Prep for the Beach Season With EndyMed Body Contouring

April 13, 2017

WOOT! Spring is fully underway!

I can smell the bikini/vacation season-prep in the air, can you?

Whether it’s rocking out the latest high intensity workout or cleanse, you know, there is no stopping an LA babe from getting bikini ready. After all, bikini season kinda starts now!

If you are REALLY willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your body goals in a short period of time, maybe you should consider the secret weapon of radio frequency technology: EndyMed body contouring treatments using patented 3DEEP radio frequency technology deliver a safe, effective, and painless way to boost your weight loss and toning results for a more sculpted physique.  

EndyMed Body Contouring is beneficial as it includes toning, tightening, cellulite reduction, and circumference reduction of hips, abdomen, thighs and buttocks. The treatments also offer immediate and long term superior results with no downtime! The way it works is that the tissue tightening is coupled with 3DEEP technology, which delivers controlled, radio frequency energy deep into the skin, reactivating the skin’s natural collagen production.

So before you start looking to kick-start a fitness plan with some immediate tightening, or looking to tone and sculpt problem-areas, look into EndyMed body contouring as it can help people of all shapes and sizes feel more confident and fit this season!

EndyMed’s 3DEEP RF treatments stimulate your body’s natural collagen renewal process leading to skin tightening and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles. 3DEEP treatments can help you look as young as you feel – with long lasting results you can trust, painlessly, and for any type of skin.

Thinking about Vaser Lipo To Get That Summer Bod Ready Now? Dr. Babak Dadvand Weighs In

April 11, 2017

Dr. Babak Dadvand is one of the most foremost experts in Vaser Lipo – which is the most ideal way to sculpt your body and be beach ready this year!

What is Vaser Liposuction: Vaser liposuction is a two-step method of liposuction. The first step involves using an ultrasound probe to emulsify the fat and at the same time protect other structures like blood vessels and connective tissue. The second step involves suctioning out the fat.

How does the Ultrasound Probe Work: The first step in any liposuction procedure is to inject tumescent fluid. This fluid has lidocaine and epinephrine mixed with saline. The lidocaine helps with pain control and the epinephrine reduces bleeding. The Vaser probe emits ultrasound waves at a high frequency to cause bubbles in the tumescent fluid to expand and contract. These bubbles continue to do this until they shatter and the energy from this knocks the fat cells off of the connective tissue and other structures, allowing for less traumatic and more precise suctioning of the fat.

What are the advantages of Vaser: Vaser liposuction has many advantages.

— It is less traumatic to the fat cells, which is helpful if the fat is to be re-injected in other areas (such as the buttocks).

— It is less traumatic to the tissues and blood vessels.

— There is significantly less blood loss than traditional liposuction.

— Vaser liposuction is great for areas of the body that have very fibrous fat, such as the back and love handles and mens’ chests.

— Vaser liposuction is great for revision liposuction patients who may have scar tissue from prior surgery or scar tissue for people undergoing Coolsculpting who are unhappy with the results.

What is Vaser Hi Def: Vaser Hi Def is an advanced technique that not only removes fat from unwanted areas, but also defines the muscle groups to give a more athletic shape. This is liposcultpure in its most advanced form. For the right patients, Vaser Hi Def technique in men can create six-pack abs, define the back, define the chest, as well as the shoulders, biceps, and triceps. In women, Vaser Hi Def can hi-light the abs and waist as well as the lower back and thighs. Fat grafting can also be done to accentuate the form, whether it is in the buttocks, the chest, or the shoulders.

Dr. Dadvand’s Practice Philosophy

As a double board-certified plastic surgeon and portrait painter, I take pride in offering my patients a unique skill set that includes my fine arts training and my many years of surgical training. I believe that the art of plastic surgery must be balanced with being a great doctor and advisor to my patients. As my patients will attest, I am driven not only by a desire to obtain excellent surgical results but also by a strong ethical foundation. I take my position as a medical doctor very seriously. As a patient of my practice, you will never experience the feeling of being pressured into surgery, or “up-sold” into other procedures, as this goes against my core beliefs. By the same token, I will never perform any procedure on a patient if I do not feel it is in their best interest. This is the trust that my patient-doctor relationships are built upon, and why my patient satisfaction rates are so high.

NEW KIEHL’S: SPF for Ultra Facial Cream!

April 6, 2017

One of Kiehl’s most beloved products, Ultra Facial Cream, now comes in a sunscreen formula, offering 24-hour hydration with SPF 30.

Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen SPF 30 is, of course, inspired by its sister product, Ultra Facial Cream, which is known for keeping skin moisturized and comfortable for 24 hours. 

Like the original, Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen SPF 30 also contains Antarcticine, a glacial glycoprotein sourced in Antarctica that’s known to withstand extreme cold, and Squalane, a lipid derived from olives that has emollient characteristics that coat the surface of the skin and help hold on to moisture, as well as “Fountain Plant” (also known as Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract), a plant native to Asia known to resist drought. In skincare, this plant is notable for its ability to help skin maintain its natural moisture reserves.

This new formula leaves skin soft, smooth and healthy-looking, and protected with broad-spectrum SPF30 protection, so Ultra Facial Cream fans can now get their SPF protection in creamy formula. (The original version isn’t going anywhere, for those who prefer to use a separate SPF!)

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen SPF30

Fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture provides broad spectrum SPF30 protection

Provides a fresh feel while leaving skin soft, healthy and comfortably moisturized

Fresh aroma, Paraben free

50 ml $27.50/125 ml $47.50
