Cryotherapy
Medical Weight Loss
Gravity, lifestyle choices, genetic predisposition, or other factors can each lead to stubborn fat beneath the chin that persists even with a healthy diet and plenty of exercise. CoolSculpting has become a popular choice for patients with these issues because it is an alternative to surgery that is convenient and requires little- to- no downtime. CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss procedure, but it is FDA-cleared to treat visible fat bulges in many areas. Each patient interested in CoolSculpting receives a complete, personalized, physician-led consultation to determine if it is the best way to treat their concerns. We encourage you to schedule a consultation with us if you think CoolSculpting is right for you.

Internal Medicine
Before dermatology, I completed an internal medicine residency and Board Certification. I discovered that I enjoyed procedures most of all, which led me to a fellowship position in clinical dermatology research,followed by the 3-year dermatology residency and Board Certification. Additionally, I’ve always been creative and have always loved art, traits that run in my family. In fact, I’m the only physician, but my siblings and children are all very creative in both visual arts and music.

Anxiety

Ultrasound
Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, Ultherapy works from the inside-out to lift and tighten skin non-invasively. Using ultrasound energy, Ultherapy targets deep layers (down to 4.5 mm) underneath the skin’s surface and uses the right temperature to stimulate the growth of fresh, new collagen and elastin, which results in firmer skin and fewer wrinkles.
MRI
Even if you work out regularly, you may not be able to achieve the muscle definition that you desire. Reshape, re-contour, and redefine your body with EmSculpt®, the first FDA-approved non-surgical muscle toning and building device that used electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscles. This completely non-invasive treatment requires no downtime and provides noticeable body-sculpting results, including a more defined “6-pack” when used on the abdomen and a buttock lift when used on the buttocks. The Emsculpt® procedure is also FDA cleared to treat arms, calves, and thighs. Increased muscle mass is visible on MRI imaging as demonstrated in clinical trials. Whether you hit the gym regularly or not, Emsculpt® can take your body to the next level.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Dr. West offers Botox & Dysport for non-surgical facial rejuvenation in Chevy Chase, MD and Aspen, CO. Aging is a part of life, but some wrinkles and frown lines are not just caused by age. Wrinkles can form from repeated facial expressions due to muscle contractions, which means that wrinkles can develop even in young adults. When it’ time for you to smooth the look of your moderate to severe lines, treatment with Botox® or Dysport® might be the answer to help soften those lines for natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Liposuction
Diet and exercise are important to a healthy lifestyle, and key to maintaining a fit, toned body. Pockets of unwanted fat can develop despite your best efforts, due to genetic predisposition or redistribution of body fat that occurs with aging. When traditional approaches fall short in helping you reach your aesthetic goals, liposuction may provide the solution you are looking for.
Plastic Surgery
A “non-surgical facelift “ aims to provide results similar to a surgical facelift— only without any incisions, stitches, anesthesia, prolonged downtime, or other downsides of plastic surgery. Dr. West uses several injectables to create these subtle and powerful anti-aging effects.
Face Lift
Aging is a normal part of life which is why Dr. West offers her patients the non-surgical facelift in Chevy Chase, MD and Aspen, CO. While it can be concerning and even frustrating to see the signs of aging begin to appear, there is now a great solution to turn back the clock on facial aging! In as little as one convenient appointment, you can regain the facial contours and confidence of your youth.

Body Contouring
Dr. Tina West, Board-Certified Dermatologist and founder of The West Institute in Chevy Chase, MD, specializes in body contouring treatments custom-tailored to your aesthetic goals and needs. Read on to learn more about the treatments offered at our Body Contouring Center.
Laser Resurfacing
2 laser resurfacing uses a specific wavelength of laser energy to selectively vaporize water in skin cells, which stimulates your body to repair damaged skin and produce new collagen and blood vessels. This treatment is the gold standard for treating dark undereye circles and undereye skin with fine wrinkles or a crepey texture. Dr. West will meet with you to identify if this treatment is best to meet your needs and goals.
Moles
Dermabrasion
Treatment of atrophic acne scars has been limited to the use of such traditional treatments as dermabrasion and chemical peels for many years. Recently, the addition of high-energy, pulsed carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers to the treatment armentarium has created renewed enthusiasm for cutaneous resurfacing due to their ability to create specific thermal injury with limited side effects.

Cosmetic Dermatology
Dr. Tina West, founder of The West Institute, is a board-certified Dermatologist and leading expert in cosmetic dermatology. Dr. West can treat common skin conditions like redness and rosacea and acne and acne scars. As a leading expert in non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures for facial rejuvenation and maintenance, Dr. West offers skin tightening treatments and diminish fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin Cancer
No matter what age you are, dull, lackluster skin can make you feel less attractive. Over time, facial skin can change naturally due to unavoidable factors like genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental elements such as sun exposure and pollution. However, the effects of these outside influences don’t have to be detrimental to your appearance. The earlier you start taking care of your skin, the sooner you can restore the smooth, even toned skin you started out with. And it’s not just cosmetic... resurfacing procedures reverse sun damage and lower your risk of developing skin cancer. Even glowing skin is also healthy skin.
Dermatology
Dr. Tina West offers dermatology services in Aspen, CO, part-time at Aspen Luxe Med Spa. Patients seeking a dermatologist in Aspen can now schedule consultations and treatments with Dr. West on certain days of the month.
Acne Treatment
This acne facial is tailored specifically for acne prone skin with active breakouts. Deep cleansing, extractions, a chemical peel tailored to each individual skin type, a calming anti-inflammatory mask, and a LightStim infrared LED treatment are all included in this results-oriented acne treatment.
Frostbite
Leaving ice packs on your skin for too long is dangerous because the temperature cannot be monitored, which means you can increase your risk of frostbite. Additionally, an ice pack absorbs body heat too quickly to maintain a steady temperature for an extended period. At home, you also won’t have access to the suction mechanism that draws the tissue below the skin between the CoolSculpting panels, nor will you get the benefits of mechanical massage to break up more fat cells afterward.
Eczema
Lesions
A broad spectrum of light is transmitted with the IPL handpiece through a small, smooth, transparent lightguide which is gently placed over your skin. The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by either hemoglobin (when treating vascular/red lesions) or melanin (when treating pigmented/brown lesions). IPL is considered a “no downtime” procedure, which is why it became the gold standard treatment shortly after it was introduced, largely replacing medium depth chemical peels which have significant downtime. An IPL treatment can also be combined with Fraxel® Dual or Clear+Brilliant® laser treatments on the same day for amplified results to
Chemical Peels
This medical grade facial is tailored for anti-aging and hydration, leaving the skin glowing and plumped up. Deep cleansing, extractions, a light chemical peel, a calming mask, massage, a vitamin C brightening treatment, an oxygen treatment and our LightStim LED leave the skin red carpet ready.
Skin Care
Following a series of 2-3 treatment sessions, results are maintained with a customized home skin care regimen consisting of proprietary medical grade skin care products.
Microdermabrasion
This anti-aging Medical Facial is tailored specifically for men. Deep cleansing, extractions, chemical peeling or microdermabrasion, an oxygen treatment and LightStim® LED therapy leave the skin retexturized while hydrating and improving the appearance of fine lines and pores.
