Marina del Rey Plastic Surgeon Reaches Clinical Milestone: More Than 1,000 ThermaCool™ Thermage Facelift Treatments

LOS ANGELES - NOVEMBER 13, 2004 — Dr. Grant Stevens of Marina Plastic Surgery proudly announces that he has successfully completed more than 1,000 ThermaCool™ Thermage Facelifts, a revolutionary radio frequency skin tightening and contouring therapy.

Known for his unrivaled reputation in treating patients from the Los Angeles area and around the world with new and emerging cosmetic therapies, Dr. Stevens credits his success with the ThermaCool™ Thermage Facelift to its proven track record of delivering safe, yet highly effective results to patients demanding an alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery.

"Many of my patients who want to improve their appearance shun the idea of having surgery with weeks and weeks of recovery time before they see results," explains Dr. Stevens. "What makes the ThermaCool™ Thermage Facelift so appealing to these patients is that they can achieve excellent results without the lengthy downtime or potential risks."

Dr. Stevens' technical know-how and skillful artistry have further refined the Thermage procedure to achieve even greater and more predictable results. He applauds Thermage, the manufacturer of the ThermaCool™ Facelift, for its ongoing, hands-on approach to training physicians with the technology and using clinical insights from experts like himself to advance treatment applications.

"Using the most sophisticated treatment guidelines, we have seen enhanced cosmetic improvement to what were already excellent results," says Dr. Stevens. "The fact that I have not had any patient complications with this technology in more than 1,000 treatments is truly a testament to the safety and efficacy of the ThermaCool™ Thermage Facelift."

Even Oprah Winfrey shared her experience with this treatment, as featured via a live-demonstration on her show. Dr. Stevens' own employees jumped on the ThermaCool Thermage bandwagon and asked to be treated. All are amazed by their results.

Dr. Stevens adds that his own staff has sent in their family and friends after seeing their results, all of whom sent him thank you cards following the procedure.

"It's so gratifying to me and my staff to hear from patients who love their results and want to share their story with other patients considering the procedure," says Dr. Stevens. "We started a patient testimonial section on my practice web site where we post thank you notes and e-mails from patients, and many of my new patients comment that hearing how others felt after a cosmetic procedure was a deciding factor in their decision to undergo the procedure themselves."

"What is especially appealing to clients is the fact that there is no down-time nor anesthesia", states Stevens. "During this busy Season, clients can stop in the office for a "lift" and be out within an hour to continue shopping for the Holidays." "This treatment works well when combined with Botox and Microdermabrasion and/or Restylane and Radiesse (fillers). A rested and youthful look can be attained so easily, and is much more financially appealing than surgical options all with no recovery period".

In order to help patients across the country find a physician experienced in performing the ThermaCool Thermage Facelift, Dr. Stevens created the first independent online directory of physicians who specialize in the procedure www.ThermaCoolFacelift.com.

"The response we've had to this dedicated ThermaCool Thermage Facelift web site has been overwhelming," adds Dr. Stevens. "It proves that the ThermaCool Thermage Facelift has created a niche for itself as the preeminent non-surgical treatment of choice for patients who want to rejuvenate their lax skin and diminish their fine wrinkles safely and effectively."
