Dallas Dermal Filler-What is Juvederm XC?

JUVÉDERM® XC is the smooth gel filler that can instantly fill and reduce wrinkles around your mouth and nose. With just one treatment, you will notice smooth and natural-looking results that can last up to a year

JUVÉDERM® XC is Hyaluronic acid formulated with HYLACROSS™ technology, creating a dermal gel with smooth consistency for natural looking results. Juvederm XC contains a small amount of local anesthetic, lidocaine to reduce discomfort during treatment.

JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel is available in two formulations:
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC
JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC

We use Juvederm Ultra XC, for versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds in areas of thinner skin where more pliable formulation is needed for more even spread such as tear trough and temples.
We use Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, a thicker, more robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and wrinkles in the skin, such as enhancing lip volume and correcting nasolabial folds.

With our conservative approach to dermal filler treatments, the results are natural-looking so that everyone will notice, but no one will know.

Dr Malik offers dental nerve blocks for lip enhancements at both Dallas and Southlake offices for patient comfort
We have a conservative approach to wrinkle correction for natural looking results.

Dallas Medical Weight Loss- Holiday Weight Management Tip 4

Food Diary-Track What you Eat

Make it a habit to Keep track of what you eat by keeping a food diary during Holidays to help you stay on target. Holiday time is loaded with little temptations that somehow find their way into our mouth without any thought!
In our office, we tell our patients to allow themselves a "controlled treat time" for important occasions but keep portion size small and make up over the next couple of day. Denying yourself leads to frustration-breakdown and overindulgence. Plan ahead and be smart, have an occasional treat in moderation and make up the next couple of days. This helps our patients stay on weight goal target.

Naila MD FIT weight loss program is a comprehensive weight loss and maintenance program designed by Dr. Malik for her patients. The program encompasses diet, physical activity, stress management and sleep patterns for a more thorough approach than diet alone. We use prescription medications and in office injections as clinically indicated. We realize that successful long term weight loss is a results of permanent lifestyle alteration and emphasize this concept throughout the program.

Dallas Botox Treatments-Most serious Possible Side Effects of Botox Treatments

Rarely Botox treatment can be associated with serious side effects that can be life threatening. The serious problems with Botox are divided into two broad categories:

Swallowing and Breathing Difficulty
Spread of Toxin

There has not been a confirmed serious case of spread of toxin effect away from the injection site when BOTOX has been used at the recommended dose to treat chronic migraine, severe underarm sweating, blepharospasm or strabismus, or when BOTOX Cosmetic has been used at the recommended dose to treat frown lines

1. Problems with swallowing, speaking, or breathing:
These problems can happen hours, days, to weeks after an injection of BOTOX or BOTOX Cosmetic usually because the muscles that you use to breathe and swallow can become weak after the injection. Death can happen as a complication if you have severe problems with swallowing or breathing after treatment with BOTOX or BOTOX Cosmetic.

2. Spread of toxin effects:
In some cases, the effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. The symptoms of botulism include:
• loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body
• double vision
• blurred vision and drooping eyelids
• hoarseness or change or loss of voice (dysphonia)
• trouble saying words clearly (dysarthria)
• loss of bladder control
• trouble breathing
• trouble swallowing

Please see BOTOX® Cosmetic full Product Information including Boxed Warning and Medication Guide.

We have never seen any of the serious side effects listed above from Botox treatments in our Dallas or Southlake Botox Treatments.

In our Dallas and Southlake Skincare practice, all patients are evaluated by Dr. Malik and all Botox treatments are performed by the Doctor. Call our office 888-210-9693 for an appointment if you would like to find out more about Botox Cosmetic for wrinkle reduction.

Dallas Medical Weight Loss- Holiday Weight Management Tip # 3

Eat Regular Meals

Skipping meals is the wrong strategy for weight control. It inevitably leads to overeating at the next meal. Eating "smart" low carbohydrate, high protein, low fat meals with fiber every 3-4 hours keeps the metabolic balance of metabolic hormones which stabilize your weight. It also keeps you full and satisfied so you don"t overindulge in heavy Holiday desserts and hor'devoures.
When planning for Holiday parties, it is best to eat ligt and smart all day to prevent overeating of calorie packed holiday foods.
The Naila MD FIT weight loss programs stresses the importance of regularly spaced, healthy meals, high in lean protein, low in saturated fat and with low glycemic index, high fiber carbohydrates for weight maintenance.

Dallas Botox Treatments- What are the Possible Side Effects of Botox?

The Less Serious Side effects of Botox

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medication, and like all prescription medications, should only be used under Physician supervision after patient evaluation. Although generally safe and well tolerated with proper patient selection and performed by a trained Physician, Botox treatments can have undesireable side effects and these can range from mild to severe side effects.
The milder side effects are more common than the serious side effects and include:
Bruising at injection site
discomfort or pain at the injection site
Dry mouth, tiredness, headache, neck pain
Eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight, drooping eyelids, swelling of your eyelids, and dry eyes.
Although injection discomfort, bruising are the most common side effects, on occasion we have seen some of the side effects listed above in the countless treatments I have done over the last 10 years.

In our Dallas and Southlake Skincare practice, all patients are evaluated by Dr. Malik and all Botox treatments are performed by the Doctor. Call our office 888-210-9693 for an appointment if you would like to find out more about Botox Cosmetic for wrinkle reduction in Dallas and Southlake.

Naila Malik MD- Dallas Medical Weight Loss, Weight Management Tip 2

De-Stress

Holiday stress with party planning, travel, family visits, gift shopping can all add up and drive you crazy. Stress has many detrimental effects on your body including emotional overeating and belly fat deposits.Plan ahead to reduce stress, make holidays easy on yourself by lowering your expectations from your own self, take on only as much as you can handle, if you are still stressed try stress management with deep breathing, yoga, meditation and just putting some "me" time aside for yourself.
Adequate stress management leads to lowering of stress hormone levels, cortisol, which is implicated in lowering your metabolism and causes mid section fat gain.

We counsel our patients in the Naila MD FIT weight loss program and emphasize the importance of adequate stress management as essential to overall health and long term weight management.

Improve the texture and firmness of your skin
Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
Reduce the appearance of acne, actinic keratosis and other scars
Renew your skin for a youthful glow

DOT Therapy (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) with CO2 Fractional Laser is a cutting edge new laser treatment to transform your skin. The DOT Therapy can significantly improve the signs of aging and sun-damage on your skin, resulting in smoother skin with fewer wrinkles, fine lines and improved texture. DOT therapy can also minimize acne and other surface skin scars.
For mild to moderate signs of skin aging and photo-damage, DOT CO2 fractional laser is rapidly replacing traditional CO2 laser resurfacing because DOT therapy is able to deliver results with minimal downtime.

Most of our patients notice an improvement in skin texture, sunspots, pore size and fine lines 5-7 days after the treatment followed by continued improvement of wrinkles scars and skin firmness over next several weeks to months due to induction of collagen production.

If you have spent years in the sun, especially without adequate sun protection, then you know what it can do to your skin. Wrinkles, skin discoloration, sun spots, skin laxity may be reduced or eliminated with DOT Therapy.

Also, if you have scars from acne or other skin injuries, then you may also be a candidate for this procedure. Most people with deep acne scars need 2-4 treatments for maximum results.

DOT therapy can be used to achieve non surgical eye lift safely.

What is DOT therapy?

DOT Therapy (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) is a fresh new way to transform skin and enhance its overall appearance. DOT Therapy can reverse the appearance of aged or sun-damaged skin, smooth wrinkles and fine lines and minimize acne scars. Because DOT Therapy delivers the desired outcome with minimal downtime, it is rapidly replacing traditional laser skin resurfacing as the treatment of choice for mild to moderate signs of photo damage.

40% Off Dallas Dot CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment- December 2012

CO2 fractional laser resurfacing is a truly remarkable skin rejuvenation treatment for aging skin, photo-damage, acne and other scars. The DOT Therapy is setting a new standard for skin rejuvenation in fractional laser resurfacing.

Unlike other laser resurfacing technologies, CO2 fractional laser treatment with the DOT therapy leaves islands of healthy skin around the microscopic DOTs. This enables your skin to heal more rapidly and minimizes overall damage.

The Smartoxide DOT Therapy laser accurately penetrates the skin at a preset depth determined by Dr. Malik to create thousands of microscopic holes (DOT's) in your skin, which induce immediate skin tightening and stimulate new collagen growth. Patients are often amazed at how tight their skin feels immediately after the procedure. DOT Therapy is designed to improve the skin's texture and tone and to reduce fine lines, deep wrinkles, and acne scars.

At our office all CO2 laser resurfacing is done by Dr. Malik. Before the procedure we will apply a topical anesthetic creme to the treatment area. During the procedure, we use cool air "Chiller" for added patient comfort. We use protective eye ware for patients and providers. Dr. Malik applies a pattern of tiny scanned pulses of laser energy to your skin with a controlled laser. We customize the DOT procedure to your skin and adjust the laser's settings to tailor treatment and obtain the best results for you. Adjustments can be made throughout the procedure to more accurately treat specific areas such as acne scars on the cheeks or fine lines around the mouth.

We believe that ALL cosmetic skin treatments should be combined with a healthy life and an anti-inflammatory skincare for your most youthful, healthy and beautiful skin from inside!
Naila MD Skincare is a targeted anti-inflammatory skincare for most common inflammatory skin concerns and includes anti-aging skincare, medicated acne skincare, extra gentle skincare for sensitive & rosacea prone skin, skin perfecting , tinted SPF20 BB cremes and anti-inflammatory skincare for men

Get smoother, younger looking skin with our "no downtime", painless treatment

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medication, which when injected into muscles, causes temporary relaxation of expressive wrinkles such as frown lines, smile lines, forehead lines and bunny lines. The effect of BOTOX® Cosmetic may last for 3-5 months, depending on the dose injected and the individual response. In our office we use BOTOX® Cosmetic for frown lines between brows and forehead, smile lines and bunny lines. We also use Botox for subtle "eyebrow Lift".

The key to our success with patient satisfaction for cosmetic dermal fillers is Dr. Malik's technique.

We use different types of FDA approved dermal fillers based on the area treated and patient's previous experience;

Juvederm and Restylane are made of Non Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA) similar to hyaluronic acid naturally present in our bodies. These products do not need allergy testing prior to injection, produce natural looking results due there soft gel like consistency and last 7-9 months.

Radiesse is a novel filler, approved by FDA for cosmetic correction of facial wrinkles and folds in 2009. it is made of 30% Calcium Hydroxylapatite and 70% carrier gel. Radiesse does not need allergt testing before injection. Studies from 2008 suggest that Radiesse may stimulate production of your own skin collagen in addition to temporary filling effect of the gel. The results may last longer than 12 months.

Dr Malik is board certified by the American Board of Family Physicians. Her Dallas medical practice is focused on cosmetic dermatology, acne and rosacea treatments and medical weight loss.
