			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em></em></strong><a href="http://denovomg.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/CS_WebHeader.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3069" title="CS_WebHeader" src="http://denovomg.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/CS_WebHeader.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="340" /></a><strong>Say goodbye to muffin tops and love handles.</strong><br />
CoolSculpting® is the coolest, most innovative, non-surgical way to lose those annoying bumps and bulges of stubborn fat. This revolutionary technology targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges. Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime. Patients often spend procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing. It’s safe, FDA-cleared and effective. Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months.</p>
<p><strong>What will the results be?</strong><br />
Many patients are satisfied after one treatment. However, during your consultation, we can discuss a treatment plan that will meet your specific treatment needs.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>What happens during the treatment?</strong><br />
To initiate the treatment we will position the device on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you’re done.</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-3068"></span>Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?</strong><br />
CoolSculpting is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.</p>
<p><strong>When will I see results?</strong><br />
You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body is still flushing fat cells and will continue doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.</p>
<p><strong>Are the results permanent?</strong><br />
During CoolSculpting, the treated fat cells are eliminated. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, long-term results should remain stable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://denovomg.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/MadonnaEyeLift_Crp.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3041" title="MadonnaEyeLift_Crp" src="http://denovomg.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/MadonnaEyeLift_Crp.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="340" /></a><strong><em>Tighten your eyelid skin, reduce dark circles and elevate your eye brows all without surgical risk and minimal down time!</em></strong></p>
<p>The Madonna Lift is the newest way to treat the wrinkles and saggy, lax skin around the eyes. Your physician will use the most advanced fractional CO2 laser known as the SmartXide DOT to treat these problem areas. The fractional laser treats deep into the skin around your eyes to plump up wrinkles, tighten the skin, lift sagging brows and improve the appearance&#8230;all without any surgical incisions.</p>
<p><strong>How does it work?</strong><br />
DOT Therapy employs the latest fractional technology, which treats only a fraction of the skin at a time. The laser uses specially modulated beams of light about the width of a human hair, to penetrate into the skin. These beams of light destroy and contract the old collagen within the wrinkles and incite the body’s natural wound healing process to create new, youthful collagen in the skin. This causes the wrinkles around the eyes to plump up, tighten and soften.</p>
<p><strong>Will it work for anyone?</strong><br />
The Madonna lift can be used on most patients with drooping eyelids, brows, and wrinkles around the eyes. However, only your physician can tell you if it is right for you.<span id="more-3040"></span><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Is the procedure safe for my eyes?</strong><br />
During the treatment, your physician will protect your eyes with protective shields allowing for safe treatment of the lids and brow area.</p>
<p><strong>Is the Madonna Lift good for all skin colors?</strong><br />
The laser used for the Madonna Lift has been cleared by the FDA for use on all skin colors.</p>
<p><strong>How long does it take?</strong><br />
The procedure only takes a few minutes in the physician’s office. You may need some additional time to apply topical anesthetic prior to the procedure.</p>
<p><strong>How many treatments will I need?</strong><br />
The number of treatments needed will vary from patient to patient. However, most patients see results right away and full results are seen after 3-5 treatments.</p>
<p><strong>What will I look like after treatment?</strong><br />
Your skin may be red and puffy after the procedure but this usually fades after a day. Make-up can be applied immediately after treatment allowing you to resume your normal daily activities right away.</p>
<p><strong>How long will the results last?</strong><br />
Results vary from patient to patient but as your body continues to heal and create new strong, healthy and elastic collagen in your lids and eyes, you will continue to see improvement for up to six months after your last treatment. Results should last for several years but, as your skin continues to age, it is recommended you prolong the results with a good skin care regimen and daily protection from the sun.</p>

<li>Renew your skin</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What is DOT Therapy?</strong></p>
<p>DOT Therapy (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) is a fresh new way to transform skin and enhance its overall appearance. DOT Therapy can reverse the appearance of aged or sun-damaged skin, smooth wrinkles and fine lines and minimize acne scars. Because DOT Therapy delivers the desired outcome with minimal downtime, it is rapidly replacing traditional laser skin resurfacing as the treatment of choice for mild to moderate signs of photo damage.</p>
<p><strong>How Does DOT Therapy Work?</strong></p>
<p>DOT Therapy is setting a new standard for skin rejuvenation in fractional laser resurfacing. During the procedure, your doctor will apply a pattern of tiny scanned pulses of laser energy to your skin with a controlled laser. The DOT procedure is customized to your skin by your doctor. The doctor can adjust the laser’s settings to tailor treatment and obtain the best results for you. Adjustments can be made throughout the procedure to more accurately treat specific areas such as acne scars on the cheeks or fine lines around the mouth.</p>
<p>The DOT Therapy laser precisely creates thousands of microscopic holes (DOT’s) in your skin, which induce immediate skin tightening and stimulate new collagen growth. Patients are often amazed at how tight their skin feels immediately after the procedure. DOT Therapy is designed to improve the skin’s texture and tone and to fight fine lines, deep wrinkles, and acne scars.</p>
<p>Unlike other laser resurfacing technologies, DOT Therapy leaves islands of healthy tissue surrounding the microscopic DOTs. This enables your skin to heal more rapidly and minimizes overall damage.</p>
<p><strong>Am I a good candidate for DOT Therapy?</strong></p>
<p>DOT Therapy can be performed safely on nearly anyone with signs of aging skin. For more information, make an appointment today to ask your doctor if DOT Therapy is right for you.</p>
<p><strong>What is the procedure like?</strong></p>
<p>Prior to the procedure your doctor may apply a topical anesthetic to your skin to make the procedure more comfortable during the treatment. Intravenous sedation is not required. As you lie comfortably in the doctor’s chair, your skin is immediately renewed by DOT Therapy. The doctor will move the laser around the treatment area utilizing customized settings. After the procedure, your skin will be red, similar to a sunburn. The redness continues for a few days. By day three or four, you will experience some peeling as your fresh and younger looking skin appears. In most cases, your skin will return to its normal appearance in about seven to ten days. After the laser procedure is completed, a cold compress will be applied. During the recovery period you will apply a hydrating lotion to keep your skin moist and promote healing. In most cases, you may resume applying makeup after about three days.</p>
<p><strong>How long does the procedure take?</strong></p>
<p>In most cases, DOT Therapy can be performed to an entire face within twenty minutes. Smaller areas take less time.</p>
<p><strong>How many treatments are required with DOT Therapy?</strong></p>
<p>In most cases, excellent results can be achieved in a single session. However, persons with severe wrinkling or deep acne scars may benefit from a series of treatments spaced about one month apart. Your doctor will advise you on what results you can reasonably expect.</p>
<p><strong>What precautions do I need to take after the procedure to maintain my results?</strong></p>
<p>Basic skin care, thorough cleaning and sun protection are key to ensuring your results endure. Wear sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure whenever possible, but especially in the weeks following treatment.</p>
<p><strong>Is DOT Therapy safe?</strong></p>
<p>DOT Therapy has received clearance from the Food &amp; Drug Administration.</p>
<p>DOT Therapy is safer than traditional laser resurfacing treatments. Because sedation is not required, the patient is only exposed to a topical anesthetic. Injections and sedation are not necessary with DOT Therapy. Because DOT offers the doctor so much control and customization, patients are treated faster and more precisely. DOT Therapy leaves the skin around each perforation or ‘dot’ intact, which allows for rapid healing and improved complexion. The footprint that the DOT leaves is not as deep as traditional laser procedures which often created painful damage and bruising. Because the DOT creates a shallower, wider pattern, it promotes rapid healing. DOT is minimally invasive and extremely safe, while still delivering excellent results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-257" title="smartlipo_wp" src="http://denovomg.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/smartlipo_wp.png" alt="" width="578" height="340" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>What is SmartLipo?</strong></p>
<p>SmartLipo™ is the first and only laser-assisted lipolysis system to offer a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat. Using a high-powered laser, SmartLipo is a new Laser Body Sculpting procedure with less down time and side effects than traditional liposuction. If you&#8217;re seeking a cutting-edge, highly effective method to significantly improve the safety and efficiency of many surgical techniques, then laser technology is definitely the technique you&#8217;ll want to consider. Routinely used in dental procedures, lasik eye surgery, reconstructive work and cosmetic procedures-including liposuction-laser technology is what sets SmartLipo apart from its competition.<span id="more-256"></span></p>
<p><strong>How does the SmartLipo procedure work?</strong></p>
<p>A very small cannula, or tube, approximately 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm in diameter containing a laser fiber is inserted into the skin. The cannula is moved back and forth delivering the laser&#8217;s energy to the fat cells, causing them to rupture and easily drain away. The laser energy also interacts with the dermis it resulting in collagen shrinkage. Due to the cannula&#8217;s small size, SmartLipo is a minimally invasive procedure and can be performed under local anesthesia. The laser causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately on contact, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising, &#8211; and a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction. Because general anesthesia is unnecessary, the procedure is very safe with only minimal side effects.</p>
<p><strong>Is SmartLipo Right for You?</strong></p>
<p>Almost anyone can be a good candidate for SmartLipo. In general, the ideal candidate: (1) is in good health, exercises regularly, is within 25 lbs. of his or her ideal weight; (2) has one or more areas of local body fat deposits that have responded poorly to diet and exercise; and (3) is bothered by these fatty areas, and is motivated to get rid of them permanently. Your doctor will review the benefits and risks of SmartLipo with you during your consultation visit. He will assess whether you are a good candidate with respect to your medical health, and he will clarify what SmartLipo could do for you.</p>
<p>Generally, SmartLipo might be right for you if:</p>
<ul>
<li>You don&#8217;t have a lot of time to spend in recovery. SmartLipo patients are typically back to work within 1–2 days following the procedure. Bandages are removed 1–2 weeks after that.</li>
<li>You&#8217;ve worked hard to eat right and exercise, yet you still can&#8217;t lose those “love handles” or other fat deposits you consider unsightly. Human fat, or adipose tissue, can be very hard to get rid of through exercise and diet alone. SmartLipo can be a relatively simple solution to remove stubborn fat permanently.</li>
<li>You want a procedure that is FDA approved. The SmartLipo device was approved in November of 2006, and today is one of the fasting-growing, safest procedures in the cosmetic surgery field.</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t want loose skin as a result of the procedure. Many patients of traditional liposuction find that their skin does not adjust to the reduction of fat deposits. This tendency often results in unattractive “droops.” These patients often require skin lifts that can lead to scars, thus rendering the initial liposuction treatment useless. But by pulling the surrounding skin inward, SmartLipo laser technology can reconstruct the layers immediately under the patient&#8217;s skin, completely eliminating skin drooping.</li>
<li>You want permanent results. Once the fat is removed from a particular area of the body, it will never return. If you gain fat in the future, it will be deposited elsewhere on your body.</li>
</ul>
<p>To be a good candidate for SmartLipo, you should have realistic expectations about the procedure&#8217;s capabilities. And while SmartLipo can improve your appearance and self-confidence, it won&#8217;t necessarily match your mental ideal, nor will it cause other people to act differently toward you. Before you decide to have SmartLipo, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with the physician during your consultation visit. SmartLipo…the safe, affordable and permanent alternative.</p>
<p><strong>Who is a good candidate for the SmartLipo procedure?</strong></p>
<p>If you have areas of fat that will not respond to diet and exercise, then you&#8217;re a candidate for SmartLipo. Ideal candidates are in good health, of normal body weight and have realistic expectations for the results.</p>
<p><strong>What body regions can be treated with SmartLipo?</strong></p>
<p>SmartLipo can be a great adjunct to traditional liposuction procedures and it is ideal for treating small areas of the face, neck, arms, knees, back, bra strap, mons pubis, breasts (gynecomastia), and areas of loose and flabby skin (floppy skin).</p>
<p><strong>How many treatments will I need?</strong></p>
<p>For most patients, typically only one treatment is required. The session may last from 45 minutes to one hour for each area treated.</p>
<p><strong>Do I have to do anything post-treatment?</strong></p>
<p>After the treatment you will have minimal pain or bruising. We recommend 1-2 days rest but most patients are able to return to work immediately “Lunch Hour Lipo”</p>
<p><strong>Does SmartLipo treat cellulite?</strong></p>
<p>The procedure will improve the body&#8217;s shape and may improve cellulite to a certain degree and will tighten sagging skin.</p>
<p><strong>When can I expect to see results?</strong></p>
<p>Results can be seen immediately with continued improvement over several months.</p>
<p><strong>Does laser-assisted liposuction produce lasting results?</strong></p>
<p>Yes! Adults do not create new fat cells. When a person gains weight, the fat cells expand. The SmartLipo procedure permanently removes the fat cells. Should you gain weight, most fat will be deposited in areas where the procedure was not performed. *Aest. Plast. Surg. 26:335-339, 2002</p>
<p><strong>Advantages of SmartLipo</strong></p>
<p>We have chosen SmartLipo after studying the pros and cons of various methods of liposuction. Here are some key points:</p>
<ul>
<li>Minimal downtime: A few of our patients even return to work immediately, almost like a &#8220;lunchtime Liposuction&#8221;. Of course we normally advise a day or two of rest.</li>
<li>Minimal discomfort: During the procedure, there is no pain. After the anesthesia has worn off, it only feels like the aches and pains that follow a vigorous workout. This is unlike in traditional liposuction where a patient feels as if a truck was driven over the body. The bruises too are much less with SmartLipo.</li>
<li>Less traumatic: The fiber-optic cannula is inserted through a small puncture in the skin usually along creases that conceal the scar. As the laser melts the fats, it also coagulates the loose ends of small blood vessels. Compression garments are optional as the area will not bleed very much after the laser is removed. The granulation tissue (healing-tissues) does the rest of the work in contracting the treated area as well as the overlying skin.</li>
<li>Post-Operative Care: Almost &#8220;normal&#8221; skin after 3 months It would be very hard to find the insertion points or tell by looking at the skin that any liposuction has ever been done. Skin contracts with the healing-tissues that replace the melted fats.</li>
<li>Safety and Complications: SmartLipo is safer than traditional liposuction because there is less bleeding and anesthetic drugs used. In fact, in doing the procedure under tumescent technique, we have eliminated a lot of risks normally associated with general anesthesia.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>What is Botox?</strong></p>
<p>In an effort to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, many people are turning to Botox® Cosmetic. The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, simply called Botox® Cosmetic, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Botox® Cosmetic has also been shown effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.<span id="more-22"></span></p>
<p>Have your ever looked in the mirror and studied those lines around your brow? You may ask yourself, is it a result of aging, change in weight, or too much sun? What about stress? How skin ages is a combination of many factors. The lines that appear between your brows are the result of repetitive muscle movement over time. The more you have frowned or squinted your eyes, the more these muscles have contracted, causing the skin to crease. Over time the creases remain on the face and can become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more dynamic and active than men&#8217;s, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear overstated and more permanent.</p>
<p>It is strange to think of a toxin as a cure for wrinkles. But it makes sense once you understand what causes wrinkles and how Botox® Cosmetic works. There are two types of wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles, or muscle wrinkles, form where muscles move the face the most (around and between the eyes and around the mouth), and Static wrinkles are lines and crinkles that appear at the corners of the eyes and in other areas on the face. Dynamic wrinkles go deep. As they develop, they create grooves in the skin, which are apparent even when you are not moving your face. Static wrinkles are more superficial and are most noticeable when the face is moving, such as when you smile or frown. Because it affects the facial muscles, Botox® Cosmetic can help ease or prevent both types.</p>
<p><strong>The Benefits of Botox® Cosmetic</strong></p>
<p>Statistics show the benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li>In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better 1 month after treatment. Results vary.</li>
<li>Results can last up to 4 months.</li>
<li>Botox® Cosmetic has been used to treat a million people in the United States since it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe frown lines in people ages 18 to 65.</li>
<li>The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ranked Botox® Cosmetic as the most popular of all physician-administered cosmetic procedures in 2002 and 2003.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Are you a Good Candidate for Botox® Cosmetic?</strong></p>
<p>Botox® Cosmetic has been used to treat adults of all ages. Though the results have been excellent in all age groups, they are most dramatic in those with minimal signs of aging. It is recommended for patients who:</p>
<ul>
<li>Have neck or facial wrinkles</li>
<li>Are in good physical condition</li>
<li>Are motivated to improve their appearance</li>
<li>Have realistic expectations</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t drink, smoke, or use recreational drugs</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What are the Side Effects of Botox® Cosmetic?</strong></p>
<p>There are very few side effects associated with Botox® Cosmetic injections. Small bruises or red marks at the sites of the injection may appear but usually fade within a few days. Mild headaches and nausea, though rare, have been reported by patients who receive forehead injections. Some injections can cause mild muscle aches. It is also possible for an adjoining muscle to experience weakness, although this is usually temporary (one to three weeks).</p>
<p>Swelling, though rare, may occur in the area around the injection. If the swelling lasts more than a few hours, simple massage should help reduce it. (Caution: Do not massage the area in the hours immediately following your injection, since this could cause the toxin to spread to adjacent muscles.</p>
<p>After the treatment, you should refrain from bending over or from vigorous activities for several hours to prevent the toxin from moving to an unwanted area. In rare cases, Botox® Cosmetic injections around the eye area can cause the eyelid to droop, though this will wear off in two or three weeks. It is even more rare, but possible, for injections in the neck muscles to cause difficulty swallowing. Be sure to discuss all the possible side effects with your doctor before beginning treatment.</p>
<p><strong>Preparation Before the Botox® Cosmetic Procedure</strong></p>
<p>Good communication between you and your physician will yield the best results. Discuss any concerns with the doctor before the procedure. List all medical conditions you have and any medications you are currently taking, in particular if you are taking an anti-inflammatory like Aspirin as this can lead to increased bruising. Be sure to discuss any food, drug, or other allergies.</p>
<p><strong>The Botox® Cosmetic Procedure:</strong></p>
<p>For any Botox® Cosmetic procedure, your doctor might have you apply ice to the area a few minutes before treatment. This is for two reasons: it causes the vessels in the skin to constrict which helps reduce bruising, and it helps decrease the small amount of pain associated with multiple injections. Ice can be beneficial for the same reasons after the Botox® Cosmetic treatment.</p>
<p>Once seated upright, the doctor will have you contract the muscle in the area being treated so that he or she can better target the injection into the muscle. Thus, if you&#8217;re receiving injections for wrinkles between the eyes, you will be asked to frown. For some procedures, the doctor may use an electromyelogram &#8211; a devise that helps your doctor locate the area of the muscles greatest contraction. Using this devise helps ensure that you will receive the right amount of toxin in the right place.</p>
<p>On average, you&#8217;ll receive three injections per muscle (depending on the area being treated, more or less injections may be needed). With each injection you will feel a needle prick, then a mild stinging or burning for a few seconds as the toxin flows in to the muscle. Again, depending on the area being treated, you may be asked to gently press a gauze pad against the injection site and/or hold to it for a few minutes.</p>
<p>The whole process takes about ten minutes to half an hour, depending on the number of areas being treated. As soon as the series of injections is completed, you can go back to your regular activities. As stated above, the doctor will probably ask you to refrain from bending or laying down for approximately four hours after the injections until the toxin has had time to attach to the nerve-muscle connection. You will be asked not to rub the area in order to prevent the toxin from spreading to adjacent muscles.</p>
<p><strong>Recovery from the Botox® Cosmetic Procedure</strong></p>
<p>The doctor will ask you to hold an Ice pack to the treated area for a few minutes after the treatment. This helps minimize bruising and discomfort resulting from the injections. It will also help keep the Botox® Cosmetic within in the injected areas. Botox® Cosmetic usually takes two to four days or even a week to have its full effect. You might be asked to return after two weeks so that your doctor can evaluate the results of the treatment, although you probably will not need to see the doctor until it is time for your next injections. If you feel the Botox® Cosmetic has not worked sufficiently, if you notice unevenness of eyebrows or other areas, or if your eyebrow is drooping, phone your doctor and request a follow up appointment.</p>
<p><strong>How Long Does Botox® Cosmetic Last?</strong></p>
<p>Depending on the area being treated, one series of injections generally lasts three to six months, though in some cases the improved appearance can last up to a year. As the toxin wears off, your wrinkles will gradually return, but they won&#8217;t be any worse than before the treatment. With repeated injections, the effects generally tend to last longer. There is some evidence that after prolonged treatment the affected muscles may become permanently weakened, so fewer treatments will be needed.</p>
