2. The skin tightening capabilities are unmatched. Therefore, even people with loose skin can now be candidates for these body sculpting procedures.


3. It is the only device that can be used for advanced areas of bodysculpting like the face, neck and arms. With Smartlipo of these areas, many people can avoid the need for a face, neck and arm lifting surgery.

Improving Body Contour or Achieving Body Enhancement

We all have problem areas of the body that we would like to improve. Fortunately, many options exist for improving body contour or achieving body enhancement. The trick is finding the right procedure or procedures for your needs.


Much can be done surgically to enhance the appearance of your breasts. By adding volume with breast implants, a permanent improvement in breast shape and proportion is easily obtained. Achieving a natural result that is appealing with or without clothing is critical, and should be the focus of the surgeon and the patient. When considering implants, we focus on four key areas: the type, shape, feel and placement of the implant. One solution does not fit all! Saline and silicone implants are the two most common options, and there are pros and cons to each. Silicone provides a more natural feel, but saline implants require less monitoring. More recently, we have also begun to improve breast shape with fat transfer procedures, shaping the breasts with fat from the patient’s love handles or abdomen.

Tummy tucks are transformative, easily changing your abdomen from ordinary to extraordinary in one procedure. Just as with breast augmentation, no one solution is right for everyone. You may want a traditional tummy tuck, where the area above the belly button and down to the bikini line is corrected. This results in the tightest and firmest look. Or, if you prefer, we can improve the area just below the belly button with a mini-tuck. If you also want to get rid of love handles or lower back fat, we often combine a tummy tuck with one of the new generation liposuction procedures (Vaser or SmartLipo). Ultimately, these procedures drastically improve the appearance of the trunk (waist, abdomen and pubic area), and in some cases even tighten the muscle layer of the abdomen.

With only a few hours in the office or operating room and with manageable downtime, we are able to transform those problem areas of your body. Call today for an appointment with Dr. Martin to discuss your body contouring and enhancement options.

SUMMERTIME IS BODY TIME

After a long winter and a chilly spring, it's finally heating up outside, and that means fewer clothes and more pool time. Getting our bodies ready for summer is at the top of almost everyone's to-do list. At VITAHL, we have some great body solutions, both surgical and non-surgical, that can help you get in shape for summer fun. You can tackle that unwanted fat with one or a combination of treatments:

VASER Lipo and SmartLipo remove fat from the inside, without the harsher techniques required by traditional liposuction. These procedures are performed under local anesthesia in our office, and most patients are back to their normal routines after a few days.

Not ready for surgery, but still want to get bikini ready? VASER Shape uses ultrasound technology to contour your body from the outside, breaking down fat tissue. This fat is then absorbed by your body and excreted naturally.

Tired of cellulite? Try SmoothShapes, a treatment that rejuvenates collagen and improves the appearance of dimpled skin. This is a painless procedure that uses contoured rollers and vacuum massage.

Want it all? You can combine SmartLipo, VASER Lipo, VASER Shape and SmoothShapes in a multitude of ways to get the best outcome for your body- shaping desires. Or, if you're looking for a more dramatic change, such as a breast augmentation or tummy tuck, schedule a consultation with our on-staff, board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jason Martin. Please call our office today at 303.388.7380 for a consultation to help you decide which body treatment is right for you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Humes

PREPARE FOR A WRINKLE-FREE HOLIDAY SEASON

The holidays are here, believe it or not, and whether it’s the office party, a neighborhood or family gathering, or the annual holiday bash, you want to partake in the fun, while looking and feeling your best and with so many soirees to attend, your skin can be very telling of your holiday habits. This time of year typically increases stress levels, and coupled with little or no sleep, skin flaws, like wrinkles, are much more apparent. And because the cold, dry Colorado air robs skin of its natural moisture and makes it parched, fine lines become more noticeable.



So how can you keep your skin glowing and your wrinkles from showing? There are several solutions to keep common wrinkles like crow’s feet, smile lines and skin laxity at bay. Regular morning and nighttime cleaning and moisturizing with medical grade skin care offer one option, so you need to be committed every day. For more specific issues, you might want to explore plastic surgery. Although plastic surgery used to require weeks of down time, procedures like office-based Vaser Lipo now offered by VITAHL, are less invasive so you can still be ready for the holidays. VITAHL also has several quick-fix treatments for a wrinkle-free social season. Click here for more information on Vaser Lipo.



Whether it’s BOTOX®, a simple, 10-minute, non-surgical process; Laser Genesis, which leaves your skin glowing and refreshed; Dermal Fillers, that plump, restore volume and reshape; or Pearl Resurfacing, to treat deep-layer wrinkles, you can look fresh, fierce and fabulous with little to no recovery time and a huge impact. Click on the treatment names listed above to read more information on each.



So call VITAHL at 303.388.7380 or visit our office in Cherry Creek to discuss or schedule any of our fabulous treatments and start out your holiday season and 2011 looking years younger and feeling confident and ready for anything!

HOW TIME DOES FLY!

I cannot believe that the holiday season is fast approaching! It feels like only a few weeks ago, it was June first. We were all looking forward to the heat of the summer sun, and we were planning our summer vacations. Now, the leaves are changing, and Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away. The next thing we know, we will be celebrating the New Year. As we look towards Thanksgiving, I find myself thinking about how much there is to be thankful for in 2010.



It has been a great year for VITAHL. As many of you know, we celebrated five years in business this past September, and we also welcomed Dr. Jason Martin, a renowned plastic surgeon, to the practice. With the addition of Dr. Martin to the VITAHL family, we now offer both office-based Vaser Lipo and Smart Lipo Body Contouring, which have been met with great enthusiasm. In his short time at VITAHL, Dr. Martin is already in high demand for office-based liposuction and Blepharoplaties (upper and lower eyelid surgery), as well as full face and body cosmetic surgery. We are so happy to have him on board, and I truly enjoy having another doctor in the office who broadens the treatments we offer at VITAHL. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate VITAHL’S fifth anniversary and to welcome Dr. Martin to the VITAHL family. It was a great party! Click here for some photos.



This year has also brought to VITAHL one of our strongest teams of employees – some have been with us for a year or more, and we have added a few new staff members that we have been so happy to welcome to the VITAHL family. We are a cohesive unit, and I want you all to be able to get to know this staff. We will be introducing them to you, one by one, in the New Year.


Thank you to all our loyal patients for helping to make 2010 a year to remember!

Happy Birthday VITAHL!

We are 5 years old today!! Happy Birthday VITAHL!! Can't believe that 5 years ago today we had our last inspection on VITAHL with the dreaded city inspectors, and we officially opened our doors for business on 09/01/05 with zero patients in our system, but many waiting for the day we opened. We slowly booked a few that month, and then grew and grew! 5 years later, we have gone from ZERO patients to a database of over 5000 patients, with about 3000 of these being active patients. We have increased gross revenue, even despite a down economy, and we continue to grow. A lot has changed in 5 years! I am looking forward to all our new stuff as our 6th year in business begins ..... Dr. Martin joining the VITAHL family, VASERshape and VASERlipo launches this month, White Lightening being released this month .... Lots of excitement for our great team!!
