Cellulite? No Problem

Summer is the time when we notice the changes we’d like to make in our bodies. It’s only natural, when more of our skin is showing. We see it while relaxing on the beach, walking by a store window and getting dressed in front of our mirrors at home. But summer can also be the time for improving some of these features.

 

This time of year, many of you lament the dreaded cellulite. It’s one of the most prevalent concerns, with 85 percent of women aged 20 and older complaining about these dimples and bumps. Diet and exercise can help reduce your weight but neither can help you get rid of cellulite.

 

There is a solution, though. We offer laser treatments that can help smooth, lift and contour your body. The Cellulaze Laser can dramatically reduce the appearance of cellulite on your abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks and arms. It’s a minimally invasive approach to attacking this “cottage cheese” right where it begins, in the subdermal layers of the skin.

 

How does cellulite form, anyway?

These depressions in the skin are caused by several physiological changes as women age. First, the tissue underneath the skin hardens. Second, there is an increase in the quantity or size of fat cells pushing up through the tissue beneath the skin. Also, weight gain and aging causes stretching of the thin connective tissue under the skin.

 

How does the Cellulaze Laser treatment work?

Cellulaze uses a multi-dimensional approach to specifically target the dermal layers where cellulite is located. The treatment can be performed under local anesthesia in about one to two hours, depending on the size of the areas to be treated.

 

What is the specific process?

  • The Cellulaze laser is inserted under the skin with a very small cannula (a narrow tube about the size of the tip of a pen).
  • The cannula directs a controlled laser thermal energy to the treatment zone using a proprietary ThermaGuide and SmartSense intelligent energy delivery system to ensure safe, effective and uniform laser controls.
  • The laser diminishes the lumpy pockets of fat, releases the areas of skin depression and increases the elasticity and thickness of the skin.

 

What results can you expect?

The Cellulaze Laser is the most advanced laser treatment available. This treatment flattens and smoothes the skin’s surface because it increases thickness and elasticity from below. It is backed by many years of clinical research to give proven results, lasting for a year or longer.

Midsummer’s Day Dream

Close your eyes and think of one thing about your appearance that you’d like to change. I bet that there is something, since most everybody has a wish list of some kind. The exciting news is that your day dream can probably be a reality.

 

Whether it is the hollowing of your cheeks that has occurred in the last year or so, or the double chin that persists despite your highly toned body, or those pockets of fat that just won’t go away despite your dieting and exercise, we have solutions that will fulfill your wishes for how you want to look.

 

Not too long ago, you couldn’t fill lost volume with RestylaneJuvederm or Voluma. Or minimize submental fat under your chin with Kybella or eradicate actual fat cells with SmartLipo Triplex. In recent years, cosmetic treatments have given you the opportunity to restore your youthful appearance, appear rested and refreshed and feel simply great about yourself.

 

So, as summer hits its stride, why not dream a little? It’s a great season to wish for what you want.

 

Call our office today to schedule a complimentary consultation. We’ll talk about your specific wants and desires and help plan a course to satisfy them as best we can.

 

Meantime, remember the sunscreen.

 

See you soon.

 

Recharge Those Eyes

When you really want to know how someone feels, you look into his eyes. They can often hold the answers to many mysteries. Unfortunately, they can be a lot more obvious about your age.

 

The skin surrounding your eyes, because it is so delicate, is at risk for a multitude of cosmetic problems that make you look older than you are. And, because this area is involved in facial expression, the natural movement of the skin causes lines and wrinkles to form over time. Crow’s feet, additional lines and wrinkles underneath the lower lashes, dark circles, hollowing, drooping lids and puffiness all contribute to a tired appearance. Perhaps you’ve tried creams that claim to tighten skin or cold tea bags and cucumbers that temporarily reduce fluid retention, but the concerns remain.

 

We offer a range of nonsurgical treatments that will help return a well-rested look to your eyes and therefore, your face. Depending on your individual needs, we can craft a personal plan that will help you look refreshed and more youthful, with minimal downtime and recuperation.

Stop the Vanity: How to Improve Your Looks, Within Reason

All good things, taken too far, can become, well, not so good. Too much steak, too many luxuries, too much confidence. And in the case of cosmetic treatments, too much fiddling with your natural good looks.

 

The archetypical theme of “virtue turned to vice” can easily be applied to what we do. Moderation, as it is in so many other areas of our lives, is the key to success, and it is our personal mantra. Often, we find ourselves advising you to restrain from doing too much and instead, take the less-is-more approach.

 

So, how do you know when you have done just enough to enhance your appearance? Cosmetic treatments are a terrific way to refresh your look and can help you to feel younger, more vibrant and energized. They can be transforming, physically and emotionally. As you consider your options, it’s important to know why you are thinking about having a procedure done. If you are coming to see us because you have a specific concern about a specific area of your body, that is the optimal reason to have treatment. But, if you see this experience as a way to solve other issues in your life–ones that are not directly connected to physical appearance–then you might get those thoughts in order first.

 

We offer a unique, individualized and thorough consultation that will help us help you determine your reasons for coming to us. (Granted, we are happy to report, most of you seek us out for the very best reasons.) And, we will define for you the likely results so that your expectations are realistic.

 

So, whether you are a first-time client who is curious about Botox or dermal fillers, such as Restylane or Juvederm, or you are a returning client who wants to maintain a fresh and youthful glow, perhaps with a nonsurgical Facelift, or you are someone who is frustrated by extra pounds that diet and exercise can’t minimize and has decided to try SmartLipo Triplex, we can help you sort out your best options for improvement. Most important, we will trust our years of expertise and philosophy of natural good looks as we guide you along the way.

 

To find out more, call one of our offices for a complimentary consultation. Summer is a great time to devote to yourself.
