Tampa, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/07/2017 -- Local plastic surgeon Dr. David E. Halpern of Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery, Inc. is now offering pricing commensurate to nurse practitioners and non-plastic surgeon MDs on all injectables, including BOTOX® Cosmetic and wrinkle fillers. Patients benefit from the anatomic knowledge and technical expertise of Dr. Halpern, who has been injecting BOTOX® and fillers since 1996, while paying rates similar to other Tampa area practitioners with less experience.

As people age, the collagen in their face breaks down, resulting in a loss of elasticity. Wrinkles are another inevitability, showing up most noticeably in the forehead and around the mouth. Injectables, like the ones offered by Dr. David Halpern, allow patients to restore a youthful appearance in just a few minutes. They replace volume and relax muscles, easing away frown lines, worry lines, and crow's feet.

Dr. David Halpern personally meets with patients for a one-on-one consultation, administers the injectable himself, and holds a follow-up to discuss results. No nurses or physicians assistants perform injectables at Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery -- instead, Dr. David Halpern completes each procedure himself to ensure the safest, most attractive results. As a triple-board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Halpern knows how to look at a patient's face and notice nuanced lines and expressions as he does injections. Much like when he operates, the doctor's skill and ability allow him to be meticulous in his work and provide personalized treatment. His practice offers competitive prices on a variety of injectables, including Radiesse, Dysport, Sculptra®, Restylane®, and BOTOX®.

Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable that stimulates the body's own natural collagen production, making treatment results both immediate and long lasting. Sculptra is an injectable solution that builds collagen in a patient's face as it breaks down naturally over time; a series of three injections over 4-6 weeks is usually recommended. Another injectable offered at Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery, Dysport, smooths the appearance of wrinkles using abobotulinumtoxinA and can be done during one visit with noticeable results in two to three days. The only place to get these injectables and fillers performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in the Tampa Bay area is at Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery, Inc.

Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery has provided plastic surgery services with an emphasis on patient safety and satisfaction. The staff are experienced, qualified, and licensed when applicable. Dr. David Halpern is considered an expert in plastic, cosmetic, and reconstructive surgery, and was named one of the Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in Florida for 2017 by the American Institution of Plastic Surgeons.

Board Certified Dr. David Halpern and his amazing team at Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery are currently offering great deals on popular injections.

Tampa, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/12/2016 -- Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery wants to help their clients have the best year to date. From now through February, Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery is offering promotional specials on three of their most popular products: Radiesse, Dysport, and Sculptra. "Sometimes called a 'Liquid Facelift,' these advanced dermal fillers act to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds, gently lifting facial features and restoring natural contours," says Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery. As a result of these fillers, patients generally report a more rested, friendlier appearance and an added, youthful lift. All three injections are administered by board certified Dr. David Halpern himself.

Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery offers all patients who buy a 1.5 ml box of Radiesse at $675 a second box at 50% off. Radiesse acts as a wrinkle filler by plumping the skin; it works best to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. "The benefits of Radiesse continue by naturally stimulating your body's own natural collagen production," says Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery. Results have been seen to last a year or more.

Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery is also offering 60-80 units of Dysport for only $350! This injectable form of Botulinum Toxin A works to temporarily incapacitate the muscles responsible for involuntary facial spasms that create undesirable wrinkles. The best areas for this treatment are fine lines and wrinkles such as crow's feet, deep forehead creases, and furrows between the eyebrows. Dysport is a one-time treatment that produces noticeable results within two to three days. Effects generally last between six and nine months.

Lastly, Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery is offering a full vial of Sculptra for just $700, which is a $200 savings. This dermal stimulator works to stimulate the skin's natural growth and collagen production. The benefit to using Sculptra is that results emerge gradually for a more natural looking appearance. "The Sculptra filler works gradually in a series of treatments over a period of a few months," says Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery. Effects last up to 2 years, and in some cases longer.

All three injections are FDA-approved and injected below the surface of the skin using a thin needle by Dr. David Halpern.

Dr. David Halpern, an experienced triple-board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in dermal fillers and injectables in Tampa Bay, FL, is announcing a generous fall promotion that saves patients on their wrinkle treatments from now through December.

Tampa, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/22/2015 -- Autumn is the ideal time to get a fresher, more youthful face with school starting up again and the holidays just around the corner. The summer months tend to be busiest for plastic surgery offices, so patients can find excellent markdowns on dermal fillers and other injectables once the weather cools off.

From now through the month of December, Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery and Dr. David Halpern are offering the following deals:

- Sculptra: $900 (1st vial), $750 (2nd vial), and $650 (3rd vial)
- Restylane Silk & Perlane: $500 (1st syringe), $400 (2nd syringe) and $300 (3rd syringe)
- Botox, Dysport & Xeomin: $375 for crow's feet and forehead wrinkle treatment

Individual needs are assessed through a consultation with Dr. David Halpern himself. He will choose the right product, amount and delivery method to best suit the patient. Sculptra treatments typically require multiple vials and treatments spaced a week apart, whereas Restylane, Perlane, Botox, Dysport and Xeomin treatment can be done all in one trip.

Dermal fillers are used to restore volume, rebuild collagen and smooth out moderate to severe wrinkles or folds. Restylane Silk and Perlane Silk treat the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and jowls for six to 12 months. Sculptra treats nasolabial folds, smile lines, marionette lines and chin wrinkles for up to two years.

Popular injectables like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin temporarily paralyze or weaken the muscles responsible for creating deep eye and forehead wrinkles for three to six months.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. David Halpern also specializes in "Liquid Gold" treatments that use the body's own fat reserves to fill in areas of lost volume for natural, long-lasting results. He is happy to speak with patients about the pros and cons of a full facelift to address more advanced signs of aging.

"The message is: you can get a good deal on wrinkle treatments without going to a bargain bin aesthetic center where you're smooth-talked by a cosmetic surgeon and an unqualified assistant does the actual injections. Here at Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery, I personally do all the treatments myself, so you're taken care of by a triple-board-certified plastic surgeon that has been using these products for over a decade."

Individuals seeking more information on non-surgical wrinkle treatments are invited to contact us or call 813-871-5000 to book a consultation at Dr. David Halpern's South Tampa, Florida office located at 120 Fremont Street.

Dr. David Halpern is an experienced triple-board-certified plastic surgeon serving patients in Tampa Bay, FL. Upon learning that Lifestyle Lift in Tampa is closing, he invites patients who are being left high and dry without post-operative care to come in for top-level service.

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/26/2015 -- This month, 40 Lifestyle Lift cosmetic surgery centers across the country will be closing, including one right here in Tampa. Some patients worry they have lost deposits for surgeries they'll never have, while others who have recently undergone procedures are left with nowhere to turn for post-operative care.

Dr. David Halpern is a triple-board-certified plastic surgeon, with credentials in plastic surgery, general surgery, and micro-hand surgery. Patient safety is of paramount concern to Dr. David Halpern, which is why he encourages all former Lifestyle Lift patients to seek expert care, rather than simply seeing a general practitioner who may not understand all the intricacies involved in cosmetic surgery.

The Lifestyle Lift story highlights several big areas of concern for plastic surgery centers. First, several patient reviews posted on RealSelf.com and ConsumerAffairs.com mentioned that, following their procedure, they were unable to see any doctors, let alone the surgeons who did the work. Dr. David Halpern's patients always have direct access to him, a responsible medical doctor who cares.

Other questions patients should ask before deciding on a plastic surgery practice include: "Does my doctor have practicing privileges at the local hospital, should I require more advanced care?" and "Is the plastic surgery center meet state requirements for accreditation?"

Dr. David Halpern's practice, Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery, Inc., is a state-accredited surgical facility. He has more than 15 years of experience and has practicing privileges at Tampa General Hospital, where he is Chief of the Plastic Surgery Department.

"I think patient safety will always draw attention and is actually our first and foremost goal while evaluating and treating patients in our practice," says Dr. David Halpern. "My training, certification from three medical boards, and many years of experience separate me from the pretenders who may be offering cheaper deals. In this industry, you truly get what you pay for."

Former Lifestyle Lift patients are invited to contact Dr. David Halpern directly for expert post-operative care, revision surgery requests, new consultations, or with any questions and concerns they may have at 813-871-5000 or http://www.davidhalpernmd.com/contact-us/

Triple-Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. David Halpern is offering a Strawberry Laser special in Tampa, FL for those interested in losing 1-3 inches from the waistline per treatment.

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/18/2015 -- It's not too late to get a bikini-ready body in time for summer, says Tampa plastic surgeon Dr. David Halpern. The LiLa Strawberry Laser is an exciting innovation that allows patients the ability to lose inches from their waistlines, without surgery. While results vary, it's not uncommon for someone to lose 1-3 inches per session. Dr. David Halpern is offering patients an early bird special of 50% off the normal price of laser treatment for all sessions booked in the month of March.

"By far, the most common area treated is the lower abdomen, where stubborn fat deposits persist, despite dieting and exercising," explains Dr. David Halpern, adding that love handles, thighs, back fat, and the upper stomach can also be targeted. "This time of year, I do a lot of Strawberry Laser treatments along with breast augmentation and breast lift surgeries to re-contour the body in time for bikini season."

Patients have described the feeling of Strawberry Laser treatment as similar to "a warm blanket placed over the stomach." The painless 20-minute treatment can easily be done on a lunch break, with no adverse side effects or discomfort afterward. The laser stimulates the fat cells to break down stored triglycerides that are then excreted as sweat or urine. Exercise and drinking lots of water will aid the body in this process.

For the month of March, Dr. David Halpern is offering sessions for $150 each, marked down from the usual price of $375. Patients can come as often as they'd like, but the recommended number of sessions for most patients is eight, done once or twice a week.

People choose Dr. David Halpern for his expertise, experience, and excellent safety profile. Some centers offering laser treatments employ people who have only spent a few hours in training. However, Dr. David Halpern is a local expert in Strawberry Laser treatments. He is a medical doctor with board certification from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, certified in plastic surgery, general surgery, and micro-hand surgery. He has more than 15 years of surgical experience and has been working with the LiLa Strawberry Laser since its debut in January 2013. Due to his extensive knowledge of the system, Dr. David Halpern has been invited to appear on popular television programs like The Doctors and The Rachael Ray Show to discuss the benefits of laser body sculpting with the Strawberry Laser.

Dr. David Halpern discusses factors to consider when choosing a plastic surgeon, where to find plastic surgeon reviews online, and which patient safety resources are truly reputable.

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/18/2015 -- Choosing a plastic surgeon is a difficult task that requires diligence and research. It can be helpful to begin searching for a surgeon using a checklist that includes all of the most important considerations. Last week, Dr. David Halpern, a triple-board-certified plastic surgeon from Tampa Bay, Florida, offers a free compendium of resources for prospective plastic surgery clients that will help them make their decision.

"I'd like to tell everyone, 'Sure, come on in and see me,'" says Dr. David Halpern, "but the reality is that even the best plastic surgeon has patients he must turn away. Training, experience, and certification are all important places to start one's search, but communication, rapport, and patient experience from the initial consultation onwards are the factors that really seal the deal."

In his blog, he outlines the following:

- How to tell if a plastic surgeon is truly qualified

- How to know if a particular procedure is the right one and if the surgeon being interviewed should perform it

- What questions to ask a prospective plastic surgeon to gauge honesty and meticulousness

- Where the best place to have surgery is, according to research

- Where to find independent plastic surgery reviews

- What yields the most satisfied clients

- How to tell if one is ready for plastic surgery or not

- What kind of results can be expected from the best plastic surgeons

- Which questions to ask about follow-up care

He also links to websites that help people conduct their own free research into a particular surgeon's background and medical expertise.

More details can be found at http://www.davidhalpernmd.com/choose-plastic-surgeon-patient-safety-resources/

"There are over 14 million successful plastic surgery procedures done in the United States each year, but the handful of horror stories tend to be the ones that capture the media's fascination. Tragically, these patients always express doubts they had about the surgeon, the procedure, or the facility that they had going on, but ignored. Though the safety profile of cosmetic procedures in America is excellent, plastic surgery should never be rushed into or taken lightly. It is a potentially life-changing event that should be approached with confidence, caution, and care."

In his blog, Dr. David Halpern recommends meeting with at least three surgeons to compare apples to apples. When in-office consultations are not feasible, many prospects choose to meet via Skype or call and chat with the doctor by phone.

Dr. David Halpern is offering new patients $500 off breast augmentation in Tampa Bay, FL. The board-certified plastic surgeon offers quick facts on the surgery and explains how breast implants have become a popular Valentine’s Day trend.

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/05/2015 -- Breast implants may not be the first Valentine's Day "gift" people think of, but Dr. David Halpern of Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery Inc. says it's become quite popular in recent years. "January is always a particularly busy month for plastic surgeons, as people get started on their New Year's resolutions and prepare for Valentine's Day romance," he says. To help people achieve their goals, Dr. David Halpern is offering $500 off new patient breast augmentation booked by February 14th.

"Breast augmentation" refers to the enhancement of a woman's bust using breast implants or fat transferred from another part of the body. This type of surgery is often used to improve one's physical proportions, replace lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or enhance self-image and confidence.

Breast augmentation will not correct severely drooping breasts related to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. In these cases, a breast lift would be more appropriate. Dr. David Halpern is able to perform breast lifts in a separate operation or together along with enhancement if it will help a patient achieve her goals.

For those considering breast augmentation, Dr. David Halpern offers these quick facts:

- The procedure takes usually less than one hour.

- It is done under general anesthesia, but no hospital stay is required.

- Usually surgery is done on Thursday and most patients return to work by Monday resuming normal activities; light exercise at 2 weeks; strenuous activity at 6 weeks.

- The results are Immediate enhancement with minimal bruising.

There are many Tampa Bay plastic surgeons who perform breast augmentation surgeries, but not many as qualified as Dr. David Halpern, who is:

- Educated: He received his medical degree from New York University and trained at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in NYC and the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

- Certified: He is triple-board-certified in plastic surgery, general surgery, and micro-hand surgery. His certifications are from the American Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons and the American Board of Surgeons.

- Qualified: He currently works as the Chief of the Plastic Surgery Department at Tampa General Hospital and teaches clinical plastic surgery at the University of South Florida -- in addition to running his own practice, which he has had since 1999.

- Successful: Dr. David Halpern has received positive feedback regarding his procedures. Past patients praise his "calming" presence and "remarkable" care. Not only do his patients like him as a person, but they say he helped them achieve the look they wanted as well, which is ultimately what people truly want from a plastic surgeon.

Dr. David Halpern says: "If you book now, you can have new breasts by Valentine's Day. You will be back to work and no doubt excited about sharing the news with your partner." Individuals who are interested in saving $500 off breast augmentation in Tampa Bay are encouraged to contact Dr. David Halpern for a consultation to see if they are good candidates.

Dr. David Halpern of Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery Inc. is current with the hottest trends in plastic surgery. He discusses the hottest topics presented at the annual American Society of Plastic Surgeons meeting in Chicago.

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/06/2015 -- The mainstays of plastic surgery have always been procedures like breast augmentation, breast lifts, nose jobs, eyelid surgery, liposuction, and anti-aging facelifts. These operations will continue to remain trendy, but new techniques and assistive technology will make them less invasive and more popular in the years to come.

Dr. David Halpern is a triple board-certified plastic surgeon with Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery Inc. After attending the latest American Society of Plastic Surgeons annual meeting, he concluded that the top plastic surgery procedures for 2015 will likely include:

- The LiLa Strawberry Laser – noninvasive body sculpting that uses directed radiofrequencies in a 20-minute procedure to reduce the size of fat cells and take several inches off one's waist circumference with little to no downtime.

- Xiaflex – injected medication that reduces the thick hand contracture bands that cause finger curling in people with Dupuytrens disease.

- Micro-graft harvest facelifts – a facelift that transplants liposuction-removed fat from the abdomen or thighs to replace lost volume in the cheeks or other areas of the face that naturally occur with aging.

"It was neat to see a lot of the technology I've been using for years presented as hot trends," explains Dr. David Halpern. "There are many new devices coming out that medi-spas and plastic surgeons are eager to use them. However, it's still important for patients to exercise due diligence in deciding where to have the procedures done. The devices make the procedures easier to perform, and they are deemed 'minimally invasive' procedures to begin with, but people can still suffer injury in the hands of an inexperienced practitioner." In his own practice, Dr. David Halpern has seen great results with no adverse side effects for these emerging procedures.

Dr. David Halpern is triple board certified in plastic surgery, general surgery, and micro hand surgery. He has more than 15 years of experience operating on patients and is a member in good standing of multiple professional associations in Florida. He has appeared on "The Rachael Ray Show" and "The Doctors" discussing the LiLa Strawberry Laser.

December is a busy month for Tampa Bay plastic surgeon Dr. David Halpern. Even so, he is offering deep discounts on Strawberry Laser and Dysport injections this holiday season.

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/10/2014 -- Twice as many people use the upcoming holidays as an excuse to book minimally-invasive cosmetic surgery procedures in the month of December, according to Tampa Bay plastic surgeon Dr. David Halpern. Despite the flurry of activity, he gets into the giving spirit by offering deep discounts on two of his most popular procedures: the Strawberry Laser and Dysport injections.

Strawberry Laser Treatment shrinks fat cells in the abdomen and thighs without downtime, bruising, or scarring. Results may vary, but most people lose 1-3 inches per 20-minute session and get up to 10 sessions to complete their treatment. Dr. David Halpern has appeared on "The Doctors" and "The Rachael Ray Show" to talk about this exciting, buzzworthy procedure.

"Diet and exercise are important for maintaining a nice physique, but they aren't always enough to get you there," Dr. David Halpern explains. "That's why I recommend Strawberry Laser for people whose New Year's resolution is to get healthy. Seeing the inches melt off quickly can be transformative, enabling individuals to begin anew."

This month, Dr. David Halpern is offering eight Strawberry Laser sessions for $2,000 -- a total savings of $1,500.

Dysport is a prescription injection for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. This filler is often used to treat crow's feet and forehead creases as well. The effects are quickly seen in 2-5 days, with results lasting up to four months.

"People like Dysport because the results are seen quicker and the price is about half that of Botox," says Dr. David Halpern. "Dysport is a very natural-looking filler that doesn't alter one's expression, but rather, leaves people looking more pleasant and refreshed."

This month, Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery Inc. is offering Dysport Treatment for $375 – a $25 savings.

Dr. David Halpern is a triple board-certified plastic surgeon offering mommy makeover surgeries in Tampa, FL in the safety and comfort of an accredited surgical facility. He reflects on the growing trend of gifting and booking mommy makeovers over the Christmas holidays.

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2014 -- Five years ago, the UK Guardian reported that the number of cosmetic procedures typically increase in December – by as much as 50% over the average month. Here in the US, Tampa Bay Plastic Surgeon Dr. David Halpern sees a comparable rise in women coming in for everything from Botox and laser liposuction to breast augmentation and tummy tucks.

"Christmas is a busy time for the office," Dr. David Halpern explains. "I think it has to do with several factors -- one being that people tend to take their long breaks over the holiday. It's the perfect time to take it easy and pamper yourself."

He explains that this season is slower for wedding consultants, bankers, education, and other sectors, so he sees increased traffic from these groups. Also, people are in the mode of spending money on gifts and snapping up deals, so when they see mommy makeover specials, they are more apt to take advantage.

Early December is a great time to book breast lifts, breast augmentation, laser body contouring, and tummy tucks, as it only takes a few weeks to bounce back. Tampa residents are urged to book now, as December spots for mommy makeover procedures do fill up by Thanksgiving.

January also brings a flood of activity to Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery Inc. It's not uncommon for the area's busiest and most successful women to put cosmetic surgery at the top of their wish lists. It's also a time when many women make New Year's resolutions to get into shape.

"It's a widespread fallacy that diet and exercise alone can reverse the changes brought on by childbirth," explains Dr. David Halpern. "For most women, a healthy lifestyle can only take them so far. Sagging, overstretched skin from rapid weight loss can only be corrected surgically. Stubborn fat around the midsection can be hard to beat due to hormonal changes. "Breastfeeding moms may find they have lost volume resulting in droopiness, which breast augmentation can address. Sometimes a lift is also necessary, depending on how much volume was lost and how much extra skin is present."

Dr. David Halpern recently published a blog post with information on mommy makeovers and what moms need to know. Read the full post here:

Dr. David Halpern, voted Tampa’s #1 plastic surgeon by South Tampa News, attended the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ 88th annual meeting in Chicago from October 9-13. Continuing education is part of what separates run-of-the-mill cosmetic practitioners from true professionals.

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/20/2014 -- The plastic surgery field is ever-changing, with new technology, procedures, and techniques driving industry growth each year. This past weekend, October 9-13th, more than 2,300 industry professionals attended the American Society of Plastic Surgeons' 88th annual meeting in Chicago, Illinois.

Among these professionals was Tampa Bay's Dr. David Halpern, a triple-board certified plastic surgeon specializing in LiLa Strawberry Laser, breast augmentation, facelift surgery, hand surgery, among other cosmetic procedures. He particularly enjoyed the "Hot Topics" meeting, which covered the latest advances the science of cosmetic surgery has to offer.

Dr. David Halpern shares his notes on a few of the breakthroughs presented:

- Facelift Techniques: "I've been using 'newer' techniques like micro-graft harvest, micro-cannula delivery, and washing for superior graft take with facelifts for 15 years. It's a nice affirmation to hear these methods presented as hot topics."

- Indocyanine Green fluorescent imaging: "I hope to bring SPY imaging to Tampa General Hospital to assist with intraoperative assessment of flap blood supply in the near future. I've already coordinated letters to the TGH administration to request the acquisition of the new system."

- Exparel local anesthetic as a way to relieve post-operative pain: "There are fewer symptoms of nausea, vomiting, constipation, or addiction. We've seen great results in reducing postoperative pain with Exparel in my practice and at Tampa General Hospital for a while now."

- Xiaflex to break up contracture bands on hands of Dupuytrens patients: "I have been working with this injectable for three years, and I have had 100% success for improvement of motion without surgery in my Dupuytrens patients. It was nice to see these findings corroborated at the Meeting."

- Hybrid fractional, fractional RF, and non-invasive skin tightening lasers: "In my opinion, this is very expensive machinery for something that becomes outdated in two years. It's sort of like trying to keep up with the latest smartphone."

- Neograft and Artas hair restoration robots: "This is a HUGE advance in care with amazing results. Not only is it a much quicker procedure, but there is no worry about scars from the harvest of grafts."

- CoolSculpt, Zeltiq, Vanquish & Strawberry Laser non-invasive body sculpting: "I still like the simplicity and cost advantages of Strawberry Laser, which I use extensively in my practice."

- Microneedling to improve the appearance of skin wrinkles and acne scars: "Many devices were presented and there is still much to learn. We're starting to see some good research into the size of needle, and the depth of punctures needed. Although the 'Vampire Facelift' looks promising, we still needs better science before its widespread use, in my opinion."

- Cell therapy for perioral aging: "This can be a tough area to treat, so any new advances are generally welcomed by plastic surgeons."

- Shuttle needle suture technique: "The use of shuttle needles is a vast improvement over barbed suture and HA strand methods. This old concept has been revisited with a new needle. Basically, this needle can thread modern sutures through tunnels, instead of costly anchoring devices. Shuttle needles aid cosmetic surgeons in facelifts, minimally invasive facial surgery, and brow lifts, to name a few procedures."

All in all, Dr. David Halpern says he "really enjoyed this year's meeting in the Windy City," says Dr. David Halpern. He adds, "It's easy to fall into a comfortable pattern of procedures and patient types when you're at it for so many years. I truly enjoy these annual ASPS meetings and the chance to learn new technologies and procedures that could benefit my patients."

Regularly attending industry meetings is one of the things that separates the true professionals from the crowd. "Cosmetic surgery is a competitive field and it can be difficult for patients to choose who they want to do their procedures. Naturally, they want someone with the most current knowledge on wound healing, scar prevention, risk minimization, and all the latest techniques to provide the most satisfying outcomes. That's exactly what we pick up from these annual events."

Dr. David Halpern, voted Tampa’s #1 plastic surgeon by South Tampa News, is offering $1,500 off Strawberry Laser for patients who are interested in body contouring procedures for stubborn “trouble spots.”

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/09/2014 -- Dr. David Halpern has recently appeared on "The Doctors" and "The Rachael Ray Show" touting a popular new, FDA-approved laser technique called Strawberry Laser by LiLa. The simple, non-invasive treatment uses laser energy to shrink fat cell size to help patients reshape their bodies and slim down their appearance without surgery. Now, as a special fall promotion, the triple-board-certified Tampa Bay plastic surgeon is offering eight treatments for $2,000 – a savings of $1,500.

"This time of year, we see a lot of people who want to look their best for a busy social calendar during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays," explains Dr. David Halpern. "We also have a lot of moms who have more time to themselves now that the kids are back in school. Strawberry Laser attacks fat cells where we put it to improve the local area treated, whether it's a so-called 'mummy tummy' or that little extra jiggle in the thighs."

Most people are good candidates for Strawberry Laser; even individuals who are not considered "overweight" can improve their physical appearance with body contouring. A double blind clinical study found that the average patient lost 3.68 inches, with the greatest loss at 5.6 inches. Dr. David Halpern says the best results are found with eight initial treatments over the course of one month, but body contouring may be repeated for as long as patients see continued improvement.

People like the Strawberry Laser procedure because there is no downtime, bruising, scarring, or damage to surrounding tissues. This particular machine can target a wider area than other types of laser treatments, which is why many people use it to get rid of muffin tops or flabby thighs.

"We have been getting a lot of positive feedback about this treatment," Dr. David Halpern explains. "For the best results, one will want to eat a generally healthy diet and continue to be physically active to maintain the results of a Strawberry Laser treatment."

To learn more about the Strawberry Laser and the special fall offer by Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery, Inc. individuals may visit Dr. David Halpern's blog or contact him directly for a confidential consultation to see if this promotion will help achieve their body sculpting objectives.
