A little over a week has passed since my Vaser Lipo experience and I promised I would “tell all.” So here is is. When the procedure was over I hopped off the table and exclaimed, “That was nothing.” My girlfriend and I even laughed and said, “Wow, I think I could even drive home.” (Insert threatening stare from Dr. Pathy.) I’m sure this exuberance was related to the Valium and all the numbing solution that was still on board. I was driven home and I went off to bed, however I forgot to take my pain pill as instructed. I woke up at about 10:00 writhing and clumsily looked for […]

Project Reunion Entry 3 So Project Reunion is moving right along. I stopped by to visit Nikki at , so that she could take a look at my progress. She was happy with my progress but felt that we could move more aggressively with the melasma since the reunion is fast approaching. She decided that microdermabrasion and glycolic peel treatments would move things along. The treatment was lovely. First of all, I recommend arriving for your treatment early as Yolo’s waiting room is perfectly relaxing. The décor is comfortable and Zen-like. I waited for Nikki and sat in peace and quiet for a few precious minutes. The dermabrasion treatment was […]

Clinical results confirm the safety, viability and effectiveness of VASER Lipo for fat transfer treatments LOUISVILLE, Colo., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ — According to a recent study published in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, VASER Lipo has been clinically proven to be a safe and effective treatment option for fat transfer procedures.

Project Reunion Entry 2In case you didn’t read my first blog entry, I’ll quickly recap: I’m going to my 24-year high school reunion on August 19 and I’ve started my personal “Project Reunion” to get in shape and look more youthful. My first stop was to see visit Nikki at Yolo. She recommended a laser treatment to get rid of dark spots on my face. The results…fantastic. I’ve no dark spots left on my face, only a few light freckles. Nikki even lightened a scar by my eye that I’ve had since I was seven years old. I must warn all you that there’s downtime for this treatment. I looked […]

THE SKINNY ON WIDE-AWAKE LIPO I always laughed that while some families have family jewels, my family has “family thighs.” Thin or fat, my mother and I are the lucky recipients of annoying areas of fat located on the inside of our upper thighs. Even when I’m at my skinniest and working out with a personal trainer, my thighs are still out of proportion with the rest of me. It’s especially annoying because I have difficulty finding clothes that fit properly. Clothes either fit my size 6 thighs or my size 4 waist. As the owner of Yolo, I get to try the best new technologies on the market. So, […]
