Tampa Surgeon Dr. Rich Castellano performs exclusive ImageLift® facelift procedures and Laser Lyte skin tightening for full-spectrum cosmetic enhancement

Tampa, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/05/2014 -- Tampa, Florida cosmetic surgeon Dr. Rich Castellano of ImageLift® plastic surgery center is offering in-office facelifts in conjunction with Laser Lyte skin tightening to achieve a balanced, overall beautification of the face and neck. The combination of advanced ImageLift facelift and Laser Lyte skin tightening procedures create a healthy, youthful vibrancy that reveals the true beauty of each patient's face beneath years of wrinkles, sagging skin, eyelid creasing and flabby jowls. The latest technology is used by Dr. Castellano to perform the ImageLift facelift in three different degrees, small, medium and large, depending on the results of the initial consultation and the desired outcome of each patient. Dr. Castellano and his ImageLift physicians exclusively developed this advanced technique that has resulted in thousands of satisfied patients.

Rather than the methods and outcomes of a traditional facelift, the ImageLift facelift instead focuses on tightening facial muscles and removing excess skin. This procedure is enhanced by the application of the Laser Lyte skin tightening treatment (laser lipolysis) for the face and neck. When the combination procedures are performed, the ImageLift physician does a medium or large lift with laser light tightening at the same time. Laser lipolysis reverses elasticity loss in the flesh of the neck and chin area, where jowls form as the skin loosens over time. The ImageLift facelift tightens the underlying muscle layer of the face and neck, which also softens smile lines, while the laser lipolysis helps tighten the neck and jawline skin, reducing wrinkles and any loose, sagging spots.

The initial consultation allows the ImageLift physician to determine which lift degree is right for each patient and whether or not the combination treatment is the right choice. Once decided, the physician performs the ImageLift and Laser Lyte treatment, simultaneously if possible. None of these treatments require general anesthesia, and recovery is shorter than is experienced in most traditional facelifts, but does vary depending on the chosen treatments. The combination ImageLift/Laser Lyte procedure has been well-documented, with consistently positive results. Following treatment, results last for years. Dr. Castellano and the experts at ImageLift are committed to the performance of the most advanced procedures possible, helping achieve positive results for each patient.

Tampa cosmetic surgeons at ImageLift recommend Artefill® for lasting reduction of wrinkles and smile lines

Tampa, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/26/2014 -- ImageLift, a cosmetic surgery clinic in Tampa, Florida, is in the process of becoming a national center for excellence and training in the Artefill® facial filler procedure. Artefill® is the only FDA-approved filler for smile lines that does not break down and become absorbed back into the body over time. That makes it one of the longest-lasting non-surgical methods to be proven effective in treating wrinkles around the mouth. The double-board certified cosmetic surgeons at ImageLift are experts both in performing and teaching the Artefill® procedure.

The Artefill® procedure offered by ImageLift is most commonly used to soften the creases that appear around the mouth with age, also known as smile lines or nasolabial folds. A reduction in the severity of these wrinkles should be visible immediately following the treatment, with more dramatic results coming after one or two additional injections. Once the treatments are complete, patients can expect results for up to five years.

To minimize the potential for adverse effects, all ImageLift patients are given a basic skin test to determine if they are good candidates for the procedure. Once a patient is cleared to receive the Artefill® treatment, a short appointment is scheduled. Most people experience little to no discomfort and can resume normal activities as soon as they leave the office. Any swelling and redness around the injection site will typically go away within hours of the procedure having been completed.

Tampa cosmetic surgeon Dr. Rich Castellano discusses laser lipolysis procedure, application and budget for patients considering treatment

Tampa, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/24/2014 -- Dr. Rich Castellano of ImageLift, Tampa cosmetic surgery practice, has published a casual discussion of the pros and cons of laser lipolysis and what type of patient may best benefit from the procedure. ImageLift's laser lipolysis treatment is a non-surgical, minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure which tightens the sagging skin of the patient's neck and facial areas. Laser lipolysis occurs when laser light is used to create a tightening underneath the skin surface. This treatment is highly effective at eliminating the unsightly fatty tissues which cause a loosening and sagging of the skin in these target areas. Among the newest innovations in facial plastic surgery, laser lipolysis does not require post-treatment stitches, since there is no scalpel used at all. The nature and minimal-invasiveness of the treatment often results in same-day release and return to normal activity for the patient.

During the laser lipolysis procedure, a tiny fiber laser is inserted underneath the outer skin surface. Sweeping gently back and forth allows the laser fiber to come in contact with the targeted fatty cells, surrounding tissue and skin. This causes the unwanted fat cells to rupture and drain and the targeted collagen shrinks, resulting in a tightening of the skin and a reduction in fat. Since each patient has unique needs and goals when considering cosmetic procedures, it's important to weigh these factors during consultation to determine with the doctor which procedure is the right one. ImageLift considers every patient's situation and provides guidance toward the most beneficial approach. Often, laser lipolysis is a viable option, based on a person's goals, anatomy, and budget. For some patients, laser lipolysis is a valuable method for reducing smile lines and wrinkles on the cheeks and around the mouth.

Laser lipolysis achieves years-long results for most patients. The patient's sculpted neck and jowl area remains improved long after surgery due to the effectiveness of the thermal skin-tightening laser fiber technique. As fat is melted, collagen production is stimulated, providing a firmer tissue less prone to inhabitation by the build-up of fatty cells over time. The results of laser lipolysis are impressive considering the lack of any type of stitching or cutting of skin. Additional laser tightening treatments could be prescribed for enhanced results, depending on the patient. ImageLift physicians are double board-certified facial plastic surgeons and as such are experts in applying laser lipolysis treatments for lasting, positive results.
