1. How to improve your neckline with Barbie Botox?

We all know how this iconic Mattel doll has influenced the fashion world ever since it was introduced. But last year it also found a way to influence the aesthetic treatment world with a shiny new word TrapTox.

If your aesthetic goal is to elongate your neck and make it slim and graceful without having plastic surgery or other invasive treatments then Barbie Botox can be your solution. Plus, it also has another benefit up its sleeve.

What exactly is Barbie Botox?

Barbie Botox or nowadays called TrapTox has been here for years. But now it has taken the world by storm because of its aesthetic benefits. Just to quickly cover the anatomy, Traptox or Botox is injected into the trapezius muscle, or the area that extends over the back of your neck and shoulders. You already know how Botox works – it temporarily relaxes your muscles so they don’t flex. This happens with TrapTox also – over time your muscles become slimmer.

That’s when the magic happens – your shoulders get lowered and your neck shrinks. This gives you that slim feminine look just like Barbie’s. Your muscles get less bulky and because of that your neck looks elongated and slimmer. You instantly appear more delicate and graceful.

Is TrapTox uncomfortable treatment?

Even though TrapTox is an injectable treatment, it’s not painful. If you have already had Botox, you know that it’s not a big deal.

The good news is that the skin on the trapezius muscle is less sensitive than the skin on the face.

So, you practically feel minimal to no discomfort. And there is no bruising. But if you are prone to it just avoid Aspirin before your session and you are good to go.

What’s the other huge benefit of TrapTox?

Let’s reveal the ace that TrapTox has up its sleeve – it eases the tension and pain that you may feel in your neck and shoulders. You see, we tend to keep a lot of tension in the trapezius muscle which can result in feeling discomfort in this area. However, after injecting TrapTox, this area relaxes and relieves the pain. As a result, your posture improves as your shoulders lower and you look more attractive.

How to know for sure that you will achieve a Barbie look with Traptox?

As already mentioned, getting Botox injections is no big deal, but it’s definitely a big deal who injects it into your face. You won’t choose an inexperienced doctor to smooth out your facial wrinkles with this treatment, right? The same goes for TrapTox.

To achieve that Barbie look of an elongated and nicely contoured neck, choose a skilled and experienced doctor who knows his way around human anatomy.

Because that’s crucial. Your doctor needs to know exactly where to inject TrapTox into your trapezius muscles. You don’t want any adverse reactions like TrapTox migrating to an unwanted area.

That’s why it’s best to choose a qualified and board-certified doctor like the ones at Lucia Clinic. Lucia Clinic’s doctors will create a bespoke TrapTox treatment just for you. This means that your individual anatomy, the desired outcome and the right amount of Botox will be taken into account. Only then you can be sure that you will achieve that beautiful swan-like neck. Plus, there will be no adverse reaction and you will be able to continue with your activities right away. Since only a small part of the muscle is being treated there will be no limitations in terms of exercising.

So if you want to find out why minimally invasive TrapTox or Barbie Botox is creating all the buzz, include it into your regular aesthetic routine. With TrapTox you will definitely take it to the next level.

2. How to achieve new beauty with the slow beauty concept of Ultherapy?

Do you feel overwhelmed by promises of instant skin improvements that you simply don’t know which aesthetic treatment to choose? We are used to expecting instant gratification and we forget that real and natural-looking beauty takes a bit of time to emerge. Non-invasive Ultherapy treatment is based on gradual results that don’t harm your skin in any way and keep it radiant and youthful for a long time. That’s the right way you should take care of your skin.

How does Ultherapy focus on quality rather than quantity?

Ultherapy is so effective, that you will probably need only one treatment session. This gentle, non-invasive treatment will do so much for your skin that you will enjoy the results for up to 2 years. And then you can do a touch-up treatment to maintain the results.

TIP: Prolong your Ultherapy results with a good skincare routine and sun protection.

When you think about it, it’s a great investment for a long-term strategy of keeping your skin youthful and firm.

And that’s what Ultherapy does – it lifts and tightens your skin with non-invasive ultrasound energy targeted precisely where it’s needed. And that place is where your collagen is.

You probably know that after the year 20, your skin slowly loses collagen and elastin. That’s just how nature works, your skin matures and becomes less elastic and firm. This is especially noticed around your jaw and neck – they become loose and saggy.

So if nature is doing its course, it’s best to help your skin in the most natural way, don’t you think?

How does Ultherapy keep your skin natural-looking and youthful?

It’s all about going underneath the surface of your skin. Ultherapy emits energy deep into your skin cells in the areas where your skin starts to sag. It makes your skin cells wake up and tighten. The collagen and elastin start to build up through your body’s natural processes. So, there is nothing artificial and nothing that would harm your skin – it is healing on its own.

With Ultherapy you are not doing anything against nature – you are helping your skin to revive and rejuvenate. As the collagen builds up, your skin becomes tight and elastic again, just as you desired.

The idea behind Ultherapy is to accept that slow beauty makes you satisfied with the improvements of your skin that slowly emerge.

This treatment helps you understand that natural-looking results are the most precious ones.

When do you see the results of Ultherapy?

This is where the concept of slow beauty kicks in. The best results of Ultherapy are seen in 6 months. Your new and natural-looking beauty gradually emerges. Your jawline and neck are firmer, youthful and nicely contoured. All thanks to Ultherapy which gives your unique beauty a personalized approach. You don’t have to worry about looking fake or overly done – with Ultherapy you will look like yourself only more refreshed and plumper.

TIP: Get an Ultherapy treatment as a preventative measure.

The moment you see aging signs on your face you can have Ultherapy and reduce them. But this treatment is also great if you already developed mild to moderate skin laxity – Ultherapy will boost your collagen and bring you long-lasting results.

With Ultherapy, you will definitely move away from invasive treatments and still be more than satisfied with the outcomes. As you slowly see the improvements in your skin after just one session of Ultherapy, you will realize that you are taking good care of your skin and that focusing on quality rather than quantity really pays off in the long run.

3. How to feel empowered about unique beauty with EMFACE?

When you look in the mirror, do you feel like your face is showing a different picture? Do you look older than you really feel because of wrinkles and fine lines and loss of facial structure and volume? If yes, then you have probably started to think about what you can do to rejuvenate your skin. Perhaps, Botox and Dermal fillers or even plastic surgery pop instantly into your mind, but deep down you feel that you want to take a different direction and approach. Well, one of those directions can certainly be EMFACE – a shiny, new and brilliant non-invasive anti-aging treatment.

How does EMFACE celebrate authentic beauty?

EMFACE has taken the beauty world by storm because it promises and delivers natural-looking and long-term results in terms of skin rejuvenation. People love it because this treatment enhances their facial features and does not erase their authenticity. EMFACE brings you that new beauty that is real and perfect with all its imperfections. With EMFACE you no longer conform to some standardized motions of beauty but rather enhance what makes you a unique person. And that’s empowering.

Why is EMFACE revolutionary?

EMFACE has transformed the world of aesthetic treatments to its core. There are no needles, no discomfort, only magic that happens underneath your skin. It’s the first treatment in the world that reduces your wrinkles by boosting your collagen level. Again, you are naturally helping your skin to wake up the dormant collagen and start building up. Nothing fake and nothing artificial – you are rejuvenating your skin in a completely non-invasive and comfortable way.

Next to smoothing out your wrinkles, EMFACE is like a tiny gym for your facial muscles. It contracts your facial muscles so that they become stronger and more defined. What’s the end result? Your face is better structured and youthful because the muscles are doing their job.

TIP: With EMFACE you don’t accept cookie-cutter beauty standards that have dominated the beauty world for a long time.

With EMFACE you accept your unique beauty and you just enhance it.

This anti-aging treatment was proven to increase the level of collagen and elastin and your facial muscle tone and to reduce wrinkles after just 4 sessions. Some even say that it is more effective than Botox.

TIP: If you are not a fan of needles, then non-invasive EMFACE is your solution.

EXTRA TIP: Find a skilled and experienced dermatologist for your EMFACE treatment.

EMFACE is a relatively new treatment, and you need to be sure that your dermatologist knows his way around this treatment. Lucia Clinic is one of the first clinics that introduced this treatment to its clients and they loved it. So, let Lucia Clinic’s dermatologists and skin therapists be your guide on your journey toward skin rejuvenation with EMFACE.

After EMFACE you will celebrate your one-of-the-kind allure. Without any downtime, side effects or discomfort. EMFACE will turn back the clock and make your face youthful again without changing your unique facial characteristics. And that’s precious.

4. Take care of your skin in the most natural way with PRP

If you have ever wondered about completely natural aesthetic treatments, you have probably stumbled upon PRP otherwise called Vampire facial. Don’t get intimidated by its name because PRP promises to rejuvenate your skin and reduce aging signs with your body’s natural healing processes by using your own blood.

Why is PRP your natural fountain of youth?

Well, what could be more natural and sustainable than your own blood? As strange as it sounds, your blood has healing properties that can make your skin youthful, eliminate scars and other blemishes, make your complexion more even and radiant, and even stimulate hair growth. All with the powerful platelets that are extracted from just a tiny amount of your blood. PRP is a unique treatment just as your skin is unique. There is no other treatment that offers you the ultimate personalized approach to your skin concerns.

How does your skin heal with PRP?

When platelet-rich plasma is injected into your troubled spots, it immediately triggers your skin healing processes. Your skin naturally wants to close those tiny wounds on your injection sites.

PRP helps your skin to regenerate in a completely natural way, without any artificial or harmful ingredients.

Your skin is doing the entire job itself. Plus, it’s also waking up collagen and elastin which start to regenerate and build up. This is when your wrinkles and fine lines slowly fill in. And your skin becomes tighter and more resilient to future aging.

Now this is what’s great about PRP – it gives you long-lasting results. Your skin gradually becomes more radiant, more youthful, and more voluminous. Granted, you will need to wait a bit to see the final results but don’t forget that slow beauty brings you new and real beauty. With PRP you don’t do any harm to your skin – you are naturally rejuvenating it.

So, if you are dreaming of a treatment that is minimally invasive but completely natural and completely personalized, then PRP will make your dream come true. It’s not just a treatment, it’s proof that your skin can naturally bounce back and look gorgeous.

5. How to take care of your skin in a smart and effective way with LED light therapy?

How often have you desired a clear and even complexion without invasive and harsh products or treatments? You are sick and tired of acne, sun damage, rashes, wrinkles, and other skin blemishes and want a completely natural treatment that won’t harm your skin but bring you superior results. If this is true for you, then LED light therapy is your solution.

Why is LED light therapy a game-changer in the world of aesthetic treatment?

Because it’s a revolutionary approach to health and wellness. Just imagine how light is powerful and how much it can do for your skin. It simply makes your skin beautiful from the inside out.

Your fading and dull complexion can become radiant after just a couple of LED light therapy sessions.

The secret of this treatment is its versatility. Different lights bring you different benefits. For example, you can reduce acne and reveal a radiant complexion with blue light. Or with red light, you can boost collagen production and reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

LED light therapy soothes your skin and regenerates its cells without even touching it. That’s why it’s a smart approach to a good skincare routine. There is no direct contact with your skin, there are no side effects, and no downtime. It’s a completely natural way of helping your skin to heal and reveal its real beauty. LED light therapy is like a high-tech spa for your face that returns its radiance and smoothness.

LED light therapy focuses on the concept of clean beauty

The best things come to those who wait – this is how we can describe LED light therapy. This treatment helps you step back from your hectic anticipation of instant but not long-lasting results. You make a conscious decision of how to treat your skin, without harming it in any way.

After 4 sessions of LED light therapy, you will start noticing how much your skin has improved. This transformation will long be visible and with regular maintenance, you can keep the results for a long time.

6. More individualized approach through bespoke treatment plans

Have you ever wondered how your friend has such great skin after a certain aesthetic treatment? If yes, then you probably wanted to try the same treatment right away and get the same results. But that’s not the way you want to take because you and your friend have different skin and different skin concerns. That’s the first thing you will find out when you come to a renowned aesthetic and dermatology clinic. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment. And that’s a good thing.

What do you get through an individualized approach?

Well, a lot. When you meet with a dermatologist for the first time, you will instantly feel if you are going to let him/her become your beauty guru or not. There is no deception here –

If the dermatologist is treating your skin as his own, then you know you are in good hands.

According to your skin type, skin concerns, and aesthetic goals, a dedicated dermatologist will craft a specific protocol that will address only your skin issues.

At Lucia Clinic, each and every client gets a personalized treatment plan that brings amazing and effective results. Lucia Clinic’s patients always return to this clinic because they know that their skin is properly looked after. And that’s what makes Lucia Clinic so great – people just know that Lucia Clinic’s dermatologists and doctors will find the best treatment for them.

How to become a skintellectual?

By finding a good dermatologist. A skilled dermatologist will recommend a gentle and non-invasive treatment if you just need preventative measures. If you are in your 20s or 30s and you have started to develop wrinkles and saggy skin because of loss of collagen, your dermatologists will be proactive and teach you how to change your skincare routine.

Or he/she could recommend a gentle yet very effective and non-invasive treatment called HydraFacial for example. This treatment is great for unclogging pores, gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells, and moisturizing the skin. It preserves your skin by keeping it healthy and resilient to future aging. The results are amazing – completely natural and long-lasting. Plus, you can have this treatment anytime you need to because it doesn’t damage your skin in any way.

As already mentioned, the era of uniform beauty standards is dying out and people are shifting to authentic and natural-looking results. A good dermatologist understands this and if, for example, you want to get Botox or fillers, they will inject them only to harmonize your facial features, restore the lost volume, and enhance your facial contours.

TIP: Street clear of dermatologists who don’t believe in less is more.

You want to keep your unique beauty and maintain your facial character and not just fill your face until unrecognition.

Also, a good dermatologist would recommend you a combo of two or three different aesthetic treatments, if they believe it will bring you the desired results. That’s not strange because it also shows that they are taking a genuine interest in the health and beauty of your skin. This is a fully comprehensive and personalized approach to your skin that improves the quality of your skin over time and brings you long-lasting and authentic results. A combo of treatments is a new way of reaching that new beauty that slowly emerges and lasts for a long time.

TIP: Combine the right treatments to get even better results and much shorter downtime.

That’s the key. Plus you save money and time because you don’t have to come to the clinic so often. We can’t neglect that, right?

If you are looking for that wow results for your skin, a great combo is micro-needling with PRP.

PRP will speed up the healing of your skin in terms of cell turnover and improvement.

Or a combination of Ultherapy and dermal fillers will give you a double boost of volume. Ultherapy will trigger your collagen production and your skin will gradually become more voluminous. By adding dermal fillers, you can boost the volume a bit more, but since there will already be a lifting part after Ultherapy, you don’t need a lot of fillers. It’s all in a good proportion.

You can also combine dermal fillers or Botox after energy-based treatments like laser therapies or RF energy treatments. You will just need a little of these injectables to boost the results.

The right combo of treatments is really transformative. It can improve your skin more comprehensively and address different skin issues. So, if you need collagen boosting, but at the same time skin texture improvement, this aesthetic approach will do the trick.

7. Redefining aesthetic treatments with a holistic approach

You have probably heard about a holistic approach to skincare. Maybe you understand it, maybe not, but let’s just say that it’s one of the best approaches to well-being. If your well-being is in harmony then your skin also radiates. It is all connected.

How to nurture body and soul with mindful beauty?

With mindful beauty, you are completely breaking free from the traditional approach to skincare. A holistic approach blends your mental and emotional well-being with physical aesthetics. This blend represents harmony between your inner balance and outer radiance. And that’s the true and new beauty that you are looking for.

The holistic approach goes beyond aesthetic treatments. That’s the most comprehensive and sustainable way to approach beauty. You just need to learn and implement different practices that will enhance your entire health and thus your skin also.

The best way to do it is to find a dermatologist or skin therapist who is pro-holistic approach.

Apart from advising you how to take care of your skin with non-invasive treatment, this dermatologist can also teach you how to take care of your entire well-being.

Lucia Clinic’s dermatologist and skin therapists are all for this approach and some of the tips you can learn from them include:

TIP #1 – Improve your overall health.

The holistic approach teaches you that it’s important to nurture your body from within. This means proper nutrition and good hydration. Once you change your lifestyle and adopt this tip, you will soon notice that your skin, hair, and nails have significantly improved. Your inner health will radiate on the outside.

TIP #2 – Reduce stress

This tip is super important and vital in today’s busy lifestyle. Learn how to slow down and relax, and find some activities that fulfill you. It can be a hobby, meditation or a simple walk by the river. Very soon you will feel and look youthful again and those stress wrinkles on your forehead will reduce. By reducing stress, you prevent premature aging of your skin – you definitely want to avoid that!

TIP #3 – Get a good night’s sleep

Try to sleep at least 8 hours every night, and also go to bed before midnight. This is the best time for beauty sleep. Also, avoid looking at the computer of mobile before falling asleep because the light from the screen contributes to skin aging. Treat yourself to a silk pillowcase. Apart from sleeping like on a cloud, silk prevents your skin from wrinkling – there will be no surprising new lines on your face in the morning. So simple, yet very effective.

TIP #4 Exercise, exercise, exercise

Never skip your yoga or Pilates classes or go to the gym. This way you will keep your body strong and healthy. Also, exercising is a great stress relief, plus it releases endorphins or happy hormones – after exercising you will have a huge smile on your face which is so important for your overall well-being.

TIP #5 Nurture a positive self-image

With a holistic approach to well-being, you will learn to accept your imperfections and your unique features. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and taking good care of your entire well-being will help you realize this.

TIP #6 Treat yourself to IV drip therapy once and a while

IV drip therapy is the epitome of a holistic approach to well-being. It is an aesthetic treatment that you get in-office, but it’s really quick, and effective, without side effects or downtime. You can get a customized formula that will replenish you, boost your immune system or help you relax after a strenuous exercise. Getting IV drip therapy on a regular basis can significantly improve your overall health which means beautiful and radiant skin, beautiful nails and strong and shiny hair on the outside.

Why self-care includes good skincare?

Because as we said, a holistic approach focuses on your skin also. Good skincare includes using a high SPF especially if you live in hot countries. This is crucial because you can soak in the sun and increase your Vitamin D level without causing sun damage to your skin. It’s better to prevent it in advance.

Also, a good skincare includes a regular visit to your dermatologist. With your personalized and unique aesthetic treatments, you will effectively treat your skin and make it resilient to aging. A bespoke treatment plan includes many factors including your genetics, lifestyle, skin type, and aesthetic goals. A dermatologist who values a holistic approach will take all this into account when recommending the best treatment for your skin concerns. It’s very important to understand that a holistic approach is not a quick fix to your skin issues. It addresses the causes of your skin issues, not just the symptoms. That’s why you gradually experience sustainable improvements in your skin and reveal that new, real, and timeless beauty.

Your search for an aesthetic clinic that is dedicated to helping you find the best aesthetic treatment ends at Lucia Clinic. Lucia Clinic offers a wide range of non-invasive treatments that reveal your true and unique beauty. With bespoke treatment plans, carefully crafted by Lucia Clinic’s dermatologists, doctors, and skin therapists, you will fulfill your aesthetic goals of enhancing your facial features in a completely natural and safe way.

Together with Lucia Clinic’s team, you will embrace the new era of beauty or in other words – real and natural beauty.

Rhinoplasty otherwise known as ‘nose job’ is a surgical treatment that promises nose transformation into a harmonious blend of form and function. At Lucia Clinic, you can opt for two different surgical techniques of this procedure – open and closed. But, what is the real difference between these two types of aesthetic refinements?

Plastic surgery where precision meets artistry

Before deciding to have rhinoplasty at Lucia Clinic, you need to understand what this surgery will bring you and what are the pros of both techniques. Closed rhinoplasty includes making 2 incisions within the inside of the nose. Through these incisions, your plastic surgeon makes all the necessary alterations. The surgeon modifies the nasal bone and cartilage but since it can be tricky to access the required parts of the nose because of limited visibility, the surgeon needs to be super skilled and experienced. Not to worry – Lucia Clinic’s plastic surgeon, Dr. Tony Yang Soo Park is a leading Board-certified surgeon from Seoul, South Korea, specializing in closed rhinoplasty.

A very close friend of Lucia Clinic, who is always very happy to be at Lucia Clinic and have consultations with Lucia’s patients is Dr. Raj Kanodia. This outstanding plastic surgeon, specializing in closed rhinoplasty, is called the King of the Nose because he enhances his patients’ facial features without changing the character of their noses. Over the years, he has performed closed rhinoplasty on many A-List Celebrities and influencers, including Kloe Kardashian, Kamila Coelho, Alissa Violet, Nick Champa and Olivia O’brien.

The same goes for Dr. Tony Park – he is at the forefront of the Korean beauty revolution and has operated on most of many of the K-Pop world celebrities.

This surgical technique is marked by subtlety and finesse and is a good choice for you if you are looking for discrete and refined nose transformation.

Open rhinoplasty includes the same two incisions, with an additional one across the columella. For those who don’t know much about anatomy, this is a tissue that connects the tip of the nose with the nasal bone, according to our plastic surgeon Dr. Tony Park.
In terms of open rhinoplasty, this final incision helps the surgeon open the skin of the nose and actually reveal the nose. The real art and science of open rhinoplasty lies in customization. Lucia Clinic’s plastic surgeons carefully decide how the nasal bone and cartilage will be altered to achieve your specific goal.

And that goal is a perfect nose. With your unique facial features in mind, Lucia Clinic’s plastic surgeons carefully create a bespoke treatment plan that will keep the character of your nose and only make it more harmonious with the rest of your face. The nose is such a prominent facial feature and has a delicate structure so it needs to be treated with finesse and precision.

As devoted patients who had rhinoplasty with Dr. Kanodia and Dr. Park claim, this plastic surgery has brought them a myriad of benefits including elimination of nasal hump, fixing the crook, enhancement of nasal tip projection and even resolving functional issues like a deviated septum.

If you want that perfect natural-looking profile, check out if you are a good candidate for open or closed rhinoplasty – the trend of this plastic surgery is not going anywhere any time soon.

What about the external scars?

This is perhaps the first question that anyone considering rhinoplasty asks themselves. Well, let’s unveil the secrecy right away.

One of the key factors that distinguishes open and closed approaches to rhinoplasty is scarring. Since closed rhinoplasty involves only internal incisions, there are no scars left on the outside. That’s why closed rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Kanodia or Dr. Tony is also called scarless rhinoplasty. Even though you may think that it’s a new technique it actually isn’t – it has been done for many years now. But, it is a dying trend because most plastic surgeons perform open rhinoplasty. However, Dr. Raj Kanodia and Dr. Tony Park are determined to keep performing closed rhinoplasty.

Open rhinoplasty involves one external incision so it can potentially leave a small scar. This scar typically fades over with time, provided that the incision was closed carefully and with great precision. Then the scar should heal very well and people will hardly notice it.

Next to scarring, another thing that distinguishes open and closed rhinoplasty is the recovery period. Closed rhinoplasty leads to a shorter recovery with less swelling and bruising. Open rhinoplasty is more invasive so consequently it requires a longer recovery with more swelling and bruising. So, if you are looking for a nose job, that allows you to socialize 7 days post-operation then closed rhinoplasty is your solution.

How do results differ between open vs closed rhinoplasty?

We have already established that your ultimate goal is the perfect nose. The best approach and technique for your rhinoplasty procedure depends on your surgeon’s recommendations. Skilled and experienced surgeons like Dr. Kanodia and Dr. Tony can recommend closed rhinoplasty if they believe that your goals can be achieved with this technique. The same goes for open rhinoplasty. In both cases, the results will be real and natural-looking.

So, it all boils down to this – it’s more important to choose the best rhinoplasty surgeon first, and then think about which approach would be better in your case. Choosing an experienced and talented surgeon will have far more of an impact on your rhinoplasty results, compared to an open or closed approach.

During your rhinoplasty consultation, Lucia Clinic plastic surgeons will carefully examine your nasal structure, facial features, thickness of the skin, and nasal asymmetry and talk to you about your cosmetic goals. So, be ready to open up and share your medical history, previous nose surgeries, or injuries. Depending on your goals and needs, your surgeon will recommend closed rhinoplasty if you need minor corrections like removing the nasal hump or correction of a deviated septum. On the other hand, if you want more significant alterations, your surgeon will probably recommend open rhinoplasty.

In any case, Lucia Clinic’s rhinoplasty promises beautiful results – a perfectly shaped nose that is in perfect harmony with the rest of your face.

To find out whether you are a good candidate for Lucia Clinic rhinoplasty, schedule a consultation with Dr. Tony Yang Soo Park.

These advanced treatments will eliminate the last inches of fat deposits on your body, define your abs and other muscles (perfect for skimpy bikinis and swim trunks) and reduce pesky cellulite dimples that keep your legs from looking silky smooth.

Let’s dive into bits and pieces of these awesome treatments.

EMBRACE YOUR NEW CONTOURS WITH EMSCULPT NEO

You will definitely turn heads this summer after EmSculpt NEO – a super advanced body-contouring treatment that will make your body summer-ready in a flash. It is a non-invasive treatment that revolutionized the world of aesthetic procedures. It uses two powerful and completely different energies that simultaneously make your body areas slimmer and better-toned. And you don’t have to do anything. You just relax while EmSculpt NEO does it magic.

Why is EmSculpt NEO so effective?

Well, first of all, it is a product of long and effective research. Its technology is groundbreaking because there is no other treatment that can target stubborn fat pockets and define muscles at the same time. It is a great addition to your working out in the gym and it defines those groups of muscles that you simply can’t define alone.

EmSculpt NEO emits energy that makes your muscles (for example abs) contract like crazy. There are 20,000 contractions in just 30 minutes, which you must admit is impossible to have in the gym. Your muscles adapt to these extreme conditions and start to build up and define. After just 4 sessions, you have more defined and strong abs that everyone will be jealous of at the beach. Of course, the abdomen is just one treatment area that EmSculpt NEO can improve. You can also lift and tone your buttocks, define your upper arms or tone your legs – it’s your choice. On average, you can expect to get a 25% increase in your muscles – hello biceps and triceps!

But that’s not all. EmSculpt NEO emits another energy that targets isolated pockets of fat and melts them down. This energy heats the underlying tissue and makes subcutaneous fat cells break down. The feeling is similar to warming up before your workout. These destroyed fat cells are gradually eliminated from your system and you are left with leaner body contours.

So there you have it. EmScuplt NEO will be your best sidekick in preparing for the summer. You will get hard-core results with no downtime at all. 4 sessions of 30 minutes are all you need to get your body summer-ready.

CoolSculpting is super versatile and has different applicators that can target different body areas. You can finally get rid of love handles and belly flab and get a perfectly contoured midsection, which will cause waves of jealousy once you appear at the beach in your new bikini. It can also target your submental area with its mini applicator and eliminate your double chin. Finally, your arms or thighs will look slim and defined after just a couple of CoolSculpting sessions. No more pinchable inches of fat – just slimmer and firmer body contours, all without surgery, scars or nasty side effects.

What’s best about CoolSculpting is that it destroys fat cells forever! Yes, you read it right – forever! Once these fat cells are out of your body they can’t grow back. You’ll enjoy your newly contoured figure for a long time. Just keep up with your healthy lifestyle habits like regular workouts and proper diet. That way you will maintain your awesome new silhouette long after the summer is gone.

Let’s talk real business now and take fat-freezing body contouring to a whole new level with –

COOLSCULPT ELITE – FASTER RESULTS AND MORE FAT FREEZING

It is a gentle treatment that feels like getting a hot stone massage – what better could you ask for this summer?

Why is EMTONE a star anti-cellulite treatment?

Well, first of all, it is the only treatment that reduces all causes of cellulite with its thermal and mechanical energy. EMTONE heats the underlying layers of your skin and triggers collagen production in the exact area where cellulite appears. Your skin gets firmer and tighter and prevents cellulite from appearing on its surface.

Plus, EMTONE improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage and thus makes your entire silhouette slimmer and nicely contoured.

When you add this all up you get a treatment that reduces fat pockets, remodels collagen fibers, restores the elasticity of the skin and eliminates metabolic waste – that’s a lot for a single treatment, but EMTONE works every time. After a few sessions, you get long-lasting results which include smooth skin with no dimples or lumps.

The results of EMTONE are fully seen after 12 weeks – that’s the time collagen needs to rebuild. Then you can enjoy the beauty of this treatment which includes 44% thicker skin, a 59% increase in collagen and a 64% increase in elastin. Maybe numbers don’t matter to you so much but these results are awesome.

What’s perhaps more important to you is the fact that after EMTONE your legs, buttocks, abdomen or arms will be so smooth and tight that you will be super confident and feel great in your summer clothes.

Are you ready to say goodbye to cottage cheese and orange-peel-looking dimples and embrace your beach-ready body? Then EMTONE is going to be your star treatment this summer.

October is a month of Breast Cancer Awareness where patients share their stories, address the stigma of this disease and engage the public. Pink October is also a month of learning about how to continue with your life after breast cancer and getting support for having breast reconstruction surgery.

For women who already had or will have a mastectomy because they’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer or are at risk of developing it, breast reconstructive surgery is one of the options for rebuilding their lost breast or breasts and helping them feel at least a little good about themselves again.

It’s not easy to accept that you gave up a part of your body that makes you feel like a woman. It’s normal to feel sad or anxious about it because your breasts make you look good in clothes or how you feed your babies. Nobody can deprive you of those memories. But now, you can move forward and decide what you want to do next and if breast reconstruction surgery is the right for you.

There are many questions that spring to your mind the moment you decide to have breast reconstruction surgery – Will it make me feel whole again? Where do I find the best surgeon? Will I need to recover for a long time? What kind of surgeries are there? And so on. Let’s try to answer some of those questions and bring this type of surgery closer to you.

Getting a breast rebuilt is just your choice. People around you should support the decision you make about it. This surgery may help you feel emotionally and physically like yourself again, but it’s essential to consider all the aspects before you actually have it. All the reasons you have when considering breast reconstruction are only yours. You may choose to have this surgery to balance your breasts while wearing a swimsuit or bra. Another reason could be making your clothes fit better. Also, you might decide on breast rebuild because you don’t want to wear an external breast prosthesis and you want to permanently return your breast or breasts to their previous shape. In the end, you may decide to have this surgery because of one simple reason – you want to feel good about your body again. Even though breast reconstruction leaves scars on your breast, they should fade with time. Numerous new techniques lower the number of scars. After reconstruction surgery, your breasts will be symmetrical again, and help you feel good and attractive in your clothes.

There are two main techniques of breast reconstruction -breast implants and autologous or flap reconstruction. Sometimes they can be used together.

Breast implants are made of silicone gel and come in different shapes and sizes. There are new generations of implants that are of the highest quality, which means that you don’t need to replace them every ten years. If you are not experiencing any problems with them, they can last forever. Breast reconstruction with implants is somewhat easier to perform, and recovery is faster. Your plastic surgeon may place the implant on top of your chest muscle or beneath it. This decision is made after the mastectomy because the surgeon can see how much breast skin has remained and if it is thick enough to hold the implant. If not, the implant can’t be placed on the top of the muscle. On the other hand, if a lot of chest muscle or tissue was removed, then placing the implant under the muscle may not be a good choice. In any case, your plastic surgeon will find the best solution for you, because every woman is different and is in a different situation.

Autologous or flap reconstruction is another technique for breast reconstruction. The surgeon takes tissue from a donor area like your abdomen, thighs or back and transfers it to your breasts. This technique is perhaps more difficult to perform but in the long run, it can be a good option. A skilled surgeon can perform this surgery like an artist – you won’t have to deal with it again because it can last forever. The condition to have this technique performed for breast reconstruction is that you have enough tissue in your donor sites that can be transferred into your breasts. Since this is an entirely natural approach where your own tissue is used, some of that tissue can get reabsorbed by your body. Therefore, the surgeon may have to transfer more tissue than necessary to avoid this. Even though this technique tends to leave more scars on your body, it has been improved to avoid this side effect as much as possible. The surgeon can use advanced liposuction techniques like Tumescent lipo, which is done with just local anesthesia and is much gentler to your skin during tissue extraction.

Next to the technique used for breast reconstruction, you can also consider when this surgery is done. It again depends on your specific situation and what is regarded as the best for you. Your surgeon can perform breast reconstruction at the same time as mastectomy surgery. This is called immediate reconstruction. If this time works well for you, you can have both surgeries simultaneously and wake up with a reconstructed breast or breasts. Here it’s essential that your plastic surgeon and breast cancer surgeon work closely together to perform both surgeries properly. But if you need treatments like radiation or chemotherapy after mastectomy, then this approach may not be the best. Of course, your priority then would be to complete all the necessary treatments first before you can start considering breast reconstruction. As we already mentioned, each situation is different, and it is vital that you and your plastic surgeon are on the same page about the time of your breast rebuild surgery. If it’s better to do breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy and all the treatments, then we talk about delayed reconstruction. It can be performed 6 to 12 months after all the treatments and after your tissue has healed. It can also be done years after the mastectomy, so you don’t have to hurry with it. Once again, it is essential that you consult with your plastic surgeon and decide which option will work best in your case.

The last phase in your breast reconstruction surgery can be nipple and areola rebuild. Here it’s all about your choice, whether you want nipple reconstruction or not. Sometimes, the nipple can be spared during mastectomy and left in its original place. But usually, the nipple is also removed with the rest of the breast during mastectomy. If you decide to have the nipple and areola reconstruction, this surgery will be performed separately. This surgery makes the rebuilt breast look like the original one. You can have this surgery after a couple of months when your newly rebuilt breast has healed. A skillful plastic surgeon can do wonders with this surgery. Your newly reconstructed nipple and areola can almost perfectly match the size, position, texture, projection, and shape of your natural nipple. The surgeon uses the tissue from the reconstructed breast or skin from another area of your body. You can even match the color of your natural nipple and areola with tattooing, which you can get a couple of months after nipple reconstruction.

During breast awareness month, we must also mention men and their chest issues. Even though breast reconstruction is usually reserved for female patients, a lot of men have problems with gynecomastia and in some rare cases, breast cancer. Dr. Alessandro Caielli is a certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in gynecomastia surgery and male chest reconstruction. Dr. Caielli is an experienced surgeon whose openness and friendly nature help his male patients to feel more than welcome. There maybe a huge stigma about male breast reduction, but actually, it shouldn’t be so – men deserve to feel confident about their upper body appearance. And meeting with Dr. Caielli brings that confidence closer to men. After having a consultation with this brilliant plastic surgeon, male patients get a customized treatment plan that specifically addresses their concerns about gynecomastia surgery. When Dr. Caielli answers all his male patients’ questions, they realize that having this type of surgery is not taboo. On the contrary, it greatly improves their quality of life.

  In the end, we all understand that when you decide to have breast reconstruction or gynecomastia surgery, the most important thing you need is support– support from your family, friends, and of course, your doctors. When having these surgeries at Lucia Clinic, plastic surgeons and the rest of the team will go the extra mile in helping you feel comfortable and provide you with the best possible care. This singles Lucia Clinic out – each patient is considered as an individual with individual concerns and medical conditions. You are more than welcome at Lucia Clinic.

This month we have prepared awesome specials for you – refresh your eyes with upper Blepharoplasty, freeze away unwanted fat with CoolSculpting or finally get rid of cellulite with EMTone treatment. This month is all about rejuvenating, shaping and slimming – choose the treatment that will make you feel radiant, confident and youthful again.

UPPER EYELID SURGERY AT LUCIA CLINIC

Do you feel that your upper eyelids are too saggy and make you look tired, bothered and older? Then this popular and effective plastic surgery will bring a smile back to your face. By lifting your upper eyelids you can appear rested and rejuvenated. Actually, your whole face can look refreshed after this simple and fast surgical procedure. That’s how powerful it is – only a small improvement in your upper eyelids can make your face look more open and younger.

TAKE YEARS OFF YOUR FACE WITH UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY

The key to this surgery is removing excess fat, skin and muscles that puff your eyelids and make them look heavy. Once you get rid of these culprits of droopy eyelids, you will stop pulling back the skin around your eyes – the appearance of your eyes will finally mirror how you feel. People will stop asking you – Are you tired? Instead, they will wonder -What’s the secret of your rejuvenated look? How did you turn back the time? But nobody will tell that you had an upper Blepharoplasty because the results are completely natural-looking.

LIFT YOUR UPPER EYELIDS FAST AND WITH SHORT DOWNTIME

Upper Blepharoplasty is a straightforward and fast procedure and you can go home soon after it’s finished. Another benefit is that it can be done just with local anesthesia which means that the recovery period is much shorter You will be out and about in no time.

LOOK YOUNGER AND REFRESHED AND IMPROVE YOUR VISION

This is a huge plus from this surgery. If you are having trouble with your peripheral vision, one of the reasons could be your droopy eyelids. The excess skin is preventing you from seeing properly.

You don’t have to worry about scars or other side effects that are left after this treatment. Since it is a non-invasive procedure, there is no downtime – you can continue with your daily routine right away. But with a big difference – your natural body contours will be accentuated once the unwanted fat cells are frozen away.

COOLSCULPTING COMPLEMENTS BRILLIANTLY YOUR DIET AND EXERCISE REGIME

We have already mentioned that a proper diet and regular exercise might not be enough for eliminating fat pockets from some areas of your body. But this treatment will freeze away that excess fat without the risk of fat returning back. This method of fat elimination guarantees that the eliminated fat won’t come back. During the treatment session, the fat cells in your trouble spot are frozen to the temperature that destroys them and when you eliminate those destroyed fat cells you can see up to 20% of less fat in the treated area. Of course, this happens when you flush away all the cells and the speed depends on how fast is your metabolism.

Once you reach your ideal body shape, you will be even more motivated to continue with your diet and exercise. CoolSculpting can be your effective ally in achieving and maintaining your desired body image.

Last but not least, try the EMTone treatment and solve your problems with cellulite.

GET RID OF CELLULITE AT LUCIA CLINIC

Next to fat pockets, cellulite can be another pesky and stubborn skin condition. Cellulite can leave you feeling insecure to wear short clothes because of its unattractive dimples. And another thing – it can appear everywhere – on your thighs, buttocks, arms, waist or knees. But luckily, you can finally eliminate cellulite with a unique EMTone treatment.

FIRM YOUR SKIN IN A NON-INVASIVE WAY

EMTone is truly a unique treatment – it eliminates cellulite and tones your loose skin. During the treatment, the applicator heats deeper layers of your skin and awakens the collagen. This protein starts to build up and makes your skin tight again. At the same time, the heat affects the tissue that creates cellulite and eventually makes your skin smoother and tighter. Cellulite has finally met its match – EMTone treatment!

EMTONE TREATMENT BRINGS YOU LONG-LASTING RESULTS

We all know that cellulite can appear because of different reasons but that’s not even the problem – the issue is always how difficult it is to eliminate it. Even with a proper diet or exercise you simply can’t make your skin smooth. But this treatment is an excellent partner infighting against unattractive cellulite dimples and still keeping healthy lifestyle habits. Once you see the final results of this amazing treatment, you will be even more motivated to take your fitness goals to the next level and keep your skin smooth and firm for a long time.‍

What singles this treatment out is that it effectively fights against cellulite and at the same time, it is gentle to your skin. It is non-invasive and feels like a hot stone massage. During your treatment session, you just relax while EMTone works its magic underneath your skin. The best thing is that you can continue with your daily activities right away because there is no downtime. Since this procedure leaves the surface of your skin unharmed, you can have this treatment during your lunch break.

YOU WILL LOVE EMTONE TREATMENT

Why? Because it can benefit your skin so much. It reduces accumulated fat, improves blood circulation and eliminates the built-up metabolic waste underneath your skin. All this contributes to the reduction of cellulite and improves the appearance of your skin. After a couple of sessions, you will notice that your skin quality is better – all because of newly produced collagen and elastin. That’s how brilliant EMTone is – it’s gentle to your skin but it effectively eliminates cellulite dimples.

Are you bothered with droopy eyelids or saggy bags underneath your eyes? Do you feel energetic and youthful, but your eyes start to say the opposite? Do you look in the mirror and constantly pull back saggy skin around your eyelids and wish that your appearance would reflect how you feel? And, on top of all that, are people constantly asking if you are tired?

Then Blepharoplasty or eyelid lift surgery is your answer. This popular but very effective cosmetic procedure can improve the look of your eyes and make you appear rested, refreshed, and youthful again. You can take years off your face just by lifting your eyelids. The key is to remove excess skin fat and muscles that make your eyes appear puffy and put weight on your eyelids. This procedure can also have a functional purpose – it can improve your vision by removing the skin on the eyelids that prevents you from seeing properly.

After Blepharoplasty, you will not only restore your vision but also appear younger and alert. Only a slight facial improvement can do so much for your entire appearance.

LIFT BOTH UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS AT ONCE

This benefit of Blepharoplasty is what brings you dramatic results. The procedure can address droopy upper eyelids by removing excess skin or fatty tissue. Afterward, the loose skin is tighter, and your eyes appear more open.  During the same procedure, you can get rid of bags and crepey skin underneath your eyes. Once this excess fat is removed, your eyes appear smooth and soft. When your eyes appear puffy, they cast a shadow on your undereye area and can partially contribute to dark circles. But after the under eyelid surgery, the dark circles get dramatically improved. So, your eyes appear fresh and rejuvenated on the whole. If you don’t want the surgery performed on both eyelids, you don’t have to. You can choose to have an upper eyelid lift – Blepharoplasty is fully customizable. The procedure is much shorter if you have just an upper eyelid lift. It’s all up to you and the aesthetic goals you wish to achieve.

HAVE THE BLEPHAROPLASTY SURGERY WITH JUST LOCAL ANESTHESIA

At Lucia Clinic, you can have eyelid lift surgery just with IV sedation and local anesthesia. This keeps you awake, but you feel comfortable and relaxed. You don’t feel any discomfort and can answer all your surgeon’s questions. This is a big plus – you avoid the side effects connected to general anesthesia. Also, you can recover from the surgery much faster. And since this is an outpatient procedure, you are free to go home soon after it’s over. Just make sure to have somebody drive you home. The fact that this procedure doesn’t require extended downtime makes it so popular. You can return to work after about ten days or even sooner if the surgeon gives you the green light. All the bruising and swelling are resolved until then, but if you still have minor side effects, you can easily cover them with makeup.

REJUVENATE YOUR EYELIDS WITHOUT THE FEAR OF SCARS

Even though Blepharoplasty involves making incisions in your eyelids, the risk of visible scars is minimal. This is all thanks to the highly experienced Lucia’s plastic surgeon, whose skill and expertise will put you at ease regarding the scars. The surgeon makes the incisions in the natural creases of the eyelid. As a result, the scars are strategically hidden and fade with time. So rest assured that this procedure is done with absolute precision and that your well-being is in the first place. Moreover, eyelid lift surgery carries a low risk of complications and side effects. By carefully following all the surgeon’s post-care recommendations, you can shorten your recovery period and get back to everyday life faster.

COMBINE BLEPHAROPLASTY WITH OTHER PROCEDURES FOR A FULL REJUVENATION

As we have already established, eyelid lift surgery can be a powerful ally in restoring the youthful appearance of your eyes. This anti-aging procedure is a charm against aging and droopy skin on your eyelids. But you don’t have to stop here – you can easily combine Blepharoplasty with other anti-aging treatments. Cosmetic surgeries like a brow lift or a facelift can be performed alongside an eyelid lift for even more remarkable results. Not only do you rejuvenate your eyes, but you also reduce the wrinkles on your forehead or around your eye area. The effects are unique – your whole upper face area can appear years younger. All because of these wonderfully complementing procedures. And again, you have the designs done simultaneously – think about how much time you save on recovery! Of course, it’s all up to you again – you decide if you want the additional procedure done next to Blepharoplasty. During the consultation with your plastic surgeon, you can discuss if complementing procedures are necessary and, if they are, which ones would be the best for you.

AN UNEXPECTED BENEFIT OF BLEPHAROPLASTY – IT IMPROVES YOUR VISION

This is where the functional benefit of the eyelid lift surgery comes to light – by firming the eyelids. Blepharoplasty can improve your peripheral/side vision. You can develop saggy eyelids because of age or genetics. At some point, you realize that your field of vision is impaired because of droopy skin. This can interfere with your everyday life because you can’t perform some actions. Luckily, an eyelid lift can be the answer to this problem. After this surgery, you can have a clear view of your sight again. So, as you can see, Blepharoplasty has a double benefit – not only does it improve your appearance, but it also helps you see better. Next to its aesthetic benefits, Blepharoplasty can also improve your quality of life.

EXPECT LONG-LASTING RESULTS AFTER EYELID LIFT SURGERY

And also, you can see the first improvements in the look of your eyes soon after the surgery. You have to wait for the swelling to resolve, and you will notice that your eyes are more alert and youthful-looking. Even though it may take about a year to see the full results of the surgery, your eyelids gradually get more and more improved. It is worthwhile to wait for the outcomes because they will last for up to 10 years or even more. Indeed, we can’t stop aging, but you can prolong the effects of Blepharoplasty by protecting your eyes from the sun so that the skin on your eyelids doesn’t age fast. And that healthy lifestyle habits and proper skin care can keep the results even longer. Finally, you can opt to maintain the effects of this surgery with Botox injected in the eyebrow area to maintain your eyes’ youthful appearance and alertness.

HAVE A CONSULTATION WITH A SKILLED PLASTIC SURGEON

Getting Blepharoplasty can change your life. Improving under-eyebags, loose and saggy skin on the eyelids, and wrinkles around the eye area can be an excellent investment in yourself and your future. There are numerous benefits to undergoing this surgery, from improving your vision to achieving a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance. But both the results and the recovery period depending on your specific situation and your plastic surgeon. So it’s vital to choose a surgeon you can trust who has extensive experience performing this procedure. During your initial consultation with Lucia’s plastic surgeon, you can ask all the questions you might have about this surgery – rest assured that you will get full attention. Lucia’s plastic surgeon will gladly answer all your questions and work with you to create a customized treatment plan that will address only your eyelid concerns – this way, you are guaranteed to have a smooth recovery, minimal scarring, and natural-looking results.

HOW CAN YOU SEE IF YOU’RE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BLEPHAROPLASTY?

As we’ve already mentioned, your eyes tell everything – even before you speak. Puffy bags underneath your eyes and loose skin on your eyelids make you look tired or sad. When you have these concerns, you can’t conceal them with makeup – it just doesn’t work. And as your eyelids start to lose their elasticity, you can’t even put on makeup because the eyeshadow or eyeliner is creasing over the excess skin on your eyelids. But, perhaps the most annoying sign that you should consider Blepharoplasty is that the skin under your eyebrows is so saggy that you can feel it when you blink. All these issues can be a thing of the past after eyelid lift surgery. Of course, during the consultation with your plastic surgeon, you will get the go-ahead with the surgery, provided that you don’t have any medical issues and are generally healthy. Just imagine – after the excess skin has been removed and your eyelids lifted, you will enjoy your younger, more energetic, and more awake appearance. You can say goodbye to looking tired!

TURN BACK THE TIME WITH BLEPHAROPLASTY

You will love eyelid lift surgery! It can do so much for your overall appearance. Aesthetically, Blepharoplasty can restore a youthful and refreshed appearance to your eyes and the whole face.
