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.

Comparing a Facelift to Nonsurgical Options

In recent years, facelifts have been declining in popularity. This is partly due to the dramatic increase in nonsurgical options for facial rejuvenation. But how do nonsurgical options really compare to a facelift?

HOUSTON, TX, December 31, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ — In recent years, facelifts have been declining in popularity. This is partly due to the dramatic increase in nonsurgical options for facial rejuvenation. But how do nonsurgical options really compare to a facelift?

 

Recovery

 

A short recovery time is one of the main advantages of nonsurgical treatments like BOTOX Cosmetic and injectable fillers. These procedures can be performed on your lunch hour, taking only twenty or thirty minutes, and you can return to work–especially nonstrenuous work–immediately after. No downtime, and little discomfort other than some soreness at the injection site. You may have to explain away some swelling and redness, but if you’re prepared for that you don’t need to take any time off for recovery.

 

A surgical facelift, on the other hand, requires at least a week away from work and other activities for recovery. There will be significant discomfort, bruising, and swelling. There will likely still be some swelling and bruising when you can return to your normal activities, but you will be cleared for using concealing makeup. Read more

               

Happy New Year: The Busiest Season for Cosmetic Surgery

Beauty takes no holiday.

December, particularly the latter half, is the busiest time of the year for many plastic surgeons, cosmetic dermatologists and doctors who perform weight-loss operations like gastric bypass. Some doctors say they do twice as many of these elective procedures per day in this period as during the rest of the year.

The reason: After many cosmetic procedures patients want to go underground during the days-long recovery period, which might involve swelling, bruising and oozing. The holiday season makes it easier to avoid interacting with others at work or in school car pools. This year, with Christmas and New Year’s both falling on weekends, a patient can be under the knife or laser beams early in the week and still be presentable by the time the parties start.

In 2012, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums with Botox ® Training Stand Alone

The IAPAM leads its competitors in offering the most complete botox ® training and aesthetic medicine education in North America. In 2012, attendees at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums will have the competitive advantage of learning from board-certified dermatologists and experts in the fields of botox ® training, lasers & IPLs, dermal fillers, hCG for weight loss, medical grade chemical peels and medical micordermabrasion. Beyond the hands-on botox ® training and aesthetic medicine instruction, the resources physicians receive from the IAPAM position it as the most respected physician training association in North America.

  

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (IAPAM) Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with botox ® training is different than any other physician training program offered in North America.  The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) offers comprehensive aesthetic medicine education and long term support for physicians of all medical specialties. The IAPAM is where the world’s physicians come together to learn and share their experiences in aesthetic medicine. The IAPAM offers a suite of aesthetic medicine training programs from botox ® training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) to hCG training (http://www.hcgtraining.com), along with aesthetic practice business training.  Unlike programs offered by a private company, the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is certified by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.  Read more

               

IAPAM Reports on the Top Aesthetic Medicine Trends for 2012

The International Association For Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM) has released the Top Aesthetic Medicine Trends for 2012.  In the upcoming year, physicians will see successful aesthetic practices be those who offer “combination” treatment packages, integrating: facial injectables, medical skin care, IPL/laser rejuvenation and non-invasive body contouring.   

Introduction
 
The IAPAM sees the market for minimally-invasive procedures continuing to grow in 2012.  Dr. Tom D. Wang, President of the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (AAFPRS) concedes that “consumer interest in aesthetic procedures and treatment has continued in strong fashion.  However, some effects from the recent recession still linger.  Dr. Wang has “noted [that] some patients [are] choosing to have less invasive injectable treatments or non-surgical procedures in an effort to defer facial surgery for the time being.”  Dr. Wang has also noticed that more and more patients are doing “a lot of research online and via social networks prior to committing to procedures.  This has been fueled by the increase in the number of websites and chat boards devoted specifically to aesthetic topics.”  To capture this knowledgeable patient population, physicians will need to offer the latest aesthetic medicine procedures, utilize the most current technologies and package synergistic treatments for the most effective, yet cost effective results.

Combining Non-Invasive Procedures Gives the Best Results

Dr. Gregory Buford, recognized speaker and consultant for the Plastic Surgery industry, comments that, “as we head into 2012, consumers are becoming more savvy about which tips and tricks from their practitioners really work and which do not.”  Both Drs. Tess Mauricio, respected board-certified dermatolgist, and Gregory Buford see “more application and research on combination treatments.”  Dr. Buford offers that, “I think the direction we will take in 2012 is an extension and refinement of combination therapies we are already practicing.  More and more aesthetic providers are abandoning mono-therapy and combining medical skin care, facial injectables, and laser conditioning and offering these synergistic packages to their clients.  This “Holy Triad” of facial rejuvenation can be extremely effective in addressing age-related changes on multiple levels and produce results far more dramatic than previously seen.” Read more

               

IAPAM Announces the 2012 Dates for Symposiums with Botox ®Training and hCG Training

Patient demand for Botox ® and other minimally invasive cosmetic procedures is at an all time high. The IAPAM is helping physicians enter this lucrative market by offering their dermatologist-led, 2-day Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training. Physicians learn everything they need to start offering Botox ® and other in-demand aesthetic medicine procedures.  Today, the IAPAM announced its 2012 dates for its respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and hCG Physician Training seminars.
 
Two recent surveys, published in the article “Impact of the Current Economy on Facial Aesthetic Surgery,” appearing in the September 2011 issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, reveal that “many patients are delaying facial plastic surgery and instead seeking out less-costly nonsurgical options due to the impact of the current recession.   “That the current economy is affecting patients’ choices around facial rejuvenation is not so surprising, since previous surveys from ASAPS have shown a decrease in aesthetic surgical procedures and a slight uptick in nonsurgical procedures over recent years,”  said T. Jonathan Kurkjian MD, of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, who served as lead author of the study.
 
Physicians considering the launch of a medspa are making a wise business decision, as they capitalize on this “uptick” in non-surgical procedure demand. To assist physicians in entering this lucrative market, The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (http://www.iapam.com)  Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) is designed by physicians for physicians to support the addition of aesthetic medicine modalities, including botox ®, to an existing practice, or launching a medical spa.  This 2 day educational event showcases the most important clinical and business aesthetic medicine training.  Physicians who complete the IAPAM’s Symposium have a competitive advantage.

Men Lead Rebound in Cosmetic Surgery Industry

A recent study released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) indicates that more men than ever are undergoing cosmetic procedures including facelifts, liposuction, Botox and more.  The ASPS study showed that 1.1 million men underwent cosmetic procedures in 2010.  Economists assume the aging baby boomer generation is the boost the cosmetic and plastic surgeons need.  Dr. Tenley Lawton, a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Newport Beach, Calif. sees the trend affecting her business as well.

“I have seen more men than ever before within the last 18 months.  Here in Orange County, the capital of beautiful people, men feel the pressure to look young and feel their best,” Dr. Lawton says. Read more

               

98% of Survey Respondents Would Recommend The IAPAM for Botox ® and hCG Training

The IAPAM is helping physicians enter the lucrative markets of hCG for Weight Loss and Botox ® and other minimally-invasive treatments.  Through the offering of their physician-led hCG Training and Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training, the IAPAM gives physicians everything they need to start safely and profitably offering Botox ®, fillers, medical microdermabrasion, lasers for hair removal & skin rejuvenation, medical grade chemical peels, and hCG for weight loss, to their patients.  In a recent survey, 98.3% of IAPAM Members who responded said they would recommend the IAPAM to a colleague looking to add these modalities to a practice.
 
Adding revenue to your medical practice is easy as attending the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) or the IAPAM’s hCG Training for Physicians (http://www.hcgtraining.com).  The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has trained over 900 physicians on how to effectively offer Botox ® and other minimally invasive modalities, as well as hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) for weight loss, to their patients.  The IAPAM is the most respected aesthetic medicine training association in the U.S.  In a recent survey of IAPAM Members, 98.3% of respondents said that they “would recommend the IAPAM to a colleague who wanted to enter the aesthetic medicine or weight loss field.” Read more
