XEOMINR

Incobotulinumtoxin A

Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum).  Botulinum toxin type A (the active ingredient in XEOMIN) is produced commercially from C. botulinum serotype A. XEOMINR (incobotulinumtoxin A) is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkle lines appearing on the forehead, between the eyebrows and in the crows feet region associated with muscle activity in adult patients. It has been used around the world since 2005 and was introduced to the US market in 2010.

XEOMINR is an FDA-approved, prescription medicine that is injected into the muscle and used for the purpose of eliminating facial wrinkles.  Small amounts of this substance injected into affected muscles will improve the look of moderate to severe wrinkle lines in  adults.  The treatment usually takes effect within 24-48 hours following the injection and lasts from 4-6 months.

Treatment with XEOMINR is relatively simple and quick, requiring the injection of minute amounts of the substance through an extremely fine gauge needle into hyperactive muscles of facial expression, the action of which is creating unwanted wrinkles, typically in the areas of the forehead, between the eyebrows and in the crow’s feet regions. The procedure is completely non-surgical and  requires no post injection “down time”. Patient’s can literally leave the office after a  5 – 10 minute procedure and resume their daily plans without  interruption. XEOMINR   injection is ideal for individuals who wish to eliminate the worried, angry or tired appearance that can arise from the wrinkles of the forehead and regions around the eyes while avoiding any time missed from work or other alteration in lifestyle.

As with any powerful technique with significant benefit, XEOMINR injections can be hazardous if performed by inappropriately trained or unskilled individuals. Therefore, when considering XEOMINR injections, or indeed any cosmetic procedure, be sure to select a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). As a board certified plastic surgeon with over 15 years of clinical practice experience and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), Dr. Robert Kimmel welcomes the opportunity to help you achieve your goals and enjoy a happier, more confident lifestyle.

Visia® Complexion Analysis

Confused and overwhelmed by the barrage of information promoting a vast array of products and procedures to enhance your skin’s quality? If so, you are not alone. Many individuals express anxiety with decision making when confronted with the complex maze of skin care promotional claims. Clearly, what is needed is a tool for objectively assessing and quantifying the multiple forms of skin damage. Thankfully, such a tool is now available: the Visia® Complexion Analysis system.

Initially developed as a skin care research tool, the benefits of Visia® analysis are now available to our patients. Simple, quick and painless, without any exposure to harmful radiation, your Visia® analysis involves a brief series of standardized facial photographs. This photographic data is then processed and analyzed with respect to six key criteria affecting skin health and appearance: wrinkles, spots, pores, evenness (color variation in skin tone), porphyrins (evidence of bacteria in pores) and UV spots (evidence of photo damage, typically from excessive sun exposure). The unique photographic profile created for your skin is then compared to a similar profile created on a large age, gender and ethnicity-matched sample population. This information then forms the basis for rational, problem-specific recommendations for products and procedures to optimize your skin health and appearance. Once created, this initial Visia® analysis serves as a baseline for future comparison studies in order to demonstrate and document progressive improvement in your skin parameters.

So schedule a free Visia® complexion analysis today, and together, we’ll harness the power of Visia® to unlock you skin’s potential and achieve a healthier, younger-looking, more radiant complexion.

Introducing…Tickle Lipo

After researching the “enhanced” liposuction device market for several years, Dr Kimmel is convinced, “Tickle Lipo offers significant advantages for my patients compared with any other liposuction technology.”

Nutational Infrasonic Liposculpture (NIL), commonly referred to as ‘Tickle” Liposculpture, is a revolutionary, FDA approved device, which utilizes an air pressure powered cannula (tiny metal tube) to create a patented triple motion of piston-like micro oscillation, rotation and vibration. This unique whirling motion removes fat more efficiently than other techniques, while preserving and respecting surrounding critical non-fatty tissues. This allows precise body sculpting with less trauma. Since the fat extracted during this procedure is handled gently, individual fat cells can be preserved and remain viable for use in any additional fat transfer procedures, which might be performed simultaneously.

So why the term ‘Tickle’ liposuction? The low frequency, underlying infrasonic vibration generated during the procedure actually “tricks” your body’s sensory system. Instead of experiencing pain with the anesthetic infiltration and liposuction components of this procedure, patients actually report a comfortable, mild “tickling” sensation. This advantage allows for the comfortable performance of Tickle Lipo under local anesthesia alone and thereby, facilitates more rapid recovery.

“From a patient’s perspective,” remarks Dr Kimmel, “the advantages of Tickle liposuction are huge. The procedure allows my patients to undergo more extensive fat extraction more comfortably with significantly less swelling and bruising without the need for formal intravenous sedation anesthesia. This correlates with a more rapid recovery and return to their ususal lifestyle.”

When considering liposuction, or indeed any cosmetic procedure, be sure to select a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). As a board certified plastic surgeon with over 15 years of clinical practice experience and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), Dr. Robert Kimmel welcomes the opportunity to help you achieve your goals and enjoy a happier, more confident lifestyle.
