Perineoplasty at Wei Aesthetic Institute Schedule Consultation Explore Gallery < Back Next > About the Procedure What is Perineoplasty? Perineoplasty is a surgical procedure of reconstructing the vaginal opening and the perineum. Perineum is the area between the vagina and the rectum that provides structural support for surrounding organs and plays a role in keeping the vagina tight.

Who is a good candidate for Perineoplasty? Who is NOT a candidate? Women that have deformities of the perineum after childbirth caused by poor stitching or healing, suffer from undesirable appearance, loosening of the skin, painful sex, or decreased sexual feeling due to vaginal laxity can benefit from this surgery. Perineoplasty helps correct the area and improve the look and function. How is the Perineoplasty treatment done? Perineoplasty aims to make this region appear normal by excising excess skin, loose skin tags, and suturing the underlying muscles or the perineal body closer together to give a more snug feeling in the introitus or vaginal opening. Perineoplasty is done in the operating room under local anesthesia. This procedure takes around 30 minutes to perform. How long will it take to see results? Patients will notice results once cleared by their surgeon after the initial downtime of 6-8 weeks post-surgery. However, there may be tenderness, swelling, and many other factors that may influence post-op results. Full healing of the surgery site and settlement into its new permanent state may take from 6 months to 1 year after the surgery. How long is recovery? For the first week, you should just relax, you may walk around and drive but must avoid all lifting, exercise, sex, vacuuming, and swimming. Starting at 6 weeks, patients will be instructed to follow a perineal and vaginal massage.

Please follow directions, a revision surgery will only prolong the recovery process. Do not insert anything into the vagina! No Tampons and no sex for 7 to 8 weeks. Dr. Wei and/or Dr. Alinsod will discuss all recovery medications and activities with you in detail after your surgery. Most patients can resume all daily activities within 8 weeks.

The only maintenance necessary will be your post-operation appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing. These scheduled appointments will be discussed with you during your preoperative consultation.
- Neuromodulator Body Slimming at Wei Aesthetic Institute
Body contouring and facial sculpting with neuromodulators offer a non-surgical, minimally invasive approach to slim or elongate specific areas, the temporary effects provide impressive results without a long-term commitment, making it a great option. Neuromodulator Body Slimming at Wei Aesthetic Institute Schedule Consultation Explore Gallery < Back Next > About the Treatment What is neuromodulator body sliming ? Body and face sculpting with neuromodulator is a non-surgical and minimally invasive option for body contouring, designed to slim face and elongate both the shoulders and lower legs. Tailored to slim the facial profile and achieve a lengthened appearance in the shoulders and lower legs, this procedure enhances overall body aesthetics without the need for surgery. Who is a good candidate? Who is NOT a good candidate? For those seeking a more feminine and attractive appearance, shoulder and neckline contouring can help achieve well-defined collarbones and a slim, contoured shoulder area. Those who are also interested in lower leg contouring are a good candidate. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking certain medications, or anyone with neurological conditions are not good candidates. How is the treatment done? Neuromodulator treatment for the trapezius is straightforward. Injections are given into the upper shoulder at 4-5 points on each side. Treatment will effectively relax and weaken overdeveloped trapezius muscles, reducing their volume. Sliming down the neck and shoulder line will in turn make the face appear smaller and can make the collarbones more visible and well defined. Botulinum toxin is injected into the calves, which then works to relax the muscles for a period of time, which will over some time, cause the area to shrink in size. The neuromodulator is injected into the gastrocnemius muscle (located down the backside of your leg, from your knee to your heel), either in the back or on the side muscles. The effects will result in a smoother calf, with a softened contoured appearance. Why do the procedure/benefits? Neuromodulator treatments can be used to recontour the neck and shoulder lines, reducing the size of trapezius muscles that may be out of proportion with the rest of the body. This approach can help create more feminine lines and achieve a more balanced appearance. Some women, due to genetics and or athletics are more likely to develop larger calf muscles from workouts or everyday activities. Therefore, neuromodulators can help create slimmer calf muscles. How long is recovery? What does it look like? (Bruising, swelling, etc.) No recovery time is needed. All Botox treatments have minimal to no downtime. You are able to resume daily activities after the treatment.
- Mons Pubis Liposuction at Wei Aesthetic Institute
The mons pubis is the area at the top of your groin, between the lower abdomen and genitalia. Women often gain some “puffiness” or fat in this area due to weight gain, pregnancy, or aging. Mons pubis liposuction, monsplasty, or a combination of both can remove the excess fat in this area. Mons Pubis Liposuction at Wei Aesthetic Institute Schedule Consultation Explore Gallery < Back Next > About the Procedure What is Mons Pubis? The mons pubis is the area at the top of your groin, between the lower abdomen and genitalia. Women often gain some “puffiness” or fat in this area due to weight gain, pregnancy, or aging. This hormone-dependent fat in this area is normally exercise and diet-resistant. It often appears to be bloated or sagging, which can cause problems when wearing tight-fitting clothing. The removal of excess fat from the mons pubis can be done with either liposuction, monsplasty, or a combination of both procedures. Mons Pubis Liposuction is a surgical procedure that eliminates excess fat under the skin in the mons pubis region. Liposuction can have great effects on patients with good skin elasticity. However, for patients with looser skin, it may make it even looser due to the deflation effect when fat is removed from the area. Monsplasty is often performed in combination with mons pubis liposuction because it removes the excess skin and fatty tissue as well. How is Mons Pubis Liposuction done? Anesthesia will be administered first. Then, a small incision will be made to access the fat with a thin tube called the cannula. Unwanted fat will be suctioned out through the cannula, then the incision will be closed with sutures. How long is recovery for Mons Pubis Liposuction? What does it look like? (Bruising, swelling, etc.) The recovery process is different for everyone. Patients may shower on the second day following surgery. For ideal results, patients should wear compression garments for approximately two weeks per doctor’s instructions. Best to avoid exercise and unnecessary strain on the incision site for the first two weeks post-op. Normal activity can be resumed around six weeks. It is normal for the treatment area to feel tender or bruised initially. Swelling may follow as well, so patients should wear compression garments to reduce swelling. Who is a good candidate for Mons Pubis Liposuction? Women who have always felt self-conscious about the bulge in their upper pubic area, especially when wearing tight-fitting clothing, are great candidates for Mons Pubis Reduction surgeries. However, candidates must know that this procedure only changes the aesthetics and appearance of the area. It will not affect sexual functions, as there are other procedures for those purposes. Should be at a stable weight considered appropriate for their height Must meet certain health requirements; will review relevant medical records and prescription medication May need to take a couple of days off work for recovery What will the results look like? You may see final results after three to four months once post-procedure swelling has completely subsided. You will have a more uniform and aesthetic contour between the abdomen and the pubic bone. These results should be long-lasting as long as you don’t have any significant weight fluctuations or go through pregnancy. How often do you have to follow up? After the initial post-op follow-ups with the doctor, patients should follow healthy exercise and diet for ideal long-lasting results.
- FoLix, the FDA-Cleared Laser for Hair Loss is now at Wei Aesthetics!
FoLix is the first FDA-cleared fractional laser treatment specifically designed to combat hair loss. Made by Lumenis®, this revolutionary system uses advanced technology to stimulate your body's natural healing processes to provide exceptional results without surgery, chemicals, or downtime. FoLix, the FDA-Cleared Laser for Hair Loss is now at Wei Aesthetics! Schedule Consultation Explore Gallery < Back Next > About the Treatment RESERVE A SPOT NOW Causes of hair loss Understanding hair loss is essential for finding the right treatment and restoring confidence. Hair loss can result from genetics, hormonal changes, stress, medical conditions, or poor hair care habits. Recognizing the early signs—such as thinning, receding hairlines, or excessive shedding—can help you take proactive steps. What is FoLix? FoLix is the first FDA-cleared fractional laser treatment specifically designed to combat hair loss for men and women. It fits seamlessly into anyone’s lifestyle. Non-surgical, no chemicals, minimal discomfort, quick treatments, no needles, no downtime, with clinically proven results! Who is a good candidate for FoLix? FoLix is an excellent hair restoration choice for individuals with thinning hair or hair loss, when the hair follicle is still in good condition and when it can be stimulated into its natural growth phase. FoLix can be an effective treatment for androgenic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness. It may also be used to treat other forms of hair loss, such as alopecia areata or telogen effluvium, a common problem that affects postpartum moms. Even for those who are looking to increase their hair density or to maintain their hair volume, FoLix is a great option to prevent ongoing hair loss and, ultimately, improve one's confidence. Who is not a candidate for FoLix? Although the majority of individuals are candidates for FoLix treatment, individuals with an active infection or recent sunburn of their scalp should not undergo FoLix treatment until these problems are resolved. What are the benefits of FoLix? FoLix helps stimulate natural hair regrowth, decrease hair loss, and increase hair density and thickness. It can also be used to treat hair loss and promote hair growth. Clinical studies show 10-18% increase in number of hairs per cm2 and 13-16% additional follicular units per cm2. How is the treatment done? After a full assessment with our provider, your scalp will be cleaned and areas to be treated will be marked. The FoLix laser will be applied to the scalp to deliver gentle microbeams of laser light to stimulate hair growth. Through promoting blood circulation and growth factors activity, the hair follicles will be activated. Coupled with a built-in cooling mechanism on the device tip, the FoLix treatment is designed to minimize any discomfort. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, but individual treatments vary based on the size of area to be treated. How long to see results? How many treatments are needed? You may start seeing results after just the first treatment. However, to achieve optimal and long lasting results, a series of treatment is required. Typically, a series of 4-6 treatments spaced several weeks apart is recommended for desirable results. The number of treatments required will depend on the severity of the hair loss and the individual's response to the treatment. Hair does grow slowly and, therefore, results take time. Results noticed throughout the treatment series may include reduced shedding and appearance of baby hairs. How long is recovery? Good news! Unlike surgical hair restoration, FoLix is non-surgical and there is zero downtime with no bleeding or bruising. The experience is often described as a warm prickling sensation that lasts for a couple of hours after each session. Mild redness and swelling can be transiently seen in some individuals. You may pretty much return to your daily routine afterwards. To protect your scalp after the treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure and hair treatments, such as dyes, perms, extensions (although you won't be needing these anymore!) for one week. How do I keep up the results? After the full series of the FoLix treatment, it is recommended to maintain your results with ongoing treatment every 3-4 months. Hair loss and thinning is part of the aging process and can be affected by a number of factors, specifically genetics, hormone balance, medication, nutritional status, stress and environmental exposure. In addition to FoLix, optimizing the overall health of the individual and their scalp is key to maintaining a full set of beautiful hair. Before & After Results: Men Before & After Results: Women
- AVIVA Scarless Labiaplasty

The AVIVA Femtite Scarless Labiaplasty is the only minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure that can restore the intimate appearance and reduce symptoms by shrinking the length of the labia minora. Who is a good candidate for AVIVA? This procedure is a great option for patients who are considering labiaplasty, but prefer non-surgical alternative options. The procedure helps candidates who experience discomfort when wearing tight clothing, having sexual relations, playing sports or even just exercising. It could also simply just help with the aesthetics, by removing the bulge that may be present from excess skin. Who is NOT a good candidate for AVIVA?

- Thermiva Radiofrequency
As women get older and levels of estrogen decline, they experience unexpected vaginal changes that cause health problems and affect their sex life. ThermiVa® offers a gentle and effective solution – without surgery or downtime. It is a great vaginal rejuvenation option for patients with vaginal atrophy.Thermiva Thermiva Radiofrequency Schedule Consultation < Back Next > About the Procedure What is vaginal atrophy? Vaginal atrophy develops when estrogen levels go down. Estrogen is essential for vaginal health – it keeps tissues lining the vagina elastic and maintains adequate blood flow and lubrication. When your ovaries stop producing estrogen at menopause – or when estrogen levels decline for any health reason – vaginal walls become dry, lose elasticity, and thin out. It is estimated that half of all women develop vaginal atrophy after menopause. These changes cause symptoms that affect personal and sexual health such as: Vaginal dryness Painful intercourse Vaginal burning Genital itching Pain or burning during urination Urinary incontinence What should you expect during a ThermiVa treatment? One treatment with ThermiVa takes about 30 minutes or less. Radiofrequency therapy is gentle and well tolerated, so you won’t need anesthesia. ThermiVa automatically monitors tissue temperature and radiofrequency emission to keep the procedure safe and comfortable. How does ThermiVa treat vaginal atrophy? ThermiVa uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to treat tissues inside the vagina. A specially designed applicator is inserted into your vagina, where it sends out RF waves that penetrate the vaginal lining. Gentle heat created by RF energy triggers a response that rejuvenates tissues in the vagina. The existing collagen contracts to create an automatic tightening effect. More importantly, the heat is controlled to reach a therapeutic temperature that activates the synthesis of new collagen and increases blood flow. As tissues are regenerated, vaginal health returns. The tone and texture of the vaginal lining improve, vaginal walls tighten, and you gain relief from symptoms caused by vaginal atrophy. RF treatment may also improve mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence. When will you notice the results? It takes a little time for new collagen to develop and for the blood supply to improve. These changes continue for about six months after your treatment, so you’ll see ongoing, gradual improvement in vaginal health. Healing time and the number of treatments you may need to achieve optimal results vary with each person. How long is recovery? ThermiVa requires no downtime and recovery. How often do you have to follow up and/or maintenance? A session is normally 3 treatments in one-month intervals. Touch-ups should be done every 9-12 months. < Back Next >
- Vaginoplasty at Wei Aesthetic Institute
Vaginoplasty is a vaginal rejuvenation surgical procedure designed to tighten and reconstruct the vaginal canal. It addresses concerns such as vaginal laxity, enhancing muscle tone and restoring the structure, often contributing to improved sexual satisfaction and overall well-being. Vaginoplasty at Wei Aesthetic Institute Schedule Consultation Explore Gallery < Back Next > About the Procedure What is Vaginoplasty? Surgical vaginoplasty or vaginal rejuvenation (also known as posterior colporrhaphy) is the surgical procedure which tightens the muscles inside the vaginal canal. Vaginal rejuvenation is not a cosmetic procedure, it is a reconstructive surgery meant to increase vaginal tightness and increase sensitivity. Who is a good candidate for Vaginoplasty? Vaginal rejuvenation surgery is performed when a woman experiences vaginal laxity and a lack of friction. Vaginal laxity can be caused by vaginal childbirth, multiple pregnancies, heavy lifting, or excess weight putting pressure on the pelvic floor muscles and support tissues. Vaginoplasty surgery re-tightens the muscles and is recommended when a candidate is experiencing significant vaginal laxity that cannot be treated by alternative non-surgical treatments, or for those looking for more permanent results. Why do the procedure? Vaginal laxity may result in stretching tissue, to the point where sometimes tampons may fall out. It can also affect sexual pleasure. Vaginoplasty is also used to correct congenital defects of the vagina and acquired deformities due to cancers, tumors, or trauma Is tightening the vaginal opening the same as vaginal rejuvenation? No, tightening of the vaginal opening is called a perineoplasty and this procedure by itself will not create more internal friction. To obtain real results the surgeon will have to tighten more than just the opening of the vagina. How is the vaginoplasty procedure done? This procedure is done either in the office or at a surgery center with Dr. Judy Wei. Once the amount of tightening to be done is determined, a pie-shape wedge is marked to delineate the extra skin to be removed from inside the vagina. Beneath the skin, the tissues are tightened with strong sutures. Once the vaginal canal has been tightened, the mucosal skin is sutured closed. If there is external skin that protrudes, this can be reduced as well for a more aesthetic result. How long is recovery? For the first week, you should just relax, you may walk around and drive but must avoid all lifting, exercise, intercourse, vacuuming, and swimming. The risks of not following the doctor's recovery orders may include bleeding, infection, and broken sutures, leading to an unsuccessful surgery. Please follow directions, a revision surgery will only prolong the recovery process. Do not insert anything into the vagina! No Tampons and no sex for 7 to 8 weeks. Dr. Wei will discuss all recovery medications and activities with you in detail after your surgery. Most patients can resume all daily activities within 8 weeks. What does recovery look like? Patients may feel a deep itch for the first few days. It is also normal to have vaginal discharge and urine leakage in the first few weeks after surgery. It will be normal for urine to spray, rather than flow until the swelling around the urethra goes down. Depending on the amount of tightening performed, some patients may be instructed to use dilators and clean the vagina using a douche. How often do you have to follow up/maintenance? No maintenance is necessary. This procedure provides you with permanent results. The only maintenance necessary will be your post operation appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing. These scheduled appointments will be discussed with you during your preoperative consultation. How long will it take to notice results? Patients will notice results once cleared by their surgeon after the initial downtime of 6-8 weeks post surgery. However, there may be tenderness, swelling and many other factors that may influence post-op results. Full healing of the surgery site and settlement into its new permanent state may take from 6 months to 1 year after the surgery. How to choose a vaginoplasty surgeon? Gynecologists and Urogynecologists perform vaginal tightening surgeries. Choose a vaginoplasty surgeon with experience and the proper training. Request to see before and after photos during your consultation and request to speak with (if possible / privacy laws) and or read patient testimonials. Dr. Judy Wei is a fellowship trained board certified OB/GYN and she completed Dr. Alinsod’s aesthetic vulvovaginal one-on-one surgical precept.

Who is a good candidate for Renuvion? It is important to note, however, that Renuvion is not a weight loss procedure and is best suited for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have loose or sagging skin that they would like to tighten and improve.

Long-Lasting: Many experience sustained improvements in skin tightness. What should I expect during the Renuvion procedure? During the procedure, a small incision is made in the treatment area, and a thin cannula (tube) is inserted beneath the skin. The cannula delivers a precise combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to the treatment area, which causes the underlying tissues to contract and tighten. This process also stimulates collagen production, which helps to further tighten and firm the skin over time. Renuvion skin tightening can be used to treat a variety of areas, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days after the procedure. How long is recovery?

Pain medication may also be prescribed to help manage any discomfort. Most patients are able to return to work and their normal activities within a week after the procedure, but it may take up to several weeks for the swelling and bruising to completely subside. It is important to avoid strenuous exercise or activities for several weeks after the procedure to allow the treated area to fully heal. As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Wei to ensure a safe and smooth recovery.

- Sculptra | Wei Aesthetics
Sculptra Schedule Consultation Explore Gallery < Back Next > About the Treatment It is possible to naturally boost the skin's collagen production to combat the signs of aging, and Sculptra® Aesthetic is the only FDA-approved facial injectable treatment that does just that. By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra subtly and gradually adds volume that lifts the soft tissues and plumps the skin from within, improving the look of smile lines, marionette lines, pre-auricular wrinkles, radial cheek folds, and chin wrinkles. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which work immediately to fill in lines and wrinkles, Sculptra is made from Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which stimulates the skin's own natural collagen production over time. What is Sculptra? Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that contains poly-L-lactic acid. It's primarily used for facial volume restoration and stimulating collagen production to improve skin elasticity. Who is a good candidate? Who is NOT a candidate? Good Candidates: Individuals seeking to address volume loss, particularly in the mid-face area, and those looking for a gradual and natural-looking improvement. Not Candidates: Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with a history of keloid formation, or individuals with active skin infections at the injection site. What kind of conditions does it treat? Sculptra is commonly used to treat facial volume loss, hollow cheeks, and sagging skin. It is not designed for fine lines and wrinkles but focuses on overall facial rejuvenation. How is the treatment done? Sculptra is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The treatment typically involves multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart to achieve gradual and long-lasting results. How long to see results? Results are not immediate. It takes a few weeks for the poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate collagen production. The typical treatment regimen consists of three injections over three to four months, and results appear gradually over a period of a few months, lasting more than two years. Why do the procedure/benefits? Sculptra provides a non-surgical option for restoring facial volume, addressing sagging skin, and stimulating collagen production. It offers a gradual and natural-looking enhancement. Sculptra may be a good choice for those who lack the structure, support, and volume in their face that's necessary for fillers to make a desired difference in their appearance. How long is recovery? What does it look like? (Bruising, swelling, etc.) Recovery is minimal. Some swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, but these are generally mild and temporary. Patients can usually resume normal activities shortly after treatment. How often do you have to follow up/maintenance? Maintenance sessions are typically recommended to prolong results. On average, a series of three treatment sessions over the course of a few months may be needed, with results continuing to improve through the 9th month.
- PDO Thread Lift
PDO facial threading is an effective way to lift and tighten sagging skin without the need for a surgical procedure. PDO threads sculpt a more defined silhouette, reduce facial roundness, improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and can rejuvenate nearly any area of the body. PDO Thread Lift Schedule Consultation Explore Gallery < Back Next > About the Treatment PDO facial threading is an effective way to lift and tighten sagging skin without the need for a surgical procedure. This minimally invasive treatment can rejuvenate nearly any area of the body using tiny surgical threads made of Polydioxanone, a thread with a well-documented safety record in surgery and wound closure. During treatment, these threads are inserted into the skin using a micro-needle, tightening and lifting it while stimulating the body’s natural processes of healing and rejuvenation. When used in the face, these PDO threads sculpt a more defined silhouette, reduce facial roundness, and improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. What is a thread lift? The non-surgical face lift threading is a minimally invasive alternative to a surgical facelift for tightening and lifting sagging skin around the face, neck and jawline. Facial threads are a synthetic and biocompatible suture that absorbs naturally into the body. They are similar to surgical sutures used to perform cardiac surgery. All sutures are FDA-approved and have proven to be one of the safest materials for use in aesthetic procedures. The skin will fully absorb threads within 4 to 6 months without forming scar tissue. PDO threads also helps to stimulate collagen growth adding firmness to the skin. Who is a good candidate? Who is NOT a good candidate? Good candidates are typically men and women in their 30's and above who have mild to moderate sagginess, wrinkles, and lines in the forehead, face, and/or neck. You may not be a candidate for this treatment if you are not near a healthy or ideal weight, you are too thin, or you have excessive loose skin. How is the treatment done? During the procedure, a preloaded needle is introduced into the skin, whether it's on the facial or body area. The injector then leaves the thread underneath the skin's surface upon needle removal. Your skin responds gently to these threads, initiating a self-repair process around the sutures. The threads can be strategically positioned to prompt collagen production in areas with volume loss or to address creases. Additionally, they can be positioned to lift and firm the skin, such as in the neck or brow regions. Over the subsequent 4-6 months, your skin gradually absorbs the threads without leaving any scar tissue behind. As the threads break down, your body stimulates collagen production, effectively assuming the threads' role. This results in effects that typically endure for around a year, and sometimes even up to 2 years. How long to see results? In about an hour after the procedure, your face will look instantly better with no scars and long lasting results. Why do the procedure? What are the benefits? It is more affordable than a surgical facelift, while still allowing patients to achieve results that can last for two full years. Benefits and results include redistributed facial volume, restored youthful appearance, corrected face drooping and smoothing aging skin. What does recovery look like? (Bruising, swelling, etc.) Unlike traditional facelift procedures, the thread face lift brings patients considerably less downtime and pain during both treatment and recovery. You may have some minor bruising and sometimes a face wrap is recommended to enhance the result, but the wrap is only for night time. How often do you have to follow up/maintenance? For the best PDO thread lift results, we recommend 3 treatments, spaced 1 month apart, followed by 1 maintenance treatment once or twice a year, thereafter.
