National MS Society and Dr. Vanek

Dr. Vanek biked his way 75 miles to Sandusky this weekend to support the MS Pedal to the Point Ride. The ride started on Saturday August 13, and bikers made their way to Sandusky arriving around 6pm that evening.  Starting off the next morning at 7am they biked 75 miles in heavy downpours of rain to arrive safely back to their starting point.  

Dr. Vanek’s friend Ron Cola who has accompanied him on past rides for MS is a pancreatic cancer survivor and Dr. Vanek rides on his behalf. Dr, Vanek encourages everyone to support this worthwhile event and even if they can’t bike, donations are greatly appreciated.

It is the determination and dedication of our riders and their fundraising donations that makes Bike MS such an extraordinary event.

Although the ride has come to an end, you can still make a difference by continuing to collect contributions.  Any additional contributions can be sent to: National MS Society, ATTN: Bike MS, 6155 Rockside Road, Suite 202, Independence, OH 44131. Donations may still be collected through November 30, 2011

Dr. Vanek recently spent the day at Channel 3 WKYC studios in downtown Cleveland. He was taping his segment for the Saturday morning show “ It’s About You” featuring Dr. Vanek’s  private skin care line Vanek Cosmeceuticals. 

Dr. Vanek spoke about a few of our products including Amino-Lift Peptide a unique combination of advanced amino acids and plant-derived neuropeptides help to minimize the look of facial expressions lines and wrinkles, especially crow’s feet, forehead lines and lines around the mouth. (has a botox like effect). 

He spoke also about our Face Firming Complex: This concentrated firming complex supplements the skin-rebuilding ability with DMAE, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Co-Enzyme Q-10 and vitamin C EEster as well as other essential antioxidants and botanicals to firm tighten and lift the skin of the face and neck. Reduces wrinkles and fine lines on the face, eye and neck area.

 Thirdly was Botanical Bio-Peptide Concentrate which is a triple action concentrate of non-irritating emollient ingredients and high-tech botanicals which work together to produce both an immediate moisturizing effect as well as long-term benefits. This product features 3% Matrixyl, the amino peptide that moisturizes and conditions in a novel skin-friendly manner. Another great feature about this product is that clinical testing showed a 68% reduction of deep surface wrinkles over a two-month period. 

Lastly Dr. Vanek spoke about our sun protection Phyto Protect SFP25. This Micronized titanium dioxide provides a broad-spectrum transparent barrier against UVA/UVB rays.  A unique phyto-complex improves the appearance of fine lines while minimizing the short-term negative effects of harmful UV rays.

Thank you WKYC, Andrea and Joe and all the staff especially Kim and Chanel for making my experience terrific.

Innovation for Perspiration 

Although it is difficult to discern in the summer heat wave, excessive sweating of the axilla (underarm) region can be embarrassing and very inconvenient.  The newest methods for treatment are available in my office.  A unique phenomenon of Botox use is that it works to shut down the expression and release of the apocrine gland secretions (sweat) within days of injection into the hair bearing region of the axilla.  It usually lasts 6 or more months and takes effect in about 5 days. Very popular before summer weddings!  A more permanent treatment involves a minor surgical procedure and the use of Vaser Liposelection.  Two small incisions in the armpit region and the passage of the Vaser probe under the skin allows for selective disruption of the apocrine glands with ultrasound energy.  You can shower the next day and resume normal activities in a week.  The long term results are excellent.  Why not eliminate the constant focus on wardrobe selection?

PS  Vaser treatment of the underarms will not cause any sensation loss.

VASER Liposuction Thighs

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow Have you always wanted slimmer thighs when you go to the beach or a family gathering?  When you cross your legs are you self-conscious about the bulge where your thighs meet the chair? I will dramatically improve these and other contour problems of your thighs with Vaser liposuction!  Realistically, you can have surgery this summer and enjoy your new contours and wardrobe this season.  You will need to wear a compression garment to work and bed for a few weeks after surgery.  However, seven days after Vaser, most people can enjoy their deck, the pool, and their recreation with comfort and a better contour right away.  Your thighs will have 50% of the improved results by two weeks after surgery.  If cellulite is your main concern then a series of non-surgical, in-office treatments with Vaser Shape are for you!  This will improve the texture and appearance of cellulite.  You have heard about my results on the radio. 

PS Call my office today as we are having a summer special on these treatments!

Erie Gynecomastia – Paul Vanek MD

Any Reason At All 

Now that it is official ‘take your shirt off season” for lawn mowing, deck relaxation or driving with the top down, many men palpably feel the anxiety associated with their gynecomastia condition.  The basis for this condition includes exogenous hormone supplementation, familial predisposition, age and hormone related development, and occasionally due to drug side effects.  Surgery is the way to reverse all of those changes.  Vaser liposelection is the most selective modality to liquefy the fatty breast tissue and reduce the size of the anatomic region.  The skin is stimulated to “shrink wrap” around the smaller chest  because the ultrasound energy also works to tighten the skin envelope.  Some patients have fibrous breast tissue directly under the nipple that does not respond to ultrasound, and this needs to be removed with a small incision at the same time.  This will be reviewed at the time of your consultation with me.
