For more than 12 years, Drs. Robert Branton and Lorraine Jarrah have delivered hands on, unparalleled care in laser medicine and

aesthetics to residents of the Eastern Shore. Their aesthetics practice, The MedSpa, takes patient care to the next level by providing aesthetic care and laser medicine.

Aesthetic medicine is an approach to cosmetic care that relies on proven, minimally invasive practices. Non-invasive medical spa services cater to the growing demand to look and feel better. “Having a comprehensive understanding of medicine, and how disease and aging affects the skin and body enables me to partner with my patients to meet their aesthetic goals,” shared Dr. Jarrah. Non-invasive medical spa services cater to the growing demand to look and feel better. The MedSpa owns multiple lasers that provide treatments like laser hair removal, skin tightening, intense pulsed light, laser genesis and spider vein removal. Wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and other skin irregularities are all results of environmental and aging factors, which unfortunately take a toll on your skin. Luckily, laser skin care treatments can help reverse the clock and dramatically change the appearance of the skin. In addition to treatment options, The MedSpa specializes in cutting-edge skin care lines proven to help combat the signs of aging.

Youthful, Natural Appearances With Facial Fillers

Dr. Jarrah specializes in injectable fillers, and is recognized as a premier

injector by Allergan and Merz Aesthetics. She has performed over 2,500 injections, and her patients can count on compassionate care and expertise. Applied using layering techniques, injectable fillers like Radiesse, Juvederm, Voluma, Bellafill, Botox and Xeomin can provide patients with a more youthful and natural look.

Injection is an art, so you want to find an artist whose work you like. “My philosophy regarding injection technique is to replace what is lost for a subtle, refined look,” explained Dr. Jarrah. “A good injector will make sure their patients don’t look like they had something done. The goal is to look like you, only better.”

The Revolutionary CoolSculpting

Investing in the latest technology, The MedSpa is the only certified CoolSculpting Center on the Eastern Shore. The MedSpa recently acquired the CoolAdvantage applicator, which cuts treatment time in half, compared to traditional technology. CoolSculpting is a unique procedure that eliminates fat without surgery or an extensive recovery period. It is a great alternative to liposuction, and is effective without being invasive. The procedure is recommended to those who have difficulty losing target areas of fat through diet and exercise alone. Freezing fat cells causes them to eventually die. Once they’re gone, they’re gone for good — fat cells do not regenerate.

The treatment process is simple. First, a patient goes to the MedSpa and is assessed to determine whether he or she is a good candidate. If CoolSculpting is the right treatment,

the sculpting device is applied to the part of the body requiring treatment. Patients often spend the treatment time reading, watching movies, working on their laptops or sleeping. Recovery from the procedure is nearly immediate, although a few patients may experience a transient numbness or mild discomfort in the treated area. Patients are free to resume their normal lifestyle as soon as the procedure is complete. Typically, fat reduction is appreciated one to four months after the procedure.

CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared to treat nine different areas of the body: visible bulges under the chin and jawline, thighs, abdomen and flanks, along with bra fat, back fat and underneath the buttocks and upper arms. Whether you just want to feel better in your clothes or want a quick and painless mommy makeover, think CoolSculpting.

Comprehensive & Highly Skilled Internal MedicineIn addition to The MedSpa, Drs. Robert Branton and Lorraine

Jarrah have been delivering comprehensive medical care to

the Salisbury community for 24 years. Board Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Drs. Branton and Jarrah are known for their timely, unrushed and high-caliber healthcare. “Our philosophy is based on quality of care, not quantity,” explained Dr. Lorraine Jarrah. “We decided to work directly with patients so we could continue to provide quality healthcare at affordable, yet reasonable, rates. We didn’t want to practice high-volume, assembly-line medicine.” Drs. Branton and Jarrah specialize in comprehensive holistic medical care, offering same-day appointments, urgent and sick visits, sports physicals, Pap smears and DOT physicals.

The Physicians encourage wellness visits and other preventative steps to reduce the likelihood of something significant going untreated. Regular, attentive medical care also reduces the overall cost of care in the long-term. The patients of Drs. Branton and Jarrah are involved in all personal care decisions — decisions aren’t made for patients, they’re made with them. The doctors don’t just make pronouncements, they inform, based on their

own expertise and consult, based on the patient’s long and short-term health goals. This is an invaluable practice for people trying to manage diabetes, hypertension, COPD, high cholesterol or any form of illness.

If you are focused on obtaining high quality healthcare, the practice of Drs. Branton and Jarrah is accepting new patients. If you want to look good and feel better, The MedSpa will have services customized to reach your aesthetic goals. M
