Cleveland…..All Aboard the GOODTIME III

Dr. Vanek with a passenger on the cruise

Dr. Vanek and his staff boarded the Goodtime III last night hosting

The WOMEN WHO WINE event.  We arrived in Cleveland with some

humid weather, bright sunshine and some “wacky” hats on our heads. 

We were ready for our passengers to arrive.

We presented each passenger with a Vanek Cosmeceutical bag,

various brochures enclosed and an article created by Dr. Vanek

for the Lake County News Herald announcing the MC1 or

VASER Shape that has arrived here in our office. Dr. Vanek is the 1^st in Ohio to use the MC1.

Dr. Vanek presented a “Birthday” gift to each passenger with a

birthday in the month of July.  We also had 3 great gift baskets

that we had participants fill out registration cards and put in a bag

for drawing.  One basket had a $700 value for a hair removal

package here at our office.

Dinner and deserts were served to a stunning sunset on the river.

DJ and MC for the night was Paula from the radio station Star97.

Dr. Vanek did a Q&A for the passengers whom had several great

questions to ask about cosmetic surgery (including Tummy tuck,

Latisse, Laser Skin Resurfacing, Breast Lift and Breast Reduction).

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise with the WOMEN WHO WINE.

Thank you to all that attended this event and we hope to participate

again next year.

Who Knew?!

That wistful desire, “If only they could rub something on my skin and I’d have a skinnier waist,” has been expressed by many.  That FDA approved technology is being introduced to Ohio by my practice starting this week!  Called MC1 in the US, this in-office procedure involves 5 weeks of treatment utilizing a dual-head, focused beam of ultrasound.  The device manufactured in Italy by General Project, gently heats the treated area, releasing lipid and triglycerides from the fat cells treated on the abdomen, flanks, back, chest, arms, thighs and buttocks.  Patients feel a gentle warming sensation during their one hour treatment.  Within a few days they are re-treated with a lymphatic massage in the office.  Measurements and photographs are taken before and after for comparison.  Patients can resume normal activities immediately.  We expect that a person can have their clothes fit better and their skin look smoother with each treatment.  Over a series of 5 weeks patients show improvement of localized fat and cellulite in their treatment areas.  It’s really here!

P.S. I will be enrolling the first 20 patients in a clinical trial of patient experience with post-treatment stipends for participation in follow-up studies beginning next week. Call if interested to see if you are a candidate.    

Haverford Magazine Spring 2010 issue recently interviewed Dr. Vanek about his trip to Haiti and the reliefe efforts there.
