Greetings!    
 
Zeltiq is our new innovative technology to fight unwanted bulges that exercise and diet don't seem to improve.  Painless freezing of lipocytes is the latest advance in non-invasive options to slim down.   For more information please read the article link: Zeltiq
 
Sara Heldt, MD joined our practice and has been up and running very quickly!   She is a graduate of Carroll High School, completed her Plan II studies at UT Austin, Baylor College of Medicine for her doctorate of medicine and Georgetown Medical Center for dermatology.   
 
Dysport, Botox's new competitor, has been a big hit thus far with its quicker onset of action. Until the end of September, Dysport has extended its $150 rebate program: $75 on the first visit and another $75 off the second one 3-6 months later.  
  
We are accepting new patients into the practice.  Thank you so much for all of your kind referrals.  We really appreciate your support!!

Zeltiq allows us to permanently destroy lipocytes (fat cells) painlessly and non-invasively.  Each treatment cycle takes 1 hour and the average abdomen would need 2 cycles to cover the appropriate areas.  Cost is $750 per treatment cycle.  You are able to read and multitask during the treatment!  Rox Anderson, MD helped develop this technology at Harvard where he also developed Fraxel.  Call for an appointment with Christan, Laura, or Bilita at 817-251-6500.
Sclerotherapy
 
Now is the time to consider scheduling treatment for your unwanted leg veins.  We inject a sclerosing solution into the small leg veins which makes them collapse.  Your body then "digests" them so the veins begin to vanish over a few months.  The treatment is not painful and consists of tiny pin-pricks.  The laser does not work as well and actually has more discomfort.  $400

Fraxel & Hand Rejuvenation

Fraxel is one of our best lasers to improve the texture and color of our skin.  Acne scarring is also minimized with a series of treatments.  This month we are offering a package of 2 Fraxel treatments to the hands and 2 Radiesse treatments for $2000 (normal price $3250).  You may take advantage of the special this month but schedule your treatments in October if needed.

Please remember to wear sunscreen daily that has zinc oxide in the formula for best protection.  Heliocare is also a very useful oral supplement that helps provide more photoprotection beyond your sunscreen that can be taken just on days of excess sun exposure.  We do have these pills available at our office.  Our favorite topical antioxidants are Revale, SkinCeuticals Phloretin complex and Skin Medica TNS Essential Serum. 
Warm regards,
