What happens after liposuction, or a non-invasive fat reduction technique

If you gain weight?

I was hosting a Toronto based workshop on Non-invasive fat reduction and cellulite improvement (see photos Invasix workshop May 16th, 2012) and this question, as it often does, came up.  When you have had any form of liposcution, Smartlipo (laser assisted Lipolysis), Bodytite (Radiofrequency assited Lipolysis) or VaserLipo (Ultrasound assisted Lipoylsis) the fat…

Visited Los Angeles recently to teach a workshop on the latest fractional radio frequency facial rejuvenation and facial volumization.  Of tremendous interest was the new "blunt microcannula's" tiny little blunt needles used to inject juvederm, restylane, perlane, Radiesse and Sculptra.  The Microcannula technique I teach means little to no bruising (even lip augmentation) and back to work and social activities quickly.   For more, check out the the procedure video posted on this…

Was in Chicago recently, THE WINDY CITY, where is you have thinning hair the gusts of wind can create havoc !

Male and Female pattern hair loss (genetic thinning) is surprisingly common. Most patients think the only kind of hair transplantation involves a large scar placed at the back of the head and the results on top can look like "plugs"

However…..times they have changed with a technology called NEOGRAFT ! I have been teaching this revolutionary technique…

Suddenly I hear the talk in the office among my team that the summer is coming. Time to pull out those summer clothes; see what fits and what doesn't. Also, time to show a little more of what your winter coat was covering up. YIKES. What can we do to smooth out the bumps, slim down the curves and reduce that hair? A lot! In our industry we look at the total potential of each patient - how can we make this…

Hello Cellulazer !

Well join about 80 million North American women, where over 80% of adult females complain of cellulite and are looking for a solution!

We all know what cellulite looks like, that lumpy-bumpy “cottage cheese” or “orange peel” appearing skin. Most of the treatments to date have included over-the-counter creams, which are very temporary and minimal results at best. More medical treatment over the last 15 years have focused on topical laser, suction and…

Had a very fun an informative Television episode on Toronto's BT Live Eye. During the 4 segments I demonstrated the Facetite: a Non-excisional skin tightening device of the neck and jowls. The Facetite offers patients the best tightening results they can get without a facelift and the results can be very impressive..  I followed the FaceTite with a demonstration of the TiteFX, a non-surgical device that can reduce unwanted areas of fat permanently. 

The next segment features the new…

At SpaMedica we recently changed our Fotofacial program to an exciting new skin rejuvenation program called FractoraFacial, which has been delivering the best antiaging rejuvenation results SpaMedica has ever achieved. The program deploys the Fractora Fractional radiofrquency (RF) needle device to deliver a thermal stimulation to the deep areas of the skin to lessen wrinkles and improve texture. This is combined, on the same visit with a moving RF applicator, called the FIRM, that lifts and…

I have a large pratice that incorporates a medical spa into my surgical procedures.  I like the idea of maintaining your surgical results with non-surgical treatments.  I also think many of my patients enjoy the non-surgical options I can give them if they are not ready for surgery as a preventative action.  One common procedure in my clinic is sclerotherapy.  In fact, I have an entire leg vein program which incorporates the injections of sclerodex and of course, lasers.  The dual…

I was just in Boston this weekend, teaching an excited group of US plastic surgeons and dermatologists an exciting new laser,the Cellulaze.  Cellulaze is proving to provided a simple, one time treatment LONG TERM improvement for the appearance of cellulite. (see photo)

Cellulaze is performed under local anesthesia and involves putting a tiny fiber under the skin, directly into the cellulite, where a special high tech "side firing" laser beam can directly disrupt the cellulite tissue. …
