Dr. Petti’s ‘Evening of Beauty’

Posted on May 11, 2012 in Events

Patient Testimonal

Dr. Petti is very “hands-on” and it is clear that she wants to do an excellent job. I think she expects the same from her staff, i.e. she has high standards. I will absolutely recommend Dr. Petti to others! I think the Smart Lipo is a great procedure but you want a doctor who is an artist as well, Dr. Petti is both.

P.S. She is also the first doctor I have ever seen who says “Hi”/acknowledges the patients in the waiting area.”

Cellulaze™ Patient Testimonial

Dear Dr. Petti,

Thank you so much for being the wonderful, caring doctor, surgeon, and woman that you are. I feel privileged to be part of your Cellulaze™ study and to take part in “The Doctors” experience. If took me awhile to build the nerve for me to watch the show – but I’m really impressed by how tastefully it was done. But the best part of the experience was spending the day with you. I hope you find a way to successfully balance all the demands in your life and get to that “zen” state of mind. And when you find the answer, let me know!

Lots of Love,

M – Los Angeles – Cellulaze™ Patient

Economical Facial Rejuvenation With Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Dr. Christine Petti

Los Angeles, CA — With the wide range of cosmetic treatments and products on the market designed to enhance and tighten skin on the face, choosing a plan that is targeted for one’s individual needs without breaking the bank can often be a challenge. Dr. Christine Petti, a plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, recommends several procedures that can offer economical solutions to loose, tired-looking skin and facial lines with minimal to no downtime.

At her Los Angeles plastic surgery practice, Dr. Petti has proposed a facial rejuvenation plan combining cosmetic procedures to provide effective results in the treatment of aging skin on the face. Dr. Petti says selecting the right nonsurgical enhancements for each patient’s personal aesthetic goals can save money and reduce downtime and risks associated with surgical procedures.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the total number of minimally invasive procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic dwarfs the number of surgical enhancements performed by approximately 10 million, based on statistics from 2010. While the study shows both surgical and nonsurgical aesthetic enhancements are on the rise, Dr. Petti says more patients at her practice are taking advantage of the minimal recovery time and high-quality results associated with procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or laser skin resurfacing in Los Angeles.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of non-invasive procedures at her practice, Dr. Petti says she helps patients create a personalized treatment plan that targets specific areas of a patient’s face to correct signs of aging and restore youthful vibrancy to skin. By combining certain procedures with the skill and experience of a board-certified plastic surgeon, she adds that patients can cut down on the cost of aesthetic treatment as well as the downtime from work and normal activities.

For her Los Angeles facial rejuvenation patients, Dr. Petti says she recommends dermal fillers such as Sculptra® Cosmetic, a facial volume enhancement for restoring youthful contour; Juvederm®, an injectable gel for smoothing skin and facial lines; and Restylane®, a filler designed to add fullness to lips. She says patients can also opt for laser skin resurfacing procedures like Laser Genesis, Smartskin® Laser Skin Rejuvenation, and Portrait® Plasma Skin Resurfacing, all targeted to treat damaged skin and reveal a fresh, younger-looking complexion.

Regardless of whether patients are looking for a combination of non-invasive facial enhancements or a more dramatic change in their appearance from surgery, Dr. Petti says she urges all potential patients to consult with a qualified and dedicated plastic surgeon before undergoing any procedure. She also says through the hands of a skilled and passionate surgeon, patients can experience the benefits of confidence and youth that can be available from cosmetic procedures.

Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Discusses Cellulaze on The Doctors

Dr. Christine Petti has announced she will be appearing on the CBS network television show The Doctors to discuss Cellulaze®, an innovative minimally-invasive treatment for cellulite reduction recently approved by the FDA. Having played an integral role in the clinical trials for Cellulaze, Dr. Petti and her center for plastic surgery in Los Angeles recently began offering the procedure as an effective way to reduce the appearance of cellulite and smooth skin.

The Doctors, a CBS network television show offering medical advice to its viewers, will be airing a new episode featuring Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Christine Petti on an advanced procedure targeted to eliminate or reduce the appearance of cellulite. Developed by Cynosure, the treatment is called Cellulaze® and was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a minimally-invasive, laser-assisted therapy for cellulite reduction that increases the elasticity, thickness, and smoothness of skin. Dr. Petti, who served as one of five surgeons in the country involved in the clinical trials of Cellulaze, will be demonstrating how the procedure works and revealing the results of one of her patients who recently underwent treatment.

Cellulaze is performed by inserting a tiny laser fiber beneath the skin in order to heat and disrupt herniated pockets of fat and release fibrous bands that dimple skin. The treatment also assists in the stimulation of collagen to increase the depth and tone of skin for a smoother look. Dr. Petti says the entire procedure takes approximately one to one and a half hours and results should be visible within a few weeks, although full skin tightening and cellulite reduction may continue developing over the following months. She also says added benefits of the Cellulaze therapy are the quick recovery and minimal bruising that occur after treatment. “Cellulaze is an effective and one-of-a-kind answer to a woman’s battle against cellulite. As the old adage goes, men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Women are anatomically different: the architecture of the skin, fat and fibrous bands are different in women. Cellulaze is the only treatment that targets this special anatomy so the anatomy of cellulite can be changed, therefore creating a smoother skin surface.”

After having had the opportunity to observe the benefits of the unique cellulite treatment in Los Angeles for some time, Dr. Petti says she is confident in the results and hopes to share her findings with viewers of the CBS show. She adds that she is excited about the chance to introduce more patients to the effective procedure and help patients achieve a confident, healthy body. “’The Doctors’ TV program is the perfect health education platform for me to provide women with a veritable source of information on a dreadful and depressing problem-cellulite-that plagues women of all ages, body and skin types. ‘The Doctors’ is always at the forefront of credible health-related information, and it is a privilege for me to have this forum to relay vital information to women about this revolutionary Cellulaze treatment for cellulite.”

Smartlipo Patient Testimonial

Dr. Petti is very warm and personable. She can relate to the patient on a personal level since she’s been there and can understand what we are going through. I am only two weeks post surgery and I can already tell a difference. I can’t wait for the final results to show through. Dr. Petti and the office staff were lovely and very understanding and supportive. It was a good experience.
