Cynosure Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for Cellulaze Cellulite Laser Workstation

World’s First Minimally Invasive Aesthetic Device for Cellulite Reduction

Cynosure, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYNO) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared the Company’s Cellulaze™ Workstation for commercial distribution, giving millions of American women the first minimally invasive solution in their battle against cellulite.

“Cellulaze is the world’s first and only minimally invasive medical device designed to treat women who have struggled to eliminate cellulite through diet and exercise, or have tried the myriad of lotions and creams currently on the market,” said Cynosure President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Davin. “Unlike those products, Cellulaze is the only aesthetic device that directly treats the physiological structure of cellulite, providing clinically proven, results.” 

An estimated 85% of women over the age of 20[1,2]  have some form of cellulite – pockets of fat deposited just beneath the surface of the skin, around the hips, thighs, and buttocks, which produces an “orange-peel” or a “cottage cheese” appearance.[3] In the United States alone, the treatment of cellulite is a multibillion-dollar industry, according to market estimates.

IAPAM’s hCG Physician Medical Weight Management Training - March 2, 2012

To help healthcare providers help their overweight and obese patients, the IAPAM has lauched its hCG Physician Medical Weight Management Training.

What makes the IAPAM’s hCG Protocol and Training Program the best in the industry is that it’s taught by a faculty who’ve actually done the hCG Protocol themselves! They will educate you on both sides of the program, being the healthcare provider and the patient.  There is no other program like this in North America.  Members also receive phone support after the program is completed, and your patients will be able to join the IAPAM’s patient support groups for long term support.

Finally, the IAPAM’s full day hCG training is the only medical weight loss training in North America approved for a special medical malpractice rate for those who have attended and have been certified by the IAPAM. Read more

Doctors can enjoy variety of advantages from implementing EMR after initial learning curve

Most of the advantages that electronic medical records (EMRs) deliver for medically oriented practices also apply to aesthetic surgery practices, according to William Beeson, M.D., a facial plastic surgeon in Carmel, Ind.

Key drivers for EMR adoption include legislative requirements, the need to manage billing of third-party payers and the efficiency improvements that EMRs can bring to office workflow, says Dr. Beeson, who is also a clinical professor in the departments of dermatology and otolaryngology — head and neck surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine.

Stop the Clock: Lift and Tighten Without the Knife

Excerpt

Forget the facelift. In the last five years, a flurry of new noninvasive cosmetic procedures have come along, promising to turn back the clock on aging skin without as much risk and recovery time as surgery.

From fillers to lasers, 83 percent of all cosmetic procedures performed in the offices of cosmetic plastic surgeons in 2010 were nonsurgical, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Of course, not all of the wrinkle-busting, skin-tightening treatments out there are worth the time and money. And because most require refreshing every few months or years — or look better used in combination with each other — they can be as expensive as surgery in the long run.

Unlike surgical lifts that simply pull the skin or muscles tight, however, these no-scalpel treatments increase the collagen and elastin in the skin, making it feel younger. “Some of these devices are changing the quality of the skin,” says New York City dermatologist Neil Sadick.

Botulinum Toxin Used on Perioral ‘Bar Code’

Patients who don’t like the vertical lines that form above the lips when they pucker up may benefit from botulinum toxin injections.

“Many patients look at themselves in the morning and they’re not concerned about lip volume, but they’re concerned about these radiating lines that go around their mouth. We call this the ‘bar code,’ ” Dr. Joel L. Cohen said.

These patients may complain of radiating lines when the mouth is animated, of lipstick bleeding out from the lips, or of a hollowed look around the mouth. The injection of botulinum toxin into the orbicularis oris muscles can “soften” the columns that appear when the mouth moves, he said at the annual meeting of the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery in Las Vegas.

hCG Diet - 2 Years Later!

It’s been two years since I did 34 days on the IAPAM’s hCG diet protocol, so I thought I’d give you an update on the effectiveness of the program. As of this morning, I’m still within 2lbs of my last injection weight, so am I happy with my results, you bet I am! In reviewing my results, I can safely say that the protocol did everything thing it was supposed to do: it reset my metabolism, reduced my appetite, got rid of those problem fat areas, and all without any type of regular exercise. I hear from others who haven’t been so successful on hCG and I ask them “where did you buy it?” and in 99.9% of the time, I hear “through the internet.” So I know they bought sugar water for $50, and I’m not surprised they didn’t have long term weight loss. I also hear from those who took the sugar water (aka homeopathic hCG) who say they lost a lot of weight, but those people seem to disappear after 6 months or so, when they discover that taking homeopathic hCG isn’t the same as taking prescription hCG. They don’t get the long term benefits, and like all the other yo-yo diets out there, they regain all their initial weight loss within 6-9 months.
