Axillary
Hyperhydrosis
(Excessive underarm
perspiration)
A new treatment with dual blend
laser (SlimLipo™)
Axillary
hyperhydrosis is caused by the sympathetic nervous
system sending signals to the underarm sweat glands to
keep producing sweat, which leaves people excessively
sweaty. Outside of the use of antiperspirants and
various drugs, the only effective treatment has been the
use of Botox injections which are expensive
($1000 or more per treatment) and must be repeated every
six months. Palomar Medical introduced laser lipolysis
with the SlimLipo platform almost three years
ago and Dr. Lewis Obi was one of the first providers of
this new technology. While presenting at an advanced
symposium on March 12 in Dallas, Dr. Obi learned of the
newest application of SlimLipo in the area of axillary
hyperhydrosis. Since the sweat glands reside in
fatty tissue, ablation of these fat cells also reduces
the ability of the sweat glands to function. This
treatment may be provided under local anesthesia during
a lunch hour break with no down time. Results
appear to be more permanent than Botox treatments and at
a cost of under $2000.

UPDATE
ON AUTOGOLOUS FAT TRANSFER WITH LIPOKIT
(Adivive™)
Palomar
Medical has just renamed their Fat Processing Unit as Adivive™ instead of Lipokit. To avoid confusion on
our website, we will continue to use both names.
As we previously announced, the Obi
Plastic Surgery Clinic was the first facility in the
United States to receive an FDA approved system which
has been used to treat more than a dozen patients.
This system concentrates stem cells in adult fat
to provide a cleaner and longer lasting natural filler
for the face, breasts, and other areas of the body.
The new non invasive technique of facial
rejuvenation "3D Spacelift" included Adivive™ fat transfer and/or SlimLipo™ neck tightening.
These procedures are performed without general
anesthesia and most patients may return to work in 5 to
7 days.

Breast
Augmentation and Slimlipo™
Combinations
Reduced
Fees
During the spring and
summer months these procedures are performed with up to
a 20% reduction in our usual fees. If performed
together (eg: breast augmentation with Slimlipo™ of the
abdomen and/or thighs) then there is an additional
savings with the bonus of synergistic body sculpting
result. Moderate degrees of breast sag may also be
treated with laser tightening by the Slimlipo™ laser.
In fact, Dr. Obi was the first plastic surgeon to
present this Slimlipo™ application in breast surgery.
Fees for this combination procedures may be as low
as $7000, whereas separately the cost would be in excess
of $8500. Call today for more information and
booking a consultation.
