The Many Uses of Filler!!

There are many uses of filler other than the traditional naso labial folds (aka smile lines) and lips (think Angelina Jolie). Filler can be used to fill in acne scarring on the face, volume deficit in the hands and even stretched out earring holes. We're finding out that Hyaluronic Acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Prevelle) can be used in a variety of safe and unique ways, to fill in deficits on the face and/or body. The key to having a successful outcome however is to seek out a qualified and experienced injector, who practices in a practice with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist on staff. With the plethora of safe dermal fillers on the market, perfect skin is just around the corner!

JF Aesthetics is here!

We recently launched our own customized line of skin care products called JF Aesthetics MD Formula. It's a specially blended line with ingredients that were hand selected by Dr. Few. The products are all medical grade quality, meaning the ingredient strength is higher than what you would get over the counter, with less irritation than your average prescription strength products. The line has a .05% Retinol, which addresses fine lines and wrinkles - while the Kojilac-C serum treats hyperpigmentation. The products contain very soothing ingredients, and are ideal for all skin types. Please visit our website www.tfiskinsuite.com for additional details, or better yet -- stop in to pick up your very own samples!

Have you tried Latisse?

Latisse will probably be one of the most talked about new cosmetic products of 2010. It is a newly launched FDA approved medication to grow, thicken and darken eyelashes! It is simple to use and only involves swabbing your lashes with a little solution each night at bedtime. Most patients notice a difference with their lashes within 4 weeks. I've been using Latisse off and on for the past 6 months and the results are amazing!! Our patients that have been using Latisse regularly have expressed the same sentiment and tout it as their new 'can't live without' product. Latisse is not for everyone and is only available by prescription, so make sure you check with your physician before you consider using Latisse. Here's to gorgeous lashes in 2010!!

Slim Lipo is Here!

Our practice just obtained the latest and greatest in Liposuction equipment called Life Sculpt. Life Sculpt body sculpting is a revolutionary treatment that uses a "fat-melting" laser called Slim Lipo. Via a few tiny incisions, this patented laser gently "melts" fat for easy removal from your body. Its superior minimally invasive technology helps you acheive a slimmer look with minimal downtime. The procedure can be done on most areas of the body and usually takes less than 1 hour. Patients have experienced major slimming of stubborn areas, with minimal post op bruising. We are excited to have this latest version of liposuction equipment for our patients and did I mention that we are the only practice in the city of Chicago to carry it?!?
