IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 8 -- In its annual survey of patients seeking laser hair removal on HairRemovalJournal.org, The Patient's Guide® has found the share of young adults (18-29 yr olds) looking to have the procedure performed at its highest levels on record. Of the 1,541 responses in the survey, 61% were in the 18-29 age demographic, up from 43% in 2009. The share of 30-40 year olds has dropped significantly, from 36% to 24%. (see full results: http://www.hairremovaljournal.org/coststatistics.aspx)
"We've been surprised to see such steady interest from younger patients given the economy," says Patient's Guide Chairman and laser expert Eric F. Bernstein, M.D. "It appears that people in the 30-40 year old segment are the ones really doing some belt tightening these days. People are looking for lower cost beauty alternatives, and are spending more time researching what they really want, and the best place to get it."
In a similar study conducted by The Patient's Guide on Stretchmarks.org, the percentage of 18-29 year olds seeking treatment for stretch marks increased by 37% from 2009 to 2010. "This segment has greater interest in the lower-cost, non-invasive treatments such as hair removal and laser rejuvenation. They're not candidates for expensive procedures like face lifts which cater to older demographics anyway," said Dr. Bernstein. "The economy has been particularly hard for higher cost procedures which typically target older demographics. Our expectation is that as lower cost options become more popular among younger patients, this trend will expand in the older demographics as well."

Before and After Pictures and Photos of Lipo-Vibe Tickle Liposuction
A More Advanced and Safer Choice in Liposuction Technology
Lipo-Vibe Custom Acoustic Liposuction is the newest and latest advancement in liposuction. Lipo-Vibe is an FDA approved, safe and effective way to eliminate unwanted stubborn areas of fat. Although new to the U.S., this technology has been successfully used in Europe for more than 12 years.
Unlike traditional liposuction that causes trauma to the surrounding tissue, the Lipo-Vibe gentle 3-D technology contours the body for dramatic results with little or no downtime -- and all under a local anesthetic. This state of the art procedure can be used on virtually any area of the body that is resistant to diet and exercise with fantastic results. As an added benefit, the energy used to break down fat also stimulates collagen and facilitates skin tightening.

Survey: Americans Would Rather Give Up Sex Than Gain Weight
FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Aug. 12 -- In spite of facing the deepest recession since the Great Depression and record unemployment rates, many Americans would pass up a work promotion to drop 10 to 20 pounds, according to the new Nutrisystem Diet Index™ issued today by Nutrisystem, Inc.®, a leading provider of weight management programs and services. Americans would also rather give up sex than gain weight, and they'd toss their cell phones and give up watching TV to have a toned tummy, according to the new findings. The Nutrisystem Diet Index™ is a new series of national consumer surveys tracking America's diet behaviors, attitudes and trends throughout the year. Each survey has a scale that measures America's current diet and lifestyle behavior and choices.
"The fact of the matter is, America is obsessed with dieting and weight loss, but the majority of Americans aren't eating healthier or getting thinner," said Joe Redling, chairman and CEO of Nutrisystem, Inc. "We've developed the Nutrisystem Diet Index™ to better understand America's attitudes toward dieting and to start a dialogue about healthy dieting and healthy lifestyle habits and trends."
The first Nutrisystem Diet Index™ revealed that Americans place a high value on being healthy, but they abandon the idea of achieving a healthier weight and lifestyle, because they ultimately feel their goals are too difficult to attain and maintain. The American lifestyle is also a factor. Inconveniences of work, giving up favorite foods, not having the time to plan ahead, cooking for a larger family and the cost of healthy foods are cited as some of the biggest barriers.
The Nutrisystem Diet Index™ revealed that Americans are clearly showing signs of struggle. According to the Index, Americans are at the midway mark on healthy diet and lifestyle choices, scoring a 5.1 on a ten point scale – with one being an "unhealthy diet and lifestyle" and ten being a "healthy diet and lifestyle" – when asked basic questions about their eating habits, diet behaviors and lifestyle choices.
The Nutrisystem Diet Index™ showed:
Only 35 percent of Americans fall into the "healthy lifestyle" category on the Index, by making healthy food and portion choices and by exercising regularly.
30 percent of Americans fall into the "unhealthy lifestyle" category and have dieted an average of 20 times in their life, using five different diet plans
35 percent of Americans have dieted an average of six times in their life, using two different diet plans
Nearly 1/3 of Americans (29 percent) have tried dieting over the past eleven months, and more than half of Americans (51 percent) have dieted within the past two years

Additionally, nearly a third of Americans confess to being self-conscious about their bodies and the Nutrisystem Diet Index™ reveals insight into Americans' attitudes about their health, appearance and lifestyle during the height of swimsuit season.
Additional findings from the survey include:
A majority of Americans (66 percent) who say they need to lose weight to feel sexier than they currently do, think it will take an average of 23 pounds of weight loss for this to happen
More than half (52 percent) of American women would take a summer without sex over gaining 10 pounds; a quarter of American men (25 percent) said they would make the same sacrifice
More Americans would prefer to shed 10 to 20 pounds this summer (25 percent) than get promoted at work (20 percent)
Almost three out of four Americans (73 percent) are willing to give up television, their cell phones or their computers for a flat tummy this beach season
Nearly half (46 percent) of the country chose not to diet, even when they knew they needed to lose weight, because they didn't want to give up their favorite foods
Almost all dieters (93 percent) find at least one aspect of their dieting plan to be challenging; the majority said they aren't able to control cravings (71 percent) and find portion size an obstacle to their success (64 percent)
"The Nutrisystem Diet Index found that many Americans are willing to make extreme sacrifices to lose weight, but they eventually give up on their goals because they don't know how to reach them. While there is an endless amount of health information available, there are still misperceptions and confusion about becoming healthier," said Dr. Bruce Daggy, nutritional biochemist and vice president of research and development, Nutrisystem, Inc. "This research helps shed light on some of the root causes of our nation's struggle to achieve a healthy diet and lifestyle."
The Nutrisystem Diet Index™ analyzed healthy diet and lifestyle behaviors and attitudes based on a telephone survey conducted by Kelton Research on behalf of Nutrisystem, Inc. The phone survey took place between April 10 and April 21, 2010 among 1,001 adults age 18 and over.

Lipo-Vibe Tickle Liposuction at Derma Health Institute of Arizona
Lipo-Vibe Custom Acoustic Liposuction is the newest and latest advancement in liposuction. It is an FDA approved, safe and effective way to quickly eliminate unwanted areas of stubborn fat. Although new to the U.S., this technology has been successfully used in Europe since 1999.
Unlike traditional liposuction that causes trauma to the surrounding tissue, the gentle 3-D technology contours the body for dramatic results with little or no downtime. This state of the art procedure can be used on virtually any area of the body that is resistant to diet and exercise – and the results are fantastic!
Before and After Photos About Dr. Gael L. DeRouin, D.O.
How is Lipo-Vibe Different?
Unlike traditional liposuction, Lipo-Vibe gives the doctor the ability to break up the fat before-hand with laser energy.
It is unique in that it utilizes air pressure to generate acoustic sound energy. Rather than the one-dimensional vibration of ultrasound, Lipo-Vibe generates a more effective three dimensional movement. The pattern of movement enables Lipo-Vibe to operate at lower infrasonic frequencies which are much safer than the high-frequency energy generated by a regular ultrasound.
"I have used many different types of liposuction throughout the years, from conventional liposuction to the current laser and ultrasound liposuction equipment. I am impressed that this new Lipo-Vibe can really get the job done and allows me to offer my patients additional safety and less discomfort.” - Dr. Gael DeRouin. D.O.
Lipo-Vibe can more easily and safely access areas of the body that are difficult to treat with older liposuction methods. Its unique vibration pattern allows for precise body sculpting with less trauma to the surrounding skin tissue. Overall, the patient experiences less swelling, less bruising and less overall discomfort. As an added benefit, the energy used to break down fat also stimulates collagen and facilitates skin tightening during the days following the procedure.
How is Lipo-Vibe Safer?
Unlike current liposuction techniques that utilize laser or ultrasound energy, the suction tube used in Lipo-Vibe stays cool, eliminating the risk of heat injury to tissue. Lipo-Vibe includes an automatic shut off when it approaches non-fatty tissue such as skin or muscle which protects the surrounding tissue from trauma. These safety features enable Lipo-Vibe to safely and more effectively remove deep and superficial fat, resulting in higher definition sculpting.
Since you don’t have to be “put under” during the procedure, you avoid all the dangers that go along with general anesthetics.
Lipo-Vibe offers all of the benefits of current liposuction technology without the inherent risks, discomfort, and downtime.
Who is a Candidate for Liposuction?
While almost anyone can benefit from liposuction, it is most effective at removing fat from localized pockets which have been resistant to dieting or exercise. In general, the ideal patient is one who is in good health, not obese, has an active lifestyle and has pockets of fat they wish to have removed.
How is the Procedure Performed?
Lipo-Vibe is an out-patient procedure done right in the Derma Health Institute office. The patient is awake during the entire procedure.
Prior to the procedure, the fatty areas are marked and a local anesthetic is infused underneath the skin to numb the area. The physician then inserts a hollow, pen-like instrument called a cannula just beneath the skin surface and energy is passed through it to break up the fat. Once the fat is liquefied, it is then easily removed with a suction tube.
