Who Is Giving Your Facial Injections?

Did you know that a physician is supposed to always be on-site whenever an RN, PA or Medical Assistant is performing procedures such as Botox and injectables? 

Whether you get your procedures done at a plastic surgeon's office, a MediSpa, a Day Spa, or even at a GYN or podiatrist's office, an MD must be available to supervise.

A recent industry newsletter advised that the California Medical Board "has increased their efforts to restrict medical aesthetic practices and their 'medispa businesses'." The alert went on to say, "The Medical Board has also significantly increased its enforcement of aesthetic practices that are inadequately supervised by physicians."

We've also read of some horror stories that occur when unlicensed, untrained people perform injections of products that are not approved for use by the FDA. These injections can cause serious complications and even lasting disfigurement.

Texas has had strict rules on "spas" and spa services for many years. That's why Dr. Robert Young or another doctor is always on-site when you're having procedures performed by a Registered Nurse (R.N.) at Aesthetic Enhancement. The bottom line:iIt is good practice to make sure that the place you go for your injectables has a physician on on-site and that your provider has the appropriate training and experience.

Men Now On-Board With Botox®

As reported on Good Morning America this morning (Monday, 01-09-2012), men have joined the ranks of those requesting and receiving Botox® for facial rejuvenation!  Many men, probably a good deal of whom were urged by women in their life, are seeking Botox® to ease the fine lines and wrinkles that appear as we age.

Botox® has long been used by women for treatment of forehead frown lines and wrinkles around the eyes (usually called crows feet).  It's popularity has made it one of the most frequently asked for non-surgical treatments in most plastic surgeon offices.  Properly administered, the effects can significantly reduce wrinkles and take years off the face. We're happy to see that men are removing the stigma of using plastic surgeon services to give them an edge in the workplace, and feel good about themselves in general.

Latisse is here!

You've probably seen the ads on television for Latisse.  Brooke Shields is the spokeswoman who is popularizing the lash lengthening product. Latisse, the amazing product by Allergan (makers of Botox (r)) that thickens and lengthens eyelashes, is now available by prescription through Dr. Young.

Fill your prescription at HEB, then bring in your package's bar code (UPC) and register receipt, and we'll register you for a $20 rebate.

We've tried Latisse here in our Stone Oak office, and we're impressed with the results.  Call Jacque or Brenda at 210-496-2639 and let them know you'd like to try some yourself. A quick appointment at our offices (525 Oak Centre Dr., Suite 260 - San Antonio, Texas) is all it takes!

More Men Looking At Cosmetic Surgery

by Robert N. Young, MD, FACS

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

I've noticed more men coming to my specialty practice for cosmetic surgery procedures over the last year or two. What is most striking is that in addition to the more common liposuction and rhinoplasty, there has been an increase in full facelift, abdominoplasty "tummy tuck" and blepharoplasty "eyelid lift". I am also seeing requests for calf implants, pectoral "pec" implants, and other procedures which promote a more healthy, youthful appearance.

Many articles suggest that both men and women are trying to "put their best foot forward" in terms of remaining competitive in the current job market, and the fact that the number of men coming in for Botox(R) and facial fillers may support this theory.

Male cosmetic plastic surgery seems to be growing in popularity and I am happy to discuss both surgical and non-surgical alternatives to help men achieve their goals.
