| Fresh Skin with IPL Laser Treatments |
The effects of time, environmental factors, and certain medical disorders can leave skin in need of repair. Fortunately, at Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center, we offer a variety of high-quality, non-invasive skin treatments to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne and other scars, birthmarks, discolored patches of skin, rosacea, and more.
There are many terms for IPL laser treatments, such as IPL photo facial rejuvenation, IPL facial rejuvenation, and IPL photo rejuvenation – but they all use an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) laser. At Beautologie, we use the Lumenis One IPL Photo Facial Rejuvenation System, one of the most advanced and popular facial rejuvenation systems on the market, from one of the largest and best laser companies in the world. Dr. Milan Shah and the doctors of Beautologie are committed to the very best technology, and know that not all lasers are equal. That is why they purchase different lasers for specific procedures, rather than using an all-in-one laser. Using specific lasers for different treatments ensures that you will get the best looking results possible.
So, what does the IPL laser do? It sees pigment on the skin, and recognizes the difference between regular skin and scarred, discolored, or unhealthy skin. It then uses the intense pulsed light penetrating deep in the skin to do a controlled burn of that irregular pigment. During this process collagen is stimulated and new skin is formed leading to firmer skin, pore closure, and minimizes fine lines and wrinkles. Individuals with redness, blotchiness, or flushing of the skin on the face and/or neck from rosacea, hyperpigmentation, acne, sun damage, and other conditions can achieve a more uniform skin tone with this effective and safe treatment from Dr. Shah. Just remember, since this is new skin, it is important to protect it and your investment! Sunscreen is the best defense against the harsh UV rays of the sun.
It freshens the skin - improving the quality, tone, and texture!

What is a Mommy Makeover?
It is a combination of plastic surgeries, including breast augmentation or lift, abdominoplasty (or tummy tuck), and smart liposuction. It is designed for women who are finished having children, and want their pre-pregnancy bodies back. A Mommy Makeover is intended to help women in their 30’s and 40’s reclaim their inner confidence and reflect how youthful and attractive they feel on the inside!
Motherhood may be rewarding, but pregnancy is certainly not rewarding on women’s bodies. It causes dramatic changes such as loss of breast volume from breast feeding, stretched and sagging skin from pregnancy, and weight gain that can not be fixed with diet and exercise. The damage is not all on the outside, either. As the baby grows and forces the uterus against the inside of the abdominal muscle wall, the two vertical “six pack muscles” get stretched apart and elongate. Once the abdominal muscles separate, they can only be repaired through surgery. Our surgeons at Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center are skilled in the latest plastic surgery techniques for the most natural-looking results with minimal scarring. Our patients achieve a stunning appearance that not only enhances their beauty, but also their self-confidence.
So what makes a Mommy Makeover so unique? It’s designed to get results in the areas most affecting women post-pregnancy! By combining breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction together, it is also designed to minimize recovery and downtime. Every women is different, therefore determining what type of breast augmentation or lift procedure is right for you is unique. Breast augmentation adds implants to recreate the full look of the natural breast and breast lifts tighten the skin to prevent sagging. Dr. Shah will evaluate and discuss which procedure, or combination of procedures, is right for you. During the tummy tuck procedure, an incision will be made to remove the excess hanging skin; the muscles will then be sewn together so that you get a flatter appearance from the side as well. Liposuction will also be performed in the lower and upper abdomen, hips, and thigh
areas to achieve the contoured look that patients are looking for.
