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."

The Doctor That 'Nose' Right - Leading New York Skin Center Perfects Non-Surgical Alternative to Rhinoplasty
If you are one of the estimated quarter of a million people that will opt for a Rhinoplasty in 2011 you may want to go for a second opinion. If you have a low bridge, your nasal tip is pinched or you simply want to try out a new nose shape without permanent results then a non-surgical Rhinoplasty could be the solution. The benefits are faster results, quicker healing time and little to no pain.
Dr. Bruce Katz, founder of the JUVA Skin & Laser Center in New York, is constantly charged with pioneering and perfecting faster and more effective anti-aging and cosmetic solutions for his patients. By using injectables such as Restylane, Juvaderm and Radiesse, depending on each patient's nasal flaws, Dr. Katz can fill divots and defects in the nose quickly. Botox can also be injected to relax a muslce that pulls the nose tip downward to create a more upturned appearance, or to soften the lines near the top of the nose (bunny lines on nose). Injectables can also help shape or improve a shallow bridge.
"With patients continuing to demand minimally invasive procedures with dramatic results the JUVA Skin and Laser Center is constantly offering faster, easier and less painful solutions to some of the most common cosmetic body and skin ailments," said Dr. Katz. "A non surgical nose job is a perfect example of how we took a popular procedure that had a great amount of pain and a long recovery time and made it more accessible for patients. With this procedure you can be back at work later in the day with results you have to see to believe."
And for those skeptics that fear injectables will leave their nose looking larger, Dr. Katz assures that this "instant nose job" simply evens out the look of the nose leaving it with a smooth line appearance.
Unlike a typical Rhinoplasty, this procedure is not permanent and requires "touch-ups" the same way you would when using filler on any other part of the face.

Celebrity Medical Experts Agree: Fillers, Botox & Laser Treatments Gave Gwyneth Paltrow Her Puffy New Face!
Gwyneth's gotten a round of fillers, Botox and a final touch with a laser to make her look more youthful!
Have you seen this recent photo of Gwynth Paltrow's face?!?! The super puffy complexion and redness alarmed me so much taht I had to call in the experts. They all agree: the actress has had some work done! Fillers, laser, and injectables all evidently played a role in the star's new look. Here's what the experts had to say:
Dr. Bruce Katz, board-certified dermatologist and Director of the Juva Skin and Laser Center, thinks injectables are at play in Paltrow's new look. "She may have had some filler under the eyes and possibly the cheeks. She looks a little swollen there. Her face looks a lot rounder."
He goes on to explain, "If you look closely, her face is all red. It's very likely she had some laser treatments (Fractional CO2 laser.) "Usually, you use that to tighten the skin or the pores. You're red after laser treatments. If you look at her forehead, her cheeks and the size of her face....all pretty red. Her eyes are also narrower which indicates that she probably has swelling from the laser treatment."
Dr. Steven Dayan, board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon (MD, FACS) agrees with Dr. Katz. "Her forehead has an appearance consistent with someone who has been treated with Botox," he confirms. He also has a slightly different opinion. "Her face appears mostly swollen around the eyes, not necessarily the cheeks or smile lines. If so, the swollen eyes could be secondary to eyelid surgery (belpharoplasty). She seems to have a more upper eyelid exposed on both eyelids and even possibly an upper eyelid scar on the upper outer corner of her right eye." What else might have had done?
No worries, Gwyneth fans: her face will be back to normal in no time at all. "It usually takes 4 - 7 days for the redness to go away," Dr. Katz explains.

Discover Courteney Cox’s Anti-Aging Secrets
A lot has happened since the Friends show has been off the air: Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt tied the knot…and split, and Courteney Cox and David Arquette tied the knot…then split. With all of the stress and pressure that Hollywood puts on celebs’ love lives, it’s a wonder how Courteney Cox manages to keep up her looks without straying too far from her youthful Friends days.
Dr. Bruce Katz of the JUVA Skin & Laser Center in New York shared his thoughts on how he suspects she has managed to defy the hands of time and remain one of Hollywood’s best kept faces.
“Courteney’s face looks ageless due to the fact she has maintained her original facial symmetry and simply enhanced certain areas to fight skin sagging and wrinkles,” Dr. Katz says.
- The skin around her eyes looks as tight as it did 20 years ago thanks to procedures like an eye lift. At JUVA Skin & Laser Center, the same look can be achieved with a Madonna Lift, which is a non-invasive fractional eye lift
- It appears she has had her cheeks enhanced with a filler such as Restylane to keep her cheekbones looking high.
- Using Botox around the eyes and eyebrows helps maintain her youthful, rested appearance.
- Her lips appear fuller, most likely due to injections of Perlane to her upper and lower lip.
How do you think Courteney looks? Would you get these treatments?
