Norfolk,VA (PRWEB) June 2, 2006 -- Prominent Emergency physician Dana Cale, M.D. of Virginia Beach is expanding her medical business to Norfolk in order to include a new line of skin-care products and anti-aging treatments developed by physicians to eliminate the need for intrusive and time-consuming cosmetic surgery.

“During my training in both medical school and residency, I was very interested in the pathology of skin diseases, as well as the various treatments available. I saw many patients using treatments that were costly and had dangerous side-effects.” Her patients would tell her they wanted a safe cosmetic procedure to help halt the negative effects of aging skin. "That prompted me to look into it," says Dr. Cale.

In selecting what was best for her patients, Dr. Cale acted as her own guinea pig.

"I was looking for products that are safe, quick and effective so I tried out a variety of skin-care products and new technology," says Dr. Cale.

Dr. Cale did her homework, attending several conferences by Empire Medical Training and Core Dimension Training, both accredited by the American Board of Reconstructive & Plastic Surgery and the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery. Dr. Cale also has completed on-site training with physicians who are experts in the field. All products used are medical grade, an important factor, says Dr. Cale, to assure efficacy and safety first.

In 2003 among 6.9 million cosmetic procedures performed in the USA, 5.2 million were non-invasive procedures according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. All equipment used at Mahalo Professional MedSpa is the most advanced laser technology on the market, and, is approved by the FDA for hair removal and facial and skin rejuvenation. All treatments are safe for all skin types - light, dark and even tanned skin.

Mahalo Professional MedSpa now offers corrective facial and skin rejuvenation, as well as laser hair removal for both men and women. Mahalo Professional MedSpa has recently purchased the latest in laser technology, the “Prolite II". This revolutionary system can reduce the appearance of unwanted lesions, like sun spots or age spots, spider veins, cafe au lait marks and the effects of rosacea. The Mediostar XT is a state-of-the-art laser that enables 75-95% permanent reduction of unwanted hair anywhere on the body.

Under the supervision of physician specialists, our certified laser technician and physician assistant can perform non invasive laser procedures, including removal of unwanted hair, veins, stretch marks, sun spots, and wrinkles with a variety of leading lasers. Specific lasers are used based on the medical condition being treated. In addition to improving the appearance of your skin, incorporating non invasive lasers and injectables, Dr. Cale also specializes in safe, quick, and effective weight loss techniques.

Mesotherapy is a new safe, non-surgical, 30-minute technique for spot weight reduction, and for instant cellulite elimination. Also, used for face and neck rejuvenation, and hair regrowth. Mesotherapy was pioneered in the 1950s by French physician Michel Pistor. Currently, more than 15,000 physicians practice mesotherapy in France and other countries. In contrast to the invasive and costly liposuction procedure, Mesotherapy involves a series of minute injections of specific medications into the skin. It is less expensive than liposuction and with no down time. The injections need to be repeated every week for a series of treatments. There is no postoperative pain or extensive bruising. At Mahalo Professional MedSpa, Mesotherapy has been used with great success to help patients with a myriad of complaints including a reduction in fat in various areas, such as a double-chin, saddle bags, love handles and under-eye bags. Few contra-indications exist for mesotherapy including sensitivity to the ingredients.

Botox cosmetic, a well known and FDA-approved treatment for moderate to severe wrinkling between the eyebrows is also offered. Dr. Cale and her entire staff attended a Botox Cosmetic certified training course. Besides treating facial cosmetic patients, she is certified in Botox for migraine, as well as for hyperhydrosis or excessive sweating in both the underarm and palms of the hands.

Restylane, an exciting new collagen-like filler, is also available. This is a great treatment for those stubborn, deeper wrinkles around the mouth and nose. “It can create the fuller, more luscious lips you have always wanted,” states Dr. Cale.

Mahalo Professional MedSpa offers the BelleDerm and Obagi cosmeceutical line of skin care products, a complete line of physician-strength products formulated to compliment aesthetic treatments for maximum results. In addition, our cosmetologist is certified in advanced techniques in permanent cosmetics. All patients receive free consultations with a staff member.

Early evening hours are available for your convenience. Free consultations are available. Insurance does not cover the cost of these procedures. Payment is requested at the time of service. More information is available by calling for an appointment with Dr. Cale at 757-248-SKIN
