Dr. Ronel often uses non-traditional
techniques to improve wound healing,
recovery time, and to minimize scarring.
Homeopathy
Homeopathic medications such
as Arnica montana, salves of Calendula
officinalis, and other non-toxic, pure
botanical products are included in the
surgical fee. Consultations with medical
aestheticians, "energy healers", and other
alternative practitioners who work closely
with Dr. Ronel are available.
Molecular Biology
A more modern technique
developed from recent advances in molecular
biology is the application of platelet gel:
in most invasive procedures, such as a face
lift or tummy tuck, a blood sample is
withdrawn from the patient before beginning
the procedure, it is spun down in a
centrifuge, a highly concentrated extract of
the patient's own wound-healing factors is
prepared. These are sprayed back into the
surgical site at the end of the case to
improve wound healing and minimize bleeding
and scarring.
Pain Control
In many cases, Dr. Ronel is
able to insert tiny catheters connected to a
small balloon pump through which an
anesthetic slowly flows after the surgery.
The pain pump works right at the spot of
surgery, giving better pain relief than only
taking narcotic medications. The small
balloon can be worn around the waist or
neck. Removing the catheters is painless.
