Laser Hair Removal |
|
Dr. Robert Lowen is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is an experienced laser surgeon offering laser hair removal in the Silicon Valley.
Lasers have been used for the removal of unwanted hair by physicians since 1998. Since that time the technology used has dramatically improved and patients, including those with dark skin, are seeing very good and lasting results. Generally laser hair removal is 80% to 90% affective, meaning 90% of hair in the area will likely remain gone. Follow up maintenance treatments may be needed at 6 months to a year following the initial series of treatment to maintain hair removal.
It’s important if you are considering laser hair removal to protect your skin from the sun. Lasers work by targeting the melanin pigment in your hair follicle and if your skin is more tan than normal, this can have an effect on the laser’s ability to properly target the hair. As the hair follicle absorbs the laser light, this will trigger the hair’s natural resting, or telogen, phase.

I first learned about SmartLipo when I called Dr. Lowen's office and his staff informed me about Smartlipo. I found that I was very interested in the procedure because I had this area that would just not seem to lose any weight. At first I was a little apprehensive about it since it is very new but then I noticed that it was mentioned in a few newspaper articles.
When I went to my appointment with Dr. Lowen it was explained in detail on what Smartlipo is...."little to no pain", very little down time PLUS it would tighten the area. That is what made me decide.
I had SmartLipo on my abdomen area on a Thursday morning and was fine that evening (you do have to take it very easy for the three days mentioned) but I could walk around with no pain. My abdomen feeling was sore (it felt like after doing stomach crunches for the first time). Also, I had no need to take any pain medication at all.
I had very good results immediately it has only been two weeks and I know it will just keep getting better. I have to mention that Dr. Lowen made me feel very comfortable and his staff are very friendly and warm. I am so happy that I don't have to "suck it in" ha-ha.
I am positive that if you chose to do Smartlipo you will not be disappointed!
Cheers,
P.S.

After treatment of my upper arms with Smartlipo MPX I went home and worked on my laptop. The next day I worked a full day. I never needed pain medication, not even an aspirin, and I'm one who feels every bit of pain. The procedure was straight-forward and easy, and I am very happy with the results.
I see huge improvement in my arms. They feel better in clothes, and it's an incredibly nice feeling. I have a photo of myself taken summer of 2007 where my left arm is reaching upwards. I loved the photo but hated how my upper arm looked so I paid someone $35 to carefully photoshop it so the ugly hanging fat was gone. I remember joking how paying a pro to doctor up a photo was way cheaper than paying a doctor for plastic surgery. But now I have everything because in pictures and in real life my arms look good and feel great. I can't wait for the warm weather to really show them off.
Today I did a boot-camp style workout in a gym class. It was a wonderful feeling in every way.
An added benefit: you'll love Dr. Lowen's staff. They are the best!
