Patients seeking the latest aesthetic and cosmetic beauty treatments should seek out Dra. Alma Vazquez Lomas, in downtown Cabo San Lucas. A medical doctor practicing general medicine in Los Cabos for over 18 years, she began specializing in aesthetic medicine years ago in response to the needs of the growing number of aging foreign and local populations. Dra. Alma, herself being in “midlife,” has to personally deal with the same aging problems that her patients do. This gives her great empathy for them. “I use the products and treatments on myself, my friends and family” she noted in a recent interview. “I can tell my patients from my own personal experience what works and what doesn’t.” How many doctors can say that?
Depending on the treatment – most aesthetic treatments allow a patient to leave for home within a day or two. Some treatments create immediate results while others may take a few days to a week for the results to be evident as in Botox. Aesthetic treatments may only last a few months to a year or so while plastic surgery is mostly permanent if the patient takes care of themselves.
Regarding weight loss, Dra. Vazquez promotes the Zone Perfect Nutrition and Diet Program developed by Barry Sears P.H.D. This revolutionary plan changes people’s attitudes toward food consumption. Food, according to this new way of thinking should be considered as a medicine for the body rather than something to curb hunger or as a means of pleasure. An overweight patient should engage in a serious program of counseling, diet and exercise in addition to medical treatments to help avoid regressing to their old lifestyle habits that caused their obesity in the first place.
Dra. Alma says that patients often come to her to look better without surgery. Depending on the patient’s case, surgery can often be avoided or at least delayed. Although the majority of her practice is devoted to aesthetic treatments, she still practices general medicine, and working in tandem with an associate plastic surgeon. She can consult with patients regarding their plastic surgery options and arrange for face lifts, bottom, breast augmentations, nose surgeries, body sculpting and more.
Unwanted facial and body hair removal is a popular item these days. Using the latest laser light equipment by Light Sheer, excessive body hair can be removed (permanent depilation), on face, armpits, bikini, or legs as well as tattoos, physical peels and spider veins. Her equipment is state-of-the-art using a cooler non-burning laser light.
Receiving her M.D. degree at the University Autonomous National in Mexico City almost two decades ago she has also studied for her Masters in Aesthetic Medicine at the University of the Baleares Islands in Mallorca, Spain, become a Diplomat in Aesthetic Medicine, and has certifications for Botox (Allergen), Restylane, New-Fill, and Mesotherapy. These are all high quality treatments that virtually eliminate wrinkles, creases, crows feet, smooth out scars or in the case of Mesotherapy – reduce cellulite.
Dra. Alma sees patients in her clinic several blocks off the waterfront in Cabo San Lucas as well as at Pueblo Bonitos Rose and Sunset beach resorts in Cabo where she is the house M.D. She speaks perfect English and is well respected by her colleagues and the hundreds of patients that she has treated over the years.
