Micro currents

Postby terri » Thu Mar 13, 2008 8:04 pm

Hello Dr. Lam,

I have not noticed this question being addressed previously, so forgive me if this is redundant. I have recently become aware of a procedure (new to me) that involves using wands emitting a micro current for tightenng the skin and muscles. The photo results look pretty good. It looks like it would be complimentary to other procedures, as well. I have even seen a home version of the product.

Is this similiar to any procedures that you perform? I would appreciate your comments, pro or con.

Thanks Dr. Lam,

How many treatments are typically needed for results, and does one need to have regular follow ups to maintain. Also, what are typical treatment costs for the Accent XL treatments.

Thanks again, Terri

6 treatments at 600 dollars each. you get the last treatment free. usually maintenance would be required only with further aging down the road.

Thanks for your time and great web site. Also I wanted to mention that I saw your segment on the local Austin news a few weeks ago and thought it was well done on your part...and your beautiful patients.
