While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain

of Youthrdquo many have experienced the

wonderful rejuvenating benefits from

facial and bodily procedures designed to

enhance your appearance Add to this

the enhancement that many experience

in their intimate social and professional

aspects of life it is no wonder that

cosmetic procedures are popular

especially for those who want to stay

ahead of aging Now you can reap the

rewards of lessons learned in previous

years to benefit from the many cutting

edge advancements with Cosmetic

Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr

Tehrani is considered a top rated board

certified plastic surgeon who graduated

from school following training that

offered the gold standard approaches

Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current

on all of the latest techniques and

technology to specialize in all of the

best facial and body procedures at his

practice for over twelve years As he

explained ldquoYou really need to be on the

frontlines to offer the best approaches

and to deliver the best results I take

pride in exceeding expectations in

this area I take time to investigate

new technology and techniques to sift

through those that are tried and true so

I can reproduce optimal results in my

practice I am a perfectionist to a fault

Many people interested in aesthetic

procedures today opt for minimally and

non-invasive approaches that do not

require downtime My mission has been

to meet this request and I do so with the

assistance of less invasive technology

At my practice it is not uncommon for

women interested in a tummy tuck to

receive liposuction and laser therapy

instead of the more invasive tummy tuck

when possible Instead of a traditional

invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be

less invasive In short I am a patient

advocate I have a reputation to maintain

and my patients trust me as their

advocaterdquo

When queried about anti-aging Dr

Tehrani offered his Top Tips This

includes weight control through proper

diet and exercise hormonal balance

vitamin D efficiency which when

deficient can adversely affect weight

and maintaining the health of cells

through vitamins andor supplements

Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical

hormones to the mix of his offerings

His PA performs an extensive panel

to obtain readings on your hormone

levels antioxidant counts heavy metal

screening and a physical exam to develop

the precise formulation you will need to

optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also

believes that environmental factors can

play a significant role in aging As such

he advocates for daily year round sun

protection and daily cleansing with a

bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or

Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise

to consider injectables for around your

eyes between your brows and on your

forehead before aging sets in This will

prevents facial creases in these areas

Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose

for building volume in your cheeks or

filling in smile lines As such there is a

host to choose from including Juvederm

reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more

depending upon your anatomical features

and the region on your face that requires

treatment For skin tightening there is

Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening

and Thermi RF for skin tightening In

fact before Dr Tehrani committed to

Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke

with many patients to find it was a nice

niche for loose skin With just few days of

downtime and wonderful skin tightening

results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but

to invest in the technology Thermi even

works well for other applications such as

for gentlemen who lose weight but are

bothered by a pouch that they want to get

rid of

ldquoIn terms of what is most

misunderstood by consumers about

plastic surgery the answer is two

fold according to Dr Tehrani In

general many are misinformed about

injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers

to know that injectables are a highly

technique driven procedures Also

cosmetic procedures are not just for

the rich and famous Many consider

cosmetic procedures just as routine

as hair and nails understanding its

clinical and professional elementsrdquo

The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into

better balance and by so doing not

only improve a face and body but also

achieve something deeper and more

far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of

leveraged self-esteem and a positive

self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

board certified plastic surgeon who can

bring your goals to fruition A preventative

approach before aging sets in is wisest

to commence in the late 20rsquos and early

30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve

your youthful skin for up to 20 years

Depending upon the extent of aging on

your face you may need to blend different

treatment protocols each of which does

one or two things therapeutically but

none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging

tends to initially show around your eyes

at the corners of your mouth in the lines

between your eyes and your nose or your

nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers

and neuro-modulators can do their best

work The good news is that today you

can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or

you and Dr Tehrani can work together to

come up with the approach most likely to

give you the youthful vibrant appearance

that you deserve hellip naturally

Dr Tehrani is dialed in to all that you

need Not only board certified by the

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain

of Youthrdquo many have experienced the

wonderful rejuvenating benefits from

facial and bodily procedures designed to

enhance your appearance Add to this

the enhancement that many experience

in their intimate social and professional

aspects of life it is no wonder that

cosmetic procedures are popular

especially for those who want to stay

ahead of aging Now you can reap the

rewards of lessons learned in previous

years to benefit from the many cutting

edge advancements with Cosmetic

Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr

Tehrani is considered a top rated board

certified plastic surgeon who graduated

from school following training that

offered the gold standard approaches

Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current

on all of the latest techniques and

technology to specialize in all of the

best facial and body procedures at his

practice for over twelve years As he

explained ldquoYou really need to be on the

frontlines to offer the best approaches

and to deliver the best results I take

pride in exceeding expectations in

this area I take time to investigate

new technology and techniques to sift

through those that are tried and true so

I can reproduce optimal results in my

practice I am a perfectionist to a fault

Many people interested in aesthetic

procedures today opt for minimally and

non-invasive approaches that do not

require downtime My mission has been

to meet this request and I do so with the

assistance of less invasive technology

At my practice it is not uncommon for

women interested in a tummy tuck to

receive liposuction and laser therapy

instead of the more invasive tummy tuck

when possible Instead of a traditional

invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be

less invasive In short I am a patient

advocate I have a reputation to maintain

and my patients trust me as their

advocaterdquo

When queried about anti-aging Dr

Tehrani offered his Top Tips This

includes weight control through proper

diet and exercise hormonal balance

vitamin D efficiency which when

deficient can adversely affect weight

and maintaining the health of cells

through vitamins andor supplements

Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical

hormones to the mix of his offerings

His PA performs an extensive panel

to obtain readings on your hormone

levels antioxidant counts heavy metal

screening and a physical exam to develop

the precise formulation you will need to

optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also

believes that environmental factors can

play a significant role in aging As such

he advocates for daily year round sun

protection and daily cleansing with a

bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or

Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise

to consider injectables for around your

eyes between your brows and on your

forehead before aging sets in This will

prevents facial creases in these areas

Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose

for building volume in your cheeks or

filling in smile lines As such there is a

host to choose from including Juvederm

reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more

depending upon your anatomical features

and the region on your face that requires

treatment For skin tightening there is

Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening

and Thermi RF for skin tightening In

fact before Dr Tehrani committed to

Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke

with many patients to find it was a nice

niche for loose skin With just few days of

downtime and wonderful skin tightening

results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but

to invest in the technology Thermi even

works well for other applications such as

for gentlemen who lose weight but are

bothered by a pouch that they want to get

rid of

ldquoIn terms of what is most

misunderstood by consumers about

plastic surgery the answer is two

fold according to Dr Tehrani In

general many are misinformed about

injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers

to know that injectables are a highly

technique driven procedures Also

cosmetic procedures are not just for

the rich and famous Many consider

cosmetic procedures just as routine

as hair and nails understanding its

clinical and professional elementsrdquo

The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into

better balance and by so doing not

only improve a face and body but also

achieve something deeper and more

far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of

leveraged self-esteem and a positive

self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

board certified plastic surgeon who can

bring your goals to fruition A preventative

approach before aging sets in is wisest

to commence in the late 20rsquos and early

30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve

your youthful skin for up to 20 years

Depending upon the extent of aging on

your face you may need to blend different

treatment protocols each of which does

one or two things therapeutically but

none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging

tends to initially show around your eyes

at the corners of your mouth in the lines

between your eyes and your nose or your

nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers

and neuro-modulators can do their best

work The good news is that today you

can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or

you and Dr Tehrani can work together to

come up with the approach most likely to

give you the youthful vibrant appearance

that you deserve hellip naturally

Dr Tehrani is dialed in to all that you

need Not only board certified by the

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain

of Youthrdquo many have experienced the

wonderful rejuvenating benefits from

facial and bodily procedures designed to

enhance your appearance Add to this

the enhancement that many experience

in their intimate social and professional

aspects of life it is no wonder that

cosmetic procedures are popular

especially for those who want to stay

ahead of aging Now you can reap the

rewards of lessons learned in previous

years to benefit from the many cutting

edge advancements with Cosmetic

Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr

Tehrani is considered a top rated board

certified plastic surgeon who graduated

from school following training that

offered the gold standard approaches

Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current

on all of the latest techniques and

technology to specialize in all of the

best facial and body procedures at his

practice for over twelve years As he

explained ldquoYou really need to be on the

frontlines to offer the best approaches

and to deliver the best results I take

pride in exceeding expectations in

this area I take time to investigate

new technology and techniques to sift

through those that are tried and true so

I can reproduce optimal results in my

practice I am a perfectionist to a fault

Many people interested in aesthetic

procedures today opt for minimally and

non-invasive approaches that do not

require downtime My mission has been

to meet this request and I do so with the

assistance of less invasive technology

At my practice it is not uncommon for

women interested in a tummy tuck to

receive liposuction and laser therapy

instead of the more invasive tummy tuck

when possible Instead of a traditional

invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be

less invasive In short I am a patient

advocate I have a reputation to maintain

and my patients trust me as their

advocaterdquo

When queried about anti-aging Dr

Tehrani offered his Top Tips This

includes weight control through proper

diet and exercise hormonal balance

vitamin D efficiency which when

deficient can adversely affect weight

and maintaining the health of cells

through vitamins andor supplements

Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical

hormones to the mix of his offerings

His PA performs an extensive panel

to obtain readings on your hormone

levels antioxidant counts heavy metal

screening and a physical exam to develop

the precise formulation you will need to

optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also

believes that environmental factors can

play a significant role in aging As such

he advocates for daily year round sun

protection and daily cleansing with a

bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or

Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise

to consider injectables for around your

eyes between your brows and on your

forehead before aging sets in This will

prevents facial creases in these areas

Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose

for building volume in your cheeks or

filling in smile lines As such there is a

host to choose from including Juvederm

reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more

depending upon your anatomical features

and the region on your face that requires

treatment For skin tightening there is

Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening

and Thermi RF for skin tightening In

fact before Dr Tehrani committed to

Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke

with many patients to find it was a nice

niche for loose skin With just few days of

downtime and wonderful skin tightening

results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but

to invest in the technology Thermi even

works well for other applications such as

for gentlemen who lose weight but are

bothered by a pouch that they want to get

rid of

ldquoIn terms of what is most

misunderstood by consumers about

plastic surgery the answer is two

fold according to Dr Tehrani In

general many are misinformed about

injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers

to know that injectables are a highly

technique driven procedures Also

cosmetic procedures are not just for

the rich and famous Many consider

cosmetic procedures just as routine

as hair and nails understanding its

clinical and professional elementsrdquo

The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into

better balance and by so doing not

only improve a face and body but also

achieve something deeper and more

far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of

leveraged self-esteem and a positive

self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

board certified plastic surgeon who can

bring your goals to fruition A preventative

approach before aging sets in is wisest

to commence in the late 20rsquos and early

30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve

your youthful skin for up to 20 years

Depending upon the extent of aging on

your face you may need to blend different

treatment protocols each of which does

one or two things therapeutically but

none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging

tends to initially show around your eyes

at the corners of your mouth in the lines

between your eyes and your nose or your

nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers

and neuro-modulators can do their best

work The good news is that today you

can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or

you and Dr Tehrani can work together to

come up with the approach most likely to

give you the youthful vibrant appearance

that you deserve hellip naturally

Dr Tehrani is dialed in to all that you

need Not only board certified by the

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain

of Youthrdquo many have experienced the

wonderful rejuvenating benefits from

facial and bodily procedures designed to

enhance your appearance Add to this

the enhancement that many experience

in their intimate social and professional

aspects of life it is no wonder that

cosmetic procedures are popular

especially for those who want to stay

ahead of aging Now you can reap the

rewards of lessons learned in previous

years to benefit from the many cutting

edge advancements with Cosmetic

Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr

Tehrani is considered a top rated board

certified plastic surgeon who graduated

from school following training that

offered the gold standard approaches

Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current

on all of the latest techniques and

technology to specialize in all of the

best facial and body procedures at his

practice for over twelve years As he

explained ldquoYou really need to be on the

frontlines to offer the best approaches

and to deliver the best results I take

pride in exceeding expectations in

this area I take time to investigate

new technology and techniques to sift

through those that are tried and true so

I can reproduce optimal results in my

practice I am a perfectionist to a fault

Many people interested in aesthetic

procedures today opt for minimally and

non-invasive approaches that do not

require downtime My mission has been

to meet this request and I do so with the

assistance of less invasive technology

At my practice it is not uncommon for

women interested in a tummy tuck to

receive liposuction and laser therapy

instead of the more invasive tummy tuck

when possible Instead of a traditional

invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be

less invasive In short I am a patient

advocate I have a reputation to maintain

and my patients trust me as their

advocaterdquo

When queried about anti-aging Dr

Tehrani offered his Top Tips This

includes weight control through proper

diet and exercise hormonal balance

vitamin D efficiency which when

deficient can adversely affect weight

and maintaining the health of cells

through vitamins andor supplements

Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical

hormones to the mix of his offerings

His PA performs an extensive panel

to obtain readings on your hormone

levels antioxidant counts heavy metal

screening and a physical exam to develop

the precise formulation you will need to

optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also

believes that environmental factors can

play a significant role in aging As such

he advocates for daily year round sun

protection and daily cleansing with a

bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or

Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise

to consider injectables for around your

eyes between your brows and on your

forehead before aging sets in This will

prevents facial creases in these areas

Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose

for building volume in your cheeks or

filling in smile lines As such there is a

host to choose from including Juvederm

reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more

depending upon your anatomical features

and the region on your face that requires

treatment For skin tightening there is

Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening

and Thermi RF for skin tightening In

fact before Dr Tehrani committed to

Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke

with many patients to find it was a nice

niche for loose skin With just few days of

downtime and wonderful skin tightening

results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but

to invest in the technology Thermi even

works well for other applications such as

for gentlemen who lose weight but are

bothered by a pouch that they want to get

rid of

ldquoIn terms of what is most

misunderstood by consumers about

plastic surgery the answer is two

fold according to Dr Tehrani In

general many are misinformed about

injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers

to know that injectables are a highly

technique driven procedures Also

cosmetic procedures are not just for

the rich and famous Many consider

cosmetic procedures just as routine

as hair and nails understanding its

clinical and professional elementsrdquo

The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into

better balance and by so doing not

only improve a face and body but also

achieve something deeper and more

far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of

leveraged self-esteem and a positive

self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

board certified plastic surgeon who can

bring your goals to fruition A preventative

approach before aging sets in is wisest

to commence in the late 20rsquos and early

30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve

your youthful skin for up to 20 years

Depending upon the extent of aging on

your face you may need to blend different

treatment protocols each of which does

one or two things therapeutically but

none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging

tends to initially show around your eyes

at the corners of your mouth in the lines

between your eyes and your nose or your

nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers

and neuro-modulators can do their best

work The good news is that today you

can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or

you and Dr Tehrani can work together to

come up with the approach most likely to

give you the youthful vibrant appearance

that you deserve hellip naturally

Dr Tehrani is dialed in to all that you

need Not only board certified by the

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain

of Youthrdquo many have experienced the

wonderful rejuvenating benefits from

facial and bodily procedures designed to

enhance your appearance Add to this

the enhancement that many experience

in their intimate social and professional

aspects of life it is no wonder that

cosmetic procedures are popular

especially for those who want to stay

ahead of aging Now you can reap the

rewards of lessons learned in previous

years to benefit from the many cutting

edge advancements with Cosmetic

Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr

Tehrani is considered a top rated board

certified plastic surgeon who graduated

from school following training that

offered the gold standard approaches

Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current

on all of the latest techniques and

technology to specialize in all of the

best facial and body procedures at his

practice for over twelve years As he

explained ldquoYou really need to be on the

frontlines to offer the best approaches

and to deliver the best results I take

pride in exceeding expectations in

this area I take time to investigate

new technology and techniques to sift

through those that are tried and true so

I can reproduce optimal results in my

practice I am a perfectionist to a fault

Many people interested in aesthetic

procedures today opt for minimally and

non-invasive approaches that do not

require downtime My mission has been

to meet this request and I do so with the

assistance of less invasive technology

At my practice it is not uncommon for

women interested in a tummy tuck to

receive liposuction and laser therapy

instead of the more invasive tummy tuck

when possible Instead of a traditional

invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be

less invasive In short I am a patient

advocate I have a reputation to maintain

and my patients trust me as their

advocaterdquo

When queried about anti-aging Dr

Tehrani offered his Top Tips This

includes weight control through proper

diet and exercise hormonal balance

vitamin D efficiency which when

deficient can adversely affect weight

and maintaining the health of cells

through vitamins andor supplements

Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical

hormones to the mix of his offerings

His PA performs an extensive panel

to obtain readings on your hormone

levels antioxidant counts heavy metal

screening and a physical exam to develop

the precise formulation you will need to

optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also

believes that environmental factors can

play a significant role in aging As such

he advocates for daily year round sun

protection and daily cleansing with a

bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or

Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise

to consider injectables for around your

eyes between your brows and on your

forehead before aging sets in This will

prevents facial creases in these areas

Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose

for building volume in your cheeks or

filling in smile lines As such there is a

host to choose from including Juvederm

reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more

depending upon your anatomical features

and the region on your face that requires

treatment For skin tightening there is

Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening

and Thermi RF for skin tightening In

fact before Dr Tehrani committed to

Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke

with many patients to find it was a nice

niche for loose skin With just few days of

downtime and wonderful skin tightening

results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but

to invest in the technology Thermi even

works well for other applications such as

for gentlemen who lose weight but are

bothered by a pouch that they want to get

rid of

ldquoIn terms of what is most

misunderstood by consumers about

plastic surgery the answer is two

fold according to Dr Tehrani In

general many are misinformed about

injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers

to know that injectables are a highly

technique driven procedures Also

cosmetic procedures are not just for

the rich and famous Many consider

cosmetic procedures just as routine

as hair and nails understanding its

clinical and professional elementsrdquo

The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into

better balance and by so doing not

only improve a face and body but also

achieve something deeper and more

far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of

leveraged self-esteem and a positive

self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

bring your goals to fruition A preventative

approach before aging sets in is wisest

30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve

your youthful skin for up to 20 years

Depending upon the extent of aging on

your face you may need to blend different

treatment protocols each of which does

one or two things therapeutically but

none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging

tends to initially show around your eyes

at the corners of your mouth in the lines

between your eyes and your nose or your

nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers

and neuro-modulators can do their best

work The good news is that today you

can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or

you and Dr Tehrani can work together to

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

circles and other aging lines with a

procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a

warm moist massage that I wish would

never endrdquo But end it does and when it

does the patient looks naturally younger

more well-rested and even happier than

prior to the treatmentrdquo

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built

around three primary tools First therersquos

the heat applicator a wand-like radio

frequency (RF) device that actually

places the heat on or just under the

skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt

the tissues being treated Next is a

sophisticated infrared video camera

that linked to a large flat screen monitor

allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact

temperature in real time guiding his

every move Finally Thermi provides

doctors with a specially-developed

computer to help regulate the

heat second by second

centimeter by centimeter

as the doctor provides

pinpoint treatment

that shrinks skin

paralyzes ldquowrinkle-

causingrdquo nerves

and softens and

relaxes the

tissues around

the eyes

ldquoWe have not only created this

technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe

created a Clinical Advisory Council of

advanced physicians ndash men and women

who have the soul of researchers every

patient-care therapists These

remarkable physicians have helped us

to develop medically-sound treatment

our-technology physicians transition

quickly into skilled Thermi professionals

These new physicians often become

active members of our Council as well

adding their own patient care ideas and

innovations to the cause of helping all of

our physicians meet all of their patients

needs

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain

of Youthrdquo many have experienced the

wonderful rejuvenating benefits from

facial and bodily procedures designed to

enhance your appearance Add to this

the enhancement that many experience

in their intimate social and professional

aspects of life it is no wonder that

cosmetic procedures are popular

especially for those who want to stay

ahead of aging Now you can reap the

rewards of lessons learned in previous

years to benefit from the many cutting

edge advancements with Cosmetic

Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr

Tehrani is considered a top rated board

certified plastic surgeon who graduated

from school following training that

offered the gold standard approaches

Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current

on all of the latest techniques and

technology to specialize in all of the

best facial and body procedures at his

practice for over twelve years As he

explained ldquoYou really need to be on the

frontlines to offer the best approaches

and to deliver the best results I take

pride in exceeding expectations in

this area I take time to investigate

new technology and techniques to sift

through those that are tried and true so

I can reproduce optimal results in my

practice I am a perfectionist to a fault

Many people interested in aesthetic

procedures today opt for minimally and

non-invasive approaches that do not

require downtime My mission has been

to meet this request and I do so with the

assistance of less invasive technology

At my practice it is not uncommon for

women interested in a tummy tuck to

receive liposuction and laser therapy

instead of the more invasive tummy tuck

when possible Instead of a traditional

invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be

less invasive In short I am a patient

advocate I have a reputation to maintain

and my patients trust me as their

advocaterdquo

When queried about anti-aging Dr

Tehrani offered his Top Tips This

includes weight control through proper

diet and exercise hormonal balance

vitamin D efficiency which when

deficient can adversely affect weight

and maintaining the health of cells

through vitamins andor supplements

Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical

hormones to the mix of his offerings

His PA performs an extensive panel

to obtain readings on your hormone

levels antioxidant counts heavy metal

screening and a physical exam to develop

the precise formulation you will need to

optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also

believes that environmental factors can

play a significant role in aging As such

he advocates for daily year round sun

protection and daily cleansing with a

bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or

Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise

to consider injectables for around your

eyes between your brows and on your

forehead before aging sets in This will

prevents facial creases in these areas

Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose

for building volume in your cheeks or

filling in smile lines As such there is a

host to choose from including Juvederm

reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more

depending upon your anatomical features

and the region on your face that requires

treatment For skin tightening there is

Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening

and Thermi RF for skin tightening In

fact before Dr Tehrani committed to

Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke

with many patients to find it was a nice

niche for loose skin With just few days of

downtime and wonderful skin tightening

results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but

to invest in the technology Thermi even

works well for other applications such as

for gentlemen who lose weight but are

bothered by a pouch that they want to get

rid of

ldquoIn terms of what is most

misunderstood by consumers about

plastic surgery the answer is two

fold according to Dr Tehrani In

general many are misinformed about

injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers

to know that injectables are a highly

technique driven procedures Also

cosmetic procedures are not just for

the rich and famous Many consider

cosmetic procedures just as routine

as hair and nails understanding its

clinical and professional elementsrdquo

The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into

better balance and by so doing not

only improve a face and body but also

achieve something deeper and more

far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of

leveraged self-esteem and a positive

self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

board certified plastic surgeon who can

bring your goals to fruition A preventative

approach before aging sets in is wisest

to commence in the late 20rsquos and early

30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve

your youthful skin for up to 20 years

Depending upon the extent of aging on

your face you may need to blend different

treatment protocols each of which does

one or two things therapeutically but

none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging

tends to initially show around your eyes

at the corners of your mouth in the lines

between your eyes and your nose or your

nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers

and neuro-modulators can do their best

work The good news is that today you

can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or

you and Dr Tehrani can work together to

come up with the approach most likely to

give you the youthful vibrant appearance

that you deserve hellip naturally

Dr Tehrani is dialed in to all that you

need Not only board certified by the

American Board of Plastic Surgery Dr

Tehrani is a fellow of the American College

of Surgeons He is the founder and

director of Aristocrat Plastic Surgery amp

Medaesthetics with offices in Manhattan

and Great Neck Long Island He is

SUNY Downstate Medical Center and is

Surgery He continued his postgraduate

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

Maurice P Sherman MD

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain

of Youthrdquo many have experienced the

wonderful rejuvenating benefits from

facial and bodily procedures designed to

enhance your appearance Add to this

the enhancement that many experience

in their intimate social and professional

aspects of life it is no wonder that

cosmetic procedures are popular

especially for those who want to stay

ahead of aging Now you can reap the

rewards of lessons learned in previous

years to benefit from the many cutting

edge advancements with Cosmetic

Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr

Tehrani is considered a top rated board

certified plastic surgeon who graduated

from school following training that

offered the gold standard approaches

Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current

on all of the latest techniques and

technology to specialize in all of the

best facial and body procedures at his

practice for over twelve years As he

explained ldquoYou really need to be on the

frontlines to offer the best approaches

and to deliver the best results I take

pride in exceeding expectations in

this area I take time to investigate

new technology and techniques to sift

through those that are tried and true so

I can reproduce optimal results in my

practice I am a perfectionist to a fault

Many people interested in aesthetic

procedures today opt for minimally and

non-invasive approaches that do not

require downtime My mission has been

to meet this request and I do so with the

assistance of less invasive technology

At my practice it is not uncommon for

women interested in a tummy tuck to

receive liposuction and laser therapy

instead of the more invasive tummy tuck

when possible Instead of a traditional

invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be

less invasive In short I am a patient

advocate I have a reputation to maintain

and my patients trust me as their

advocaterdquo

When queried about anti-aging Dr

Tehrani offered his Top Tips This

includes weight control through proper

diet and exercise hormonal balance

vitamin D efficiency which when

deficient can adversely affect weight

and maintaining the health of cells

through vitamins andor supplements

Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical

hormones to the mix of his offerings

His PA performs an extensive panel

to obtain readings on your hormone

levels antioxidant counts heavy metal

screening and a physical exam to develop

the precise formulation you will need to

optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also

believes that environmental factors can

play a significant role in aging As such

he advocates for daily year round sun

protection and daily cleansing with a

bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or

Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise

to consider injectables for around your

eyes between your brows and on your

forehead before aging sets in This will

prevents facial creases in these areas

Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose

for building volume in your cheeks or

filling in smile lines As such there is a

host to choose from including Juvederm

reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more

depending upon your anatomical features

and the region on your face that requires

treatment For skin tightening there is

Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening

and Thermi RF for skin tightening In

fact before Dr Tehrani committed to

Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke

with many patients to find it was a nice

niche for loose skin With just few days of

downtime and wonderful skin tightening

results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but

to invest in the technology Thermi even

works well for other applications such as

for gentlemen who lose weight but are

bothered by a pouch that they want to get

rid of

ldquoIn terms of what is most

misunderstood by consumers about

plastic surgery the answer is two

fold according to Dr Tehrani In

general many are misinformed about

injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers

to know that injectables are a highly

technique driven procedures Also

cosmetic procedures are not just for

the rich and famous Many consider

cosmetic procedures just as routine

as hair and nails understanding its

clinical and professional elementsrdquo

The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into

better balance and by so doing not

only improve a face and body but also

achieve something deeper and more

far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of

leveraged self-esteem and a positive

self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

board certified plastic surgeon who can

bring your goals to fruition A preventative

approach before aging sets in is wisest

to commence in the late 20rsquos and early

30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve

your youthful skin for up to 20 years

Depending upon the extent of aging on

your face you may need to blend different

treatment protocols each of which does

one or two things therapeutically but

none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging

tends to initially show around your eyes

at the corners of your mouth in the lines

between your eyes and your nose or your

nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers

and neuro-modulators can do their best

work The good news is that today you

can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or

you and Dr Tehrani can work together to

come up with the approach most likely to

give you the youthful vibrant appearance

that you deserve hellip naturally

Dr Tehrani is dialed in to all that you

need Not only board certified by the

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade

totally non-invasive application of gentle

heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built

around three primary tools First therersquos

frequency (RF) device that actually

places the heat on or just under the

skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt

the tissues being treated Next is a

sophisticated infrared video camera

temperature in real time guiding his

every move Finally Thermi provides

doctors with a specially-developed

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade

OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical

totally non-invasive application of gentle

heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade

OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical

totally non-invasive application of gentle

heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a

warm moist massage that I wish would

does the patient looks naturally younger

more well-rested and even happier than

prior to the treatmentrdquo

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built

around three primary tools First therersquos

the heat applicator a wand-like radio

frequency (RF) device that actually

places the heat on or just under the

skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt

the tissues being treated Next is a

sophisticated infrared video camera

that linked to a large flat screen monitor

allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact

temperature in real time guiding his

every move Finally Thermi provides

doctors with a specially-developed

computer to help regulate the

heat second by second

centimeter by centimeter

as the doctor provides

pinpoint treatment

that shrinks skin

paralyzes ldquowrinkle-

causingrdquo nerves

and softens and

relaxes the

tissues around

ldquoWe have not only created this

technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe

created a Clinical Advisory Council of

advanced physicians ndash men and women

who have the soul of researchers every

patient-care therapists These

remarkable physicians have helped us

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

Maurice P Sherman MD

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade

totally non-invasive application of gentle

heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

does the patient looks naturally younger

more well-rested and even happier than

prior to the treatmentrdquo

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built

around three primary tools First therersquos

the heat applicator a wand-like radio

frequency (RF) device that actually

places the heat on or just under the

skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt

the tissues being treated Next is a

sophisticated infrared video camera

that linked to a large flat screen monitor

allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact

temperature in real time guiding his

every move Finally Thermi provides

doctors with a specially-developed

computer to help regulate the

heat second by second

pinpoint treatment

Maurice P Sherman MD

President of thermiAesthetics

The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging

Today for instance face lifts ndash once

being sought after by women as young

as their late 30s are now the final

level of beauty care for those who have

entered their sixties and beyond

This tidal wave of change has been

driven by new technologies ndash each of

them was revolutionary in their day but

today most of them now increasingly

limited to those with severe cosmetic

needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or

even liposuction for many needs ndash less

drastic gentler and far more effective

treatments are becoming the norm

In addition the profile of the cosmetic

and aesthetic patient has changed

Where once she was 45-plus with

increasingly serious signs of personal

aging she is now both he-and-she and

they often begin in their 20s There are

now three distinct age groups where

patients receive different care each

type of care specifically intended for

their age group and natural anti-aging

needs

The youngest are in their 20s up to age

35 and their care is primarily on the

surface though they will also receive

Botox or other neuro-modulators along

with fillers to reshape the flow of the

skin to retain a more naturally youthful

appearance Microdermabrasion

chemical peels laser skin treatments

and a host of other tech-driven care also

serves the needs of those in their 20s

and early 30s

From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range

which has seen the most benefit

from technological breakthroughs ndash

superficial treatments and minimally-

invasive Botox and fillers can no longer

effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the

apparent natural aging of the skin Here

is where technology-driven treatments

to literally shrink the skin ndash as well

as providing much longer-lasting tech

alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash

to sustain and even reverse the natural

appearance of aging

Finally for those above age 55 the

needs of aging skin often call for

surgical treatments to remove or tighten

sagging skin suffering from an excess of

laxity But even here both the Botox

filler regimen and the subcutaneous

skin-tightening treatments that were

useful when patients were younger can

still work in cooperation with the surgery

to provide the maximum natural-looking

benefits for patients

While all of this is important those

new technologies allowing patients to

take advantage of totally non-invasive

surface-level dermatology treatments

along with minimally-invasive

treatments that work right under the

surface of the skin ndash this is where the

real breakthroughs are being made

Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of

ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging

leader in the tech-driven fields of

skin tightening technology-based

alternatives to Botox and even to

previously-impossible surface-only

skin tightening in delicate areas

such as around the eyes His

companyrsquos technology is all based

around the use of focused radio

frequency energy to literally place a

carefully metered level of heat to a

precise location where that heat can do

the most good

ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved

technology does one of three thingsrdquo

OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular

treatment ThermiTighttrade actually

tightens the skin tissue while literally

melting fat cells It is used primarily in

the lower face the neck the arms and

other problem areas It can replace

liposuction ndash but more important it can

tighten skin and remove fat in areas

never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments

ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo

he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-

injectable way of putting just the right

amount of therapeutic heat on selected

nerves to accomplish what Botox

achieves ndash but our treatments last for

years not months as they take away

frown lines restoring a peaceful and

more youthful look

ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade

OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical

totally non-invasive application of gentle

heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

often around the eyes It removes

circles and other aging lines with a

procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a

warm moist massage that I wish would

never endrdquo But end it does and when it

does the patient looks naturally younger

more well-rested and even happier than

prior to the treatmentrdquo

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built

around three primary tools First therersquos

the heat applicator a wand-like radio

frequency (RF) device that actually

places the heat on or just under the

skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt

the tissues being treated Next is a

sophisticated infrared video camera

that linked to a large flat screen monitor

allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact

temperature in real time guiding his

every move Finally Thermi provides

doctors with a specially-developed

computer to help regulate the

heat second by second

centimeter by centimeter

as the doctor provides

pinpoint treatment

that shrinks skin

paralyzes ldquowrinkle-

causingrdquo nerves

and softens and

relaxes the

tissues around

the eyes

ldquoWe have not only created this

technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe

created a Clinical Advisory Council of

advanced physicians ndash men and women

who have the soul of researchers every

bit as much as they are committed

patient-care therapists These

remarkable physicians have helped us

to develop medically-sound treatment

protocols as well as helping new-to-

our-technology physicians transition

quickly into skilled Thermi professionals

These new physicians often become

active members of our Council as well

adding their own patient care ideas and

innovations to the cause of helping all of

our physicians meet all of their patients

needs

ldquoWe and all of our physicians are

driven by what physicians call the

ldquoholy grailrdquo of aesthetic medical care

ndash the three things that every patient

looks for hellip and hopes for Measurable

Little or no down-time and No painrdquo

ldquoFollowing guidelines established by

said ldquophysicians can insure that their

often around the eyes It removes

circles and other aging lines with a

procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a

warm moist massage that I wish would

never endrdquo But end it does and when it

does the patient looks naturally younger

more well-rested and even happier than

prior to the treatmentrdquo

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built

around three primary tools First therersquos

the heat applicator a wand-like radio

frequency (RF) device that actually

places the heat on or just under the

skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt

the tissues being treated Next is a

sophisticated infrared video camera

that linked to a large flat screen monitor

allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact

temperature in real time guiding his

every move Finally Thermi provides

doctors with a specially-developed

computer to help regulate the

heat second by second

centimeter by centimeter

as the doctor provides

pinpoint treatment

that shrinks skin

causingrdquo nerves

and softens and

relaxes the

tissues around

ldquoWe have not only created this

technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe

created a Clinical Advisory Council of

advanced physicians ndash men and women

who have the soul of researchers every

bit as much as they are committed

patient-care therapists These

remarkable physicians have helped us

to develop medically-sound treatment

protocols as well as helping new-to-

our-technology physicians transition

quickly into skilled Thermi professionals

These new physicians often become

active members of our Council as well

adding their own patient care ideas and

innovations to the cause of helping all of

our physicians meet all of their patients

needs

ldquoWe and all of our physicians are

driven by what physicians call the

ldquoholy grailrdquo of aesthetic medical care

said ldquophysicians can insure that their

patient treatments are painless Based

on our refined technology there is

little or no down time even for the

often around the eyes It removes

circles and other aging lines with a

procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a

warm moist massage that I wish would

never endrdquo But end it does and when it

does the patient looks naturally younger

more well-rested and even happier than

prior to the treatmentrdquo

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built

around three primary tools First therersquos

the heat applicator a wand-like radio

frequency (RF) device that actually

places the heat on or just under the

skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt

the tissues being treated Next is a

sophisticated infrared video camera

that linked to a large flat screen monitor

allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact

temperature in real time guiding his

every move Finally Thermi provides

doctors with a specially-developed

computer to help regulate the

heat second by second

centimeter by centimeter

as the doctor provides

pinpoint treatment

that shrinks skin

paralyzes ldquowrinkle-

causingrdquo nerves

and softens and

relaxes the

tissues around

the eyes

ldquoWe have not only created this

technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe

created a Clinical Advisory Council of

advanced physicians ndash men and women

who have the soul of researchers every

bit as much as they are committed

patient-care therapists These

remarkable physicians have helped us

to develop medically-sound treatment

protocols as well as helping new-to-

our-technology physicians transition

quickly into skilled Thermi professionals

These new physicians often become

active members of our Council as well

adding their own patient care ideas and

innovations to the cause of helping all of

our physicians meet all of their patients

needs

ldquoWe and all of our physicians are

driven by what physicians call the

ldquoholy grailrdquo of aesthetic medical care

ndash the three things that every patient

looks for hellip and hopes for Measurable

effectiveness seen almost immediately

Little or no down-time and No painrdquo

ldquoFollowing guidelines established by

our Clinical Advisory Councilrdquo OrsquoBrien

said ldquophysicians can insure that their

patient treatments are painless Based

on our refined technology there is

little or no down time even for the

most intensive treatments Finally

because of how RF treatments work

results are seen almost immediately

and they stay visible for at least a year

and often much longer In addition

repeat treatments have been proven to

not only make their effect known more

quickly but to last longerrdquo
