SmartLipo Update
We are pleased to report the phenomenal results from the SmartLipo treatment at our facility. The combination of SmartLipo plus the tumescent method have resulted in recoveries even easier than before and results even more impressive. We have seen abdominal liposuction results, including tightening of the area, that exceed our expectations, making it unnecessary for a tummy tuck after the procedure. Additionally, the amount of fat removed has been about 25% more than with previous treatments. Lastly, the patient recovery time is such that people can return to work within a day or two. Just last week we had a patient who was back to work within one day of the procedure, prompting one of her co-workers to schedule a consultation and a procedure herself!

If you are interested in getting SmartLipo done before one more summer goes by, give us a call now at (402) 334-7546 or email Rachael@LovelySkin.com.

VelaShape Results for Cellulite and Shape Reduction

Update on Reloxin, a new Botox Competitor

Vitamin D

A recent report showed that Vitamin D levels are directly associated with improved odds against breast cancer. Reports on TV encouraged people to get 15 minutes of sunlight twice weekly in order to get appropriate Vitamin D in their body. What they forgot to say is that even walking to a car in the wintertime, it is quite likely that most people will easily get the required amount of Vitamin D. Additionally, if people mistakenly go to fake tanning booths for their exposure, they are unlikely to get the proper light for Vitamin D, as the bulbs in tanning booths don't typically have that type of light.

If you are concerned about Vitamin D levels, you can have these checked by your physician very easily with a blood test. Most individuals will have excellent levels if they eat a balanced diet and if salmon products are a part of the diet. Supplements can also assist in keeping levels high.
