'Light'-Ening Fast Anti-Aging Treatment

January 21, 2011 (New York, NY) - The common misconception among women in search of a "quick-fix" solution to their tired, aging skin is to turn to well-known injectables for a plumping and tightening-effect. What most don't realize is that there is a revolutionary, virtually pain-free technology that delivers dramatic skin tightening and wrinkle reduction results without the pain and recovery of needle injections. Always at the forefront of the latest anti-aging skin care technoloiges, Manhattan-based JUVA Skin and Laser Center specializes in the Accent Dual Mode RF System.
Accent Dual radio frequency, or RF, combines two radio frequencies - one that treats thinner skin, such as skin that lies just over bone, and one that penetrates deeper into dermal and sub-dermal tissues. The technology can be used to treat a wide range of aesthetic conditions.
According to JUVA Skin & Laser Center director Bruce E. Katz, M.D., some of the benefits of the approach are that it is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and is a virtually painless skin rejuvenation treatment.
"Skin tightening laser treatments that are less invasive and provide for a speedier recovery are very important to patients now," explains Bruce E. Katz, M.D., director of JUVA Skin & Laser Center. "With the Accent Dual Mode RF System patients notice a sifnificant difference in skin laxity immediately following the treatment."
Accent Dual Mode was developed by Alma Lasers Ltd., a leading developer and marketer of light-, laser- and radiofrequency-based aesthetic devices used in dermatology. Clinical trials of the technology demonstrated that Accent was particularly effective in the treatment of skin laxity in the neck.

Bruce E. Katz, M.D. of Juva Skin & Laser Center Pioneers "The Madonna Lift" Fractional Eyelift Procedure

Bruce Katz, M.D. of Juva Skin & Laser Center, working with fractional CO2 technology previously used for fractional laser resurfacing treatments, has pioneered "The Madonna Lift," a new fractional eyelift procedure that acts as a safe and effective alternative to traditional eyelid surgery. Since receiving FDA clearance in 2004, fractional laser resurfacing has benefited millions of patients. The Madonna Lift will increase that number.
Fractional CO2 works by using laser beamlike columns, targeting a very specific area while leaving surrounding tissue intact. These beams eradicate damaged fibers in the skin and encourage new tissue with fresh elasticity to grow back in its place. Because the whole of the skin is not affected, healing is quick and far less painful than other procedures.
"The Madonna fractional eyelift dramatically reduces the appearance of dark circles and eye wrinkles, tightens upper and lower eyelid skin, and helps to elevate drooping eyebrows," said Dr. Katz. "It has a number of the benefits of a surgical eyelift without the risks and downtime. The only problem it doesn't address is bulging fat pads.
Metal eye shields are used during treatment to protect a patient's eyes from injury. The only anesthesia needed for the procedure is a numbing cream that is applied to the eyelids; as a results, downtime is minimal.
"A recent study of fractional eyelifts involving more than 100 participants showed dramatic and consistent results, "added Dr. Katz. "In order to achieve the best results from the Madonna Lift, I would recommend between three and five sessions, delivered at two-to-three week intervals."

The Adonis Effect: Men Turn to Cosmetic Procedures to Perfect Their Image

NEW YORK, January 7, 2011 - The New Years ushers in a desire to look and feel our best. Thsoe in search of their own fountain of youth turn to cosmetic procedures to plump, nip and tuck away the years. But while most assume women make up the patient roster for cosmetic procedures, men have found ways to improve their self-image as well. They are just keeping it a secret.
On any given day, if you look in the reception area of the renowned JUVA Skin & Laser Center in Manhattan, you will notice just as many male patients as female. Dr. Adam Schaffner, Director of Plastic Surgery at JUVA, says men are turning to him for ways they can look adn feel like a better man.
Whether it is for personal fulfillment or to enhance a professional image, popular facial procedures include enhancing jaw lines to project a strong impression, injecting BOTOX Cosmetic and fillers to eliminate the look of fatique, trimming extra skin and softening wrinkles around the eyes, and fixing nasal imperfections like bumps, ridges and a bulbous tip.
Making alterations to a man's body has become increasingly more popular in the past decade as advances in laser and cosmetic procedures have made them easier and more accessible. Whether treating "man boobs", known as gynecomastia, love handles, or a lack of definition, liposuction can help reshape areas to improve contour. Lipoetching accentuates the pectoral, abdominal and oblique muscles. Finally, laser-assisted liposuction helps tighten skin and reduce the amount of bruising and swelling associated with other liposuction techniques.
"There is a misconception that cosmetic procedures are geared towards preserving a woman's youth and that men don't have similar insecurities about their face or body," said Dr. Schaffner. "Men discreetly and quickly undergo minimally invasive procedures that help achieve their desired image."
