ChestSculpt Treatment Treats Gynecomastia

Approximately half of all grown men suffer from gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts) to one extent or another, especially as they age. Despite many men's best efforts to control excess fatty tissue in their chest through diet and exercise, their chest maintains excess and unwanted body fat. Our surgeon, Dr. Edwin Ishoo uses the revolutionary ultrasound-assisted liposuction technology known as VASER Liposelection which emulsifies and suctions excess body fat from the chest. In the end, the chest has a sculpted, contoured look that is dramatically improved as compared to before the procedure, thus providing a stronger, more masculine appearance.

If you are interested in learning more about male chest reduction with ChestSculpt Treatment, contact us to schedule a consultation with Board Certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ishoo today!

Laser-Assisted Smartlipo® TriPlex Results in Better Lipo Sculpting Results, Faster healing.

Marshfield, MA -May 01, 2010- Traditional liposuction has been available for years and is used to treat large areas of the body where fat deposits have become prevalent. Recovery from this type of invasive surgery is typically slow, bruising is extensive and the results can be less than what is expected.

Smartlipo TriPlex Laser Body Sculpting is the most recent innovation from Cynosure, a worldwide leader in the surgical, medical and aesthetic pulsed-light and laser marketplace. "The Smartlipo TriPlex Laser Body Sculpting Workstation is ideal for treating areas of localized fat deposits and skin laxity. So, in addition to melting the fat, the Smartlipo TriPlex coagulates and tightens the tissue and induces collagen production," Dr. Ishoo adds.

Smartlipo TriPlex is an exciting new advance in Laser lipolysis. It is the only Laser in the world that combines 3 different wavelengths (1440, 1064 and 1320 nm) to achieve dramatic fat destruction as well as remarkable skin tightening. Smartlipo TriPlex is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction, designed to remove moderate amounts of fat from specifically targeted cosmetic areas of the body to achieve better contour and enhanced definition. The advanced Smartlipo TriPlex laser is proven to be up to 20 times more efficient in treatment of fat when compared to other similar devices.

"Patient downtime after traditional liposuction surgery is significant," says Dr. Ishoo, a board certified surgeon with Boston Skin Essentials, located in Marshfield, MA. "However, with the new laser-assisted Smartlipo TriPlex Laser Body Sculpting procedure, my patients are able to return to normal activities, such as work, in virtually no time at all. Healing is significantly accelerated."

"Smartlipo is ideal for treating fat deposits on the face and body and the ancillary benefit of the laser stimulating collagen production leaves the skin firm, which is an amazing and welcomed benefit," says Dr. Edwin Ishoo.

"No matter how strict some of my patient's diet and how religious they are about exercise, many of them just cannot eliminate localized areas of fat, such as around the abdomen or on the upper regions of the arms," explain Dr. Edwin Ishoo. With the new Smartlipo TriPlex system from Cynosure, along with the skills of a qualified and caring surgeon, patients are now able to achieve results they never thought possible.

Our clients will always receive an extensive consultation to ensure they are receiving the right procedure for them," stated Edwin Ishoo. "We will always have our clients' best interests in mind."

The Newest Breakthrough in Reversing the Signs of Aging

Affordable cost and short recovery make procedure attractive to patients.

Brookline, MA - April 20, 2010-- Dr. Edwin Ishoo at Boston Skin Essentials, a board-certified surgeon specializing in facial and body esthetic contouring, is pleased to announce the availability of Reversalift, a mini face-lift procedure that is design to rejuvenate the lower face, jaw line and neck. The technologically advanced, minimally invasive procedure, also known as a mini rhytidectomy, is the process where skin and muscle in the lower face and neck region are tightened and lifted along with the removal of excess skin to create a more youthful and natural appearance. Dr. Edwin Ishoo is offering these procedures as an alternative to traditional, more expensive face and neck lift procedures.

"Mini facelifts are in high demand because they are safe, affordable and well tolerated," said Dr. Edwin Ishoo. The Reversalift procedure was developed by Dr. Ishoo to quickly, safely and dramatically help tighten areas of the face that are noticeably visible to others, such as the chin, neck and jowl regions by combining various minimally and non-invasive lasers with traditional facelift techniques. Dr. Ishoo adds, "The ability to perform the procedure in a safe, confidential and pleasant outpatient office is appealing to patients, prompting increasing demand".

"The Reversalift® facial rejuvenation process is safe, well tolerated and can usually be completed around one hour with very little discomfort or down time to the patient," added Ishoo. The procedure is performed using gentle oral sedation and local anesthesia. The process helps re-establish facial balance and give an overall lift to the neck and lower third of the face, whereas traditional facelifts are much more extensive and usually cover all sections of the face.

The face and neck areas are exposed to the elements more than any other part of the body and as a result, tend to age faster. As individuals choose to preserve their youthful appearance, Reversalift has become an increasingly popular procedure at Boston Skin Essentials.

In addition to mini face-lifts, we also offer other innovative minimally invasive body contouring and facial sculpting procedures such as: JuvaSculpt®, Smartlipo TriPlex, Vaser® Liposelection, VelaShape™ , and Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing.

Boston Skin Essentials Offering Office-Based Facial and Eye Rejuvenation

Marshfield, MA- March 23, 2010-- Edwin Ishoo, MD, a board-certified Otolaryngologist and cosmetic surgeon in the Boston and South Shore areas of Massachusetts, is pleased to announce the availability of special facial and eye rejuvenation procedures to patients looking to restore their youthful appearance. Combining extensive surgical experience in neck and facelift surgery with advanced laser techniques such as Smartlipo and Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing, Dr. Edwin Ishoo, a member of the prestigious American Academy of Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgeons, is able to provide remarkable results with minimal recovery time at an affordable price in a safe, comfortable outpatient setting.

"Cosmetic procedures for facial and eye rejuvenation are popular because these are typically the areas people notice first," said Dr. Edwin Ishoo, founder of Boston Skin Essentials. "Through state-of-the-art technology involving various minimally invasive and non-invasive lasers, we're now able to offer cost-effective, individualized treatment plan and significantly reduce patient downtime in the process," Ishoo added. Dr. Ishoo offers Laser-assisted neck-lift and mini face-lift procedures using Smartlipo TriPlex, a minimally invasive Laser technology to reduce operative time and recovery time without sacrificing results. "The addition of these technologies has made a significant impact on overall patient satisfaction with the face and neck lift procedures." Dr. Ishoo states.

Noted as one of the most requested cosmetic surgical procedures available, eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is the process of removing bagginess under the eyes and tightening loose skin around the eyelid area. Although procedure and recovery time are short, the impact of this procedure on rejuvenation of the face is profound. The surgical procedure is often combined with fractional laser skin resurfacing of the facial and periorbital skin for the best cosmetic results and highest patient satisfaction.

Dr. Edwin Ishoo stated that he continues to monitor and incorporate into his practice advances in technologies and techniques which would help minimize patients' discomfort, recovery time and cost while maximizing patient satisfaction with the overall experience and cosmetic results.

In addition to the facial procedures, Dr. Edwin Ishoo also offers additional cosmetic services including advanced laser and ultrasound-assisted liposuction techniques for office-based body contouring and skin tightening using Smartlipo TriPlex and VASER® Liposelection.

Research Shows VASER® Liposelection Results In Excellent Skin Tightening

Boston, MA-February 19, 2010--Preliminary findings from a multi-center clinical study measuring postoperative skin retraction in VASER® Liposelection patients shows 40% to 60% tightening. Patients in the study underwent body-contouring treatments in one or more body areas with the VASER® Liposelection System. Skin markings were placed on areas to be treated and measurements have been taken over a 6-month period.

"Physicians have been reporting skin tightening benefits with the VASER® Liposelection System since the technology was released in 2002," said Dan Goldberger, CEO of Sound Surgical Technologies LLC. "This study now provides the empirical proof of the clear advantage of using VASER® ultrasonic energy in all body contouring procedures."

Most doctors agree that the key to good skin retraction is related to treating the layer of fat directly under the skin. This allows the physician to effectively sculpt an area and stimulate the dermal collagen resulting in skin tightening. The precision of the VASER® ultrasonic energy allows a physician to safely treat these areas to give patients smooth, predictable results.

The VASER® Liposelection System was designed to provide physicians with a versatile tool to treat all areas of the body, from small procedures in the face and neck, to large volume treatments in the abdomen and back. VASER® ultrasonic energy is able to selectively liquefy fat while preserving important tissue structures vital to natural skin tightening. By preserving nerves, blood vessels and collagen, patients also experience minimal to no pain and bruising postoperatively allowing for a fast return to normal activities.

Sound Surgical Technologies placed its first VASER® Liposelection System on the market in March 2001. More than 100,000 procedures have been performed worldwide using the VASER® Liposelection System. An alternative to traditional tumescent liposuction, the VASER - Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance - Liposelection System uses an advanced ultrasonic fat removal technology that has become a trusted method in a society saturated with fad procedures. Demanded by physicians and patients alike, the results are smooth and consistent with fast patient recovery. The VASER® Liposelection System is FDA cleared for body contouring.

It is important that you entrust your liposuction to a VASER® Liposelection surgeon experienced in performing this procedure. Dr. Edwin Ishoo has extensive experience with using the VASER® system in body sculpting. Please contact Dr. Ishoo for a FREE confidential consultation at 888.875.1845 to see if VASER® Liposelection is right for you.
