Posted in Treatments.

“When did that get there?”

A sentence no one looks forward to saying about wrinkles.

What was once a fleeting expression of concentration or surprise is now over-staying its welcome on your face, in the form of forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Not cool.

To the Millennials just about to enter this phase of lasting wrinkles, don’t fret! You have a golden opportunity to push back on these signs of aging without needing to put up with the heavier “frozen face” look that accompanies traditional Botox Treatments. Fight baby wrinkles with Baby Botox!

This fairly new trend is perfect for those who are ready to dip their toes into Botox treatments, all while keeping natural-looking facial flexibility.

This is not your mother’s anti-aging treatment. Let’s jump into the great benefits of Baby Botox!

The Excellence of Exilis

Posted in Uncategorized.

You hear it in so many ways. “I’m still young at heart”, “inside every adult is a little kid”, and “growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.”

There is no shortage of expressions that say no matter what age you are, you can still tap into our youthful spirit. So why not make your reflection in the mirror match?

Fine lines, sagging skin, and deep wrinkles all get in the way of the youthful look we want to preserve and restore. That’s where Exilis Ultra saves the day.

We are proud to offer the Exilis Ultra skin-tightening system at The G Spa office in Los Olivos. Interested in how Exilis Ultra can help you look as you feel? Check out these common questions below!

How to Get Rid of Tech Neck

Posted in Treatments.

We love necklaces. Long and beautiful charms, dramatic gems, or short and classic chains – there’s no wrong style. But a necklace of wrinkles? No thank you.

Everyone will eventually develop signs of aging on their neck. Our necks get just about as much sun and weather exposure as our faces, yet many people don’t think to include their neck and chest in their anti-aging skincare routine. (PSA: Treat the skin on your neck the same way you treat the skin on your face! You will thank yourself in the long run.)

On top of that, with office jobs, computer time, and cellphone usage at an all-time high, our heads tend to stay in the same position (staring at a computer screen) several hours out of the day.

This exposure, lack of protection, and extended screen time create the perfect recipe for the premature aging of our necks. Whether you want to prevent future wrinkles or combat existing signs of aging, there are treatments you can try to preserve or bring back the look of a youthful neckline.

How Dr. Griffin Revolutionizes the Kybella Double Chin Treatment

Posted in Kybella, Uncategorized.

How many times have you deleted a candid photo because you were unhappy with your profile? It happens to us all. The neck and chin area is one of the most difficult spots to lose fat, even with a great diet and regular exercise. Because double-chins develop with the aging process, weight gain, or genetics, they are very common and can be frustratingly hard to get rid of.

Once upon a time, if you were interested in getting rid of a moderate to severe double-chin, you would have to undergo plastic surgery or liposuction. That means pain, discomfort, downtime, a big price tag… the list goes on.

Thanks to Kybella, there is now a third option that is quick, minimally-invasive, and effective. With Kybella, we aren’t afraid to smile for the camera or even flaunt our profile!

Sometimes, guts can get in the way.

We feel it when we’re trying on a new pair of jeans, testing out a new exercise class, or getting ready for a fancy night out – our bodies may not be where we want them to be. Even with our best efforts in the gym or the kitchen, aging, new stresses, injuries, and busy schedules can lead to unwanted fat and a lack of healthy-looking muscle tone.

This isn’t a rare problem. People of all genders, ages, weights, and fitness levels want to feel fitter, more toned, and stronger. 60% of women and a whopping 90% of men are interested in fat reduction and muscle toning treatments. So, if you’re not 100% happy with your body, you are not alone.

The Miracle of Emsella for Men

Posted in Santa Barbara Medical Spa. 1 Comment on The Miracle of Emsella for Men

Erectile Dysfunction.

Not many people can say, or even think about this phrase without feeling a little bit uncomfortable. But the real uncomfortable truth is that ED affects roughly one-third of men, and that number increases with age and activity level. One study shows that 70% of men over 70 experience ED.

While dealing with erectile dysfunction is uncomfortable, you’re in good company with the majority of the male population.

So, how do you combat this issue?

Yes, there is that cute little pill Viagra. But some people don’t want to deal with hormones and chemicals or be reminded of ED every time the mood strikes.

Did you know there is an efficient way to directly target the problem area for long-term, non-invasive results that help you perform the way you want, whenever you want?

Common Areas for Laser Hair Removal: A Breakdown

Posted in Treatments. 2 Comments on Common Areas for Laser Hair Removal: A Breakdown

No matter how you look at it – one thing is for sure. Laser hair removal is a great hair reduction strategy for those who want smooth, silky skin but don’t want to bother with daily hair removal routines. You can skip annoying ordeals like shaving, which leaves your skin feeling stubbly just a few hours later. Or, painful, less permanent waxing appointments that need to be scheduled month after month until the end of time. If you find yourself continuously spending time and money on these temporary fixes, it may be time to invest in a long-lasting solution.

In just a few treatments, you can experience drastic hair reduction that is long-lasting and skips the stubble phase. But, each common area for laser hair removal has its quirks.
