Move over Botox, there’s a new facial treatment in town and its entirely natural and entirely safe.

A new cutting-edge injectable procedure is fast lowering Botox cost or replacing the procedure altogether among A-listers. “Platelet facial rejuvenation” injections provide clients with a more youthful, glowing appearance.

Dr. Roberto Viel of the London Centre for Aesthetic Surgery is one of the world’s most recognized cosmetic surgeons and beauty specialist. Over the last 10 years, Dr. Viel has been responsible for pioneering and introducing most of the cosmetic surgery procedures that are available today.

Dr. Viel has now formulated a way to activate a patient’s own stem cells and harness their miracle-like rejuvenating qualities.

By taking a sample of the patient’s blood, Dr Viel’s new system then separates the blood platelets from the plasma. These platelets are then injected directly into the patient’s face.

This revolutionary Platelet Injection Therapy means that the blood platelets activate the natural stem cells that exist in the facial tissue and stimulate your own skin cells to produce collagen and elastin and therefore rejuvenate the skin.

Dr. Roberto Viel has long and successful history in the medical field. To name but a few, he pioneered the VASER Lipo procedure which is now used all over the world and is the most popular form of Lipo on the market. He developed the penoplasty procedure and has also been at the forefront of breast augmentation procedures and facial rejuvenation.

Always striving to offer patients the best and latest procedures but reducing downtime and discomfort, Dr. Viel continues to push boundaries of patient care with the best possible natural results.

Furthermore, the introduction of the blood platelets into the face ensures longer survival of the natural fat that exists in the face. As we age, the face often loses fat and therefore that healthy plump look; so the fat often needs replacing.

Dr. Viel’s platelet injections mean that the fat present will last longer … however, if the patient requires volume, Dr. Viel can also add fat using his PIFT system with which the added fat can last up to five times longer than any other form of fat transfer and the absorption rate is only between 10% and 20% depending on each individual patient.

Men have a reputation for avoiding the doctor’s office, even when they’re sick. But lots of them are opting to go in for non-medical reasons.

Plastic surgeons are reporting an uptick in the number of male patients seeking slimmer waists and stronger jaw lines — up 16 percent from 2002 to 2007, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgery.

Local physicians say they’ve seen more men, especially since the start of the year.

Once considered a strictly female practice, plastic surgery is gaining popularity among American men. With the wide variety of procedures available, there is something that will appeal to everyone, regardless of gender. Even female favorites like Botox and liposuction are being tailored to suit men’s needs. So, what do you have to lose? A few wrinkles?

The effects of aging are often the targets for cosmetic surgery. Wrinkles, double chins, and sagging skin can all make you look and feel older. Although a few lines around the eyes may be considered distinguished on a man’s face, turkey necks and hollow eyes won’t add much class to your mature aura.

Liposuction under the neck, mini facelifts, and injectables can fill in, what time has taken away. All of the procedures have lasting effects and are subtle enough, so no one at the office is going to whisper behind your back.

A mini facelift and liposuction have a fairly minimal recovery time (between one and two weeks), it may leave few discrete scars, and will give you a refreshed, but not overly youthful appearance. For a mini facelift, the skin around the nasolabial folds and neck is pulled back and tightened.

Often liposuction is used in conjunction to remove excess fat cells that collect below the chin. A hollow tube is placed in an incision below the chin. It is moved back and forth, sucking up the fat and leaving a sleeker looking neck. A combination of injectables can also be used to perform a less invasive version of a facelift. Filler is pumped into hollows to plump them up, and it can also erase deep furrows as well as fine lines.

Liposuction is also the answer to a variety of other cosmetic concerns. Help for love handles, pot bellies, and male breast reduction are all commonly sought plastic surgeries. Men may find that exercise and diet alone will not eliminate the fat deposits in stubborn areas. When this is the case, liposuction is often the only alternative. This is especially true as the body ages and becomes more prone to sagging and weight gain. Liposuction can be a permanent solution to banish the unwanted fatty areas.

Another popular procedure among men is Rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can shave down bumps, straighten crooked bridges, and even add height to noses that appear too feminine on a male face. In order to create a pleasing facial harmony, chin augmentation is often performed at the same time. A receding or small chin can make a big nose appear even larger, and a strong jaw line is often the landmark of a chiseled, masculine face. When performed together, these two plastic surgeries can transform a weak profile into a more sculptured and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Although women may seek out cosmetic procedures more often than men, there is no reason to feel intimidated or alone. New techniques and procedures allow for minimal scarring and quick recoveries. Plus, cosmetic surgeons are sensitive, and all of your information is kept confidential. No one has to know why you look so good.
