If you are an owner of a super fit and slim body with zero excess fat:        do not read this blog.  I am not talking to you.

I would like to share few thoughts, only with the owners of few extra pounds, love handles and some “junk-in-the-trunk.”

 I am talking to the proud owners of a “beer belly.” I am talking to you!

The average American men and women are living their lives in less than perfect bodies. When we look in the mirror we do not resemble the super models in fashion magazines.

Our men seldom have the body of Hugh Jackman, and strike an uncanny resemblance to Gerard Butler.
Looking in the mirror, we see the curves of Jessica Simpson not Meghan Fox.

We look good. We want to look great.

If you are like me, and pretty much the rest of New York, you eat healthy and excercise on regular basis. You have made smart food choices and tried at least a dozen different fitness programs and classes.

Yet, no matter what you do, there are parts of you that are just “too much of you.”

These stubborn fatty areas that just refuse to go away.
It can be your stomach, your thighs or your butt.

They are with you when you are happy, and with you when you are sad. You have them on your Prom Day and your Wedding Day.

Your husband may leave you, so can your wife but you will have your gutt for life.

Until Now.

The time has come to introduce you to the newest and most advanced body slimming procedure-Zerona(R).

Zerona (R) is the first non-invasive body slimming procedure, that gives you 3 to 9 inch loss, with zero pain, zero surgery and zero downtime.

How does it work?

Through clinical studies it has been demonstrated that the Zerona® low level laser stimulates the fat cell to emulsify (liquefy) the fat within the cell. Then the liquefied fat moves from inside the cell through a temporary pore formed in the cell membrane to outside the cell where it is in the interstitial space until absorbed by the lymphatic system. This results in millions of fat cells becoming smaller so inches are reduced off the waist, hips and thighs. The fat cells are not injured in any way by this process.

What can I expect at my appointments?

You can expect 40 minutes to relax, read or do absolutely nothing. The Zerona® treatment is completely painless. There is no heat or any sensation whatsoever while being treated. Each treatment you will be met by your technician who will position the laser at the desired areas of the body, he/she will step out for 20 minutes while the front of your body is treated and then will return to reset for the backside of your body for an additional 20 minutes. After you are done you can get back to your normal activities immediately with absolutely no downtime, nor pain, swelling or any discomfort. This is a symptom–free process except for losing unwanted inches.

What happens if I miss an appointment?

It is not recommended that you miss an appointment. Prior to starting the Zerona® treatment, it is important that you are committed to the recommended lifestyle protocol which includes at least 6 treatments, every other day for 40 minutes and not to exceed 72 hours between treatments. If more than 72 hours intervenes, some of the fat may be uptaken by the fat cells again.

How is it different from liposuction?

Liposuction is an invasive procedure that removes the entire area of fat cells from deposits beneath the skin using a hollow stainless steel tube (called a cannula) with the assistance of a powerful vacuum. Liposuction can be accomplished either with the use of general anesthesia, or with IV sedation, or totally by local anesthesia. In contrast, the Zerona® treatment is a 100% non-invasive that uses a low level laser applied externally to stimulate the fat cell and emulsify and release fat. There is no use of anesthesia, nor any pain, gels, creams, numbing agents, needles and no downtime.

How is it different from other “non-invasive” body slimming techniques?

The Zerona® laser is the only completely safe and effective non-invasive treatment for body slimming on the market today. There is no possibility of injury. No technician will be pushing on you or using any device against your body. You simply lay beneath the Zerona® lights.

Is there any downtime?

Absolutely ZERO downtime. During the treatment you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.

Are there any limitations to what I can do if I’m using Zerona®?

No. During the 2 week treatment period you can continue your normal activities. It is strongly recommended that you commit to and follow the treatment protocol: stay hydrated (8-10 glasses of water a day), continue to eat healthy and exercise (walk at least 30 minutes a day) and abstain from alcohol and caffeine. Alcohol and caffeine interfere with the lymphatic process to remove fat and metabolize it which can decrease your results.

What areas of the body can I use Zerona® on?

The Zerona® treatment can be used effectively on essentially every part of the body where localized fat deposits exist that are resistant to diet and exercise. Most patients start with treating the waist, hips and thighs which can all be targeted in 1 treatment. Other areas include upper arms, bra-line fat, inner knees, back fat and buttocks.

Is it covered by insurance?

No, Zerona® treatments are considered elective and are not covered by insurance.

Is it safe?

Yes, there is no risk involved in using the Zerona® low-level laser therapy and it is considered a safe alternative to invasive procedures such as tumescent liposuction and lipodissolve and other non-invasive devices like the Accent, VelaShape, and Thermage ,which rely on heating the tissue and can cause discomfort. None of these have the proven data showing how fat cell size is reduced like the Zerona®. The Zerona® treatment is 100% non-invasive and causes no bruising, scaring and zero downtime. During the treatment you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.

Is it safe if I have a medical condition such as diabetes?

Yes, with two exceptions. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, Zerona® should not be used. Additionally, if you have a pacemaker, this treatment may not be for you. There are no known detrimental risks but potential unknown risks may exist. Zerona® may not be as effective on patients with diabetes or thyroid disorders where the metabolic system is potentially impaired.

Are there any side effects?

 No. The treatment process is completely non-invasive and there are absolutely no side effects beyond loss of inches and fat.

How long has the Zerona® laser been used?

The Zerona® has been used in studies since 2008 and has been used by physicians in practice since early 2009. The same Erchonia® Low Level Laser technology has been used to safely assist with tumescent liposuction since 2001 as it is proven to cause fat to be released from fat cells immediately prior to liposuction surgery. From this important experience, the Zerona® technique was developed for effective, totally non-invasive body slimming.

Is it effective?

Yes, with the Zerona® treatment and by following the recommended guidelines for success, you can expect to experience a loss of 3 – 9 inches from your waist, hips and thighs and a reduction in clothes size. Additionally, early patients have noticed an improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

How long do results last?

By maintaining a healthy diet and exercise you can expect long-term results. Zerona® is especially ideal for 2 types of people: those that are already following a healthy diet and lifestyle and want to remove localized pockets of fat or drop body fat % OR those who (delete that) want to use the Zerona® and the recommended lifestyle protocol to “jump start” their slimming efforts as motivation for maintaining a healthier and slimmer lifestyle.

Can I do the procedure multiple times? And how soon after my last treatment can I do a second treatment?

Yes, with additional treatments you can expect to see improved results. You can start an additional series of Zerona® treatments immediately following your last treatment. Speak to your technician about any discount programs that may apply.

How soon after pregnancy can I do it?

It is recommended that you wait until after your last postpartum visit with your doctor (usually 6 weeks after birth) to begin your Zerona® treatment. It is not recommended if you are breast feeding.

How long does it take to begin seeing results?

Some can see results after only a few treatment sessions as their clothes fit more loosely. Many actually see the difference after 4-6 sessions. Family and friends often notice the difference, too, within the 2 week Zerona® program.

Is everyone a good candidate for the Zerona® treatment?

Most are good candidates. Even people who are not overweight can lose inches. Be sure to discuss your health background with your physician and ask any questions about your particular areas of concern.

Knowing all this exciting news now, what are you going to do now?

Are you going to store your fat, or will you melt it?

Isn’t it time to do what’s good for you?  Isn’t it time to be good you?  Isn’t it time to reveal the sculpted, slimmer, new you?

Yes,  I am talking to you!

In the superficial world we live in, surrounded by air brushed perfection, we forget to appreciate our own not-so-perfect beauty.

Looking in the mirror we find countless reasons to hate the way we look.

Where is the love?

In order to wake up from unrealistic and unnecessary expectations, we need to be shaken up by the images of unfortunate victims of evil husbands and vicious chimps. We need to see the faces of women who have to face a life without a face.

Where is the love?

All of a sudden not-so-perfect is just perfect. Your face is beautiful and you found the love.

But for how long will it last?

Each time we look in the mirror will we always wish to see another, “prettier” face?

Blame it on Victoria’s Secret, porn industry or those tiny Brazilian bathing suits for making it impossible for women not to “groom” our bikini lines.

There is not a single woman who does not have to deal with unwanted hair in the bikini area but most of us do not want to talk about it. It is easier to pretend that we were born with a perfect “landing strip” rather than admit that we just suffered through a torturous waxing session with Svetlana, Lucia or Sandy.

Hair removal solutions for the bikini area such as the above mentioned waxing, shaving or creams are time-consuming, painful and a temporary solution to a permanent “hidden” problem.

Laser hair removal is the innovative and most advanced option to give us the freedom of hair free life.

If you are “landscaping” your “v-zone,” than go for the Brazilian Laser Hair Removal.

Traditional Bikini Laser Hair Removal will not be sufficient for your favorite thongs, skimpy bathing suits and those “hot” Friday nights. It only removes the hair that is found on the outside of a bikini underwear line.

Do not fear the “Brazilian.” Traditionally it does mean everything gone, but these days Brazilian Laser Hair Removal gives you the option to create your own individual look. Remove the hair you want gone and keep what you want to keep. Be as conservative or as bold as your little heart desires.

The procedure is safe and gentle.

The skin in the bikini area is sensitive and prone to ingrown hairs and irritation. Waxing and shaving only exasperate this problem. Laser Hair removal will significantly reduce, if not completely eradicate the unwanted bikini hair, giving you a smooth and “bump” free skin.

Feel confidant anytime day or night in silky skin from head to toe.

Brazilian Laser Hair Removal will have you ready for the microscopic Victoria’s Secret lingerie all year-long.*

If you have not been affected by the green movement yet, then you must live under a rock.

If you live in New York City you can’t take a step without being bombarded by messages of keeping the earth green and clean and you body clean with “green” products.

Whether we like it or not our choices are influenced by these messages. We eat only organic foods, use paraben free cosmetics, drive electric cars and use solar panels to heat our homes.

Great! Hopefully our small and earth-friendly decisions will make a big difference in the years to come, allowing us to enjoy natural resources, breathtaking views and the beauty of the fauna and the flora.

Great! Hopefully our complexions are radiant and youthful without unneccessary chemicals and preservatives. “Preserving” and protecting our skin is not only about our looks anymore but our health as well.

Our “natural” lifestyle” begs for a look that is natural. But haven’t you noticed that many of us use the “green” movement to simply look and act careless?

Looking natural does not excuse you from “nurturing” the skin you are in.

Caring for your skin and body is just as important as caring for your organic garden in the back yard.

Organic cosmetics are a great start but do not stop there.

Just because a product is not labeled “organic” does not mean it is filled with chemicals.

Science had advanced so much in the recent years. We can re-create potent natural ingredients in the labs and modify them to be absorbed by our skin’s dermis to deliver all their benefits.

Not all natural ingredients can be absorbed by our skin and most of their benefits are left on the “surface.” What good is that?

Take inspiration from nature and “shed” your old skin, like a snake, with gentle chemical peels to reveal new and smooth complexion.

Nurture you skin with anti-oxidants, like the ones found in IS Clinical Super Serum, to fight off free radicals and keep you wrinkle free and cancer free.

Care for your skin and body like you do for the planet Earth. You are a beautiful part of it!

Prestige that is associated with being considered attractive, is one of the reasons why the subject of beauty is continually stirring emotions and causing debates.

Being considered beautiful is an advantage in every aspects of life. It is definitely an advantage in the sex department. Desirable, delicate, experienced and willing to experiment are just some of the characteristics associated with attractive men and women.

Are the above statements true or a myth?

It turns out that beautiful men and women are more sexually experienced and more adventurous in the bedroom. According to studies, beautiful men more frequently give their partners orgasms. Intriguing right?

Fortunately for the rest of folk, those blessed by mother nature with beauty do not have the monopoly when it comes to mastering the art of love making. They do however, have more opportunities and really effortless ability to stir the imaginations of their partners.

Beauty is the best asset-you can exchange it for prestige, money, happiness, sex and even love.

Because so much in life is dependent on outside appearance, it is an asset that is either perfectly utilized or wasted.

It will be a shame to allow for such a great gift to go to waste. Esthetic medicine with a multitude of cosmetic procedures, offers a complete and complex care for the face and body, for both men and women. Improving the appearance, it also positively impacts the quality of sex life.

Cosmetic procedures that give the best results and provide “instant gratification” are: Botox(R), injectable fillers (both hyaluronic acid and calcium based), chemical peels, affirm tightening treatments and laser vein removal.

Esthetic medicine the fastest growing branch of medicine, constantly introduces innovative procedures and products that will allow us to hold on to our beauty, our health and our satisfying sex life.

Follow the spirit of the times, do not wait for beauty to happen. Create it with the help of cosmetic procedures.

New York is a jungle and only the beautiful survive. Use all the available “weapons” to win the “fight!”

Tatted Professionals Vie for Jobs Using Youth and Beauty – The moment at which a tattoo is conceived is the moment at which time starts to stretch and fade it. Luckily, for those who live with the lackluster aftermath of the recent tattoo craze, laser tattoo removal offers a refreshing dip in the fountain of youth. And with the tough job market that already has its foot in the youth-obsessed door, professionals are connecting the needle marks and requesting this service when they realize that their tattoos could work against them in the age department. Laser tattoo removal is no longer just about modernizing a look; it is about competing for jobs and building job security.

The great news is that the permanence of a tattoo can fade even faster than its popularity. Sabina Kozak of Sensitive Touch Medical Spa in New York City says, “We use state-of-the-art technology by MedLight, a leading laser technology manufacturer. Our clients are thrilled with the immediate results of laser tattoo removal and some get pretty emotional when they see how easy it is to get rid of them. As job competition shows no sign of slowing down, our clients realize that, if they are fortunate enough to land an interview or get a new job, they definitely need to look the part.”

As the traditional nine-to-five work day becomes a thing of the past, keeping tattoos hidden under suits is no longer adequate. Employers do not want their Sales Director to show up at the charity golf tourney with a Celtic cross sneaking down from the pant leg of her capris or a ring of barbed wire asserting itself from the sleeve of his polo shirt. Sabina says: “Events held outside of the office pose difficulties for those who are overly confident that they can keep their tattoos hidden. People are attending more events with their bosses and co-workers – from scheduled business trips to impromptu barbecues and summer get-togethers. Our clients recognize these events as opportunities for building business relationships and maintaining a competitive edge.”

To make matters worse, no one could have predicted that one day’s tattoo du jour would be next year’s tramp stamp. Sabina says: “Times change and laser tattoo removal lets clients stay current. We do not think they should have to lose out on a job or promotion because they are sending mixed signals about their professionalism. Plus, a lot of people are just tired of hiding their tattoos.”

For best results, clients should expect eight to ten treatments scheduled four to six weeks apart.

Sabina says: “The cooler weather offers more opportunities to cover up and is a really great time to start treatments. New clients can achieve full results in time to show some skin on New Year’s Eve, not to mention months to spare before bikini season.”

While freedom of expression is a beautiful thing, professionals are realizing that all methods of standing out are not equal. With laser tattoo removal, they can exercise their First Amendment rights at the water cooler, not at the tattoo parlor.

Chemical Peels are the next step for clearing breakouts, diminishing acne scars, erasing fine lines and earsing hyperpigmentation.

You can soften fine lines, promote a natural glow, encourage better penetration of skin-care products by sloughing away the superficial layer of skin.

Chemical peeling is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin which is typically

performed on the face, neck and hands.

The chemical peel penetrates into the upper layers of the dermis to improve ailments such as fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth. Wrinkles caused by sun damage, aging and hereditary factors can often be reduced or even eliminated with this procedure.

Series of treatments will make all your “skin nightmares” disappear and leave you with a skin you only dreamed about.
