Default Non Surgical Procedures

I sold my medi spa last year and I am now helping
my friend build her business to sell as well.
I specialized in non-invasive anti-aging treatments
because the market has exploded. Most men
and women do not want the risks or downtime
with surgery. In fact, most of the time all I
ever heard from my clients is that they just
wanted to look "fresh" and age gracefully.
In my business, I have seen it all both
surgical and non-surgical. Would I go the
surgical route....no!!
I have seen some rather bad bumps from
thread lifting. Thermage can be painful
and takes at least 6 months to build collagen
to the point where you will notice some changes.
Please remember that any non-invasive treatment
will not make huge changes just very subtle ones.
Thermage is usually very expensive and most clients
end up having to do a couple of treatments even
though the clinic will tell you only 1 is required.
We used a machine called the Accent XL which
results in immediate subtle changes in wrinkles
and facial tightening. Again, you need to be
realistic about your expectations. Only surgery
can make drastic changes. Our clients were
pleased with the results which usually meant
1 painless treatment per month over the course
of 4 months. A tune-up should be done every
6 months for anyone who is post-menopausal.
I am not sure what is available in your area but
perhaps it would be worthwhile getting a consultation
with a clinic who has this machine.

My husband and I are coming to TV November 1st to
'test the waters'. We hope to stay for at least 6 months.
It would be fun to get a group of ladies together to talk
about the newest anti-aging NON-SURGICAL treatments.
I know that Miami is a hot market for all the newest
trends in non-invasive procedures so you can probably
find a good clinic there.

I hope this info helps!
