ASI's Signature Services

At ASI, we are continually searching for the safest and most effective surgical and non-surgical procedures and treatments that will ensure maximal results with minimal downtime. Whether for facial and skin rejuvenation, body sculpting, laser treatments, therapeutic skin care, or health and vitamin products, we believe that our services offer comparable and even improved results with greater safety over older treatments--and our patients are better able to continue their daily activities while recuperating--because they have less swelling, discomfort and bruising.

Cool Touch Cool Lipo Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most highly requested cosmetic surgical procedures, but standard large cannula liposuction is associated with significant post-operative pain, swelling, bruising, and lost work time. Everyone who has an interest in liposuction should therefore be aware of laser-assisted liposuction, or laser lipolysis, for treatment and sculpting of stubborn fat deposits in areas such as chin and jowls, upper arms, bra bulge, abdomen, love handles, saddlebags, and inner thighs. The COOL LIPO laser fiber, less than half a millimeter in diameter, is gently passed through fat deposits and dissolves them into an oily liquid. A suction cannula, also less than a millimeter in diameter, is then used to remove this liquid. COOL LIPO also can be used to tighten skin, which does not occur in standard liposuction. COOL LIPO can be done in an office setting under local anesthesia and a light sedative, rather than in an operating room under deep anesthesia. COOL LIPO patients are able to go home, rest for a day or two, and then resume daily activities.

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing — Encore UltraPulse
CO2 laser skin resurfacing is accepted as the gold standard for skin rejuvenation, lines, and abnormal pigmentation. An idea whose time has finally come, the handpiece that delivers the laser light distributes the energy so that not all of the skin is treated at one time. Untreated skin heals the treated skin much faster, so post-treatment redness is greatly reduced over standard laser resurfacing. Depending upon the pre-treatment condition of the skin, one to four treatments may be recommended.

Weekend Face Lift
It is now known that a special layer of tissue under the skin is responsible for the sliding and sagging of the skin over it, in areas such as the forehead and brows, crow's feet, and skin around the mouth and jowl areas and neck. Using small hidden incisions, and lifting and tightening this tissue layer, Dr. Rhodes is able to rejuvenate the facial features and remove and reposition excess skin. Less surgery is required, so pain and healing time are greatly reduced. This procedure may be performed in an office operatory setting under local anesthesia with a light sedative, rather than in an operating room under deep anesthesia. Weekend Face Lift patients generally resume daily activities in a few days.
