Put an End to Unwanted Hair For Good!
Posted March 02, 2010 12:17 PM

Hair RemovalWhile there may still be snow on ground here in Michigan, Spring is just around the corner!  If you are interested in finally becoming stubble-free this summer, now is the time to start the process of laser hair removal!

If you are ready to be done with shaving, tweezing, waxing and wonder creams and all the bumps, rashes and discomfort that come with these procedures, laser hair removal may be right for you.  At Accents, we use the Syneron DSL laser which uses laser and radio frequency technology to disable hair follicles from growing hair.  Since hair grows in cycles, some hair follicles will be in their dormant stage during your initial treatment. Gradually, over several treatments, there is a permanent reduction in the amount of hair in that area.  Our laser has the added advantage of treating large areas very quickly!

Each treatment will result in less hair coming back, as well as hair growing progressively lighter in color, finer, and slower-growing with each treatment. It takes more than 1 treatment to affect all the follicles growing in an area. Most people achieve satisfactory clearance after 6-8 treatments, but individual results vary depending on medical and genetic factors. (Lighter colored hair may require more treatments than darker colored hair.)

Treatments are spaced about a month apart, making March the perfect time to begin laser hair removal so that you can be silky smooth this summer!

MARCH PROMOTION:  All laser hair removal treatments are "Buy One Area, Get One Area FREE" during March! Take advantage of this great special offer and throw away those razors for good!

Does this city make my butt look big?
Posted February 02, 2010 10:13 AM

Thinking about a nose job? Chances are you’re from the Northeast, according to new data released from RealSelf.com, a consumer review site for the cosmetic industry. Permanent makeup more your thing? Then you’re probably from the Southwest.

“We looked at our logs — we’re talking millions of searches — in order to map [regional] consumer interest,” says Tom Seery, president and founder of RealSelf.com  “There were definitely some interesting findings.”

For instance, the Web site’s search data tracked 55 percent more searches for rhinoplasty by people in the Northeast than in other area of the country. And Southerners (people who live in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi and other nearby states) were 30 percent more likely to search for traditional facelifts and related procedures than in other areas.

New Study Shows Lip Injections Can Make You Look More Youthful
Posted February 01, 2010 8:10 AM in Facial Contouring

Lip injections may prove to be just the thing for women who want to look younger without spending lots of money on plastic surgery.

New research suggests that women who want to look years younger may not need to undergo any major plastic surgery — at least not yet. For now, a simple lip injection may do the trick.

Unilever funded a study of more than 250 women of various ages to figure out what feature most separated older women from younger women. According to lead researcher David Gunn, the women who looked young for their age had something in common: thicker lips. Noted Gunn, “It is a feature that is strongly genetically determined and relatively easy to measure.”

Lip augmentation is generally performed with injectable fillers such as collagen, silicone or even fat. The first two fillers are readily available but temporary in their effects. Fat injections last longer, but results are less predictable.. And, more rarely, there is the option of a permanent surgical implant that, unlike the injectable fillers, does not disappear. The side effects of these procedures, which are always possible, include scarring or a lumpy and uneven appearance.

Simply getting bigger lips may not necessarily give the overall youthful appearance women desire. Gunn admitted that women who are elderly – or middle-aged, but with thin lips – may more wisely opt for some facial injections, such as Botox, rather than lip augmentation alone, which “doesn’t counter the impact of a wrinkled face.”

Note: This February, Dr. Berkowitz at Accents Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa is offering a special on Lip Augmentation:  $200 off all fillers and $100 off Permanent Makeup. Call 586-254-7692 to take advantage of this special offer to get youthful, luscious lips!
