Dr. Julie Bittar de la Cruz

Very grateful to be part of my patients’ hair restoration journey 🫶

Here, you can see the progression of a 2000 FUE Graft Hair Transplant procedure. Full results are at 8-12 months. The hair cycle is slow… this video is a great example of why patience is important in hair restoration.

Another reason that lasers are very cool. The ablative fractional laser treated skin had less UV damage, increased collagen, decreased senescent (zombie) cells, and increased IGF-1 in the papillary dermis. It was able to fight UV radiation better than non-laser treated skin.

Arm skin tightening - non-invasive edition. This is just 1 treatment.

In this video, I am performing a skin tightening treatment using monopolar Radiofrequency. There is no pe*******on of the skin & actually no downtime because of that.

I’m using Thermage here and you can see the immediate before and after results which look quite nice 👀 it is safe in all skin types.

The immediate tightening is due to the collagen contraction that occurs with heat and initially fades and builds over the course of 3-6 months.

Abdomen/ Tummy Tightening with Monopolar Radiofrequency.

In this video I am using Thermage to tighten the skin of the abdomen. No needles, no skin pe*******on, and really no downtime. The photos at the end show the immediate before and after results for the treatment. I am impressed! Our beautiful patient’s final results are going to be in 6 months and we will keep you posted.
