Body Treatments Tailored for Men
The West Institute is proud to offer one of the most state-of-the-art body contouring facilities in the mid-Atlantic region, including Chevy Chase, MD, Bethesda, MD, Potomac, MD, Northern Virginia, and the Washington, D.C. areas. Dr. West selected each device and procedure offered by our body contouring center based on efficacy, results, and patient convenience. Our body contouring procedures recommended for men include:
Liposuction slims, reshapes, and contours areas of the body by removing pockets of excess fat. Typical treatment areas include the abdomen and flanks (“love handles”). Men often seek liposuction to remove these localized areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. The addition of EmSculpt to enhance the “6-pack” (or any other area) by building muscle represents the most advanced combination of non-surgical treatments for the ultimate results in body contouring.

Emsculpt® utilizes electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions while simultaneously reducing subcutaneous fat. Emsculpt® works without downtime, incisions, or surgery. It is the first and only non-invasive device that builds muscle and melts fat by building up the muscles beneath the fat.

CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical procedure that eliminates areas of unwanted fat by freezing them away. Results are permanent and similar to liposuction, without the need for surgery. This non-invasive alternative to liposuction allows men to contour and tone their bodies without missing work or taking time out of their busy schedules. Common treatment areas include below the chin (double chin), flanks (“love handles”) and the abdomen. CoolSculpting can also be done in combination with EmSculpt to further enhance results by building muscle. These non-surgical, no-downtime body contouring treatments, performed together, represent the most advanced treatment options available for achieving a slim, toned, fit appearance.

Additionally, the LightStim®LED Bed is a full body treatment that not only improves skin health on the entire body, but also delivers systemic benefits including reduced blood pressure and cardiac risk, improved mood and sleep; and increased energy due to enhanced cellular production of ATP (cellular energy) and nitric oxide.

Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin® are gentle, subtle in-office treatments that relax the muscles responsible for facial expression. The result of treatment with neuromodulators is smoother skin and a more youthful appearance without a “frozen” look. Neuromodulators are universally used for treating fine lines due to repeated facial expression, “crow’s feet” around the eyes, forehead lines, prominent neck bands, and more. Dr. West participated in the original phase 3 FDA clinical trials for the approval of Botox® Cosmetic and also published the landmark article in the international medical literature describing the dose/duration relationship of neuromodulators. Following your treatment at the West Institute, your results will look subtle and natural, and you will never appear “overdone.”

To achieve the most natural results, Dr. West uses chooses from a variety of FDA-approved dermal fillers including hyaluronic acid, a natural, gel-like substance comprised of a sugar that is found naturally in human skin and is largely responsible for skin’s elasticity and youthful bounce-back qualities. Hyaluronic acid (sugar- based) dermal fillers were developed for injection beneath the skin to reflate and enhance facial contours, smooth lines, restore lost volume, and soften creases. Dermal fillers are available in a wide array of formulations for various applications including rejuvenation of the jawline for a chiseled contour, restoring volume in the mid-face for a more rested appearance, and for overall reflation and rebalancing to counteract the effects of aging. Facial fillers in men have been shown to reverse early signs of aging without any evidence of having been treated when performed by an experienced board-certified specialist with specific advanced training. The end result should be a natural result, with little to no downtime following treatment, to keep you looking as good as you feel.
