More men now having eyelid surgery

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Cosmetic surgery isn’t just for women anymore. In fact, a recent report said the number of men getting eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, has skyrocketed over the last few years. With age, your eyes can start to take on a tired appearance as undereye bags develop. Eyelid surgery restores the firm, youthful appearance of your eyes.

According to a recent study, undereye bags are the result of fluid buildup or sagging skin under the eyes. They are caused by excess fat being deposited around the lower lid as we age. Interestingly, fat elsewhere in the face is lost during aging.

During blepharoplasty, the surgeon removes this excess fat under the eyes. Dr. Carney also likes to follow up the surgery with a skin tightening procedure or chemical peel to give the best possible results.

Olympian Lindsay Davenport Happy With Juvederm

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Tennis champion and Olympic gold medalist Lindsay Davenport is speaking up about her use of Juvederm dermal filler to combat pesky laugh lines around her mouth. She wanted to avoid surgery, but felt her skin needed a little extra something after all those years in the sun. Four months after her procedure, Ms. Davenport reports that she is still very satisfied with the fresh, rejuvenated look Juvedrum has given her.

If you want to get rid of your “parentheses,” as they say in the advertising, Juvederm may be right for you.

You can learn more about Juvederm in the Twin Cities on our website, or talk to us about all of the options we have for non-surgical face lift and wrinkle reduction, including Sculptra, Botox, the new Evolence, and a multitude of laser rejuvenation treatments.

California doc busted for “black market Botox”

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Some things are worth buying only the best: shoes, chocolate, cosmetic procedures. A recent news story hammered home just how important it is to find a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. A Huntington Beach, California physician was reprimanded for injecting non-FDA approved botulinum toxin into ten patients. He and about a hundred of his colleagues had bought the cheaper black market Botox at medical conventions without realizing it wasn’t approved for use in patients.

If you are interested in Botox in the Minneapolis area, see dermatologist Patrick Carney in Edina, Burnsville, Crystal, or Robbinsdale.
Skin Speaks Spa MD is the number one Botox and Juvederm provider in the Midwest.
