Advanced Aesthetics Without Surgery

Our Walnut Creek practice offers non-surgical treatments because we understand that not everyone is ready for surgery, and many aesthetic concerns can be effectively addressed with innovative, minimally invasive solutions. Our team of aesthetic professionals has decades of combined experience delivering natural-looking results through the latest technologies and techniques. 

What Are Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments?

Non-surgical aesthetic treatments encompass a wide range of minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures designed to enhance your appearance without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended recovery periods. These treatments utilize advanced technologies, including injectables, laser therapy, radiofrequency energy, ultrasound, and other innovative modalities, to address concerns ranging from wrinkles and volume loss to unwanted fat, skin laxity, and pigmentation irregularities.

Available Non-Surgical Treatments in Walnut Creek


Our Walnut Creek practice offers a comprehensive menu of non-surgical aesthetic treatments, organized by category.

Injectables

  • BOTOX: The most popular aesthetic treatment worldwide, BOTOX temporarily relaxes facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Results develop within 3-7 days and last 3-4 months.
  • Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, enhance lips, and sculpt facial contours. Different formulations address specific concerns, from fine lines to deep folds to cheek augmentation. Results are immediate and last 6-18 months depending on the product and treatment area.

Injectables

  • Kybella: This FDA-approved injectable treatment dissolves submental fat (double chin) without surgery. Multiple treatment sessions are typically required for optimal results.
  • PRP Therapy: Platelet-rich plasma injections harness your body's own growth factors to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote hair growth. This natural treatment option enhances healing and rejuvenation.

Facial Rejuvenation

  • Microneedling: Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving texture, tone, and the appearance of scars and large pores.
  • DiamondGlow: This advanced dermabrasion treatment simultaneously exfoliates, extracts, and infuses skin with customized serums for instant radiance and hydration.

Facial Rejuvenation

  • Chemical Peels: From gentle superficial peels to more intensive treatments, chemical exfoliation improves skin texture, reduces pigmentation, and promotes cellular turnover.
  • PlasmaX (PRP Facials): Combining microneedling with your own platelet-rich plasma supercharges collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
  • Profound RF: This innovative treatment combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to tighten skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve elasticity with results comparable to a mini facelift.

Medical-Grade Skincare

Our aesthetic professionals will recommend pharmaceutical-grade products specifically formulated to address your concerns, from acne and aging to hyperpigmentation and rosacea. These medical-grade formulations contain higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter products, delivering superior results.

Medical Weight Loss

Our comprehensive medical weight loss program incorporates the latest GLP-1 medications (Semaglutide and Tirzepatide), personalized nutrition guidance, and ongoing medical supervision to support safe, sustainable weight loss. This medically-driven approach addresses weight concerns that often accompany aesthetic goals.

Body Contouring

  • CoolSculpting: FDA-cleared cryolipolysis freezes and eliminates stubborn fat cells in areas like abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under the chin. Results develop gradually over 2-3 months as your body naturally processes eliminated fat cells.
  • EmSculpt: High-intensity focused electromagnetic technology induces powerful muscle contractions that build muscle and reduce fat simultaneously. Ideal for abdominal toning and buttock lifting.

Body Contouring

  • Aveli Cellulite Treatment: Treatment: Minimally invasive procedure that releases fibrous bands causing cellulite dimples for smoother, more even skin on buttocks and thighs.
  • VASER Shape: Ultrasound technology combined with massage therapy reduces fat deposits, smooths cellulite, and tightens skin.

Lasers & Light Treatments

  • HALO: This hybrid fractional laser treats both superficial and deep skin layers simultaneously, dramatically improving tone, texture, and reducing pigmentation with minimal downtime.
  • Broadband Light (BBL): IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy treats sun damage, age spots, redness, and broken capillaries while stimulating collagen for overall skin rejuvenation.

Lasers & Light Treatments

  • Laser Hair Removal: Permanent hair reduction for unwanted hair on the face, underarms, legs, bikini area, and other body regions.
  • MicroLaserPeel: Precise skin resurfacing removes damaged outer layers to reveal smoother, more youthful skin beneath.
  • Vbeam Perfecta: Pulsed dye laser specifically targets redness, rosacea, broken blood vessels, and vascular lesions.

Recovery and Results

Recovery varies by treatment type:

Injectables:

Minimal swelling and possible bruising. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Results develop within days to 2 weeks.

Laser/Light Treatments:

Temporary redness, mild swelling. Skin may feel warm like a sunburn. Peeling may occur with more aggressive treatments. Results develop over several weeks to months.

Body Contouring:

Tenderness, temporary numbness, or mild swelling in treated areas. Normal activities resumed immediately. Results develop over 2-3 months as fat cells are eliminated.

Facial Rejuvenation:

Varies by treatment from no downtime (DiamondGlow) to several days of flaking (chemical peels) to mild swelling (microneedling).

Most non-surgical treatments require a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. Maintenance treatments help preserve your improvements long-term.

Non-Surgical vs. Surgical Options

Understanding when non-surgical treatments are appropriate versus when surgery may be better suited to your goals is important.
Non-surgical treatments excel at:

  • Early intervention and prevention
  • Gradual, subtle improvements
  • Maintenance of surgical results
  • Addressing mild to moderate concerns
  • Providing results without downtime
  • Lower cost and commitment

    Surgery may be more appropriate for:

    • Significant excess skin requiring removal
    • Dramatic, transformative results
    • Severe tissue laxity or ptosis
    • One-time comprehensive correction
    • Long-lasting, permanent improvements


    Many patients begin with non-surgical options and progress to surgery when ready, or choose surgery for a dramatic transformation followed by non-surgical maintenance.

    How much do non-surgical treatments cost?

    Pricing varies depending on the type of treatment selected. Injectable treatments generally range from $400 to $1,500 per session, based on the product used and the amount required.

    Are non-surgical treatments painful?

    Most non-surgical treatments involve minimal discomfort. Injectables typically feel like small pinches, and topical numbing cream is applied beforehand for comfort. Laser treatments may create a warm or snapping sensation, but built-in cooling systems help reduce discomfort. Body contouring treatments such as CoolSculpting often cause an initial cold sensation followed by temporary numbness.

    How long do non-surgical treatment results last?

    Results vary by treatment. BOTOX usually lasts 3–4 months. Dermal fillers can last 6–18 months depending on the product and treatment area. Laser and skin rejuvenation treatments may provide results lasting 1–2 years with proper skincare and sun protection. Body contouring results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight, since treated fat cells do not regenerate.

    What is the best non-surgical treatment to start with?

    The ideal starting treatment depends on your individual goals and concerns. Many patients begin with BOTOX or fillers for immediate, noticeable improvements with minimal downtime. Others prefer skin rejuvenation treatments like chemical peels or microneedling to enhance overall skin quality.

    Do non-surgical treatments look natural?

    When performed by experienced professionals, non-surgical treatments produce natural-looking results. The objective is to enhance and refresh your appearance without creating an overdone or artificial look.

    How do I maintain my non-surgical treatment results?

    Maintaining results typically involves periodic touch-up treatments, consistent skincare, sun protection, healthy lifestyle habits, and stable weight. For injectable treatments, a customized maintenance schedule is recommended to preserve results before they fade.

    What if I am not happy with my results?

    Patient satisfaction is a top priority. If you are unhappy with your results, it is important to communicate concerns promptly. Many issues can be adjusted or corrected, and open communication ensures your treatment plan aligns with your expectations.
