Thermage, a safe and simple non-surgical procedure, can reduce the appearance of aging and sagging skin by applying radiofrequency energy to the skin. In the past, surgeries such as face lifts, liposuction, and body contouring were performed to remedy problems like sagging facial skin, loose body skin and stretch marks. For many people, Thermage has been an alternative to surgery with results that have been remarkable. Plus, there’s absolutely no down time or scarring. It is often used for non-surgical brow lifts and non-surgical tightening of facial wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, the face, the neck and, most recently, for tightening loose body skin on the arms, legs, abdomen and buttocks. It can be performed on all skin colors.
Here’s how it works:

• Deep heating. The deep heating of Thermage helps tighten the collagen in your dermis and subcutaneous tissue, while also stimulating the formation of new collagen. As a result, you’ll see tighter, smoother skin and improved tone and texture, starting immediately and continuing in the months following treatment.
•  Integrated cooling. At the same time that Thermage heats the deep layers, it also cools the epidermis, keeping the surface of your skin safe during the procedure. As a result, your skin needs no recovery time, so you can quickly resume your daily routine. There’s no need for anesthesia.
• All from a single treatment. Best of all, you need only one Thermage treatment to get the full benefits. In fact, because it heats so deeply, Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure that helps tighten and contour skin in a single treatment with little or no downtime, as compared to other radiofrequency technologies which require multiple treatments because of their lack of heat uniformity and control.

In 2002, Thermage pioneered the radiofrequency technology for non-invasive skin tightening and contouring. Today, as a result, patient satisfaction is at an all time high, and physicians consider Thermage the industry standard for safe, effective tightening and contouring.
Thermage track record speaks for itself:

•  More than 500,000 Thermage treatments performed in 80 countries—and counting
• More than 50 patents for advanced technology
• The most clinical evidence in the non-invasive aesthetic industry
•  The longest history of safe and effective radiofrequency treatments
•  FDA clearance for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite
• The first and only FDA clearance for non-invasive eyelid treatments

In other words, when you get a Thermage treatment, you can feel confident you’re receiving a safe and effective procedure. Interested in having a more attractive body for your next vacation? Contact CosMed to schedule your appointment

By Michelle Pearl, After Weight Loss Surgery Patient, Author and Fitness Instructor

How many times have you made a promise to yourself to start exercising and then thrown in the towel before the first drop of sweat has had time to form on your upper lip?

There are reasons why getting started with an exercise program can be so difficult, and it has nothing to do with your level of desire, or commitment, or the curse of having your Aunt Martha’s genetic predisposition for thick ankles.

It is your body that is quashing all your good intentions. Did you know that the bones in your body are constantly being broken down and restored and that, in fact, your entire skeleton is replaced approximately every 10 years? Your bones actually reshape and rebuild themselves based on the kind of external and internal forces that they are subjected to. In other words, when it comes to your bone structure, form follows function.

The following success story was sent to us by a patient of Dr. Quiroz who had a Lower Body Lift and Breast Lift with implants at CosMed Clinic in Mexico. She is excited to share part of her journey with you.

Dana’s Story:

Dana, Age 36. Procedures: Lower Body Lift, Breast Lift with Implants. Weight Loss: 190 lbs

“When I was overweight, I only watched others enjoyed themselves and couldn’t participate in any physical activity. Besides that, being diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 30 and suffering from very high blood pressure pushed me to loose the weight. I managed to loose up to 100 lbs alone but gained them back, I knew I could do it, but needed help. That’s when I decided to have Gastric By-pass surgery and I lost 198lbs.

Health-wise I felt much, much better after the surgery but could not say the same for my self-image. I had a tremendous excess of skin all over my body following the weight-loss, and was very conscious of it.

I started to research on the internet about after weight loss surgery and found CosMed and Dr. Quiroz. A friend, and I went to our first consultation, and I was so impressed with CosMed Clinic. As a clinic, the facilities were impeccable, and the staff very helpful and professional, but most importantly, Dr. Quiroz’s willingness to answer any questions and his kind treatment convinced me to have the surgery the next week.

The surgeries I had were a little painful and the extended recoveries were uncomfortable, but when I look at myself today, I feel I would do it all over again.

Dr. Quiroz helped me become a participant in life, instead of an observer. I can rollerblade with my kids, dance, and most of all, to enjoy great health without any medication or worry. I recommend this to anyone who is going through something similar to what I went through that wants to transform their life.”

The following story was submitted  by one of our Post-Bariatric (After Weight Loss) patients. To read more of her stories about after weight loss surgery in Mexico, visit Marika's blog

While I was not required to stay in Mexico for the length of time I did, I decided to take all the time I might need to recover and be closer to  Dr. Quiroz and his wonderfully efficient staff at CosMed Clinic, Tijuana. Mexico.

I traveled by myself to the clinic and wanted to make sure I would be able to care for myself when I returned home. I had a lower body lift as well as having my buttocks filled out with a fat transfer and braquioplasty done on my arms.

At the conclusion of my surgery, there were two drains for my stomach and a small drain for each of my arms. I decided to leave Mexico after all the drains and stitches were removed from my body. My surgery was on a Monday and Dr. Quiroz removed two of the four drains on the Friday following my procedure. The following Tuesday he removed another drain leaving me with one remaining drain. The final drain was removed a few days later and home I went a couple of days after that.

I had the opportunity to stay at either a five star hotel or the home of a local person in Mexico. I wanted to feel safe. I didn’t want to draw attention to myself. I felt vulnerable and wanted to be invisible. I thought about it and decided to stay with someone who spoke the language fluently, knew their way around town and would treat me like a visiting friend. If I were to go to Europe, let’s say to Greece, I would love to go with my friend Dennis who was born and raised there. I would love to go to the local places that only a resident knows about, not the tourist traps that the concierge in a high end hotel tells you about.  I didn’t need to go to places that accepted/welcomed Carte Blanche, or the platinum American Express card.

IN PHOTO: CosMed’s team checked on me often. And when I was feeling better, I enjoyed some of the sites with the generous local woman who took care of me during my recovery.

A member of the CosMed team phoned to check on me often.         Dr. Quiroz is in the loop of everything that goes on in or around his clinic.  I never felt alone or uncomfortable. I stayed at the home of a local woman named Irene. She told me the first few days would be the most difficult; that my only job was to rest and allow my body to heal. It became a lot easier from that point on, Irene was right for the first three days all I did was take my medication, sleep and eat. She changed my bandages; made sure I took my meds on time, and took me for my follow up appointments. I maintained a low profile, rested, walked up and down the block for exercise by her lovely home. When I was feeling better and Irene wasn’t busy we went out for an afternoon drive and even went out for lunch together a couple of times.

During my stay I met a number of other women and men who also shared the same view of our recovery time in Mexico.  While I enjoy beautifully appointed hotels and all the amenities they have to offer I felt certain that I made the right decision to stay in the home of a local person who made me feel so welcomed and cared for.

Tune in to LifeTime Television at 7am - 8am et/pt on December 6, 2010. Or catch the show online at CosMedClinic.com after it airs!

Dr. Quiroz speaks with the hosts of The Balancing Act about cosmetic surgery options in Mexico and how Americans and Canadians are saving thousands on cosmetic surgery procedures with board certified surgeons in Tijuana.
