Here comes the bride – Step over to the doctor’s office before stepping down the aisle

Posted on by

The Calgary Herald recently featured a wonderful article on popular cosmetic procedures for both brides and grooms.

All of the procedures are available for brides and grooms of Southern Colorado at Adonis Aesthetics in Pueblo.

From the article:

Everyone wants to look picture-perfect on his or her wedding day, and some brides- and grooms to-be are taking an extra step to the doctor’s office before stepping down the aisle.

Popular Procedures

Laser Skin Resurfacing - With fractional laser skin resurfacing, a hand-held unit delivers light in an array of narrow, focused “microbeams” to create columns of coagulation within the skin. These columns form new healthy tissue naturally, resulting in an improved skin appearance.

Adonis provides ProFractional XC. This laser just released from Sciton in September 2008 produces a dramatic improvement in wrinkles, fine lines, acne and other scars, tone and texture of the skin with little to no downtime.

Photo Facial – Many brides get the treatment on their chests and hands as well as their faces, to erase sun spots before their big day.

The type of laser used at Adonis Aesthetics for Photofacials is called a BBL (Broad Band Light system). This IPL treatment is used to treat sun damage, unsightly veins, blood vessels and rosacea.

Injectables and fillers, such as Botox and Juvederm – Common procedures for brides and grooms to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or fill in the areas around the eyes or jowls.

Liposuction - Many couples come in for liposuction about a year before their big day.While women want to make sure their bodies are shapely to fit their wedding dresses, many grooms want liposuction to reduce their pot bellies or target their pectoral areas, especially if they’re headed to a tropical hot spot for their honeymoon.

Dr. Rina Shinn of Adonis Aesthetics is the first surgeon in Colorado to provide Body-Jet, Water-Assisted Liposuction.
Body-Jet is a new liposuction method that uses a thin, fan shaped water jet that is channeled into the fat tissue. Blood vessels and nerves are not damaged. Body-Jet essentially flushes the fat instead of destroying it. As a result, the fat easily loses its structure and is released.
