Carrie Blanc, MD, Veronica Solis-Rohr, MD and Kay Theyerl, MD, of RefineMD MedSpa in Menasha, WI, MedSpa, Announce their Picks for Top Procedures of 2013

Menasha, WI (PRWEB) February 01, 2013

We look ahead each year to the procedures we believe are on trend to be the most popular, said Dr. Solis-Rohr. We made our choices based on requests for information, consultations performed and our expertise of the medical cosmetic industry.

The first choice by RefineMD, known as the Liquid Facelift, combines injectables such as Botox Cosmetic and Juvderm for an instantly younger-looking result. The Liquid Facelift is a great pick me up for patients who are unwilling or simply not ready to undergo a surgical facelift. Results are immediate, and there is no downtime required, said Dr. Theyerl.

Laser Lipolysis is a laser-based alternative to traditional liposuction. It's a minimally invasive approach to permanent fat reduction that requires only local anesthesia, with less bruising and recovery time than traditional lipo. The Laser Liposuction procedure is performed at Refine MD's comfortable, in-office surgical suite, and clients go home the same day. Laser Lipo has been one of our fastest growing procedures and we expect that trend to continue, said Dr. Blanc. Patients who are good candidates for Laser Lipo are delighted with the results, as this procedure can often correct areas that have long troubled them, such as saddle bags or muffin top.

While the broadband light (BBL) photofacial has been a popular procedure for many years, new scientific studies have confirmed that longlasting and even preventive effects are real, said Dr. Solis-Rohr. For the maximum effect, RefineMD recommends photofacials in a series of three. Photofacials treat a number of signs of skin aging, including brown spots, fine lines and wrinkles, and, according to recent studies, may even prevent or delay signs of skin aging at the genetic level.

For more information about Liquid Facelift, Laser Liposuction or BBL photofacials, contact RefineMD at (920) 380-9990 or visit http://www.refinemd.com.

Dr Weiss Presents How Singaling Technology Revolutionizes Anti-aging - Video

Alex Rodriguez, Gio Gonzalez, Nelson Cruz and Melky Cabrera are among the baseball stars treated at a South Florida clinic where, according to a report in Tuesday's Miami New Times, they received performance-enhancing drugs.

Related: MLB statement | Rangers statement | A-Rod and Gonzalez deny allegations

Records taken from Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic near the University of Miami, reportedly show those players and many other athletes -- all of whom have connections to South Florida -- received various substances from Anthony Bosch, the head of the clinic, who is already under investigation by MLB and DEA.

Bosch, 49, was previously linked to the banned PEDs implicated in Manny Ramirez's 2009 suspension. Bosch disappeared suddenly last month and the clinic was closed, according to Tim Elfrink, the Miami New Times reporter who spent three months on the story.

Elfrink notes in the New Times report he was given patient records by a former clinic employee, and followed up with extensive interviews with other former employees and clinic customers.

Here's a snippet of Elfrink's findings regarding the Yankees' superstar third baseman:

There, at number seven on the list, is Alex Rodriguez. He paid $3,500, Bosch notes. Below that, he writes, "1.5/1.5 HGH (sports perf.) creams test., glut., MIC, supplement, sports perf. Diet." HGH, of course, is banned in baseball, as are testosterone creams.

That's not the only damning evidence against A-Rod, though. Another document from the files, a loose sheet with a header from the 19th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine, lays out a full regimen under the name Cacique: "Test. cream... troches prior to workout... and GHRP... IGF-1... pink cream."

[snip]

The mentions of Rodriguez begin in 2009 and continue all the way through last season. Take a page in another notebook, which is labeled "2012" and looks to have been written last spring. Under the heading "A-Rod/Cacique," Bosch writes, "He is paid through April 30th. He will owe May 1 $4,000... I need to see him between April 13-19, deliver troches, pink cream, and... May meds. Has three weeks of Sub-Q (as of April)."

UPDATE: Anthony Bosch's lawyer has responded, via the Associated Press:

"Mr. Bosch vehemently denies the assertions that MLB players such as Alex Rodriguez and Gio Gonzalez were treated by or associated with him," she said.

Report: A-Rod among players treated at PED clinic

EDINA, MN--(Marketwire - Jan 29, 2013) - A new rejuvenation technique known as the bee venom facial has piqued the interest of patients seeking facial treatments all across the United States. Already popular in countries such as Great Britain, New Zealand, and Australia, the bee venom facial utilizes actual venom from a bee's sting to provide a mild inflammatory effect, ultimately resulting in smoother facial lines and wrinkles. Dr. Jess Prischmann, a fellowship-trained facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, has recently adopted the technique into her Minneapolis facial plastic surgery practice and says bee venom facials can be a great option for patients seeking a non-invasive, natural facial treatment.

As the only practice in Minneapolis to offer the new facial, Dr. Prischmann says she is excited to add such a unique and natural treatment to her repertoire. She feels it is a great alternative for patients who are reluctant to try more invasive treatments, such as chemical peels, BOTOX Cosmetic, or fillers. The natural bee by-product is spread across the face as a mask eliminating any need for medicated injections. Dr. Prischmann says icons like Kate Middleton as well as others from all over the world have had success with the organic treatment, adding that its anti-aging effects can produce more radiance and tighter, firmer skin.

Anti-aging results can often be attributed to slight facial inflammation due to the skin's defensive reaction to the venom, says Dr. Prischmann. To avoid a severe reaction, all patients opting to receive the treatment undergo a patch test to determine if they have an allergy to bee venom. If no allergy is detected, the Minneapolis facial plastic surgeon says the facial is considered to be a safe and effective rejuvenation technique that can be repeated for optimal results. Dr. Prischmann adds that patients interested in receiving a bee venom facial or any other facial plastic surgery procedures should always consult with a fellowship-trained surgeon. She says fellowship-trained surgeons have the knowledge and expertise necessary to provide the most advanced and ethical procedures.

About Jess Prischmann, M.D.

After graduating from the Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Dr. Jess Prischmann completed a head and neck surgery residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She is a published medical author and received the highest score in the country on the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Examination in 2011. Dr. Prischmann is a member of many prestigious medical organizations including the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, among others. She is also board-certified in the field of head and neck surgery.

Prischmann Facial Plastic Surgery is located at 5201 Eden Avenue, Suite 170 Edina, MN 55436, and can be reached at 952-567-7151. Dr. Prischmann can also be contacted online at mnfacialplastics.com or facebook.com/mnfacialplastics.

Recently, stem cells have been identified as potentially the biggest breakthrough in the beauty industry. Dr. Simon Ourian of Epione Beverly Hills sees great potential in stem cells' ability to reverse the signs of aging.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 29, 2013

Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Medical Corporation in Beverly Hills sees great potential in the use of stem cells for cosmetic purposes. With more research," he says, "I expect well uncover a plethora of uses for stem cells in preserving the appearance of youth.

Anti-aging treatments are already among the most popular elective procedures performed around the globe and billions of dollars are spent every year on cosmetics and topical creams. While admitting that the science is still not conclusive, some physicians have reported excellent results with fat injections, the idea being that fat contains the human bodys largest reservoir of adult stem cells and growth factors.

Im a proponent of evidence-based medicine, says Dr. Ourian, "and Ill wait to see what truly works before I offer it to my patients. I do believe, however, that stem cells will be at the forefront of our treatments in the near future. The possibilities are endless.

Other scientists are extracting stem cells from plants and animals for use in creams and cosmeceuticals. Its important to note that the majority of creams on the market contain growth factors and not live stem cells because the technology to keep stem cells viable in that state does not yet exist.

Stem cells may prove to be a major feature in the development of beauty treatments and it appears we are only at the beginning of this revolution.

Epione offers a number of cutting edge aesthetic treatments. Please see their website for more information about these treatments and the use of stem cells in anti-aging treatments.

Most people give up their New Years resolutions before January even ends! However, before you give up this year, try to find a few new foods that might keep your health kick on track and maybe even expand your recipe collection. Below are some nuts that can be eaten as a snack or added to a meal as a way for you to stay healthy and increase your longevity for years to come.

Pecans

A nutritionally very balanced food, pecans have a high iron content, making them especially beneficial for women. Pecans are full of phytosterols (plant compounds that decrease bad cholesterol in the body) and they provide 10 percent of the recommended daily amount of fiber, which also benefits cholesterol levels and aids in digestion. Additionally, pecans may help control high blood pressure, reduce the risk of cancer, and defend against neurological disease. They can be a part of weight management programs, but dont eat more than a handful a day, as they are high in calories.

Pine nuts

Pine nuts are not actually nuts at all, but the edible seeds of pinecones. They are very beneficial for heart health because, like nuts, they are high in monounsaturated fats. In addition, the potent antioxidant called pycnogenol protects the vascular endothelial cells) which make up the lining of the heart and blood vessels) from free radical damage. Pycnogenol also helps protect the brain from free radicals, works as an anti-inflammatory, and helps preserve skin structure. Pine nuts can go rancid quickly, but you can extend their life by keeping them in the refrigerator.

Chestnuts

Unlike other nuts and seeds, chestnuts are fairly low in calories and fat, but still contain a wide array of beneficial vitamins and minerals. Very high in fiber, chestnuts can help lower cholesterol levels. Chestnuts rich source of vitamin C protects against free radical damage and bolsters immunity. Of all the nuts, chestnuts contain one of the highest levels of folate. As a nut, it also contains high levels of essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, which benefit heart health. Provided you arent allergic, these crunchy treats will serve you and your longevity well.

Go Nutty Over Health This January: Dr. Mao's Wellness Living

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 28, 2013) - Dr. John Salerno, protg of the late "Atkins Diet" creator, Dr. Robert Atkins, corrects misconceptions about the science of nutrition and losing weight while addressing current state-of-food issues in his new book, "The Silver Cloud Diet," (www.thesilverclouddiet.com).

"Hidden sugar, preservatives and highly processed white starch are what are really causing our health epidemic in the United States," says Salerno, who has been featured in Woman's Day, Men's Health, The Huffington Post, Fox News and is recommended in health celebrity Suzanne Somers' best-sellers. "Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's disease are killing this country, and it's not because people are eating too many organic natural fats."

The book describes Dr. Salerno's three-step approach to nutrition based on organic, unprocessed foods that are low-glycemic, low in carbohydrates and high in protein and natural fat. His program is also fortified with pure organic nutritional supplements targeted to strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation and destroy free radicals. Dr. Salerno advocates the use of bio-identical hormones, as well as a detox program to jumpstart a healthy diet.

"Dr. Salerno saved my life," writes patient JP from New York City. "My weight had ballooned up to nearly 350 pounds. I was hypoglycemic, had high blood pressure, and was on my way to diabetes. Using The Silver Cloud Diet, I have lost nearly 200 pounds, my blood pressure and sugars are both normal. I feel great. And I can stay on The Silver Cloud Diet for the rest of my life."

The book includes 75 low-carb recipes developed by culinary co-authors Linda West and James Beard, and step-by-step instructions for a healthy lifestyle.

About Dr. John Salerno

A board-certified family physician, Dr. John Salerno has been pioneering complementary medicine for more than 20 years. Best known for his Silver Cloud Diet nutrition program, anti-aging supplements, and natural therapies, Dr. Salerno has served as a clinical preceptor at Yale University School of Medicine for three years and crafted treatment plans to restore human health. His publications and professional studies have made him a popular expert on the physiology and assessment of many complex medical conditions. Dr. Salerno was a protg and colleague of Dr. Robert Atkins and has worked with Hollywood actress/author Suzanne Somers (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy pioneer); actor Steven Cannell; and president of the International Congress of Integrative Medicine, Dr. Hiroyuki Abe.
