Dr. Darshan Shah is the best! I would come to him at any time for any surgery." (More patient reviews can be read at http://www.beautologie.com/about/patient-reviews.)

"We are dedicated to complete patient satisfaction," says Dr. Shah. "We take the greatest care and pay attention to the tiniest details, so that whether we are consulting with a patient for a breast augmentation in Fresno, a laser hair removal in Malibu, or some other cosmetic surgery in our Bakersfield center, we always aim to exceed our patient's expectations and send them away impressed and fully satisfied."

Dr. Shah Trains Patient Coordinators During Educational Weekend Retreat

Bakersfield, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/14/2013 -- Dr. Darshan Shah, the CEO of Beautologie Medical Group, Inc. (http://www.beautologie.com), recently took his Patient Care Coordinators for an educational weekend retreat to perfect even further the friendly service and professional care his center is so well known for.

Dr. Shah educated the staff on the Beautologie standard of total customer satisfaction and making patients happy, and taught them how they can make every patient experience a pleasant and memorable one. Building personal relationships with patients was stressed as both a great benefit and a truly rewarding experience.

"Although we routinely receive rave patient reviews about the customer care in each of our three practices in Malibu, Bakersfield, and Fresno, this is something we will always work to maintain and improve," says Dr. Shah. "Given expert medical skill and a professional staff, which we have, the next most important factor is the training of that staff into all the ins and outs of patient care."

Offering patients choices was a point he went into great detail about in the weekend training sessions. He described how a patient could inquire about a plastic surgery procedure who might actually be a much better candidate for a less invasive procedure, such as laser skin resurfacing, dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers, or varicose vein laser treatment. The staff were excited to learn how to offer patients choices that will fit within their budget and still provide great results.

"It's important that the patient be able to easily talk with their Care Coordinator," says Dr. Shah. "Knowing their Coordinator has their best interests in mind, the patient will open up, and this allows our staff to learn the proper details to make the best recommendations for a doctor or a procedure."

The patient reviews show that Dr. Shah knows how to make patients feel at home. One patient recently wrote, "Not only is Dr. Darshan Shah AMAZING, but so is his entire staff, from the ladies who answered every phone call every time I called, to the registered nurse who had to answer my endless questions." Another wrote, "The staff was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. The nurses and Doctor were excellent. I couldn't have asked for a better experience."

Experienced Cosmetic Surgeon Offers Non-Surgical Procedure to Reduce Wrinkles and Cellulite

Bakersfield, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/28/2013 -- Beautologie (http://www.beautologie.com), a leading cosmetic surgery and laser center with practices in Bakersfield, Malibu and Fresno, now offers Venus Freeze®, a simple and non-invasive treatment that can effectively tighten the skin and reduce cellulite and wrinkles.

The technology uses multi-polar radio frequency (RF) and magnetic pulses to stimulate collagen and elastin fiber development in the skin, thereby making the skin smoother and more elastic. After a surface gel is used to ensure even motion of the applicator, the technician chooses the correct-sized device and applies it in smooth, regular motions across the skin.

"Many women today are looking for an effective cosmetic solution, but may be uneasy about cosmetic surgery," says Beautologie founder Dr. Darshan Shah, a renowned professional who has been voted best plastic surgeon in Bakersfield for 9 years running. "Or they may be concerned about how much plastic surgery may cost. With Venus Freeze®, we can offer them a safe and effective alternative."

"The treatment was not only easy, it felt like a warm massage," says Stella C., a Beautologie client. Another client, Maria D., agrees, adding "It felt like a massage with amazing results. It has the subtle tightening and natural look that I was expecting without surgery."

"It's also short," adds Dr. Shah. "Treatments can even be done over lunch time. Our goal is to provide a safe, pleasant and pain-free experience in our treatments, and our professional team is committed to delivering personalized care and attention to all of our clients' needs."

Program developed to help individuals trying to lose their last 15 to 30 pounds of weight

Bakersfield, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/04/2013 -- Beautologie (http://www.beautologie.com), a leading cosmetic surgery and laser center with locations in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Malibu, today announced a new weight loss program with special pricing. The program was developed to help individuals trying to lose their last 15 to 30 pounds of weight and for clients who want to reach their goal weight before surgery.

"The best way to lose weight is a healthful, gradual progression toward your goal," says Beautologie founder Dr. Darshan Shah. "Our weight loss program is conducted over a period of months, and is a non-invasive and highly effective method of shedding extra pounds."

The Beautologie weight loss program starts with a full physical, followed by regular lab work, including blood work and an EKG every 3 months. Program participants also receive B-12 shots at regular intervals, as well as Phentermine appetite suppressant tablets.

B-12 is a water-soluble vitamin used to boost energy and increase metabolism, which can help speed up the weight loss process. Phentermine was approved by the FDA in 1959, and controls the appetite by stimulating the hypothalamus gland to produce neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters act as signals of being either hungry or full.

"Losing weight before a surgery can facilitate the recovery process and speed up healing," says Dr. Shah. "This program makes it easier for clients to lose weight and meet their target before the surgery takes place."

The Beautologie weight loss program is supervised by a doctor and monitored by a nurse who helps clients with diet counseling. The program is being offered at the special price of $350 per month or $675 for three months, through March 31, 2013.

"January is the one of the best months to begin a new program to improve your health," says Dr. Shah. "It's right after the holidays when we sometimes eat more than usual, and a great time to make New Year's resolutions. Taking off those last few pounds can make a big difference in your appearance and self-confidence."
