Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we offer neuromodulator injections, including Botox, Dysport, and similar treatments, with a focus on precise advanced injections. Unlike typical medspas, all services, including injections, are exclusively performed by the physician, ensuring medical expertise, precision, and innovative care

All medical services at our practice are personally provided by Dr. Ghavami, a board-certified family physician. This guarantees that every procedure and treatment is performed with expert knowledge, precision, and focused care. Unlike many other practices, we do not delegate medical services to non-physician staff, ensuring a truly personalized and physician-guided experience.

Many of the treatments and diagnostic tools we offer, including PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), and longevity-focused services like genetic, epigenetic, microbiome, and hormone testing, are not FDA-approved for their specific uses. PRP and PRF treatments are considered medical or surgical procedures because they use your own blood products without significant alteration, and as such, they do not fall under direct FDA regulation. The devices used to prepare these treatments, such as centrifuges, are FDA-cleared for their intended purpose.

Similarly, the diagnostic tools we use for longevity services are widely utilized in clinical practice to provide insights into health optimization and preventive care. These services often fall outside FDA regulation as they are considered wellness-based or diagnostic tools rather than medical treatments.

While these therapies and tools are new and advancing in clinical application, we prioritize evidence-based practices and patient safety to ensure you receive the highest quality care.

For both regenerative and preventive/longevity services, you can conveniently schedule an initial consultation online. Please note that procedures, follow-up visits, and additional testing will incur separate costs.

An initial consultation is required to discuss the service of interest, review your medical history, goals, and expectations, and develop a personalized plan to help you achieve your desired outcomes.

We require a 48-hour notice for any cancellations or rescheduling of appointments. Failure to do so will result in a cancellation fee.

We utilize telemedicine for most consultation services, offering convenience and accessibility. For in-person visits and procedures, our physical offices are conveniently located in Anaheim and Orange, CA.

Yes, however, we find PRF to be a more effective alternative. Unlike PRP, no chemicals or additives are used in preparing PRF, enabling full platelet activation and concentration of growth factors. Additionally, PRF can be prepared in both liquid and gel forms, making it versatile for use, including as a "natural filler" and viable alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers.

PRP/PRF therapies offer a natural approach to addressing various functional and aesthetic concerns. PRF, a second-generation platelet derivative, is a 100% natural blood product without additives.

In its liquid form, PRF can be injected to deliver platelets and growth factors to areas such as the scalp for hair restoration and damaged joints to promote healing. It can also be combined with treatments like microdermabrasion to support skin health and appearance.

When prepared in gel form, PRF serves as a "natural filler," similar to hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. Unlike HA fillers, which are synthetic and do not fully integrate, PRF is derived from your own blood and integrates naturally into the treated areas, supporting tissue health and regeneration.

Autologous mesenchymal stem cell therapy provides a natural option for addressing various functional and regenerative needs. Using a small sample of fat collected during an outpatient visit, mesenchymal stem cells are isolated and prepared for reintroduction into the body.

These cells are injected into areas of concern, such as joints, to support tissue repair and healing. By utilizing the body’s own cells, this approach focuses on promoting regeneration and improving function in a natural and integrative manner.

New testing strategies are aimed at gaining personalized insight that can inform individualized health plans. Genetic and epigenetic testing leverages advancements in pattern recognition and AI-driven algorithms to analyze numerous specific regions of DNA. These technologies provide reliable insights into genetic predispositions and potential health risks, offering a detailed picture of your baseline health.

Epigenetic testing goes a step further by providing insight to how your lifestyle, environment, and other factors are influencing your gene expression, providing actionable data about modifiable health risks.

The goals in employing these types of supplemental tests, are to establish a comprehensive health baseline, identify potential risks, and guide personalized lifestyle and medical interventions. By tracking subsequent test results, we can assess the effectiveness of these adjustments and strive for measurable changes associated with improved health outcomes and enhanced longevity.

The cost of testing varies depending on the type, with comprehensive tests potentially costing several hundred dollars. Our approach prioritizes supplemental testing only when necessary. By combining your medical history with conventional tests, we carefully determine the need for additional testing, ensuring a precise and cost-conscious approach to your care.
