			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LOS ANGELES, Calif. – As advanced technology ushers in a new era in aesthetic procedures, Epione Medical Corporation continues to provide revolutionary new options for men and women seeking alternatives to <img src="http://www.epione.com/eglamour/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/breast2-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="White uplift" width="150" height="150" align="right" />common surgeries. Recently, the company introduced its trademark laser breast lift, a non-surgical breast enhancement procedure that firms and lifts the skin. Utilizing the <a href="http://www.epione.com/coolbeam"  title="Coolbeam Los angeles"  rel="external">Coolbeam</a>™ laser, available exclusively at Epione’s Beverly Hills’ offices, the procedure eliminates undesirable sagging and delivers long-lasting results.<br />
<span id="more-2634"></span><br />
“Breast enhancement procedures are a highly popular option for women who want to turn back the hands of time, improve self-esteem and reclaim their sexuality,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, medical director of Epione Medical Corporation. “Epione’s laser breast lift is ideal for women in their thirties or older who experience sagging or heavy breasts, and want an improved appearance without the invasiveness of surgery.” </p>
<p>In 2009, breast enhancement outpaced all other cosmetic surgeries, according to recent data released by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. </p>
<blockquote style="float:left;width:200px;margin:0 5px 5px 0;"><p>Revolutionary Non-surgical Laser Breast Enhancement Procedure Offers Safe, Long-Lasting Alternative to Surgery</p></blockquote>
<p>However, while breast enhancement surgeries remain popular, many women still worry about scarring, loss of sensation, recovery time and other complications often associated with breast surgery. Epione’s laser breast lift, a revolutionary alternative that does not require a scalpel, eliminates common concerns, while successfully eliminating the damage done by gravity, age, pregnancy and other factors. </p>
<p>During the laser breast lift procedure, the laser light is absorbed by water in the skin cells around the breast tissue, removing extra tissue and tightening the <a href="http://www.epione.com/collagen-filler"  title="wrinkle collagen filler"  rel="external">collagen</a> fibers in the surrounding skin. With each treatment, the skin appears softer and firmer, resulting in a more youthful appearance.  </p>
<p>While the level of discomfort and pain varies for each patient, some temporary swelling and redness should be expected in the first few days after the procedure. Over-the-counter medication is typically sufficient to alleviate discomfort, however alternative pain relief may be recommended. After the procedure, most patients are able to return to work the following day. </p>
<p>“We are committed to providing our patients with cutting-edge, age-defying solutions that help them feel more confident, attractive and more in control of the aging process,” said Dr. Ourian. “Schedule an appointment to come in and discuss how we can help you look and feel younger and more vital. With our advanced technology and trademark innovation, your options are endless.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beverly Hills, CA&#8211; One of the downsides of dermal filler injections is the pain associated with the injection itself.  For some, this discomfort or the fear of this discomfort may be enough to prevent them from receiving any treatment at all. <img src="http://www.epione.com/eglamour/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/beautiful-face-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="Beauty Zen" width="150" height="150" align="right" />In an effort to improve the patient experience the manufacturers of the most popular dermal fillers, Juvéderm, <a href="http://www.epione.com/radiesse-injections"  title="radiesse los angeles"  rel="external">Radiesse</a> and <a href="http://www.epione.com/restylane-injections"  title="restylane injection cost"  rel="external">Restylane</a>, have produced new formulations that include lidocaine as part of their pre-filled syringe dosage units.  </p>
<p>Originally, the only fillers that contained lidocaine were <a href="http://www.epione.com/collagen-filler"  title="wrinkle collagen filler"  rel="external">collagen</a> based. The bovine collagen fillers were sold under the names Zyderm I, Zyderm II, and Zyplast. The human collagen fillers were known as CosmDerm I,  CosmoDerm II, and CosmoPlast. Doctors quickly realized that adding lidocaine to the injections not only helped relieve pain, but also lessened swelling and bruising in their patients.<br />
<span id="more-2629"></span><br />
After this, lidocaine was added to other fillers.  In a 2008 study Restylane injections were tested for any changes when combined with lidocaine. The study showed no changes, and early results suggested that the lidocaine could increase patient comfort during the procedure. Soon, <a href="http://www.epione.com/juvederm-hyaluronic-acid-filler"  title="hyaluronic acid skin injection and wrinkle removal"  rel="external">Juvederm</a> injections and Radiesse injections were given the lidocaine treatment. </p>
<p>“I have been mixing lidocaine with fillers for some time now,” states Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills. “At the end of the day, I want to provide optimal results while keeping my patients as comfortable as possible.” Dr. Ourian’s patients seem to agree: In the words of G.G., “Thank you!!! Great staff &#8211; am really happy that Dr. Ourian is so experienced and reasonably conservative that he does not over-do the treatments- i.e. he adds a little Radiesse the next time he sees you to achieve the results he wants &#8211; Great work!!” </p>
<p>Epione offers Restylane before and after photos, Radiesse before and after photos and Juvéderm before and after photos on www.epione.com. This is also an excellent source of for finding dermal filler side effects information as well as dermal filler cost.</p>
<p>Lidocaine helps eliminate pain when receiving the fillers, but patients should remember that other preparations are helpful before treatment in order to get best results. Fish oils should be<br />
<blockquote style="display:block;float:left;width:200px;margin:10px 10px 10px 0px;color:#666;">Treatment Will Be Less Painful With Dermal Fillers; Juvéderm®, Radiesse® and Restylane® Pre-filled Syringes Mixed With Lidocaine. These new formulations allow for a better patient experience and quicker recovery.</p></blockquote>
<p> avoided, as well as aspirins, NSAIDs, and St. John’s Wort. Alcohol should also be avoided, as should garlic and ginger because all of these can trigger additional bruising and swelling. With treatments around the mouth the patient must be sure that he or she eats beforehand because he or she may be asked not to move the mouth for up to four hours afterward. </p>
<p>Epione Medical Corporation, located in Beverly Hills Golden Triangle, is among the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art laser and aesthetic surgery centers. Dr. Ourian has been a pioneer for laser technology and non-invasive aesthetic procedures including Restylane®, <a href="http://www.epione.com/botox"  title="botox treatments in los angeles"  rel="external">BOTOX</a>®, Juvéderm®, Radiesse® and Sculptra®.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>March 5, 2010 – Beverly Hills, CA &#8211; Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills, California treats celebrities all the time.<img src="http://www.epione.com/eglamour/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/stretchmarks-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="stretchmarks" width="150" height="150" align="right" /> “I see a lot of models and actresses in my practice and stretch mark removal is one of their biggest concerns. And for more of them than you might imagine,” states Doctor Ourian.</p>
<p>Stretch marks are a condition that affect men and women alike.  Stretch marks are the result of the dermis becoming stretched due to sudden weight gain or weight loss.  Stretch marks during pregnancy are very common. Stretch marks can show up almost anywhere on the body including the stomach, breasts, upper arms and more.<br />
<span id="more-2626"></span><br />
While not physically painful, stretch marks can exact an emotional toll. Sufferers can expend an enormous amount of energy hiding<br />
<blockquote style="float:left;width:200px;margin:0 5px 5px 0;">Hollywood celebrities are always looking for the latest and greatest cosmetic treatments. At one Beverly Hills clinic they can find the newest way to treat their stretch marks.</p></blockquote>
<p>their stretch marks. This includes wearing pants instead of shorts to cover up stretch marks on the thighs or wearing one piece bathing suits instead of bikinis to the beach or pool to cover up stretch marks on the stomach and flanks,. </p>
<p>“If you’re in the public eye every flaw is magnified,” says Dr. Ourian. “There are paparazzi everywhere they go who profit from taking unflattering photos, we’ve all seen them. No one is immune these days. In particular, female celebrities face enormous pressure to look a certain way and some of them come to me for stretch mark treatment.”</p>
<p> “Stretch marks don’t discriminate,” continues Dr. Ourian. “If you get pregnant you’re prone to getting stretch marks; even if you are a celebrity. New moms such as Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie and Gwen Stefani may have stretch marks from pregnancy. Unfortunately no one is immune, though genetics and the amount of weight gain play a large role in the severity of the stretch marks.”</p>
<p>“I just typed ‘celebrity stretch marks’ into Google,” Doctor Ourian continues, “and there are uncomplimentary photos of Katie Holms, Cindy Crawford and Britney Spears. And that’s just the first page of results!”</p>
<p>Doctor Ourian goes on to explain what he believes to be the most effective way to treat stretch marks. “I developed the <a href="http://www.epione.com/coolbeam"  title="Coolbeam Los angeles"  rel="external">Coolbeam</a>™ treatment specifically to treat both red and white stretch marks. In my opinion it achieves better results than other lasers and modalities.”</p>
<p>Dr. Ourian’s patients report little, if any pain with their Coolbeam treatments. A topical anesthetic cream is sometimes applies to lessen any potential discomfort for particularly sensitive patients.</p>
<p>Stretch mark before and after photos are available on www.epione.com. Epione offers free consultations for anyone interested in stretch mark removal. During this consultation prospective clients will learn all they need to about stretch mark removal cost.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On March 1, 2010 Dr. Simon Ourian was featured on KABC7 Los Angeles’ 11:00 News demonstrating a system that can reveal the skin’s true age. With help from this device Dr. Ourian is able to obtain the deepest possible understanding of a patient’s skin.<br />
<span id="more-2623"></span><br />
Beverly Hills, CA, March 3, 2010—Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Medical Corporation, revealed his method for determining the physical age of a client’s skin. By using a special machine, he can examine data from a number of different readouts to tell the client exactly how much skin damage they have suffered. </p>
<p>According to Dr. Ourian the Complexion Analysis System shows “more detailed specifications of aging.” The system can detect early stages of discoloration, UV ray damage, fine lines, and even enlarging pores. By using this data in combination with his extensive training and experience, Dr. Ourian can give patients valuable information on the health of their skin. “I look at the textural changes which shows me if a person is getting hollowness in their face…so I use all this information…that helps me with determining with how I’m going to address a person’s aging,” he said. </p>
<p>Indeed, many clients discover that the physical age of their skin is often much older than their chronological age. For some, the difference can be as much as ten years. Some are sun worshippers from years past; some have medical conditions that cause damage, while others have merely neglected to take care of their skin as they should. Clients come in all ages, shapes, sizes and colors. </p>
<p>Dr. Ourian points out that avoiding skin damage is fairly simple at its core. Wearing sun block daily, no matter what the melanin count or weather is, is mandatory. Staying out of the sun is very important, since sun block can only provide a limited amount of protection. Lastly, large hats and long sleeves help shield the skin from UV rays. </p>
<p>Once the damage has been identified, the next phase is treatment. Dr. Ourian has options for his patients, such as dermal filler injections with <a href="http://www.epione.com/radiesse-injections"  title="radiesse los angeles"  rel="external">Radiesse</a>® or Juvéderm® to get rid of hollows under the eyes and <a href="http://www.epione.com/coolaser"  title="treatment for sun damaged skin"  rel="external">Coolaser</a>™ laser <a href="http://www.epione.com/laser-resurfacing"  title="laser skin resurfacing before &#038; after"  rel="external">resurfacing</a> treatments to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. Laser resurfacing before and after photos and laser resurfacing side effects information can be found on www.epione.com.</p>
<p>The cosmetic procedures recommended by Dr. Ourian are very popular due to their swift results. &#8220;If you have a lot of sun damage and discolorations on your skin the best treatment that we have found is a Coolaser or a fractional laser that removes the top layer of the skin and gives you brand new baby skin,&#8221; he said. Both procedures target the damaged areas only, which allows skin to heal much faster than previous laser treatments. The procedures also take very little time; many of them can be done during a lunch hour, with little to no visible scarring or side effects.</p>
<p>Epione offers a free consultation including an evaluation with the Complexion Analysis System. Radiesse before and after photos and Juvéderm before and after photos can be seen on www.epione.com. Information on Radiesse side effects and Juvéderm side effects can also be found there. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>January 26, 2010, Beverly Hills, CA&#8211;<a href="http://www.epione.com/botox"  title="botox treatments in los angeles"  rel="external">BOTOX</a>® may not just make you look good, but it can actually make you feel good, according to a study conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Studies have shown that according to facial feedback hypothesis, BOTOX® can help patients manage their anger and other negative emotions.<br />
<span id="more-2609"></span><br />
A University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate student decided to study people who had been given BOTOX® treatments that paralyzed one pair of their corrugator muscles. These muscles are the ones used in the forehead in order to frown. He used the idea of facial feedback hypothesis as his basis. </p>
<p>Facial feedback hypothesis states that a person can alter their mood simply by altering their expressions. For instance, someone who has had a bad day can feel better by smiling. BOTOX® has been known to affect the ability of recipients to convey emotions like anger, and has also been known to help depression, according to a 2006 study done by the Society of Dermatologic Surgery. </p>
<blockquote class="floatRight" style="width:200px;margin:0 0 5px 5px;"><p>BOTOX® can not only make you look better it can make you feel better too. New studies indicate there is a correlation between the neuromuscular properties of BOTOX® and the brain’s ability to process negative emotions.</p></blockquote>
<p>During the study, 40 volunteers read statements designed to trigger two particular emotions: angry (&#8220;someone just cut you off on the freeway&#8221;), sad (&#8220;you just discovered that your favorite restaurant shut down&#8221;), or happy (&#8220;you just got an unexpected check in the mail&#8221;). The volunteers pushed a button to show they understood each sentence. Two weeks later, the volunteers got BOTOX® injections for the first time. They then repeated the exercise, having been given another set of emotionally triggering sentences. </p>
<p>The happy sentences were responded to just as quickly as before, but it took the volunteers longer to respond to the angry or sad statements. The idea is that since BOTOX® inhibits the ability to frown, the facial feedback is no longer there. As a result, the volunteers experienced a delay in their response to the statements. </p>
<p>The goal of the experiment was to examine how the comprehension of emotional language relies on physical expression, as well as brainpower. The research indicates the correlation between language, emotions and facial movements.</p>
<p>What appears to happen, is that the normal flow of signals to the brain is interrupted and the ability to appreciate the intensity of emotion when embedded in language. This disruption, maybe less than a second in duration, but this is enough in general conversation where participants are responding quickly to subtle, fast cues. A study at Northwestern University shows that the power of BOTOX® to eliminate brow furrows and forehead creases actually adjusts our emotions to make us happier. </p>
<p> Facial feedback hypothesis is part of a growing field called &#8220;embodied cognition&#8221;. This field assumes that all cognitive processes are rooted in, and reflected in, the body.  Studies in this field have shown that people lean forward when they talk about future events, for instance, but lean back when they discuss the past. When they hold a mug of hot coffee they judge others as warmer and friendlier than when they choose an iced latte. When they ponder their sins, they have an urge to wash.</p>
<p>So the next time you see those frown lines appearing, feel free to get BOTOX®. You may find yourself in a better mood&#8211;and not just because you look fantastic. Epione Beverly Hills is a Black Diamond provider of BOTOX®, an award bestowed by Allergan, Inc. on the top 1% of injectors. Epione offers free consultations to discuss BOTOX® cost and Epione’s website, www.epione.com, is a good place to find BOTOX® before and after photos. BOTOX® side effects include injection site discomfort, tiredness, headache, and neck discomfort. BOTOX® side effects may include ptosis or drooping eyelid. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year in the Los Angeles area, <a href="http://www.epione.com/eyelid-surgery"  title="los angeles eyelid surgery"  rel="external">eyelid surgery</a> is one of the most frequently chosen forms of cosmetic surgery.  This makes some sense, when you consider the fact that your eyes are one of the first things that someone notices about you. If you have a droopy eyelid, or puffy lower eyelids, what do you suppose that says about you?  For most of us, the answer would be “it makes me look older.”  A chance to rejuvenate the youthful look of the face is a big reason that eyelid surgery is so popular in the Los Angeles area.<br />
<span id="more-2507"></span><br />
The more common term for eyelid surgery is blepharoplasty.  It can be done on the upper and lower eyelids.  The technique attempts to tighten these types of droopy eyelids. The technique is also used to remove puffy bags from under the eyes. Very often, Los Angeles eyelid surgery patients will have blepharoplasty performed at the same time as other facial plastic surgeries. For example, you can have this surgery done in combination with a face lift, eyebrow lift, or even nose your lip surgery.  The techniques used are safe enough, and simple enough, to allow them to be combined with other surgeries, thereby eliminating the need for continuous surgeries.</p>
<p>In the Los Angeles area, eyelid surgery is also becoming more popular among men.  In the past, this type of surgery tended to be performed, more frequently, on women.  If a man had eyelid surgery, it was usually for medical necessity, to reduce a vision problem.  That is not the case anymore.  Los Angeles eyelid surgery patients of both sexes are now taking advantage of the renewed look of youth the surgery can bring.  It has become a kind of cultural mantra to find ways to reduce and eliminate the signs of aging.</p>
<p>Not all Los Angeles based patients will be good candidates for eyelid surgery.  If the amount of sagging you have is minimal, there may be other techniques that will work better. For example, eyebrow lift surgery may correct the drooping.  Facial rejuvenation techniques, such as Thermage, may also delay the need for eyelid surgery. For many people, a non-invasive procedure may be a better option. It would also come at a lower price. So, this may be something you really want to discuss with your surgeon.</p>
<p>Los Angeles eyelid surgery techniques are advanced, so you will also see many surgeons offering the option of laser surgery.  The technique involves the use of a CO2 laser pulse beam to make very precise surgical cuts.  The technique also cauterizes blood vessels at the same time. Laser surgery can reduce the amount of bruising and swelling associated with the surgery, and can reduce the amount of recovery time for the surgery. As you look for potential surgeons for eyelid surgery, you may wish to inquire about <a href="http://www.epione.com/laser-eyelid-surgery"  title="laser eyelid surgery in los angeles"  rel="external">laser eyelid surgery</a>.</p>
<p>Los Angeles eyelid surgery patients with an Asian ethnic history should also have plenty of options for skilled surgeons. If you are Asian, you will want to ask questions about how often your surgeon has successfully dealt with variations of eyelid anatomy associated with Asian people. There are some different surgical techniques involved.</p>
<p>Los Angeles eyelid surgery patients will find themselves spending around $2000 to $5000 dollars for most surgeries.  The amount of work to be performed, as well as the complexity of the surgery, will cause the price to vary. Make sure you set an estimate, as part of your pre surgery consultation with your surgeon of choice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the Los Angeles area, surgery for <a href="http://www.epione.com/dark-circles"  title="dark circles remedies"  rel="external">dark circles</a> is becoming a more popular option for people who have a chronic problem with dark circles under their eyes. For many of these people, they have tried the home remedies, cosmetics, and vitamin creams, and still found no permanent solution to the problem. In these cases, surgery may become a viable treatment option. Here is some of the information you will need to know about dark circles surgery in the Los Angeles area.<br />
<span id="more-2505"></span><br />
Los Angeles dark circles surgery experts will make use of a surgical procedure called a “blepharoplasty” to address the problem.  This surgical technique will allow the surgeon to tighten the lose skin under the eyes, as well as remove some of the discoloration that can be caused by a variety of factors. The surgery is outpatient based, and has had a good track record for safety and successful outcomes.</p>
<p>In Los Angeles, traditional dark circles surgery has been going on for years now.  It simply involved the surgical skill of the Provider, who would make an incision around the corners of the eyes, and pull the skin tight from there.  The technique was very successful, but left a scar that was slightly visible to onlookers. This technique is still used sometimes, when the cosmetic surgeon can find a good place to hide the scar. Dark circles surgery in Los Angeles has improved in recent years though.</p>
<p>One of the latest improvements to dark circles surgery in the Los Angeles area has been the introduction of surgeons who can now do a technique called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty.  It is still a more traditional style of surgery, except the surgeon goes on the inside of the eyelid to make the incision that is used to pull the skin tight.  Cosmetic injections and fillers can also be added this way.  This is considered an improvement by most Los Angeles dark circles surgery experts, because it is easier to completely hide the scar from view. Recent advances in microsurgery techniques and equipment has made this surgery possible.  This newer surgical technique has also speeded up the recovery process for patients who undergo the treatment.  The surgery can be tricky, so you will want to make sure you go to someone who performs this skilled surgery on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most popular form of dark circles surgery in Los Angeles is laser blepharoplasty. The components of the surgery are essentially the same as traditional blepharoplasty surgery. The reason this technique works so well is that it makes use of a laser, which is capable of delivering a very precise surgical cut.  At the same time, a laser knife can cauterize the incision, which cuts down on the amount of blood loss during surgery. It is good for the surgeon, because it allows them to see the incision better. It is great for the patient, because it reduces the amount of pain, swelling, and discomfort that can go along with more traditional surgical techniques.</p>
<p>All of these Los Angeles dark circles surgery techniques will require a period of recovery.  That time can range from 2-3 days with laser surgery, to as much as a week for more traditional techniques. This will be something to discuss with your Physician. You will also help to guarantee the results of your surgery by following all post operative instructions given to you on the day of surgery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Dr. Simon Ourian of Epione Beverly Hills investigates the most popular dermal fillers available on the market today.</p></blockquote>
<p>Dr. Simon Ourian, a newly minted member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS), is the Medical Director of Epione Medical Corporation and a substantial part of his daily practice is treating fine lines and wrinkles.  Dr. Ourian is a Black Diamond provider of <a href="http://www.epione.com/botox"  title="botox treatments in los angeles"  rel="external">BOTOX</a>® (given only to the top 1% of Allergan, Inc.  BOTOX® accounts) and one of the busiest <a href="http://www.epione.com/radiesse-injections"  title="radiesse los angeles"  rel="external">Radiesse</a>® and Juvéderm® injectors in the country. This experience gives him a unique insight to the pros and cons of the dermal fillers available on the market today.<br />
<span id="more-2606"></span><br />
For the uninitiated, Radiesse®, Juvéderm® and <a href="http://www.epione.com/restylane-injections"  title="restylane injection cost"  rel="external">Restylane</a>®, known collectively as dermal fillers, are used to reduce signs of aging on the face. “Another basic explanation is necessary,” says Dr. Ourian. “There are two types of wrinkles: static wrinkles and dynamic wrinkles. You can see a static wrinkle when your face is at rest. They are often visible in the nasolabial folds. Dermal fillers injections can be used to correct static wrinkles.  Dynamic wrinkles occur when you use your facial muscles to smile or frown. Crow’s feet are a good example of dynamic wrinkles. For dynamic wrinkles BOTOX® injections are the treatment of choice.” </p>
<p>As we grow older wrinkles, sags and lines begin to emerge.  Many men and women want a more youthful appearance and look for ways to reduce the signs of aging that they see on their faces. Surgery is one way to address these issues. Surgery cost is generally higher than minimally invasive options, may have a long recovery time and includes the risks of general anesthesia.  Dermal filler injections offer are a minimally invasive method to reduce the signs of aging. </p>
<p> “What is the best dermal filler?” asks Dr. Ourian. “The one that’s most suitable to meeting your aesthetic goals. Every patient needs to be examined and their needs, goals and budget discussed before I can make a recommendation.  What I offer is my ten plus years of experience, it’s really a collaborative process.”  </p>
<p>Dr. Ourian offers a variety of dermal fillers for his patients.  Some of those include:</p>
<p>  • Restylane: Manufactured by Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation; Medicis claims that Restylane is the best selling dermal filler in the world. Is made from one of the structural components of skin, hyaluronic acid. It is considered a semi-permanent filler and will last six to twelve months. Typical Restylane side effects include temporary injections site reactions such as tenderness, swelling, lumps, swelling, itching, bruising and discoloration. Restylane before and after photos are available on www.epione.com. Restylane cost is a function of the number of areas treated and the extent of treatment required. </p>
<p>  • Radiesse: Formerly known as Radiance and Manufactured by Bioform Medical Inc., Radiesse is composed of calcium based microspheres suspended in a water based gel. Bioform has published clinical data to support their claim that Radiesse may last two years or more.  Radiesse is also reported to stimulate the body to produce new <a href="http://www.epione.com/collagen-filler"  title="wrinkle collagen filler"  rel="external">collagen</a>, a process called collagenesis. Typical Radiesse side effects include temporary injections site reactions such as tenderness, swelling, lumps, swelling, itching, bruising and discoloration. Radiesse before and after photos are available on www.epione.com. Radiesse cost is a function of the number of areas treated and the extent of treatment required.</p>
<p>  • Juvéderm: Manufactured by Allergan, Inc. (the makers of Botox), Juvéderm is an FDA approved hyaluronic acid filler that lasts up to a year. According to Allergan, Juvéderm is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved as being effective and safe for persons of color. Typical Juvéderm side effects include temporary injections site reactions such as tenderness, swelling, lumps, swelling, itching, bruising and discoloration. Juvéderm before and after photos are available on www.epione.com. Juvéderm cost is a function of the number of areas treated and the extent of treatment required.<br />
In the words of L.B., an Epione patient that received Radiesse injections, “The Radiesse treatment was quick and painless. It appears that the results are immediate.”  Adds patient G.G.: “Thank you!!! Great staff – (I) am really happy that Dr. Ourian is so experienced and reasonably conservative that he does not over-do the treatments- i.e. he adds a little Radiesse the next time he sees you to achieve the results he wants-Great work!! ” </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year, more Los Angeles cosmetic surgeons are being asked to do breast cancer scar tissue removal. More specifically, the scar tissue is the result of surgery done to treat breast cancer, like mastectomy or lumpectomy. Secondary surgical procedures can be done to remove scar tissue formed during previous breast cancer surgery.  In fact, there are several breast cancer scar tissue removal experts in the Los Angeles area. These highly specialized plastic surgeons devote their entire practice to scar removal techniques.<br />
<span id="more-2503"></span><br />
For some luckier patients in Los Angeles, breast cancer scar tissue removal can be accomplished with non-surgical techniques. This is where the process starts for many people.  Products like breast scar reduction creams, silicone scar sheets, and hydrogel scar sheets are used to reduce, lighten, and eliminate smaller scars. You will need to research any of these types of products, to see if you will be able to see any real results from the products. The best way to do this is to consult a cosmetic or facial plastic surgeon.<br />
Laser surgery <a href="http://www.epione.com/laser-resurfacing"  title="laser skin resurfacing before &#038; after"  rel="external">resurfacing</a> can also be used to removal scar tissue. In the Los Angeles area, this is the most frequently used breast cancer scar removal technique. Los Angeles breast cancer scar tissue removal patients have experienced great success from the technique. The technique involves eliminating scars by strategically removing small amounts of scar tissue at a time.  The Intense heat of the laser dissolves the scar tissue.  It can often take several treatments to accomplish the goal of scar removal, but the technique is very safe, and has few side effects. </p>
<p>Scar reduction surgery is another very popular Los Angeles breast cancer scar tissue removal procedure. The technique involves a true secondary surgery, so it is typically only performed on patients who have truly deep, significant scarring from their breast cancer surgery.  The physician will need to do a full initial evaluation, to set up a treatment plan, and set goals for what will be accomplished during any secondary surgery.  Often dermabrasion is used in conjunction with this type of surgery, to help eliminate scarring in areas that cannot be surgically removed.</p>
<p>For some people in Los Angeles, breast cancer scar tissue removal surgery may be the only viable option.  This tends to be especially true for darker skinned women. It is not always understood why, but darker skinned women tend to just develop more scar tissue from surgery. The issue of getting skin pigmentation correct may also come into play, when a Los Angeles breast cancer scar tissue removal expert makes an evaluation of how to remove bad scarring. The emotional effects of breast cancer surgery can be very devastating. So, you will want to seek help from a qualified surgeon.  This is your best option for eliminating scarring that can often be the result of breast cancer surgery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>“We offer this treatment on an out-patient basis at my Beverly Hills clinic. I meet with each patient and customize a treatment plan for them, injecting only the amount of <a href="http://www.epione.com/radiesse-injections"  title="radiesse los angeles"  rel="external">Radiesse</a> required. I can do a touch-up treatment later if necessary to achieve the maximum aesthetic result.”</p></blockquote>
<p>February 24, 2010–Epione Medical Corporation, under the guidance of Medical Director Simon Ourian, M.D., has been using a novel approach to make hands look younger and softer. The treatment method involves Radiesse® injections, the dermal filler used to treat facial wrinkles and folds.<br />
<span id="more-2594"></span><br />
“With Radiesse injections I can offer my patients a non-surgical option that is considered safe with a recovery that is typically quick with little downtime, if any” says Dr. Ourian. “We offer this treatment on an out-patient basis at my Beverly Hills clinic. I meet with each patient and customize a treatment plan for them, injecting only the amount of Radiesse required. I can do a touch-up treatment later if necessary to achieve the maximum aesthetic result.”</p>
<p>Radiesse (formerly known as Radiance), which has two FDA approvals, is made from calcium based microspheres suspended in a water based gel. Radiesse injections are placed in strategic areas in the hands to plump up the skin. It can fill in the spots that no longer have their natural fat deposits, and shape and contour the skin. The treatment takes only 15 minutes, and patients can be out and about almost immediately. Results are visible right after treatment. Unlike other dermal fillers, Radiesse stays soft and takes on the characteristics of the surrounding tissue. Eventually, the calcium spheres slowly break down, leaving newly generated <a href="http://www.epione.com/collagen-filler"  title="wrinkle collagen filler"  rel="external">collagen</a> behind. The manufacturers of Radiesse call this process “collagensis.”  Because of its ability to help the body produce its own natural filler, a few treatments may be all you need.</p>
<p>Finding Radiesse hand rejuvenation before and after photos is simple: go to www.Epione.com and type in “hand rejuvenation photos Radiesse.” The before and after results, especially those that deal with fillers, are very striking; bony hands become fuller, and wrinkles are smoothed out.</p>
<p>The cost of Radiesse injections treatments for hands may vary depending on the extent of the treatment required to restore a youthful look. Radiesse side effects for this treatment are generally considered fairly minor, including swelling, itching and some soreness. Fortunately, the side effects typically last for a day or two. Epione, has many different payment plans to help make patient experience a pleasant and financially viable one.</p>
<p>Dr. Ourian has considerable experience with Radiesse. “Am I the top Radiesse injector”, Dr. Ourian asks with a smile, “it’s not for me to say. But I do know from the manufacturers of Radiesse that I’m one of the busiest injectors in the country. I like to think that I have more experience with Radiesse that most doctors, even plastic surgeons, and that my results speak for themselves.”</p>
<p>Dr. Ourian’s Epione Medical Corporation, located in Beverly Hills Golden Triangle, is among the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art laser and aesthetic surgery centers. Dr. Ourian has been a pioneer for laser technology and non-invasive aesthetic procedures including <a href="http://www.epione.com/restylane-injections"  title="restylane injection cost"  rel="external">Restylane</a>®, <a href="http://www.epione.com/botox"  title="botox treatments in los angeles"  rel="external">BOTOX</a>®, Juvéderm®, Radiesse® and Hydrelle®.
