CAREERS & COSMETICS

DOES LOOKING BETTER REALLY HELP YOU GET THAT JOB? This is always a sensitive subject, especially in these economic times, but if you believe “the truth can set you free” (and I do) then this information should be helpful to many people.

If youth equals beauty – then beauty in turn equals money. People in the work force, and those trying to re-enter the career arena, are stampeding cosmetic clinics, like mine, for a host of procedures that will lift years off the face and neck.

Why is this happening during an economic downturn? Because they have to look good (younger) in order to compete in the job market place.  Here are the numbers:

  • 2009-2010…cosmetic procedures rose more than 5%
  • Facelifts for men were up 14% in 2010
  • Non-Invasive procedures rose more than 12%
  • England & Ireland (in spite of their economic woes) saw an increase among women having Botox® – by more than 50%
  • Career counselors are telling clients to:  spend at least as much $$ on looking good as they spent on perfecting their resume
  • Career counselors are saying it plainly – “Don’t look old.”

Ageism shouldn’t be an issue…but sadly it is!  That’s the bad news. The Good News is:  cosmetic procedures work very well & are here to stay.  There’s something for everyone –and age is not an issue in this arena.  You can look good at any age – in spite of your age.

I offer all the fast fixes – liquid facelifts, dermal fillers, BOTOX® and Dysport®.  For long lasting results with the most bang for your buck  – facelifts often combined with eye procedures really get the most desirable results by taking 5, 10 even 15 years off the face and neck and keeping you younger looking…always.

Starting younger and maintaining works the best…we’ve learned this from Hollywood celebrities, many of whom seem to be ageless!

You really can’t put a price on beauty-but you can put a price on age defying procedures.  Visit my website for complete info on what I do.

If you are being challenged in the workplace – or are starting over again – like so many are, I can help you look and feel more competitive.  Renewed self-confidence and enhanced self-esteem also result from looking great.

I help people put their best selves forward!

Let’s talk.

LIPOSUCTION – Today’s Advanced Method

Recently I talked about using your own fat (fat grafting) to replace youthful fat loss in the face, back of the hands, buttocks etc. Liposuction is part of that process, so this time I’ll update you on the benefits, who it’s for and how we do it.

Liposuction is also called body contouring, body sculpting, liposculpture and more. It can flatten a tummy and give you a waist….etc…and the fat can be used to “sculpt” other body areas!

Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic enhancement procedure, year after year, simply because it works. I recommend it to men and women who want to remove stubborn fat from the hips, buttocks, thighs, arms, abs etc, that has resisted diet and exercise.

WHO’S IT FOR? Liposuction is best suited for men and women who are at or near normal body weight and who can be committed to maintaining that weight.  For the right people, several areas can be treated/sculpted with desirable results.

OLD METHODS vs NEW METHODS

Old lipo methods involved aggressive movements, bleeding and bruising and often resulted in less than desirable outcomes.  Newer methods are gentle (reduced risk) reducing swelling, bleeding, incisions, recovery time, and they typically achieve wonderful results.  IN brief, today’s refined techniques and state of the art instruments make liposuction a safe, effective method to refine ones physique.  Recovery depends upon your own treatment plan but you can count on it being briefer than with older methods.

TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION … Saline solution is still used, but we now infuse the treatment area with lidocaine to reduce discomfort and epinephrine to constrict blood vessels.  Tumescent lipo is still considered the best techniques to date.  I discuss the procedure and instruments in detail during the personal consultation.

End of summer is upon us and you will be getting ready for fall and winter holidays, school events, etc, etc.  It’s easy to get “out of shape” with all the summer picnics, smores, and parties…I can get you back into shape quickly.

I believe every cosmetic procedure should be reliable and achieve natural looking results. Liposuction does just that.
