What
is SmartLipo?
SmartLipo is a remarkable method for
removing unwanted body fat
through a low-pain, highly efficient process.
Instead of the bulky tubes and uncomfortable
office visits required of traditional liposuction,
SmartLipo utilizes smaller instruments and specialized
technology to zap fat cells for contouring and
reshaping areas of the body including the abdomen,
love handles, backs, thighs, hips, knees, arms,
neck, and chin.
It is important
to recognize that though SmartLipo is highly
effective, it is only appropriate for patients
wishing to lose small amounts of fat, or up
to about 8 pounds. SmartLipo will not provide
satisfactory results for persons needing to
lose significant amounts of body fat - such
patients require traditional liposuction or
alternate methods for weight loss.
How does
SmartLipo work?
Through
a special laser similar to that used in cataract
surgery, fat cells are targeted and the sound
energy literally dissolves the cells on contact.
A gentle suction then massages the dissolved
fat out of the body. A very small percentage
is retained, absorbed into the body, and excreted
as waste within 24 hours.
Worries about the safety
of the laser should be quelled - the laser can
easily differentiate between fat cells and other
tissues including nerves, blood vessels, and
connective tissues.
What
are Facial Fillers?
Facial fillers are injections which fill out
wrinkled or uneven areas of the face. They include
Restylane, Collagen, Perlane, Sculptra and even
your own tissues taken from another part of
your body.
Many of us notice
fine lines developing on the face in our thirties.
These can often be the result of muscular activity
or sagging. The lines that form on your face
are areas where the body's own collagen has
thinned and broken leaving a depressed line.
The wrinkles around
the eye can often be due to muscle activity
and may be improved with Botox. If the lines
are very deep or are due to skin sagging e.g.
the lines that run from the nose to the corners
of the mouth (nasolabial folds), then a filler
may often soften or sometimes even eliminate
the line. The filler is injected into the skin
itself to plump up the depressed line in the
skin. When the lips are injected we place the
filler on the inside of the lip to turn it out
a little.
What
is Fractional Laser Resurfacing?
The latest revolutionary technology in skin
rejuvenation, the Fractional Skin Resurfacing
Laser, treats wrinkles, stretch marks, scars,
and skin imperfections such as acne scarring,
uneven skin tone, and brown spots due to sun
damage. The non-invasive fractional laser produces
tiny microthermal treatment zones, penetrating
deep into the dermis and leaving the surrounding
skin unaffected and intact. This ?fractional?
treatment allows the skin to heal much faster
using the body?s natural healing process to
create new, healthy, tighter tissue. Clinical
studies suggest a treatment regimen of 5 sessions,
spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart, for optimum
results.
How does
Fractional Resurfacing work?
The Fractional laser treatment produces thousands
of tiny microthermal zones in the skin which
then allows generation of new collagen cells.
The result creates a more youthful and vibrant
appearance to the skin, minimizing skin imperfections.
What
is N-Lite?
The N-Lite laser stimulates your natural collagen.With
this unique stimulation, the wrinkle resolution
results previously seen only in the most aggressive
laser or chemical peel process can be approached
in a 90 day window with "no patient downtime.
How does
N-Lite work?
The gentle, yellow light of the NLite laser
penetrates the epidermis (the skin's surface)
and heats up the dermis (subcutaneous tissue)
thereby stimulating your body's fibroblast production:
WHEN it works, the fibroblasts (collagen) actually
builds up as it once was and the wrinkles are
filled in from within. Resulting in a more youthful
appearance.
What
is CoolTouch "Laser Toning"?
The N-Lite laser stimulates your natural collagen.With
this unique stimulation, the wrinkle resolution
results previously seen only in the most aggressive
laser or chemical peel process can be approached
in a 90 day window with "no patient downtime.
What
are Oxygen Facials?
Oxygen is literally pressed into the skin as
it changes from liquid into a gas upon application,
which in turn stimulates blood circulation,
while deep cleaning and
restoring a healthy glow.
What
are Custom Skin Peels?
Help regain the smooth, healthy complexion you
desire. Most often used to treat wrinkles, pigmentation
and skin changes.
What
are Laser Spider Vein Removal?
Removes spider veins and generalized
redness along with brown spots associated with
sun damage.
