Thomas Weight Management Institute

The Thomas Weight Management Institute has been developed to provide weight loss assistance for any individual. Current programs focus on individual weight loss, but the Thomas Weight Management Institute will go beyond the individual to also provide loss assistance for children and families. We believe that weight loss and on-going weight management is more successful when participated in by the entire family unit. Our program advocates that individuals and families can re-train themselves to live an on-going healthy and successful lifestyle. A key tenet of our program is to make an impact in individual lives to provide better health and personal satisfaction. It’s time to feel better.

We have designed a team approach to weight loss. Our team will consist first of a physician to examine, evaluate, and prescribe the individualized weight loss program. A psychologist trained in eating disorders will be available for thought restructuring. An exercise and diet trainer will be available to assist in the individualized program development and on-going encouragement and accountability. A dietician will be available for dietary counseling of individuals that have special medical needs and illnesses. A healthy cooking chef will be available for education and teaching of healthy food preparation.

COSMETIC PROCEDURES
Dr. Thomas and his staff offer many non-surgical cosmetic-enhancing procedures to help reduce and alleviate the effects of the aging process. These services will provide you with the more youthful and relaxed appearance you’ve always wanted. The treatments offered include BOTOX, Juvéderm, Restylane, Sclerotherapy, and collagen injections.

Botox
One of the most common and renowned of cosmetic procedures, and the only treatment of its kind approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), BOTOX is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered way of reducing the deepest and most persistent of lines around the eyes, forehead, and between the brow. The procedure can be done in as little as 10 minutes and only requires a few tiny injections directly into the overactive muscles that cause unwanted lines to form. Results of the treatment can be seen within a few days and last up to four months, although they may vary among individuals. All men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 are eligible for BOTOX, and more and more men are beginning to seek this procedure as a way to alleviate pronounced lines between their brows. The treatment itself involves only minimal discomfort, which persists for a few seconds at most, and can be alleviated with an ice pack or anesthetic cream if desired.

Radiesse
Radiesse is a next generation dermal filler that not only fills but volumizes and works with your body to stimulate new collagen and deliver a natural look that lasts.

Juvéderm
This easy, non-surgical, FDA-approved wrinkle treatment makes use of a smooth gel made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps add volume and hydration back to your skin. Once injected, this substance instantly provides a smooth, natural look and feel to the skin by eliminating facial wrinkles and folds, including “smile lines” and “parentheses,” while simultaneously restoring the skin’s own youthful characteristics. Juvéderm requires very little recovery time, so the procedure can be performed while the kids are at soccer practice or simply by stopping at the office on the way home from work.

Restylane
The most studied cosmetic dermal filler in the world, Restylane serves as a proven way of treating unwanted lines and folds in the lower half of the face by adding volume to smooth out facial wrinkles. As opposed to BOTOX, which uses a purified protein to temporarily relax the muscles in the upper portion of the face, Restylane injections are made of natural, cosmetic fillers and are used on the lower part of the face. This FDA-approved treatment takes only 15 minutes, leaves no scars or traces, and produces immediate results. The length of those results varies individually based on factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle.
