorable outcomes, complications and expensive reversional procedures.  If you have moderate or significant skin and tissue laxity, J-Plasma tissue tightening after liposuction provides that most effective skin and tissue tightening and high patient satisfaction compared to other options.

Recovery or downtime after a J-Plasma facial resurfacing procedure in Toledo will depend on the depth of the treatment and if applicable, the number and extent of accompanying procedures and therefore should be individualized. If you are considering J-Plasma tissue tightening after liposuction, the recovery time will also depend on the number of areas treated and the extent but typically is not significantly any longer than liposuction treatment only.  It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages.  At EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skin care program as well as extensive patient pre-operative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing for J-Plasma treatment and any aesthetic treatment.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

J-Plasma results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors. These include patient age and genetics, pre/post-treatment overall health and lifestyle, procedure technique and, most importantly, post-treatment skin and aesthetic maintenance services. In our experience a personalized medical skin care program, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments, and practicing healthy lifestyle habits can extend youthful results far longer than traditional resurfacing or skin tightening techniques.

Evaluation and discussion of your concerns with an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon is the most effective way to determine if you are a good candidate for liposuction surgery and decide which technique or combination of procedures best suites your anatomy and goals. Because there are many surgical and non-surgical options for fat removal and body contouring, and the expense can be significant, it is critical to find an experienced and qualified provider that is transparent and trustworthy in order to determine the optimal personalized approach for you.

In most cases, any significant shape and contour problems are most effectively and safely corrected by a properly performed liposuction procedure that directly and precisely removes fat excess and restores optimal contour and shape. If there is significant skin excess, sagging or loss of support, a tissue resection procedure such as a ’tummy tuck’ or body lift may be combined for optimal results. An examination and discussion of your goals with Dr. Barone and the EVOLV nursing staff is the most effective way to determine your best option.

Neograft hair restoration (grafting) is the best long-term solution for moderate to severe hair loss in appropriately selected patients. At EVOLV, we believe that the best long term and natural appearing results in hair restoration require pre-treatment preparation of the scalp and reducing ongoing hair loss as well as a post-Neograft maintenance program to keep graft viability as well as retain as much of the native hair follicles as possible.

Yes, both men and women can enjoy excellent results and long-term hair restoration with the NeoGraft system and a personalized hair rejuvenation program.

Most traditional hair grafting techniques utilize the strip method which removes a section of the scalp to use for donor follicles. This requires surgical closure with sutures or staples and leaves a visible scar.  NeoGraft hair restoration in Toledo is a minimally invasive non-surgical technique that extracts individual follicles (follicular unit extraction (FUE)), leaves no visible scar and has a much shorter recovery time.

The cost for the NeoGraft procedure in Toledo will depend primarily upon the number of grafts estimated to restore the areas of thinning which is determined pre-treatment considering each patient’s goals and expectations.  Typically, follicular unit extraction (FUE) techniques like NeoGraft will be slightly higher in cost due to the sophisticated technology required and the increased time needed to extract, and process grafts individually compared to traditional strip graft methods.  EVOLV’s program also includes pre and post procedure products and therapies to improve graft viability and ’take’ as well as speed recovery and encourage long term growth.

No aesthetic procedure, including NeoGraft, can ever be ‘guaranteed’ but extensive clinical studies and numerous NeoGraft treatments have proven that the technique is highly effective and consistently successful when performed by professionals trained and experienced in the procedure. Numerous before and after photos and successful patient outcomes support the efficacy of NeoGraft and high patient satisfaction rates have been experienced by the vast majority of male and female patients.

If you are experiencing discomfort and related symptoms due to excessive breast size as well as loss of support and difficulty performing activities and exercise due larger breast size, you may be an excellent candidate for the breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty procedure.  Patients with well documented medical symptoms that have not responded to conservative treatment and analgesic medication may be eligible for insurance coverage.  The removal of excess lateral breast and axillary fat by VASER Ultrasonic Liposuction is not covered by insurance.

The surgeons that specialize and have accredited training in breast reduction in Toledo and all areas of aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery are board-certified

plastic surgeons and especially those plastic surgeons that are members of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.  Be sure to ask questions, check the specialty training and credentials of the doctor, request to see the surgeon’s before and after results.  Finally, be sure to check if the plastic surgeon will be performing your breast surgery in a fully accredited outpatient surgery center with experienced nursing staff and an experienced anesthesiologist.  Breast reduction surgery is consistently safe and effective when done by an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon.

Dr. Barone is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has also completed advanced fellowship certification in all areas of aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery.

Breast reduction surgical costs will depend on the anticipated surgical time, the extent of the reduction needed and related planned procedures such as liposuction of the lateral breast and axilla, and the surgical facility and anesthesia costs. You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

Recovery or downtime after breast reduction in Toledo or reduction mammoplasty surgery will depend on the surgical technique, number of procedures and patient age and should be individualized.

Adults who are in good physical condition and interested in reducing stubborn fat on their abdomen or flanks (love handles) are ideal candidates for this non-surgical fat reduction treatment in Toledo.

Most treatments last 30 – 45 minutes. We recommend most patients do a series of 5 treatments in order to get optimal results.

Most patients begin to see improvements 2 weeks after their treatments.

No, there is no downtime. Patients may resume normal activity immediately after the treatment.

The abdomen and flanks are the two most popular areas that are treated with the BTL Vanquish ME™.

The Lutronic Spectra offers 4 different wave lengths making it ideal to treat a variety of ink colors and skin types safely and effectively. Typically, tattoo removal works best on black or blue ink and lighter skin types because the laser can clearly distinguish between the darker ink and the lighter skin type. Let our expert clinicians determine what would be the best treatment for your tattoo removal needs by booking a consultation!

Currently, lasers are state-of-the-art and the modern standard for tattoo removal. Depending on a variety of factors including desired aesthetic results, skin type, and tattoo type/location, alternative therapies may be necessary. Alternative tattoo removal therapies include cryosurgery, dermabrasion, chemical peels, surgical excision, and salabrasion.

The number of treatments depends on a variety of factors including patient skin type, and goals, layering/depth, size, location on the body, ink colors, amount of ink, and pre-existing scarring. On average, it can take 6-10 treatments to achieve maximum results, but in some tattoos additional treatment may be chosen. At EVOLV, we use the Kirby-Desai scale to assess the average amount of treatments needed which can predict with an 80% accuracy.

Treatment session time depends on the tattoo size, and type of tattoo, location, colors; skin type; and tolerability. On average treatment sessions are 10-30 minutes long.

To ensure the skin is fully healed and the body’s lymphatic system has enough time to reduce the ink, it is recommended to wait at least 6-8 weeks between laser sessions. As your tattoo starts to fade more and more, it may be beneficial to wait as long as 12 weeks in between sessions.

Laser tattoo removal cost depends on a variety of factors including tattoo size and colors. In general, it costs about ten times as much to get a tattoo removed as it costs to have it applied. At EVOLV we hope to ensure safe, evidence-based, efficient care that is affordable for every patient, so we offer tattoo removal pricing by size or time. Additionally, discounts for packages of 3 and 6 treatments are available. Ultimately, a consultation with one of expert clinicians will allow for a custom quote!

Typically, tattoo removal is described as a rubber band snapping sensation and is often compared to the feeling of getting a tattoo. The good news is while it can be uncomfortable, the discomfort is tolerable and manageable. At EVOLV, we offer several options to ensure our client’s comfort including a topical anesthetic numbing agent that is applied to treatment sites 1 hour prior to arrival; the Zimmer Chiller which blows chilled air to the treatment area before, during, and after treatments; and Frozen C Cryotherapy which utilizes cryotherapy briefly numb the area prior to treatment. Additionally, EVOLV offers the options ProNox (laughing gas) to help assist with comfort during procedures if needed.

Prior to your first tattoo removal appointment, you will meet with one of EVOLV’s expert clinicians for a consult at which time all pre and post procedure instructions will be reviewed. Sun exposure should be avoided 1 month prior to and after the treatment and self-tanner should be avoided 2 weeks prior to the treatment. If the treated area has hair, it should be shaved prior to the appointment. If topical numbing cream is desired, it should be purchased prior to the appointment and applied 1 hour prior to arrival.

The most important factor in achieving safe, effective results and reducing potential complications with tattoo removal, as well as any aesthetic procedure is the level of training and experience of the professional providing the treatments. In general, and when performed by a certified and appropriately trained professional, laser tattoo removal is safe and side effects or complications uncommon.  Here is a list of some potential adverse side effects:

• Redness
• Tenderness
• Blistering/scabs
• Pinpoint bleeding
• Hypopigmentation/Hyperpigmentation
• Incomplete removal of tattoo/Suboptimal aesthetic results
• Infection/Poor wound healing
• Allergic reaction to tattoo pigment after Q-switched laser treatment. Future Q-switched laser treatments are not advised.
• Purpura confined to the treatment area may be evident for several days following the treatment.
• Irritation, itching, burning sensation, or discomfort during treatment and for a short time following the treatment.
• Cosmetic tattoos and other tattoo inks can contain metallic ink particles that do not respond well to laser treatments and may darken. Sometimes they will fade with additional treatments but not always.
• Burn/scarring

Rejuvenation of the aging neck or reduction of excess fat can dramatically improve and restore a youthful appearance and self-confidence.  A discussion with your EVOLV professional will help determine if liposuction alone or other related aesthetic options will best address your goals and budget.

The best and most natural appearing options to improve neck and lower facial contour will depend on your anatomy and individual goals.  Removing and tightening the visible muscle bands in the neck (platysmoplaasty) or lifting and removing excess skin (neck lift or facelift) are other popular and very effective aesthetic considerations.  Your EVOLV provider will review these options and your goals as well as before and after photos of other patients with you so that you can make the best and most informed decision for your treatment.

Cost will depend on the number and extent of procedures planned, location and type of anesthesia, and total operative time.  A complete and itemized review of all potential costs will be discussed with you by our EVOLV Patient Coordinator as well as any financing options if needed.

Definitely not!  Liposuction, or the removal of excess fat from under the skin, can vary greatly depending on the type of device, technique, age and health of the patient, and location treated.  But as with any aesthetic surgical or non-surgical procedure, the results are most affected by the training and experience of the service provider.

Recovery or downtime after a liposuction of the lower face and neck procedure will depend on the surgical technique and the number and extent of accompanying procedures and this should be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skincare program, extensive patient preoperative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing. Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

Liposuction of neck and lower face results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors. These include patient age and genetics, pre/post treatment overall health and lifestyle, surgical technique, and approach and, most importantly, post-operative skin and aesthetic maintenance treatments. In our experience, deeper tissue repositioning with volume replacement and skin resurfacing provide the most natural looking and long-lasting facial rejuvenation results. A personalized medical skin care program will be recommended after surgery and, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments, can extend youthful results far longer than traditional liposuction of the neck and face operative techniques.

The best place to start is with a consultation with Dr. Barone or one of our providers! Based upon your lifestyle, budget, and the desired outcome, we can provide you with a customized treatment plan.

Typically, Dr. Barone schedules 1-2 months out for consultations, but we can add you to our cancellation list to potentially move your appointment up to a sooner date!

Absolutely! One of our skilled aestheticians can assess your skin and provide you with several options of treatments that have zero downtime, such as a dermaplane, light chemical peel, or HydraFacial MD™.

Scheduling a consultation with Dr. Barone or one of our amazing other providers can help get you on the right track! We can provide recommendations for both surgical and non-surgical options to get you looking and feeling your best. No plan is “one size fits all,” so the consultation is important to create your customized treatment plan.

At EVOLV, we have both surgical and non-surgical options to address unwanted fat! A common procedure to address unwanted fat is Liposuction, which removes excess fat deposits to improve and balance body contour and shape. Dr. Barone performs VASER Ultrasonic Liposuction which allows for a more gentle and efficient fat removal with less bruising and downtime than traditional methods.

We also have a fantastic non-invasive option called the EMSCULPT NEO which can be customized to increase muscle tone and volume and/or reduce unwanted fat for the buttocks, upper arms, thighs, and other areas of concern.

As with any cosmetic procedure, the training, qualifications, and experience of the provider are the most important factors in achieving optimal and safe results. Board-certified plastic surgeons with experience in cosmetic surgery have extensive knowledge in facial anatomy and aesthetics and therefore are typically the most reliable, safe, and trusted source to help decide if non-surgical liquid facelift with injectable fillers and Botox neuromodulators may be your best option.

The cost of an injectable or liquid facelift will depend upon the type and amount of filler and Botox type product needed to correct or enhance each patient’s individual concerns and anatomy. EVOLV Medical Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery has all FDA approved filler products that have passed extensive clinical testing and published studies. The typical cost for injectable non-surgical liquid facelift therefore varies between $1500 and $4500 depending upon the above factors. Each injectable product has its own unique characteristics including softness, lifting ability, flexibility, and duration.  A thorough and extensive knowledge of facial anatomy is critical for optimal, safe, and natural appearing results.

Absolutely not. The most attractive and natural appearing facial shape in non-surgical as well as surgical procedures requires a thorough understanding of individual aesthetics, ethnicity, female or male characteristics as well as facial anatomy which is why choosing an experienced aesthetic, board-certified plastic surgeon or certified professional is the most important factor in meeting each patient’s goals and maintaining optimal safety with injectables. It is also extremely important for the provider to know which patient concerns and goals may benefit from a non-surgical procedure and which patients may best be treated with surgical aesthetic facial procedure such as brow and eyelid lift or face and neck lift which are ideal for longer lasting and more significant results.

One of the great benefits of the injectable filler and Botox liquid facelift is significant less downtime and cost compared to surgical procedures, but it should be emphasized that they are not the same. Properly performed surgical facial aesthetic procedures can provide long-lasting and more significant correction as well as natural appearing results but entail more recovery time and costs. Some swelling and redness are to be expected immediately after the injectable procedure and the extent will depend upon the amount of product needed as well as the amount and specific area of the face treated. Medication to minimize swelling and any bruising, ice compresses, and elevation will help. Most patients can return to normal activities in several days depending again on the extent of treatment. Camouflage makeup is available if desired.

It should be remembered that the nonsurgical liquid facelift with injectable fillers is always temporary and the result will fade at a rate depending on the type and amount of filler and Botox neuromodulator utilized as well as the area of the face treated. Typically results will last for at least 6 to 9 months before starting to noticeably diminish in most patients. The injectable liquid facelift is also not appropriate for more significant facial aging and contour irregularities, more severe or extensive facia, eyelid and neck skin drooping and wrinkles, which is best addressed by appropriately planned surgical aesthetic procedures. Finding a qualified plastic surgeon or provider that has experience and training in both nonsurgical and surgical aesthetics is again the best choice for obtaining safe, optimal and natural appearing results for any cosmetic procedure or treatment.

As with any cosmetic procedure, the training, qualifications, and experience of the provider are the most important factors in achieving optimal and safe results. Board-certified plastic surgeons with experience in surgical cosmetic rhinoplasty have extensive knowledge in nasal anatomy and aesthetics and therefore are typically the most reliable, safe, and trusted source to help you decide if a non-surgical rhinoplasty with injectable fillers may be your best option.

Although injectable or liquid rhinoplasty can provide excellent and natural improvement in nasal shape and contour, it is temporary and not appropriate for more significant nasal imbalance or accompanying breathing issues. Surgical rhinoplasty by an experienced and qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon can provide long-lasting improvement in nasal shape, balance, and function as well as naturally complement the attractiveness of other facial features. For that reason, as well as safety, it is critically important to seek the advice and evaluation of a board-certified plastic surgeon that has experience and training in both surgical aesthetic rhinoplasty and injectable fillers.

The cost of injectable or liquid rhinoplasty will depend upon the type and amount of filler product needed to correct or enhance each patient’s individual concerns and anatomy. EVOLV Medical Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery has all FDA approved filler products that have passed extensive clinical testing and published studies. Dr Barone prefers and recommends hyaluronic based filler products for nasal shaping because of their proven safety and the ability, although rarely necessary, to dissolve the hyaluronic product if the desired result is not achieved. The typical cost for injectable non-surgical rhinoplasty therefore varies between $600 and $2500 depending upon the above factors. Each hyaluronic injectable product has its own unique characteristics including softness, lifting ability, flexibility, and duration, therefore an experienced aesthetic provider is paramount.

Absolutely not. The most attractive and natural appearing nasal shape in non-surgical as well as surgical rhinoplasty requires an understanding of individual aesthetics, ethnicity, female or male characteristics, as well as nasal anatomy which is why choosing an experienced aesthetic, board-certified plastic surgeon is the most important factor in meeting each patient’s goals and maintaining optimal safety with injectables. It is also extremely important for the provider to know which patient concerns and goals may benefit from a non-surgical procedure and which patients may best be treated with surgical aesthetic nasal shaping and correction.

One of the great benefits of injectable filler rhinoplasty is no significant downtime. Some swelling and redness is to be expected immediately after the injectable procedure and the extent will depend upon the amount of product needed as well as the specific area of the nose injected. Medication to minimize swelling and, very infrequently, any bruising, ice compresses, and elevation will help. Most patients can return to normal activities in 1 or 2 days. Camouflage makeup is available although not typically needed.

It should be remembered that non-surgical rhinoplasty with injectable fillers is always temporary and the result will fade at a rate depending on the type of hyaluronic filler utilized as well as the amount and location treated on the nose. Typically results will last for at least 6 to 9 months before starting to noticeably diminish in most patients. Injectable liquid rhinoplasty is also not appropriate for more significant nasal contour irregularities, curvature, and asymmetry and in those patients, surgical rhinoplasty should be considered for proper improvement and correction.

The results of any effective skin care regimen are highly dependent upon matching the most effective skin care products and services with each patient’s unique skin type, lifestyle, skin history and goals. That is why the most important factor in achieving safe and optimal skin care results is the experience and training of your skin care professional. Dr Barone and EVOLV’s nurses and certified licensed aestheticians have more than 100 years of combined experience in advanced aesthetic skin and patient care, clinical research and ongoing education and training.

During your initial consultation and evaluation at EVOLV, your professional provider will review all options that will address your concerns and goals.  Dr. Barone and the EVOLV professional staff have extensive experience and many years of training in all state-of-the-art surgical as well as non-surgical treatment options that are clinically proven to be safe and effective.  Your most important decision is finding an experienced and credentialed, board-certified plastic surgeon and professional support staff that you can trust.

Your EVOLV professional staff have many years of experience in all clinically proven aesthetic treatment options and technologies which will be reviewed with you in creating a specific treatment plan to address your goals and concerns.  Other effective skin rejuvenation or scar treatment options include RF Microneedling (Infini Genius), chemical peels and laser resurfacing which are also offered at EVOLV Medical Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery.  Because EVOLV uniquely has experience and offers both non-surgical as well as surgical cosmetic treatment options, a comprehensive treatment plan involving the most effective option can be created for each patient’s goals and concerns.

The overall cost for the microneedling will depend on many factors including the depth and extent of the treatment and adding other complimentary procedures such as PRP, topical growth factors, or medical skin care products.  For deeper needling or collagen induction therapy, red light LED therapy has been proven to reduce recovery time and improve healing and may be considered.  All costs will be itemized and discussed with you before planning any treatment by your provider or our EVOLV Patient Coordinator.

Not at all because the type and depth of needling, the quality of the needles and the technique involved can vary greatly as can results.  Deeper wrinkles, scars or more advanced skin damage and aging may require more aggressive and additional treatments.  In our experience overall many years and thousands of treatments, the results with microneedling, as with any aesthetic procedure or treatment, depend mostly on the training and experience of the provider.  In addition, the use of topical growth factors, PRP and other bioactive products can also significantly affect the outcome in microneedling treatments.

Recovery time after microneedling will depend upon the depth and extent of the needling as well as the quality and time of skin preparation before the treatment.  At EVOLV, we have found that personalized medical skin care programs before treatment can significantly impact the quality of results as well as the recovery.  Superficial microneedling or ‘cosmetic’ needling does not typically require any downtime whereas deeper needling or ‘collagen induction therapy’ as well as RF microneedling (Infini Genius) will usually involve several days of downtime.

The longevity of the results with microneedling as well as any skin treatment procedure, will essentially depend upon multiple factors including continuing regular treatments and consistent use of a personalized medical skin care program allows for longer-lasting results and better correction of your skin issues.

If you have a history of significant sun exposure and have fair or lighter skin with an increased risk or history of previous skin cancer, documented precancerous skin lesions (AK’s or ‘actinic keratoses’), then you may be a candidate for the EVOLV Pulse Peel Program because the treatment has been clinically proven to significantly reduce precancerous lesions or AK’s as well as significantly lower the risk of future skin cancers and to improve the overall quality of the skin. Be sure to discuss this exciting skin cancer preventative option with one of the EVOLV staff to learn more.

EVOLV also offers other options such as the HALO or MOXI lasers (link) which also have excellent clinical results in reducing precancerous lesions and lowering skin cancer risk while also significantly improving global skin quality and health. It is important to remember that a personalized medical skin care regimen and frequent skin checks by an experienced provider are also essential in preventing skin cancer or identifying precancerous skin lesions and even early skin cancers. Identifying risk, improving overall skin health, prevention and early detection are the fundamental priorities in restoring and rejuvenating healthy skin and preventing skin cancer.

If you have a referral from your general physician or dermatologist, and a documented history of precancerous skin lesions, high risk and/or previous skin cancers, then your Pulse Peel Program including the treatments and the 5FU medication used in the procedure will typically be eligible for insurance coverage by many health insurance providers. The medical skin care products required for pre-peel preparation however are not covered by insurance and can be purchased at EVOLV.

The EVOLV Pulse Peel Program has been continuously updated to include the most recent and state-of-the art treatment that has been clinically proven to be effective. The published data on the 5FU pulse peel treatment reveals it to be as effective as traditional at home daily application of 5FU medication but the important difference is it is far more tolerable and less irritating. The proprietary pre-peel preparation program was developed at EVOLV to prepare and condition the skin prior to treatment which has been shown to improve results in both reducing precancerous lesions by up to 85%, subsequently and significantly reducing skin cancer risk, and dramatically improving skin health and quality.

Most patients experience some temporary pinkness in the skin with the 5FU and enzyme application during and after the office treatment but usually do not have any downtime or discomfort. It is important to remember that this is a cancer preventative treatment and therefore some reaction is expected but is usually well tolerated in most patients depending on skin type and the amount of preexisting sun damage. During treatment it is important to use a medical sunscreen and to be conscientious about excessive sun exposure.

As with all aesthetic procedures and treatments, the quality and longevity of your Pulse Peel results will depend upon each patient’s commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and consistent skincare. Regular skin check follow up examinations, the daily application of a medical grade sunscreen, and maintenance skin treatments such as exfoliation, chemical peels and laser treatments can have a dramatic impact on lowering future skin cancer occurrence, reducing risk and improving the overall quality, health and youthfulness of the skin.

If you are an adult female with moderate or even more severe cellulite of the buttocks or thighs, then you may be an excellent candidate for QWO injectable therapy. As with any procedure or treatment at EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, a thorough evaluation, examination, and discussion with an experienced EVOLV professional is the best way to know if you may benefit from QWO non-surgical cellulite treatment as well as to design a personalized and comprehensive treatment program that provides optimal and safe, long lasting outcomes.

In our experience of more than 30 years in aesthetics, there are no other non-surgical treatment options that provide measurable or long-term improvement in cellulite of the buttocks and thighs. We have seen some temporary improvement with some medical skin care products, energy technology such as Cellutone acoustic wave therapy, and other aggressive massage techniques, but the results have been temporary and inconsistent. The more invasive technique of subcision or undercutting the dimples have had some success but limited and not consistent. At EVOLV we have seen some exciting results with the more holistic approach of using QWO treatments and then combining skin health improvement and collagen stimulation utilizing medical grade products and services, as well as Exilis Ultra or EMSCULPT NEO which non-invasively can reduce excess fat, tone muscle, and tighten skin.

The cost of a QWO injection cellulite treatment will depend upon the amount of product needed and the number of treatments, which are based upon the severity of the cellulite and each patient’s treatment goals and whether other combination therapies might be added to the QWO treatment. All patients are provided with an itemized quote at their initial visit and evaluation describing all proposed treatment costs which will be fully explained by an EVOLV staff member.

Because cellulite is a multifactorial condition influenced by genetics, age, skin quality, fat excess, and general health, it is difficult to make predictions about the longevity of QWO treatments as well as any aesthetic procedure. QWO is the most clinically studied FDA-approved cellulite treatment, and in studies with over 1800 adult females, the cellulite improvement was long lasting. We also emphasize healthy lifestyle choices, personalized professional skin care and combination therapies to extend the longevity and quality of cellulite treatment with the EVOLV QWO Program.

There is no downtime after QWO treatments and normal activities can be resumed immediately. We ask that vigorous exercise that might affect the treatment site be postponed for 24-48 hours to reduce any associated swelling.

Bruising at the injection sites and minor discomfort are the most common side effects but resolve rapidly, especially with EVOLV therapeutic options to reduce swelling and bruising which are discussed before and after treatments.

As discussed above, the only significant side-effects of QWO treatments are bruising at the injection sites and some minor discomfort. We ask that patients check with their physician and avoid aspirin and other blood thinners (anticoagulants) if possible, to reduce injection site bruising. EVOLV has extensive experience with clinically proven naturopathic supplements, topical medical skin care products, and Broad band light therapy (BBL) that have reduced the extent and duration of injection site bruising significantly. These options will be reviewed with each patient considering QWO cellulite treatment.

If you have mild to moderate skin laxity or fine lines due to skin looseness, you may be an excellent candidate for SkinTyte II. A through skin evaluation and open discussion of your goals and expectations with an experienced EVOLV professional is the best way to determine if SkinTyte or any other aesthetic service option is best for you.

As a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon with over 25 years of experience in surgical and non-surgical aesthetics, Dr Barone has developed EVOLV into a comprehensive practice combining the most clinically proven options in skin care products and cosmetic treatments and services in every area of aesthetic care. At EVOLV we are passionate about education and research, and we believe in finding the most proven and effective options, whether they are surgical or non-invasive, for each patient’s budget, concerns, and expectations. Non-surgical skin tightening, and firming may also be obtained with energy micro needling (Lutronic Genius), Renuvion JPlasma, Exilis Ultra, EMSCULPT NEO, or in more significant cases, aesthetic surgical options. It should be emphasized that in our experience, professional medical skincare programs individualized to each patient’s skin type and goals, is the best way to get the optimal results from your SkinTyte or any aesthetic treatment.

The cost for SkinTyte will depend upon the size of the area treated as well as time and number of sites for treatment. Each patient treatment plan is individualized by their preexisting skin condition and goals so time and costs will vary. Following your evaluation, your EVOLV provider will provide you with a personalize quote itemizing the proposed treatment and all associated costs.

There are no permanent results for any skin aesthetic procedure because the skin will continue to age and the ongoing skin health and quality will depend upon several factors including consistency and quality of medical skincare, use of sunscreen and sun avoidance, and a few lifestyle choices such as smoking and overall general health. As a holistic and comprehensive aesthetic practice, EVOLV believes in and encourages all patients interested in achieving their best and most long-lasting results to consider and pay attention to all these ‘parts’ of general and skin health to obtain the best outcomes.

The SkinTyte treatment is entirely non-invasive and has no recovery so normal activities can be resumed immediately after the procedure.

During the SkinTyte treatment, a warm ’stone massage’ type sensation is experienced as the infrared energy heats the deeper layers of the skin. Best results in tightening are seen the longer and higher the temperature can be tolerated. After the treatment, the warm feeling quickly resolves and typically no side effects are noticed other than a transient tingling in the skin. It should be remembered that full results may take up to 3-4 months and that SkinTyte treatments are best for mild to moderate laxity.

When considering any aesthetic procedure or product, a consultation and evaluation with an experienced licensed aesthetician or professional is always the best option for safe and predictable results. Dr. Barone and the professionals at EVOLV have many years of experience in clinically proven aesthetic procedures, products and services and will be able to suggest the most effective option to meet your goals based on a discussion of your expectations and a focused examination. Plasma Pen™ treatment can provide brighter and more youthful skin quality as well as long-term improvement in overall skin texture, tone, and reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

EVOLV is a comprehensive aesthetic practice providing both non-surgical as well as surgical aesthetic options for each patient’s individual concerns, goals, and budget. A thorough evaluation and discussion of concerns with an experienced EVOLV aesthetician will be the most effective way to determine treatment options for each patient as well as cost and recovery time.

As with any elective aesthetic procedure, cost will vary depending upon the extent of the area treated and the procedure time. Generally EVOLV Plasma Pen™ treatments vary in price from $325 – $1300 depending on the factors above. The treatment price includes all post therapy visits and related care.

Because your skin is a living and dynamic organ (and the largest) of the body, it is vulnerable to damage and injury such as ultraviolet rays from the sun, environmental toxins, poor overall health, aging, and many other factors; so results of any skin treatment, including Plasma Pen™ resurfacing, are not permanent. However the best way to maintain and even improve your Plasma Pen skin benefits, as well as any aesthetic surgical and non-surgical procedure, is healthy lifestyle choices and a personalized and consistent medical skincare program. In general, when combined with an effective medical skin care program, Plasma Pen™ can provide exceptionally long-lasting results that can last for several or more years.

Initial redness and crusting can typically range from several to ten days and then will gradually fade away. As new skin cells and collagen are stimulated and replace aging tissue, the skin surface will show continual improvement and the carbon crusts will resolve and fade away. The actual recovery time will depend upon the depth and extent of treatment. Your EVOLV aesthetician will help you plan on the expected recovery time based on your treatment goals. An individualized medical skincare plan to pre-treat the skin as well as a post-treatment maintenance program is the most effective way to minimize the recovery time and maximize outcomes.

Redness, swelling and some patchy crusting may be experienced initially after Plasma Pen depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment plan and desired results. This will usually last a few days or more and then medical camouflage makeup can be applied as needed. Sun avoidance and protection are very important after treatment in order to prevent or minimize unwanted or uneven pigmentation. Your EVOLV aesthetician will review these recommendations in your pre-treatment meeting and will provide instructions on the best medical skincare products to avoid unwanted pigmentation and to speed optimal healing.

This can vary, as your Plasma Pen™ treatments in Toledo can be used all over your face and neck for different reasons.  The time it takes to do each area depends on the area of concern and the patient.  Treatments may take up to a couple of hours and we always reserve time to go over what was discussed during the consultation and after care, as well as allow for time for the topical anesthetic to take effect.

The Plasma Pen treatment doesn’t affect your ability to work.  For example, someone having the eye area treated will still be able to manage as they would normally.  However, taking time off work may be beneficial to some patients who are uncomfortable with the healing process and make like some downtime at home.

This also depends on the patient and their after care.  In general, we suggest allowing approximately 7-10 days; some patients find most of the carbon crusts have healed by day 5, while other patients who may have a slower healing rate for whatever reason can take up to 14 days.

We recommend avoiding makeup immediately after the treatment or until the carbon crusts have been resolved.  This is for hygiene and to reduce the chance of infection as well as avoiding premature removal of the carbon crusts which may increase the chance of infection and pigmentation.  However, the patient is adamant about wearing makeup, then we recommend a medical grade makeup such as Jane Iredale.  Jane Iredale is a 100% mineral-based makeup, which is calming and therapeutic to the skin, however this still comes with caution as all brushes need to be washed after use to avoid the potential for cross infection.

Insurance coverage varies by carrier and typically will only apply for reconstructive situations such as post mastectomy for breast cancer. You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

Anyone without severe skin laxity who would like to:

• Improve the appearance of cellulite
• Tighten and tone the skin and tissues of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, upper arms, and areas above the knees.
• Reduce swelling and speed recovery after aesthetic body surgery

Best results with Emtone therapy in Toledo, Ohio are obtained in a series of 4-6 treatments scheduled once or twice a week.  Your EVOLV professional will discuss treatment recommendations based on each patient’s unique goals, anatomy, and budget.

Emtone therapy in Toledo is an office-based non-invasive and no-downtime procedure and is very well tolerated.  Your EVOLV-certified professional will provide specific instructions on post-treatment recommendations.

Clinical studies have revealed that optimal results in toning and contour are experienced with:

• Increased hydration both before and after treatment
• Pre-treatment optical skin care which is provided by your EVOLV licensed aesthetician
• Maintain and practice an overall healthy lifestyle
• Avoid excessive sun exposure and smoking

Most patients experience some improvement immediately in skin firmness and tone, but optimal and more comprehensive results typically take several months.

Emtone therapy can significantly improve tone and contour results:

• When added to EmsculptNEO of the abdomen, buttocks, arms, hips, and thighs
• Combined with Qwo injectable therapy to reduce cellulite and bruising as well as the overall contour of buttocks and thighs
• Following aesthetic body surgery to reduce swelling and downtime

Pricing for Emtone therapy will depend on several factors including time, areas treated, and total sessions.  Your EVOLV professional will provide specific pricing estimates before scheduling as well as answer any questions regarding the Emtone treatment.

PRP and PRF are obtained from each patient (autologous) and therefore are 100% natural and free of any other human, animal, or synthetic products. Numerous research and clinical studies have proven that the concentrated platelets and multiple growth factors uniquely contained in PRP/PRF have powerful rejuvenative effects in the repair and restoration of skin cells and hair follicles creating more youthful tissues as well as reduction of inflammation and improved healing.

Platelet-rich fibrin or PRF is really the second-generation concentrate compared to PRP because unlike PRP, PRF processing does not require the use of any anticoagulants.  The result is that the ‘fibrin’ produced in the PRF contains a higher concentration of powerful platelets and growth factors and, most importantly, has a considerably longer rejuvenative effect than PRP.

PRF has been shown to comprehensively improve results in treating:

• aging eyelids and dark circles or ‘hollowing’ of the lower eyelids
• fine lines and aging skin of the lips and perioral skin
• male and female hair loss, thinning the hair follicles and scalp (combined with micro-needling)
• aging skin and sun damage; PRF is utilized after chemical skin peels, laser therapy, and TIXEL skin treatments to restore a more youthful appearance and healthy skin function and reduce recovery time
• treatment of acne scars, scar tissue, excessive sun exposure, and radiation damage
• improves outcomes and reduces swelling and downtime in fat grafting

There is no pain associated with the PRF application itself, but some discomfort may be noticed with the combined or associated micro-needling, laser, or chemical peel treatment.  Topical anesthetics, local injectable nerve blocks, and pain medication are available and used as indicated to keep each patient’s treatment comfortable and well-tolerated.

The number of PRF treatments recommended must be individualized depending on each patient’s goals and the amount of rejuvenation desired.  Your EVOLV professional will make a specific recommendation following your evaluation and assessment.

As with most elective aesthetic procedures, the cost of PRF treatment will depend upon the number of tubes needed, the number of treatments or series, and the time and extent of any associated procedures combined with the PRF application.  Each patient will receive an itemized quote detailing all costs as well as the amount of PRF recommended and the number of treatments.

PRF is a cutting-edge rejuvenative therapy that concentrates each patient’s own natural growth factors and platelets to reduce inflammation, speed healing, and promote new cell growth and repair.  The advantage of the second-generation PRF is a more powerful and more sustained effect.  Reduction in redness and inflammation is usually noticed immediately and for several days after treatment.  The rejuvenation of younger and healthier skin as well as improved hair quality, less thinning, and growth is a process that is noticeable within a few months.  Optimal and long-term results are usually experienced with a series of PRF treatments.  It should be emphasized that the most natural appearing and long-lasting improvements with PRF therapy, as well as all aesthetics at EVOLV, are experienced with an ongoing medical skincare program and a healthy lifestyle.

EVOLV Plastic Surgery offers only FDA-approved breast implants and has had all its procedures extensively tested. Any risks associated with surgery – from bleeding to infection or reactions to anesthesia – are rare when you select a top plastic surgeon like Dr. Barone, who is renowned for his expertise in cosmetic surgeries.

Dr. Barone’s decades of experience in cosmetic procedures further guarantees safe results through his meticulous attention to detail – helping you achieve peace of mind throughout every step!  

Regardless of the procedure, every patient at EVOLV gets the opportunity for an informed discussion about any potential consequences that may arise before undergoing treatment. 

Although they are long-lasting, breast implants are not permanent, and they may need to be replaced. You can see your plastic surgeon for an annual examination to evaluate your breast health and implant integrity.

Over time, your breasts will change due to aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal factors, and gravity. As the appearance of your breasts changes with time, you may want to have a breast lift or an implant exchange to restore a more youthful contour. 

Breast augmentation can take many paths, with some of the most important factors being implant type, length of surgery, and associated fees. EVOLV’s Patient Coordinator will provide a personalized quote outlining all expenses related to your procedure –ensuring you’re fully informed on cost and expectations! 

Submitted to the scrutiny of careful examination, 3D imaging, and personal desires – Dr. Barone approaches implantation with consideration for width, height, projection, and volume to ensure results tailored specifically for each individual’s wants.

Unwavering in his commitment to providing superior outcomes, he never fails to rely on an implant ‘sizer’ in the operating room; every patient is guaranteed an ideal fit that will leave them satisfied with their desired look!

Although recovery time will depend on the surgical technique, the position of the implant (submuscular or sub-glandular), and age, EVOLV Plastic Surgery knows that the key to a successful post-breast augmentation recovery lies in individualized care tailored to each patient.

To help reduce downtime, our team provides comprehensive preoperative instructions and education, healing supplements, targeted post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy treatments – resulting in an improved recuperation experience overall! Our staff is ready to discuss expected periods of rest with you so your plans afterward can be made accordingly.

If you’re looking for a change in breast size and shape, breast augmentation might be the perfect treatment option. It could be an ideal choice if your breasts are fully developed but don’t meet expectations due to asymmetry, empty upper pole volume, or impact from pregnancy/weight fluctuation/aging. Patients must also be physically healthy, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic goals.

After your breast augmentation procedure, you will be carefully monitored in a recovery area before going home. To assist with healing and minimize swelling, gauze dressings are applied over the breasts, along with an elastic bandage or support bra.

Post-operative instructions and follow-up appointment dates will be discussed before leaving, and any prescribed medications, such as pain relief tablets and antibiotics, to prevent infection. Wearing a supportive garment such as a bra or bandeau is advised during this period of recovery time to ensure optimal results from surgery.

When it comes to cosmetic procedures, many people are looking for comprehensive solutions that can address multiple issues. Breast implants are a popular choice for women who want to enhance the size and shape of their breasts, but can they be combined with other cosmetic procedures? The answer is yes. Breast implants are often paired with breast lift surgery to increase the size of the breasts and lift and reshape them for a more youthful appearance.

Patients combine breast implant surgery with fat transfer, or fat grafting, to help restore volume to areas of the face and body affected by aging, trauma, or congenital factors. It harvests living fat cells from donor sites before purifying and skillfully injecting them into specific target locations for natural-looking results.

Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure among women of all ages who wish to enhance the appearance of their breasts. However, there is much speculation regarding the age limit for this surgery.

While there is no specific age limit for breast augmentation, it is generally recommended that patients wait until their breasts have fully developed, usually by 18. Additionally, candidates for breast augmentation should be in good health and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery.

Many women considering breast implants wonder if the procedure will impact their ability to exercise or participate in sports. While it’s natural to have concerns about any changes to your body, rest assured that getting breast implants won’t necessarily hinder your physical activity.

Many women who have undergone breast augmentation find that they can exercise just as well as before the procedure – if not better! You can maintain an active lifestyle with supportive sports bras and gradually return to physical activity after surgery.

Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic procedure with a recovery process that varies depending on the complexity of the surgery and the techniques used. However, at EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we strive for optimal outcomes by utilizing personalized medical skin care programs to promote healing, supplements, and LED light therapy sessions throughout the post-op period.

Typically, the swelling will subside in two weeks. Our knowledgeable and professional staff will provide information about expected recovery times so our patients can make well-informed decisions concerning their rhinoplasty journey! 

Non-surgical rhinoplasty involves the use of dermal fillers to reshape the nose. While this is non–invasive and requires no downtime, non-surgical rhinoplasty is not permanent like the surgical options, and the results are not as prominent. 

Rhinoplasty surgery varies in cost, depending on the complexity of each procedure. It can include anything from anesthesia time to possible cartilage grafts and additional materials needed for successful completion.

Certain insurance carriers may cover rhinoplasties performed to correct problems directly affecting airway obstruction. EVOLV’s patient coordinator and billing team can help you explore all your potential coverage options! 

The incisions made during rhinoplasty are usually made inside the nose, meaning they are hidden from sight. In some cases, a small incision may be made on the outside of the nose, but this incision is typically very small and placed in a natural crease where it will be less noticeable. While some minimal scarring may occur, it usually fades over time and is not a cause for concern.  

At EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, achieving exceptional results while keeping patient safety at the forefront is paramount. Although rare, there are some risks associated with any plastic surgery procedure – from anesthesia to breathing difficulties as well as infection or poor wound healing which could lead to scarring. Unsightly swelling, discoloration, and unsatisfactory nasal appearance can occur post-surgery requiring revisional procedures for optimal outcome satisfaction. 

While rhinoplasty can drastically improve one’s appearance, other cosmetic procedures can also provide significant results when it comes to aesthetic enhancement. EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offer a range of cosmetic procedures that can be combined with rhinoplasty to achieve an optimal outcome.

These procedures include chin augmentation or mentoplasty, personalized medical skin care programs, and more. Combining procedures allows for a more complete transformation. 

Rhinoplasty is an intricate surgical procedure that should be delayed until after sixteen due to continued nasal growth and development. Altering the nasal structure too early can lead to abnormal patterns or deformities. Like a tent with external & internal support structures, removing some components at such delicate ages may cause a collapse over time. 

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that dramatically alters the appearance of one’s nose by restructuring it in order to create more aesthetically pleasing dimensions. Through this operation, the nose can be reshaped to achieve balance with your other facial features and help you look and feel your best! 

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a popular cosmetic procedure that aims to enhance the appearance or improve the function of your nose. Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions about this procedure. One of the most common misconceptions is that rhinoplasty is only for cosmetic purposes. This is not always the case, as many people undergo rhinoplasty to correct breathing problems or to fix a deviated septum.

One common misconception is that rhinoplasty is painful and risky surgery with a long recovery period. The truth is that most patients experience only mild discomfort and can return to their normal activities within two weeks.

Another misconception is that the changes will be unnatural-looking. With technological advancements, experienced board-certified surgeons can yield natural-looking and subtle changes that can enhance your appearance without appearing overdone.  

It may take time for your nose to heal before glasses can be comfortably worn. In the first few weeks after surgery, putting pressure on the nose should be avoided, which may affect wearing glasses. Your surgeon will provide personalized advice on when it is safe for you to start wearing glasses again and may suggest alternative options during the healing process. 

Rhinoplasty is the answer to achieving perfect nose symmetry. Whether your nose is broken or crooked, this cosmetic surgery can help bring balance back to your profile. 

Cost varies depending on treatment areas and number of treatments needed. 

The most common areas of the face treated with Botox® are: frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines, and even migraine headaches can benefit from this popular treatment.  

If you’re considering getting Botox® treatment for the first time, it’s important to know that there are some steps you can take to prepare. Avoiding alcohol, aspirin, and blood-thinning medications for a few days before the treatment can help minimize bruising. Additionally, it’s important to stay hydrated and avoid smoking in the weeks leading up to the procedure.  

Get a younger, natural look by softening your facial lines with Botox® in Toledo. You must be healthy and free from neuromuscular disease for the treatment to be effective. Schedule a consultation at EVOLV to find out if you are the ideal candidate for this rejuvenating procedure. 

There is virtually no downtime required after getting Botox® cosmetic treatments! While you may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, these usually resolve within a few hours or days.

Remember to abstain from rubbing or massaging the injection site for the first 3 hours after the treatment to avoid any unwanted spread of the botulinum toxin. This will help you avoid unwanted facial weakness or asymmetry caused by affecting other muscles. 

Enhance your look in Toledo with Botox® combined with dermal fillers to regain volume and achieve balance. Pair it with HydraFacial MD to exfoliate, extract, and rejuvenate, leaving you with a radiant glow. 

There is no age limit for Botox®. And while you may think of it as a treatment for aging skin, there are actually many medical reasons why young patients might choose to get ‘prejuvenation’ Botox®. For example, it can help with jaw tension, associated TMJ pain, TMJ, gummy smiles, and various facial disorders. 

Botox® has been used for cosmetic purposes for many years, but it may surprise some to learn that it also has medical applications. One such use is for the treatment of migraines. Botox® injections can help to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines by blocking the release of certain chemicals in the brain.

Additionally, it can be used to treat pain associated with jaw grinding as well as excessive sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis. By injecting the affected area with Botox®, the nerves that cause the sweating are temporarily weakened, reducing the amount of sweat produced.  

Usually, Botox® injections take between three to five months to diminish, depending on the patient’s metabolism and the amount of Botox® used.  

A numbing cream may be applied to keep you comfortable during treatment if desired but is usually not needed. 

After getting Botox® injections, there are a few things you should avoid to ensure the best results. Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours. This can cause Botox® to spread to other areas of the face. Avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours.

This can increase blood flow, causing the Botox® to move from the treated area. Additionally, it’s best to abstain from alcohol and salty foods for at least 24 hours since both can cause dehydration.   

Botox® not only reduces the appearance of existing wrinkles but also helps prevent new ones from forming. It works by relaxing the muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles, preventing them from contracting and causing constant movement that leads to the development of fine lines over time. You’ll be left with a more relaxed and refreshed look that enhances your natural beauty. 

This simple and safe treatment reduces wrinkles and fine lines, but it’s important to note that maintenance is required every four months or so. On average, Botox® lasts 3-4 months before additional treatments are needed to maintain the improvements. 

Neurotoxins, such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® injections, act as neuromodulators, temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause lines when you smile, laugh, or frown. These “wrinkle muscles” can be easily smoothed with either of these neurotoxins, which have been FDA-approved for many years.

Dysport®, works faster than Botox®, producing results within one to two days, and all three treatments typically last between three to five months. 

A good candidate for dermaplaning would be someone with dull or uneven skin texture, fine lines, or light acne scarring.

Dermaplaning is a safe procedure with minimal side effects. You may experience slight redness in your face for a few hours following treatment which subsides within a few hours. 

The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to complete. There is no downtime with the procedure. You may resume normal activities immediately after treatment. 

Dermaplaning is considered a cosmetic elective and is not covered by insurance. Cost varies depending on the extent of treatment and the number of sessions needed.

Combining Dermaplaning with other treatments can enhance your results. Chemical peels, for example, work by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing a newer, fresher layer underneath. When combined with dermaplaning, the effects can be even more impressive.

Dermaplaning can also be paired with laser hair removal, which can help eliminate unwanted hair, giving your skin a smoother, more polished look. Whether you’re looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, or achieve a brighter, more radiant complexion, pairing Dermaplaning with other treatments can help you achieve your goals faster and more effectively. 

Dermaplaning can benefit individuals of all ages. Ultimately, the ideal age for dermaplaning will depend on each individual’s unique skin concerns and goals. 

Dermaplaning is an effective exfoliation technique that prevents new acne and pimples from developing by unclogging pores. However, it is not recommended for individuals with active acne. The process removes dead skin cells that can become trapped in pores and create excess sebum. 

While undergoing the treatment, it’s normal to feel a mild scratching sensation, but you shouldn’t experience any discomfort. 

It’s recommended to avoid applying any products for the first 24 hours following the procedure to allow your skin some time to heal and reduce the risk of irritation or infection.  

Generally, the effects of dermaplaning last for around four to six weeks. After this period, your skin will naturally accumulate dead skin cells and fine hair. You can expect the best results from dermaplaning if you commit to a regular treatment schedule to maintain the outcomes.  

When performed by a trained professional, dermaplaning can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and promoting cell regeneration. 

MOXI laser is generally well-tolerated, and any discomfort during the treatment is usually minimal. Topical numbing cream can be applied for optimal comfort. MOXI laser side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, sensitivity, dryness or flaking, and rare pigment changes. These effects are generally mild and resolve within a short period.  

The number of sessions needed can vary depending on individual factors and the specific skin concerns being addressed. Typically, 1 to 3 treatments are recommended to achieve optimal results. 

The MOXI laser is suitable for various skin types, and can be used on all skin tones.  

While MOXI laser treatment stimulates collagen production and provides long-term benefits, the natural aging process, and external factors can affect your skin over time. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the results. 

Recovery time after a MOXI laser treatment is minimal to no downtime. You may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, which usually resolves within a few days.  

The cost of MOXI laser treatment can vary depending on factors such as the treatment area and the number of sessions required. 

MOXI laser can be combined with other treatments in Toledo to enhance results. Two popular options are the neck lift and liquid facelift. A neck lift can address sagging skin and excess fat on the neck and jowls, complementing the rejuvenating effect of MOXI laser on the face. Meanwhile, a liquid facelift can provide added volume and contour to the face, enhancing the smoothing effect of the MOXI laser.  

The longevity of results can vary depending on individual factors and skincare habits. It is advisable to follow a good skincare routine and protect your skin from sun exposure to maintain the results for a longer duration. 

MOXI laser can be suitable for sensitive skin. It is safe and effective for any skin type or color. 

MOXI laser can help improve the appearance of mild acne scars by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal. 

The MOXI laser procedure is generally safe for adults of all ages. However, it is best to consult with a skincare professional to assess the suitability for younger individuals. 

MOXI laser treatment can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, hands, and more. 

It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to heal properly. 

It is advisable to avoid strenuous activities, hot baths, saunas, or excessive sweating for a few days following the treatment to support proper healing.

Individuals who might benefit from weight loss injections like Semaglutide include those who are overweight or obese and have been unable to reach their weight loss goals through diet and exercise alone. This medically supervised treatment is suitable for patients in overall good health and who have a BMI over 27, or a BMI greater than 25 with related comorbidities. 

Weight loss injections are administered once weekly using a prefilled syringe that can be injected into the abdomen, upper arm, or thigh. Patients receive guidance on proper care and lifestyle changes to help maintain lasting results. 

At EVOLV, we will provide guidance and support throughout your weight loss journey, helping you create a comprehensive plan. This plan should include medication, and essential lifestyle changes like a balanced diet, increased physical activity, and healthy habits. 

Maintaining weight loss with medication sometimes requires ongoing treatment. We can help determine the best approach for your situation, including whether long-term use is necessary. 

Results from our weight loss injections can differ for each individual. Most people see weekly weight loss when they follow our treatment plan. Since everyone’s body responds differently, the outcomes can vary greatly. Dr. Barone customizes each treatment, adjusting dosages to ensure maximum effectiveness for every patient. 

Medications like Semaglutide, initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes, have shown considerable effectiveness in promoting weight loss. The US Food and Drug Administration has now approved these drugs for treating obesity, even in individuals without diabetes. 

When administered under medical supervision, weight loss injections are generally considered safe. However, as with any medication, there can be potential side effects. At EVOLVE Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, we prioritize patient safety and develop personalized treatment plans to enhance confidence and self-esteem. 

For optimal results, we recommend receiving treatments 2-3 times per week initially, gradually reducing frequency as your healing progresses. 

Lymphatic drainage massage (LDM) is generally safe and poses minimal risk for most people. However, it might not be suitable for individuals with specific health conditions such as heart problems, kidney failure, blood clots, infections, liver disease, or a history of stroke. 

Manual lymphatic drainage massage is not painful. It’s a gentle technique that improves lymph flow using rhythmic pressure and light, pumping movements. This method encourages the drainage of tissue fluid through the lymphatic and venous systems. Utilizing a soft touch and the palms of the hands, MLD enhances circulation and often helps relieve swelling, particularly for those recovering from surgery. 

After receiving Manual Lymphatic Drainage, avoid hot baths and saunas for the first 24 hours because elevated temperatures can impede lymph fluid movement. Additionally, refrain from massaging the treated areas to avoid disrupting lymphatic flow. 

The speed at which manual lymphatic drainage massage produces results can vary based on individual health and the specific condition being addressed. Many clients experience noticeable reductions in swelling and enhanced comfort after just a few sessions, with improvements continuing over time. Some people feel immediate benefits like relaxation, lightness, and increased energy. This massage helps clear the lymphatic system by eliminating toxins and metabolic waste contributing to fatigue. Additionally, it can aid in reducing congestion, with effects beginning within minutes or hours. However, the full benefits might become more apparent after a few sessions. 

For the best waxing results, your hair should be at least 1/4 inch long, or 1/2 inch for coarse hair. This length is usually achieved within one to two weeks after shaving. To reduce discomfort, exfoliate with a loofah the day before your waxing appointment. 

Waxing is generally not recommended for individuals with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, raised moles, or broken skin. However, waxing may still be an option for sensitive skin. There are products available that contain nourishing ingredients specifically designed for sensitive skin. 

The duration of waxing results can differ based on the individual and their genetics. Generally, waxing keeps the skin smooth for 4 to 8 weeks, offering a much longer-lasting effect than shaving. 

Waxing can cause discomfort and tenderness, but pain levels vary based on individual pain tolerance, the waxed area, and the esthetician’s skill. Here are some tips to minimize the pain, making it more manageable: 

• Exfoliate: 

• Exfoliate the desired area 1-2 days before your appointment. 

• Remove dead skin cells by using an exfoliating cream allowing the wax to grip the hair more effectively and reduce pain. 

• Take a Pain Reliever: 

• Consider taking an analgesic like acetaminophen or ibuprofen 30-45 minutes before your appointment. 

• These medications can reduce discomfort and inflammation caused by sudden hair removal. 

• Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol: 

• Skip caffeine and alcohol before waxing as they can make the skin more sensitive and tighten pores, making hair removal more painful. 

• Instead, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and relaxed, minimizing the pain. 

• Choose an Experienced Professional: 

• Seek a reputable medical spa such as EVOLV in Toledo, with skilled estheticians and high-quality products. 

• An experienced professional can apply and remove wax efficiently, minimizing pain. 

Waxing is generally safe for pregnant women, although many may notice increased sensitivity during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and increased blood flow to the skin. This could make the waxing process more uncomfortable than usual for some.
