If you have begun to notice areas of sagging skin on your face, abdomen, legs, or arms, you may be a candidate for Silhouette InstaLift, a minimally invasive rejuvenation treatment available at Beach Cities Vein & Laser Center in El Segundo. This treatment is particularly suitable for patients with mild mid-face descent who want to avoid the tough recovery associated with a standard facelift.
What is Silhouette InstaLift and How is it Performed?
Silhouette InstaLift in Los Angeles is an easy minimally invasive procedure that involves the placement of absorbable sutures under the skin. The sutures have little cones attached to them that provide lift, helping to reposition the skin so that the wrinkles are less noticeable. Made of biodegradable polyglycolide/L-lactide (PLGA), the sutures are gradually absorbed within a few weeks, but the material they are made of stimulates collagen formation, leading to improved results over time.
Performed in the office with just a tiny amount of local anesthesia, Silhoutte Instalift involves little to no discomfort. Patients typically need between 3 and 5 sutures per site, depending on what is being treated. Treatment lasts about 45 minutes, with little downtime afterward.
What Areas can Silhouette InstaLift and Treat?
Silhouette Instalift in Los Angeles is most commonly used to provide lift for sagging skin on the mid-face. However, it can be used in several places, including:
- Face
- Neck
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Legs
It is important to understand that the results of Silhouette Instalift vary from patient to patient and are not guaranteed. In general results of surgery are much more dramatic and longer-lasting than Silhouette Instalift.
Benefits of Silhouette InstaLift
Unlike the standard facelift surgery, Silhouette InstaLift is minimally invasive. For patients who are looking for a little lift, but don’t want to go under the knife and undertake the risks, scarring, and long recovery of surgery, Silhouette Instalift may be a good choice. Benefits of this procedure include:
- Minimally invasive
- No scarring
- Little to no discomfort afterward
- Rapid recovery
- Natural, more youthful appearance
Aftercare Tips
The insertion sites will appear like dots, which will dissipate within a few days. It is important not to scrub them or expose them to the sun to ensure that they can heal and fade into the background. In the first 24 hours, don’t wash your face nor apply makeup on the injection sites. To promote healing, you will be given a list of aftercare instructions to benefit your brief recovery.
Other Treatments
As a stand-alone treatment, Silhouette InstaLift can provide significant rejuvenating effects. Nonetheless, you may also benefit from ancillary procedures such as Botox and dermal fillers to achieve a more youthful look.

Amazing job

Category: vein treatmentsOk so I know I left a review before, but I’m at the gym working out right now and I see my legs in the mirror, particularly the right leg, and all I can say is DAMN, MY LEG LOOKS SO GREAT! And all that vascular pain from standing and working behind a salon chair is GONE!!! Thank you again Dr. Raymond and everyone at Beach Cities Vein and Vascular Center! I’m so happy with everything you did and it was worth every penny. To me, you did the impossible, and I’m so not kidding. I had been to two other vein “specialists” over the last 15 years they didn’t even come close to what Dr. Raymond could do. So again thank you!
Fantastic

Look No Further than Doctor Rayman!

Category: vein treatmentsAt age 29, I had a growing varicose vein on my ankle that made me feel so insecure and like everyone was looking at my “monster vein” (lol). I was about to turn 30 in a few months so I started looking up places to help me get rid of my unsightly vein. When I found this site online I immediately made an appointment. I was excited, but also very nervous as I have never had any sort of medical procedure before. However, once i got to the office everyone is SO kind and quick to answer any questions, I felt like I really made the right choice with Dr. Rayman. Marlene was with me through a lot of my appointments, doing my ultrasounds and pictures-she does a great job and is so sweet! Dr. Rayman is one of the nicest doctors I have met. He immediately made me feel comfortable not only due to his extensive knowledge but also due to the fact that he really cared about me, my issue and how to fix it. We went with the Endovenous Laser Treatment to treat the core problem of my “monster vein”. The procedure itself was relatively quick and definitely painless as my leg was completely numb! For me, as someone who gets grossed out easily, it was a mental game of not thinking too much about the procedure as it was happening lol! My mom was allowed to be in the room with me, I got to pick my favorite music, and honestly we all chatted the whole time. I went back for my second procedure, which was the injections into my soon-to-be-gone monster vein. This was also pretty painless for me besides some mild burning sensations initially after the injections. I wore the compression socks as directed and personally had no trouble with them. I had a little bit of a numb sensation where we did the EVLT, but that faded with time and I feel totally normal again. I just went back for 6 month check up appointment, and my monster vein is gone!!! I’m so incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Rayman and his team are so good at what they do, so kind, and SO WORTH IT. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
Excellent Experience!

Category: vein treatmentsYOUR SEARCH IS OVER! This review will be helpful to those who have delayed doing something about their varicose veins because of fear. If you are scared of needles, traumatized from past surgical procedures, and burdened by years of daily reminders of having painful, bothersome, and tired legs due to varicose veins, you do not need to worry anymore, nor do you need to suffer any longer from the physical and emotional pains that come with varicose veins thanks to Dr. Rayman and his exceptional medical practice. A bit of background: I had surgery 8 years ago by a surgeon to address varicose veins in my right leg -- a "real" surgery in a hospital operating room, with full general anesthesia. Not only were the surgery and its after effects painful and long lasting (including nerve damage), even more varicose veins started popping up about a couple years later. Due to that bad experience, I decided I would NEVER do anything about my varicose veins again, and that I was destined to live with the pain, discomfort, and ugliness. Fast forward 8 years, and the discomfort/pain, heaviness/throbbing, etc. were really getting to be a daily issue. Even people were coming up to me asking if my legs were hurting, because they looked like they felt! So I decided to do my due diligence and started to do a lot of research online (medical conditions, procedures, and various doctors). Thanks to Yelp, I found Dr. Rayman!! Being a bit gun shy, I called his office twice with tons of questions, and then proceeded to see him for TWO consultations (with my notepad full of questions). Each time, and with every interaction I had with him and his staff , I felt more and more at ease. Dr. Rayman showed me with the ultrasound exactly what my veins were doing and not doing. (And low and behold, the vein that was supposedly tied off 8 years ago was still there, bad as ever.) He and each one of his staff received me and my zillion questions with such respect, patience, compassion, and professionalism. Three weeks after my consultations, I had my radiofrequency ablation (RFA) done! Dr. Rayman and his staff are great, but I think they are able to show their personal best when actually performing the procedure -- during the procedure, there was wonderful bedside manner, nice music playing, excellent communication between doctor and patient and assistants, and obvious skill and confidence. Being embarrassingly afraid of needles, I must say it was really fine! I wanted to hug him when it was over, he was that great and showed that much care! I also appreciate his practical tips on how to distract myself when he was administering the numbing medication!! And considering it's just 3 days after my procedure and I've already made my appointment for Dr. Rayman to do my left leg (same condition), you've got to know that I'm completely satisfied, comfortable, and grateful. I told him, "Dr. Rayman, thank you for doing what you do!!!!"
