Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Ben Talei

Sourced directly from Dr. Ben Talei's social posts and replies.

What is Profound RF?

Profound RF is a radio frequency skin tightening treatment that deposits energy into the skin to stimulate the formation of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. It improves skin quality and laxity and can be used on any skin type and age. Results tend to last four to five years. It is a one-time, non-invasive treatment that makes the skin healthier.

What are Dr. Talei's opinions on radio frequency treatments?

Dr. Talei cautions against radio frequency treatments without proper knowledge. He does not like Ulthera, comparing it to an outdated computer. He finds Morpheus fantastic for superficial pores and sometimes deep tightening. His favorite is Profound, a one-time treatment that results in a 30% improvement in shadowing in the face, though it causes facial swelling for a week. He advises caution with wand devices like Acutite and Facetite in the face, but finds them acceptable in the neck at low energy.

What is the hyperbaric chamber experience like?

The hyperbaric chamber releases more oxygen to the body to expedite healing. Patients using hyperbaric chambers after a facelift heal faster than those who don't. The experience can cause ear discomfort similar to flying, but there is a button to repressurize and allow ears to adjust. The experience is like flying first class, where you can lay down, watch TV, play with your phone, or read a book. The best way to enjoy it is to take a nap.

What are Dr. Talei's views on lip filler?

Dr. Talei believes temporary procedures can have long-term negative consequences. Hyaluronic acid lip filler draws in water, which affects muscle and nerve function. Lip filler can accelerate aging by dragging down the face. Over-expanded tissues damaged by lip filler may not return to normal after reversal, and these damaged tissues are difficult to fix. Overfilling lips at a young age can have lasting consequences. He reminds patients that nothing is truly temporary.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Payments

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Ben Talei received $679 across 14 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
