Yes. Dr. James Rosing is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). He completed his plastic surgery residency at Stanford University and has over 14 years of surgical experience.

Most patients return to non-strenuous activities within 2 weeks. Bruising and swelling typically resolve over 2-4 weeks. Final results continue to improve over 3-6 months as tissues settle. Dr. Rosing uses refined techniques that minimize recovery time while delivering natural, long-lasting results.

Modern breast implants are designed to last 10-20 years, though many patients go longer without issues. They are not considered lifetime devices. Regular monitoring through exams and imaging helps detect any changes. Replacement is only needed if a complication occurs or you want a change.

A facelift addresses the mid-face, jawline, and jowls, while a neck lift specifically targets sagging skin, banding, and excess fat in the neck. Many patients benefit from combining both procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation. Dr. Rosing will recommend the approach that best addresses your concerns.

Yes, combining procedures is common and often recommended for comprehensive results. Popular combinations include facelift with neck lift, breast augmentation with lift, or tummy tuck with liposuction. Combining procedures means one recovery period instead of multiple, which many patients prefer.

EMSCULPT uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to trigger powerful muscle contractions — the equivalent of 20,000 crunches in a 30-minute session. It simultaneously builds muscle and reduces fat in the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and calves. No surgery, no downtime.

Most patients maintain optimal results with Botox treatments every 3-4 months. Over time, some patients find they can extend intervals as the treated muscles weaken. Dr. Rosing tailors dosing to achieve natural-looking results — reducing wrinkles while preserving expression.

RF (radiofrequency) microneedling combines tiny needles that penetrate the skin with controlled radiofrequency energy delivered at precise depths. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, tightening, acne scars, and fine lines. Results develop over 3-6 months as new collagen forms.

Most medical spa treatments have minimal to no downtime. Cosmetic injections (Botox, fillers) allow same-day return to activities. RF microneedling may cause redness for 1-3 days. EMSCULPT has zero downtime. Laser treatments vary by type and intensity — Dr. Rosing will discuss expected recovery during your consultation.

Annual full-body skin examinations are recommended for all adults, especially those with a history of sun exposure, fair skin, or a family history of skin cancer. If you have risk factors or previous concerning moles, more frequent screenings may be recommended.

Allure MD offers a comprehensive approach to acne including prescription topical and oral medications, chemical peels, laser treatments, and advanced therapies like RF microneedling for acne scarring. Treatment is personalized based on acne type, severity, skin type, and prior treatment history.

Functional medicine is a systems-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease rather than just treating symptoms. At Allure MD, our functional medicine services include hormone optimization, cardiometabolic health, epigenetic optimization, neurocognitive performance, and hair restoration.

Hormone optimization begins with comprehensive lab testing to identify imbalances in hormones like testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, cortisol, and growth hormone. Treatment may include bioidentical hormone replacement, lifestyle modifications, nutritional supplementation, and ongoing monitoring to achieve optimal levels safely.
