Changes Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa offers everything from world class skin care products to laser rejuvenation, fillers, high tech plastic surgical procedures, massages and facials.
Let’s face it, in today’s competitive world who doesn’t want to look their best. Living in Southern California we are outdoors, active, and constantly socially interactive. So, we always want to look our best. Isn’t everybody a little addicted to beauty?
Maintenance of a vital and vigorous appearance is achieved by a few simple steps according to Dr. Gilbert lee, M.D. board certified plastic surgeon and owner of Changes Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa. "First you need to have excellent skin care. This is something most people overlook. They use lousy soap, no toner, and poor moisturizers and wonder why their skin looks old with no luster." Proper skin care requires a great cleanser, an appropriate toner for your skin type, sun screen, night time moisturizer or bleaching cream, and eye cream.
Second , you need to maintain proper volume or "fill" of the skin with fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra, or Evolence. These fillers counter the constant fat resorption occurring in the face as a result of aging.
Third, you need to use Botox to prevent the dynamic action of the furrowing muscles from causing permanent wrinkles around the eyes and forehead.
Fourth, you need to occasionally have laser resurfacing (Fraxel or FX Lasers) and Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatments to remove the sun damage, shrink wrap the skin, and eliminate the signs of aging.
Lastly, well timed surgical procedures such as eyelid lifts, face and neck lifts allow for removal of the excess skin and raising of sagging tissues back to their proper position.
Addicted to beauty, or just concerned with our looks? It is just a matter of perspective. One person’s maintenance is another person’s addiction to beauty.
'Addicted to Beauty' was the center of Oxygen Network’s series in August & September, 2009 featuring Changes Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa, Southern California’s Hottest Plastic Surgery Practice:
New York, NY - June 17, 2009 - Oxygen Media injects fun into Tuesday nights with the premiere of "Addicted to Beauty." In this new reality workplace dramedy, Oxygen pulls back the curtain on the tantalizing world of medi-spas as seen through the eyes of the larger than life staff at one of the country's hottest beauty enhancement facilities, Changes Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa. The first of eight one-hour episodes debuts at a special time Tuesday, August 4 at 11pm ET/PT, with remaining episodes airing in its regular timeslot, Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT beginning Tuesday, August 11.
"Addicted to Beauty" follows the outrageous staff at Changes Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa, located in Southern California. Dianne York-Goldman, socialite and marketing expert, has brought her over-the-top employees from her previous spa to help with this new venture with well-known plastic surgeon Dr. Gilbert Lee. The staff includes: Gary, the flamboyant and outspoken receptionist; Ronnie, the eccentric concierge; Natasha, Dianne's levelheaded assistant and Shannyn, the whip cracking spa manager. However, this group may be no match for Melanie (aka, "Mel"), Dr. Lee's no nonsense office manager who is not afraid of giving out tough love.
The workplace antics get out of control when the staff must learn to work together for the common good of the business. As the pressure increases to get the spa up and running, personalities clash and chaos ensues. Natasha has to pick up Gary's front desk slack, Ronnie is completely averse to having Shannyn as his boss and Mel becomes fed up with the incompetency of Dianne's staff. Overall, it's going to be a bumpy ride to success!
