What are the Benefits, Side Effects, and Cost of Laser Vein Removal in Ventura County

What is the Difference of Laser Technology?
The laser integrates the perfect laser wavelength with adaptable variables to supply an exceptional vascular laserlight method. It treats a wide range of vessels from tiny spider veins to deep blue perplexing veins instantly, safely, and effectively. The cooled tip is ideally sized for finding small vessels on the nose, cheek, chin, and other areas of the face. Because of its unique design, the laser delivers light energy harmlessly and efficiently for treating various types of veins. People who are having dark, light or tanned skin can experience phenomenal results with minimal blistering or bruising.

So how exactly does CoolGlide Vein Treatment function?
The laser techniques deliver pulses of light energy that will cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, gradually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface, where it should be.

Do the Laser Vein treatments really hurt?
Although no local anesthesia or pain medication is normally required, most patients opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent. Most patients experience a pinching sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece.

What will I feel when I undergo this kind of treatment?
When the handpiece is placed on the skin, it gives a cool and comfortable feeling. When the pulse of light is delivered, you may feel a mild, abrupt stinging sensation.

How many laser treatments should I acquire?
Generally, one or two treatments are adequate to see impressive results. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. Additional treatments may be necessary where there are many undesirable spider veins. Ask your about your specific condition, since individual results still vary.

What are the possible negative effects of Laser vein Removal?
Although many patients report few of any negative effects, those that most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local inflammation of the skin. These effects typically last for less than 24 hours. Some patients may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your doctor for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.

How soon will I see the results?
Normally, the results will be visible right away! You will see the veins disappear in front of your eyes! Some patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown noticeable improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. And very seldom that your final results may not be apparent for several months. Over time, it is possible for new veins to appear, but these too can be removed with the laser.

Dr. Hanna of La Nouvelle Medical Spa also offers treatment for spider veins with Asclara Injections. In each distinct case, Dr. Hanna recommends the best treatment for the patient. Occasionally, we use the combination of injections and laser vein removal.

What is the Cost of Laser Vein Removal?
The cost of laser vein treatment  may be more affordable than you think. To find out more about the cost of this treatment, visit www.lanouvellespa.com

Finding Answers about the Tummy Tuck Procedure in Ventura County

People often spend a lot of time trying to improve their outer appearance. Health, diet, generics, and body metabolism may be a few reasons why you do not have the appearance that you desire. You may have been a person that has spent many months or even years doing sit-ups and other similar exercises to decrease your stomach flab and have not been successful in your venture.

In cases such as this, you may think about having a cosmetic surgery procedure done, which is known as a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty (abdominal plasty). This procedure involves removing the extra fat and skin from your body. The abdominal walls are also tightened during this procedure.

There are several medical facilities that offer this kind of surgery in Ventura County. Doctor Hanna is one of the most reputable doctors in the area. You will feel very comfortable and confident when you meet with him and discuss all your needs, concerns and your expectations. Only this way you will be able to achieve the best results. Dr. Hanna will show you a large library of before and after photos and will discuss the outcome of the surgery.

Although this type of procedure is successful for most people, it is not to be regarded as a quick alternative to weight loss. In other words, only resort to this sort of procedure, if all other means for weight loss control have been exhausted.

You may also be wondering if you are a prime candidate for this procedure. This cosmetic procedure is suitable for men and women who are in good overall health. Dr. Hanna may also elect to perform liposuction while you are having the tummy tuck procedure done.

Those that have been obese at one point in their lives may also want to have a tummy tuck procedure performed. This is done to tighten up loose skin and remove excessive fat deposits from the body. A tummy tuck procedure is not recommended for women who are of childbearing age or who wish to have more children. The reason for this is because the vertical muscles in your body are tightened, and future pregnancies will or can separate these particular muscles.

Permanent scarring can and will often occur with a tummy tuck procedure. But don't be too worried! Unlike in many other offices, we offer several treatments that help those scars almost disappear! 

The abdominoplasty procedure will take anywhere from one to five hours. The period is according to your specific needs and the complexity of the procedure itself. The best part is that we perform this procedure as an outpatient! You will be able to return home the same day (you just need someone to drive you home). You will be put to sleep with a general anesthesia, which will leave you a little drowsy.

There are two types of tummy tuck procedures that are performed. One is the complete abdominoplasty. When this type of procedure is performed, your abdomen is cut from hipbone to hipbone. This is performed on patients who require the most correction. The incision will be made low on your abdomen. It will be almost at the same level of your pubic hair.

Abdominoplasty before and after by Dr Hanna of La Nouvelle Med Spa

The partial or mini abdominoplasty is performed on patients who have fat deposits that are located in the area below the navel. In this type of procedure, shorter incisions are used.

The difference between the two procedures is of course, the amount or length of the incision, the healing and recovery time, and the belly button placement. In the mini procedure, the belly button is not often involved and there is no need to locate or make another opening for it. In the complete abdominoplasty, your tissue around your navel is cut and removed; therefore, your navel is restructured and has a new opening. When a mini abdominoplasty is performed, there is no need for navel manipulation.

In the mini procedure, less time is spent doing the procedure, and may be done with an endoscope. This type of procedure may take only one to two hours.

Here, at La Nouvelle Medical Spa, we offer both – complete and mini abdomianl plasty procedures in our office in Oxnard, Ventura County.

Dr. Hanna specializes in tummy tucks and liposuction; he also has over 25 years of experience in c-sections so his scars are always nice and precise. View the extensive library of our abdominalplasty before and after photos and see why we are the best office for abdominoplasty in Ventura.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Procedures in Ventura County



Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery that changes the shape as well as reduces the size of the lips on the outside of the vagina. These lips are known as the Labia Minora.

Why Have This Procedure?
Some women are born with irregular or large labia. Other women can develop this after childbirth. It can be just a sign of aging. Enlarged labia can be an embarrassment for some women. The appearance of an out of shape or large labia causes them to lose their self-esteem. 

Chronic Labial Irritation
Chronic labial irritation is caused by wearing clothing that is too tight. This can cause discomfort when having sex, playing sports or any other physical activity.
Labiaplasty can change the appearance, shape, and size of the labia. After the surgery, those women who have irritated, painful labia will find relief. Self-esteem will also be restored.

Major Reasons for this Procedure
There are two major reasons for having this surgery:
  • Cosmetic Reasons:  Women are often embarrassed or unhappy with their labia. This can affect their sexual relationships.
  • Medical Reasons: An enlarged labia can cause discomfort when wearing tight clothes and during sexual activity and.

What If You Have Not Had Children?
Often women want to know if they can get a labiaplasty even when they have not had any children. The answer is yes. If the enlarged labia causes unhappiness or physical discomfort due to its appearance, you should look into having the procedure done. This cosmetic surgery changes the way you look on the outside of the vagina, not the inside, like vaginoplasty.

Where Is This Performed and How Long it Takes?
This is done in a surgical suite for outpatients located at Vaginal Rejuvenation Center in Ventura County. The labiaplasty procedure takes up 2 hours. Another hour is usually spent in the recovery room under the watchful eye of a Registered Nurse. Most patients can return to work in 2 to 4 days after the procedure.

Surgery Itself
The labiaplasty surgery has been performed under conscious sedation using a short acting medication known as Diprovan (propophol). You are asleep during the surgery and will usually wake up minutes after the surgery is finished. You will not need to be intubated or paralyzed during the surgery.

Risks or Discomfort
There are some risks with having this procedure done, however, they are extremely rare. One of them is having an infection. There will be some discomfort at the site of the surgery for a few days but it will then gradually decrease. You will receive pain medication and often antibiotics. In approximately 6 weeks, you will be totally healed. All the sutures are the absorbable ones, so there is need for them to be removed.

Post Op Visits
Postoperative visits for local patients are recommended at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, to make certain that the healing is going well. For those patients from out of town, it is recommended there be a postoperative visit at 3 to 4 weeks.
