Riverside Drs and Health Practioners

The technicians and aestheticians at Rejuvenate Redlands devote themselves to stymying time's negative effects on the face and body with innovative, safe techniques. Wrinkles and sagging skin meet with nonsurgical face-lifts that naturally lift and tighten the skin with gentle heating, and hair restoration services restore thick locks with transplants that eschew scalpels and mammoth fur wigs. Dedicated to finding the right treatment for each client, the team conducts free consultations before every procedure.

Rim Marcinkus, MD, PhD, DSc, earned his doctor of medicine and doctor of science in surgery degrees at Vilnius University in Lithuania, where he went on to complete a PhD in scientific research. Practicing plastic surgery for more than 25 years, he has published articles in experimental- and clinical-surgery journals and more progressive issues of Mad magazine. The industry innovator also holds a registered patent for the Eurolift procedure, an advanced technique designed to lift the face by tightening skin and muscles that have loosened due to age or hilly rides in a convertible.

At his Desert Plastic Surgery Center in Rancho Mirage, Dr. Marcinkus specializes in breast enhancements, body sculpting, and hair transplantation, alongside a wide variety of other surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. He seeks out the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques, including full body-lifts after weight-loss surgery, Botox, and dermal fillers. Dr. Marcinkus performs most procedures himself within his in-office surgical suite, caring for his patients' needs before, during, and after treatment.

At Desert Health & Wellness, Dr. Ron Ristaino and his staff eschew diet gimmicks in favor of nutrition plans that incorporate fresh, natural foods. The center's weight-loss programs focus on balancing hormones and reducing cravings without forcing clients to count calories or skip meals. The wellness team also tackles existing fat with a specially designed body wrap developed by a UCLA biochemist, as well as noninvasive LipoLaser treatments. In addition to slimming physiques, Dr. Ristaino and his staff reduce stress via infrared therapy, which helps to prevent stress-related problems such as high blood pressure, obesity, and broken Rubik's cubes.
