Women and men in their 40's often start to see some sagging in their lower jawline. They've been using botox religiously to keep wrinkles at bay, and perhaps a wrinkle filler to plump the lips and maybe a little filler like Juvederm in the face to give the face a lift, but it's not always easy to find a solution for the lower face, jawline and neck. I'm very excited that we are the first to bring the new Pelleve wrinkle reduction treatment to Boise, Idaho!
Pelleve wrinkle reduction treatment is the newest innovation in skin tightening. FDA cleared to treat facial wrinkles without surgery, this treatment uses advanced radiowave technology. The Pelleve system precisely heats the deep layers of the skin without damaging the epidermis. The heat causes the collagen in the skin to contract and tighten. After the treatment, the skin begins to produce new collagen, which improves the firmness. No anesthesia is required and patients can return to work immediately after the procedure. Many clients see results after just one treatment, with improvements up to six months later. Facial treatments take only an hour. Pelleve fits easily into busy schedules.
This treatment may allow a patient to postpone a face lift for ten years!
I had heard rumors that you could buy Botox "do it yourself kits" on line but frankly I didn't believe it. I was stunned to find that it is true. Not only botox but dermal fillers as well. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind if you are the "do it yourself" kind of person.
It is illegal to sell and illegal to buy without a prescription.
Such operations can and will be shut down. You could loose your investment as well as be prosecuted.
The pricing is so low that the products can not be legitimate. The wholesale cost to physicians with bulk discounting is 2-3 times what these wesites are offering. I don't like the fact that these raw products are so expensive either, but that is the market pricing.
These ares not FDA approved BOTOX or dermal fillers. What is it? Who knows.
I've done thousand of injections. Its one thing to inject someone else, a completely different thing to inject yourself in a mirror. Everything is reversed and you lose depth perception.
Ask yourself this question. Would you want the doctor injecting you to be experiencing the pain of injection right at the moment he or she is focusing on making an artistically placed injection in you.
My moto is "you can't rush art", and you sure can't make good art while under the stress of self inflicted pain.
MANSFIELD -- Undercover officers raided the home of a Mansfield woman who they say was selling do-it-yourself wrinkle treatments.
Police confiscated boxes, computers and more at the home of Laurie D'Alleva. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott charged the Tarrant County woman with illegally offering prescription drugs -- including botulinum toxin (Botox) injections -- without a license.
The legal action also alleges that D'Alleva operated illegal Web sites to market her products. The state obtained a restraining order to keep her from selling the drugs and shut down her Internet sites, Discount Medspa and Ontario MedSpa.
The sites included video demonstrations of how to use the prescription drugs, along with customer tesimonials about the results they were getting.
Doctors caution that self-injecting or taking any drug without the authorization of a doctor can be harmful -- even deadly.
The state said D’Alleva falsely claimed that her membership in the "Texas Medical Council" authorized her to sell prescription-only products. There is no such organization.
According to court documents, undercover investigators bought a “Newbie Starter Kit” from D'Alleva which contained the prescription Restylane in a filled syringe. They also purchased Dysport and Freeze, both of which contain purified neurotoxins, which are used for wrinkle-reduction.
Empty syringes, needles and other pharmaceuticals were also seized at D'Alleva's home.
Residents of the quiet Mansfield neighborhood said they were surprised when they saw officers entering the residence.
"I thought she was a housewife," said Dana Child.
The Attorney General's office is seeking civil penalties of up to $25,000 per violation per day.
The Art of Medicine.
I am a board certified, Mayo Clinic trained physician with over 20 years of Anesthesia and Emergency Medicine experience. For the past 12 years I have developed an aesthetic and cosmetic practice at Silk Touch MedSpa & Laser Center in Eagle Idaho.
“Aesthetic medicine has allowed me to combine my medical training and experience with my passion for art. I feel the same satisfaction in helping my clients achieve the look they want as I do when painting or sculpting.
If you are considering Laser Assisted Liposuction (Smartlipo), finding someone with the right medical expertise is important, but finding a skilled physician with an artistic eye is not as simple. After all, this procedures is as much about artistic talent as it is about medicine.”
