What is the NEW Liposuction procedure in town? It’s the BODY-JET Liposuction and Eterna, MD in Lake Mary now offers it. With the gentle flow of water you can naturally transform your shape without the brute force of standard liposuction.

WHAT IS WATER-JET ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION?

This revolutionary alternative to traditional liposuction is gentle, fast and very effective. Using a pulsating spray of fluid, BODY-JET dislodges fat from connective tissues and simultaneously removes it resulting in minimal bruising and tissue trauma while still achieving fantastic results. The procedure is minimally invasive and ensures the patient has a more rapid recovery than those using traditional lipo procedures.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The BODY-JET device aids the doctor in loosening fat with the pulsating spray. The fluids introduced into the body are removed just as quickly as they enter. Because less fluid is in the patient, there is low discomfort and a faster, more accurate procedure is possible.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

The procedure can sculpt your shape with very little discomfort and downtime. It can be performed under local anesthesia and patients can be back to work in just days. There is very minimal bruising with this gentle method.

IS THE PROCEDURE PERMANENT?

Any fat cells removed from the body with the BODY-JET procedure will not grow back. If there is any weight gain post-procedure, however, the weight would be distributed elsewhere on the body.

WHAT AREA CAN BE TREATED?

The most frequently treated areas are the abdominal region, hips, thighs, knees, arms, and beneath the chin but almost any area of the boy with excessive fat can be treated.

IS BODY-JET RIGHT FOR ME?

Ideally, a BODY-JET candidate would be in good health and not more than 25 pounds over weight. Patients with localized, exercise resistant fat deposits will obtain the best results. If you interested in learning more about if this procedure is right for you, call Eterna MD and schedule a consultation with Dr. Mercado at 407-771-0404.

 WANT TO LEARN EVEN MORE?

Eterna, MD in Lake Mary, FL will be holding a BODY-JET Seminar on Saturday April 24, 2010 at 10:30-12 noon to educate anyone interested in learning more about this amazing new procedure. CLICK HERE to register for this event!

The timing’s just right! Efective treatment of Dysport requires 1 injection into each of 5 points between the eyebrows. Although office visit times may vary, the procedure generally takes about 10 to 20 minutes. The doctor will determine the exact placement of each injection to get results that are right for you.After your Dysport treatment there is little to no downtime, and you can go about your day as usual! To maintain your improvements, you should discuss a treatment schedule with the doctor. As with any botulinum toxin product, you should wait at least 90 days between treatments.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs due to the overproduction of oil by the oil glads of the skin. The oil that normally lubricates the skin gets trapped in blocked oil ducts and result in what we know as pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads on the surface of skin. Sometimes it also includes deeper skin lesions that are called cysts.*Pimples are small swellings that sometimes contain pus.*Blackheads are dark formations on the skin due to an accumulated mixture of oil and cells in a blocked skin pore.*Whiteheads are small flash-or-white colored bumps due to skin pore blockage.*Cysts are closed sacs beneath the skin or deeper that contain fluid or semisolid substances.The areas of the skin that are most subceptable to acne are those areas that contain the largest number of oil glands. For example, it is estimated that there are 2,000 oil glands per square inch on the forehead alone. The face, chest, shoulders, and back are the areas with the highest population of oil glands.Acne commonly occurs in people between their teenage years and their 20s. However, it is not restricted to this age. Older adults and children can also have acne.If you would like more information on acne we have a seminar coming up thursday, March 4th. Please contact EternaMD, 407-771-0404.

You will be evaluated by one of our doctors: history + comprehensive physical exam + calculation of your BMI and percentage of body fat + EKG + blood tests + supplementation to avoid the cravings and nourish your body. This is a medical supervised program.

many misconceptions about weight loss programs. A lot of advertisements withou scientific data. Bottom line is that DIETS don’t work: THEY DO AT THE BEGINNING but then patients are not able to adhere to them. EXERCISE: exercise is good for muscle growth(weights), cardiovascualr sysmte, central nervous system, mood and sleep. Unfortunately EXERCISE is not good to lose fat, unless you restric your caloric intake. People need MEDICAL HELP and EXPERTISE at the begining to help them lose their weight and also to mantain it. Our EUROPEAN weight loss program, we replaced the essentials in the diet so the brain is kind of distracted from eating too much. Patients are evlauted initially by one of our physicians, blood tests, Electrocardiogram. Then once they are elegible for the program then they start their program. Their energy improve and tehn slowly they start doing exercise and eating right. Patients are seeing weekly under a medical supervised medical program.

Iwas treating a 67 y/o female patient for a sesion that includes: Radiesse to enhance her cheeks and smiling lines as well as marionette lines followed by a DOT Laser. After I did her LEFT side of her face, I did show her the side that hasn’t been treated and she was just amazed about the immediate rejuvenating results. She said something to me that put me to think.. she said ” this is just unbelievable that coming here and have a treatment done in less than 10 minutes and have my face redone in a natural way” she said that 15 years/ago that was almost impossible unless you are under the knife and under anhestesia.The reality is that with the new advancements in thecnology, perhaps surgery will be a thing of the past. There is a place for surgery of course! but patients are requesting the following: no downtime or if any has to be minimal, immediate results and few risk for complications.On her case after I did her face with the fillers then I proceed for a DOT laser to help eliminate her wrinkles on her cheeks and crow’s feet and eliminate the age spots. All that done within 20 minutes!! with a few days of recovery ( 5 to 7 days maximum).The result is VOLUME to her face and COLLAGEN formation and LIFTING of her face and elimination of wrinkles with the DOT!Again, things have changed!

People wonder what can I do to reverse my signs of aging. As we age we lose VOLUME on our face as well as development of FACIAL LINES. With the present difficult economy, many patients are postponing surgery. Instead they want a quick, affordable solution to immediately meet their needs and look younger. At ETERNAMD, we have developed a protocol, my staff called the  ” REAL STIMULUS PACKAGE”, since the patients meet their need and is affordable. So what is the REAL STIMULUS PACKAGE?. Lets make an example:Mary who is 35 years of age, came complaining of FACIAL LINES on her forehead and crow’s feet, and DEEP SMILING LINES as well as dry skin and “skin looking dirty” menaing accumulation of skin cells. I desinged the “REAL STIMULUS PACKAGE for her as follow:1- MICROLASER RESURFACING LASER 10 microns: It will clean the skin, get rid of dead cells. It is like having 15 to 20 microdermabrasions at once. She can go to work the same day. Some redness for 48 hours which is good since it is stimulating circulation and oxygenation.2-RADIESSE: Using advanced European technique. The Radiesse is mixture with lidocaine. The patient will have minimal discomfor or no pain at all. We used a 1.3 ml syringe to fill in the smiling lines. She will see the results immediately, before leaving the office.3- ENZYMATIC PEEL in 2 weeks to remove the excess debrided skin after her microlaser peel.TIME for the patient: THE RADIESSE and the MICROLASER PEEL will be done at the same sesion. Duration 30 to 45 minutes.Know you want to know how much it cost- PRICE: 1000 dollars-If you want to know more, please call for a formal confidential consultation at ETERNAMD at 407-771-0404.ThanksDR CARLOS MERCADO, MD

Acne most of the time runs in families. 25% of patients have a chance to develop scars. There are several options for acne scars: fillers, microdermabrasion, resurfacing laser such as the SCITON as well as the DOT Laser.It is important to keep the acne under control so patients have less chance to develop scars. Actually that might be the first objective!. Some patients mainly women develop for the first time in their life acne, usually after the age of 30. This might be a representation some times of an endocrine problem especially if it is accompanied by other symptoms.Let’s review some of the options to keep acne under control: BLU- U light that kills the p. acne ( bacteria related to acne)- Aminolevulinic acid which is another option. Results might be similar to accutane. Aminolevulinic acid is a liquid that comes in a stick and is applied by the physician and then is followed by the BLU-U Light. Several peels might be used as well, such as the salicilic acid peel.Once the patient scars then they can be filled by fillers in combination with the SCITON or the DOT Laser. With the DOT laser we use the “stacking technique”, the laser is directed to the target ( scar). The downtime might vary from 3 to 7 days.More information about acne click below or call 407-771-0404.http://www.eternamd.com/acne-and-scar-removal.php

It is important for patients to know the differences on the type of lasers when chosing to have laser hair removal done. Many people in florida have a dark complexity. Skin type 4 and 5 are dark according to the skin clasification. Make sure the patient is aware what type of laser will be used. Also make sure the LASER HAIR REMOVAL is done by a PHYSICIAN, not a tecnician. At ETERNAMD, all treatments are done by physicians. That is a big difference, since hair overgrowth might be a manifestation of an endocrine problem. Just the other day, while doing a consultation for hair removal in a patient who had done 2 treatments at another medspa run by technicians. This is what happened: I noticed hair overgrowth around her face, acne and central obesity ( obesity around the waist) as well as irregularities on her menstrual cycles. I suspected an endocrine problem: PCOS ( Polyscistic Ovarian Syndrome). Evidently after the tests were done the diagnosis was confirmed. Part of the syndrome is “INSULIN RESISTANCE” and ELEVATION in blood sugar. She was prediabetic and she was only 28. She was treated and now she has been saved from the devastating complications of diabetes. And she jsut came for “laser hair removal”!!The above example illustrates the importance to have a proper evaluation done by CLINICIANS. At ETERNAMD, all procedures including laser hair removal are done by physicians. and according to the law of the state of florida ( once a laser is ignitated the physician needs to be present: BILL 699, FLORIDA STATUE) and there is always a physician on site. Also our laser is equipped to treat all skin types: black, hispanics, indian, asian and all types.Any questions about laser hair removal click :http://www.eternamd.com/laser-hair-removal.php  or go to www.eternamd.comor call 407-771-0404.
