I Apologize: for Not Sharing the Beauty Secrets I’ve Learned Over 20 Years

Before and After Thermage

In an ultimate act of selfishness, I’ve been holding back. I was worried—worried that someone might criticize me, that someone might not like me. Protecting my feelings took priority. I haven’t shared the magic I’ve learned about beauty over the past 20 years. Plus, I needed to see 17 years of results to be positive about what the treatments have done for me. Our thousands of clients will never tell. They are too high profile. Let me tell you what’s really going on in the world of non-surgical beauty, and why so many are getting disfigured, overfilled with fillers, or over-paralyzed with Botox.

Non-surgical skin tightening is magical, and we’ve mastered it. Over the years, we’ve achieved results that others can only dream of—results backed by objective proof.

Conversations with Legends

A few years ago, I was chatting with Dr. Brian Kinney, one of the most famous Beverly Hills plastic surgeons (may he rest in peace). During our small talk, I mentioned how many Thermage treatments we perform and shared our little secret: we give patients a painkiller so we can safely reach the highest, most effective temperature. This ensures the best results for a one-time treatment. He admitted something surprising: he’d never trust his technician to do that.

But that’s where we’re different. Danielle, our technician, has delivered more Thermage treatments than anyone in New York for multiple years. We’ve invested over $150,000 annually for years just on the treatment tips. Why? Because every patient deserves great results with zero downtime. Our treatments don’t even cause a slight sunburn. I have videos of myself driving home after my sessions, ready to attend a party if I wanted to. That’s how confident I am in our process.

Innovating Thermage Treatments

Let’s talk numbers: With the NXT device we used 1200-pulse tips for full face and neck treatments. While most others used 600 pulses—not even half a treatment! You dont have to be a geek to understand half a treatment isnt worth much, especially since the results are additive. PS in case any geeks are looking to find fault, the numbers are different with the Newer FlX which we do offer. We’ve gone further, offering two treatments a year (a protocol the company doesn’t officially recommend but that has proven results). The results speak for themselves. Ask the folks at Thermage—Danielle’s track record is unmatched.

Carboxytherapy: Magic for Stretch Marks

While we’re on the subject of Beverly Hills plastic surgeons, let me address a comment from a particularly famous one who’s on not on one but two TV shows. He claimed Carboxytherapy isn’t safe. Want to laugh? Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most commonly used gas for insufflation during laparoscopic surgeries. Quarts of CO2 are used daily on each patient in operating rooms. We use barely a drop for Carboxytherapy to treat stretch marks. And while you were reading this you exhaled Co2, thats known as breathing. It is something we all learned in grade school. I dont comment on things I dont know.

Here’s how it works: the stretch mark is broken up with a needle, which also delivers a tiny drop of CO2. This encourages circulation and stimulates the area for healing. It’s pure magic. Clearly, our TV celebrity physician has never stepped into an operating room. So yes, in this instance, I’ll confidently say I know better.

Why Expertise Matters

Both Thermage and Carboxytherapy are powerful tools, but they absolutely require expertise. Look up reviews on Thermage, and you’ll see the difference between good and bad practitioners. It’s all too easy to deliver the wrong number of pulses to the wrong areas. Do any of us have perfectly symmetrical faces? Does everyone have the same needs under their chin, on their cheeks, or around their jawline? No.

Now here’s a funny one for you: I’ve had callers ask if we use the grid. The grid! This is something painted on the face on day one of training—20 years ago. It suggests evenly distributing pulses: 200 along the jawline, 200 mid-cheek, 200 upper cheek. That approach? A disaster waiting to happen. Everyone’s face is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work.

Years of Listening

Or that I have answered three calls a day for 17 years—around 17,000 phone calls—and have asked each person what treatments they’ve done and what their results were. So yes, I know better than literally anyone what works and what doesn’t. Take, for instance, the last CoolSculpting seminar I attended. The salesman whipped out his phone, Googled “bad CoolSculpting,” and showed me an image that looked like a shark bite. He explained that you’d need at least eight treatments for the stomach area: four on the front and two on each flank. Even then, you’d have eight shark bites, not a smooth result.

Or consider the Cutera seminar, where their fat-melting treatment involves a dozen pads stuck in place. I asked the doctor lecturing about the difference between that and handheld treatments like Exilis. With a wand, you can keep moving, allowing higher temperatures and smoother results. His response? “I’ve never operated one; I have no idea.”

The Apology

So here I am, finally shouting from the rooftops what thousands of our patients already know. These treatments, when done right, are transformative. But they must be done by someone skilled, someone who knows how to customize every pulse, every injection, every treatment to the individual. I’m sorry for holding back, for not sharing sooner. It’s time to change that.

If you’re ready to experience beauty treatments done right—by someone who truly knows what they’re doing—you know where to find us. Let’s do this the right way.

PS: It is your choice if you want lips, tits, and butt too big and completely frozen faces and want to take out a mortgage for it. Just not what we do.

Are you being sold a bill of goods ?

I wrote something this morning for Precision Aesthetics. I then recorded it as a podcast. But let me be a little redundant here because sometimes you need to hear something said a number of different ways before it makes sense. Especially if its about something you know nothing about. Also I sometimes take for granted all of the non surgical technologies that are in the beauty industry and think the average person has heard of them. So a little bit of background about it all then maybe what I recorded might make more sense. Let me just mention a few technologies that we offer. Thermage tightens skin, Exilis melts fat, Emsculpt make muscles by forcing 20,000 contractions, Carboxytherapy reduces stretch marks. When we see a new client we design a program that is personalized to address their particular needs. Everyone has their own unique combinations of loose skin, stretch marks, cellulite, that would require some combination of technologies to get the best results for that individual. So someone “selling” you their only machine makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. See if this makes any sense with that context

Thermage Face Male 35 to 65 Me!!

AGE 35 to 64

John top AGE 35  note LOOSE SKIN nasolabial folds

To Be Clear  This is all about the cheeks and the jaw line   The lower face.  That is the area that the Thermage treatment  has the most obvious and dramatic results. That was more than 30 years ago 1988, I did not have great genes.  Notice the loss of volume and collagen in the cheeks.  Pronounced nasolabial  folds  ( the lines from the nose to the corner of the mouth).  Obvious thin skin, skin is practically hanging    Loss of volume in upper cheeks   This was so long ago I even had hair and a black leather jacket LOL.  I am not even smiling and you can see the skin is loose.

BELOW 20 YEARS LATER LOTS OF COLLAGEN LOST John AGE 53

100_0345.JPG

Age 53, 18 years later or 12 years ago.   I had one Thermage treatment.  Actually an improvement over my 35 year old self.  You can see my skin is tighter.   But I lost a lot if not all of  the collagen in my cheeks.  I think these pictures really make a compelling argument for the loss of collagen and a saggy lower jaw as the primary signs of aging,  as well as the restoration of collagen with Thermage as the most natural solution for a youthful face.   It is far superior to a face lift     Who needs thin skin stretched out over bones ? That doesn’t make you look younger. It merely makes you look older or like an old person with a facelift

BELOW  AGE 64    TEN YEARS LATER and a few Thermage Treatments over the past 10 years

Version 2

ABOVE  AGE 64   I had one Thermage treatment September 2017  I was afraid I was finally getting too old and could no longer fight some loose skin, But its all gone and tight again.  Now if I can just get some botox for my forehead I can look even younger LOL

BELOW AGE  65  THERMAGE Today at 65  A perfectly straight jaw line, No double chin, No Chin fat, No jowls, No loose skin.  No Nasolabial folds or marionette lines (from the nose to the corner of the mouth.  Those lines are almost invisible which I actually had at 35 ( the top photo)

Thermage Face Male jaw lineVersion 2

ABOVE  65   First time I did a second treatment in less than a year ( like the ladies do)   You have to admit, me at 64 and 65 there is zero signs of aging in my lower face. Do I need botox ? Yes.  Could I use a full head of hair ? LOL  maybe.  But as far as what Thermage can do.  Its done !  Go back and look at me at 35.  Would really expect me to have a perfectly straight jaw line, no jowls, no double chin.  Not a drop of loose skin on the lower face 30 years later ?  PS I  did not get cheek implants.  In fact its obvious that I havent even had botox in over 2 years  Any filler or botox is completely worn off.  This is Thermage and only Thermage

This is a perfect example of the sweet spot for thermage.  Someone who had a baby or recently lost weight and has loose skin.  Because the treatment affects the collagen layer.  There is an immediate tightening. The collagen layer also holds back the fat ( by the way thats the first clue to understanding cellulite, it has everything to do with the collagen mesh that holds back fat but thats in another post)  So besides the immediate tightening long term your body is stimulated to grow more collagen which further tightens and smooths either your face or your body,  More thermage before and afters here
