Monarch Medical Weight Loss Center Offering New Facial Aesthetic Treatments

April 14, 2009 - PRLog -- Monarch Medical Weight Loss Center recently announced the addition of
facial aesthetic treatments to their selection of services offered to patients. The center, led by Medical Director Dr. Robert Graham, specializes in providing patients non-surgical, physician-guided weight loss and feels the new services are a natural compliment to their existing weight loss programs. "Smoothing lines, erasing 'crows feet' and filling the 'parenthesis' folds around your mouth can rejuvenate your appearance," says Dr. Robert Graham. "Aesthetic treatments are one way patients may choose to complement and increase the gains in confidence and self-esteem that accompany weight loss”.

Dr. Graham is certified in facial aesthetic treatment. This past January, he began providing Botox® Cosmetic and dermal filler Juvederm® consultations. Both procedures have become known for being relatively painless and can occur in the office in about 15 minutes. “I believe patients prefer a non surgical alternative where they can resume their busy lives immediately.” says Graham.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a non-surgical, FDA-approved treatment for the temporary smoothing of moderate to severe facial wrinkles. During treatment, the physician will make a few tiny injections to relax certain facial wrinkles, such as your “frown lines” and “crows feet”. Wrinkles usually disappear within a few days, with improvement continuing to develop for up to a month. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of the men and women surveyed rated the improvement in their brow lines as moderate to better. Results last up to 4 months.

Juvederm® is a treatment for the temporary filling and smoothing of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the "parentheses" lines from your nose to corner of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Like BOTOX® Cosmetic, it is also non-surgical and FDA-approved. Juvederm® contains hyaluronic acid- a naturally occurring sugar complex that helps provide fullness and elasticity to skin that is frequently diminished as it ages. Results last for six to nine months, when the biocompatible compound is absorbed into the body.
