INTRODUCTION TO THE BLOG
Welcome to Free Health and Beauty Secrets. I am John Aslanian, and I have spent over 20 years running a non-surgical aesthetics practice in New York City at Precision Aesthetics. This blog is where I share honest, no-nonsense insights about the aesthetics industry—what works, what does not, and what the marketing will not tell you. My goal is to help you make informed decisions about your health and beauty.
By John Aslanian
Lets cut to the chase and start with beauty. Me at 71 selfie at home. And me at 35
Notice straight jaw line, no jowls, no Botox either. Obviously its not genetics, I had some saggy skin a long time ago, you can see it in my first photo in the black leather jacket of me in my thirties.
Notice the nasolabial folds (thats the line from the nose to the corner of the mouth.) and the jaw line. Its thirty years later!!!!! That is where the treatment excels. You can see the “11” above the nose no Botox.
What if you knew the health and beauty secrets that the rich and famous invest $25,000 to $100,000 a year to uncover? I do, and I’m here to share them with you. As an expert and former consultant to Dr. Oz Garcia, the world-famous nutritionist who caters to celebrities and the wealthy, I have inside knowledge. Dr. Garcia’s clientele includes over 20 Forbes 400 members and numerous actors and celebrities. For these exclusive clients, it costs $25,000 just to get started, with many spending over $100,000 annually. Today, I’m revealing these secrets to you—no paywalls, no subscriptions. Just genuine, heartfelt sharing.
On the beauty side, I’ll introduce you to Dr. Lisa Zdinak’s renowned office, Precision Aesthetics, where billionaires, celebrities, and even royal families seek treatments. I’ll guide you through the safest and most effective technologies they use. Some clients invest over $100,000 each year to tighten and tone their skin from head to toe—without mentioning any names, of course.
Thats what the Rich and Famous do. If you are “poor” go get a face lift for $30,000 stretch thin skin over bones. If you want to do it all naturally and add collagen, literally strengthen the most important muscles on your face and tighten your skin. It will be between $4000 and $10,000 to do Thermage and Emface to tighten the muscles as well. If you are under 50, you can probably get away with doing it once every few years. If you are over 60 you can spend that much every year. When I quoted $50,000 to $100,000 I am referring to older people that are not only doing non surgical face lifting but also tightening skin, making muscles and melting fat from head to toe.
My goal here is to inform you of many of the best solutions, treatments, and technologies for free. No silly one-hour-long YouTube video to deliver a five-minute message about a supplement or a technology.
MORE ABOUT DR OZ GARCIA
With Dr. Oz, they are proud that they take supplements. Some, like Russel Simmons, did a cable TV show with him, in addition to Hillary Swank and others, openly brag about their “health” routine.
I partnered, researched, funded, and worked closely with Oz, formulating every ingredient for his Longevity Pak. If you click on it, you can see countless articles where Hillary Swank bragged about it. He was her nutritionist for Millionaire Baby because it was so physically demanding on her. I also wrote labels for many supplements, which required me to work with the manufacturer’s nutritionists and legal team to ensure adequate studies supported every claim for every supplement we privately labeled.
PRECISION AESTHETICS
When it comes to cosmetic treatments, most women will not even tell their sisters or best friends what treatments they have done. Our office has no sign on the building and nothing on the door besides 1A. It has to be confidential. Anyone rich or famous can’t be seen walking into a “cosmetic doctor’s office.” We are proud to be New York’s best-kept secret. There are four treatment rooms, so 99% of the time, there is no one in the waiting area, and you will not see anyone. As private as we are, some will pay a premium to have the office to themselves for a few hours. You can imagine who that might be.
Some vehemently deny any “help” even though everything I am advocating here is not only nonsurgical; it could be argued it’s all-natural. For example, Carboxytherapy utilizes microneedling on steroids. A needle breaks up the stretch mark, and Co2 gas is infused to stimulate blood flow with oxygen. Carboxytherapy is the only treatment that works like magic for stretch marks and scars—stimulating muscle growth and fat loss or stimulating the growth of collagen and tightening skin with radio frequency or acoustic wave to tighten the mesh that holds back fat to reduce cellulite.
I manage Precision Aesthetics, so sometimes I switch to speaking in the first person. That is because I have 17 years of knowledge about nonsurgical treatments. I have attended seminars and conferences, international and domestic, and interviewed and studied every technology globally. In 2009, we participated in the Anti-Aging Congress in Monte Carlo. Dr Lisa Zdinak was lecturing about the new facial handpiece for Thermage. At that time, we met the President of BTL ( famous today for Emsculpt and other technologies. He asked us to bring their first device to NY. They didn’t even have a sales or marketing team. I did their press releases. That is the company you see all over social media today, with everyone showing off their six-pack abs. Yes, we were first in the US. Nobody has more experience.
I can also explain the technical and medical aspects of each device if you are curious because Dr Zdinak explained them to me. And if you are interested in the actual results of each technology that the client enjoyed, Danielle always tells me I also answer phones, so I know the experience from beginning to end.
As of 2023, I have answered approximately 3 phone calls a day for 17 years, or around 17,000 phone calls. Sometimes I speak for an hour while the prospective new patient tells me about all of the procedures they have done, what results they have gotten, what works and what doesn’t work. That knowledge and experience is priceless. Even if you spent a million dollars and 17 years, you couldn’t replicate my experience and firsthand knowledge.
No one has that kind of first hand knowledge, not even a doctor because they are busy treating patients. If there is a better safer more effective technology available anywhere in the world its common sense and in our own selfish interest, we would buy it. We have many thousands of patients to offer it to.
Sometimes our international patients tell us about a technology that hasnt yet made it to the US. That is in addition to our travel to International conferences to insure we have the best technologies in the world.
It’s time to unveil and share valuable insights. Although I initially dubbed this collection “Free Health and Beauty Secrets,” because there is no paywall, the title seems to undervalue the priceless information I am presenting here. I cant tell you how many times I have had conversations like this ” I just spent $3000 on laser treatment for my stretch marks” Me ” I am so sorry. A laser is simply a superficial surface treatment an attempt to camouflage it. It will not heal a stretch mark which is deep. Your skin has torn at a deeper level. In fact Carboxytherapy works on scars as well. I. am sorry”
Feel free to go to the top menu at any time or the blue menu upper right if you are on your phone and jump right into my suggestions for health, beauty and happiness. Have fun, get healthy happy and beautiful. I promise I will keep it all short and sweet. Although after the suggestion and short explanation I do follow it up with more in depth explanations for those who want more information. I will continue to add suggestions and tag more specific categories for your convenience.
PS you should see my abs. Maybe that picture will be next. My results from the original Emsculpt. I also recently added Emface to my protocol of Thermage. Emface does the muscles in the face as well. 37% increase in restored muscles while simultaneously lifting 30% and restoring collagen too. Many see a more defined jaw line and cheek even after their first treatment.
This isnt a glitzy website with retouching and expensive lighting and a lot of dishonesty. I am even wearing a dirty t shirt. I just snapped a quick selfie, because I wanted an immediate real photo for comparison.
WHAT I did to maintain relatively smooth tight skin
All I have done is Thermage skin tightening, and Emface this year. Thermage is what Gwenyth Palrow admits to doing and she apparently gets paid by the company because they use her in their promotional material. I promise you she is not the only one who does that treatment
It is rumored Courtney Cox, Jennifer Aniston and many others also use Thermage. It is effective yet subtle. You will look refreshed and tighter. It kinda looks like someone took maybe a 1/4 of an inch of skin off your lower face. If you are grabbing your skin and pulling back an inch, that is a face lift. But you can do Thermage multiple times, as I have, and there is no recovery.
To be clear, we, Precision Aesthetics, did not treat those individuals that I mentioned. We go way beyond HIPPA for patient privacy. We are so secretive we dont even allow anyone in the office, including me, when certain celebrities are in the office. We also dont show before and afters.
Our residential building has no signage at all. It is the ultimate in secrecy and privacy. No one has any clue what our office is, it is merely marked 1A. Thats it. We literally are her secret “sanctuary” as one of our clients said to us, in appreciation. She said she gets to spend the afternoon in solitude while she tightens her skin all over her body. They love us and you will never see a before or after of any of them. Getting great treatments and their privacy is priceless for them.
I will tell you we did do Thermage skin tightening on the thighs and butt cheeks of one of the highest paid runway models in the world. I am not going to tell you who, or even what company or what year. Lets just say she got paid quite over 4 million to walk the runway that year. We also have ladies who spend more than $100,000 a year on these and other treatments. Sometimes they dont even tell me, other than, “John are you coming to the office today?” Me “why?” Them “because one of your favorite actors is going to be in the office and we dont want you in the office all surprised awed” or some other person of notoriety is being treated who demands absolute privacy.
The newest device on the scene in New York is Emface. Its muscle tightening on the face, it increases or restores 37% of your muscle tone. So the jaw line and even the forehead is improved. Plus it also has radio frequency added to it. Wouldnt that be exactly what a non surgical face lift would be? Restoring the muscles on the face vs a face lift which is merely pulIing and stretching loose skin? There are very few of them in New York. The machine costs $350,000 plus consumables.
We signed up to be the first because Dr Lisa recognized and is intimately familiar with exactly which muscles they are lifting. They even said they wish she worked for them because they dont have the intimate knowledge of each muscle that she does. In fact the best Botox doctors can actually place a drop at the insertion point of the muscle that pulls down on the corner of your mouth to stop the look of frowning old people get.
We also improve every treatment by combining various technologies for even greater results. Its not the same for each person. I laugh when I see Med Spas suggesting you not only book yourself, but that they have specific combinations that are suitable for everyone? That is not even logical to anyone. For example on the body we can use one technology, for muscles one, for fat, one for cellulite, one for stretch marks. They also overlap in what they do, as do people’s conditions. And which two or three would you use, and in what order, depends on the person’s unique condition.
I have done Thermage and Emface on my face and Emsculpt on my body. I also do Emsella. So that translates to face, abs and your sex muscle or kegels. Emsella creates thousands of kegels in minutes while you sit on it fully clothed. The least invasive treatment we offer. And the benefit is you strengthen your pubococcygeal muscles (the ones you use to keep from peeing or “coming”. Its FDA approved for incontinence. Even young women complain about peeing when they laugh after childbirth.
More importantly do you want to be part of the largest users of diapers when you get older? Adult diapers are outselling baby diapers. You dont want to be one of them. Funny, its probably the most important thing we offer to anyone over the age of 50, yet people avoid it. So we just say improve your sex life.
I intimately know this stuff. I am not only a researcher I am an owner and a patient as well. So I have had these treatments and I research other competitive treatments. I can do a two hour lecture off the top of my head describing the various technologies, how they work, and which ones are the safest and most effective vs a doctor who is paid by a manufacturer to push one technology and actually has no clue about all of the other ones. We go out of business if we pick the wrong technology. We lose the confidence of our patients and our reputation. But on the other hand we will never offer and unsafe treatment. We passed on Coolsculpting. We passed on RF in the vagina (the FDA agreed and went after those companies.) We are currently assessing microneedling like Morpheus. It is the the most popular, So was Coolsculpting LOL. Go google Linda Evangelista Coolsculpting. What a disaster. But that happens at least one percent of the time. So any office treating 25 people a week is disfiguring one person a month?
Feel Free to jump right over to Beauty Blog posts
As this is more about my story feel free to go to Precision Aesthetics to learn about actual treatments.
More about Nutritionist Dr Oz Garcia. I remember dropping Dr Oz off one night on set, where a particular movie star was filming in New York and wanted a “drip” (some IV vitamins)
For his vitamins, Longevity Pak, I even inspected the manufacturing facilities for vitamins from NJ to Arizona to decide where to manufacture it. It was quite and eye opener. The facility in Arizona required cap and gown and foot coverings and we had to sign in and out. In fact when they wanted to show me one more thing, before we reentered the facility, again we donned the garb and signed in again.
That was an FDA regulated facility. Their standards were high enough to manufacture drugs. There are all these acronyms for the various agencies that accredit facilities from GMP, NSF to FDA and others. But that is yet another subject, let my little story in the next paragraph enlighten you as to the huge variation in manufacturing processes from one facility to another. And today we have the added the complication of whether we believe the Chinese are adhering to any standards.
After completing a run of vitamins in the Arizona facility, the FDA accredited facility, the big steel vats were cleaned then they measured them for ATP which measures any biological residue. Its the gold standard for cleanliness.
Back in New Jersey, they were shoveling protein powder with shovels from cardboard barrels the size of garbage pails. It was gross. And that company is a contract manufacturer for many famous product lines for numerous household names. Probably ones you have on your shelf.
I learned some of the greatest health secrets while working with Oz Garcia I learned from the right way to “fast” with no pain. The reason people get sick and get headaches when they fast is there are too many toxins being released from your body and your liver is overloaded. But you can cleanse your liver from toxins with medical “food” like the ever popular UltraClear. Metagenics built their whole company on the back of that one product. I also learned to do my own IV vitamins and literally saved my liver while waiting for a cure for hepatitis C. I also learned from the most prominent in their fields, when he was interviewing physicians for his book, Look and Feel Fabulous forever. I met Dr Erika Schwartz who wrote many books about natural hormone solutions. I even attended a one day seminar with a few dozen doctors who were learning the protocols. I met Dr Lisa 20 years ago when Dr Oz was doing the chapter on non surgical and surgical facial interventions. I continue to work closely with many of the doctors featured in his book.
The cost of a patient to be treated by Dr Oz Garcia for the year is $25,000 plus the cost of supplements tests and treatments. Many land up spending over $100,000 a year.
I highly recommend spending $25,000 to $100,000 a year, if you can afford it, to see Dr Oz. I personally know people who went from weekly emergency room visits for allergic attacks, to perfect health, traveling the world, and enjoying life. I was actually sitting in on patient visits to potentially be his “second” to treat patients. I remember sitting in on one who went from dropping out of college with overwhelming fatigue, to graduating both college and medical school and enjoying life with an unusual probiotic regiment involving quarts of various probiotics, not taken orally because of an overuse of antibiotics in her youth. PS this is Dr Oz Garcia not Mehmet Oz.
He was their last resort, after seeing every top doctor in NYC. These are extremely wealthy people. He is unconventional and not a MD so he is nobody’s first stop. And he is free to use the best supplements in the world. Conventional doctors are highly constrained. But so many have found him. When we both lived on the east side we would run the reservoir in Central Park go to lunch then straight to Barnes and Noble to buy whatever medical or health books came out that week.
Funny story I went to a Doctor considered one of the best if not the best cardiologists in New York. After extensive testing he asked, which doctor he should send the results to? When I replied Oz Garcia, he asked me in awe, “you are friends with him?” I guess he had so many celebrity referrals from Oz he was star struck.
I often grilled Oz on what I had read, and there wasnt anything he didnt know.
Dont want to bore you feel free to go straight to health

Dr Lisa Zdinak. Precision Aesthetics
Dr Lisa is the expert I learned from. She has a tremendous International clientele consisting of celebrities, royalty and billionaires. Many travel to New York from all over the world, Asia, the Middle East and Europe, to be treated by her and the technologies and unique protocols she developed.
Besides answering phones and hearing new patients complain about other procedures they did not get any results from, I sometimes “secret shopped” other top doctors in New York.
I will never forget I read about one of the most famous Doctors in New York, that was featured in Vogue Magazine about Carboxytherapy. So I called their office. I was really disappointed because Dr. Lisa was the true authority on the subject, having conducted and written the United States research on Carboxytherapy. Yet we were never called for the article. Even though she is obviously the expert and “wrote the book on it”. In this case, the US research.
After being put on hold for 10 minutes they admitted they had no idea if they had it or were even getting it and no one knew anything about it, yet they were featured in the magazine. So dont be naive and dont believe everything you read. If you pay $10,000 a month to a PR agent they get you articles in magazines, and you get to comment on the newest technologies, even if you dont have it and you know nothing about it, as it was in this case.
To this day that Doctor still doesnt have Carboxytherapy. Yet Danielle our technician has performed, hundreds if not thousands of Carboxytherapy procedures to dramatically reduce stretch marks. Its literally the favorite treatment of our clientele and we have people fly in from all over the country for their treatments, even though it requires 12 treatments. That is about as strong a testimonial as you can get for anything. In fact I know more about Carboxytherapy then the doctor featured in their article.
Ask me how dumb are some doctors? I am so glad I am not a doctor so I can speak this way. Dr Lisa is way too professional to talk this way. You should be happy I can speak in layman’s terms and I dont have to offer professional courtesy. There was a famous Beverly Hills doctor who dissed Carboxytherapy. Newflash, Carbon Dioxide gas is excreted every time you breathe and it is the most used gas in the emergency room for laproscopic surgery. Quarts of it are used to inflate the abdominal cavity so they can get in there with their tiny instruments and the organs are pulled away from eachother. For him to say a drop of Co2 gas is dangerous compared to the quarts of it that are used in surgeries every day across the country means he hasnt spent much time in the operating room and is unfamiliar with how we breathe.
I dont know how to perform surgery, but I have been studying happiness and supplements over 50 years and non surgical beauty treatments for almost 20 years.
I have been studying non surgical cosmetic treatments since the birth of this industry, about 20 years which is about how long this industry has existed. There was no one else like us in all of New York in 2007. It was only surgical offices, and the only machine was Thermage and we literally got the first Thermage NXT in New York in 2007, as well as almost every single upgrade thereafter, and performed the most procedures in all of New York many years. To be clear to anyone who wants to argue that point. Thermage was the first FDA device of any kind that got FDA approval in 2001 for skin tightening. The first generation of the machine sucked. It was very painful and the results werent great. It wasnt until 2007 and the NXT that the machine really became effective in the hands of an experienced provider. BTL EMsculpt, Exilis, Emface and all of the Cutera devices, literally nothing else existed back then. It was merely skin tightening.
We now have hundreds of devices utilizing cold, ultrasound, acoustic wave and muscle stimulation. No doctor has the time to keep up with the plethora of devices and certainly its bewildering to a patient. But this is my job and its my business to know what is available anywhere on the world.
Many people spend between $50,000 to over $100,000 a year at Dr Lisa’s office to maintain smooth, toned, cellulite free, stretch mark free skin on their bodies as well as taut toned smooth faces. You lose collagen every day of your life. So those that can afford it, repeat these treatments yearly, and some repeat it twice a year and some even three times a year. Its no different than not going to the gym for a whole year. Make collagen, make muscles. Its all good. Precision Aesthetics, Dr Lisa Zdinak’s office, can do it for you.
MY BIOGRAPHY
Or Skip this and go right to my suggestions on Happiness
I also learned a lot at home. Both my parents were health nuts. So I have been getting fed that frame of mind my whole life. My father explained to me that he went to his doctor when he was 40. That was probably around 1950. He told me his doctor told him. “Well you are 40 now so we probably will be taking your gallbladder out and then maybe your appendix next and expect that you might need some other medications or surgeries.
I dont know if my father’s doctor was an idiot or they all talked that way in the fifties. But thankfully that idiot changed the direction of my father’s life and mine. My father left his doctor went straight to the library and started reading about health, exercise and food and never went back. PS neither of my parents took or needed and medications or surgeries up until their mid 90’s. So either I have super genes and better start banking them or it was the avoidance of doctors that led to their great health. PS they both played tennis until their 80’s We started eating fish on Fridays, he gave up Golf for tennis and he never looked back. They never even took an aspirin or an antibiotic.
My sister and I often wondered what led to their great health. Besides completely avoiding doctors they ate home made yogurt every day. Coincidentally the medical world continues to write more and more about probiotics. Just this week I read that they are now believing that the bacteria in your mouth travels into your blood stream and causes plaques in your arteries and in your brain. Furthermore they found cro-magnon teeth that were cavity free and wanted to scrape that ancient bacteria and use it and test it. I should have saved some of my grandmother’s yogurt that was handed down from generations.
The process for home made yogurt was that you saved the “last bite” of yogurt and used that specific bacteria to make the next batch of yogurt. You were in deep trouble if you ate that. Grandmothers used to argue who had the best yogurt. They understood there were different strains of bacteria. Heck when I was a kid Danon had a commercial touting yogurt as the reason for long lived Soviet Georgians and Armenians.
The healthiest avoided doctors, and the smartest most successful, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Quentin Tarantino dropped out of school to avoid rote thinking, and ? Hmm we might be onto something here.
Dr Lisa seems to know everything, even when its not her specialty. I remember when my sister called me from Florida, Dad was in the hospital, We were all on pins and needles til midnight. As we sat in NJ, Dr Lisa said he is old, he has a urinary tract infection, they will give him antibiotics and send him home tomorrow. I got the call at midnight from my sister. “they said he has a urinary tract infection they are going to give him antibiotics, keep him overnight and send him home tomorrow” Same story for a friend who was worried about his 13 year old son’s brain surgery. He was freaking out. She told me at that age it is unlikely that it is cancer. They will probably remove the tumor and he will be fine. I inappropriately told him. I was worried he would have a heart attack he left New York to go back to Hawaii in a panic. It turned out exactly as she said the majority of those cases do. I have countless Dr Lisa stories. She is the smartest person I know. She was not performing malpractice she merely told me. I felt bad for my friend who was freaking out so I inappropriately told him.
My Dad also told me he worked in a butcher shop and saw what went into a hot dog. Due to that, he never ate one hot dog his whole life. Talk about visualizing to achieve a goal. So I had a great start for health although I did take a “slight” detour myself.
More on the beauty side, where I work with Dr. Lisa Zdinak and co-founded Precision Aesthetics in 2007.
Precision Aesthetics has required research and testing every new nonsurgical treatment for conditions like stretch marks, loose skin, fat, body shaping, and cellulite. I have researched more than most doctors, because I have been doing it for 17 years and I have the time to do it. I dont treat patients. I also answer the phones, so I hear what patients are looking for, what they have tried, what they liked, and what didnt work, and I hear about any new devices from them as well as my research. Nobody can claim they have interviewed 17,000 patients about various technologies. Since I have answered at least 3 phone calls a day for 17 years. An intelligent conversation includes what they have tried over the years what worked and what didnt. I could fill a thousand page book with that knowledge. Or you can hire a company and spend a million dollars to do 17,000 surveys.
It beats the heck out of calling a know nothing med spas that are merely trying to book an appointment and the overly friendly person answering the phone literally knows nothing.
Together with Dr Lisa we have literally searched the world for the best solutions for non surgical beauty treatments and technologies. We attended, actually she lectured, at the World Anti-Aging Congress in Monte Carlo numerous times. She wanted to insure we saw the newest and best technologies available anywhere in the world, not just the US. The Anti-Aging Congress is a multi day two track conference featuring the latest advances in anti-aging health and beauty and the most preeminent research from every corner of the globe attended by 5,000 physicians.
You can only lecture on a technology that was released that year and that you have done research on, after you submit your study research to their committee. She was actually an invited lecturer because we introduced the Thermage CPT in 2009 so she did a research paper and submitted it to them for approval for a lecture.
We discovered some of the best technologies at that conference in Europe. In fact that is where we met Jan Zarsky who was the President of BTL in 2009. He asked us to bring the first BTL Exilis to New York in 2009. He asked her because he recognized that she was the New York expert for Thermage. And it was apparent that we were the preeminent provider of Thermage in New York city. Thermage was their biggest competitor.
BTL now has around 12,000 customers, yet we brought their first device to New York at the request of the President of the company. Do the math. No one else can claim that. That was 9 years before the introduction of BTL Emsculpt which put them on the social media map. Thats the one that you see all over social media with the celebrities getting their six pack abs. And today we literally are amongst a very select few that debuted the first non surgical face lift in New York, Emface.
In 2010 Jan Zarsky of BTL called upon us and asked us to test their Acoustic Wave machine for cellulite. Its a great story. As a physical therapy company they were using acoustic wave to help people heal muscle injuries more quickly. The side effect was the loss of cellulite. It was so dramatic that women insisted on continuing their treatment. I remember he said I know you guys do a lot of body treatments so please test this for us.
We took the acoustic wave physical therapy machine and tested it for them and proved their thesis. It was better than the Thermage, that had a CL, or cellulite tip, which was the gold standard at that time. That acoustic wave platform was rebranded Cellultone for cellulite. In 2019 they added radio frequency to it, and it became BTL Emtone for cellulite. We received the first device in NY, in 2019, and were designated to be the only doctor training facility in recognition of our contribution to its development and our experience.
The explanation for those who care; The acoustic wave for physical therapy stimulated the muscle fibers to heal more quickly. That same acoustic wave was also stimulating the collagen mesh that should have been holding back the fat, that had loosened and given the appearance of cellulite, as the fat poked through the loosened mesh.
The original acoustic wave therapy required 10 treaments vs 1 Thermage treatment. So we did 10 times more work for 80% less money. But all that mattered was patient satisfaction. The new machine has radio frequency as well so it is different and requires 4 to 6 treatments and tightens skin simultaneously.
So we directly contributed to the development of the latest most effective technology for cellulite.
I also attended the anti-aging lectures at those world wide conferences where I learned everything from the latest cancer treatments to cutting edge anti-aging hormone therapies. The American doctors I was sitting next to were horrified that the successful treatments they were hearing about in Europe were contrary to conventional thinking in the US. How could a doctor be that close minded? I guess we have more lawyers 🙂
For example I was listening to a lecture where a French doctor discussed curing testicular cancer with hormones. American doctors, even today, 15 years later, dont understand that growth hormone and testosterone encourage healthy growth. Again not here giving medical advice, just mentioning some of my education, which allows me to offer some great advice and alternatives. Also if you do want to pursue an alternative treatment find an “integrative doctor” As the name implies they are medical doctors that integrate conventional medicine with alternative therapies. Dont even dream of doing this stuff on your own, online, or solely with an alternative practitioner. It is your life we are talking about. I would never advocate anything without first checking with your doctor, or a doctor, one that ends with the designation MD.
Two years ago I had two friends with prostate cancer. One traveled the world in search of an alternative prostate cancer treatment. The other went to the top New York conventional doctor and got radical surgery. I still speak to them both. I started getting worried about my friend seeking alternative care because I didnt want him to die.
My friend who did the surgery assured me he was cancer free and although he didnt have any functions that are normally performed by the penis. I am assuming that besides sex, going to bathroom might be in a bag.
After going to Germany and a bunch of other countries, alternative friend landed up doing HIFU in Canada. It was already 95% effective but not approved in the US. In this case HIFU (which has many uses) was used for prostate cancer. Its efficacy is as high as 95% and today it is so well recognized it is even paid for by insurance. But what do I know, ask your doctor. Just kidding, he or she only knows what the drug reps tell them or the standard of care from 10 years ago. The other friend that got the surgery doesnt have any working parts downstairs. That is really devastating for a man. But FYI HIFU is now the best US treatment for prostate cancer.
Back to Beauty
Since its inception in 2007 precision aesthetics has delivered over $15 million in nonsurgical treatments and 20,000 successful treatments. I say this not to brag but to assure you that if there is a non surgical technology that is superior in treating any of the aforementioned conditions we would have bought it yesterday since we have around 5000 patients to offer it to and if we dont have it they will leave and get it elsewhere. We dont have a choice so we test and investigate everything. If you want to know what isnt the best or doesnt work, its easy we dont have it. Or call me if you think you found something new, the world does innovate quickly. I would love to investigate it.
Its actually not that complicated. For the most part its simply lasers, radio frequency, ultrasound, acoustic wave, muscle stimulation or freezing. And combinations of the various technologies.
Some of the patients come to Dr LIsa and tell her what they saw in Paris or Monte Carlo and insist we get it too. One of her patients even asked her to get trained to make a personal stem cell cream. She got trained on it. It was literally $25,000 to make your own stem cell cream.
Doctor Zdinak was the first to offer the vampire facelift and was written up in the New York Times. in addition to Exilis and all of the Thermage “firsts” in New York. She also conducted and wrote the original United States research for Carboxytherapy for stretch marks and introduced every major upgrade for Thermage starting in 2007 with the first NXT in NY, in 2009, the first CPT for the face, the 16.0 for the body as well as numerous Thermage Pinnacle and Black Diamond awards for most treatments delivered in all of New York.
PERSONAL All about me This part goes to my core and is way too personal but its the core of me and why I study so hard even today, days nights weekends, if it can help your brain, your happiness or your health I am reading about it and sharing it, writing about it, or talking about it. Feel free to skip this. Not sure I even wanted to share it. But it is why I am also an expert on happiness.
Again not sure I wanted to share this, Last Chance
For over 50 years I have studied happiness, success, health and nutrition. I have a BS from George Washington University, (pre med) an AADP from Integrated School of Nutrition. I also formulated Genetiskin with Dr. Lisa Zdinak (skin specific nutrients for beauty) I went to all day seminars by Xymogen (manufacturers for supplement for doctors) Design by Health, Metagenics, Doctors only seminars for hormone repalcement by Dr Erika Schwartz, author of the natural hormone solution.
So I kind of know more then most doctors in NY. I also have the added knowledge from the best doctors in the world at the Monte Carlo Anti Aging conference. I only saw one doctor from New York in attendance, at the first one I went to in 2009. I have countless certificates from different trainings I have done, from Anthony Robbins (almost 40 years ago), Sedona Method.
I also attended multi day seminars by the vitamin companies like Xymogen, Metagenics, and Designs for Health. They have doctor only formulas, because their supplements are too strong to take without supervision. They are actually called Nutaceuticals because some are as effective as pharmaceuticals. One tiny example. Cinndrome X. It is everything you need to lower your blood sugar. But they felt that if someone with type 2 diabetes was already on medication they might drive their blood sugar so low they would faint. That is why they used to sell it to doctors only. I dont know if they changed their formula since they now sell to the public.
Another favorite areas of study is cold or low-level lasers and I trained and was certified to perform laser accupuncture for quitting smoking. The laser avoids the use of needles and you can actually be slightly less accurate, but of course still targeting the exact same points. One of my doctors informed me a royal in the Middle East wanted to do laser accupuncture to quit smoking and he would send his gold encrusted private jet to New York to pick me up to treat him. But that dam integrity. I gave it to the person who taught me. I felt that it was the right thing to do since I had just learned and didnt have enough experience. PS I never heard from the doctor the patient or my teacher. Oh well do the right thing anyway. Not even a thank you phone call.
I bought two cold lasers for over $10,000 each and I even spent a day in my chiropractors office treating every patient. Cold or low level lasers, ones that dont create heat got their first FDA approval in 2001 for carpal tunnel. It was a study of thousands of GM workers. The laser comes with different hand pieces one that comes to a point for laser accupuncture and the other has around 2 1/2 inches to target an area of inflammation. Again not to get confused with diffused red light. Red light therapy is not a laser. A laser is monochromatic (one wave length and focused)
It definitely reduces inflammation although it is still not perfectly clear how it works. PS dont confuse lasers with red light therapy. A laser is coherent amplified focused beam of light. Red light is diffused light. I dont know if I buy into its ability to alter anything Here is some fake news from Cleveland Clinic. If you read the definition of a laser, even a five year old would understand that the Cleveland Clinic wrote something incorrect. I am actually shocked. Red light is not a laser. Read the definitions yourself. Its simply a red light. A laser can cut steel. We dont even know if a red light is of any value whatsover.
I also love studying brain chemistry, and the amino acids and devices that can affect brain chemistry. How do you release serotonin, endorphins, dopamine? Millions of people run, including me (I ran for 30 years) partly to release endorphins, or the runners high.
Ironically I used drugs to to release those exact same chemicals when I was young and had not yet recognized or experienced the runners high. Interesting you might say. I dont mind admitting it because it ended 43 years ago. And I am actually very proud of it. Few people survived it alive. I dont know of any that thrived and went on to be successful and studied happiness from that perspective.
Obviously I have more to teach then someone who didnt have the that extraordinary breath of experience from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs humanly possible, internally and externally possible. I constantly experiment with different combinations of amino acids intake to see if I can contribute to my health, happiness, motivation and energy. I have utilized full spectrum lighting, brain stimulating devices, transcendental meditation. I have tried it all. Because at the end of the day don’t we all just want to be happy and look as young as we can.
In fact when the youtube Doctors who swear by certain cocktails or routines shoot up cocaine and heroin for comparison I will give them more credibility than I give myself. Because nothing can compare to that level of chemical manipulation of your brain chemistry. But it gives me an experience and perspective that allows me to study every natural possibility and alternative to alter or enhance our natural brain chemistry.
You cant talk about health without talking about happiness. One affects the other. Obviously I have dramatic personal experience on the subject of happiness. I was knocked down as low as you can go and should have been dead multiple times and got back up. I am not some rich kid or a doctor that is going to preach to you, as most are on youtube. So I started sharing those posts as well from my unique perspective.
PS you can go to the blogs at any time for the advice. You dont have to read my personal story, which I am not even sure I want to share. Especially since there are so many haters or people who will take something out of context and try to hurt me even though that part of my life ended 43 years ago.
But I include it because I know some will listen harder when they really understand viscerally that I had not only “fallen down and couldnt get up” but I was profoundly hurt and the most negative person on the planet and literally didnt care if I lived or died. I also brushed with death almost daily.
Also the numbers of people that are affected that I could potentially help are staggering. There are 37 million illegal drug users, 40% of all people have some substance abuse disorder, 61 million people used illicit drugs in the past year.
Are you kidding me? Any one of those 61 million people could have taken an illicit drug laced with fentanyl. As I read this I am starting to realize no risk is too great to help someone or scores of people. And I also wanted to emphasize to “normal” people that my unique experience qualifies me more than anyone to viscerally know what works and what doesnt.
The fact that I went from the absolute extreme, close to death to the highest natural highs. I probably know a lot more than the doctors that get 10 million hits. They never personally slayed any dragons or faced the kind of adversity I did. They didnt go from literally the highest “highs” to the lowest lows. They werent dealing with a brain that was conditioned and used to an unrealistic amount of happy chemicals created by illicit drugs over many years. To be clear that was 7 years from my teens to my mid 20’s and ended 43 years ago.
I remember telling myself “you have had so many unnatural highs you might not be happy for at least a year or more so just get on it, run, read every book on the planet, eat perfectly and accept its going to take time. And if you are still unhappy you can go back to drugs or kill yourself but give it your all for at least a few years”. Its funny I am just remembering that now. My recovery wasnt a walk in the park. In fact the numbers of people that accomplished what I did is miniscule. Most people who came from where I came from died and the few that didnt die, certainly didnt go on to be successful in any way shape or form. if they survived at all they are probably half dead alcoholics.
A few notable exceptions being Keith Richards, Russel Brand, Robert Downey Jr, Eric Clapton and me.
In fact I did pick up hepatitis C, which also should have also killed me. But I didnt drink for the past forty years and took all kinds of supplements to sustain my diseased liver. In fact I used IV glutathione and NAC to help my liver thrive. My heptalogist said my liver would be a constant issue for me. However I went from stage 3 cirrohsis to a perfectly normal liver. Which according to the doctors is impossible, but of course I didnt know that and neither did my liver. Can you imagine a conventional doctor giving you IV vitamins in the 80’s? I also needed to learn a thing or two about how to not only feel good naturally but how to get “high” naturally.
Well I literally just googled that now. Wow if I knew then what I know now, maybe I wouldnt have even tried to get better. Most of what I read said it isnt reversible and I should have died in as little as two years.
What a bunch of morons conventional doctors can be. My liver MRI after treatment was perfectly normal. I even said ” perfectly normal for someone who has hepatitis C for 30 years? He said no perfectly normal for a normal person. So I guess I know way more than the most prestigious institutions in the United States.
I used the worst drugs available on the planet in those days, IV heroin and cocaine, the deadly combination that killed John Belushi. I dont mind saying it now because it was literally 43 years ago. That was long before most people reading this were even born. I stopped so long ago it was before Richard Pryor lit himself on fire free basing, it was before crack. I dont even know what those things are. In fact I went to rehab around the time of the Betty Ford clinic 1980. I was way ahead of my time. I was in rehab when John Lennon was shot.
The only reason I got out was that I had integrity. I did not, and do not, have the capacity to lie. The moment in my mind was like a lightening bolt. Well there were quite a few moments. Overdosing didnt bother me, getting arrested didnt, almost getting killed didnt, but this one event did. I was constantly borrowing money, and faithfully paying it back, but one week I forgot I had a lawyers bill. I got arrested and thrown in the infamous tombs for 3 days.
I had borrowed money from a family friend’s father. I was friendly with his 4 children. I was mortified even though he said it was no big deal. It was a few hundred dollars but more than overdosing or almost getting shot and killed a few times, it made me realize I was too far gone to fix myself on the outside with methadone and counseling so I decided to put myself in rehab.
It was monumental in my mind. I told my father I had stolen some silver from the house and I borrowed money that I couldnt pay back when I said I would. He said I was doing great and did not need to go to a rehab. ( I was going to counseling and I was on methadone) But I told him that my mind might have been twisted by methadone ( as the rehab we interviewed suggested) , but I knew one thing for certain that I wasnt raised to lie or steal. We had already interviewed at AREBA, or Casriel Institute. Accelerated re education of emotions behaviors and attitudes. It sounded exactly right to me given what I had done. And they of course were selling hard to us.
It was probably harder for my parents than me. It couldnt have been easy for my parents to explain where their son had gone for six months. Sadly a lot of people there were dishonest. But my six months there was probably good because it got me started. Plus I had no idea how difficult getting off of 80 mg of methadone would be. I remember I gave them my weekend dose thinking they would allow me to split it up to ease my detox. Because nobody goes from 80 mg to zero without medical supervision and drugs. No such luck they gave me nothing and hard core detox began. I needed 12 blankets at night and didnt sleep a wink. I remember seeing literally every single minute on the clock from the moment I laid down until I got up from bed in the morning. I asked for a sleeping pill because it was at least 2 weeks I hadnt slept a wink and I was going crazy. they gave me a benadryl (a friggin allergy pill)
Its funny I spent the past 45 years looking so forward in my life, that as I write this i am remembering things that I had literally completely forgot about. Like not having slept one minute for 2 weeks. I remember watching the digital clock, there wasnt a minute that I missed.
I also walked around during the day indoors wearing a ski jacket. I was chilled to the bone. But from what I had read it actually wasnt so bad. I wasnt vomiting or anything like that just freezing, no sleep and chilled to the bone. Actually I forgot whether it was my dad or me but we had read 20,000 mg of vitamin C would help. And it probably did because I had a huge bag of vitamin c pills from which I took 20 a day and I didnt get sick. It was unheard of to go from 80mg to Zero.
Actually a funny anecdote. Since we were learning how to deal with our feelings, we were not allowed to lose our temper. We had to control anger and we were allowed to confront eachother once a week at “confrontation” group. So we all sat in a room in our chairs. The rules were you could yell and scream and curse however loud you wanted to, at whoever you wanted to, but you couldnt leave your chair. Boy there were some really unhinged moments where someone was hanging on to their chair while they were bobbing back and forth screaming, practically carrying their chair. I remember one week. Ricky started screaming at me. It was like “john aslanian you are the biggest fukin liar and on and on he totally lost it because apparently he had really suffered during his detox and as I said, other than freezing to death and not sleeping, I wasnt sick. I calmly replied. I have no idea what you are talking about I havent slept for 2 weeks and I am freezing to death and my bones hurt, maybe it was the vitamin C, why would I lie about that? It was my one and only experience with detoxing. But it was kind of funny in retrospect.
I was also lucky because I knew my family had no money. There was a guy there who was heir to the Coca Cola fortune and had a trust fund. I thought there but for the grace of god go I. I knew that I had no choice, I had to work and earn a living. My family did not have the kind of money where I expected anything at all. Heck I remember when I was in 9th grade my little grey gym uniform got washed with my sister’s red sweat shirt and all of my things came out pink, sweat pants sweat shirt tshirt and shorts. There was no doubt that $2 for a new shirt, $3 for shorts, and another $10 for sweats wasnt in the budget, so I was the kid with the pink gym uniform. And when I went to George Washington University in the early 70’s and tuition surpassed $1000 a semester, we discussed I might have to drop out. So, no, I wasnt from a “wealthy” family. Yes I was relatively priviliged, but anyone reading this who isnt one of the 3 billion who live on less than $2 a day is priviliged.
Lucky I am a hairy Armenian so the only question about my pink gym uniform and my manliness was why I had a full beard and was shaving when I was only 16. So I felt pretty secure about it all. But not having a choice is great for motivation. I had two possible directions success or death and I was scared. I wanted to be as far as possible from drugs. I didnt even have any sugar or meat for quite a few years. I figured that would be my biggest “fall” or the worst thing I could do. That my biggest transgression would be sugar or meat or white starches/carbs. I wanted to be a million miles away from drugs.
Back to what made me. So I made my mind up to do rehab quickly and come out the other side as the healthiest person on the planet. I put myself away on Pearl Harbor day 1980 December 7th. John Lennon was shot shortly thereafter. I started jogging to speed up detox. Little did I realize that was not going to be possible, at least not while detoxing, LOL.
I also decided I wasnt getting sober to live a normal boring life. There probably is something wrong with my brain because I have always constantly craved excitement, endorphins, dopamine. I have never invested “safely” Nor have I played it safe. Even today at my ridiculously old chronological age I am still on a mission to stay young healthy and wealthy and do things people 50 years younger than me would never consider doing, nor could I imagine the boredom of retiring or even working for someone else so that my ideas dont matter.
Although my job is beauty, I have also researched supplements extensively, I am uniquely qualified to teach happiness. You dont go from not caring if you overdose or die to pure happiness without learning how, physically, mentally, nutritionally.
I attended every Anthony Robbins seminars in the 80s. I listened to hundreds of cassette tapes every day on personal development. I read every Norman Vincent Peale book on the Positive Principle. I tried self hypnotism I read books on self talk. I took the Dale Carnegie course. Read every Wayne Dyer book. Transcendental Meditation, Visualization, Shatki Gawain, Maxwell Maltz, PsychoCybernetics, Silva Method Seminars, Self Hypnosis, Harville Hendrix, John Grey, Steven Covey, Napolean Hill, Og Mandino, I extensively studied the Sedona Method for decades and am currently taking the coaching course. Lifetime learning is my goal and I love to give it back out in small bite sized chunks the way we all like to hear it.
My friends constantly tell me something I have told them years or even decades ago changed their life and that I should write a book. But ironically no one likes my long emails. So I write them now in reverse. The important stuff or conclusion is short and on top with discussion below and links all throughout. If I help one person my mission is accomplished.
PS I am probably the most uniquely qualified to teach happiness. Maybe this will help you understand my inclination towards the “negative” Senior thesis High School, Did Jesus Christ Exist? First year English thesis in College “was Edgar Allan Poe and Opium Addict?” That summer Outward Bound Survival Camp for 30 days in the Boundary Water Canoe area between Minnesota and Canada. It was hard core back then. Two kids died out of my group of 30. But if the absolute test of human endurance wasnt tested and your life wasnt on the line they didnt believe hard core learning and change was possible. But think about the negativity. What 17 year old kid would write that kind of thesis? I was truly damaged in pain and seeking attention.
I went from IV drugs to IV vitamins. I went from earning less than $200 a week to almost $900,000 a year. (my written goal was $200,000 a year, I had no clue how, while I was making $200 a week and scared shitless, because my only priority was staying sober) I went sky diving with the old style parachutes not tandem, had to learn how to fall hard, steer, avoid the ocean the power lines, the trees. It was a whole day of training. and the. steering was so bad my roommate from college broke his ankle on our first jump. But today my point of view is actually helpful. I see right through much of the bullshit on line. I can see the converse of what even some of the most famous teach. I can also help to decipher what works and what is the least you need to “get it”
I did all the Anthony Robbins seminars in the early 80s from the 3 day weekends to Date with Destiny and Two weeks in Hawaii which had a 30 foot fire walk.
I became president of the company, negotiated with one of the largest most powerful unions in the country, the Printers Union. Ran for United States Congress in 2010. Ran for NJ State Congress in 2011. Ran 5 miles a day from 1980 to 2005. Spent years doing Transcendental Meditation. Went on Yogic retreats. Did Sedona method for decades and recently completed Sedona certification for coaching. My mind is so quiet today I dont even need a mantra when I meditate I prefer silence and no thoughts. In fact I recently have attained total peace and joy. I feel like a yogi. Its the most surreal experience. I write about it also in my posts on listening, my brain is absolutely quiet, no self talk at all. Its like I am meditating all day long as I do things.
When I left New York city in 2003 I donated the contents of my apartment and left with merely my clothes. According to my receipt from Salvation Army I donated over 2000 books. Every single one was on motivation, happiness, or health.
After rehab I actually moved into my parents house for a while and saved every penny of my $200 a week salary. But it was less than ten years later that I was taking Private Jets to Caso De Campo, and renting multi million dollar homes in the Hamptons (when the most expensive house on Dune Rd in South Hampton was less than 5 million) Actually the house we rented for $100,000 back then was literally on the corner of Dune Road and Halsey Lane in South Hampton. Anyone who knows South Hampton will immediately get it. For those who dont, lets put it this way across the street was the CEO of CBS, Bill Paley.
For volunteer work with New York cares I picked running with the Achilles Club in NYC. and I have a few stories about that as well. I say from real life experience what brought me joy and what didnt. It wasnt what I thought. In fact the most miserable moment in my life was looking out over Manhattan from my apartment on the 33rd floor with 10 foot ceilings and 3 marble bathrooms and views forever, at 9pm on a Friday night all alone, feeling more lonely then ever while I was earning around $80,000 a month. I remember when I bought my porsche for over $80,000 I said to myself. Obviously I am not spending too much I am merely spending one months salary on my car. PS that car sucked.
My most fun car was my Smart Car. When you drive a Porsche all the guys stick their head in your window and think they are your friend and want to ask you questions, and all the girls just think you have a small penis. When I drove the Smart car I was admired for being environmental and it was more of an oddity and everyone loved that car, as did I because all of New York was my parking space. I merely needed 106 inches or just over 8 feet. For perspective my jaguar is 17 feet long. The average car length is 15 feet. Enough on my past, lets jump into it. I will incorporate those stories in real life experiences in Happiness
I started this in 2016 because one day my friend Randy asked me to explain hormones to him. I spent an hour and bookmarked many pages and sent it to him. That afternoon Keith asked me the same question. I thought how silly why dont I save this information somewhere and I can just point next time. It is my personal filing cabinet. I dont expect anyone to find it. I then thought it would be great to talk about the beauty treatments so I called it free health and beauty secrets. So today in 2023 I am not monetized at all. But I write for the sake of writing what my soul is saying and what my real brain is creating. I listen to youtube these days and honestly without naming names, some of these guys really milk it. Do they get paid for the amount of time someone spends on site? I really have no clue even how to monetize if I wanted to. But first I want to make this so much better, easily accessible, properly tagged and maybe punctuated and spell checked LOL. I am doing this for pure reasons. I have the kind of faith people talk about. I will figure out our business and other things when I need to. In the mean time it is so joyful to write and create ideas, or thoughts I have not seen anywhere else before. Its so much fun to put thoughts together in ways unexpected to create even better and quicker results. Again, where is this all going? Right now I dont know. But I know I have friends I have helped who took certain supplements, or their mom took supplements I recommended or they have been jogging for the past 15 years or they repeat back to me things I told them 15 years ago. So this all has happened without me writing anything. So lets see where this goes. Its not a glitzy presentation. In fact there are probably still grammar and or spelling mistakes. Obviously I dont retouch myself because that would make the whole thing a lie. I noticed I even had a dirty shirt on LOL, because I wanted to quickly update with a current photo, so I just quickly shot one. If that is your criteria you came to the wrong place. I am going for great solutions to the most vexing problems in the fastest possible way. Its simply real and down to earth I hope it helps you. And if you read this far, you probably do “get it” I chose to be an expert on health happiness and beauty and studied it relentlessly for almost 5 decades. That is what I know to the exclusion of everything else. I cant even name 3 football or baseball teams. I have no idea what sport season it is. But I do know all of the beauty treatments, a lot about happiness and brain chemistry and love supplements and learn even more every day. So that is my expertise Health Happiness and Beauty.
