About Us

The Laser Solutions Medical Spa and Weight Loss Center of Arkansas Difference

Our clinic is committed to the long-term safety and well-being of each and every one of our patients. We believe that a dedication to patient safety and comfort, before, during and after patient interactions is of paramount importance. We also know that while it is ultimately up to the patient to achieve excellent results, we can certainly help. That is where, we believe, the difference lies between our program and many others around the country. We believe that by joining our program, you will experience a dramatic difference in care. When you decide to have us help you achieve your goals with us you can expect:

 

  • A focus on your safety. We place your safety above all else

 

  • Individual care. Medically supervised weight loss is not a one-size-fits-all solution to obesity and its related diseases. We create individual and unique plans of action for each of our patients.

 

 

A thorough evaluation and preoperative testing to determine which techniques are right for you. Full explanation of the program and options are presented in a concise manner during a free consultation. Aspects directed at body areas that are resistant can be addressed with new body sculpting techniques are fully explained. Test procedures for body sculpting, hair removal, skin therapy are included during the free consultation.

 


 

  • A dedicated and knowledgeable staff to fully explain options for hormonal replacement and the potential benefits to weight loss and lifestyle these techniques can have. Appropriate testing to determine the right amount of replacement is performed and reviewed and the options/ advantages of the various modalities explained. If bio-identical pellets are preferred the simple office-based procedure can be performed quickly to provide a longer acting and more stable hormone replacement in most cases.

 


 

  • Dr. Russell Gornichec is a retired surgeon with a specialty in weight loss and aesthetics. Twenty years of surgical weight loss experience has given Dr. Gornichec a unique perspective on what can be utilized for successful weight loss. He continues to provide ongoing aftercare for all surgical weight loss patients to include nutritional assessment, Lap-Band adjustments and with special attention to avoid weight regain. currently he has decided to concentrate his efforts on medically supervised weight loss using an individualized approach for both new patients and those surgical weight loss patients that have regained preoperative weight.   


  • Dr. Gornichec has always been at the leading edge of surgical intervention for obesity. In 2003, he performed the first laparoscopic gastric bypass in Edmond, Oklahoma and in 2010 he performed the first robotically assisted weight loss surgery in Oklahoma. He then moved his practice to Arkansas and Indiana. Now he has returned to Hot Springs, Arkansas to concentrate on a non-surgical career providing weight loss, laser skin therapy, cosmetic aesthetics and Body sculpting techniques.


  • Dr. Gornichec has been providing neuromodulator injections using Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport products for some time now. He is also fully trained to provide dermal filler applications to give patients a more youthful appearance should they desire. If patients have experienced a diminished response to neuromodulator injections or simply wish to avoid this approach he can explain many of the newer non-surgical skin rejuvenation techniques to address fine lines and wrinkles. These techniques utilize radio frequency applications that have shown to increase collagen in the underlying dermal region and may provide the benefits of fat reduction, skin tightening and skin rejuvenation without the need for repetitive expensive invasive products. There are multiple options to address aesthetic needs and everyone should discuss the various techniques with an unbiased provider before deciding their best course of actions. Our clinic may not offer all the techniques available but can help someone make an informed decision and possibly refer a patient to another provider should that be in the best interest of the individual.


 


No matter what practice you choose as your provider please remember that ultimately you are putting your trust in a group that will be an integral part of your success. Avoid programs and clinics only interested in providing the services they offer without a complete discussion regarding all the options currently available (even services they don’t provide). Many clinics will encourage you to proceed with a proposed treatment course without appropriate analysis and skin testing to gauge your response and seem to be more interested in services rendered than successful outcomes.

Avoid clinics and programs that don’t take the time to discuss the potential adverse affects and possible failure rates before signing you up for long term treatment protocols.

Whether you are interested in weight loss, hormone replacement, Botox/ dermal filler intervention, body sculpting, laser skin therapy, laser hair removal or other service we provide rest assured that you should have any potential therapy fully explained prior to initialization. This includes the potential adverse reactions and possible failure of the initial plan.

Sometimes a proposed intervention does not have the desired affect and an alternative intervention can be made available. Without proper discussion of these facts before-hand patients may become discouraged and decide to discontinue the program if they are not aware that alternate therapies may exist. A clear understanding of all the options can help to avoid many frustrations and false expectations.

Please take the time to evaluate your options, learn more about the practices you’re considering and make the best choice for your particular situation.
