Woodbury, NY (PRWEB) January 08, 2015 Stephen T. Greenberg, MD announced today that Ultherapy-- the only non-invasive procedure FDA-approved to lift skin on the neck, on the brow and under the chin -- is now available at his practice, Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery. Ultherapy is a non-surgical procedure for the face and neck that stimulates the bodys own natural healing process to lift the skin over time. The use of FDA-cleared ultrasound technology enables physicians, for the first time, to see and then treat the deepest support layers of the skin typically addressed in cosmetic surgery without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. Ultherapy represents a whole new category within aesthetic medicine, says Dr. Greenberg It is an ideal cosmetic procedure for those looking for natural yet noticeable results. A full face treatment typically takes only around 90-minutes. Afterward, patients are able to return to normal activities immediately, and there are no special measures they need to take. With just one Ultherapy treatment, the lifting process is initiated, but the effect will build gradually over the course of two to three months, as new, stronger collagen and elastin are created. Further improvements can even appear up to six months … Continue reading →

Tampa Bay, FL (PRWEB) December 29, 2014 Many people use the New Year as an excuse to work on themselves and achieve their beauty goals. According to the Wall Street Journal, December is the busiest time for plastic surgeons (1). The holidays facilitate recovery time, as patients are able to hide out without arousing suspicion. Additionally, many procedures require patients to stay out of the sun, something that is easier to do during the colder months. However, there are many non-surgical cosmetic procedures that can achieve the same results and restore the face to a more youthful appearance. During the aging process, the frame of the face tends to deflate as bone and fat are lost on certain points of the body. The skin has less to hold on to and begins to move downwards creating tell-tale sagging skin. To combat this, many people feel they need to go under the knife to fix this problem. According to Cynthia Elliott M.D. owner of Skinspirations, a center for cosmetic enhancement devoted to non-surgical aesthetics, this assumption is wrong. One of the most efficient ways of getting the look you want while avoiding going under the knife is with the liquid facelift, … Continue reading →
