Southern Surgical Arts Announces New Savings on Botox Treatments

Posted by Southern Surgical Arts on Jul 30, 2013 3:08:00 PM
Previously sold for $14 per unit, Southern Surgical Arts is offering patients Botox treatments for only $10.99 per unit. Not only does this offer a significant savings on your treatment, you also have confidence that you are receiving authentic Botox.

Dr. Nease and Dr. Deal take pride in the fact that they offer their patients only 100 percent authentic, U.S.-made Botox products. Each of their injections is purchased from Allergan, which is a US based specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company. It is important that you verify that this is the origin of the substance if you are getting Botox treatments.

“If you allow a doctor to utilize unauthentic Botox treatments, you are putting yourself at serious risk,” said Carey Nease, MD, a triple-board certified cosmetic and facial plastic surgeon at Southern Surgical Arts. “It is crucial you ask questions and know the risks that are involved with any procedure where something is being injected into your body, including Botox.”

While Botox is most well-known for the cosmetic benefits, it is also used for a myriad of other purposes. For example, the treatment can help to alleviate twitching eyelids, neck pain, muscle stiffness, excessive sweating of the underarms and lazy eye. It is an effective treatment method, however understanding all of the risks as well as the exact product being used is crucial prior to moving ahead with the treatment.

When you visit Southern Surgical Arts you can have peace of mind that only Allergan Botox units are used, providing you peace of mind that the Botox injections you are receiving are authentic. Call today and take advantage of the special price.

July Facial Specials at Southern Surgical Arts

Posted by Southern Surgical Arts on Jul 17, 2013 12:23:00 PM

For a limited time patients can experience the rejuvenating effects that the procedures at Southern Surgical Arts can provide, at a price that will make you smile.

It’s time to put your best face forward at Southern Surgical Arts – and just in time for summer. During the month of July, Southern Surgical Arts is offering a one-time facial makeover that includes wrinkle reduction, volumizing, and skin brightening – at a special price you can’t resist.

The procedures are simple, noninvasive and can be done in the office in less than 45 minutes. Each of them alone helps you look younger, but the combination of all three will have your face looking its natural best, even in direct light.

The offer includes Botox at the lowest price Southern Surgical Arts has ever offered at $10.99/unit. Botox is the industry leader in eliminating fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead, crow’s feet and “eleven” lines between the eyes. You can purchase a syringe of Radiesse, which corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles by volumizing those areas and get Belotero for $200 OFF; Belotero is one of the newest fillers on the market and can help correct vertical lip lines.

Patients can also target sunspots on your face, arms, décolleté, hands and more with an IPL photofacial treatment. In the month of July, you will enjoy 25% off the regular price of the treatment so that you can obtain a more even-toned complexion.

Aging can take a toll on the skin, as well as other factors. The process of aging also can rob skin of its fullness, brightness, shine and vitality. Cosmetic procedures like the ones offered in July’s special offer at Southern Surgical Arts are safe, quick and can be done over your lunch hour.

Southern Surgical Arts features the expertise of Dr. Chad Deal, a double board- certified cosmetic surgeon, and Dr. Carey Nease, a triple board-certified cosmetic and facial plastic surgeon. Over the last six years, the two surgeons have performed nearly 10,000 cosmetic surgery procedures.

“This is the perfect time of year to care for, protect and revitalize the skin of your face,” says Tammy Capel, an aesthetician at Southern Surgical Arts, “With the procedures offered in our July specials, we are able to meet the needs of our patients who want a visible difference in the look and feel of their skin and overall appearance.”

Get a natural and gradual result with Sculptra®Aesthetic

Sculptra®Aesthetic (injectable poly-L-lactic acid), a cosmetic facial injectable that works gradually, resulting in a more youthful looking appearance that can last up to two years is available at Southern Surgical Arts.

SculptraAesthetic is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment indicated for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold (smile lines) contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles which are treated with the appropriate injection technique in healthy people.

"I am very excited to offer SculptraAesthetic to patients who want to achieve natural-looking results from a cosmetic injectable that is long-lasting, said Carey Nease, MD. “SculptraAesthetic works gradually to achieve results over time, so no one will notice you had work done.”

Wrinkles and folds associated with aging become apparent, primarily through the breakdown of collagen. SculptraAesthetic helps the body replace lost collagen to provide a more youthful looking appearance.

A treatment regimen of SculptraAesthetic, an average of three injection sessions over a few months, has been shown to help correct facial lines and wrinkles by replacing lost collagen over time to provide noticeable results that can last up to two years. SculptraAesthetic is made from poly-L-lactic acid, which has been safely used for the past 25 years in resorbable stitches.  It is biocompatible (a material that does not harm the body) and biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body). Injectable poly-L-lactic acid has also been widely used in Europe for more than a decade for cosmetic treatment.

In a pivotal trial with SculptraAesthetic, swelling and tenderness were the most common adverse events reported (81%).

Results from a recent study conducted for the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) and Sanofi US showed that both injectable users and women considering a medical anti-aging treatment prefer gradual results that last two years (75 percent) as opposed to immediate results that last one year (25 percent).

Botox on the Rise in U.S. and in Chattanooga

Posted by Southern Surgical Arts on May 29, 2013 11:54:00 AM

The rise in minimally invasive cosmetic treatments are up to 13.1 millions treatments in 2012. It is important to understand what these treatments are, how they are carried out, and who provides the best care and service in delivering the product and desired result. For example, Botox, is a trade name for a botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein. Its most famous use is in cosmetic procedures for smoothing out lines on the forehead, crows feet on the side of the eyes, or for severe frown lines. Botox is administered via an injection into the desired area, and it only takes a matter of minutes to perform the procedure. Botox works by relaxing the muscles within these areas and blocks nerve impulses. It takes roughly four days before you notice cosmetic improvement, however, the effects can last up to six months.

Facial Rejuvenation for the Younger Population

Posted by Southern Surgical Arts on May 21, 2013 10:09:00 AM

Facial Rejuvenation is becoming more popular within the United States, including the younger population. With laser technology and affordable injectable treatments, patients in their 20s, 30s and 40s are looking and feeling five to 10 years younger. At Southern Surgical Arts, we offer the latest technology and techniques to help achieve a patient's facial rejuvenation goals.

There are many different options for facial rejuvenation. Dr. Deal and Dr. Nease at Southern Surgical Arts tailor each treatment to the patient's goals. One example is the Liquid Face Lift that can includes several injectables. It often includes Botox or Dysport paired with fillers such as Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra, Perlane, and Juvederm. "When all you have is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail," said Dr. Deal. "With the plethora of injectables and fillers we offer our patients more than just one vendor's products, and we make sure the patient has a treatment plan that is customized for their needs." The ideal candidate is a woman or man ranging from his or her 20s to 50s.

The Laser Face Lift is for the patient that is not yet ready for a Cosmetic Face Lift; but desires an overall rejuvenated look. It often includes treatment with one of our fractionated lasers, the Sciton Profractional or the Affirm CO2, along with SmartLipo, injectables and fillers. The ideal candidate is usually in his or her 40s or early 50s. Patients from Chattanooga and North Georgia don't often realize that Dr. Nease pioneered the Laser Facelift. In fact, he has taught physicians from around the world how to perform the procedure.

Do you look in the mirror and want to minimize wrinkles, deep folds or sun damage? If so, we invite you in for a complimentary consultation with one of our Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeons. Call today at 423-266-3331 or 706-629-8622.
