In the never-ending quest to look younger, more and more women are approaching Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeons asking for tighter skin through facelifts. Repeated or unnaturally tight facial rejuvenation surgery can leave the patient with that severe “pulled back” look, with skin looking almost too smooth.
In truth, it is better to have a more natural facial rejuvenation procedure and combine it with
proper skincare to maintain a smooth and youthful appearance.
Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon Dr. Sam Assassa is pleased to offer Cosmofacelift, a revolutionary development in non-invasive facelift techniques that delivers amazing yet natural looking results. Never severe or “too-tight,” the Cosmofacelift is a quick procedure that requires minimal downtime and will leave you looking fresher and more rejuvenated.

How to achieve younger looking skin is one of the most sought after secrets of the beauty world – especially the Beverly Hills beauty world.
Although these skin secrets are frequently discussed and romanticized, very few people know how to achieve it. Lucky for us, the very real and achievable answer lies in the hands of Dr. Assassa at Beverly Hills Aesthetics.
Photopeel™, now offered by Dr. Assassa, is one of the most painless and non-invasive skin-rejuvenation methods that can virtually eliminate skin imperfections. Age spots, scars, large pores, wrinkles, rosacea, spiders, and even pre-cancerous skin lesions can all be eradicated with just a few simple treatments.
Photopeel™ provides all the benefits of a chemical peel but with less pain and downtime. It is a simple procedure involving applying a substance called Levulan® onto the skin, which is then activated by specific wavelengths of intense light. The targeted areas of skin absorb the light’s energy causing a cellular repair that restores a smoother, more youthful appearance to the skin. Typically, only two or three treatments are needed to achieve maximum results.

Rod Stewart had the right idea; forever young is definitely the way we would all like to be, and in Beverly Hills, looking young is a must.
Most of us however, don’t have the time for expensive anti-aging treatments and lets be honest, we can’t all have Rod’s ravishingly good looks.
Dr. Assassa has shared his wisdom on how to slow the aging process and given a variety of anti-aging tips to Preferred Consumer, an online consumer magazine.
Here’s a taste of some of the wisdom shared:
Anti-Aging Tips For Your 20s
In our 20s, skin cell renewal drops by up to 28 percent; dead skin cells are not as easily shed, and external factors are starting to have a greater impact, leaving our skin slightly duller. Below are some anti-aging tips for those in their 20s to keep their skin healthy:
• Avoid sunlight or cover-up: Up to 80 percent of aging is directly related to sun exposure. Penetrating UVA rays damage collaged fibers and elastin coils in your skin.
• Now is a good time to quit smoking: Smoking inhibits oxygen from getting to the outer layer of your skin, which causes premature aging. Additionally, the motion of smoking over a long period of time can cause fine lines around your mouth. This is not an appealing look!
• Use a daily skin care regimen: You should cleanse, moisturize and use SPF on a daily basis. It is also important to exfoliate 2-3 times a week to promote skin renewal on a regular basis.

Pharmawire is a news wire service dedicated to reporting the latest news in the pharmaceutical industry. Beverly Hills Aesthetics’ Dr. Assassa was featured on Pharmawire to lend his expert opinion to the discussion on Allergan’s Botox Cosmetic and its newest competitor Medicis’ Phase III Reloxin.
Pharmawire’s feature on Botox discussed the growth potential in the cosmetic market, despite recent economic downturns. It explained that while individuals who have never used Botox might delay initiating introductory appointments but those who are already using fillers will continue to do so.
Dr. Assassa agreed with this assessment, stating that patients are extending the time between injections, but not forgoing them entirely.
Dr. Assassa added to this by stating, “It would be nice to see the [Botox] monopoly broken up. I think it will be good for the consumer.”
Additionally, with the negative rumours surrounding Botox usage, one can help but wonder if this effects patient’s decisions to continue their treatments.
Dr. Assassa gives his opinion stating, “It’s something that’s an eye-opener, but nothing to be concerned about at this point. Botox has been around in this country since 1989. If there’s any safety issue, I think it becomes negligible. It’s a drop of water in the ocean.”
It is important to recognize that each of these products, Botox and Reloxin have their individual benefits and that the physician will choose which product is best fit for each patient, depending on their needs. While Reloxin consists of the same botulinum type A toxin used in Botox, Reloxin will be packaged differently and have differences in purification and dilution.

The latest trend in facelifts is both non-invasive and more affordable than a traditional facelift.
Unfortunately, both gravity and environmental factors take their toll on even the tightest and most youthful of faces. But thanks to Beverly Hills Aesthetics and Dr. Assassa, the facelift of the future is everything but surgical.
The CosmoFaceLift or “lunchtime facelift” is performed with no anesthesia, through a tiny puncture (much like a needle prick) in the skin.
Tiny sutures are inserted under the skin through the tiny puncture to help reshape and contour loosening skin from UNDERNEATH, rather than ABOVE as with a traditional facelift. This breakthrough procedure can smooth and tighten drooping brows, cheeks, jowls and neck.
The results are immediate and completely subtle, yet noticeable and life changing. This is the perfect non-invasive procedure for those between the ages of 35-65 who are looking for a little lift without all the scarring and recovery time. Who wants to sit at home for two weeks and deal with bruising?

Age is a fact of life. Whether we like it or not, those signs of aging are going to show on our faces in the form of skin loosening and fine lines. Conventional fillers like Botox provide a quick fix and are helpful in achieving a smoother and more youthful complexion, but what about a more natural option?
I am proud to announce that I am the first US physician, located in Beverly Hills, California to offer Plasmajuv: an innovative cosmetic “filler” that uses the body’s own plasma cells and revolutionary technology to maintain and rejuvenate skin’s youthful appearance.
The process is very simple. First, the patient provides a blood sample that we separate to capture acellular-rich plasma that is important for collagen growth. Then, in a short, ten-minute visit to Beverly Hills Aesthetics, I re-inject the plasma cells into the patients face, focusing on the pre-determined areas that need improvement. The re-injection of these cells awakens the body’s reservoir of undifferentiated stem cells, which begin to work underneath the skin’s surface to restore a sculpted and wrinkle-free appearance.
Plasmajuv results appear within three to six weeks while your skin cells grow to fill in fine lines and other age related imperfections. The natural and beautiful effects last up to two years, after which small maintenance touch-ups may be needed.
Are you ready to say goodbye to those fine lines and wrinkles? Plasmajuv offers a natural way to achieve beautiful and youthful skin, no matter what your age.
For more information on Plasmajuv, visit our web site at www.bhaesthetics.com and fill out our consultation request form or give my office a call at 866.Dr90210 (866.379.0210). We would love to discuss it with you further.

We know the type… you’re an exercise fiend. You eat right and take care of your body, and yet somehow you
cant completely firm everything up the way you’d like to. You want to get rid of cellulite but downtime is not an option and traditional liposuction surgery is not what you’re looking for.
Sound familiar?
SmartLipo might be the right aesthetic treatment for you. This virtually painless, bloodless, micro-liposuction and laser procedure is performed under local anaesthesia using a tiny laser that melts fat away! Because of laser use, small blood vessels coagulate immediately on contact, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising, and a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction surgery. There’s no scarring or need for stiches since everything is done under the skin, so you can keep your body beach-ready and scar free. Sign me up!
Dr. Assassa has refined and perfected this procedure to bring only the best results to his clients. Smart Lipo sculpts fat bulges in areas such as the stomach, love handles, thighs, bra bulges, double chin, upper-arms, and all over unsightly cellulite. This minimally invasive treatment does something that no fitness routine in the world can: melt down stubborn fat and tighten the skin permanently.
