Enjoy the medispa services we offer at TLC MediSpa...

Many people do not have the time to go through a big procedure and recover because of work or school schedules. That doesn't mean you can't do some things to rejuvenate your face or body. The board certified doctors at the medispa can put together a great package that will produce nice results without much recovery time. For example, you can significantly improve the legs with a combination of spider vein removal, mesotherapy, and Velashape treatments for cellulite, with essentially no recovery time. Also, aging of the face can be drastically improved with Fraxel laser treatments for spots, acne scars, and wrinkles, IPL treatment for small veins, and Botox or Juvederm to help fill out the face. Again, recovery is minimal, so you can get back to work quickly. You can get more information at www.TLCSpaNJ.com. Just call 732-548-3200 for more information or to schedule a consultation.

Fraxel can help rejuvenate your face...

Patients are usually very busy these days and are not able to take out two weeks to recover after laser resurfacing of the face. Also the complication rate is higher. Fraxel is a newer technique that treats spots, wrinkles, and acne scars in such a way that recovery is only about 3 days and is much easier than traditional laser resurfacing. Also, it is much safer, so any skin type can be treated and multiple body areas can be treated as well. The procedure is done with a topical anesthetic and takes about thirty minutes. So call 732-548-3200 for a free consultation and find out what Fraxel can do for you today.

Juvederm now has lidocaine in the syringe...

Juvederm is one of the many fillers that is used to rejuvenate facial folds and enhance lips. It is a great product and we have used it regularly in thousands of patients over the years, along with other fillers like Radiesse, Sculptra, and the patient's own fat. One of the downsides is that Juvederm is somewhat painful when injected and requires additional anesthetic blocks to make the patient comfortable. Now Juvederm with lidocaine has just been approved. With the addition of the anesthetic lidocaine in the syringe, the Juvederm should be much easier to tolerate. So if you have been delaying your injection to avoid discomfort, then you have no reason not to come in and enhance those lips or folds that you are not happy with. Just call 732-548-3200 for an appointment and we will be happy to see you.

Improve that cellulite during these winter months...

Cellulite has always been very difficult to treat as no single procedure has been able to effectively reduce the appearance of cellulite. We offer the latest treatment - VelaShape™ - to improve the appearance of cellulite over the long term. This technology combines three different approaches - RF energy and light based pulses to heat the cellulite and initiate smoothing, along with suction technology to further enhance smoothing. The process is usually repeated once a week for four sessions and then once a month for four months. The results have been quite remarkable so far. We often combine the VelaShape™ treatment with mesotherapy to further improve the cellulite and reduce fat. Your leg rejuvenation can be complete with some sclerotherapy to remove those spider veins. With no down time, the result by springtime can be beautiful legs that you will be proud to display. Just call 732-548-3200 to find out more about the VelaShape™ technology.

A Mommy-Makeover could be for you...

You have given yourself lovingly and unselfishly for your family. You've had kids which often takes a significant toll on the body. You have worked a job or taken care of the house all for your family, with no expectation of thanks or gratitude. Now it is time to do something for yourself. A Mommy-Makeover helps to smooth out and tighten up all those areas that gravity, kids, and general aging has affected. In one procedure everything can be done and you will be on your way to feeling good about yourself again. There is not a specific procedure - one or a combination of things can be done. Breastfeeding and gravity can cause certain problems with the breasts and a nice lift with possibly an implant can help get them where they should be. The extra skin on the tummy from pregnancy can be removed along with muscle tightening to flatten the abdomen, and Smart Liposuction can smooth everything out further. After your Mommy-Makeover procedure, you return home the same day and after a little recovery period you can go back to taking care of your family in style. Just call 732-548-3200 to discuss the options with our surgeons and begin the process of feeling good about what you see in the mirror every day.

Find the right type of facelift for you...

There are many types of rejuvenation procedures for the face and neck. The simplest is liposuction of the neck. This procedure is best for a younger person with excess fat and good skin elasticity. A minifacelift is best for a person with only minimal sagging of the jawline and a pretty good neck. The minifacelift (or the multitude of named quick lifting procedures advertised on TV and elsewhere) does not include significant dissection in the neck so any improvement there is usually temporary. If the neck skin is loose, then you will need a full necklift or a lower face and neck lift. These usually nonpainful procedures are much better at addressing a sagging neck and give a result that lasts for years, not months. After all, if you are paying the money and going through the recovery, why not get the best result possible? Dr. Miller would be happy to discuss all of these options with you at a free consultation.

You can still rejuvenate yourself in this economy…

In these tough economic times people are trying to save their money in any way possible. While plastic surgery is not a necessary medical procedure, improving one’s appearance can go a long way to making one feel better. There are many things that can be done that are less expensive. A Botox treatment is only a few hundred dollars and can produce a great improvement in the forehead or crow’s feet. Instead of getting a full facelift, a laser mini facelift may result in a nice rejuvenation with a much lower price and less recovery. If you are considering more than one procedure, then we can usually give a decreased price for combined procedures. These are just a few of the many things that can be done to improve your appearance naturally with a lower cost. Just call 732-548-3200 for more information.
