God Bless Reverand King, a Brilliant and Brave Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP4iY1TtS3s

EZ-PRF is a 100% natural, free of additives or chemicals injection treatment that uses your own cells to rejuvenate your skin. It is great for all skin types and patients, and is particularly wonderful for those patients who do not want any synthetic fillers or who are allergic to injectable fillers. After simply drawing two tubes of your own blood, it is processed by centrifuge, one tube is heated to produce albumin, a protein, while the other tube is processed by cooling resulting in plasma rich fibrin. When they are combined, an injectable gel is formed. EZ-PRF is then injected. Your own blood is really all you need! It’s 100%natural and unmodified, results in maximal growth factor stimulation, and is a natural skin rejuvenation for lines, wrinkles, hair restoration, and volume replacement. For optimal results, patients should repeat the EZ-GEL treatment 6 to 8 weeks after their first treatment and then have a mai treatment once a year thereafter. Best of all, the results are natural, no one will know that you have had anything done, they’ll just wonder why you look so rested, youthful, and healthy! Dr. Persky is one of the few US physicians who offers EZ-GEL treatment.

Skinvive by Juvederm. Honored and proud to be one of the first physicians in US to offer this newly FDA approved skin enhancer. Gives skin a lasting glow. SkinVive is the first and only hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable indicated to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks. I have used it off label over the entire face with excellent results and very high patient satisfaction. SkinVive is not a filler, it is a skin booster, it hydrates the skin and gives the skin a lasting glow. SkinVive is injected with a tiny needle, just below the surface of the skin spaced between 0.5 to 1 cm apart in miniscule amounts. SkinVive is capable of attracting up to 1000 times its weight in water molecules, thus increasing hydration resulting in smooth glowing skin that lasts up to 6 months. SkinVive was approved for use in the US 9/2023, but was used in other countries for many years as Volite. It has a proven track record of safety, effectiveness, and very high patient and physician satisfaction. As we age, our skin loses hyaluronic acid and overall smoothness. SkinVive is a modified form of HA that facilitates the skin retention of its natural moisture, improving skin smoothness and fine lines. The treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes, is approved for all skin types, and does not disrupt everyday activities. Some patients choose to have topical numbing cream applied to treated areas while others tolerate the injections without anything. It feels similar to Botox injections. Keep using your retinol and sunblock. As with any aesthetic procedure it is imperative to chose your treating injection physician carefully!

There is a new kid on the “wrinkle fighting” block, it’s named Daxxify. Daxxify (Revance Corp, Nashville TN) is the newest FDA approved neuromodulator, joining Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin. Michael A. Persky MD (Encino, CA) is a board certified facial plastic surgeon who’s practice is dedicated to non-surgical facial rejuvenation with natural results. Daxxify has been proven to last twice as long as patients previous neuromodulator treatments. In other words, if your Botox or Dysport has typically lasted for 3 to 4 months, then we expect that your Daxxify treatment will last for 6 to 8 months. There is about a 50% additional premium paid for the longer lasting Daxxify treatment, though you will not need to visit the office as frequently. As with other neuromodulators, Daxxify is used to treat the glabellar lines between the brows (“11 lines”), the eye smile lines (“crow’s feet’), forehead wrinkles, and all of the other areas that Botox may be used. Dr. Persky recently spoke at the Los Angeles Multi-speciality Cosmetic Meeting 2023 at The Four Seasons Hotel Beverly Hills on an expert neuromodulator panel. Please feel free to contact our office regarding any questions that you may have regarding Daxxify or any facial cosmetic procedure. We look forward to the privilege of helping you achieve and maintain your facial aesthetic goals for many years to come.

Happy and Healthy Valentines Day. Hug and send love to your teenage daughters and girlfriends. Unfortunately, new research from the CDC found that nearly 57% of high school girls struggled with persistent sadness or hopelessness in the past year. 30% of the girls reported seriously considering su***de in 2021. Both numbers are significant increases over a decade ago with 36% reporting sadness or hopelessness and 19% reporting suicidal thoughts in 2011. Lots of hugs, communication, and love.

Fad weight loss drug Ozempic, a type 2 diabetes injectable drug has been shown to be relatively safe and effective for rapid weight loss. A side effect is facial volume loss which in turn causes saggy skin, and an aged, gaunt appearance. I use my natural artistic vision to treat Ozempic face non-invasively, restoring facial volume and natural youthful healthy beauty with safe and effective products and procedures. Be well, be good

Secrets to a Long Life...World's oldest person, 115 year old Maria Branyas Moreira was born in March 1907. "Order, peace, good relationship with family and friends, contact with nature, emotional stability, no worries, no regrets, lots of positivity and staying away from toxic people. I think longevity is also equal to being lucky. It could be luck and good genetics." We often wish people "May you live to 120 years old!" as Moses lived to 120. What do you tell someone on their 120'th birthday?...Have a nice day!

Save your face. Colleague Heidi Waldorf MD (New York)shares her philosophy of “intentional aging” with non-surgical treatments. https://www.wsj.com/articles/skip-the-plastic-surgery-age-intentionally-with-these-kinder-treatments-11673675457?mod=Searchresults_pos1&page=1 ®

Skip the Plastic Surgery. Age ‘Intentionally’ With These Kinder Treatments. Aging is in. More women are skipping facelifts, instead opting for non- or minimally invasive treatments that refresh their visages without (totally) zapping fine lines. Experts explain five procedures to consider.

All that you need to know about Botox, Dysport, and other injectable neuromodulator injections. "No matter which neuromodulator you choose, first thing's first: Vetting the doctor — and we do mean doctor, not med spa aesthetician — is crucial. It is the single most important thing a patient can do not only for their safety, but also to ensure the fairest deal and the best possible outcome."https://www.allure.com/story/neuromodulator-guide

Reflecting on the past year and the year to come, grateful for all of you. Wishing you a wiser, kinder, and happier New Year filled with love and good health

It is Veteran’s Day…

I have been fortunate in my life to have known many men and women who have served in the U.S. military. They are, without exception, some of the most hard-working, disciplined, honest, ethical, strong, and amazing people I know. Every day I feel blessed to be able to count them as friends.

So, Veterans Day is a big deal in the Persky household.

Thank you, veterans, for serving our country. Thank you for putting your lives at risk so that all the rest of us can pursue the potential that our amazing country offers. Thank you for defending the God-given right of my daughters to pursue their goals.

The United States of America is an amazing country largely because of your service. So, thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for your service.

Saying “Happy Veterans Day” just doesn’t seem like enough to recognize your service. But, then again, you’d never ask for anything more.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

Ingenious! Best tip of day for Moms, watercolors without the need, runs on water, Inspire your little facial plastic surgeon to be
