I notice you’re offering a lot of services I’d typically associate with a plastic surgeon, not a dentist. Why is that? Dental school trains you to thoroughly understand the body from the neck up, and if someone comes in and makes their smile look great, why wouldn’t they want the frame around that smile to be as attractive as the smile itself? Do you need separate training beyond dental school? I’ve received my training on injectables—Botox, Juviderm, Rabiesse, Xyomin, Belloterro, etc—from the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. They recommend seeing dentists for these procedures, and I’ve completed the highest level of training they offer. Any doctor could buy products and begin using them, but I’ve had hands-on training with certified professionals. Do you offer services beyond injectables? We’ve just started using SculpSure, which is a diode laser technology that obliterates fat under the skin. It’s similar to how I use lasers in dentistry that just target gum tissue. This laser just targets the fatty tissue, so it doesn’t burn the skin—it's transmitted through the skin and absorbed by the fatty tissue, which it destroys permanently.
Who is the right patient for this procedure? This is for someone who is maybe 25lbs overweight but can’t lose that stubborn fat—no matter how many sit-ups you do, it won’t go away. Someone who’s had children knows that sometimes that baby weight just won’t go away. It's for people who work out but can’t get rid of that under-arm fat, or the fat on the inner and outer thighs. It can even help with double chins. To me, this was the obvious next step in the progression of my practice—people were asking if I could help with places beyond their face, so I decided to incorporate more esthetic services. So, do you offer multiple esthetic services? We’re introducing Think Skin at the Brighten Bar with Dr Laurene. We’ve added a new team member, Rima, who will be handling those esthetic services day-to-day. Rima studied to become a professional esthetician, and she is concentrating on anti-aging regimens. Appointments will include an in-depth, one-on-one consultation, skin asset analysis, and the development of a skin retirement plan just for you. Services include dermaplaning, chemical peels, enzyme treatments, LED light treatments, deep pore cleansing and anti-aging massage. And, because this takes placed in a licensed medical office, we are able to utilize advanced, medical-grade equipment that other providers cannot. Sounds like you’re the one-stop-shop for people looking for a little help brightening and enhancing their appearance. We have built our expertise on faces and anti-aging, and our sole focus is providing products and services— like SculpSure—that offer the highest efficacy, in the least amount of time, at the most reasonable cost.
