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 […]

Victory Over “BoTax”

Your voices were heard by the Senate. “Botax” the proposed tax on cosmetic procedures was dropped from the Senate health reform legislation… Thousands of citizens, like you, strongly objected to the Botax which as we all know would have been highly discriminatory (primarily aimed at the female population since 86% of all procedures are requested by women, and 91% are working women). Without your help, there would not have been enough opposition to make a difference. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU !!! How can I get more information? Call now for your complimentary consultation.

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 […]

Am I Ready for a Facelift or Necklift?

Question: In recent photographs, I noticed that it looks like I have a double chin or excess skin under my neck. I’m only 37! Am I ready for a Facelift/Necklift? Is there anything I can do to eliminate the turkey neck look? Answer: Yes. There is a relatively simple, outpatient minimally invasive surgical procedure called Liposuction of the Neck. It is perfect for people whose skin elasticity is still intact yet you have a little sagging along and under the chin area and are not quite ready for a Necklift. I have performed hundreds of these procedures on men and women […]

Are Silicone Breast Implants Safe?

Question: Is it true that Silicone breast implants are safe? Answer: The short answer is yes. Silicone breast implants that are FDA approved since the lifting of the moratorium in 2006 are safe. The real issue is whether you are a good candidate for breast enlargement with either saline or silicone gel breast implants. Typically women who are in good health and who have either not had breast development (congenital Micromastia) or had normal breasts but saw them disappear after pregnancy or lactation or weight loss are excellent candidates for considering breast augmentation. The key is to come in to see […]
