The Undisclosed Truth on Laser Hair Removal

Dr. Russell Kridel was consulted by Amanda Koehler for Healthy Aging and AdvancedWeb.com this week on his expertise with laser hair removal:

“To clear the body of unwanted hair, women have used just about everything: razors, hot wax and even chemical depilatories.

All of these solutions, while successful, need to be repeated to get results. Now, many medical spas and physicians offices are promising more permanent hair reduction with laser treatment. Providing a more long-standing solution, laser hair removal comes with some caveats, nonetheless.”

Amanda Koehler spoke with Houston Plastic Surgeon Dr. Kridel to learn more about laser hair removal, including costs and what to expect from a procedure that promises to rid the body of unsightly hair.

Saks Fifth Ave Cocktail Reception with the Face Foundation

Saks Fifth Avenue, Houston Texas

On Thursday, April 8th Saks Fifth Avenue hosted a coctail reception to raise awareness for the Face Foundation.  Delicious lite bites were graciously donated by HauteBox Meals.   

The Face Foundation was founded in 1995 by Houston Facial Plastic Surgeon, Russell W.H. Kridel, MD, FACS to help victims of domestic abuse.

Injuries can be severe and are a daily reminder of living in violent situation. The Face Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of men, women or children who are wearing physical scars of abuse. Victims of domestic abuse are provided with free reconstructive plastic surgery of the head, face and neck.

Coctail reception for the Face Foundation

The Face Foundation provides needed surgery to previous victims of abuse who are sponsored by these organizations:  The National Coalition for Domestic Violence, The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the Face to Face Program.

The Face Foundation strives to obtain hospitals, nurses and anesthesiologists to donate their time, expertise, rooms and care needed for surgery. Yet, donations are always welcome to fund the costs of recovery, prescription drugs and printed educational material concerning reconstructive surgery and domestic violence that are not always cost-free.

Potential surgical patients who want to move forward with
