Microdermabrasion |
|
Dr. Robert Lowen is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is an experienced laser surgeon offering laser hair removal in the Silicon Valley.
When you look at your face in the mirror, do you sometimes wish you could just wave a wand over your skin and remove some of the imperfections—the fine lines, the age spots, the blackheads and enlarged pores, the superficial acne scarring? Well, microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic skin procedure that acts much like that magic wand. It removes the dead cells on the outermost layer (the stratum corneum) of the skin. What emerges is a smoother, more evenly textured new top layer of skin—one that appears younger, more vibrant.
There are two basic methods of microdermabrasion. One lightly “sands” the skin with tiny crystal particulates; the other gently scrapes off the dead cells with rotating paddles. These methods are being constantly refined to make them even more effective. Your doctor can discuss with you which method would be most appropriate for your individual skin type and skin problem. Call today for a personal consultation.

I first learned about SmartLipo when I called Dr. Lowen's office and his staff informed me about Smartlipo. I found that I was very interested in the procedure because I had this area that would just not seem to lose any weight. At first I was a little apprehensive about it since it is very new but then I noticed that it was mentioned in a few newspaper articles.
When I went to my appointment with Dr. Lowen it was explained in detail on what Smartlipo is...."little to no pain", very little down time PLUS it would tighten the area. That is what made me decide.
I had SmartLipo on my abdomen area on a Thursday morning and was fine that evening (you do have to take it very easy for the three days mentioned) but I could walk around with no pain. My abdomen feeling was sore (it felt like after doing stomach crunches for the first time). Also, I had no need to take any pain medication at all.
I had very good results immediately it has only been two weeks and I know it will just keep getting better. I have to mention that Dr. Lowen made me feel very comfortable and his staff are very friendly and warm. I am so happy that I don't have to "suck it in" ha-ha.
I am positive that if you chose to do Smartlipo you will not be disappointed!
Cheers,
P.S.

After treatment of my upper arms with Smartlipo MPX I went home and worked on my laptop. The next day I worked a full day. I never needed pain medication, not even an aspirin, and I'm one who feels every bit of pain. The procedure was straight-forward and easy, and I am very happy with the results.
I see huge improvement in my arms. They feel better in clothes, and it's an incredibly nice feeling. I have a photo of myself taken summer of 2007 where my left arm is reaching upwards. I loved the photo but hated how my upper arm looked so I paid someone $35 to carefully photoshop it so the ugly hanging fat was gone. I remember joking how paying a pro to doctor up a photo was way cheaper than paying a doctor for plastic surgery. But now I have everything because in pictures and in real life my arms look good and feel great. I can't wait for the warm weather to really show them off.
Today I did a boot-camp style workout in a gym class. It was a wonderful feeling in every way.
An added benefit: you'll love Dr. Lowen's staff. They are the best!
