Visia – Our Computer Looking Glass

Everywhere we turn, it seems as though another new beauty product or treatment emerges and touts itself as the newest anti-aging miracle. The question: Is it marketing hype or do they really work? Well, maybe. As Los Angeles plastic surgeon and Spa Bella Medical Spa Director Christine Petti, M.D. explains, “The real secret is knowing how to select the right things for your specific skin type. And not just what you see on the surface – when it comes to skin damage, what you see isn’t always what you get.”

But thanks to a breakthrough technology found in the computerized Visia Complexion Analysis System, it is now possible to capture images of skin surfaces and assess issues like sun damage that are invisible to the naked eye. The results aren’t always pretty, but they are telling of how the skin will eventually show the signs of aging. The good news is early intervention can often reverse many of these undesirable characteristics. Using the results of your Visia screening, Dr. Petti’s licensed medical aestheticians can custom tailor a skin care regimen for your specific skin and help you achieve the glowing skin you desire just in time for summer.

For a limited time, we are offering a Complimentary Visia Skin Care Analysis ($50 value) and 10% off any facial (includes micropeel & microdermabrasion). Call today to arrange your appointment as this special will only be available through August 31, 2010. (310) 539-5888

(you will receive a print out of the computerized images from your screening along with treatment recommendations)

Dr. Christine Petti Featured in “Hollywood Life” Blog

As a trusted Los Angeles plastic surgeon, the media often turns to our own Dr. Christine Petti for insight into the latest plastic surgery trends and topics. Most recently, the blog “Hollywood Life” sought her opinion regarding whether mother-daughter plastic surgery was normal or not. As Dr. Petti explains, “From a plastic surgeon’s standpoint, a mother-daughter experience is normal. People do this all the time. I haven’t had anyone come in saying it was going to be a bonding thing, but it’s common for a mother to have facial plastic surgery and then a daughter come in afterward for a nose job.”
