Will Emsculpt work for me?
EMSCULPT will enhance your muscles
Sep 23, 2019
This is a great question! EMSCULPT can definitely give you results when it comes to lifting and toning of the buttocks.  If you combine that with a light workout you can achieve results in less time.

Rare Reaction
Sep 23, 2019
It is rare that Hyaluronic acid reactions occur.  You can try Algeness filler as an alternate filler.  It is available in Europe.  Maybe your solution. 
Does Thermismooth for the eyes cause dry eye?
ThermiSmooth – does it cause dry eye?
Jul 18, 2017
Thank you for your question. Rather than causing dry eye, ThermiSmooth could help treat it by stimulating blood and lymphatic flow. This is well known to occur in other parts of the body as well as the eyes. Hope this helps. 
Best option for treating festoons between ThermiSmooth and Sidelaze?
Treatment for Festoons
Jul 18, 2017
Thank you for your question. I am required by good ethical practices to disclose to you that I am the Medical Director of Thermi, however in this answer I am speaking as an individual practicing physician, and not as a representative of the company. I am not sure of sidelaze but I am wondering if you meant cellulaze in your post. If cellulaze, a combination of laser and liposuction is an agressive treatment for the festoons. ThermiSmooth treatments of the festoons 2-3 weeks apart has…
I want to do thermismooth on my waist. How effective is this treatment?
Effectiveness of ThermiSmooth on the waist
Jul 18, 2017
Thank you for your question. ThermiSmooth 250, also known as ThermiSmooth Body, is recommended for the body. It is recommended to treat each area for 20 minutes. What consitutues an area is the size of half a sheet of paper. So some patients would have to treat both sides of their waist for 40 minutes total while others may need to treat for twice as long or more due to an increased treatment surface area. Treating both deep and superficial parts of the body would take longer. Shorter…
Thermi smooth; should the doctor be the one performing this?
Who should perform ThermiSmooth treatments?
Jul 18, 2017
Thank you for your question. I am required by good ethics practices to disclose to you that I am a Medical Director of Thermi, however in this answer I am speaking as an individual practicing physician, and not as a representative of the company. It is not necessary for doctors to perform ThermiSmooth and in most practices, doctors do not perform this. A properly trained nurse or technician would be able to do these treatments and achieve great results. Hope this helps.
Can the trauma of a facelift cause skin sensitivities? Can I suddenly be allergic to Phenoxye
Skin Sensitivities from a Facelift?
Jul 18, 2017
Thank you for your question. The trauma of a facelift could cause skin sensitivities. In the healing process, small nerve endings can be cut much like branches sprouting from a prune tree. As new nerve endings regrow, the skin can become more sensitive due to growth. Although this sensitivity can settle down, this is likely due to trauma. Hematomas are particularly harsh on facial tissues. Allergies are specific immunologic phenomena. As allergies have an exposure to proteins, Phenoxyethanol…
Neuroma after facelift: should I have plastic surgeon fix it or a neurosurgeon?
Neuroma
Apr 7, 2017
Thank you for your question. Neuromas are relatively uncommon but
well known phenomena. Neurogsurgeons and plastic surgeons are both quite
capable of taking care of neuromas. In the face, it is likely that the plastic
surgeon has more experience as neurosurgeons primarily spend most of the time
treating in the spine or in the cranium.
When should I get an ineffective face/neck lift resolved and is it likely to cause more scarr
Revision Facelift
Apr 7, 2017
Thank you for your question. If the facelift was not complicated
by problems in wound healing, hematoma, or related conditions there should not
be extensive scarring. Generally it would be wise to wait a minimum of 3
months and some surgeons may wait as long as 6 months prior to doing a
secondary procedure. Good luck!
Too many fillers? Is it time for a facelift?
Time for Face Lift?
Apr 7, 2017
Thank you for your question. It appears that you could benefit from a facelift
procedure, as in the mid-face, nasolabial folds, and jowls there is significant
ptosis and aging. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon in your area.
Surgical procedure or laser? Which is best all round for the money spent on lifting the face?
Face Lift and Laser
Apr 7, 2017
Thank you for your question. It appears that you have a lot of
sun damage and irregular pigmentation. This would best be addressed by a laser
procedure. In addition, you have significant ptosis (sagging) and aging in the
face, which points towards surgery. Some patients have 1 some patients have the
other, some patients have both. It’s a matter of which is your priority, what
is your budget, and devising a program for your particular requirements.
Mini face lift: Is it possible to have a shorter incision?
Face Lift
Apr 7, 2017
Thank you for your question. In general,
the more you cut the more you can lift, the more you cut the more you can
shape. So it’s a question of how much you want to accomplish with your
procedure and how much improvement you need. We do a lot of minimal incision
procedures and sometimes combine them with micro-invasive procedures like
ThermiTight. It’s a matter of individualizing your goals, lifestyle, budget
and anatomy. I have done all variations of these. The trend is clearly tow…
Is neck-lift needed automatically when doing facelift?
Neck lift with Face lift – Is it Necessary?
Apr 3, 2017
Thank you for your question. Most of the time a neck lift is done with a facelift because the
wrinkles would appear around the earlobe and aesthetically, psychologically we
view these in balance. There are cases however where it is not necessary.

has been overwhelmingly positive with our patients.
