Effective Ways to Remove Scars & Stretch Mark

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 12:00:00 GMT

Written By  Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa  on February 1, 2022

Two of the most commonly cited problem areas that med spa patients want to treat are scars and stretch marks. With advances in aesthetic treatments, you can see dramatic improvement and even total reduction of scars and stretch marks.

At Mekari Dental Studio & Spa in Metairie and Greater New Orleans, LA, our treatment options will make scars and stretch marks a worry of the past. Our laser therapies are state of the art, and combined with other aesthetic and beauty services, we can safely and effectively target and minimize scars and stretch marks.

How Scars & Stretch Marks Form

Stretch marks form when your skin stretches or shrinks quickly. The abruptness of this change can cause the collagen and elastin in the skin to rupture. Collagen and elastin support our skin, making it appear healthy and nourished. Stretch marks are most commonly formed during growth spurts, pregnancy, rapid weight loss or gain, or during weight training when rapid muscle growth occurs.

Scars form when there is a cut or abrasion to the skin, causing skin to stretch or try to fill in the gaps in the wound. Scar tissue is made primarily of collagen. Acne scarring can occur when you pick at your acne or when cystic acne causes deep pitting in the face. If you’re suffering from scars or stretch marks in Metairie, LA, Dr. Mekari can offer incredibly effective treatment options that minimize the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Scar & Stretch Mark Treatment Options at Mekari Dental Studio & Spa

Dr. Mekari has been in private practice since 1998. He offers a wide variety of treatment options that will show rapid results in treating scars and stretch marks.

Subnovii Plasma - The Subnovii Plasma laser is great for stretch marks. The heat from the laser targets deeper layers of skin and naturally promotes the generation of collagen and elastin.
Skin Resurfacing - The CoolPeel C02 Laser works on most skin types and is one of the state-of-the-art tools we use to promote skin resurfacing, allowing newer, healthier skin to be exposed.
PDO Thread Lifts - A revolutionary treatment for acne scars, PDO is not offered by many providers; however, PDO thread lifts are a safe, natural way to reduce the appearance of acne scarring and other scars or stretch marks.
Sub-Z - We also use Sub-Z, which minimizes pain, thermal injury, bruising and swelling for injectable and laser treatments.

Get a Skin Tone & Pigmentation Treatment for Beautiful Skin

Sat, 01 Jan 2022 12:00:00 GMT

Written By  Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa  on January 1, 2022

Skin tone and pigmentation refers to the overall color of your skin. Skin tone is a very broad term, and your skin tone can change temporarily due to sun exposure, stress, illness, and hormones. In general, skin tone refers to your natural skin color. Skin pigmentation is similar. It means the underlying pigment, or color, of your skin in its natural state.

If your skin tone and pigmentation has changed or needs improvement, there are aesthetic treatment options that can make your skin look youthful and healthy again. At Mekari Dental Studio & Spa in Metairie, LA , we offer medical grade chemical peels, laser therapies, and skin care that can dramatically improve your skin’s tone and pigmentation.

Factors That Influence Skin Tone & Pigmentation

The aforementioned traits are primarily determined by the amount of melanin in your skin. Melanin is a natural pigment that determines the color of your skin, hair, and eyes. Your skin can become darker or lighter because of changes in your body’s production of melanin. Your skin tone can also be affected by sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, medications, and illness.

Skin pigmentation disorders like rosacea, eczema, albinism, and melasma can also change your skin pigmentation. Skin damage due to sun exposure or burns can also cause temporary or permanent changes to pigmentation.

Improve Your Skin Tone at Mekari Dental Studio & Spa

Skin Resurfacing – The CoolPeel C02 Laser works on most skin types to remove damaged skin and expose new, healthy skin beneath.
Chemical Peels – Chemical peels are another form of skin resurfacing in which a chemical solution is applied to the face to safely regenerate new skin growth and remove older, damaged skin.
Laser Genesis Excel HR – This treatment is known as the Hollywood Facial due to its popularity in Hollywood. These premium laser therapy treatments can be used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, skin redness, and unwanted pigmentation.
Customizable Lira Skin Care Line – Mekari Dental Studio & Spa is also proud to offer the full line of Lira skin care, which can be customized to your needs.

The Dental Exam Process at Mekari Dental Studio & Spa General Dentistry

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 21:43:00 GMT

Written By  Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa  on June 30, 2021

At Mekari Dental Studio & Spa in Metairie, our dental hygienists perform a dental exam prior to all dental procedures for your health and safety. Each procedure will be thoroughly discussed and any questions resolved prior to the star of dental care.

The Dental Exam Process

Dentistry has come a long way over the years. Scientists have discovered more and more about what our mouth can tell us about the rest of our body. We’ve trained ourselves through continuing education on how to maximize the health benefits our dental work can provide. This has led to the need for a dental exam before you get any procedure, including a routine cleaning.

Exams start with both 3D scan and bitewing x-rays or full mouth x-rays (FMX), which serve multiple purposes. At their core, they are used to spot changes in hard and soft tissue that the naked eye can’t see. They provide early detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss that cannot be seen in a visual exam. They also help determine tooth and root positions.

X-rays also reveal how pediatric teeth and jawbones are developing and if orthodontic treatment will be needed. These x-rays also help a dentist evaluate injuries to the face and mouth.

After x-rays, we examine all tooth surfaces for decay with our special state-of-the-art decay detection instruments. Then your dentist and hygienist will check the gums and bone around your teeth for any signs of periodontal disease, a health condition tied to heart and lung diseases.

We then check your current fillings, crowns, bridges and other dental work for fit, leakage, or unusual wear, and then we finish the exam with a cancer screening including both intraoral and extraoral exams. These exams involve evaluating your neck, cheeks, lips, head, palate, tongue, gum tissue and the floor of your mouth.

We’re looking for any abnormal tissue in the form of sores, lumps, discoloration, or any changes that shouldn’t be there. Any suspicious findings, such as lesions, and we either refer you to an oral surgeon or recommend a biopsy.

Meet all Your Dental Care Needs in Metairie

We at Mekari Dental Studio & Spa in Metairie stay on top of the latest dental techniques and continuously train to perfect our skills. This includes our expertise in the Snap-On Smile and restorative smile makeovers.

Can you have Dental Implants with Severe Bone Loss?

Fri, 26 Mar 2021 12:00:00 GMT

Written By  Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa  on March 26, 2021

Dental implants are comfortable, durable, and practically indistinguishable from natural teeth, making them an excellent and effective tooth restoration option. Thanks to natural appearance , they’re a great boost to your self-esteem and confidence. But can you have dental implants with severe jawbone bone loss? The short answer is yes. Read on to see your options.

What Causes Jawbone Loss?

The jawbone exists to support your teeth. When a tooth falls out or is damaged, the jawbone isn’t stimulated in that area. As a result, the body directs minerals intended for the jaw elsewhere, which in turn causes slow but continuous jawbone loss.

Get Dental Implants, Even with Jawbone Loss

There are several reliable dental implant options for those who suffer from jawbone loss.

Bone Grafting

A dental bone graft is a procedure intended to replace or help with jawbone regeneration for dental implants through the transplantation of healthy bone tissue.

The transplanted or prefabricated bone graft material tissue fuses with the patient’s jawbone and over time it may even stimulate regeneration of the actual bone.

Bone grafts for dental implants prolong the process by six months, or even a year, since the patient has to heal first before dental implants are placed.

All-on-4 Implants

Also known as full-arch fixed implant bridges , all-on-4 implants are a set of four to six dental implants embedded in the jawbone to provide a solid platform for the actual implant. Note, the implants used in the procedure are different from typical implants.

The implant used to replace the missing or damaged tooth is essentially the same, but the four to six tips are usually a specialized cap-shaped tip. The procedure takes about three days, and is also quite effective.

Consult a Professional Dental Implant Dentist in New Orleans

If you’re interested in dental implants but struggling with severe bone loss, all hope isn’t lost. As shown above, you have quite a number of options.

Contact Mekari Dental Studio & Spa today to discuss the best option for you.

PDO Thread Lift vs. Facelift

PDO Thread Lift vs. Facelift

Why PDO Threads are the Way to Go

Written By  Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa  on February 26, 2021

Even though facial aging is inevitable, advances in anti-aging technology mean you don’t have to live with wrinkles and fine lines. There are a plethora of options you could try ranging from invasive to non-invasive. Among all the options available, PDO thread lift and facelifts are the most popular.

These two procedures achieve similar results, but how are they different?

What are PDO Threads?

PDO threads, also known as V-soft line threads are protein-rich dissolvable threads that promote skin tightening by stimulating collagen production. The procedure is non-invasive, and takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, on the other hand, is an invasive surgical procedure aimed at restoring a youthful look by removing excess skin at specific spots of the face, most commonly mid to lower parts of the face.

What is the Best Anti-Aging Procedure?

The PDO thread lift procedure offered at Mekari Dental Studio & Spa may involve more than one session. Facelifts are excellent cosmetic procedures used to restore a youthful appearance, PDO offer a more valuable experience:

They’re Non-Invasive

Facelifts are surgical. A doctor makes incisions at certain parts of your face to remove excess skin. Although the incisions are typically not visible after healing, facelifts are invasive, and require about two weeks of recovery time. PDO thread lifts are non-invasive. The procedure is painless, allowing you to go back to work immediately.

They’re Natural

PDO threads reverse sagging and facial aging naturally. The threads are made of Polydioxanone fibers to stimulate the collagen production. They stimulate the production of type 3 collagen which slims down the face and boosts elasticity. Although a facelift is effective, it involves removing part of the skin to restore skin tightness.

They’re Low Risk

Thanks to their non-invasive nature, PDO thread lifts pose low to no risks. After a thread lift, you may experience slight pain, minimal bruising, swelling or irritation at the area of thread injection, but this usually goes away in a week or less. With facelifts, possible complications include bleeding, bruising, temporary damage to facial nerves, infections, scarring, hematoma, and skin necrosis.

They’re Affordable

Facelifts involve surgery under general anesthesia. The procedure is more complex, hence more expensive. The PDO thread lift procedure is relatively easier. It takes about an hour at maximum, and uses a topical anesthetic and local anesthetic. This makes it a more affordable way to get your youthful appearance back than a facelift.

Professional PDO Thread Lift Procedure in New Orleans

A PDO thread lift is the way to go if you want an affordable, non-invasive way to correct facial aging. Let the professionals at Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa help you achieve your youthful goals.

How to Get a Smile Makeover with Lumineers

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 12:00:00 GMT

Written By  Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa  . on January 25, 2021

Are you self-conscious every time you talk, afraid that others will notice your discolored or broken teeth?

Worry no more because there are affordable and accessible treatment options for your smile makeover by making your teeth appear white and glossy. One of these solutions is Lumineers .

What are Lumineers?

These are veneer types that are faster and less costly to apply than regular veneers. They are highly translucent and look like natural enamel.

Lumineers are ultra-thin and measure 0.3 millimeters. This leaves tooth grinding or reduction unnecessary or minimal upon application.

They are durable and can last (up to) 20 years with proper care and regular dental checkup.

Advantages of Lumineers

Often called "no-prep" or "minimal prep" veneers , which requires reshaping or recontouring bumps or curves on the tooh to level the smile plane and to prevent thicker lumineers. Lumineers are made from Porcelain and offer the following benefits:

Pain-Free Procedure

In most cases, the dentist will not have to grind away or obliterate the original tooth structure because Lumineers are ultra-thin. Also, there is no discomfort or sensitivity after the Lumineers are placed on your teeth.

Quick Process

You only need to go to the dentist twice or three times (optional) to have your Lumineers in place.

Durability

Your dentist will apply your Lumineers securely and reliably so you can bite and chew any food without worries. Practice good oral hygiene to keep your Lumineers working well and your teeth and gums healthy.

Semi Permanent Veneers

Although it is not recommended, you can ask your dentist to remove your Lumineers without damage to your teeth. Your natural teeth remain healthy and intact because there's little to no tooth reduction done.

Less Expensive

Compared to regular veneer attachment, which is a more time-consuming and tedious process, Lumineers' application is more practical and less expensive.

Lumineers Application Procedure

This simple procedure will leave you with a bright beautiful smile that is both practical and less expensive than competing procedures.

The first step will involve your dentist making an accurate shape of your lumineers by taking digital photos and determining the LVI type that fits your face the best. Together, you'll determine the perfect white shade of your Lumineers to blend naturally with your other teeth.
The Second step known as the Trial Smile involves reshaping the teeth to even out the smile plane. This also may involve recontouring teeth to have an even thickness of the lumineer. Finally your dentist will bond the lumineers to your teeth.
The final step involves lumineer seating and bonding which is the longest appointment. At that visit, care is taken in performing bite adjustment and gross removal of the excess bonding cement.

Top 5 Benefits of Getting Our Dental Implants

Wed, 23 Dec 2020 12:00:00 GMT

Written By  Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa  on December 23, 2020

Tooth loss happens due to tooth decay, infection, gum disease, or accident. It affects our ability to eat and speak properly and takes a toll on our self-esteem and confidence.

Fortunately, technological advancements in dental care have provided individuals with missing teeth a modern and lasting alternative to dental implants like dentures and bridges .

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth root replacements made from screw-like titanium or metal posts. A dentist or periodontist screws an implant on a missing root in the upper or lower jaw and waits for the bones surrounding the implant to heal. Then, a fixed or permanent artificial tooth can be attached to the implant.

Dental Implant Advantages

Dental implants provide an improved appearance, self-esteem, and these benefits:

Comfort and Convenience

Dental implants are permanent and become a part of your mouth. Unlike dentures, they don’t require the removal and dental adhesives to keep them in place.

Durability

With proper care and regular dentist visits, titanium dental implants can last a lifetime.

Enhanced Oral Health

Unlike in tooth-supported bridges, the dentist does not have to reduce other teeth to place dental implants. Oral health improves as other teeth are left intact. Individual implants also improve oral hygiene since you can clean and brush areas in between the teeth.

Normal Biting and Chewing

Loose removable dentures can make biting and chewing hard. With dental implants, you can bite and chew food easily, without pain or fear that your dentures might crack or fall off.

Improved Speech

Loose or poor-fitting dentures can slip off and cause you to slur or mumble. You won’t have this problem with dental implants because they are securely screwed, designed to fuse with the bones, and become permanent attachments.

Dental Implants at Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa

Dr. Ammar Mekari, DDS, will perform a comprehensive dental exam, review your medical history, and provide a customized treatment plan tailored to your need and situation. He will explain the treatment procedures, timeline, and cost.

Once the treatment is finished, you will receive care instructions and tips on eating habits and proper oral hygiene. Regular dental visits also ensure oral health and the excellent condition of your dental implants.

PDO Threads for Instant Skin Rejuvenation

Mon, 23 Nov 2020 12:00:00 GMT

Written By  Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa  on November 23, 2020

As we age, our skin loses its volume , elasticity, and structure. Bone mass and muscles also start to sag and fall, making our once firm, tight, and V-shape faces droop and look like an inverted V.

Skin tightening and soft lift procedures such as the PDO Thread Lift Procedure can restore the skin’s facial elasticity, firmness, and structure using V Soft Line Threads.

What are PDO Threads?

V Soft Line Threads or PDO Threads are fine polydioxanone (PDO) threads used to give the face a natural and less-invasive skin tightening treatment than a traditional facelift.

V Soft Line threads are made of protein and thinner than hair. They improve the skin’s collagen production and relax muscles and tendons.

PDO Threads rejuvenate the skin and improve the facial structure like a facelift without general anesthetic and surgery. It is an effective and safe technique that achieves the following effects:

Skin Rejuvenation. The threads promote cell renewal and collagen production, improving skin elasticity and quality while decreasing fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin Tightening. The threads stimulate the increased production of type 3 collagen , which slims the face and tightens the skin.
Instant Skin Lifting. The threads’ mechanism provides an immediate skin lift as the V Soft Line Threads engage with the facial skin.

PDO Thread Lift Procedure

Facial areas suitable for V Soft Lift include the cheeks, forehead, under-eye area, brow line, jowls, and jawline. The procedure varies depending on the spot but follows these steps:

A licensed provider will ask you to recline for prep work. A topical anesthetic and alcohol will be applied to your facial skin.
The PDO Threads will be inserted underneath your skin using a cannula or thin needle.
After the threads are inserted, the needle will be removed. You will feel skin tightening and light pressure.

After this 30- to 45-minute procedure, you can immediately return home or back to work without pain.

PDO Thread Lift Procedure in New Orleans Metairie

PDO Thread Lift Therapy is a less painful and more affordable solution to facial aging for individuals who do not want to undergo invasive surgery.

At Mekari Dental Studio and MedSpa , you’re assured of a safe and effective PDO Thread Lift treatment to rejuvenate and tighten your skin, restoring your face’s youthful glow.
