What Is ELIXIR MD™?
ELIXIR MD™ is a postoperative recovery system created to promote faster healing after cosmetic surgery. It combines advanced therapies, like lymphatic drainage and light therapy, to reduce swelling, speed up tissue regeneration, and make your recovery process more comfortable. The treatment is designed to minimize discomfort and complications related to infection during recovery while maximizing your aesthetic results. It uses photobiomodulation therapies emitted by a medical-grade device featuring curved panels to evenly penetrate the skin. ELIXIR MD™ is particularly beneficial after procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, facelift, and Mommy Makeover surgery.What Are the Benefits of ELIXIR MD™?

Dr. Paydar uses ELIXIR MD™ treatments before surgery, immediately after, and during recovery. The frequency and number of sessions will be determined by your individual needs.
How Is ELIXIR MD™ Performed?
Dr. Paydar utilizes ELIXIR MD™ both pre and postoperatively. Prior to your surgery, he uses the Detox™ treatment protocol, where blue light penetrates your skin for 20 minutes, targeting your sebaceous glands and initiating an antimicrobial response. This minimizes the risk of postoperative infection.
Detox™ utilizes blue light (417 nm) to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that destroy bacteria on your skin. The treatment eliminates surface bacterial cells and balances oil production in the sebaceous glands, resulting in cleaner and healthier skin before your surgery. By using Detox™ before your cosmetic surgery, the risk of infection and complications during recovery is greatly diminished.
Immediately after your surgery, Dr. Paydar uses the ELIXIR MD™ Cellular Repair™ protocol. The Cellular Repair™ treatment utilizes yellow light therapy (599 nm) to encourage your body’s natural repair processes and reduce inflammation. It also boosts lymphatic drainage by stimulating the muscle cells in lymphatic vessels to contract, which helps your body flush out excess fluids and waste that cause swelling while moving immune cells more effectively. You will see Dr. Paydar again during your recovery to undergo another Cellular Repair™ session to accelerate healing, prevent infection, and reduce inflammation, redness, bruising, swelling, and scarring.
Weeks after your surgery, Dr. Paydar uses the ELIXIR MD™ NeoxCell™ protocol. The NeoxCell™ treatment is a maintenance treatment after surgery to rejuvenate skin. It uses a combination of red (633 nm) and yellow (590 nm) light to reduce the postoperative fluid retention and support cellular repair with collagen production. The treatment penetrates the skin to stimulate fibroblasts, promoting collagen production for better elasticity and firmness. Other benefits include lymphatic drainage, prevention of pigmented lesions for a more uniform complexion, and softer, lighter scarring.
What Is Recovery Like After ELIXIR MD™?
There is no recovery period after ELIXIR MD™, as it is designed to augment the healing process following a cosmetic procedure, not add to it. After your ELIXIR MD™ session, you will likely feel better and more mobile, and notice reduced swelling and less tightness. Multiple treatments during your recovery will provide the best results, and Dr. Paydar will tailor the number of sessions to your specific surgery and healing requirements.
