We had a fantastic time on our Patient Appreciation Day! All of us loved the opportunity to speak with so many of our patients during the event. The videos presented by Dr. Gregg, Dr. Wu, Nena, Andrea, Melissa, and Jennifer are available on our YouTube Channel if you missed them that day. Click here to see all the event day presentations. We were pleased to award prizes to many of our patients who participated in the day – congratulations to all the winners!

Dr. Wu attended The Aesthetic Meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons in Miami, April 29 – May 3. At the meeting, Dr. Wu was co-moderator with Dr. Foad Nahai for the scientific paper presentations on surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Additionally, she was co-moderator of a panel entitled “Understanding Personalities and Communication” as part of the Practice Management Session.

Dr. Wu is an active member of the Society and has a solid commitment to Continuing Medical Education. The meeting is the forum to learn new procedures and techniques and the opportunity to share information with peers. Dr. Wu attended sessions on new methods in breast augmentation, mastopexy, breast reconstruction, body contouring, and facial injections.

“Going to The Aesthetic Meeting is a chance to share techniques and ideas with fellow surgeons around the country. I believe that we all become better surgeons when we have the opportunity to learn from each other.” – Dr. Wu

May is Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness Month, which is the perfect time to remind others of the damage caused by exposure to UVA and UVB rays from the sun. The main risk factor for developing skin cancers is sun damage. Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma are the most common forms of skin cancer. Although Melanoma accounts for only 1% of skin cancers, it is the most deadly. Fortunately, when diagnosed early, Melanoma has a 99% survival rate at five years from diagnosis.

To protect your skin from developing skin cancer, ALWAYS wear sunblock – sunny days and cloudy days! Our practice recommends physical sunblocks rather than chemical sunscreens for the best protection. Physical sunblocks work by staying on top of the skin to deflect and scatter damaging UV rays away from the skin while chemical sunscreens absorb and scatter the UV rays.

We are excited to introduce QWO™, the first and only FDA-approved injectable that treats cellulite in the buttocks of adult women! This revolutionary treatment gives us the ability to reduce buttock cellulite with a proven, long-lasting, effective injectable product. Our CANS Nurse Injectors and Physicians are experienced in the use of QWO™ and are seeing excellent results. QWO™ generally requires only two treatment sessions, 21 days apart, with no significant downtime. The primary side effect is some bruising at the injection site. Call our office to schedule a consultation to see if you are a candidate for this exciting new treatment before bathing suit time is here!

“Dr. Wu is phenomenal! She takes the time to get to know your objectives and takes you through the process in a caring and professional manner. It is rare in my experience to find a doctor that is extremely competent- warm/empathetic- and genuinely invested in your satisfaction with an outcome. Dr. Wu is one of the few- she exceeded my objectives. The entire team of professionals at the office are remarkable!” – A. O.
