We are going to have our first lunchtime seminar which is highlighting a new treatment for stretch marks. If I had a nickel for every person that has asked me for a treatment for stretchmarks…..well I think this is the best treatment on the market today. The Smartskin Fractional CO2 laser makes tiny dots of injury to the scar tissue in the stretch mark and then the skin heals with new good collagen that replaces the damaged scar of the stretchmark. This requires several treatments so patients need patience. We will be updating info on this treatment from time to time so keep checking in.

So far we have been pleased with the response from our patients. A few are thrilled with it and tell us that they will never go back to Botox. Several patients have reported a softer appearance than when the used Botox but I am not sure what to attribute that to. All in all, we are happy with it and continue to see Dysport becoming more and more popular.

This new product is FDA approved and has been reported to last 1 month longer than Botox and start to take effect a few days quicker as well. Call today and schedule an appointment for Dysport - 909.793.3563

Senza is pleased to be one of the first offices in Redlands to offer Latisse.  This is a treatment that increases the density, length and darkness of eyelashes.  Take a look at some of the amazing before and afters from the clinical study done by Allergan for FDA approval at www.latisse.com.  We have been waiting for this product for some time and we are having a hard time keeping it in stock since it has been featured in the news and in magazines nationwide.  What a great way to finish off a great rejuvenated look after your laser treatments, Juvederm and Botox!

Well, we have a winner on the Inland Empire’s uglies tattoo contest.  She is very excited and as can be seen on this video of her treatment filmed here in the office.  She knows that there are going to be many more treatments to go but she is eager to get rid of the tattoo.  Check out the video of the treatment here http://www.youtube.com/v/i8A6MnP3gS8

I am very excited to introduce this fantastic new procedure to our practice. Smartlipo is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes unwanted pockets of fat and sculpts the body - all without the risks of general anesthesia. The most common areas treated are the abdomen, love handles, thighs, arms, and neck. Patients have minimal down-time and can typically go back to work and normal activity within a couple of days. I will go into more detail on how this new procedure works and add some video in future posts.

We have introduced a new chemical peel to our list of treatments.  It is called the ViPeel.  I was the first patient to have this new peel done last week and I honestly loved it!  I applied the peel on Thursday before Easter and peeled lightly over the weekend - no big deal just a little flaking.  By Monday, the peeling was finished and I was quite impressed with the smoothness of my skin texture and the glow that my skin had.  The peel stung a little bit when first applied but with a fan the discomfort was gone - remember I am a guy and we are generally wimpy compared to women.This peel can be applied anywhere on the body (face, neck, hands, chest, back etc.) and it was originally designed to treat acne.  The cool thing about this peel is that it can be used on ANY SKIN TYPE even dark skin types! I encourage anyone interested in boosting their skin care regimen to try this peel.

Well, Botox is in the media AGAIN. I wanted to comment on this most recent news that may have left some of you a little scared of Botox. Here are the facts on this new report ( I will include a link as well that gives details). The Botox deaths were cases of overdosing. These were mainly children being treated for muscle spasms associated with cerebral palsy and other problems. The only adult that had cosmetic treatment of Botox died of Pneumonia and that was 7 weeks after her treatment - probably unrelated. So, the bottom line is that the FDA has not made any changes on its cosmetic approval of the use of Botox and we will follow any safety updates recomended by the FDA.

So, you work out…eat right…. do all the right things - and there still is an area that is flabby and won’t go away! This very frustration is a common complaint in my office and until the last year we did not have a great answer except for liposuction. I have been researching injection lipolysis for a long time and wanted to wait until we have gained enough experience before I started offering it at Senza. I have gone to many many training courses and feel like I have a good grasp on this treatment.  This treatment is very effective in pockets of fat if it is done properly and meticulously. In our office, you will always have treatments done by a doctor (myself). We have a very specific protocol and our solution is not just a cocktail or potion - it is simply the active ingredients Phosphatidylcholine and Deoxycholate (PC DC) along with an anesthetic to help with discomfort. I will later post describing what PC DC is and how it works. For small pockets of fat that will shape the body - this treatment is great. Senza is the only office in the Inland Empire that offers this meticulous attention to detail with lipodissolve. We call it Medical Lipodissolve.
