Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. James McMahan

Sourced directly from Dr. James McMahan's social posts and replies.

What was Fraxel treatment, its benefits, and typical duration?
Fraxel was an incredibly effective skin rejuvenation treatment that utilized state-of-the-art light energy technology to stimulate collagen and resurface the top layers of the skin. It effectively smoothed out wrinkles and scars by triggering the skin's natural rejuvenation process. Treatment times typically varied from 15-45 minutes, with the entire process taking around 2 hours, aiming for beautiful, youthful skin.
What kind of results were achieved with tattoo removal and who was a candidate?
The practice achieved seamless and complete transformations from old tattoos to their absence. Individuals who had a tattoo and wished to remove it were considered candidates for the practice's services.
What was Juvederm Voluma used for, its indications, and how long did results last?
Juvederm Voluma was designed to restore lost volume in the hollows of the cheeks, which reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. It was ideal for people who had noticed mild or moderate wrinkles near the mouth or wanted to redefine the shape of their cheeks. Results typically lasted up to 24 months, with some patients reporting even longer durations. While more expensive than some other products, its longevity made it very cost-effective.
Was Botox exclusively a cosmetic procedure?
No, Botox was not exclusively a cosmetic procedure; it had various applications beyond aesthetic enhancements.
What was the approach to dermal fillers at the practice?
The practice provided world-class, premium fillers designed to help patients appear younger and more refreshed, aiming to boost their confidence.
What were the benefits of thigh lift surgery combined with liposuction, and who was an ideal candidate?
Thigh lift surgery, especially when combined with liposuction, was considered an exceptional method for achieving firmer, more contoured, and aesthetically pleasing upper legs. This procedure, commonly known as thighplasty, was highly recommended for individuals who had undergone substantial weight loss and were dealing with excess skin.
What was gynecomastia, its causes, and how did it influence treatment?
Gynecomastia was an overgrowth of male glandular breast tissue, causing an enlargement of the breasts, and usually included a combination of both excess glandular and fatty tissue. It typically developed in young males around puberty and generally persisted in a relatively small percentage of individuals. The relative proportion of these tissues determined the type of treatment necessary to resolve the condition.
