There's a longer-lasting alternative to Botox called GFX. It's a radiofrequency treatment that erases frown lines for at least a year with one treatment. Dr. Kotlus was interviewed by the national publication, Cosmetic Surgery Times to discuss the groundbreaking technology that is raising eyebrows. Read about it here.

GFX smoothes out the lines that form between the eyebrows, and it gives lift to the brow at the same time. Patients look less tired and more refreshed after the treatment. Dr. Kotlus is the first and only physician in Michigan who has expertise in GFX.

Isolaz is a new photopneumatic treatment

Allure is thrilled to be one of the few practices in Michigan that offers this laser treatment.

Allure recently held an informational event at a local hotspot. The Allure Spring Seminar was a big hit with all who attended! Thermage and facial cosmetic surgery were discussed and everyone left with smiles on their faces. Dr. Kotlus described facial aging signs (with some celebrity examples) and possible surgical enhancements to turn back the clock. Dr. Mok explained the incredible nonsurgical results that are possible with Thermage, and a free treatment was given away to a lucky winner. Next time we'll have to find a bigger room, as every seat was filled!

Laser-assisted liposuction is the latest generation of procedures designed to reduce isolated areas of fat that don't go away with diet and exercise. Allure was the first to use the 1320 nm laser (CoolTouch) in Michigan. The CoolTouch company that manufactures this dynamic laser has featured the phenomenal results acheived by Drs. Mok and Kotlus on their website, which can be seen by clicking here.

The CoolLipo laser has a higher attaction to water than other lasers being used for laser liposuction, making it more effective at melting fat cells. This laser has also been used in other cosmetic procedures such as hair removal, skin tightening, and vein removal.

The Allure Medical Spa presence at the International Women's Show this weekend was a huge success. Our staff enjoyed meeting hundreds and hundreds of women who attended the event.

Laser neck liposuction, body fat and cellulite reduction, eyelid lifts, and GFX were the most popular inquiries. Interest was also high for Thermage, and we look forward to seeing a record turnout for the Thermage seminar on May 21st based on the response at the Women's Show.

We all had a blast, and we can't wait to return next year!
