Non Invasive Cosmetics

Patients prefer less invasive and more natural cosmetic treatments for their face and bodies for fat loss skin tightening, and stretch marks.

Less invasive and minimally invasive treatments grow at Precision Aesthetics 2014, with natural treatments for body shaping, fat loss and stretch marks leading the way.[ic_prweb keyword=”exilis”][ic_twittify ][/ic_twittify][ic_yahoo_answers keyword=”thermage”]

Over the past 12 years many of the new treatments that have evolved are more natural, completely natural or use the bodies own resources to create the desired result. Look at Thermage for example. You can go for surgery, a facelift, the popular mini face-lift or liposuction for fat or loose skin on your face or body. But if you look at the before and after pictures of non-surgical procedures like Thermage you will see similar results to surgical procedures. It is even more apparent comparing to the popular mini face-lift and for patients that are not in need of dramatic revision. There are terrific results for the face and every single part of the body. In addition the worst outcome from Thermage, Exilis or any other minimally invasive procedure is that a person doesn’t achieve as much of a result as they might be expecting. But even that should be rare if they were given proper expectations at their consult. Surgically, there is the possibility of scarring which could be extensive, lumpiness and loose skin after liposuction and worse. In fact Exilis is being used more and more to help with lumpiness after liposuction.

Let’s take a look at what the patients are gravitating towards. Every article and magazine will tell you that nonsurgical procedures are the fastest growing segment. Within this category there are minimal invasive and even what anyone would have to admit are natural treatments. Younger patients are requesting PRP short for proteinprotein rich plasma or the so-called Dracula facelift over Botox for wrinkles that are just beginning. Using the growth factors from your own blood versus the most powerful neurotoxin on the planet is a pretty clear example of a purely natural solution. The growth factors literally repair wrinkles vs. paralyzing a muscle with Botox. PRP (the bodies own protein rich plasma) is also used for overall facial rejuvenation and sometimes instead of Restyling and other fillers. Carboxytherapy is another example of using the body naturally, every single cell in our bodies take in Oxygen and excrete Carbon Dioxide. That principle is utilized to increase circulation with minute injections of carbon dioxide to improve cellulite, stretch marks and dark under eye circles. The list goes on and on. Cryotherapy facials increase circulation to the face. Another fascinating discovery was acoustic wave therapy, which was originally used for physical therapy to speed recovery of the muscles. The acoustic wave stimulates the muscle to repair more quickly. Apparently the side effect was that deep stimulation improved cellulite, which was ironically discovered by female athletes after doing physical therapy. They reported an improvement of their cellulite. Dr Zdinak and Precision Aesthetics were contacted by a major manufacture to further investigate this phenomena and the rest is history. Finally we are seeing cold lasers come of age led by Illumiwave for hair growth, acne, and fat loss. Cold lasers are much less invasive than hot lasers. As the name implies they are literally cold or don’t even produce any heat but still stimulate our cells in various ways.

The fact that patients are choosing minimally invasive more natural safer treatments is a great trend that will only continue to grow. Dr Lisa Zdinak, Chief Surgeon and Medical director of Precision Aesthetics has spent years bringing no less than 12 new technologies and products from various countries to the United States for her patients. She has put aside surgery to spend more time to research and bring the best natural and minimally invasive solutions for her patients. She is on the forefront of technologies like personal creams utilizing patient’s own growth factors and other cutting edge technologies we will be hearing more about in the future.[ic_youtube keyword=”dr212renew”]

FDA Approves BOTOX® for Temporary Improvement of Crow’s Feet

September 11, 2013 02:54 PM Eastern Daylight Time
IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Allergan, Inc., (NYSE: AGN) today announced approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA), for an additional indication to temporarily treat moderate to severe lateral canthal lines, commonly known as “crow’s feet” lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic is the first and only product of its kind approved for this indication. BOTOX® Cosmetic, approved in the United States in 2002 for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines between the brows) for patients aged 18 to 65 years, remains the number-one minimally invasive aesthetic medical treatment globally.

“Allergan has remained the leader in the facial aesthetic industry by prioritizing research and development that provides physicians and patients with innovative treatments and fully explores the additional indications for our product portfolio,” said Scott W. Whitcup M.D., Executive Vice President, Research and Development, Chief Scientific Officer, Allergan. “We are pleased that the FDA has approved a new indication for BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily improve the appearance of crow’s feet lines. With this approval, BOTOX® Cosmetic is now the only pharmaceutical approved to treat both crow’s feet lines and frown lines between brows. This approval will enhance our ability to work with and train aesthetic physicians on the science of administering BOTOX® Cosmetic to yield the best possible outcomes for patients.”

The safety and efficacy of BOTOX® Cosmetic as a treatment for crow’s feet lines was demonstrated in two randomized, multi-center, placebo-controlled clinical trials. The studies enrolled more than 1,350 subjects with 833 subjects receiving treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic. The trial demonstrated that BOTOX® Cosmetic was an effective treatment compared to the control group, which did not receive BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment.

“Crow’s feet lines are defined as the lines that extend around the corner of the eye area. They result from years of repetitive squinting and smiling,” said Dr. Steven Dayan, Founder of DeNova Research, Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois and a clinical investigator in the BOTOX® Cosmetic crow’s feet clinical trials. “I often see patients who are bothered by their crow’s feet lines, so I am very pleased that Allergan has conducted additional research to receive FDA approval of BOTOX® Cosmetic for this new indication. Based on the clinical evidence, I can now provide my patients with an FDA-approved option to address the crow’s feet lines that develop around the eyes.”

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medication that is injected into the muscles around the eye area to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe crow’s feet lines in adults. It is a quick procedure that generally requires no downtime or recovery. BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses and reducing movement to the muscles around the eye area. The decreased muscle activity helps lessen the appearance of moderate to severe crow’s feet lines for noticeable results that do not radically change facial appearance or make a patient look as if they have had “work done.”
BOTOX® Cosmetic should be administered by a licensed, trained healthcare professional. Since 2002, more than 11 million treatment sessions for glabellar lines have been performed with BOTOX® Cosmetic. BOTOX® Cosmetic is approved in more than 75 countries for facial aesthetic use.
