PLASTIC SURGERY

Q: Do you recommend any treatments before or after plastic surgery? A: Prior to and after body surgery, I recommend a massage by a Licensed Massage Therapist to help loosen and relax your entire body. LMT’s are trained, experienced and licensed to perform deep tissue, relaxation and hot stone massages. Make sure your masseuse is an LMT.

While a Facial is beneficial to prepare your skin for surgery, I strongly recommend a variety of face and skin treatments, even if you aren’t having surgery. We all know that skin is the largest organ in the body. In particular, facial skin needs regular cleansing, nourishment, hydration, and protection – all which a Facial can accomplish. We offer anti-aging, deep cleansing, therapeutic acne, and sensitive skin Facials, to specifically treat different skin types.

In addition to Facials, other treatments can support your skin’s health and appearance by stimulating cell turnover, increasing circulation, and renewing tone and texture. I recommend that you only have a Licensed Aesthetician perform these treatments, such as HydraFacials, Waxing, Perfect Peel, Microderm, and Glycolic Peels. Our Aesthetician also offers one-hour relaxing sessions, which address facial pressure points by incorporating massage, reflexology and aroma therapy to leave you feeling serene, pampered and beautiful. I also recommend a Visia Skin Complexion Analysis to assess your skin’s needs, relative to tone, texture and elasticity. If you mention this article, my staff will perform this custom analysis at no cost with any skin treatment. Also ask my staff about my custom “Vanek Cosmeceutical” products, a potent prescription specifically formulated for different skin types, with a combination of natural / botanical extracts, and active vitamins and antioxidants.
