All of us dread taking time off from our jobs especially to take care of some cosmetic condition we have. Most of us put off taking care of cosmetic issues as long as we can and most of us are embarrassed to even acknowledge or discuss these issues.

There are several reasons for this including down time, costs, continuing visits, etc. Well, thats all in the past with the introduction of the Thermage Procedures by Dr. Lisa Zdinak, a trained molecular geneticist and cosmetic laser surgeon, with successful practices in Manhattan’s Upper East Side and in Palm Beach.

Thermage stimulates your body’s natural renewal of collagen, which creates subtle and natural results on the face and other problem areas. You can have tighter, smoother skin, softened wrinkles and lines and an overall a more youthful appearance. The procedures are FDA approved and only performed by certified physicians in your area. Best of all, you can turn back the clock on your skin without rearranging your life for complex procedures or long recoveries. So you can do something great for your skin in a single treatment on your schedule and quickly return to normal activities, looking and feeling fantastic.

THE BAD NEWS:
As we grow older, we all experience the breakdown of the collagen that provides structure to our face. This happens faster in some people than it does in others, however we all will experience this at some time. When this happens, we’ll begin to notice fine lines and wrinkles forming on our faces, around our eyes, nose, neck and other areas.

THE GOOD NEWS:
Today, the Thermage Facelift procedure has become the answer to many of these problems by stimulating the growth of new collagen. The popular procedure reduces wrinkles and renews facial contours and is achieved without any surgery, and very little downtime on the patients part. The most common benefits of using the Thermage Facelift procedure is achieving tighter skin and renewing your natural facial contouring. This procedure can smooth out wrinkles, leaving you with a more radiant and younger looking appearance. The Thermage Facelift procedure can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on how large of an area being treated. The Thermage Facelift procedure has been referred to as the “lunch hour facelift”, allowing the patient to return to work looking like a new person and feeling good inside also. Thermage is performed by trained and certified physicians in their medical offices. Check the Yellow Pages or go online to find the nearest Thermage physician to you.

A procedure called ‘Carbonxytherapy’ is showing great promise by softening stretch marks using increased blood flow to the stretch mark regions and allowing them to constrict and contract, thus blending them better with the surrounding healthy skin. Up until recently, most stretch marks were pretty much untreatable. But by injecting very small amounts of carbon dioxide gas just below the surface of the skin, the procedure tricks it into increasing blood circulation to the treated area. Carbonxytherapy is also being used with great success as a treatment for dark under eye circles, cellulite and stretch mark smoothing and removal.

For the last 2-3 years my wife has been talking and talking about getting some cosmetic work done on her face, around her eyes, her neck, and if there is enough money, maybe some work done on the old tummy section. I have made no comments, thinking that maybe she would forget about it or change her mind. Well, she isn’t going to change her mind and she certainly hasn’t forgotten about it yet. Since our anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks, I thought I would surprise her and give her the cosmetic work as part of my anniversary gift for her.

After I told her what I had in mind, she loved it and asked if I wanted to come with her to find the doctor or clinic, and basically check out a few to get a better idea of costs. WOW ! Have they come along way with cosmetic improvement procedures. I had no idea of the advances that have been made in recent years. We went to several plastic surgeons, got doctor referrals, and then a friend of my wife told her about the fairly new and very popular Thermage Procedures that are available now, and soaring in popularity throughout the country. And her friend referred us to Dr Lisa.

She ended up going to Dr. Lisa Zdinak at Precision Aesthetics New York and she and I are so happy with the results that were attained. We would recommend Dr Lisa and her staff to anyone.

Most Thermage Procedures take about 45 minutes for facial problems and up to an hour and a half for most other body areas. Of course this depends on the condition of the area, the location, treatment size, etc. These procedures are short and most procedures only require a single treatment, so it will not disrupt any modern lifestyle or your daily routine. No need for any ‘pre-procedures’ or any special care after the procedure. A temporary redness or minor swelling goes away after around 24 hours. General anesthesia is not required, but to make sure you are comfortable the doctor may offer light pain medications prior to treatment.
