New Apple Watch May Require Tattoo Removal

Tuesday, June 16th, 2015


Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) May 02, 2015

Some heart rates are going up over Apple’s recent acknowledgement that the Apple Watch heart sensor feature may not work correctly when the wearer is tattooed across the wrist area. Specifically, darker black and blue inks, patterns, and deeper-density body art may affect the light sensor’s reliability, presenting the user with incorrect health data.

Texas cosmetic surgeon Jeffrey Adelglass, M.D., F.A.C.S. of SKINTASTIC Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Skin Care Centers has an answer for Apple Watch owners in north Texas: Laser tattoo removal of the wrist area using the state-of-the-art PicoSure™ laser. Dr. Adelglass comments, “Someone who truly loves their body art may not want to lose even a small portion of their tattoo, but health-conscious Apple Watch owners may be willing to sacrifice a two-inch by two-inch square.” For a limited time, SKINTASTIC is offering a complimentary PicoSure™ 2”x 2” tattoo laser removal treatment for the wrist area, specifically for Apple Watch owners.

“The PicoSure™ laser is considered to be the top-of-the-line option for tattoo removal,” Dr. Adelglass continues. “One treatment with the PicoSure™ should remove a majority of the darker inks, enough to reduce interference for the Apple Watch wrist sensor.” PicoSure™’s photo-mechanical and photo-thermal laser energy targets the ink, shattering it into tiny particles which are eliminated by the body naturally, resulting in lightening of the tattoo 4 to 6 weeks after treatment.

Having tattoo regret? PicoSure™ can remove a variety of tattoo types and colors; even hard-to-remove dark blue and green tattoos can effectively be erased with PicoSure™, and much faster than other tattoo removing lasers.

Contact SKINTASTIC Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Skin Care Centers at (972) 620-3223 or http://www.skintastic.com to set up a complimentary evaluation for the “Apple Watch PicoSure™ 2” x 2” Wrist Treatment”. A complimentary medical evaluation is required to determine eligibility for treatment.

Media Contact: Jeffrey Adelglass, M.D., F.A.C.S. at (214) 392-8830, or jeffadel(at)gmail(dot)com. Dr. Adelglass may be available for interview to speak on advances in new laser technologies, cosmetic surgery, beauty injectables, or clinical research.

Jusuru International Receives 2015 DSA Ethos Award

Saturday, June 13th, 2015


Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) May 01, 2015

Jusuru International has been awarded the prestigious 2015 DSA Ethos Award for the successful repositioning of its flagship nutritional supplement, Liquid BioCell™ Life, and the relaunch of its company brand with a new name, new logo, new packaging, new products, and new messaging.

The DSA Ethos Awards are designed to identify and promote programs that serve as examples of direct selling at its best.

“DSA congratulates Jusuru International for their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to direct selling,” said DSA President Joseph Mariano. “This program is an excellent example of the creativity and innovation that continue to drive our industry.”

Jusuru International was launched in 2010 with its flagship product called Jusuru Life Blend, formulated with a patented, highly-bioavailable liquid collagen matrix, resveratrol, and 13 antioxidant phytonutrient fruits. Backed by numerous industry awards and multiple clinical trials, Life Blend improves joint mobility and lubrication, reduces discomfort, and promotes healthy cartilage and connective tissue. It was also clinically shown to reduce wrinkles from the inside-out without cosmetic injections, decrease dryness without the use of topical moisturizers, and reduce the enzyme that can make skin age. Users experience dramatic results and the company’s revenue has grown consistently at an exceptional rate since inception.

“We decided to reposition our flagship product as the hi-tech, highly-advanced, patented, award-winning nutraceutical that it is, build the brand as the premier joint health supplement and a state-of-the-art nutricosmetic, and expand the market to new target audiences. It’s an honor that the Direct Selling Association recognizes the success of our launch with the Ethos Award,” said Asma Ishaq, Jusuru’s president.

Jusuru International relaunched its company and its brand in 2014 with a new name, new logo, new packaging, new products, and new messaging, all targeted to reach new markets.

NAME, LOGO, AND PACKAGING. Jusuru Life Blend was renamed Liquid BioCell ™ Life, based on the patented liquid collagen matrix, and along with this change came a new trademarked logo and new packaging that would position the product as a science-based nutraceutical. A “drop” element was custom designed for the new logo, with the outer drop characterizing the Liquid, the “b” representing BioCell, and the inner red drop defining the functionality of the product working from the “inside-out”.

NEW PRODUCTS. With a formulation containing resveratrol and 13 antioxidant phytonutrient fruits, Liquid BioCell™ Life is targeted to meet the needs of the 50+ baby boomer market.

The dramatic clinical and user results regarding the skin benefits of Liquid BioCell™ identified a yet unmined opportunity among a younger female audience, ages 40 – 50, wanting to look younger and ages 25 – 35 wanting to stay looking young. In response to a growing nutricosmetic market, forecasted to accelerate exponentially to $ 4.24 billion, Jusuru launched Liquid BioCell™ Skin, positioning it as a proprietary nutricosmetic with Liquid BioCell™, ceramides, collagen-boosting extracts, and 14 antioxidant phytonutrient-rich fruits.

Additionally, the company developed its Hello Beautiful App to coincide with the new product launch, allowing consumers to take before and after pictures to measure results that are time and date stamped and properly formatted to share on social media.

A new clinical study came to the conclusion that Liquid BioCell™ can protect the connective tissue of the musculoskeletal system and enhance recovery from intense exercise, illustrating promising new applications in sports nutrition, a market forecasted to grow 83% by 2019. Liquid BioCell™ Sport was launched in September, 2014 as a cutting-edge nutraceutical that fuels physical and mental performance, promotes joint and muscle fitness, and boosts recovery in one proprietary formula with Liquid BioCell™, BCAAs, L-carnitine, 9 antioxidants, and unique performance-enhancing extracts. Liquid BioCell™ Sport is NSF Certified for Sport.

NEW MESSAGING. The company’s main website, Jusuru.com, was redesigned with a fresh, modern feel to better champion the product, attract new target markets, and convey the company’s scientific message in a visual, easy-to-understand format. The website is also designed with 7 targeted microsites, including LiquidBioCell.com, which allow the company’s salesforce to send prospects to targeted areas of interest.

To maintain professional brand integrity of the day-to-day marketing by its independent representatives, Jusuru also launched a highly-advanced marketing system called the Jusuru Media Center. The Media Center gives access to a complete library of professionally branded and customizable videos, audios, presentations, ecards, social media posts, catalogs, brochures, flyers, invites, banners, and more, and allows for measuring results.

RESULTS. Jusuru International’s patented, award-winning nutraceutical, Liquid BioCell ™, was successfully relaunched, and the initiatives have given the company’s independent representatives the vehicles to catapult their businesses and expand their market base, resulting in a 217% increase in sales.

Orange County Facial Plastic Surgeon Announces New Facial Rejuvenation Procedures for After a Massive Weight Loss

Thursday, June 11th, 2015


Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) May 01, 2015

Losing weight, especially 100lbs or more, is a spectacular achievement that should be celebrated. It is the reward of weeks and often months of hard work and dedication, both in the gym and in the kitchen. Most people say that one of the things they look forward to most is the radical change in their outward appearance. Unfortunately, there is a side affect of massive weight loss that most people are unaware of, yet are often affected by—extra, lose sagging skin.

As we gain weight over the years, our skin has to stretch to accommodate the extra bulk. However, in the situation of massive weight loss the skin often will not return back into its natural starting position as one might hope. Instead, as body mass is reduced the body’s skin is left loss, hanging and sagging in unwanted places. This occurs over the entirely of the body, including the face and neck, and can be an unwelcome surprise for those who complete a major weight loss.

“Major weight loss from bariatric/gastric bypass surgery, diet, or exercise can accelerate aging and lead to sagging of the facial skin. Facial aging occurs faster in individuals who have lost significant weight because the fatty layer beneath the skin surface thins and diminishes at a much faster rate compared to a person who has not lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. Natural Facelift is an ideal for patient with massive weight loss”

Board certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Kevin Sadati, has developed a revolutionary procedure to correct and remove the excess skin called the Natural Facelift. Dr. Sadati has been nationally recognized for his self-developed facial muscle tightening technique, and published in major plastic surgery journals and publications. He often combines this renowned technique with Facial Fat Grafting utilizing Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). By performing these two facial rejuvenation procedures simultaneously, the face is restored to its natural youthfulness, combating the affects of major weight loss.

Dr. Kevin Sadati is one of the top California facial plastic and ENT surgeons specializing in minimally invasive facial and nasal surgery. He is board certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Otolarynology/ Facial Plastic Surgery (AOBOO-HNS), Diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) and a member of the prestigious American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (AAFRS).

Dr. Kevin Sadati has over a decade of experience in the field of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as nose and sinus surgery, and has become one of the most sought after Newport Beach and Orange County facelift, rhinoplasty, face and neck liposuction and sinus surgery specialists.

Dr. Stanley Jacobs introduces new feature-targeted facial procedures for patients seeking plastic surgery in the San Francisco area

Thursday, June 4th, 2015


Healdsburg, California (PRWEB) April 29, 2015

Renowned facial cosmetic surgeon Dr. Stanley Jacobs is introducing two all-new “mini” procedures targeting specific zones of the face and in so doing, is introducing a new concept to the field of facial cosmetic surgery, refining the idea of the traditional facelift in the San Francisco area: the ZoneLift. The Mini Neck Lift and the Mini Cheek Lift are two new procedures that are available now in his practice. For a candidate patient, the procedures deliver results to a target area of the face while shortening the healing time and reducing the cost—and both procedures may be done under local rather than general anesthetic.

“Less can absolutely be more,” Dr. Jacobs says of this approach. “My ZoneLift procedures, the Mini Neck and Mini Cheek Lifts, offer patients the flexibility to address a specific problem area without the need for a more comprehensive facelift. This is especially important since there are often patients who don’t need what a ‘full’ facelift has to offer.”

The new ZoneLift procedures were developed gradually over many years, but formally introduced as stand-alone procedures only recently in Dr. Jacobs’ practice. In reality, Dr. Jacobs has been delivering results on a zone basis for some time—each zone generally representing a component of a traditional deep plane facelift. Facial cosmetic surgeons naturally divide the surgical field into zones, and a deep plane facelift is the result of multiple zones being refined simultaneously, with the result being the sum of the changes made. For most patients, a facelift involves the neck, cheek, and jowl areas. Dr. Jacobs’ MiniLift procedure addresses the cheek and the jowl.

“My experience and the needs expressed by my patients drew me to this approach over time,” Dr. Jacobs says. “A patient would come in with what they termed ‘turkey neck’ and think they needed a facelift. But that was their only problem area, and when I explained that it could be addressed in a more area-specific way, they were thrilled. It just wasn’t what they expected.”

The ability to offer the new procedures under local anesthetic may be a significant factor for some patients. Local anesthetics shorten the patient’s immediate post-op period, since the patient is conscious throughout the procedure.

The targeting of the ZoneLift offers a variety of significant benefits to the patient:


A ZoneLift may be all that patients need to achieve the outcome they are looking for if one problem area is more of a concern than another
Injectables such as collagen, Restylane®, Botox® Cosmetic, and others have natural limits on what they can achieve for the patient, and a ZoneLift may be an alternative and more long-lasting way to address the problem area
The targeted approach may offer a patient the ability to address a problem area earlier, before a more complete facial cosmetic surgical approach might be considered
The neck is a problem area that cannot be addressed with injectables, so a Mini Neck Lift is the only way to address the neck while not undertaking a facelift
The recovery period for the patient is shorter, with a smaller surgical field and smaller incisions
The cost is notably lower as compared to a facelift procedure
Mini Cheek Lift and Mini Neck Lift may be done under local anesthetic

Dr. Stanley W. Jacobs is a triple-board-certified facial cosmetic surgeon who has specialized in facial cosmetic procedures for more than 25 years, performing more than 7,000 surgeries in that time. He is an elected House Delegate for the California Medical Association, a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and a published researcher and lecturer. He is the innovator of the SynergyLift™, Serial VectorLift™, and MiniLift procedures. His practice is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Care. In addition to his successful surgical practice, Dr. Jacobs is also CEO of Stanley Jacobs MD Skin Care, a growing skin care company with products inspired by Ancient Egyptian formulas Dr. Jacobs deciphered from the Edwin-Smith Papyrus and refined to create new, modern formulas for tighter, youthful skin.

First Facial Plastic Surgeon in Atlanta To Offer NeoGraft Advanced Hair Transplant

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2015


Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 28, 2015

Dr. Benjamin Stong of Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC in Atlanta, Georgia proudly offers the latest in hair loss treatment. Dr. Stong is double board certified and the only facial plastic surgeon in Atlanta to offer the NeoGraft Hair Transplant System. NeoGraft involves the automated use of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), which is considered the gold standard in hair transplantation.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, hair loss affects over 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States. Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors including hormonal changes, aging, genetics, illness and medications. Dr. Stong is qualified to accurately diagnose a patient’s hair loss cause and recommend the best possible hair restoration procedure. The NeoGraft system has helped countless men with male pattern baldness, restoring a full, healthy head of hair with natural hairlines.

In the past, hair transplant surgery consisted of a “strip method” technique, which can leave unsightly linear scarring and restrict a patient’s hairstyle. With the NeoGraft technology, patients can now undergo natural hair restoration surgery without the use of a scalpel or the need for stitches. NeoGraft is an automated machine for Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant surgery. It relies on the precision and skill of a surgeon to guide the device and extract individual follicular units from the donor area of the scalp. Healthy grafts are then implanted into the recipient area of the scalp in a way that is consistent with a patient’s natural hair growth pattern.

NeoGraft offers invaluable advantages to both men and women with hair loss. The procedure is highly efficient, requires minimal downtime and delivers superior, long-lasting results. “I feel fortunate to help patients, both men and women, with such innovative and minimally invasive hair transplant techniques,” said Dr. Stong. “Hair loss can significantly hinder your quality of life, impacting your emotional well being and even your professional career. We are pleased to offer NeoGraft as an effective, state-of-the-art hair loss solution that is both comfortable and convenient.”

The cost of the Neograft procedure is based strictly on the number of grafts needed to achieve a patient’s ideal results. Dr. Stong also offers Follicular Unit Transfer and Non-surgical hair loss treatment in addition to the NeoGraft automated FUE procedure.

About Dr. Benjamin Stong and Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC:

Owner and facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Benjamin Stong is dual board certified in Head and Neck Surgery and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He completed his fellowship under one of the most nationally renowned plastic surgeons, Dr. Andrew Jacono in New York. He has combined such a reputable level of training with his own proven experience and talent to bring patients of Atlanta outstanding results in plastic surgery. Kalos Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery specializes in providing the most advanced techniques in facial plastic surgery and other cosmetic services.

Dr. Stong will be holding a Neograft® event on June 29, 2015 from 6:00pm-8:30pm. There will be representatives from Neograft® at the event, as well as a presentation on medical hair loss and the Neograft® procedure. We will be highlighting the advantages of the Neograft® procedure compared to traditional strip method techniques as well as other FUE systems including minimal downtime, no scarring, and a 98% survival rate for donor grafts.

Dr. Stong believes strongly in humanitarian efforts. Dr. Stong is on the board of the Christy Sims Foundation, has volunteered his facial plastic surgery services to Christy and is also in charge of fundraising for the Christy Sims Foundation.
