Maintaining a youthful appearance is so important these days, especially in a place like the San Francisco Bay Area, where your billionaire CEO boss might be young enough to be your son or daughter. You probably saw the recent Time magazine cover story titled, “Nip. Tuck. Or Else.” If you’re considering having work done but don’t want to commit to going under the knife, you’ll be glad to know that the Y LIFT ®, commonly referred to as the “Miracle 30-Minute Facelift” by Dr. Mehmet Oz from “The Doctor Oz Show” and the “Wow-Lift” by “The Doctors” television show, is now available in San Francisco. The Epi Center MedSpa, which bills itself as the nation’s first original medical spa and sustainable LEED certified facility, becomes the only medical spa in the Bay to offer this non-invasive and revolutionary procedure. Dr. Yan Trokel, who created the Y LIFT ® several years ago, will hold complimentary seminars at the Epi Center MedSpa, located in the prestigious 450 Sutter Building, Suite 800, in downtown, on Aug. 5th and 6th from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Be one of the first in the Bay Area to experience this groundbreaking treatment. Initial patients will receive steep discounts on treatments.

Y LIFT® is a minimally invasive facial contouring which accentuates the cheekbones, under eye area, defines the jawline and lifts the upper neck with no incisions and no anesthesia, producing instant results. Experts have raved about Y LIFT ® on the pages of the New York Times, Marie Claire and InStyle, to name just a few. This innovative procedure is currently performed in only a few select cities. It’s not surprising that the Epi Center MedSpa, opened in 1998 by Margaret Mitchell and Dr. Patrick Bitter, Sr., is the one in San Francisco offering the Y LIFT®. After all, it is the city’s oldest medical spa and is known for introducing cutting-edge aesthetic technology to its patients. From the invention of the PhotoFacial® by Dr. Bitter Sr. to being the first medspa in San Francisco to offer PhotoDynamic Therapy and CoolSculpting®, Epi Center MedSpa is the leader in medical cosmetic procedures.

“We are thrilled to partner with the prestigious Epi Center MedSpa,” states Dr. Trokel. “With the medical prowess of Dr. Bitter, Sr. and the extremely skilled and talented medical staff, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to introduce the Y LIFT ® to the Bay Area and beyond.”

Suitable for both women and men, the entire Y LIFT® procedure takes between 15 to 30 minutes and delivers instant results. The procedure is performed under local anesthetic and lasts between one to three years, depending on the product used. The key to the procedure is enhancement, not change. Combining modern technology, scientific skill, and the gift of artistry, beauty and youth are attained without compromising the natural facial integrity.

“The Y LIFT ® treatment is a perfect addition to the MedSpa’s innovative menu of rejuvenation services,” says Dr. Bitter, Sr., a world-renown dermatologist. “We are proud to be the exclusive medical facility offering this novel treatment to Northern California.”
