The Skinny on Fat Removal … and a Warning

Posted in Main at 4:31 pm by Doctor

Our current procedure specials are set to expire on Tuesday, March 31st — this week.  

But — for reasons I’ll explain below I’m extending these specials to end on Friday, April 3rd — again, this week.

Reason #1

Seems silly to end specials in the middle of a week.

Reason #2 (and this is the BIG ONE)

Sometime in April … days away, a national infomercial will air on all major networks plus cable talking about the amazing benefits of laser assisted liposuction, also known as laser lipolysis, SmartLipo and other names.  The effect is the same (no matter what it’s called) with no more fat, and skin that’s stimulated to tighten by the laser that liquefies the fat.

Here’s the deal …

Anyone who calls in to the number given in the infomercial — or checks out their website — from this region — will get to us, the Center for Aesthetics.  

And that will make me extremely busy.

I will have absolutely no reason to offer specials on SmartLipo because I’ll be up to my eyeballs in it.

But there’s still time …

If you are even thinking about having your unwanted fat removed … permanently — then the current special is to invest in a large area — and get a smaller area at NO Cost — in other words “on me”.

I wouldn’t wait on this one.  Call right now: 215-361-5030 and be svelte by summer. :)

Posted in Main at 4:36 pm by Doctor

Spring’s around the corner and summer’s on its way.  You’ve been thinking about “doing something” about … your bikini (or other unwanted) hair, your unwanted fat, your spots, lines, wrinkles, moles, or … (insert your own name for what’s bugging you).

Graduations, weddings, vacations, and pool parties are looming … but you’ve put something off and you’re just not ready for the season.

I’ve done my part … now, it’s up to you.

Call 215-361-5030 and be ready for summer — like you really want to be. :)

See you soon,

What are YOU spending your tax refund on?

Posted in Main at 10:14 am by Director

I’m very impatiently waiting for my tax return.  Everyday I check the balance in my account to see if the money has increased instead of the normal decrease.  I’ve thought this over – so many times, and have made notes on how I’m going to spend this money.  The first and most important category would be to pay down some credit card debt.  That’s always a good feeling – after all I need to make room for more things I can buy!  (Just kidding….not really) But seriously, I do have a plan. 

Credit card debt, home improvements, a rainy day emergency fund and of course something fun to reward myself are the ways I have decided to use this money.  I’ve been admiring a pair of Versace sunglasses at the mall for quite some time now.  Or maybe the 47″ flat screen (that my son wants me to buy) might steal my attention…I’m not sure – but either way I’m treating myself to something good! 

Good economy or bad economy – we still need to be good to ourselves.  Sometimes its the smallest things that bring us joy, and once and a while it might take something a little bigger.  Whatever you decide – know that you are worth it! 

Namaste,

Lavonne :)

A Day Spent In Stillness…

Posted in Main at 3:59 pm by Director

Yes – It’s a snowy day once again, and a great time to enjoy stillness.  I’m nestled in at home finding the pleasure in reading, writing and working on goal setting for the future.  Unloading our minds, and allowing things to come in to focus generates renewal both in the physical body as well as the spiritual body. 

 While cortisol and adrenalin (hormones released as a result of stress) are surging through our bodies, we are compromising our immune systems, breaking down healthy muscle and bone structure, slowing down our healing, as well as impairing digestion, metabolism and mental function.  We soon reach adrenal burnout, and feel the effects of being chronically fatigued and mentally and emotionally drained.

Finding stillness allows our bodies to renew and rejuvenate, bringing a better overall feeling to our psyche.  We ARE what we feel.  If we feel great we ARE great.  If we feel defeated we ARE defeated.  We place so much importance in other things besides our well-being.  If only we took care of ourselves FIRST – we would have the energy we need to then take care of all the other people and things that require our attention. 

Just like the airlines teach you when you fly – give yourself oxygen FIRST, then help your child or partner.  This is what we must also practice in order to be successful in everyday life.  We cannot give what we do not have. 

If you didn’t get time today – think about planning a day just for you.  Take a mental health day and fill it with stillness.  Whatever that means for you… :)

Namaste,

Lavonne :)

"Baggy Eyes?" Finally — an Answer.

Posted in Main at 6:34 am by Doctor

One of the most frequent calls we get are concerns about looking old because of baggy eyes. Sometimes these are also the cause of the look of dark circles under the eyes as well.

Three guesses who had ‘em (and the first two don’t count) … me.  I hate looking old when I’m not.  I will move mountains to get rid of something that makes me look old — like baggy eyelids.  Unfortunately, up ’till now, the answers were either major surgery or “iffy” in the results department.  

Notice I said … until now.

You’ve read what I’ve had to say about SmartLipo (stay with me now — I’m not switching lanes) and how it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread for fat pouches and rolls that refuse to go away with diet or exercise.  Well some geniuses figured out how to use this technology easily and quickly to repair loose, baggy skin under the eyes!

Last Friday (February 27th) I journeyed to one of the top geniuses to be trained and Certified in this procedure — but with one condition — that he fix my eyes too!

Okay — you know I’m a little tough when it comes to new procedures I might do for you.

My first rule (except for bikini-line laser hair removal) is to have it done on me first — or to do it on me first.  (Recall I did my own SmartLipo with the help of my staff.)  I want to be able to tell you what to expect, how it feels, how long is the recovery time, and the bottom line — the results.  As I write this, I’m 3 days post-op and doing just fine.  I’m told the early results will be visible within two weeks — and the ultimate results at two to three months.

How long did the procedure take?  30 minutes.  And the doctor used SmartLipo without the fat removal suction part (the body takes care of that).

And before he did my eyes I was fully trained and Certified in this awesome technique.

We’re ramping up our SmartLipo suite to get rid of Delaware Valley’s baggy eyes!

Look younger, sexier, less tired or worn out — and be able to smile at yourself again in the mirror.

This one’s a no-brainer. :)

“See you” soon.

Testimonials


  • "My daughter sees Kristie for microdermabrasion treatments for stubborn blackheads. We had tried many prescription items and Proactiv®. We saw little results. We scheduled a consultation to see what other treatments might help the process of clearing up those stubborn blackheads. Kristie recommended microdermabrasion and after the first 2 treatments a great improvement was noticed and improvement continues with each treatment. Kristie's friendly personality put my daughter right at ease."

  • "I had Botox at another doctor's office and it did not take. I came here to Dr. Fairfield's office and was so pleased with the results. I am fifty two years old and not many people believe it. I feel much happier when I look into the mirror these days. I also drive over fifty miles to get here one way, but it is worth it!"

  • "I am very pleased with the results of Botox and Restylane! I had 3 deep grooves in between my eyes from squinting (a hereditary thing from my father) and it bothered me! My dad's and aunt's grooves are so big they can hold a dime in the slots. Before my lines got like that, I came to see Dr. Fairfield. He did Restylane and I am so happy with the results! Don't hesitate if it bothers you! The staff and Dr. Fairfield are wonderful and they are here for you! Thanks!"

  • "I've had three Fraxel treatments so far and already see tremendous improvement. The overall texture of my skin is smooth and clear of red spots. The deep crevices from nose down to chin is much less pronounced and best of all I can curl my eyelashes again. So, my brows were lifted too!

    Amy, Sherley and Kristie were competent and caring as usual.

    So with one more treatment to go I believe I can stave off having a thread lift for five or more years."
