James E. Pickens, M.D. Discusses Latest Non-Invasive Procedures - October 9, 2008 Highlights from Dr. Pickens' interview on Studio 5, KSL TV Click here to see the video. (mp4)
1. In recent years there has been a transition from traditional Plastic Surgery to non-surgical procedures (non-invasive) showing a 400% increase over surgical aesthetic treatments. My practice is oriented toward these non-invasive procedures.
2. Mesotherapy is a medical application technique of applying 1/400th of a dose that an individual patient can take internally to an external region such as the abdomen or back to correct a problem such as an uncosmetic deposition of fat. Mesotherapy has been used in France for more than 50 years for control of pain in certain patients. For the past 4-5 years, we have been applying the mesotherapy technique in our practice for non-surgical procedures to diminish fatty areas and for hair re-growth.
3. The hair re-growth technique works best in patients with thinning hair and/or male pattern baldness.
4. Mesotherapy has to be networked into our programs using other methods. Other methods such as HCG weight loss. Multiple application of mesotherapy combined with other modalities are required to obtain the desired result. This is a relatively new adaptation of old techniques. Mesotherapy, along with other procedures, can be very helpful in achieving a natural result.
5. Results from invasive surgery may be too dramatic and may look unnatural. This is why we have created a network of smaller, less invasive treatments such as using mesotherapy techniques to diminish fatty areas and increase hair growth.
6. Success of the mesotherapy technique depends on penetration of product. We have worked with a Salt lake City Company to utilize their ultrasound, oscillation and non-surgical contouring machine to achieve the effect desired without needles or invasive procedures like surgery.
7. As a plastic surgeon I have performed numerous surgical hair transplant surgeries to restore hair growth. It was successful and still is. Now medical technology has developed procedures, such as mesotherapy, that are noninvasive procedures which produce wonderful results. Primarily used for male pattern baldness and/or thinning hair for men and women. It requires in-office treatments and at home application of the product. (More info)
