Dr. Shivananjappa specializes in non-invasive aesthetic treatments. Her expertise includes laser procedures (such as laser resurfacing, laser peels, and fractional laser), Botox injections, and other cosmetic enhancements focused on restoring a natural, youthful appearance. She also performs procedures like under-eye filler removal. She considers it a privilege to treat patients with acne scars, an area of deep personal and professional commitment. She emphasizes that there is no single treatment protocol appropriate for every patient, tailoring each plan to individual needs. A strong commitment to patient safety underpins all treatments. Dr. Shanthala emphasizes that a lifted, rejuvenated, and youthful appearance can often be achieved effectively without surgery. Her non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments effectively address a range of concerns including forehead lines, sagging brows, under-eye wrinkles, crow’s feet, lip lines, skin laxity around the mouth, loose neck skin, overall skin texture, acne scars, and pigmentation. She believes that skin quality matters just as much as lifting facial structures for comprehensive rejuvenation. Before recommending treatments like UltraClear laser resurfacing with laser coring, Dr. Shanthala thoroughly evaluates a patient's skin, laxity, face, and neck to ensure meaningful and appropriate facial rejuvenation. Her philosophy for advanced laser rejuvenation focuses on better technology, superior tissue targeting, and precise patient selection, rather than merely increasing energy. She specifically chooses laser coring for treating UV-damaged, lax skin of the neck and décolletage, recognizing the unique wound-healing biology of these areas. Dr. Shanthala maintains extreme caution regarding aggressive ablative resurfacing of the neck and chest due to their delicate skin and distinct wound-healing biology. She is well-versed in the documented risks of ablative resurfacing, informing her cautious approach to delicate areas. Her treatment philosophy prioritizes controlled remodeling with deep respect for how delicate skin heals, rather than simply treating more aggressively, especially for areas like the neck and décolletage. The overarching goal of her treatments is controlled remodeling of the skin. She operates under the principle that different anatomy deserves a different, tailored approach. Her non-surgical treatments are designed to improve skin quality, remodel dermal tissue, influence muscle activity, and restore volume. For patients who prefer not to undergo surgery, she offers advanced non-surgical options such as laser coring combined with subtle volume restoration. She utilizes and has extensive experience with 2910 nm fiber laser technology, which she considers the future of advanced laser rejuvenation. Within her Boston Laser-Coring Lift™ protocol, not every patient requires every device, underscoring her commitment to individualized treatment. Her approach is not about excess, but about treating the skin correctly and maintaining it with intention over time. She believes in the skin's incredible capacity to heal and rejuvenate when provided with the right tools, such as UltraClear Laser, and adequate time. UltraClear Laser is a key tool in her practice for helping patients reclaim their skin without surgery. She notes that single-modality treatments are often insufficient for atrophic scars, as they rarely address both the fibrous bands and volume loss components. For scar treatments, her approach and the order of modalities are highly individualized, varying by patient anatomy and specific scar type.
