In comparison to other facial volume enhancement treatments, Juvederm and Restylane treatments have been considered the most efficacious anti-aging system offered to date. This has changed, however, since the latest filler treatment alternative, known as LaViv, was recently approved by FDA.
This new treatment, offered by Los Angeles dermatologist Dr. Daniel Behroozan, is the latest anti-wrinkle pharmaceutical therapy to challenge the efficacy Botox and Filler treatments. Many patients seeking natural facial rejuvenation in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica are now exploring LaViv as an advanced option.
Reason for its approval from FDA
One of the main reasons that the FDA approved the use of LaViv is that it provides scientifically proven results in combating the aging process. The major of this new treatment is that the patient’s OWN CELLS are used for restoring volume. In addition, after the cells are expanded in a laboratory, the patient then has a long lasting supply of cells for filling.

What is LaViv?
LaViv, offered by Dr. Daniel Behroozan, is a unique, individualized cellular treatment proven to enhance the overall look of your face. It is created specifically for each patient by using their own cells. First, Dr. Behroozan will remove a small amount of fibroblasts cells from behind the patient’s ear by performing a routine simple skin biopsy. The biopsy cells are then sent to a unique laboratory where the cells are cultured for about 90 days, developing into approximately 10,000 new cells. The eventual product is comprised of 98% fibroblasts, which are the cells responsible for producing collagen. After the product is sent back to Dr. Daniel Behroozan’s office, he will set up an appointment with you so he can fill your smile lines with the product. The cells will be injected during three individual sessions about every four weeks. This process is quite different than fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm which function by quickly and immediately adding volume to the area treated. The LaViv treatment, on the other hand, takes months to see the results as it takes time for your own cells to produce collagen. In return, this collagen production should be semi-permanent and long lasting once it occurs.
In return, this collagen production should be semi-permanent and long lasting once it occurs, making LaViv a highly sought-after treatment for long-lasting anti-aging results in Los Angeles.
Dr. Daniel Behroozan will take three small skin samples from behind the patient’s ear. These cells will then be cultured in the laboratory for 3 months to create your own unique LaViv serum. These cells will then be stored, giving Dr. Daniel Behroozan a long lasting supply of fibroblasts for injection as you get older.
You will be given three treatments, at 3 to 6 week intervals, as determined by Dr. Daniel Behroozan.
LaViv will be injected into the smile lines. Afterwards, you may apply a cold compress for 2 to 3 minutes at a time, if necessary. You should not rinse the treatment areas for at least 24 hours.
Do not apply any kind of product (such as skin cream, makeup, or sunscreen) to the treatment areas for a minimum of 72 hours after Dr. Daniel Behroozan has completed the treatment.
Be sure to keep your regularly scheduled LaViv appointments to ensure optimal results, especially for patients receiving LaViv treatment in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and greater Los Angeles.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is LaViv treatment?
LaViv is a unique, FDA-approved cellular treatment that uses your own fibroblast cells to restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles. It is a personalized approach to natural facial rejuvenation offered in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica.
2. How does LaViv differ from traditional fillers like Juvederm or Restylane?
Unlike traditional fillers that immediately add volume, LaViv uses your own cells to gradually produce collagen over time. This results in longer-lasting, natural-looking anti-aging effects rather than temporary plumping.
3. How is LaViv treatment performed?
Dr. Behroozan takes a small skin biopsy behind your ear, which is then cultured in a lab for about 90 days to create a serum of your fibroblast cells. The serum is injected into smile lines over three sessions spaced 3–6 weeks apart.
4. What are fibroblast cells and why are they important?
Fibroblasts are cells responsible for producing collagen, the protein that maintains skin elasticity and volume. LaViv uses cultured fibroblasts from your own body to naturally restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles.
5. How long does it take to see results from LaViv?
Unlike conventional fillers, LaViv results develop gradually. Most patients begin to notice improvements in collagen production and wrinkle reduction within several weeks to months following the three treatment sessions.
6. How long do LaViv results last?
Because LaViv stimulates your own collagen production, the results are semi-permanent and long-lasting. Many patients in Los Angeles enjoy rejuvenated facial contours for years with proper maintenance.
7. Is LaViv safe?
Yes. LaViv is FDA-approved and uses your own cells, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or adverse events. Treatments are performed by Dr. Daniel Behroozan, a board-certified dermatologist, ensuring the highest safety standards.
8. How many sessions are required for optimal results?
Typically, three injection sessions are recommended at intervals of 3–6 weeks. This schedule allows the fibroblast cells to produce collagen gradually for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.
9. Is LaViv treatment painful?
Discomfort is minimal. A local anesthetic is used during the biopsy and injection process to ensure patient comfort. Most patients report only mild irritation or sensitivity in the treated areas.
10. Are there any side effects of LaViv?
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including slight redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare, especially when performed by an experienced dermatologist.
11. What areas of the face can LaViv treat?
LaViv is primarily used for smile lines and moderate facial wrinkles. Its collagen-stimulating effects also improve overall skin texture and firmness, creating a naturally youthful appearance.
12. How should I care for my skin after LaViv treatment?
Patients should avoid rinsing the treated areas for at least 24 hours and refrain from applying creams, makeup, or sunscreen for 72 hours. Following these instructions ensures optimal cellular integration and collagen production.
13. Can LaViv be combined with other treatments?
Yes. LaViv can complement other non-invasive treatments like Botox or dermal fillers for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan. Dr. Behroozan tailors combination treatments based on individual aesthetic goals.
14. Who is a good candidate for LaViv?
Ideal candidates are adults seeking natural facial rejuvenation using their own cells, with moderate wrinkles or volume loss. Patients should be in good health and looking for a long-lasting, non-surgical anti-aging solution.
