The economy may be in a slump, but the aesthetic surgery industry is getting a boost from the current economic climate.
MarketWatch.com, part of The Wall Street Journal’s empire, published an article detailing current trends in cosmetic and aesthetic surgery as determined by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. While traditional cosmetic procedures such as breast implants and liposuction saw dramatic decreases, services like Botox and Smart Lipo saw rapid increases in the number of services performed.
As patients opt for less-expensive aesthetic procedures, non-invasive cosmetic surgeons like Dr. Sam Assassa of Beverly Hills Aesthetics are sure to see a continued rise in demand for their services.
“In the current economy, of course people are going to opt for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures,” said Dr. Assassa. “They are less expensive, and a great alternative when downtime is not an option – people simply can’t leave work for weeks at a time to recover from traditional cosmetic surgery.”

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.

Welcome to the Beverly Hills Beauty Blog. This is the grand opening of our online community dedicated to sharing and comparing the latest views and news on non-surgical aesthetics and minimally invasive cosmetic services.
As a non-surgical specialist and one of the most highly regarded Beverly Hills liposuction and facelift-related physicians, I am dedicated to improving consumer awareness about the benefits of non-invasive aesthetic services and alternatives in cosmetic surgery. The Beverly Hills Beauty Blog will bring you information on the latest trends and treatments in non-surgical cosmetic options.
My philosophy is to give my clients the personalized attention they deserve and the latest non-surgical options available to give them the opportunity to look and feel their very best with minimal downtime. Since 1995, I have been exclusively practicing aesthetic medicine in Beverly Hills, California, and was one of the first specialists on the West Coast to introduce the “smart lipo” procedure, as well as the first aesthetic surgeon in the USA to introduce the One Hour Scarless Facelift, or “Cosmolift”. At Beverly Hills Aesthetics, we specialize in services such as Smart Lipo, EZ Lipo and Lipo Raze (which is cut above Lipo Zap or LipoZap). We believe in an integrated and a comprehensive approach to rejuvenate and restore symmetry of the face and body, and create overall harmony without major discrepancies. In addition, we offer the very latest proven techniques to get rid of fat that won’t respond to exercise and dietary change.
As President and Founder of the American Association of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery www.theaaams.com, I have been training doctors and nurses from across the United States on the latest methods in non-surgical aesthetics. I believe that aesthetic surgery requires an instinctive, artistic skill and three-dimensional vision. My artistic talents are expressed through outstanding results of restoring the face and body contour creating balance and beauty. I look forward to sharing the latest in beauty news and treatments with you.
I encourage you to subscribe to the Beverly Hills Beauty Blog. Each week my editorial staff will feature an article sharing some of the views and thoughts we feel are important to the cosmetic surgery and aesthetic beauty industry.
