NARRATOR: Health, Beauty, Life, the show was created to recognize and explore
trends in celebrity, food, beauty and fashion, health and fitness, travel and lifestyle.
Hosted by Patrick Dockry.
PATRICK DOCKRY: Hi everybody. Today we're here in La Jolla, the jewel of the sea.
We have another jewel, Dr. Tess Mauricio, and she was gracious enough to have us come down here.
And we're going to interview her and then I'm going to have a procedure done.
My life is in your hands basically, right?
DR. TESS MAURICIO: Well just your face. [laughs]
PATRICK: I'm okay with that.
DR. MAURICIO: Even more important I think. Well, welcome Patrick. I'm excited.
PATRICK: The thing is, not is she gorgeous, she's a genius.
You graduated summa *** laude, correct?
DR. MAURICIO: Yes, from UCSD, also right here in La Jolla.
I went to Stanford and met my husband there. We were classmates in medical school.
PATRICK: I met him and he's awesome everybody.
DR. MAURICIO: Yes, he's really cool...
PATRICK: Good looking. Genius.
DR. MAURICIO: [laughs] and we work on each other.
So just like Patrick, you're going to get to see me do one of the magic tricks
that we have called the Venus Freeze, and we'll keep Patrick looking young forever.
PATRICK: Well, we hope so.
You've done a lot of stuff yourself, so you advocate it and use it as well.
DR. MAURICIO: That's why I'm such a believer, Patrick.
When I go out there and I really talk about all of the great technology that we have now
so that we really can stop the deterioration that eventually happens to us with age
and eventually eats our confidence and that sexy feel.
It's really gradual, it happens gradually.
That's really the best part of my job is that you are restoring not just the outside,
but you're really restoring the inside.
I have women who come to me and they may be at the low point in their lives.
They've just gotten divorced or gotten over an illness or have taken of ill relatives,
and they're really at their low point.
They're looking at themselves in the mirror with wrinkles and saggy skin.
People are asking them if they're tired or they're sad, just because of how we age.
We can reverse all that, and then people start complimenting them.
People react to them differently, and it really, really can change the way they go about life.
So it's really working on the outside to affect the inside,
and I think that can really help inspire people and it's the best part of my job.
It really makes it all worthwhile.
PATRICK: For example, it's just like a charge. They're back to their old selves.
DR. MAURICIO: Right, and most women actually don't even realize
how much they've lost until we restore it.
I have many patients who tell me, "Gosh I didn't even think I could look like this again"
or "I've forgotten that I had this amazing body. I've forgotten that I had this small petite body.
I've forgotten that I have these huge eyes and beautiful lips."
All of that can be restored without going overboard and looking unnatural.
PATRICK: Not only do you have a lot of hidden talents that people don't know about
other than your gorgeousness, but you're doing some projects I'd like to hear about.
DR. MAURICIO: There are so many things. There are so many exciting things.
One is a talk show that I am co-hosting, and it's going to be nice because many people
have seen me on TV as the doctor.
But now it's going to be Dr. Tess as a person, because I have two kids, I'm a mom, I'm a wife,
and I have so many interests in fashion.
And you were commenting on my shoes.
PATRICK: And by the way guys, these shoes are amazing.
DR. MAURICIO: Don't ask me how many.
My husband doesn't want to know that, but I do work for shoes. I love fashion.
I'm telling you, I love hair and make-up
and I really think that this talk show will highlight all the other parts.
I love to sing. I love to dance, and I love to just have fun.
PATRICK: You love to enjoy life.
DR. MAURICIO: Exactly.
PATRICK: Well I was very impressed. The first time I met her I picked up on that.
I had no idea I was going to continue to work with her, but I couldn't stay away.
It was a natural attraction and I thought you were just amazing, so thanks for having us here.
DR. MAURICIO: Thank you Patrick.
Hopefully we'll get you back, but we still have the treatment to do.
PATRICK: We're going to go right now everybody.
We're going to actually go into the other treatment room. We have that set up.
We have that set up and you're going to work on me.
DR. MAURICIO: That's right. You'll get the expert's touch.
It's about 20 minutes, so it's really quick.
PATRICK: We're only going to do half and show. Exciting. Here we go.
We're back with my new best friend, Dr. Tess.
You know why she's my new best friend, because she's going to be doing something to me.
DR. MAURICIO: Right, because you're talking about you being bag-a-licious there.
We're going to try to work on the under eye area and you want to work a little bit here and here.
It's going to really plump you up.
What we're going to do is we're going to treat just the right side first with the Venus Freeze
and you'll see the magic working.
Patrick will become a believer and everyone else will become a believer,
and then I'll make him pay for the other side to make them even. [laughs]
PATRICK: It's like you rip a hundred dollar bill in half and you want the other half, call me.
DR. MAURICIO: That's what it is. So we're going to get started. Here it is.
Patrick, have you ever had any type of skin rejuvenation treatment?
PATRICK: Nothing. No. First time.
DR. MAURICIO: I know Patrick was pointing out his little brown sunspots and broken capillaries.
There's another treatment that we will be doing in the future for Patrick called Photo Facial.
That is intense pulse light plus radio frequency, and that will take care of the browns, the reds,
broken capillaries, because that's what ends up happening as we all age.
So here is the Venus Freeze. This is my favorite toy right now. Everyone's favorite.
Basically this can be done from head to toe.
So if Patrick can bust down his tummy, it can tighten the tummy for ladies.
We can treat arms, legs, the thighs, everything, but today we're going to treat Patrick's face.
PATRICK: She's like a drug dealer. She's going to get me addicted. The first one's free.
DR. MAURICIO: And we're only going to do half the face for free. The other one he's going
to have to drop off a ton of enjoy and skin joy.
So you can see that I'm just gliding along.
What this is doing is it is delivering little tiny electrical currents through these electrodes.
A little electrical current will travel from each of the electrodes,
transferring and going underneath the skin.
As it's doing that it's conducting heat.
And when you heat the skin you will instantly contract and plump the skin.
Then over time you're actually going to develop new collagen.
So over time this under eye area for Patrick is going to improve.
PATRICK: And you don't go under the knife, no anesthetics. This is amazing.
DR. MAURICIO: You can already start to see that there's going to be this mild pink redness
that is really temporary.
I even do the Venus Freeze right before I do any kind of TV or event or party
because it gives you that instant facelift tightening effect.
PATRICK: I can feel the warmth.
DR. MAURICIO: If you go close up on his skin, you can actually see.
We're going to check the temperature now.
We're at 101.6, so we're able to now raise it up to about 102, and our goal is about 105-106.
Smile Patrick. You can already see. We're basically about halfway done on the right side.
The under eye area. Give me a big smile Patrick. That's already better.
You don't have as many lines there.
The cheek fat pads are lifted, and then the jowls are higher and his face looks slimmer.
When we do this, the skin actually thinks there's been a slight injury
and its instant response is to lay down new collagen.
Well, we've finished with Patrick's right side.
Smile. There you go. You can really tell that this part, the right side is lifted.
The left side I still have to work on.
When Patrick's smiling you can see that the cheek is kind of pushing out.
Then he has this bulk here, whereas here it's really tight and lifted.
The jaw line is more defined. You can actually see the cheek fat pad. It's more flat.
That's lifted up there, and then the under eye area is a lot less puffy.
What did you think Patrick, because you saw yourself in the mirror now?
PATRICK: Yeah, I noticed the difference, but it feels tingly. It feels really tingly.
DR. MAURICIO: Because we definitely created heating there, and you're feeling that heating.
You also mentioned that it felt a little tighter.
PATRICK: Yeah, it feels tighter. You can feel the skin is toned up and tight,
and this is only my first treatment.
DR. MAURICIO: Right, it's your first treatment.
The other thing that I noticed is that the nasolabial fold, this is the part
that many people don't like,
and as we all age that gets deeper.
That's the part where we usually would normally put a filler, like Restyline.
You can see that with this treatment that has been minimized a lot, so we may not even
need to put any kind of filler there for Patrick as we continue with the treatment.
The skin is slightly pink and that's completely expected immediately after a treatment.
You've already noticed that even in the last couple of minutes that we've been hanging out
and analyzing it with a mirror, the redness and the pinkness has gone down.
So by the time everything wraps up here he's not going to be red anymore.
He's just going to look instantly good, even better and ready to do the rest of his shoot.
PATRICK: I'm just a little red, but I'm still alive and feeling good.
DR. MAURICIO: You look great.
PATRICK: The treatment was great.
DR. MAURICIO: That's right. Now you're excited, we're going to do some more.
We've got a lot planned for Patrick. Next time it's going to be a total makeover.
PATRICK: You'll see the transformation as I progress throughout the show.
DR. MAURICIO: Exactly. You're just going to see Patrick looking younger, glowing,
refreshed and not showing an ounce of tiredness or fatigue at all.
PATRICK: You know why? Because this lovely lady right here.
And until next everybody, thank you so much. Just remember to Enjoy.
