Skin Rejuvenation Clinic Owners Complete Advanced Body Sculpting Training

April 16, 2009 - PRLog -- The owners of Minnesota’s Skin Rejuvenation Clinic, Mark Hagberg, MD and Elizabeth Hagberg, MD completed an advanced training in body sculpting and design Feb 27 through March 1, 2009 at the Advanced Body Sculpting Institute in Lone Tree, Colorado. Led by Dr. John A. Millard and Dr. David R. Broadway, the training was centered on the latest Vaser® ultrasound-assisted liposuction techniques.

Vaser® ultrasound-assisted liposuction is a treatment to remove unwanted areas of fat which is hard to target with diet and exercise. The procedure was FDA-approved in 2002.

The treatment begins when the fatty layer is infused with tumescent fluid. Next, the high frequency vibration of Vaser® ultrasonic probes causes the fat cells to break apart and emulsify into the infusion fluid. The emulsified fat is easily removed and during the healing process, your skin will retract to give you a smooth, natural-looking result.

While traditional liposuction procedures simply reduce fat volume, Vaser® Lipo, also known as LipoSelection, takes it a step further using state-of-the-art ultrasound technology.  This technology is tissue-selective and targets unwanted fat, but preserves surrounding tissues such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue promoting smooth contours and rapid healing. There is little downtime.

Training instructor Dr. David Broadway is a triple-board certified plastic surgeon. Priding himself on the natural appearance and superior quality of his results, Dr. Broadway further distinguishes himself from his peers in his depth of aesthetic experience and emphasis on patient care. Dr. John A. Millard is a double-board certified plastic surgeon who is internationally known for his expertise in leading-edge body sculpting procedures. Dr. Millard was the first surgeon to practice the revolutionary VASER Hi-Def procedure in the United States, learning the procedure directly from its inventor in Colombia.

Drs. Elizabeth and Mark Hagberg offer both Vaser® ultrasound-assisted liposuction and ProLipo laser-assisted liposuction at their practice located within the Minneapolis St. Paul metropolitan area. Developed in 2007 and now FDA-approved, ProLipo laser-assisted liposuction (SmartLipo, CoolLipo and Slim Lipo use similar tecnology) has been widely-embraced by the public and members of the cosmetic industry because of the gentler recovery process and due to the fact that the patient does not need to be “put to sleep”; in other words general anesthesia is not required.

Mark K. Hagberg, MD and his wife Elizabeth Hagberg, MD have devoted their full-time practice to delivering minimally and non-invasive cosmetic care at Skin Rejuvenation Clinic. The physicians administer all of the body contouring procedures and anti-aging laser and injectable services themselves.

Dr. Elizabeth Hagberg graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and a degree in Medicine. Dr. Mark Hagberg received his undergraduate degree from Concordia College, Moorhead, MN and his medical diploma from the University of Minnesota Medical School. He is board-certified through the American Board of Family Medicine and is a member of the American Academy of Family Practice.

Drs. Beth and Mark have trained with many of the top plastic surgeons and cosmetic dermatologists in the country. They also train physicians, physician assistants, and nurses on various anti-aging laser and injectable procedures.
