Highly Regarded San Diego Dermatologist William Groff, DO, Travels To Pennsylvania To Teach Advanced Injection Training Course

San Diego, California (PRWEB) April 30, 2013

Dr. William Groff, respected dermatologist in San Diego, traveled to York, Pennsylvania this past week to teach an advanced injection training course on behalf of Allergan Inc., the makers of the popular injectable treatments Botox and Juvederm. The course focused on providing others in the cosmetic field with a better understanding of how to achieve optimal patient results through highly-developed injection techniques and placements.

The key to injecting toxins and fillers is to achieve a subtle result by carefully placing the cosmetic product. We never want a patient to look like theyve had work done, but instead, to appear naturally youthful, said Dr. Groff, San Diego dermatologist.

This isnt the first time Dr. Groff has had the pleasure of teaching others and sharing his knowledge in highly specialized injection approaches, as he serves as a trainer and key opinion leader for the Allergan company. In addition, Dr. Groff has traveled the world to share his expertise in regards to other popular non-invasive cosmetic products including facial fillers Restylane, Perlane, Dysport, Radiesse, Belotero, and Xeomin.

To be able to travel and teach others in the cosmetic field is a great experience to have. Im extremely humbled to be able to do what I do because it keeps me at the forefront of new advancements in non-invasive treatments, said Dr. Groff.

At GBFG&F Cosmetic Laser Dermatology center in San Diego, Dr. Groff helps his own patients overcome a number of skin troubles with Botox and dermal fillers that can occur as a result of the aging process, including wrinkles, fine lines, crows feet, and facial volume loss.

At my practice, Botox and facial fillers are often the go-to procedure for patients who want to achieve a more youthful appearance without any type of surgery. I can combine Botox Cosmetic and different facial fillers to develop a customized treatment plan for each person, leaving them with an extremely natural and refreshed look, said Dr. Groff. "This procedure has recently been dubbed a 'liquid facelift.'"

Dermatologists in San Diego Say Botox is a Safe & Effective Treatment for Migraine & Tension Headache Relief

San Diego, California (PRWEB) May 08, 2013

According to recent reports and additional testing, Botox injections continue to prove safe and effective for the treatment of migraines and tension headaches. At the highly-respected center of Goldman, Butterwick, Fitzpatrick, Groff & Fabi Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego, respected dermatologist Dr. Butterwick explains exactly how Botox can be used to mitigate the condition.

There are specific points that are typically injected to alleviate tension headaches that include the scalp and back of the head. Botox works to temporarily freeze these muscles and areas, which in turn result in less head and neck pain for the individual treated, said board certified dermatologist Kimberly Butterwick, MD.

In the new article, neurologists explain that patients who receive Botox injections to treat migraines and tension headaches generally undergo treatments once every 12 weeks to see the best results. Sufferers of migraines, which are often a debilitating and ongoing frustration affecting 12% of Americans, can first try cosmetic injections before undergoing the typical protocol of 31 scalp injections.

A number of times before, Ive performed cosmetic Botox injections for patients to the glabella and theyve noted a tremendous improvement in headaches, said Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick, board certified dermatologist. Treating cosmetic areas like the forehead often requires much less Botox than scalp injections, typically between only 6-8."

At GBFG&F Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, undergoing Botox in San Diego for tension headaches can also bring an added benefit for patientsthe diminishment of unwanted facial wrinkles around the forehead and eyes. As Dr. Butterwick explains, Botox can act as a two-in-one treatment.

A lot of times, patients come in for cosmetic Botox injections and are completely unaware that it could also help any headaches theyre experiencing., said Dr. Butterwick, San Diego Dermatologist. Its like patients are actually buying one treatment and getting another free. When headaches happen as a result of scrunching your face throughout the day, Botox will temporarily freeze the muscles responsible for this, making frown lines disappear and improving headaches.

San Diego Plastic Surgeon Now Offers Exilis Elite

San Diego CA (PRWEB) May 28, 2013

Moradi M.D., an aesthetics practice headed by Dr. Amir Moradi, a San Diego plastic surgeon, is pleased to announce that Exilis ELITE has been added to their already robust menu of facial and body contouring treatments.

For some patients, surgery may not be the first or most desirable option for treatment. This is the very reason we offer these patients a non-invasive alternative such as Exilis, and now Exilis ELITE, says Amir Moradi, M.D.

The Exilis ELITE, by BTL Aesthetics, was introduced at the American Academy of Dermatology in March 2013 as the next generation Exilis device for reducing wrinkles and treating skin laxity. This comfortable, yet powerful treatment, is commonly performed on facial and body areas. This San Diego plastic surgeon is pleased to offer the latest update for the already successful Exilis.

The Exilis has long had a well-defined position in Moradi M.D.s Body Contouring Center. With the Exilis ELITE re-engineered to meet patient demand for better, faster and safer face and body rejuvenation in fewer treatment sessions they expect more patients will seek out this innovative treatment for that purpose, as well as an anti-aging tool.

Patient feedback and satisfaction with our previous Exilis was outstanding. The new technological developments that come with the ELITE will only create a more satisfactory outcome, says the San Diego plastic surgeon, Dr. Amir Moradi.

Utilizing the dynamic monopolar radio frequency (RF) technology of the original Exilis system, Exilis ELITE enhances delivery of thermal energy by nearly twice as much, requiring only two to three treatments to obtain desired results. This higher level of efficacy is achieved by delivering maximum power and speed of high frequency radio waves using BTLs proprietary Energy Flow Control and Impedance Intelligence breakthroughs. These features provide very precise and uniform distribution of heat to the entire treatment area. ELITEs advanced cooling also allows for layering of RF energy at various depths.

The deposit and distribution of this heat into the skin stimulates new collagen formation as well as strengthening and tightening of the connective tissue bands that support the skins structure. The visual results to patients include tightening of lax skin, smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles and in some cases a lifting of the skin in the areas treated.

San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Moradi and his team at Moradi M.D., offer a large array of cosmetic services including; facial plastic surgery, dermal fillers and wrinkle reducers, laser treatments, body contouring and fat reduction, and medical grade skin care services and products. The physician and staff of Moradi M.D. pride themselves with providing patients with the utmost professional and personalized care. They strive to show their customers how they can look their best through affordable cosmetic enhancement and skin rejuvenation.

Landmark San Diego Dermatology Center Now Offering Cutting-Edge PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal Treatments

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 06, 2013

The highly respected dermatologists of Goldman, Butterwick, Fitzpatrick, Groff & Fabi Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego are pleased to announce the arrival of the newest and most advanced treatment for tattoo removal, the PicoSure laser. According to Dr. William Groff, laser expert at GBFG&F, the new PicoSure laser system is able to bring patients better outcomes in fewer treatments.

Because the PicoSure Laser system is able to target such specific areas in the skin to create a photomechanical impact, tattoos are disrupted in a much greater clearance than with any other treatment, said Dr. Groff. This is truly the best treatment for tattoo removal available.

The new PicoSure laser system is the first in the world to rely on picosecond technology. Unlike other tattoo removal lasers, the PicoSure system delivers quick pulses of energy to targeted areas of the skin at an astounding width nearly 100 times shorter than nanosecond technology. As Dr. Sabrina Fabi describes, dermatologists are now able to treat difficult, darker tattoos that may have left unwanted residue behind.

Tattoos with blue and green ink have historically been the toughest to fully remove. Now, with the PicoSure laser in San Diego, were able to break the tattoo into microscopic particles that the body can easily dispel, in half as many treatments as traditional Q-switched lasers said board certified dermatologist Sabrina Fabi, MD.

At GBFG&F in San Diego, the PicoSure laser can also be used to treat benign pigmented lesions, including hyperpigmentation, melasma, and unwanted discolored sunspots. Though each patient is unique, the number of treatments required for optimal results is greatly lowered with the advanced technology of the PicoSure laser.

Before the PicoSure laser, a patient may need 4-6 treatments to see the best results for the diminishment of tattoos or other pigment problems. Today, our patients see excellent results in as little as 2 treatments, said Dr. Groff.

Goldman, Butterwick, Fitzpatrick, Groff & Fabi: Cosmetic Laser Dermatology is a world-renowned aesthetic center in San Diego, California made up of five internationally distinguished skin care experts, including Mitchel P. Goldman, MD, Kimberly Butterwick, MD, Richard Fitzpatrick, MD, William Groff, DO, and Sabrina Fabi, MD.

Board Certified San Diego Dermatologist Sabrina G. Fabi, MD, Gives Ultherapy

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2013

Highly esteemed San Diego dermatologist Sabrina G. Fabi, MD, recently presented a workshop on Ultherapy to physicians in Bangkok, Singapore and Seoul. The workshop is part of an Asian tour in which Dr. Fabi demonstrated Ultherapy and lectured on its indications and benefits.

Ulthera's micro-focused ultrasound technology is truly state-of-the-art. Having had the opportunity to use and research it extensively, I am so glad to be able to share my technique and protocols with physicians around the world to optimize patient results and safety, said Dr. Fabi.

Skin-tightening Ulthera is a tissue lifting treatment in which ultrasound waves are delivered not just to the skin, but deep into the underlying tissues that are commonly targeted during surgery. The sound waves gently heat the tissue, resulting in the tightening of loose skin and a lifting effect. Ultherapy also encourages the creation of new collagen, which gives the skin a more youthful appearance.

Up until now, no technology has had the indication for a 'lift' and we had to rely on surgery to provide such results. I love that I can offer my patients a non-surgical alternative, that is not invasive and has no-downtime, said Dr. Fabi, renowned dermatologist in San Diego.

At GBFG&F Cosmetic Laser Dermatology center in San Diego, Dr. Fabi serves as the associate research director of the research department and has conducted several studies on Ultherapy over the last few years. By not only researching, but actively using Ultherapy in her practice, Dr. Fabi has been able to provide San Diego patients with aesthetically pleasing and natural results, without looking over done.

Shaft Medical San Diego now offers Prolite IPL Photo Rejuvenation to remove age spots.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 13, 2012

Shaft Medical San Diego, the areas leading aesthetic medicine practice providing the full range of advanced cosmetic procedures, now offers the FDA-approved Prolite IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) system for skin rejuvenation and reduction of unwanted skin pigmentation such as age spots.

Over time, natural skin aging and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes the skin to produce pigmentation irregularities. These areas, commonly known as age spots, are caused primarily by years of exposure to UV light from the sun and through use of commercial tanning lamps and tanning beds. Age spots, also called liver spots and solar lentigines, are flat gray, brown or black spots. They vary in size and usually appear on areas most exposed to the sun such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms. Your genetic makeup may also play a role in how susceptible you are to the development of age spots.

The pigment in the upper layer of skin (epidermis) that gives your skin its normal color is called melanin. UV light accelerates the production of melanin, creating a tan that helps protect deeper layers of skin from UV rays. On areas of the skin that have years of frequent and prolonged sun exposure, age spots appear when melanin becomes "clumped" or is produced in particularly high concentrations. In addition to sun exposure, simply becoming older can cause the extra production of melanin.

True age spots are harmless but they can look like cancerous growths. For cosmetic reasons, age spots can easily be lightened or removed. The Prolite IPL skin rejuvenation laser San Diego and La Jolla uses specific filters that deliver a series of gentle light pulses to the skin, targeting melanin and hemoglobin. The pulses can fire every two seconds allowing for the treatment of large areas such as the entire face, neck and d

Shaft Medical San Diego now offers PureLight Cellulite Heliotherapy, the latest laser technology for treating stubborn cellulite.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 18, 2012

Shaft Medical San Diego, the West Coasts leading aesthetic medicine practice, providing the full range of advanced cosmetic procedures and located in beautiful La Jolla California, now offers PureLight Cellulite Heliotherapy to treat stubborn cellulite.

Available only at Shaft Medical, PureLight Cellulite Heliotherapy San Diego and La Jolla is the remarkably effective non-invasive solution to cellulite that people have been waiting for.

Cellulite is a condition which affects more than 85% of women, even being apparent on very lean women, but rarely seen in males. It appears when fat cells just underneath the skin swell or enlarge and the collagen bands become brittle and no longer stretch properly. This is what causes the dimpled skin appearance. It is not a result of poor diet and exercise, or increased body fat as most people think. The development of cellulite is primarily caused by hormones, vascular changes, and inflammation.

PureLight produces a low level, or cold laser light that targets the membrane of the trapped fat cells that cause cellulite. The penetrating light energy then allows applied laser energy to eject the fat from the trapped cell so it can move into the body's natural waste removal system.

PureLight Cellulite Heliotherapy's new and innovative technology is non-invasive and UV free. It can be used to treat cellulite anywhere on the body and is safe to use on patients of all skin types. There are no side effects or sensitivity to sun and there is no downtime. Skin care products may be applied immediately after treatment, and patients can resume all normal activity.

PureLight treatments are painless and soothing and can provide visual results in as little as 48 hours. Patients will begin to see gradual tightening and smoothness of the skin. Each session takes about 45 minutes depending on the size and number of areas being treated. A total of 3 weekly sessions are recommended, however, additional sessions maybe required for resistant areas. Results depend on body weight and lifestyle. Proper diet and exercise regime will help maintain the results for up to several years.

In addition to the treatment of cellulite, PureLight Heliotherapy system has been found to restore the skin's natural and healthy appearance.

Dermatologist in San Diego Now Offers CoolSculpting

La Jolla, California (PRWEB) December 20, 2012

(December 2012) Dr. Susan M. Stuart, a board-certified dermatologist serving San Diego area women and men at La Jolla Dermatology, has expanded her cosmetic enhancement services to include the truly innovative fat-reduction treatment known as CoolSculpting.

A specialist in cosmetic skin treatments and dermatology near San Diego, Dr. Stuart uses CoolSculpting in La Jolla to help healthy women and men decrease stubborn fat pockets around the midsection, including "love handles," "muffin tops" and bulges on the lower abdomen.

"I often hear that diet and exercise aren't enough," says Dr. Stuart. "Now we have a solution for those frustrating bulges that don't go away.

"In the past, your options were to keep trying to burn off those trouble areas through diet and exercise, to just live with them, or to consider surgical procedures such as liposuction. With CoolSculpting, there is a new option: We can freeze that resistant fat away."

Using a process called Cryolipolysis, the FDA-cleared CoolSculpting procedure works from the outside to freeze fat cells on the inside. This non-invasive treatment requires no anesthetic injections.

The CoolSculpting hand-piece uses suction to draw the skin and tissue up between two cooling panels. Once activated, the panels infuse the area with a carefully monitored cold temperature that damages fat cells without harming the surrounding area. The fat cells in the treated area undergo an early death and are absorbed and eliminated through the body's natural metabolic processes.

"As a physician, it's my goal to offer effective treatments that cause as little pain and require as little recuperation time as possible," Dr. Stuart says. "CoolSculpting allows me to do that. I don't have to administer a single injection, and no surgery is involved. It's so incredibly simple. A single treatment can be completed in about 1 hour, and the results speak for themselves."

CoolSculpting has been shown to reduce fat in the treated area by up to 25%. For some people, a visible reduction in fat may occur as soon as 3 weeks. Final results will be visible after 3 to 4 months.

While some patients may experience minor post-treatment redness, bruising, swelling or numbness, these symptoms are temporary. No recuperation time is required, so CoolSculpting patients can return to their normal activities, including exercise, immediately following treatment.

San Diego Tanning Salon, Santanning Spa, Introduces Red Light Therapy Treatment

San Diego, Ca (PRWEB) January 22, 2013

Red Light Therapy has been receiving a lot of praises in recent years because of its beauty and therapeutic benefits. Promising full body and mind relaxation and rejuvenation, the customer-oriented San Diego tanning salon, Santanning Spa is quick to adopt the breakthrough treatment in their services.

It was NASA that first discovered the numerous benefits of Red Light Therapy. Today, red light therapy is known to be a non-invasive and cost-effective treatment for different skin problems and body pains or aches. Santanning Spa is among the very first tanning salons in San Diego to offer the benefits of RLT treatment.

Red Light Therapy has been making a big noise in the beauty industry with others claiming the breakthrough treatment as the elusive fountain of youth that many have searched for. The red light energizes and repairs damaged skin cells and at the same time stimulates the production of collagen and elastin therefore giving the skin a more youthful and rejuvenated look. It has been revealed that Red Light Therapy also promotes skin healing. People who have received Red Light Therapy treatment reported reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, age spots and sun spots as well as tighter and firmer skin. Aside from its anti-aging benefits, Red Light Therapy treatment also effectively addresses skin problems such as blemishes, redness, burns, acne scars, Athletes foot as well as skin disorders such as rosacea, eczema and psoriasis.

Pain relief is another benefit of Red Light Therapy treatment. Those who prefer non-invasive and drug-free pain relief treatment can opt for this breakthrough treatment instead. Infrared light has the ability to penetrate deep into the body to repair and regenerate cell components. It also triggers the production of brain chemicals known as endorphins which are our bodys natural pain and stress fighters. RLT works best in giving pain relief from herniated and bulging discs, back pains that are muscle related, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, pulled and strained muscles, inflammation as well as nerve injuries. Pain from common sports injuries such as sprains, tennis elbow and bone fractures can also be relieved through Red Light therapy treatment.

Innovative Laser Treatment Now Offered By Dermatologist in San Diego

La Jolla, California (PRWEB) February 21, 2013

Dr. Susan M. Stuart, a board-certified dermatologist in San Diego, is now offering some of the latest Fraxel technology at her practice. This revitalizing laser eliminates skin damage and promotes healthy collagen production without injuring the epidermis, or outer skin layer.

Dr. Stuart has offered Fraxel treatments for many years as part of her comprehensive approach to dermatology in San Diego. Her recent upgrade to the Fraxel Dual platform offers numerous advantages to her patients.

"Fraxel Dual is arguably the most advanced laser skin treatment currently available," Dr. Stuart says. "It's an extremely effective and efficient skin rejuvenation platform that works on every part of the body. We use it to correct lines, wrinkles, large pores, actinic keratosis, brown spots, melasma and a host of other issues."

One benefit of the new Fraxel platform is that it is comfortable and gentle, yet still effective. Fraxel requires minimal to no downtime because it goes to work deep below the skin's surface, Dr. Stuart says. "Fraxel gently penetrates the epidermis to make changes deeper in the dermis," she says. "The visible top layers of skin remain fairly intact."

For patients, this means less time away from their daily routine. "Earlier laser systems would often keep the patient out of the public eye for several days, or even weeks after a session due to the harshness of the laser and the healing involved," she says. "With this new dual-wavelength system, many patients return to regular activities immediately."

Patients treated with this new version of Fraxel in San Diego tend to appear sunburned after their sessions, Dr. Stuart says. "I tell my Fraxel patients to expect to look as if they've spent a little too much time outside," she says. "They might experience some redness, and their skin typically begins to peel - again, just like we see with a sunburn - after a day or two." Patients who choose the Fraxel Dual platform get the resurfacing benefits of a CO2 laser without the downtime or wound care.

Fraxel sessions last 30 minutes on average, Dr. Stuart says. Patients should also factor in an hour prior to their treatment for the application of a topical anesthetic, although this is often unnecessary with the improved comfort of Fraxel Dual. Following a treatment, patients' skin develops a healthier, softer and more toned appearance gradually over 2 weeks. While some patients choose to limit their Fraxel treatment to one office visit, others can maximize their results with 3 or 4 sessions spaced about a month apart.
