It’s called Opal and it’s brand-new to Knoxville from the makers of Clarisonic.
Here are some before and after photos of the results from the Clarisonic Opal. If you are not quite ready for eyelid surgery or Pearl Fractional Laser, the Clarisonic Opal is a great place to start.
Below: You can really see the results from the Clarisonic Opal after just one treatment.

New! Insecure about having your "high beams" on?
Then it's time to put on a pair of DIMRS. These feather-light silicone nipple covers are completely invisible under any type of clothing, so they're perfect for form fitting tops, bathing suits, anything strapless, sports bras - or no bra at all. So lightweight, you'll forget you're wearing them - until you pass by a mirror and notice your bump-free bust line. DIMRS are designed to adhere naturally without painful adhesive.
You just moisten your DIMRS with a drop or two of water and place them horizontally across the nipple. Your body heat will activate DIMR's high quality hypoallergenic silicone to create a long lasting bond. And DIMRS bounce back into shape after each use - so they'll last for years. $32

Introducing Latisse- "Longer, Thicker, Darker Eyelashes," For Real
This is one of the most exciting beauty advances to come to Knoxville since... well since, Botox. The company that brought us Botox and the wonderful filler, Juvederm, has just received FDA approval for a product that actually makes eyelashes grow “longer, thicker and darker.” Available only through physicians, Latisse is a once-daily prescription treatment applied to the base of the upper eyelashes with a sterile, single-use-per-eye disposable applicator. Latisse users can expect to experience longer, fuller and darker eyelashes in as little as eight weeks, with full results in 16 weeks. Below are photos taken during the clinical trial. They are unretouched and taken without mascara.
*Our office staff is conducting our own eyelash study and will happily show you the results. It's been about sixteen weeks since we have started using Latisse, and our patience has been rewarded. Check out our eyelashes next time you come into the office We are really enjoying being Guinea Pigs. Buy Latisse at our office after your brief office consultation with Dr. Reath. Special Introductory Price $120
Our office frequently receives letters and emails from our patients. This is one from a very special patient who lost her eyelashes during chemotherapy for breast cancer.
"I first heard about Latisse while undergoing reconstruction after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had completed my chemotherapy and was completely without either upper or lower eyelashes. After using Latisse for only 3 1/2 weeks, my lashes had already grown enough to use a little mascara! I've been using Latisse for a little more than two months now and my eyelashes are as long and thick as they were before the chemotherapy. This is really a great product!"
The Doctor is in.
We have never had a skin care product that inspires as much passion from our patients and staff as Results Rx Eye Doctor. And Elle Magazine agrees. Eye Doctor just won their Green Star Award 2008 for Best Eye Cream.
One of our most discriminating patients started using Results Rx Eye Doctor. She told us the very next day that she had "used every eye product out there including La Mer and she had never seen anything like the immediate results with Eye Doctor". Another patient said her competitive twin sister literally stole her Eye Doctor because she was "looking too much younger". We have lots of funny stories about Eye Doctor, but the day we ran out of it right before Christmas was not at all pretty. You would have thought it was the latest Nintendo game.
So what exactly is Eye Doctor? It is a liquid crystal eye serum that plumps damaged, thinning skin around the eyes. The ultimate combination of AGP Complex (retinol) and cococin growth factors stimulate collagen and elastin formation to reduce the appearance of fine lines. The addition of copper complex provides potent strengthening power for the delicate eye tissue.
Like other Results Rx products, with Eye Doctor less is more. The tiniest, smallest amount you can pump is what you use, and one bottle should last you at least six months. Results Rx Eye Doctor $125
Did you know? When you put a drop of Eye Doctor on your finger you can actually see it double in size, which is how it plumps the skin around the eyes. Ask us for a demonstration.
Clarisonic Professional Skin Care Brush is Oprah's Favorite* and Our Favorite too!
When Results Rx recommended the Clarisonic Pro to us for use with their products we were a bit skeptical. Perhaps it was just the thought of adding an extra step to our skin care regimen but we were initailly hesitant to try it. Would it be worth the time and the expense of the product? Could we really see a difference since we are already using the best skin care products available?
After using the Clarisonic at home and on our patients in the office, we are true believers now! It's not just that it sets a new standard in cleansing the skin, it is the ablility to use the Clarisonic Pro with active ingredients to take them to a new level of effectiveness. Finally we can provide an easy way for our patients to physically infuse active topical products deep into the skin at home. It gives us an effective new weapon in fighting difficult skin care conditions like hyperpigmentation and acne.
*Clarisonic Pro Skin Care Brush is on the list of Oprah's Favorites. She called it "a miracle massage for your face."
How Does it Work?
The Clarisonic sonic technology oscillates back and forth at 300 movements per second, working deep within the pores to gently loosen dirt and oil. Clarisonic removes six times more makeup than traditional facial cleansing. It also helps reduce oily areas, dry skin patches, blemishes and the appearance of visible pores.
The Clarisonic Professional is only available through physicians. It has three adjustable power levels to treat each individual skin care type. Thorough but gentle cleansing is so important for the skin of people suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea and acne. Clarisonic Professional is has settings to treat sensitive skin, including skin affected by complicated conditions, yet can be adjusted for skin care veterans looking for a power boost.

Below: Here is the difference Clarisonic Pro makes removing makeup. Oprah commented on how well it removes the heavy makeup she has to wear on screen.
In a split forehead randomized study, equal amounts of fluorescent makeup were placed on the forehead of each subject. The level of glowing makeup is indicative of dirty skin (less glowing means cleaner skin). *Scroll to the bottom of this page to see more about the Fluorescent Makeup Method Study.
A sonic boost
for all of your cosmetics
Clarisonic Pro cleans your skin so effectively that it actually prepares the skin to better absorb skin care products, and it creates the perfect canvas for makeup. Finally, your serums and moisturizers have the chance to work the way they should, and your makeup goes on smooth and even.
Oh so clean,
but so, so gentle
Not all skin is created equal. We all have our problem areas — from dry patches to blemishes, from pre-mature wrinkles to sensitive skin. We were worried that the Clarisonic Pro might not be suitable for our patients with the most sensitive skin. Not so. Our patients with sensitive skin found that the Clarisonic Pro actually helped soothe the skin, rather than irritate it.
Not just for girls
In a recent study, the majority of men reported a closer shave when the Clarisonic Pro was used to apply their shaving lubricant. Guys are hard to buy for and what could be cooler than using a power tool in the bathroom!
Clarisonic Professional Skin Care Brush $195 Available in the original white and now PINK with a portion of the proceeds going to breast cancer research.
Some of the best ideas for taking care of our patients come from other patients. One of our liposuction patients told us about the Spanx Slim Cognito line. She said it is the perfect thing to wear while recovering from surgery. And boy was she right! Now we carry it in our store for all of our patients.
We had been searching for just the right compression garment for years because patients must wear them for several weeks after body contouring surgery. But really...who wants to wear bulky garments under clothes when you are excitied about new changes in your figure?
The Spanx Slim Cognito line we brought in is not like their "power panties" which you find in most department stores. Slim Cognito garments are seamless and have the maximum compression available to provide the extra support our surgical patients need. Actually they look so slimming under clothes that our nonsurgical patients are buying them left and right.
We are carrying all four Spanx Slim Cognito products in nude and black. The bodysuit is unique because you attach it to your own bra. It is available as a regular bodysuit and a mid-thigh bodysuit. In addition we have a seamless control panty and a mid thigh shaper.
Did you know? Compression garments tend to give your backside a flat uni-butt look. to avoid that look Spanx designed their line to be much more flattering. You won't feel the subtle butt shaper, but the natural look won't be lost on those in your wake!
Spanx Bodysuit $58 (pictured right), Spanx Mid-thigh Bodysuit $68 (pictured above), Spanx Control Panty $42 and SpanxMid-thigh Shaper $58 (not-pictured)
*More about the Clarisonic Makeup study In a split forehead randomized study, equal amounts of fluorescent makeup were placed on the forehead of each subject. Photographs of the forehead were then taken using a digital camera with a flash. An Aesthetician then cleansed half of the forehead with the and the other half by hand. Both sides of the forehead were then rinsed with equal amounts of water and left to air dry. After drying, the subject’s forehead was again photographed.

Introducing Societe Clinical Skincare!
(Be sure to read the interview with beauty pioneer Denise Brynes, Société’s Product Development Manager, in our first edition of Your Beauty!)
Société Clinical Skincare is our innovative new line of skincare products and peels. It comes to us from the geniuses behind BioMedic and Results Rx. We are really excited to be the first in Tennessee to carry it!
What makes it different is this: Société’s product line was built from the ground-up by working with actual patients in a live, clinical setting. And it really shows.
The regimen is extremely straightforward and devoid of any unnecessary steps. Yet, the line contains prescription-strength active ingredients and that's why it is available only under the supervision of a physician. Many patients with sensitive skin who have not been able to tolerate other skincare lines are happily using the gentler Société products.
One of Société’s core company priorities is environmental awareness and it is obvious that they have given this a lot of thought. When you read the labels you see ingredients you can actually recognize like plant souces, fruit acids and vitamins. By using the simplest packaging available and not having expensive, intricate outer cartons, they are able to be kinder to the environment and your pocketbook!
Even their labels are innovative with the steps marked and the active ingredients clearly identified. It seems so obvious, it's a wonder no one has thought of this before. See below:
