Introducing Our Non-surgical Face Lift

Non-surgical cosmetic techniques are becoming increasingly popular due to their fast, safe and effective results. Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, improvement in skin tone and texture, and restoration of tissue volume can all be achieved without surgery. At Malana Medical Spa, we now offer a comprehensive non-surgical face lift. This procedure includes 68 units of Botox® to target the eyebrows, forehead and crow’s feet. Fractional ablative skin resurfacing of the face with the Pixel® is performed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture, and stimulate the production of collagen. One syringe of Juvederm® is used to improve tissue volume in areas such as the nasal labial folds or lips. An Anti-aging Facial Treatment is included to maximize results for your skin. Our Non-surgical Face Lift is performed in our Spa in two sessions approximately 2 weeks apart without general anesthetic or surgery. Each session lasts 1-2 hours. Topical or nerve block anesthesia is used as needed to virtually eliminate any discomfort. There may be mild-to-moderate bruising, redness or swelling in the treated areas for several days after the procedure but this usually resolves in 1-2 weeks. In as little as 4 weeks, the Non-surgical Face Lift from Malana Medical Spa can give you the softer, smoother, younger-appearing skin you’ve been looking for without the risk of surgery.

GETTING MY LIPS DONE
NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DID I THINK I WOULD GET MY LIPS DONE, ITS NOT LIKE I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THEM. BUT A FRIEND GOT HERS DONE AND THEN I COULDNT HELP BUT BE CURIOUS AS TO WHAT THEY WOULD LOOK LIKE. SO I ASKED ABOUT IT AND THE PROCEDURE SEEMED SIMPLE ENOUGH. I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE THE NERVE BLOCK, BUT ITS BETTER THAN NOT HAVING IT AT ALL. I THINK EVERYBODY FINDS NUMBING TO BE A STRANGE FEELING, BUT OTHER WISE IT WAS FINE. MY LIPS WHERE SLIGHTLY SWOLLEN FOR ABOUT A WEEK . MY LIPS LOOK LIKE THEMSELVES BUT FULLER, MORE NATURAL WHICH IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. NO DUCK LIPS HERE!! I HAD SLIGHT BRUISING, BUT I'M ALSO VERY FAIR SKINNED, SO NO SURPRISE THERE. I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS, AND IF YOUR UNHAPPY WITH YOUR LIPS ITS TOTALLY WORTH IT ! JUVEDERM STAYS IN YOUR BODY LONGER THAN RESTYLANE OR COLLAGEN, AND ITS SMOOTHER IN CONSISTENCY, SO IT LOOKS BETTER TOO. JUVEDERM CAN ALSO BE USED FOR OTHER PARTS OF THE FACE AS FILLER, AND THE RESULTS ARE JUST AS GOOD.

Love my BOTOX

I have been getting Botox injections for the past two years and have not been completely satisfied with my results. My results have either looked unnatural or did not give me the look I was hoping to achieve. A friend recommended that I go to Malana Medical Spa and pay a visit to the Nurse, Stacy who performs "the best" injections she had ever had. After an in depth consultation, in which I was educated for the first time and given an honest answer about desired results, I was injected by Stacy. First of all, she was so gentle and the injections were painless. Secondly, she took her time and iced the areas before injecting me. Lastly, a full 10 days later the complete results are beautiful. It is not overdone and she proved to really know where and how much I needed for my particular needs! Thank you Stacy for the best BOTOX I have ever had.

I look forward to more cosmetic rejuvenation treatments at Malana Medical Spa!!

Best,

THE LIPS OF A GODDESS!!! THANKS TO DR. PULERA

My lips have always been a bother to me. They were always plain. I called them
vanilla lips, never very exotic or intriguing. So, of course, there was something that had to be done about that. I have always been an avid fan of all beauty magazines. One day I came across a glossy advertisement that made me envious and propelled me to seek the lips of this goddess. So with the magazine in hand and the excitement of finally achieving my beautiful lips I showed the ad to Dr. Pulera. Showing Dr. Pulera exactly what I wanted I put the immensely comfortable white Malana robe and sat in the treatment room as excited as ever. Listening to the exotic sounds of the Hawaiian music in the background and the sweet scents emanating from the candles made me so relaxed. Then the doctor came in and explained that I would be injected with anesthesia throughout my mouth. Expecting the shooting pain to come, I closed my eyes and opened my mouth. To my surprise I felt nothing but a tiny poke when the needle went in. Shortly after my whole mouth became numb. Then Dr. Pulera began his artistry in sculpting Juvederm injections both to my upper and lower lips. I felt nothing. Then the mirror was handed to me so that I could analyze my lips. They were the exact lips that I wanted in the ad. I had the goddess lips!!!!!! So after about an hour or so the anesthetic wore off and I could not stop looking at them. Any chance I got I would run to the mirror. I glossed them up, and off I went that same night to a have dinner with friends. When I walked in I was met by stares and open mouths. They loved them and I loved them. After a week I began getting complements on how natural and full they looked. I love my new lips they complement my face and make me look so much better .... They are my goddess lips!

Laser Hair Removal

I am so excited about my results, I just have to tell everyone!
I recently bought laser hair removal packages at Malana Medical Spa. I am doing it all, legs bikini, underarms and that embarassing hair on my lip and chin. I tried another place in Los Angeles for Laser hair removal and their laser did not give me the results that I am getting at Malana. I have only done two treatments out of six so far and I have not shaved in three weeks! The treatments are easy to tolerate and I really like the Nurse too. She makes the experience really comfortable and the rest of the Staff is so nice and helpful.
Thank you Malana Medical Spa. I will be a longtime customer for ALL my beauty enhancements.
