Beauty
Tips
Perfect
Brow
The perfect brow can take years off your face just
by framing your eyes in the right way. A simple arch placed
correctly will give the illusion of an instant eye lift.
Come to the spa for a brow shaping. This time well spent.
Step 1. Arch design: Wax or tweeze to clean up unwanted
hairs.
Step 2. Fine Tuning: Trim and comb brows.
Step 3. Definition-the brows are shaped with brow pencil
and/or powder
Can’t make to the spa-we now have a brow kit to go
with easy to follow instructions. www.intelligentskinsense.com

“Non-invasive Facial Rejuvenation:
Demystifying Botox, Radiesse, and HA Fillers”
Monday, November 9, 2009
Join
a conversation with Dr. Kim about “Non-invasive Facial
Rejuvenation: Demystifying Botox, Radiesse, and HA Fillers”
There are a plethora of injectable facial products on the
market today and it may be overwhelming to choose which
product(s) is right for you. Dr. Kim will explain the facial
aging process from a plastic surgeon’s perspective
and “demystify” the indications, mechanisms
and duration of action of Botox® Cosmetic, hyaluronic
acid fillers (i.e. Restylane, Juverderm), and Radiesse (a
calcium microsphere facial filler). These three categories
of products, when used correctly after an expert facial
analysis, can sculpt your face, plump your lips and provide
temporary relief from signs of aging including worry lines,
and facial volume loss. Dr. Kim will simplify your choices
and present an algorithm for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
About Dr.Betty Kim
Dr. Betty Kim attended the University of Washington
for her undergraduate studies with a major in biological
sciences. She then moved to attend the Ivy League's University
of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and graduated Alpha Omega
Alpha. She realized her passion for plastic surgery early
in medical school, drawn to the field's creativity and the
opportunity to positively impact a patient's quality of
life. Many patients were healthy and wanted to make a change
or had just started and/or won a battle with cancer and
desired reconstruction. Upon graduation, she was accepted
to the University of Pennsylvania's highly competitive,
integrated plastic surgery program. This program combines
all relevant surgical training that a plastic surgeon must
acquire- general and plastic- under one umbrella. Her residency
involved extensive training in the latest techniques in
breast and skin cancer reconstruction, pediatric plastic
surgery, and the most efficacious and up-to-date techniques
in cosmetic plastic surgery. She has published in plastic
surgery textbooks and journals and her work on lower lid
blepharoplasty (excess eyelid skin and fat removal), free
flap breast reconstruction, and lower extremity reconstruction
has been presented at national and international meetings.
Dr. Kim recently opened her office in Trumbull, CT and is
affiliated with Norwalk Hospital, Bridgeport Hospital, St.
Vincent's Medical Center, and Yale- New Haven Hospital.
She and her husband live in Fairfield, CT.
