One of our patients took Aesthetic Surgical Arts gear with her on a recent trip to the Himalayas! Not only did she bring back some of the beautiful pictures taken on her travels, she returned with some interesting candy, popular with the locals. Dr. Hunts, as well as many of us in the office, enjoy traveling and we appreciate our patients and sharing in their adventures!
 
Our nurses, Jennifer and Jessica, land in Chicago for a Cutera Laser training but of course still fit in time for some shopping! Dr. Hunts encourages all staff to seek out continuing education and training to keep well informed with the new techniques and technologies to better serve our patients and clients.
 

(Extended S-Lift w/ Liposuction and Endoscopic Brow Lift)

  
Facial Rejuvenation
By combining cosmetic surgery procedures, depending on areas of concern, an overall facial rejuvenation can be achieved. Having a heavy brow can make you appear tired and skin laxity in the lower face and neck area can cause jowling, making you appear older and worn-down. In this specific case an endoscopic brow lift helped to elevate the eyebrows, eyelids, and even the cheek area to help create a more natural and bright-eyed appearance. The extended s-lift with liposuction helped give a lift to the patient's lower face and neck, alleviating the jowls and smoothing the neck area giving a more youthful overall appearance. No visible incisions are necessary with either procedure. Downtime is minimal, usually about a week. Make an appointment with Dr. Hunts and see what facial rejuvenation procedures would be best suited to achieve your goals!

PHLORETIN CF ™

 
Phloretin CF, derived from the bark of fruit trees, is a broad-spectrum treatment that represents a new level in preventative and corrective topical antioxidant treatments. Not only does Phloretin CF protect against free radicals, it also protects against the range of other reactive molecules known to cause damage and DNA mutations which can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. While protecting, it also corrects the existing damage by stimulating the combination of essential proteins and fibers, accelerating cell turnover. This leads to healthier, stronger, firmer and more visibly radiant skin in as early as 4 weeks and it's as easy as applying 4-5 drops to a dry face, neck, and chest in the morning after cleansing. Afterward be sure to apply your moisturizer and of course broad-spectrum sunscreen for optimal results. Call and set up an appointment with Cheryl, our medical aesthetician, if you have questions or would like to have a personalized skin care regimen set up for you.

When the nurse places the hand-piece on your skin it will feel cool and comfortable. You may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation when the actual pulse of light is delivered. With these treatments there is no need for topical anesthetics or gel prior to a session and results can be realized in just one or two treatments. Virtually any part of your body with sun/age spots or freckles can be treated safely. Some of the most popular areas are the face and neck, chest, and the back of the hands. Immediately following the treatment, spots may start to darken and you may notice a slight reddening of the surrounding skin. Over the course of the next one to three weeks, darkened spots will fade and flake off. The Xeo specifically address the removal of sun spots and age spots where the LP560 treats skin redness, brown spots and sun damage. It is important to wear a broad spectrum sunscreen and avoid sun exposure during the healing period. Consult with the nurse prior to treatment to find out which option would be best to address your specific concerns.
