While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated
board certified plastic surgeon who can
bring your goals to fruition A preventative
approach before aging sets in is wisest
to commence in the late 20rsquos and early
30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you
can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or
you and Dr Tehrani can work together to
come up with the approach most likely to
give you the youthful vibrant appearance
that you deserve hellip naturally
Dr Tehrani is dialed in to all that you
need Not only board certified by the

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated
board certified plastic surgeon who can
bring your goals to fruition A preventative
approach before aging sets in is wisest
to commence in the late 20rsquos and early
30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you
can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or
you and Dr Tehrani can work together to
come up with the approach most likely to
give you the youthful vibrant appearance
that you deserve hellip naturally

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but

limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated
board certified plastic surgeon who can
bring your goals to fruition A preventative
approach before aging sets in is wisest
to commence in the late 20rsquos and early
30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you
can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or
you and Dr Tehrani can work together to
come up with the approach most likely to
give you the youthful vibrant appearance
that you deserve hellip naturally
Dr Tehrani is dialed in to all that you
need Not only board certified by the

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

approach before aging sets in is wisest

30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you
can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or
you and Dr Tehrani can work together to
come up with the approach most likely to
give you the youthful vibrant appearance

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look
ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade
OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical
totally non-invasive application of gentle
heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look
ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade
OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical
totally non-invasive application of gentle
heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

often around the eyes It removes
circles and other aging lines with a
procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a
warm moist massage that I wish would
never endrdquo But end it does and when it
does the patient looks naturally younger
more well-rested and even happier than
prior to the treatmentrdquo
The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos
the heat applicator a wand-like radio
frequency (RF) device that actually
places the heat on or just under the
skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt
the tissues being treated Next is a
sophisticated infrared video camera
that linked to a large flat screen monitor
allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact
temperature in real time guiding his
every move Finally Thermi provides
doctors with a specially-developed
computer to help regulate the
heat second by second
centimeter by centimeter
as the doctor provides
pinpoint treatment
that shrinks skin
paralyzes ldquowrinkle-
causingrdquo nerves
and softens and
relaxes the
tissues around
the eyes
ldquoWe have not only created this
technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe
created a Clinical Advisory Council of
advanced physicians ndash men and women
who have the soul of researchers every
bit as much as they are committed
patient-care therapists These
remarkable physicians have helped us
to develop medically-sound treatment
protocols as well as helping new-to-
our-technology physicians transition
quickly into skilled Thermi professionals
These new physicians often become
active members of our Council as well
adding their own patient care ideas and
innovations to the cause of helping all of
our physicians meet all of their patients

ldquoWe and all of our physicians are

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

bring your goals to fruition A preventative
approach before aging sets in is wisest
to commence in the late 20rsquos and early
30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you
can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or
you and Dr Tehrani can work together to
come up with the approach most likely to
give you the youthful vibrant appearance
that you deserve hellip naturally

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look
ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade
OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical
totally non-invasive application of gentle
heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look
ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade
OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical
totally non-invasive application of gentle
heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

often around the eyes It removes
circles and other aging lines with a
procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a
warm moist massage that I wish would
never endrdquo But end it does and when it
does the patient looks naturally younger
more well-rested and even happier than
prior to the treatmentrdquo
The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos
the heat applicator a wand-like radio
frequency (RF) device that actually
places the heat on or just under the
skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt
the tissues being treated Next is a
sophisticated infrared video camera
that linked to a large flat screen monitor
allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact
temperature in real time guiding his
every move Finally Thermi provides
doctors with a specially-developed
computer to help regulate the
heat second by second
centimeter by centimeter
as the doctor provides
pinpoint treatment
that shrinks skin
paralyzes ldquowrinkle-
causingrdquo nerves
and softens and
relaxes the
tissues around
the eyes
ldquoWe have not only created this
technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe
created a Clinical Advisory Council of
advanced physicians ndash men and women
who have the soul of researchers every
bit as much as they are committed
patient-care therapists These
remarkable physicians have helped us
to develop medically-sound treatment
protocols as well as helping new-to-
our-technology physicians transition
quickly into skilled Thermi professionals
These new physicians often become
active members of our Council as well
adding their own patient care ideas and
innovations to the cause of helping all of
our physicians meet all of their patients
needs
ldquoWe and all of our physicians are
driven by what physicians call the
ldquoholy grailrdquo of aesthetic medical care
ndash the three things that every patient
looks for hellip and hopes for Measurable
effectiveness seen almost immediately
Little or no down-time and No painrdquo
ldquoFollowing guidelines established by
our Clinical Advisory Councilrdquo OrsquoBrien
said ldquophysicians can insure that their
patient treatments are painless Based
on our refined technology there is
little or no down time even for the
most intensive treatments Finally

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

bring your goals to fruition A preventative
approach before aging sets in is wisest
to commence in the late 20rsquos and early
30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you
can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or
you and Dr Tehrani can work together to
come up with the approach most likely to
give you the youthful vibrant appearance
that you deserve hellip naturally

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look
ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade
OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical
totally non-invasive application of gentle
heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look
ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade
OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical
totally non-invasive application of gentle
heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

often around the eyes It removes
circles and other aging lines with a
procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a
warm moist massage that I wish would
never endrdquo But end it does and when it
does the patient looks naturally younger
more well-rested and even happier than
prior to the treatmentrdquo
The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos
the heat applicator a wand-like radio
frequency (RF) device that actually
places the heat on or just under the
skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt
the tissues being treated Next is a
sophisticated infrared video camera
that linked to a large flat screen monitor
allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact
temperature in real time guiding his
every move Finally Thermi provides
doctors with a specially-developed
computer to help regulate the
heat second by second
centimeter by centimeter
as the doctor provides
pinpoint treatment
that shrinks skin
paralyzes ldquowrinkle-
causingrdquo nerves
and softens and
relaxes the
tissues around
the eyes
ldquoWe have not only created this
technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe
created a Clinical Advisory Council of
advanced physicians ndash men and women
who have the soul of researchers every
bit as much as they are committed
patient-care therapists These
remarkable physicians have helped us
to develop medically-sound treatment
protocols as well as helping new-to-
our-technology physicians transition
quickly into skilled Thermi professionals
These new physicians often become
active members of our Council as well
adding their own patient care ideas and
innovations to the cause of helping all of
our physicians meet all of their patients
needs
ldquoWe and all of our physicians are
driven by what physicians call the
ldquoholy grailrdquo of aesthetic medical care
ndash the three things that every patient
looks for hellip and hopes for Measurable
effectiveness seen almost immediately
Little or no down-time and No painrdquo
ldquoFollowing guidelines established by
our Clinical Advisory Councilrdquo OrsquoBrien
said ldquophysicians can insure that their
patient treatments are painless Based
on our refined technology there is
little or no down time even for the
most intensive treatments Finally

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated

approach before aging sets in is wisest

30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you
can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or
you and Dr Tehrani can work together to
come up with the approach most likely to

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look
ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade
OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical
totally non-invasive application of gentle
heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look
ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade
OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical
totally non-invasive application of gentle
heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

circles and other aging lines with a
procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a
warm moist massage that I wish would
never endrdquo But end it does and when it
does the patient looks naturally younger
more well-rested and even happier than
prior to the treatmentrdquo
The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos
the heat applicator a wand-like radio
frequency (RF) device that actually
places the heat on or just under the
skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt
the tissues being treated Next is a
sophisticated infrared video camera
that linked to a large flat screen monitor
allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact
temperature in real time guiding his
every move Finally Thermi provides
doctors with a specially-developed
computer to help regulate the
heat second by second
centimeter by centimeter
as the doctor provides
pinpoint treatment
that shrinks skin
paralyzes ldquowrinkle-
causingrdquo nerves
and softens and
relaxes the
tissues around
the eyes
ldquoWe have not only created this
technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe
created a Clinical Advisory Council of
advanced physicians ndash men and women
who have the soul of researchers every
bit as much as they are committed
patient-care therapists These
remarkable physicians have helped us
to develop medically-sound treatment
protocols as well as helping new-to-
our-technology physicians transition
quickly into skilled Thermi professionals
These new physicians often become
active members of our Council as well

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated
board certified plastic surgeon who can
bring your goals to fruition A preventative
approach before aging sets in is wisest
to commence in the late 20rsquos and early
30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you
can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or
you and Dr Tehrani can work together to
come up with the approach most likely to
give you the youthful vibrant appearance
that you deserve hellip naturally
Dr Tehrani is dialed in to all that you
need Not only board certified by the

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated
board certified plastic surgeon who can
bring your goals to fruition A preventative
approach before aging sets in is wisest
to commence in the late 20rsquos and early
30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you
can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or
you and Dr Tehrani can work together to
come up with the approach most likely to
give you the youthful vibrant appearance
that you deserve hellip naturally

need Not only board certified by the

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away

more youthful look

does the patient looks naturally younger
more well-rested and even happier than

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos
the heat applicator a wand-like radio
frequency (RF) device that actually
places the heat on or just under the
skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt
the tissues being treated Next is a
sophisticated infrared video camera
that linked to a large flat screen monitor
allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact
temperature in real time guiding his
every move Finally Thermi provides
doctors with a specially-developed
computer to help regulate the
heat second by second
centimeter by centimeter
as the doctor provides
pinpoint treatment
that shrinks skin
paralyzes ldquowrinkle-
causingrdquo nerves
and softens and
relaxes the
tissues around
the eyes
ldquoWe have not only created this
technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe
created a Clinical Advisory Council of
advanced physicians ndash men and women
who have the soul of researchers every
bit as much as they are committed
patient-care therapists These
remarkable physicians have helped us
to develop medically-sound treatment
protocols as well as helping new-to-
our-technology physicians transition
quickly into skilled Thermi professionals
These new physicians often become
active members of our Council as well
adding their own patient care ideas and
innovations to the cause of helping all of
our physicians meet all of their patients
needs
ldquoWe and all of our physicians are
driven by what physicians call the
ldquoholy grailrdquo of aesthetic medical care
ndash the three things that every patient
looks for hellip and hopes for Measurable
effectiveness seen almost immediately
Little or no down-time and No painrdquo
ldquoFollowing guidelines established by
our Clinical Advisory Councilrdquo OrsquoBrien
said ldquophysicians can insure that their
patient treatments are painless Based
on our refined technology there is
little or no down time even for the
most intensive treatments Finally
because of how RF treatments work
results are seen almost immediately
and they stay visible for at least a year
and often much longer In addition
repeat treatments have been proven to
not only make their effect known more
quickly but to last longerrdquo

computer to help regulate the
heat second by second
centimeter by centimeter
as the doctor provides
pinpoint treatment
that shrinks skin
paralyzes ldquowrinkle-
causingrdquo nerves
and softens and
relaxes the
tissues around
the eyes
ldquoWe have not only created this
technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe
created a Clinical Advisory Council of
advanced physicians ndash men and women
who have the soul of researchers every
bit as much as they are committed
patient-care therapists These
remarkable physicians have helped us
to develop medically-sound treatment
protocols as well as helping new-to-
our-technology physicians transition
quickly into skilled Thermi professionals
These new physicians often become
active members of our Council as well
adding their own patient care ideas and
innovations to the cause of helping all of
our physicians meet all of their patients
needs
ldquoWe and all of our physicians are
driven by what physicians call the
ldquoholy grailrdquo of aesthetic medical care
ndash the three things that every patient
looks for hellip and hopes for Measurable
effectiveness seen almost immediately
Little or no down-time and No painrdquo
ldquoFollowing guidelines established by
our Clinical Advisory Councilrdquo OrsquoBrien
said ldquophysicians can insure that their
patient treatments are painless Based
on our refined technology there is
little or no down time even for the
most intensive treatments Finally
because of how RF treatments work
results are seen almost immediately
and they stay visible for at least a year
and often much longer In addition
repeat treatments have been proven to
not only make their effect known more
quickly but to last longerrdquo

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated
board certified plastic surgeon who can
bring your goals to fruition A preventative
approach before aging sets in is wisest
to commence in the late 20rsquos and early
30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you
can decide what makes you unhappy ndash or
you and Dr Tehrani can work together to
come up with the approach most likely to
give you the youthful vibrant appearance
that you deserve hellip naturally
Dr Tehrani is dialed in to all that you
need Not only board certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery Dr

of Surgeons He is the founder and

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built

While there is no such thing as a lsquoFountain
of Youthrdquo many have experienced the
wonderful rejuvenating benefits from
facial and bodily procedures designed to
enhance your appearance Add to this
the enhancement that many experience
in their intimate social and professional
aspects of life it is no wonder that
cosmetic procedures are popular
especially for those who want to stay
ahead of aging Now you can reap the
rewards of lessons learned in previous
years to benefit from the many cutting
edge advancements with Cosmetic
Enhancements by Dr Tehrani Dr
Tehrani is considered a top rated board
certified plastic surgeon who graduated
from school following training that
offered the gold standard approaches
Since then Dr Tehrani has kept current
on all of the latest techniques and
technology to specialize in all of the
best facial and body procedures at his
practice for over twelve years As he
explained ldquoYou really need to be on the
frontlines to offer the best approaches
and to deliver the best results I take
pride in exceeding expectations in
this area I take time to investigate
new technology and techniques to sift
through those that are tried and true so
I can reproduce optimal results in my
practice I am a perfectionist to a fault
Many people interested in aesthetic
procedures today opt for minimally and
non-invasive approaches that do not
require downtime My mission has been
to meet this request and I do so with the
assistance of less invasive technology
At my practice it is not uncommon for
women interested in a tummy tuck to
receive liposuction and laser therapy
instead of the more invasive tummy tuck
when possible Instead of a traditional
invasive face lift my face lifts tend to be
less invasive In short I am a patient
advocate I have a reputation to maintain
and my patients trust me as their
advocaterdquo
When queried about anti-aging Dr
Tehrani offered his Top Tips This
includes weight control through proper
diet and exercise hormonal balance
vitamin D efficiency which when
deficient can adversely affect weight
and maintaining the health of cells
through vitamins andor supplements
Dr Tehrani has also added bio identical
hormones to the mix of his offerings
His PA performs an extensive panel
to obtain readings on your hormone
levels antioxidant counts heavy metal
screening and a physical exam to develop
the precise formulation you will need to
optimize overall health Dr Tehrani also
believes that environmental factors can
play a significant role in aging As such
he advocates for daily year round sun
protection and daily cleansing with a
bioactive material (vitamin C Retinol or
Retin A) For wrinkle prevention itrsquos wise
to consider injectables for around your
eyes between your brows and on your
forehead before aging sets in This will
prevents facial creases in these areas
Facial Fillers serve a unique purpose
for building volume in your cheeks or
filling in smile lines As such there is a
host to choose from including Juvederm
reg Voluma reg Restylane reg and more
depending upon your anatomical features
and the region on your face that requires
treatment For skin tightening there is
Ulthera for under the skin layer tightening
and Thermi RF for skin tightening In
fact before Dr Tehrani committed to
Thermi Aesthetics products he spoke
with many patients to find it was a nice
niche for loose skin With just few days of
downtime and wonderful skin tightening
results Dr Tehrani couldnrsquot resist but
to invest in the technology Thermi even
works well for other applications such as
for gentlemen who lose weight but are
bothered by a pouch that they want to get
rid of
ldquoIn terms of what is most
misunderstood by consumers about
plastic surgery the answer is two
fold according to Dr Tehrani In
general many are misinformed about
injectables Itrsquos vital for consumers
to know that injectables are a highly
technique driven procedures Also
cosmetic procedures are not just for
the rich and famous Many consider
cosmetic procedures just as routine
as hair and nails understanding its
clinical and professional elementsrdquo
The goal of cosmetic plastic surgery is to bring a patientrsquos self-image into
better balance and by so doing not
only improve a face and body but also
achieve something deeper and more
far-reachingmdashthat elusive quality of
leveraged self-esteem and a positive
self-image Dr Tehrani is a top rated
board certified plastic surgeon who can
bring your goals to fruition A preventative
approach before aging sets in is wisest
to commence in the late 20rsquos and early
30rsquos This type of regimen helps preserve
your youthful skin for up to 20 years
Depending upon the extent of aging on
your face you may need to blend different
treatment protocols each of which does
one or two things therapeutically but
none of which can ldquodo them allrdquo Aging
tends to initially show around your eyes
at the corners of your mouth in the lines
between your eyes and your nose or your
nose and your lips ndash this is where fillers
and neuro-modulators can do their best
work The good news is that today you

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look
ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade

totally non-invasive application of gentle
heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos
the heat applicator a wand-like radio
frequency (RF) device that actually
places the heat on or just under the
skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt
the tissues being treated Next is a
sophisticated infrared video camera

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos
the heat applicator a wand-like radio
frequency (RF) device that actually
places the heat on or just under the
skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt
the tissues being treated Next is a
sophisticated infrared video camera

temperature in real time guiding his
every move Finally Thermi provides
doctors with a specially-developed

President of thermiAesthetics
The past 25 years have seen dramatic changes in the way aesthetic beauty care is createdSevere irreversible and invasive surgical treatments are no longer the first choice for those just starting to show the effects of natural aging
Today for instance face lifts ndash once
being sought after by women as young
as their late 30s are now the final
level of beauty care for those who have
entered their sixties and beyond
This tidal wave of change has been
driven by new technologies ndash each of
them was revolutionary in their day but
today most of them now increasingly
limited to those with severe cosmetic
needs Instead of lifts and tucks ndash or
even liposuction for many needs ndash less
drastic gentler and far more effective
treatments are becoming the norm
In addition the profile of the cosmetic
and aesthetic patient has changed
Where once she was 45-plus with
increasingly serious signs of personal
aging she is now both he-and-she and
they often begin in their 20s There are
now three distinct age groups where
patients receive different care each
type of care specifically intended for
their age group and natural anti-aging
needs
The youngest are in their 20s up to age
35 and their care is primarily on the
surface though they will also receive
Botox or other neuro-modulators along
with fillers to reshape the flow of the
skin to retain a more naturally youthful
appearance Microdermabrasion
chemical peels laser skin treatments
and a host of other tech-driven care also
serves the needs of those in their 20s
and early 30s
From about 35 to 55 ndash the age range
which has seen the most benefit
from technological breakthroughs ndash
superficial treatments and minimally-
invasive Botox and fillers can no longer
effectively halt ndash let alone reverse ndash the
apparent natural aging of the skin Here
is where technology-driven treatments
to literally shrink the skin ndash as well
as providing much longer-lasting tech
alternatives to injectables and fillers ndash
to sustain and even reverse the natural
appearance of aging
Finally for those above age 55 the
needs of aging skin often call for
surgical treatments to remove or tighten
sagging skin suffering from an excess of
laxity But even here both the Botox
filler regimen and the subcutaneous
skin-tightening treatments that were
useful when patients were younger can
still work in cooperation with the surgery
to provide the maximum natural-looking
benefits for patients
While all of this is important those
new technologies allowing patients to
take advantage of totally non-invasive
surface-level dermatology treatments
along with minimally-invasive
treatments that work right under the
surface of the skin ndash this is where the
real breakthroughs are being made
Kevin OrsquoBrien is the President of
ThermiAesthetics a fast-emerging
leader in the tech-driven fields of
skin tightening technology-based
alternatives to Botox and even to
previously-impossible surface-only
skin tightening in delicate areas
such as around the eyes His
companyrsquos technology is all based
around the use of focused radio
frequency energy to literally place a
carefully metered level of heat to a
precise location where that heat can do
the most good
ldquoOur peer-reviewed FDA-approved
technology does one of three thingsrdquo
OrsquoBrien explained ldquoOur most popular
treatment ThermiTighttrade actually
tightens the skin tissue while literally
melting fat cells It is used primarily in
the lower face the neck the arms and
other problem areas It can replace
liposuction ndash but more important it can
tighten skin and remove fat in areas
never ldquoopenrdquo to liposuction treatments
ldquoOur second procedure ThermiRasetraderdquo
he said ldquois a peer-reviewed micro-
injectable way of putting just the right
amount of therapeutic heat on selected
nerves to accomplish what Botox
achieves ndash but our treatments last for
years not months as they take away
frown lines restoring a peaceful and
more youthful look
ldquoOur final procedures ThermiSmoothtrade
OrsquoBrien pointed out ldquouses the topical
totally non-invasive application of gentle
heat to treat fine lines and wrinkles Kevinorsquobrien

often around the eyes It removes
circles and other aging lines with a
procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a
warm moist massage that I wish would
never endrdquo But end it does and when it
does the patient looks naturally younger
more well-rested and even happier than
prior to the treatmentrdquo
The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos
the heat applicator a wand-like radio
frequency (RF) device that actually
places the heat on or just under the
skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt
the tissues being treated Next is a
sophisticated infrared video camera
that linked to a large flat screen monitor
allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact
temperature in real time guiding his
every move Finally Thermi provides
doctors with a specially-developed
computer to help regulate the
heat second by second
centimeter by centimeter
as the doctor provides
pinpoint treatment
that shrinks skin
paralyzes ldquowrinkle-
causingrdquo nerves
and softens and
relaxes the

ldquoWe have not only created this
technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe
created a Clinical Advisory Council of
advanced physicians ndash men and women
who have the soul of researchers every
bit as much as they are committed
patient-care therapists These
remarkable physicians have helped us
to develop medically-sound treatment
protocols as well as helping new-to-
our-technology physicians transition
quickly into skilled Thermi professionals
These new physicians often become
active members of our Council as well
adding their own patient care ideas and
innovations to the cause of helping all of
our physicians meet all of their patients
needs
ldquoWe and all of our physicians are

does the patient looks naturally younger

The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos
the heat applicator a wand-like radio
frequency (RF) device that actually
places the heat on or just under the
skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt
the tissues being treated Next is a
sophisticated infrared video camera
that linked to a large flat screen monitor
allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact
temperature in real time guiding his
every move Finally Thermi provides
doctors with a specially-developed
computer to help regulate the

pinpoint treatment

remarkable physicians have helped us
to develop medically-sound treatment
protocols as well as helping new-to-

often around the eyes It removes
circles and other aging lines with a
procedure that patients say ldquofeels like a
warm moist massage that I wish would
never endrdquo But end it does and when it
does the patient looks naturally younger
more well-rested and even happier than
prior to the treatmentrdquo
The ThermiAesthetics technology is built
around three primary tools First therersquos
the heat applicator a wand-like radio
frequency (RF) device that actually
places the heat on or just under the
skin allowing doctors to literally sculpt
the tissues being treated Next is a
sophisticated infrared video camera
that linked to a large flat screen monitor
allows the doctor to see the skinrsquos exact
temperature in real time guiding his
every move Finally Thermi provides
doctors with a specially-developed
computer to help regulate the
heat second by second
centimeter by centimeter
as the doctor provides
pinpoint treatment
that shrinks skin
paralyzes ldquowrinkle-
causingrdquo nerves
and softens and
relaxes the
tissues around
the eyes
ldquoWe have not only created this
technologyrdquo OrsquoBrien explained ldquoWe
created a Clinical Advisory Council of
advanced physicians ndash men and women
who have the soul of researchers every
bit as much as they are committed
patient-care therapists These
remarkable physicians have helped us
to develop medically-sound treatment
protocols as well as helping new-to-
our-technology physicians transition
quickly into skilled Thermi professionals
These new physicians often become
active members of our Council as well
adding their own patient care ideas and
innovations to the cause of helping all of
our physicians meet all of their patients
needs
ldquoWe and all of our physicians are
driven by what physicians call the
ldquoholy grailrdquo of aesthetic medical care
ndash the three things that every patient
looks for hellip and hopes for Measurable
effectiveness seen almost immediately
Little or no down-time and No painrdquo
ldquoFollowing guidelines established by
our Clinical Advisory Councilrdquo OrsquoBrien
said ldquophysicians can insure that their
patient treatments are painless Based
on our refined technology there is
little or no down time even for the
most intensive treatments Finally
because of how RF treatments work
results are seen almost immediately
and they stay visible for at least a year
and often much longer In addition
repeat treatments have been proven to
not only make their effect known more
quickly but to last longerrdquo
