Medical aesthetics, also known as cosmetic dermatology, is a branch of medicine that focuses on enhancing and improving one's appearance using non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures. It involves various treatments and procedures that aim to enhance facial and bodily features, address skincare concerns, and combat signs of aging.
Medical aesthetics encompasses a wide range of treatments, including dermal fillers, Botox injections, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. These procedures are performed by highly trained and licensed medical professionals, such as dermatologists or plastic surgeons, in a clinical setting.
The goal of medical aesthetics is to achieve a natural and youthful appearance by targeting specific areas of concern, like wrinkles, fine lines, sunspots, acne scars, and sagging skin. It offers individuals the opportunity to rejuvenate their appearance, boost their self-confidence, and feel more comfortable in their own skin.
While medical aesthetics treatments are primarily focused on enhancing physical appearance, they can also have a positive impact on an individual's overall well-being, as looking good can often lead to feeling good.
Skin Tightening
EndyMed treatments use radio-frequency technology to reduce wrinkles, tighten skin, and contour the body. EndyMed is useful for contouring of the lower face/jowls and neck, arms, legs, buttocks, and abdomen. EndyMed utilizes a proprietary 3DEEP radio-frequency technology that penetrates deep into the skin while protecting the outer layer of skin. As the radio-frequency energy penetrates the tissue, it stimulates the body’s existing collagen to contract which improves texture, tone and laxity of the skin and also encourages new collagen production within the skin. EndyMed 3Deep radio frequency technology will tighten skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and cellulite, and stimulate natural collagen production.
PDO Thread Lift
PDO Thread Lift is a procedure that uses a dissolvable suture to tighten and lift your skin. Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are a special medical grade thread that is thinner than hair, made of protein. PDO relaxes tendons and muscles, whilst a foreign body reaction improves the blood flow to the area stimulating neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen in the skin). It also stimulates elastin and hyaluronic acid, both substances are key to maintaining firm, youthful looking skin. Thread-lift treatments result in an instant and natural looking improvement in the appearance of the skin. A process of natural protein synthesis then begins after about 10-14 days. Over the subsequent weeks results will continue to improve, peaking at around 6 months and lasting for up to 2 years as your own body produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Making this form of non surgical facelift a very long lasting treatment. The thread itself is completely biodegradable and dissolves within 12 weeks, after which new collagen has formed around the thread to continue to support results, maintaining a smooth and supple texture of the skin.
Skin Irregularity Treatment (SIT) “Skin Classic”
Back and Abdomen TBD by esthetician during consultation
With our Skin Irregularity Treatment, we use the famous Skin Classic. This device utilizes high frequency radio waves to treat minor skin irregularities such as age spots, skin tags, broken capillaries, sebaceous hyperplasia, milia, cherry angiomas, and acne. Nearly any epidermal irregularity can be treated. Each spot only takes a second and the tip of the Skin Classic probe never penetrates the epidermis. The tip of the probe dehydrates and condenses the epidermal cells creating a scab-like layer which then naturally exfoliates in 3-14 days.
Sculptra Butt Lift
What is a SCULPTRA Butt Lift?
Sculptra Butt Lift is a great alternative to getting a fuller looking butt without undergoing surgery. Sculptra is different because it is a type of filler that is injected into the buttocks area and has minimal to no side effects. It is an FDA approved filler (Sculptra for buttocks is off-label) that naturally works with your body to build collagen. While you can see a difference immediately after the treatment, Sculptra takes a few weeks to a few months for the product to start working with your body to build collagen. Final results are usually seen around 3-4 months post treatment. It is carefully injected and feathered in, near the targeted muscles to create a firm and voluptuous look. While this is not a permanent treatment, results last anywhere from 2 to 5 years. Check for our monthly specials.
Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid)

Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent. Fillers can plump the lips, enhance shallow contour, soften facial creases and wrinkles, improve the appearance of recessed scars, and decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids.
Xeomin
Xeomin is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment. Xeomin is a neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum, an organism found in the natural environment where it is largely inactive and non-toxic. Botulinum toxin is used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by paralyzing the underlying muscles.
What is BOTULISM TOXIN?
When used in aesthetics, botulism toxin is a cosmetic temporary wrinkle reducer. There are many different forms of the botulism toxin available now, including Xeomin, Botox, Dysport and others. The effect is to temporarily weaken or paralyze a muscle to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the face. It is also used for chronic migraines, hyperhidrosis, overactive bladder, eyelid spasms cervical dystonia and other uses. It is one of the most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedures today. In clinical studies it appears safe and effective. It has little to no down time. Results usually last approximately 4 months but will vary from person to person.
Hyperhydrosis Treatment (for underarms)
Treat excessive underarm sweating with Botulinum toxin type A, or Xeomin injections.
It works by blocking a chemical in the body that activates the sweat glands. According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, underarm injections can reduce underarm sweating by 82–87%. The effects can typically last 4–12 months, or up to 14 months in some cases.

Stop Sweating with Cosmetic Injections in Long Beach
There are a number of ways to decrease excessive sweating, but few are able to offer the convenience and reliable results of Botox injections. Botox, which is often a solution for reducing wrinkles and tightening skin, also has positive effects for limiting sweat production.
The active ingredient in Botox - botulinum toxin - reduces nerve sensitivity. By applying this to the areas of your body where you are sweating excessively, your sweat glands will naturally produce less perspiration.
At Hudavi Wellness, we can treat hyperhidrosis in many of the areas of the body where excessive sweat is common, including the:
- Under Arms
- Scalp
- Hands
- Feet
After treatment, recovery time is fast and you can generally resume activities that same day. Results are also quick to become apparent as the Botox stuff starts working immediately and can continue to help block sweat for approximately 6 months after the injection.
