Quick Facts: Highlights of the ASAPS 2008 Statistics on Cosmetic Surgery

Liposuction No Longer the Most Popular Surgical Procedure According to New Statistics
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports 10.2 Million Cosmetic Procedures in 2008

NEW YORK, NY (March 16, 2009) – Over 10.2 million cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures were performed in the United States in 2008, according to statistics released today by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. The Aesthetic Society, after collecting multi-specialty procedural statistics since 1997, says the overall number of cosmetic procedures has increased 162 percent since the collection of the statistics first began. The most frequently performed nonsurgical procedure was Botox injections and the most popular surgical procedure was breast augmentation.“For the first time in the twelve years these statistics have been collected liposuction is a runner up in popularity to breast augmentation. There is no doubt that this turnabout will generate discussions in the medical community and the public at large,” Alan Gold, MD, Aesthetic Society president, reflects that “changes in fashion, i.e. décolletage baring styles, might be a factor behind this change.”

Taking Care of Your Skin During the Winter Months

Beals — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 23:09:45 +0000

With winter here in full force, Arizona residents need to pay special attention to taking good care of their skin. This involves a daily regimen that includes proper cleansing, exfoliation, moisture restoration, and UV protection. Many people often think that sunscreen is most important during the summer months. While the summer sunshine we receive in Arizona can be harsh on unprotected skin, guarding your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays should be a year round concern for everyone interested in maintaining healthy, vibrant skin. Beyond excessive dryness in the winter climate of Arizona, the sun’s rays can still take their toll on your skin.

The staff of Dr. Beals’ Wellness and Medical Spa recommends regular use of sunscreen during winter months. Among the most innovative products available for protecting your skin from ultraviolet damage are the sunscreen brushes offered by Colorescience®. The retractable brushes contain a blend of purely natural mineral powders, without additives, that enhance the beauty of skin while blocking out damaging UVA and UVB rays. The Colorescience® Sunforgettable brushes are rated at SPF 30 and have 12% Titanium Dioxide and 12% Zinc Oxide. It can even be easily re-applied over make-up! They are water resistant, sweat resistant, and provide instant UV protection that all women need to keep the sun from damaging their skin.

Make sure you are giving your skin the proper care and attention it deserves this winter by protecting your face and body from sun damage. Dr. Beals’ Wellness and Medical Spa carries the Colorescience® Sunforgettable sunscreen brushes to make sure that our valued patients have the products necessary to maintain their vibrant and healthy skin.
