    Your Wellness and Aesthetics

    Motykie Med Spa is dedicated to providing state of the art aesthetic, skin care, anti-aging, and fat reduction treatments to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, West Hollywood and surrounding areas. One of the most sought after non-invasive procedures offered at the medical spa is CoolSculpting. For a new patient, an excellent way to learn and gain real insights about a procedure can be when a past patient is willing to open their heart and share their actual experience and results about the procedure.

    Hylan’s Experience

    Hylan is a Los Angeles, CA based individual who, at one time, weighed 306 pounds, and was concerned about the appearance of love handles and excess fat deposits in his lower abdominal area. Hylan decided to go ahead with CoolSculpting at Motykie Med Spa, which is led by the reputed plastic surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie.

    Hylan was seeking a supportive procedure that could help provide a boost to his commitment to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. He did not wish to go through an invasive surgery procedure, and was determined to improve his diet and exercise so that he would be able to maintain the results of a non-invasive procedure for the long-term.

    The team of experts, led by Dr. Motykie, at Motykie Med Spa carefully tried to understand the needs, goals, and aspirations of Hylan with regard to his body appearance, and his commitment to maintain a healthy lifestyle following a non-invasive fat reduction procedure.

    Fat Reduction with CoolSculpting

    The team at Motykie Med Spa, after a detailed deliberation and a close evaluation of Hylan’s condition and mindset, decided to recommend CoolSculpting procedure. Hylan managed to achieve a significant reduction in the appearance of love handles. Within a few weeks, he was able to notice a 25 percent reduction in his lower abdomen, which was his major cause of concern.

    This was Hylan’s first experience with CoolSculpting, and the results were astonishingly positive. More importantly, the outcome with CoolSculpting helped build Hylan’s confidence in his own ability to maintain his overall appearance and fitness levels. CoolSculpting provided the much-needed boost to push him to adopt an active lifestyle and follow a healthy and balanced diet.

    The highlight of Hylan’s case was that his commitment to maintain a regular regimen of diet and exercise performed the real magic, while CoolSculpting provided the proverbial “cherry on top.” Hylan has been highly satisfied with his experience at Motykie medical spa. He is particularly grateful to the friendly and caring staff that made his overall experience completely worthwhile.

    Recovery Experience

    One of the best things about CoolSculpting is that the procedure does not involve any cuts, incisions or even injections. A mild level of discomfort in the treated area may be experienced by some patients initially, but it is not something that can cause a specific hindrance to work or pose any risk. Dr. Motykie and his team were always available at the med spa to provide reassurance to Hylan during his recovery phase. All he needed was advil and cortisone cream during the recovery period to achieve better comfort.

    Medical Spa | Beverly Hills | West Hollywood | Los AngelesThe Restylane group of injectable fillers is among the most reliable and widely used facial fillers to reduce the signs of aging from the face. The group of fillers includes Restylane, Perlane, Restylane-L, and Perlane-L. The goal of these products is to volumize the facial skin to improve the fullness of the face, and effective reduce moderate to severe wrinkles, lines and folds.

    Lip augmentation in patients over 21 years of age may also be performed with Restylane and Restylane-L. Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie, provides state of the art non-surgical aesthetic treatments, including Restylane cosmetic fillers. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby locations who are looking for effective alternatives to surgery may visit the medspa for a consultation.

    Hyaluronic Acid Based Fillers

    The Restylane family of products has an advantage in terms of its highly safe and biocompatible ingredients. These products are produced from hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the human body and helps tighten the skin by stimulating the collagen. The clear gel formulation of this hyaluronic acid is injected into the deeper layers of the skin, where it performs the function of adding volume and fullness to the target areas of the skin and reduces aging signs.

     The gel is gradually broken down in a natural way in the body, and causes no adverse reaction. No prior allergy tests are generally required with Restylane injectable treatment. The safety quotient of the products can be gauged from the fact that Restylane and Restylane-L are the only two products that have received the FDA approval for lip augmentation in patients above the age of 21. Motykie Medical Spa experts can provide this treatment to achieve improvement in lip fullness and definition for patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other areas.

    Proven Performance

    Many of the leading medspa facilities around the world support the use of Restylane facial filler. With more than a decade of successful performance behind it, Restylane is also the world’s most scrutinized wrinkle filler. According to the figures provided by the company, Restylane has been used in over 15 million treatments across 65 countries. The safety profiles of all products in the Restylane family are well defined. The treatments nasolabial folds and moderate to severe facial wrinkles can be performed effectively with Restylane.

    How does it Work?

    One of the key advantages of Restylane is that it can produce quick results with a simple procedure. The clear gel is injected directly into the targeted areas of the face, using very fine needles. The gel works immediately in the deeper layers of the skin and adds volume to smooth away wrinkles on the surface. The Restylane formulation is specifically designed to act as the body’s own natural hyaluronic acid, which eventually disintegrates naturally.

    Restylane-L includes lidocaine, which removes the need for applying any local anesthetic, and the patient can remain comfortable during the treatment. Treatment volume should be restricted to 6 ml in areas such as nasolabial folds, and 1.5 ml in each of the lips.

The Healing Curve by Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Gary Motykie, is non-profit initiative to help women who have beaten breast cancer but are left with breast deformity and scars as a result of the mastectomy that saved their lives. “There are plenty of charities that are focused on ‘finding the cure’, but who is helping the survivors get back what breast cancer has stolen from them: their lives, their identity and their breasts!” –Dr. Gary Motykie. Dr. Motykie’s inspiration for starting the non-profit came after the flood of requests the doctor received as a result of episode of Dr. 90210 that showed him reconstructing the bodies- and positively affecting the lives- of breast cancer survivors. The scope of The Healing Curve has recently been expanded to help patients with birth defects, traumatic injuries from accidents, victims of poorly performed surgery and injured war veterans.

    Dr. Motykie covers why consumers should definitely be aware of the “Groupon-ization” when purchasing anti-aging and wellness services. His rule #1: Don’t bargain shop for parachutes or plastic surgery. He points out when it comes to online ratings there’s lots of misinformation about surgeons in the digital world — don’t depend on the same type of review system that is used to rate movies or restaurants to rate your doctor. Read the full article here: www.realself.com

    Ever since the establishing of his plastic surgery practice, Dr. Gary Motykie has consistently remained in touch with various community issues, and made contributions in several ways. He is motivated by the idea of using his skills and experience to provide a healing touch to those in need wherever possible. This passion became a foundation for the establishment of “The Healing Curve,” a nonprofit organization that Dr. Motykie formed in 2008.

    Dr. Motykie felt inspired to launch The Healing Curve following his appearance in the episodes of E! Entertainment’s popular TV show Dr. 90210. During the filming of these episodes, Dr. Motykie performed reconstructive breast surgeries to restore the physical and emotional well-being and rebuild the confidence of women who had survived breast cancer.

    Key Role of the Organization

    The Healing Curve has been set up to perform a key role of providing medical support to women who have beaten breast cancer, but are left to struggle with the post-op challenges of breast tissue loss and scars. This can occur following a mastectomy or breast removal procedure to treat the patient and save her life.

    The Healing Curve provides financial assistance and other forms of support to enable these patients undergo corrective surgeries to address the physical deformities that may have occurred as an outcome of cancer, severe injury, previous unsuccessful surgeries, and/or birth deformities.

    Financial Support for Breast Reconstruction

    The Healing Curve came into being with the primary goal of providing reconstructive surgical procedures to breast cancer survivors. A number of patients who undergo breast cancer surgery may be left feeling inadequate following the primary surgery because they cannot afford secondary procedures to complete the reconstruction and restore the aesthetics. Insurance companies usually cover the initial costs of breast reconstruction, but may not cover secondary surgeries.

    This is where The Healing Curve makes effective interventions to help those who do not have the financial means to bear the costs of these secondary procedures. In Dr. Motykie’s own words: “I started The Healing Curve to help those women who have won the battle against breast cancer but have lost their breasts, their femininity and their self-esteem in the process. These women have already been through so much with cancer itself; they deserve the best possible breast reconstruction that plastic surgery can offer.”

    Expanding the Scope

    Once The Healing Curve organization was on its feet, Dr. Motykie quickly found out that the need for such surgeries extended beyond just the breast cancer survivors. The organization decided to reach out to all survivors who may have suffered a physical deformity arising from an earlier surgery, serious injury or illness, or congenital defects.

    Dr. Motykie’s original goal to perform breast cancer procedures on the Dr. 90210 series was to allow people to know how plastic surgery can restore hope in the lives of the patients. However, the show’s overwhelming response led the organization to embrace all patients who had suffered physical deformities due to any reasons, and were facing financial constraints to overcome those deformities through surgery.
