Dr. TED Testimonial!

Normally we share these amazing testimonials on our Facebook page, but we wanted to be able to share everything that this patient told us without having to worry about how many characters we entered!! So, here for your enjoyment is another amazing Dr. TED testimonial! "Dr. Caruth had been telling me about this diet for a couple of years, but I was skeptical. Then more pounds came on and I turned 50-that's when I said ENOUGH! I lost 18 pounds in the 40 days and feel so much better! My joints, my waist line, my attitude and my confidence all feel much better! The diet wasn't that hard once you get the hang of it and now that I'm done I just want to keep eating healthy-it's great! By the way, if you're more strict than I was, you will definitely lose more weight!" D. S. of Frisco Before After

The 6 Snacks You Should Eat Everyday!

Its something we've been programmed to believe...if you barely eat a thing, you will lose weight and all will be right with the world. This may be true in the extreme long run, but in general, NOT eating is what hurts you the most. I know how hard it is as a woman to think that eating more is actually better for you. But the more you graze on "good foods", the bigger the favor you'll be doing for yourself! David Zinczenko from Men's Health puts it best in his article, "The 6 Snacks You Should Eat Everyday", and if you're looking to make a difference, then I suggest you read it!

As parents, none of us want to see our child being bullied. Its hard to watch your child cry over harsh things that children seem to never have a problem saying.

Will Looking Younger Help You Get a Job?

Older generations competing with the younger generation to either keep their job, or get a new one? Didn't it used to be the other way around?! Didn't it used to be that if you were young, you had to compete with your elders who were more experienced? In this day and age, however, with youth constantly obsessed over, it seems that the "experienced" would rather look less so in order to maintain or achieve positions in the workforce!

Move over blond bombshell, Allure finds a changing face of beauty over the past 20 years

We found a great article on ABC News about the evolution of the American definition of beauty.From the article:There isn't the blond bombshell mold that everyone has to fit in to be considered attractive.You can be old or young, dark skinned or light, slim or voluptuous.Models ARE younger, thinner and prettier than the every woman because they're models.What's interesting is the underlying social commentary that while the value people place on being beautiful has increased ... there is a wider range.People are more interested in improving on their own assets instead of mimicking what models do.There's also an emphasis on a "natural look," even if that takes time to achieve. The biggest trend in the industry is anti-aging skin care. Now it's synonymous with health.Use of sunscreens with higher SPFs — so much so that people use it as part of their daily routine.Dr. Jeffrey Caruth of Plano Aesthetics provides fat transfer procedures to follow along with the more natural look. Women who prefer not to have implants, now have a natural alternative to achieving a one or two bra cup-size increase. During the Natural Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer, Dr. Caruth takes fat from one or two areas of the body using Body Jet water assisted liposuction. This technique produces far superior fat than any other method, including traditional liposuction. It also gently sculpts the body, leaving patients with an amazing new shape.Additionally, Dr. Caruth uses patients' own fat from their abdomen, thighs or buttocks, and injects it into areas where the aging process has caused general loss of volume: in the "hollowed-out" areas around the eyes and cheeks; back of the hands; nasolabial folds; and in the brow area. Fat Transfer creates a natural, youthful look. Additionally, since their own fat is used, the end results are long-lasting to permanent.Learn more.

Introducing Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment at Plano Aesthetics

PRP is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. Since it is a concentrated source of several different growth factors It stimulates healing. PRP therapy is a purely natural process using the body's own healing factors. Using a special centrifuge machine the patient's blood is spun down to separate out and concentrate the platelets and growth factors that are essential for tissue healing. This small amount of fluid with concentrated platelets and growth factors is called platelet rich plasma (PRP). Nothing else is added to the patient's own blood products so there is no risk of allergy, reaction or rejection. PRP is a great adjunct to the Fractionated CO2 treatment. 972-985-8080

Face and eyelid lifts popular with baby boomers

We found a great article on Reuters.com about baby boomers who are eager to fight the onslaught of time are resorting to facelifts, eyelid surgery, Botox and fillers.Main points from the article:The baby boomers are getting older but they still feel young and they want to look that way too.Now, the new trend is to do three-dimensional lifting, putting volume with fat fillers or implants. If you can do it safely and naturally there are a lot of people out there interested in maintaining their youthful appearance.Today in cosmetic surgery there is a big push to restoring volume and doing things more naturally... it is not just pulling the skin tighter.Rather than the taut pulled back look of earlier facelifts, facelifts have evolved with smaller incisions and less pulling to alleviate the loss of fat volume and elasticity that occurs with age.The trend is to be less invasive but to still get a big bang for your buck and to try to make you look like you used to, not to make you look like somebody different.Fat can be transplanted. It is rich in stem cells and that is what is missing from an aging face.Dr. Caruth of Plano Aesthetics provides the "Lunch Time Lift" which is done by harvesting fat from one area of the body and re-injecting it to add volume and restore a youthful appearance to the face.This procedure is termed "Lunch Time Lift" because the patient is awake during procedure, it only takes one hour and there is minimal downtime.Learn more.972-985-8080
