SOME PROCEDURES
WE MIGHT SEE IN
THE NEAR FUTURE

by ANNE MOORE

Eyelash transplants
Using the “plug-and-sew” technique, it involves removing
30 to 40 hair follicles from the back of the scalp and sewing them one-by-one onto the eyelid. Costs around $3,000 per eye. “Does for the eyes what breast augmentation does for the figure,” said one surgeon in an article in the Cosmetic Surgery Answers magazine.

Mesotherapy
To melt away the fat in lower eyelids.

Focused ultrasound
For sculpting the body, including the leg and abdominal regions. Safe and effective for mild to minimal body contouring. It’s like liposuction without the suction.

Barbed and trumpet sutures
Used for facial rejuvenation without invasive surgery.

The band-aid miniface-lift
Performed in the office with only local anesthetic is designed to improve the jowls and jawline. You canalso get a “mini-neck procedure.” About half the price of a full face-lift for this walk in/walk out procedure.

ThermaFrax combined therapy
A combination of ThermaCool Thermage, which targets deep layers of skin with radio frequencies that heat up the layers, causing your body’s natural collagen source to rebuild itself. Fraxel laser beam is divided into thousands of microscopic treatment zones, each targeting a specific area of skin. These are heated, and healthy new cells fill in the damaged area. You can get face-lift results without surgery or incisions, without losing top layers of skin, without scabbing and without painful or unsightly recovery. ThermaFrax is safe, involving a series of about six treatments. Some results are immediate, but improvement continues over a period of about six months for optimal results from the gradual tightening of the skin and filling in of the lines and wrinkles.

Still on the drawing board
Neck resurfacing, laser hand tightening and injecting
your adul stem cells to restore the fullness of your youth.

Tattoos can be removed
Using a laser or other method. Permanent tattooing can be used to re-establish an areola area on the breast after cancer or other surgery of the breast.

Skin tone, blotchiness, coloration and so forth can add 10- 12 years to a woman’s perceived age. Fortunately, there are many skillful medical doctors doing amazing things with fabulous results. There are also many things to consider before signing up for some of them. Among them are the credentials and experience of the physicians, the safety of the procedure and the materials that are to be injected. Are they right for your particular needs and skin type?

With a little “buyer bewareness,” you’ll be pleased with the results in your own quest to be the best you that you can be.
