Cleveland, Ohio - September 4, 2007 - "Health, Wellness and Beyond" is the theme of John Robert's Spa and the Cleveland Clinic free monthly lecture series launched April 25, 2007. The goal of this lecture series is to give the public the opportunity to learn and discuss contemporary beauty, health and wellness concerns and issues.  The monthly lecture series is held at John Robert's Spa Mayfield location, 6727 Eastgate Drive, Eastgate Shopping Center, every 4th Wednesday of the month from 6 to 7:30pm.  Topics vary each session. 

Wednesday September 26, 2007 from 6 to 7:30pm, John Robert's Spa and Cleveland Clinic's Department of Plastic Surgery will feature their third edition of "Health, Wellness and Beyond."  Subjects covered at this session include Body Contouring, Benefits of Body Wraps and Massages, and hair and makeup trends.  This free health and beauty talk is a great opportunity for all attendees to have all their questions answered by renowned, experienced professionals in their areas of expertise.

Dr Silvia Rotemberg, Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic, will explain how body contouring procedures can removes excess skin left after weight loss and help restore your appearance and outlook on life.  "What attracts me to body contouring is that it lets me give patients who have had bariatric surgery more confidence and greater self-esteem," she says. "They feel better in their clothes, and they are no longer ashamed to look in the mirror. Seeing them happy makes me feel happy."  Body contouring after massive weight loss can also include abdominoplasty, lower body lift, thighplasty (thigh lift), brachioplasty (arm lift), breast lift and face lift. 

Cleveland Clinic now offers minimally invasive surgery techniques, performed by making smaller incisions.  This procedure has dramatically shortened the recovery time, and is now performed on an outpatient basis.  "Everyone's time is precious, and people are looking for techniques that are helpful, yet do not require a lot of downtime," says James E. Zins, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Plastic Surgery.

To prepare your skin or complete body care before or after surgery, massages and body wraps are strongly recommended.  Kelly Farrar, John Robert's Spa Coordinator, will cover the role and benefits of body wraps and massages.  Sandy Hoyt, John Robert's Director of Artistic Education, and Nicole Flesher, Esthetician and Makeup Artist, will introduce new Fall and Winter hairstyles and makeup trends, and provide valuable technical beauty tips to help enhance your features.
