Zerona….

Saturday, September 25th, 2010 at 6:53 pm | Posted in Cosmetic Lasers, General Cosmetic Surgery

What is Zerona?  People keep asking if it actually works.   Well, I answer that with a “Yes, it works.”  Zerona is a laser that is FDA approved for body contouring.  You simply point the laser at the body and zap away fat.  While it sounds too good to be true, I have seen it work for many, many patients.  It is not nearly as dramatic as liposuction but then again there is zero pain, and very little risk.  For those people afraid of liposuction who would like to lose an inch here and there, it often works well.  More information is available on my website or call for more information.

Close your eyes, blow on an eyelash
and help make wishes come true…

Join campaign ambassadors, fashion CEO Kathy Ireland, professional ballroom dancer Chelsie Hightower and style guide Bobbie Thomas who are leading teams of LATISSE® users from around the country to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation while sharing their experience growing their lashes with LATISSE®, including before-and-after photos.

Important Safety Information:

If you are using, or have used, prescription products for any eye pressure problems, only use LATISSE® under close doctor care. Although not seen in LATISSE® clinical studies, may cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. Eyelid skin darkening may occur which may be reversible. Only apply at the base of the upper eyelashes. DO NOT APPLY to the lower eyelid. Hair growth may occur in other skin areas that LATISSE® solution frequently touches. If you develop or experience any eye problems or have eye surgery, consult your doctor immediately about continued use of LATISSE®.The most common side effects after using LATISSE® solution are itchy eyes and/or eye redness. If discontinued, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance.
