“Plastic surgeons do it better”

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) is composed of the most highly trained, board-certified physicians specializing in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. By completing at least six years of surgical training with at least three years specifically in plastic surgery, Dr. Joseph Daw and Dr. Steven Sigalove are both members of this prestigious group.

The ASPS requires each physician to operate in a certified surgical facility, each of which must pass meticulous testing of their equipment and staffing. Their mission is to promote high standards of training to advance the quality of care to plastic surgery patients.

Dr. Daw and Dr. Sigalove carry this same set of standards into the field of injectibles performed at the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery (IAS). Botox and fillers such as Juvederm and Radiesse are an innovative treatment option for patients who are looking to rejuvenate their appearance without surgery. The makers of these products are allowed to dispense it to any physician. It requires great skill, training and a careful eye to use these products properly. Plastic surgeons have a great depth of knowledge regarding facial muscles, tissue and nerves.

At the IAS, our physicians insist on being the only ones to administer Botox and injectible fillers. Through their extensive training, artistry and quality of care, Dr. Daw and Dr. Sigalove’s technique gives our patients a soft and refreshed look. When choosing to have injections, it is important to explain to your plastic surgeon what results you expect. They will also make recommendations and do their best to work within your budget.

Due to the skill level of our physicians and the tremendous volume of patients that have been successfully treated with injectible products, we are able to offer significant benefits to our patients. The manufacturers of Botox, Juvederm, and Radiesse recognize the standing of our physicians and therefore exclusively offer unique rewards for our patients; whether it be rebates, buy one get one free offers, or other promotions to help make looking beautiful more affordable.

NEW AESTHETICIAN JOINS THE IAS STAFF

Since opening Cantera Spa in October of 2006, the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery’s (IAS) goal has been to integrate skin care services and products with our patient care. Improved skin tone and texture can make a tremendous difference in one’s self-confidence, and sometimes this simple change is all that is needed. Also, when our patients have taken the time and expense of improving their appearance either surgically or with other treatments, the addition of glowing, healthy skin can be the icing on the cake. In order to continue to offer complimentary aesthetician consultations to patients seeing our physicians for the first time, as well as improved availability for spa services, we have found it necessary to add an aesthetician to our staff. The physicians and staff of the IAS are pleased to announce the addition of our newest Licensed Aesthetician, Izzie Flynn.

Izzie grew up in the Chicagoland area, and received her Illinois Esthetics Licensure in 1994 from the highly regarded Pivot Point International academy. Since then she has had the opportunity to work in all fields related to skin care aesthetics, including five years as Aesthetic Director for a plastic surgeon in Nashville, Tennesee. She has thorough knowledge and experience with the skin care products available at Cantera Spa; and is skilled in performing result oriented treatments such as MicroPeels, Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion, Laser treatments, relaxing facials, and make-up applications.

If you are an existing patient of the IAS, and you haven’t had the opportunity to take advantage of your complimentary, no obligation skin care consultation, please contact our office to schedule an appointment. You may bring your existing skin care products along when you meet with one of our Aestheticians; they can determine if these are the proper products for your skin care goals, and may also recommend products to enhance or replace your current products. Also, don’t forget to check out the last two pages of our newsletter for the current Cantera Spa article and specials!!

Vaser LipoSelection® – Look and Feel Confident!

Many patients are looking for a proven and trusted liposuction method that safely and effectively removes unwanted fat. In fact, liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures performed today. Hundreds of thousands of people choose to have liposuction each year.

Drs. Joseph Daw and Dr. Steven Sigalove, physicians at the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery, are proud to offer Vaser LipoSelection®. This has been proven to be a safer, less painful alternative to traditional liposuction. What distinguishes the LipoSelection® procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues. Only the LipoSelection® procedure uses the VASER System to liquefy fat and then remove it form the body. This promotes smooth results and rapid healing, typically with low to minimal pain. Please contact our office today at 630-348-3000 for information on VASER Liposelection®.

I’ve always had to use false eyelashes.  There were many things I disliked
about the process.  They are difficult to apply, they do not look natural,
and they only last an evening at the most.  It seemed like the only way
to achieve the look I desired…and then I started using Latisse™.
