What is SkinMaster Particle Free Dermabrasion?
SkinMaster particle free dermabrasion is a comprehensive skin rejuvenation system – a technological advancement in skincare utilizing particle-free dermabrasion to evenly exfoliate, and deeply moisturize for smooth, glowing radiant skin!
This is accomplished by removing the top most layer of skin leaving it supple and vibrant. Removing the top layer of skin cells promotes the growth of new cells. The procedure has been proven safe and effective for the treatment of exfoliating dead skin and minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, sun damaged skin, acne scarring and repairs facial age spots.
There is no downtime and normal activity may be resumed immediately. Skin may look slightly flushed from the treatment but should return to normal in 10-30 minutes. Skin will look and feel smoother with the first treatment and will continue to improve with additional treatments. Treatment series vary from 5-10 sessions depending on the condition before treated and type of skin. SkinBella provides results beyond microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
Mesolift For Skin Rejuvenation
Mesotherapy can decrease wrinkles, regenerate skin, improve skin tone, improve skin texture and enhance skin contour. In addition to all of its other treatment applications, Mesotherapy is effective at treating sagging skin on the face and neck region of the body. Mesotherapy treatments to the face and the neck can result in a more youthful and glowing appearance. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and loss of skin firmness area a result of skin aging. Mesolift increases the regeneration of collagen and elastin, tightens the skin, and reduces the depth of lines and wrinkles.
Mesoglow For Skin Rejuvenation
Mesoglow hydrates the skin by infusing it with potent antioxidants and vitamins. It adds moisturizing elements to the skin, particularly hualuronic acid. It swells by absorbing water, improving elasticity and hydration of the skin. Results are immediate. Mesoglow produces a dramatic effect, causing facial skin to regain its youthful glow.
Acthyderm Facial Skin Rejuvenation
Acthyderm is a revolutionary system for transdermally delivering vitamins, minerals, and medications through the skin. These products are sent to the deeper layers of the skin where they repair and rejuvenate. With the combination of an unparalled delivery system and the best products being sent into the skin, Acthyderm introduces an exciting new level of rejuvenation. It tones facial skin, reduces wrinkles and fine lines while moisturizing and nourishing the skin. While a procedure such as face-lifting will pull skin tight, the QUALITY of the skin remains the same. The only way to revitalize the skin is to stimulate it to renew itself. By delivering a sufficient volume of active ingredients directly into the deeper layers, Acthyderm gives skin all the building blocks it needs to restore itself. The immediate effect of an Acthyderm facial is a massive hydration of your skin. After 8-10 treatments you will have a wonderful healthy look with thicker, tighter and smoother skin. It’s an entirely new level of facial rejuvenation.
Ultrasonic Facial Skin Rejuvenation
Ultrasonic skin therapy is a new approach to skin rejuvenation and repair. Ultrasound is used to reduce the impact of wrinkles and lines and to address the remnants of acne scares and other surgical imperfections of the skin.This is accomplished by a deep heating action that stimulates the production of fibroblasts, the major initiator use of collagen . Your skin relies upon collagen to maintain suppleness and elasticity. Since the majority of ultrasound effects take place deep within tissue ultrasound facials do no damage to external tissue and do not create any treatment after effects. Following treatment your skin will feel refreshed, tighter and firm. You can return to normal activity immediately.
Today you have more facial skin rejuvenating choices than ever before. Our mesotherapy spa offers some of the most effective procedures available.

Why Dieting Doesn’t Work – The Lipodissolve Clinic Blog
The latest fad in dieting has been the HCG diet. In addition to taking or injecting HCG, patients eat a 500 calorie a day diet. The biggest problem with this is it’s a DIET!
According to the American Obesity Association,the failure rate for dieters is well over 95%.
This is based upon research they published in 1959 but also concurs with ore recent surveys.
When patients in my Evanston Illinois area office express a wish to lose weight, I do not give them a diet to go on for a prescribed period of time. I work with them to change their diet, their attitudes about food and eating and about exercise and meditation.
My Patients lose weight slowly but more importantly, they keep it off and have better energy and moods. Often the health issues that brought them to my office improves without any other changes or medications.
I do see many obese patients who want lipodissolve, but this is inappropriate for them as lipodissolve is a spot fat removal process not a weight loss process. Unless the fat is in the chin, neck, dowagers hump or a lipoma, I wait until the obese patient loses enough weight from lifestyle changes before I would consider performing lipodissolve on their bodies.
Patients who opt for diets, always put their weight back on because nothing has really changed. This is akin to smokers who tell you they’ve quit numerous times. Unless one examines the reasons behind the addiction ( and, yes, obesity is due to an addiction), they fail.
One of the many techniques for tackling the physical obstacles to addiction recovery is altering the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) pathway via reflex biofeedback. This technique works wonders and is being utilized for recovery from all kinds of addictions.
Altering the signals to eat once and for all is the only way to deal with obesity.
Straightening Out Peyronies – The Lipodissolve Clinic Blog
Peyronies is a disorder of the connective tissue of the penis. It affects at least 5% of the male population, is disfiguring and can be painful or desensitizing in some cases.
I am writing about it in my blog as it pertains to aesthetics and lifestyle changes as well as overall health and wellbeing.
I have had male patients walk into my chicago area office complaining of many things they want to address, but one of the more difficult things for them to speak about are issues regarding sexuality and their genitalia.
It has been common for men to come in for lipodissolve for fatty breast tissue or love handles. And it has been common for men to come in complaining of low libido but only recently have I been seeing more and more men with a diagnosis of Peyronies.
As it turns out, the reflex-biofeedback that I have mastered is incredible for tackling this horrible disorder. Not only does it address pain or de-sensitivity, it appears to address the abnormal connective tissue problem immediately.
The reflex biofeedback I’m speaking about is Russian in origin and has been around for over 25 years. It is FDA approved as a prescription device for pain management. However, it is commonly used “off-label” for all kinds of problems and has research backing much of the “off-label” use.
I would not have known it was useful for Peyronies if one of my patients hadn’t suggested trying it on him after I successfully treated a shoulder and hip injury of his.
To our amazement, he had a 90% improvement after only one treatment. The rest is history.
Most patients would be happy with just the aesthetic component of this disorder improved, however, having function and size improved is an added bonus that can not be overlooked.
The traditional “treatments” for Peyronies are painful and in almost all cases, a waste of time.
Information regarding SCENAR or INTERX can be found on my medical website at
www.disease-reversal.com
the link to SCENAR is in the top left corner of the home page.
I am in the process of setting up research with reflex-biofeedback in a neurobiology lab in Boston with returning veterans and different disabilities. I look forward to sharing the research with my readers.
The Benefits of a Low Glycemic Index Protein Drink in Permanent Weight Loss – The Lipodissolve Clinic Blog
Many patients that walk into my Chicago area clinic want to go on a cleanse. While it can be very beneficial to go on a cleanse, what you do after you’ve finished, is more predictive of the longterm gains you’ll have made from doing it in the first place.
We all know someone who is a “yo-yo” dieter. There are “yo-yo” health eaters as well.
“Diets” in general do not work, no matter what the reason. It is imperative to learn to eat in a way that is the most beneficial to you. So if you need to shrink your shadow, this requires a change in your habits. Likewise, if you want to improve your health status and reduce toxins, this also requires lifestyle changes and not just a month of raw fooding or cleansing.
I highly recommend adding a low glycemic protein drink with great prebiotics such as inulin while starting to make lifestyle and dietary changes. The reason is that these drinks help you feel satisfied and if they contain inulin and low sugars, they can actually alter your bowel flora (the beneficial gut bacteria).
Recent research in obesity has revealed that many obese individuals harbor different bowel flora than thin individuals. The flora of obese individuals actually breakdown what is otherwise undigestible cellulose and obtain sugars and calories from it. And, rats fed a high sugar and fried food diet, actually change their bowel flora to those of obese individuals. This means, if you a eat high sugar, high bad fat diet, you are slammed with a double whammy as the bowel bacteria will be altered to grab even more calories from your food than if you didn’t eat this way.
We all know that once we get on a carbohydrate binge, it is very difficult to stop the inertia. The best way I have found to stop the inertia is with a high quality low glycemic index protein drink. Occasionally, I’ll add some herbs to help quell intense cravings.
Once a patient is off the carbohydrate merry-go-round, I find it is easier for them to make permanent changes in their eating habits.
