Fight the Signs of Aging!

Question: Can Time, Patience and a little Sculptra™ help fight the inevitable signs of aging? Answer: We want to fight the aging process with steadfast perseverance but, at the same time, we must be patient in our expectations for results. Sculptra™ Aesthetic is a skin stimulator that works with your own tissue, stimulating collagen growth over time. The results are natural and gradual. Unlike fillers, it is not immediately noticeable after the procedure but the payoff is longevity. Sculptra is a long lasting treatment that offers reliable facial volume to hollow cheeks for up to 2 years. Generally, patients are treated in 1 […]

What Proposed 5% Cosmetic Tax Means to the Consumer?

Have you heard of the cosmetic surgery tax which was part of the recent Senate Health Reform bill? At the 11th hour, a cosmetic surgery tax provision was slipped in the Senate Health Reform bill. The proposal asks for the consumer who undergoes an elective cosmetic procedure, to pay a 5 % tax to the government for any procedure like Botox, Fillers, Breast Augmentations and Lifts, Tummy Tucks, Facelifts and Body Contouring. However, the bill states that even insurance covered procedures may be taxed! Will our senators and representatives also tax breast reconstruction and the opposite breast for procedures that help […]

Why Choose Restylane or Perlane from All the Other Possible Fillers?

Question: With all the options for Facial Soft tissue fillers available, why should I choose Restylane® or Perlane®? Answer: Restylane® continues to be the #1 dermal filler in the world. Restylane® is a safe skin filler made with hyaluronic acid (HA) that is used to fill the aging lines of the face. Perlane® is a similar filler but because of it ‘s larger particle size, it is used for deep lines of the face. Both Restylane and Perlane are FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to deep facial wrinkles such as the nasolabial folds that are commonly found around the […]

What does Dr. Casas recommend to restore a more youthful appearing face?

Question: Why does Dr. Casas recommend injecting Sculptra ® Aesthetic in conjunction with topical Retin-A daily to restore a more youthful appearing face? Does using topical Retin-A enhance the result of Sculptra® Aesthetic? Reply: The combination of a Sculptra® Aesthetic treatment with consistent use of topical Retin-A continues to fascinate me. I completed a 106 patient study on the synergy of these two very effective treatments and found that their use in combination can be powerfully effective. Sculptra® Aesthetic is injected just below the skin and then proceeds to stimulate the growth of one’s own collagen through an inflammatory process. The Retin-A […]

How Injectable Sculptra® Could Work For You

Question: If I am interested in understanding how injectable Sculptra (poly-l-lactic acid) might work for me, who do I talk to? Answer: Probably the most important thing to do is find a physician who has a lot of experience treating the aging face. ABPS (American Board of Plastic Surgeons) Certified Plastic surgeons like myself are trained in the gamete of surgical and non surgical procedures that treat the aging face. Background and Approach Throughout my career, and especially since 2003, I have treated patients, over time, to help them approach facial aging in a medically safe way. This is called a longitudinal approach […]
