BOTOX® Cosmetic Alternative Gaining Ground

Round Rock, TX (PRWEB) August 07, 2011

Dr. Mahlon Kerr of Synergy Plastic Surgery, a practice in the Austin area offering BOTOX® Cosmetic, comments on a recent study in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery claiming that for some patients, Dysport® may be more effective at treating crow's feet. According to that study, more patients chose Dysport over BOTOX Cosmetic for wrinkle improvement, with a two-to-one preference; however, in Dr. Kerr's experience, he says that while Dysport is an effective treatment for fine lines that appear around the eyes, BOTOX Cosmetic is a tried and tested, and has provided his patients with positive, beautiful results.

"The recent study comparing the effectiveness of BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport is an interesting and helpful method of understanding the distinctions between the two facial rejuvenation treatments," says Dr. Kerr. "While I recognize that Dysport is an effective way to treat the wrinkles known as crow's feet, I have found that BOTOX is more effective in general for other areas, such as the frown lines, as well as crow's feet. However, it is important to remember that these facial rejuvenation treatments are not interchangeable, and are different."

Dr. Kerr says that more of his patients are interested in non-surgical alternatives to a traditional facelift at his Austin area plastic surgery practice, and often have questions concerning which treatment is the better option.

"I offer many different non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments as well as surgical procedures," notes Dr. Kerr. "This variety allows me to customize a treatment plan for each patient's concerns and cosmetic goals. For my patients at my Austin area practice, facelift, brow lift, and other facial plastic surgery procedures provide a permanent solution. In contrast, while BOTOX Cosmetic and other non-surgical treatments can be effective, their benefits are temporary. However, they do offer an excellent way to postpone plastic surgery for patients who are not yet ready for that option."

Known for his skills in tailoring each treatment plan for the individual's needs, Dr. Kerr says he always makes the time to stay updated with the latest studies and medical research impacting his field. "By reading medical literature regularly, I can provide my patients with the most effective treatments available," adds Dr. Kerr. "It's important to understand that the results of one study alone are not necessarily definitive, which is why I take the time to review all the relevant ones.

Naperville Area Cosmetic Surgery Practice Offers Unique Options – 24

    JOLIET, IL, August 06, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ — Dr. Jose Rios, who specializes in plastic surgery in the Naperville area, has taken a unique approach to helping his patients achieve their cosmetic goals while saving time and money: he offers both traditional cosmetic surgery and a state-of-the-art medical spa.

“Although most other Joliet and Naperville area plastic surgeons also offer a wide range of cosmetic surgery procedures, my practice is unusual in offering both medical spa treatments and surgical procedures,” says Dr. Rios. “As a result, my patients don’t have to spend time trying to find both a cosmetic surgeon and a medical spa. In addition, we can often combine treatments, saving them not just time but money.”

Dr. Rios, a board-certified plastic surgeon, or Dr. Paula Lapinski, a board-certified dermatologist, personally performs or supervises every procedure. Their combined expertise has created a highly popular practice that offers the latest dermatologic treatments, a full range of plastic surgery procedures, and an extensive selection of medical spa services.

“Our expanded menu of different ways to achieve a more beautiful appearance attracts patients from many different regions of Illinois, from Chicago to Joliet and Naperville. Cosmetic surgery procedures, such as liposuction or a tummy tuck, increasingly appeal to men as well as women,” Dr. Rios notes. “Once the men come into our office and discover our many different options, they often feel more comfortable about achieving other aesthetic goals, such as improving acne scars from their teenage years with Fraxel laser treatments. They don’t have to deal with finding another doctor for dermatological or medical spa treatments.”

In addition to microdermabrasion, medical spa treatments available at the institute include BOTOX Cosmetic, injectable fillers, chemical peels, laser skin treatments, sclerotherapy, and facials.

At the Rios and Lapinski Plastic Surgery and Dermatologic Institute ( www.rios-lapinski.com ), Dr. Jose Rios and Dr. Paula Lapinski offer a unique combination of expertise in cosmetic surgery and dermatology. Dr. Rios completed his education at Princeton University and New York University and is double board-certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has co-authored multiple articles and presented his research at the local, state, and national levels. Dr. Lapinski is board-certified by The American Board of Dermatology and earned her degrees at Notre Dame and Northwestern University. She completed dermatology residency at the University of Texas-Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and interest in skin cancer encouraged her to stay another year and complete a Mohs Micrographic Surgery Fellowship.
