Here’s a before and after picture of our lovely receptionist Lorraine, showing her in March 2012 and November 2013.

ELOS IPL for Improved Skin Colour. At Palm Clinic, a medical grade ELOS IPL treatment by qualified medical professionals will give excellent results such as this for superficial sun-spots and pigmentation.

Pubic Area Treated with Liposculpture. The mons pubis can look over full for some women to the point that they do not feel comfortable wearing tight fitting clothing.

In about 10% of abdomen liposuction cases we treat the mons pubis as well to provide a better contour.

The pubic area can also be treated on it’s own if the abdomen is not a problem. 

Men also have the pubic area treated as large amounts of fat in this area can make the penis look smaller than it actually is.

Dr Sam Dunn is currently attending the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Sydney where he will be updated on the latest techniques in cosmetic medicine.

Dr John Barrett is to attend an international phlebology (vein) meeting in Boston next week. Dr John Barrett presented lectures to doctors and nurses from New Zealand and Australia at the New Zealand College of Appearance Medicine in Queenstown last month and spoke on liposculpture  liposculpture to various parts of the body. Palm Clinic is committed to regularly updating all staff in the latest cosmetic and vein techniques. Our doctors are frequently in demand for lectures to other aesthetic and vein practitioners in Australasia and internationally.

Palm Clinic has treated over 2500 legs with varicose veins with laser. The UK is finally catching up with advice for all hospitals in England and Wales to use laser rather than surgery for varicose veins in new guidelines by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).

These are the before and after treatment photographs of an active 36 year old man. He first noticed varicose veins aged 17, but they had become much worse in the previous five years. His symptoms were of aching and pain in both legs, but worse in his right leg and foot. There was swelling in both lower legs, ankles and feet

Following consultation and Ultrasound examination at Palm Clinic, we assessed him to be a suitable candidate for treatment with Endovenous Ablation and Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy, which he underwent.

His symptoms were markedly improved at his three month check.  All symptoms were resolved at one year, and the swelling disappeared.

The “after” photographs were taken at twelve months post treatment.

He was delighted with the results.

This 37 year old woman had a one year old baby and had long since stopped breast feeding but was bothered by her large breasts which were 14G cup size and causing lots of discomfort with back pain.

Liposuction immediately removed the back pain and by three months she was down to a 14DD and feeling much more comfortable.

Not having scars for a young woman is a huge benefit and by removing the weight off the breasts there is a resultant lift of the breasts as well.

She is thrilled with her new comfortable smaller breasts.

Liposuction prices in Auckland will vary depending on the practitioner and the method used. Typically liposuction performed under general anaesthesia is more expensive than liposuction performed under a type of anaesthetic called tumescent anaesthesia.

Despite having been a very fit man all his life he has always had lovehandles which have made wearing lower fit trousers a problem as the lovehandles spilled over the top.

Liposculpture has taken away the excess fat in this area and he is now feeling much better about himself.

Patients coming to Palm Clinic regarding their varicose veins are often concerned that they may develop a venous leg ulcer. They recall an older relative “who used to have awful legs with ulcers, and I do not want that”.
