In the realm of cosmetic dermatology, the initial consultation with a skilled injector, such as Dr. Hevia, sets the stage for a personalized and restorative experience.

Ask away! Whether you are speaking to our experienced staff prior to making your appointment, or consulting with Dr. Hevia himself, please know that we welcome your questions and concerns. Dr. Hevia can ease your fears and dispel any “myths” you may have heard about filler and Botox.

Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or any other medication or supplement that is considered a blood thinner for 7-10 days before your treatment. (If you aren’t sure about a specific medication, ask us!) This will help decrease your chances of bruising.

Schedule accordingly. Even if you avoid taking blood thinners and take all the necessary precautions, bruising is possible with any injectable treatment. Give yourself at least a week or two to heal before any big events.

“No pain, no gain?” No way! We’ve got numbing cream and ice available to help take the edge off.

Worried you might not like your filler results? Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that can dissolve hyaluronic acid gel fillers in 24-48 hours, so if you are unhappy with your filler results for any reason, your treatment can essentially be reversed.

Dr. Hevia has over 20 years of experience in refreshing the appearance of patients by creating natural results with a conservative approach. Your face is in good hands!

Your comfort, understanding and confidence in your injector are paramount. A well-executed initial consultation not only enhances the overall experience but also contributes to achieving the desired aesthetic goals with optimal results.

Bothered by extra fullness beneath your chin? Sometimes, even with diet or exercise, the unwanted fullness beneath your chin may not go away.  Board certified and top cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Oscar Hevia, performs the new FDA-approved Kybella, to diminish your double chin.

When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella permanently destroys fat cells. Your body’s natural metabolism then processes the fat cleared from the treatment area. Once the fat cells are gone, you’re left with a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Results can be noticed with as little as one treatment with minimal downtime.

Laser hair removal Miami clients welcome relief from shaving and waxing. Everyone has that one area of hair they wish they didn’t have to deal with, and laser hair removal is a safe and effective treatment which not only removes unwanted hair, but helps prevent it from coming back. Laser hair removal has become one of the most sought-after cosmetic treatments in the world because of its high rate of client satisfaction and its minimal risk of side effects.

The most common procedure in Miami cosmetic dermatology uses an intense beam of light to destroy hair follicles, helping to prevent unwanted hair growth. This reduces the density, growth, and coarseness of unwanted hair and helps reduce the need to shave or wax those trouble areas. This treatment usually isn’t a “magic bullet;” typically, three to five treatments are required to achieve optimal results, but these treatments don’t require needles or anesthesia.

One of the most frequently-asked questions is, “Will this hurt?” The honest answer is, “Slightly.” Most patients report that the feeling of the laser removal is similar to the slight stinging one experiences when getting snapped with a rubber band.

Miami cosmetic dermatology exists for one reason: To help keep your skin looking and feeling its best for years to come. Laser hair removal is only one of the tools at their disposal. As with any other procedure, make sure the person performing the laser hair removal is professionally trained and certified. There are a lot of rip-off artists out there who are more than willing to take advantage of unwary clients. Always make sure the person performing your procedure is a licensed doctor, to prevent unfortunate and costly complications later.
