Thank You!
Dr. Adams

As a current or future patient of The Adams Center contemplating a cosmetic procedure, I'm sure that you are concerned about the current state of the economy, as it impacts your personal and professional life.

Given the temporary downturn of today's economy, I realize that patients will continue to price shop for surgical and non-surgical services. The Adams Center's years of experience, and ability to provide quality care under my direct supervision sets us apart from other physicians and spas.

Since I began practicing plastic surgery in 1979, I have dedicated my practice to providing patients with the most positive surgical experience possible. I am especially fortunate to be able to offer patients the privacy, luxury, and safety of having their surgical procedures performed in our state of the art, AAAASF certified, surgicenter in our Peabody location.

My highly qualified operating and recovery room staff, board certified anesthesiologists and dedicated office staff all support our main focus - you, the patient. This devoted team works together to provide the high quality total patient care that my patients expect, and develop individual treatment plans for patients, while helping them investigate the surgical and non- surgical options available.

This total patient care principle even manifests itself in our fee structure. Our surgical fees are all inclusive - we don't have separate anesthesia and facility charges, and in many cases our non-surgical procedure pricing is based on a package of procedures, often including the skin care products required for aftercare. Additionally, all procedures performed at The Adams Center, and all products sold here have been selected by me - if I don't feel that something works, you won't find it at The Adams Center.

I realize that you have many choices available when choosing a plastic surgeon. Please take the time to ask these important questions . . .

Non-Surgical Cellulite Reduction with VelaShape
spacer
New Woman

Did you know that 80% of women have cellulite?

VelaShape (featured on shows such as Rachael Ray, and Dr. Phil) is the first and only FDA approved, non-surgical alternative for cellulite and thigh circumference reduction.

VelaShape combines bi-polar radiofrequency (RF), and infrared light energy, with vacuum and mechanical massage to reduce the volume and appearance of cellulite on your thighs, buttocks, love handles and abdomen. The precise heating used by VelaShape ensures a fast, safe, and effective treatment with no downtime, and minimum discomfort. A specially designed massage system smoothes out the skin to help heat energy delivery, resulting in increased metabolism of stored energy, and reduction of the actual fat cells and fat chambers.

In a clinical multi-center study, patients reported an average reduction in the size of their thighs of between ½ an inch and 3 inches. Most patients see a gradual smoothing of the skin’s surface, a reduction in cellulite, and a reshaping of the treated area in about four treatments. This enables you to quickly, comfortably, and safely achieve a toned, and contoured body in about 4 treatments.

Evolence – An Improved Collagen Filler

Brunette Woman 30's

Evolence® Collagen Filler is one of the newest dermal wrinkle fillers to hit the market.

Approved in June 2008, Evolence is a sterile, biodegradable injectable collagen filler that essentially works the same way other collagen fillers do – by replacing your body’s lost collagen with new collagen. As we age, our bodies naturally lose collagen, since 70% – 80% of the skin’s dermis is made of collagen, this affects the skin’s elasticity, and fullness. Collagen loss contributes to the creation of wrinkles around our nose, mouth, and other areas, significantly contributing to how old we look.

Some of my patients who’ve tried Evolence have asked a great question; “Other collagen fillers exist, so what’s the big deal with Evolence?” There are several differences, but the big change with Evolence is the length that the product lasts, and continues to do away with wrinkles for at least six months (other collagen fillers only last for 3 – 6 months). Additionally, results are immediate and natural-looking, Evolence causes minimal-to-no swelling or bruising, and doesn’t require a skin pre-test, and results are usually seen in just one visit.

The advanced collagen in Evolence mimics the structure of your skin’s collagen, allowing it to better work with existing collagen than some other products. Evolence Collagen will help add structure, strength, and volume to your skin for a natural look and feel that lasts.

While Evolence is new in the U.S., it’s been used extensively in Canada, Europe, and Israel for several years.

Clarisonic Pro

Clarisonic Pro

The Clarisonic Pro cleanses the skin using gentle, effective sonic vibrations. It uses a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to clean, soften and smooth your skin in just 60 seconds a day.

Cleansing the skin is the first step in any skin care routine, but it’s often overlooked. Dirt and oil may become trapped in your pores, and manual cleansing may not be enough. The Clarisonic micro-massage action cleans more than twice as effectively, and removes makeup up to six times more effectively as a manual cleansing.

Clarisonic also helps to reduce pore size, improve skin tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We also recommend the Clarison system to help improve the absorption of serums and moisturizers.

The Clarisonic Pro is excellent for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin, acne and rosacea, so it’s great for the whole family.
