Thermage and Exilis – Powerful Solutions to Treat Sagging Skin

Sagging skin is a natural part of the aging process, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it as an inevitable part of your life. Non-invasive treatments like Thermage and Exilis have emerged as game-changers in the world of skin rejuvenation, offering effective solutions for those seeking to combat sagging skin.

 

Thermage is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to target the skin’s deep layers. It works by delivering controlled RF energy deep into the skin, heating the collagen-rich layers. This heat stimulates collagen production, which gradually tightens and firms the skin over time. The gradual improvement achieved with Thermage ensures that your results appear natural. You won’t have that “pulled” or “frozen” look often associated with surgical procedures. Thermage is effective for treating sagging skin on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, and abdomen. It can address concerns like jowls, loose skin on the abdomen, and wrinkled necklines.

 

Exilis is another non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses a combination of RF energy and ultrasound to address sagging skin. The procedure employs a unique combination of RF and ultrasound energy, allowing it to target both the superficial and deep layers of the skin. This dual energy approach maximizes collagen stimulation to produce dramatic results without surgery or downtime.

 

If sagging skin has been a concern for you, Thermage and Exilis both offer a non-invasive, comfortable, and effective solution. These treatments stimulate collagen production, providing natural and long-lasting results.

Reshape and Minimize with Exilis Ultra 360

In New York, the winter climate protects us from showing off skin and shape that we may not love. Layers of clothing help to hide what we perceive as imperfections, and we become experts at the illusion. When it is cold and snowy, we know how to trick the eye.

Then comes spring. And summer.

Forget the tricking. It’s time to do something real. If diet and exercise have not helped these past few months, you might consider Exilis Ultra 360, one of our most popular non-invasive body contouring and skin tightening laser treatments. Without any anesthesia or downtime, we can improve the appearance of your skin and reduce your size–anywhere on your body–in just a few short visits. Many people choose Exilis for minimizing stubborn fatty deposits on the face, jowls, neck, chest, back, “love handles,” “bra fat,” abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks and knees. The results get better with each treatment, and they are lasting. You will love the way you look, particularly on the beach.

With the official start of summer a few weeks away, you might want to consider Exilis Ultra 360. There is still time before that bikini goes on for the first time. Call our office for a consultation, and I’ll be happy to devise a treatment plan that is right for you.

Beware the Dreaded Droop

It is not something that you write in your calendar: “Skin sagging, August 17.” It is something that creeps up over time, sneakily, until one day, you notice.

 

The skin that used to appear taut and firm has begun to droop. You know that your body’s production of collagen has slowed, but you didn’t realize what exactly this process would do. Collagen, the natural anchoring substance under the skin, gives you a youthful and lifted appearance. But as it depletes, whether by simple aging or hereditary and environmental factors, your skin may begin to sag. Combined with the gradual decrease in elastin, the material that provides suppleness and resilience, your skin loses its tension and spring.

 

No area of your body, it seems, is safe. You may experience sagging in the face, neck, eyelids, abdomen, arms, legs and buttocks. While no nonsurgical treatment can reverse the condition entirely, many can drastically improve your appearance. We offer safe and effective treatments that will help your skin look younger and tighter.

 

Here are a few:

 

Thermage CPT is a thermal lift that is particularly effective for reducing loose skin around the eyes.

 

Exilis Ultra 360 is a treatment that combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to offer maximum power and targeted control, so that we focus on only the areas that need help.

 

INFINI is a high-energy radiofrequency device that smooths wrinkles and plumps skin. It is also particularly helpful for minimizing acne scarring.

 

Fraxel Repair is a laser that works on reducing deep lines, hard-to-erase lip lines, pronounced photodamage, sagging face and neck skin, facial wrinkles and discolorations, age-related/sun-damaged rough skin texture, acne scars and surgical scars.

 

SmartLipo Triplex is a laser treatment that removes fat and tightens skin at the same time.

 

Kybella is a treatment that we use to minimize submental fat, more commonly known as the “double chin.”

 

If sagging skin is a concern for you, come in and talk with us about how we can help you feel better. Our consultations are complimentary, so call today to schedule an appointment.

To Sculpt Or Not To Sculpt

It is a big question for many of you. Particularly, if you’ve never had trouble losing weight by dieting and exercising, the thought of body sculpting may seem strange. But, it’s sometimes hard for some of us to improve our bodies without a little help.

 

Body shaping changes the size, profile and parameters of your anatomy, refining and sculpting areas that fail to respond to fewer calories and more time at the gym. My philosophy is to look at your body as a whole, not as a sum of parts, to create a natural and balanced silhouette that suits your frame. In our fully accredited facility, I utilize many state-of-the-art methods for doing this, including SmartLipo TriplexExilis Ultra 360Thermage CPT and Cellulaze.

 

What Will Body Sculpting Do For You?

  • tighten loose skin after dramatic weight loss
  • restore a pre-pregnancy body after childbirth
  • tighten up loose saggy skin and remove excess fat pockets
  • eliminate cellulite and the “dimples” it causes
  • give you a trim, firm and contoured body
  • boost self-confidence and esteem

 

When Is the Best Time for Body Sculpting?

First, it’s important that you are in good general health and are at a stable weight for at least three months. You may choose to have treatments on multiple body areas, and these may be done at the same time or at different times, depending upon your individual plan. We’ll help you decide what is best for you.

 

Here are some of the procedures that we perform right here in our office:

SmartLipo Triplex: This procedure is less invasive and more precise than traditional liposuction. It removes unwanted fat from specific body areas that have resisted even the strictest diets and toughest exercise regimens. The process actually melts fat, stimulates skin tightening and encourages collagen renewal, using three wavelengths of light and a tiny cannula the size of a small ballpoint pen tip. SmartLipo is particularly effective on the abdomen, neck, jawline, inner arms, male breasts, love handles, bra fat, inner/outer thighs, inner knees, chin, hips, buttocks, pubic mound and back of neck.

 

Exilis Ultra 360: This is a nonsurgical skin tightening treatment that reduces unwanted inches and lifts and contours sagging skin anywhere on your body.

 

Thermage CPT: A nonsurgical treatment that will transform skin all over your body, Thermage CPT will tighten loose skin on the eyelids, under-eye areas, abdomen, arms, legs and buttocks. It’s the most effective thermal lift treatment for a multitude of concerns, and it yields dramatic results without incisions and recuperation.

 

Cellulaze: This minimally invasive procedure melts excess fat under the skin and removes the fibrous bands that pull skin into a dimple. It helps to decrease the appearance of cellulite in the areas where it typically crops up–the buttocks, hips, thighs, arms and abdomen. Cellulaze also stimulates collagen production, which thickens your skin.

 

As the summer approaches, I look forward to helping you devise a personalized treatment plan for reshaping and contouring your skin. I know that you will love feeling younger, healthier and more vibrant. Call our office today to schedule a complimentary consultation, and we’ll talk about how we can help you look and feel your best.

Exilis Ultra 360, an Excellent Choice

Have you been wearing out the treadmill? Eating only cantaloupe for months? And still, not looking the way that you want to?

 

Sometimes, no matter what we do, our bodies don’t budge. We feel bad and embarrassed and spend too much time trying to camouflage our trouble spots. But body contouring can help, drastically. It is currently among the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, and it can give you the silhouette that diet and exercise have failed to provide.

 

We offer several options, the first of which is Exilis Ultra 360, the latest nonsurgical advancement in body shaping and among the most powerful fat reduction and skin tightening devices. The only treatment that combines radiofrequency and ultrasound, Exilis Ultra 360 is an FDA-approved procedure that offers real results without surgery (or anesthesia and incisions) and without downtime. We have used Exilis Ultra 360 to tighten skin and decrease inches in many problem areas, including the neck/jowls, arms, bra strap area, abdomen, “love handles,” male chest, thighs, hips, buttocks and knees.

 

Exilis Ultra 360 gives us maximum power with total control. Now we can safely, quickly and effectively deliver the right amount of targeted energy in order to tighten, firm and tone loose and sagging skin and reshape and melt stubborn fatty deposits anywhere on your face and body. You’ll notice a smaller size and a decrease in cellulite, and the results get better with time.

 

So, keep exercising and eating healthfully, but don’t despair. Come talk with us about Exilis Ultra 360 and hear how we can help you look and feel your best.

Beauty Time for New Moms

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are rough on your body, causing skin and shape issues that perhaps, you’ve never experienced before. Some of you may not be feeling like your old self, which can be disconcerting. So, after you’ve settled in to this new phase of life, it could be time to correct some of these concerns.

 

It’s not uncommon for young mothers to notice skin and stomach issues such as acne, acne scarring, melasma (darkened facial skin), cellulite, unwanted fat, unwanted hair growth, prominent facial blood vessels, loose skin, brown spots and stretch marks.

 

You may feel that you don’t have the time or energy to take care of yourself, or that doing so is too indulgent. But, feeling and looking as great as you can is critical for your self-esteem and general well-being at this exciting time.

 

Here are conditions that new moms often face and treatments that work well to minimize then and help you feel more like yourself in the process.

 

 

We can help you figure out a treatment plan that will help minimize some of these conditions. Call our office today to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Targeting the Waist Up

When it comes to making improvements on your bodies, you may spend a lot of time talking about your lower half. Many people, particularly women, focus on their lower abdomens, hips and legs. When spring turns to summer, though, and sleeveless tops take center stage in wardrobes, many of you ask me about cosmetic treatments for your upper body.

 

Here’s a quick look at what we can do to trim and tighten your torso and upper extremities:

 

For arms and elbows: To reduce fat, tighten and contour these areas, SmartLipo Triplex, Exilis Elite and Thermage CPT are effective treatments that can be done now, in the spring, with dramatic results. You may notice that your tricep looks droopy, or the spot above your elbow has lost its spring, or the skin in the crease appears crepey. You may also spot bulges in your underarm area. SmartLipo, Exilis Elite and Thermage CPT can help minimize unwanted fat and folds. Even if you do your weights and toning exercises, sometimes the skin doesn’t respond the way that you want it to, so these minimally invasive treatments could be options for you.

 

For bra and abdomen fat: Loose-fitting or thick sweaters provide great camouflage during winter and fall. But with temperatures starting to soar, this trick will cease to work. The season’s tiny tops, not to mention bathing suits, will have a hard time covering the excess flesh that protrudes from the top of and the bottom of your bra strap. Those back bulges disrupt your entire silhouette, but we have several treatments that will help reduce them. Along with Exilis Elite and Thermage CPT, SmartLipo is highly effective, as it will destroy fat cells permanently.

And Now, Your Neck: Option 5 – SmartLipo Triplex

Last week, you read about Exilis Elite, one of several effective nonsurgical options for an aging neck. This week, I’ll tell you about another successful treatment, SmartLipo Triplex.

 

You may be bothered by the tiny wrinkles that have formed over time on the delicate skin of your neck. It may look crepey rather than smooth and taut, and you may have taken to covering up this part of your body with scarves and turtlenecks. Though traditional surgery has been the go-to solution in the past, now we can eradicate the signs of aging with a less invasive procedure, SmartLipo Triplex.

 

Perhaps you’ve heard about this treatment before, or have even chosen it for reducing fat in other areas of your body, such as the stomach, waist, hips, legs or back. You may not realize that SmartLipo Triplex is highly effective for smoothing skin on the small area under your chin and on your neck. SmartLipo Triplex is an FDA-approved laser that offers precise high-definition body sculpting in targeted areas. Fat cells are virtually destroyed and skin is tightened, all in one treatment in our state-of-the-art office.

 

This laser method for fat removal and body sculpting has been used in Europe, Asia and South America for about 10 years and was approved by the FDA for use in the United States in 2006.

As with all of our treatments, a specific plan will be developed just for you, depending on your individual needs and concerns.

 

Call our office today to schedule a complimentary consultation.

 

Next week, we’ll talk about another safe and effective procedure for your neck…Fraxel Repair.
