What's New

The following are new services and procedures that we now offer at Menlo Dermatology Medical Group:

  • Kybella™ (deoxycholic acid) is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.  When injected into the fat beneath your chin Kybella™ causes the destruction of fat cells.  Once destroyed those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. The treatment is nonsurgical and takes 15-20 minutes per session.  The number of treatments needed is customized to achieve your goal, usually 2-3 sessions are required.  Results are permanent.
  • Allē® This customer loyalty program takes the place of Brilliant Distinctions and allows you to earn points on Allergan Aesthetics products and a variety of in-office treatments from other brands. Later enjoy savings on Allergan  Aesthetic products by redeeming points.
  • PRO-NOX  Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled delivery system for nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is an analgesic that can be used to ease pain and provide comfort during procedures such as  laser treatments, injections of dermal fillers, or Ultherapy. Unlike traditional anesthesia, Pro-Nox does not need to be administered by an anesthesiologist. Rather, you are the driver of the Pro-Nox system.                          HOW IS PRO-NOX USED?  Pro-Nox is administered through a mouthpiece and hose, allowing you to gently inhale nitrous oxide during treatment. Since you know your body and your threshold for pain better than any other person, this allows you to be in charge of how much nitrous oxide you receive. The Pro-Nox system is completely unlike the nitrous oxide you receive at your dentist’s office. During dental procedures, you do not have control over the amount of nitrous oxide you receive. Furthermore, the levels of nitrous oxide you receive at a dentist’s office qualify as anesthesia since they can reach levels of 70 percent. The Pro-Nox system delivers a 50 percent nitrous oxide, 50 percent oxygen stream to be inhaled during times of discomfort or anxiety. Once inhalation has stopped, it only takes 10 minutes for the nitrous oxide to completely leave your system.  HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?  Unlike the nitrous oxide traditionally administered at a dentist’s office, this 50 percent nitrous oxide 50 percent oxygen mixture leaves the body just as quickly as it is delivered. You will be able to drive yourself both to and from your aesthetic appointment or resume your regular activities. Following your treatment, we simply ask that you wait 10 minutes to allow the nitrous oxide to leave your system. Then you are free to drive or any other normal activity.  RISKS?  As one of the safest methods of in-office sedation, nitrous oxide has been used in medical offices for decades. It works quickly to provide relaxation and is completely safe when used under the supervision of the physician of Menlo Dermatology Medical Group and their trained and qualified staff.
