What is CoolSculpting®?

The Cool Solution is the More Natural Solution.

Procedures that use laser, sonic waves and even surgery to remove fat can actually destroy other tissue in the process by burning, shattering or extracting non-fat cells. This requires downtime for your body to heal. Totally uncool. Fortunately, CoolSculpting® doesn’t burn, shatter or extract any cells. Developed by Harvard scientists, our unique, FDA-cleared, patented procedure uses a targeted cooling process that kills the fat cells underneath the skin, literally freezing them to the point of elimination. Only fat cells are frozen. Your healthy skin cells remain, well, healthy. No knives. No suction hoses. No needles. No scars. Once crystallized, the fat cells die and are naturally eliminated from your body. In a few months, boom: say hello to a new you.

Benefits of CoolSculpting

Proven science and real results.

CoolSculpting®’s fat-freezing technology gives long-term results that make trouble spots a lot less troubling.

Fat cells don’t like the cold and at a certain temperature, they will freeze. Once that happens, your body will naturally eliminate the dead cells in 1-3 months or more, resulting in up to 20%-25% reduction of fat in a treated area.

Long term results are based on two case reports.

Minimal Downtime and Lasting Results

Unlike a lot of other procedures, CoolSculpting® takes very little time and is pretty simple to fit into your daily life. After your CoolSculpting® treatment you can typically get right back to your busy day. Each treatment lasts one hour – the same time you might spend at the gym. So you can easily fit your appointment into a lunch break.

After one visit, you’ll typically see a noticeable reduction of fat. It takes a few months to fully realize the effects, mainly because it takes that long for your body to naturally dispose of the fat cells. And yes, you can lose even more with additional appointments if you and your doctor deem it necessary.

So after a few months, your clothes will fit better and you will look better. As long as you maintain your normal diet and exercise, your long-term results should remain stable. Hello, you again. How cool is that?

How is CoolSculpting Performed?

Many of us have stubborn fat despite diet and exercise.

CoolSculpting technology uses controlled cooling to target and kill only these fat cells.

In the weeks to follow, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells.

CoolSculpting® procedure results are long-term, as treated fat cells are gone for good.

What to Expect During Your CoolSculpting® Consultation

We want to meet with you to identify goals, discuss the technology, provide general information, and make you feel as comfortable as possible. Every CoolSculpting® session is different—it all depends on your natural body shape and the specific areas of fat you are targeting.

Your treatment is completely customizable, and we will work with you to create a plan that’s quite literally made for you. Come prepared with these questions: Where do you want to reshape your body? Have you ever had a medical aesthetic procedure to improve your appearance? Would you consider having a nonsurgical fat reduction treatment? Are you generally at or near your ideal body weight but have areas of excess fat? Based on your answers, the CoolSculpting® procedure may be able to help you reduce your unwanted stubborn fat. We will then consider whether you could benefit from a CoolSculpting® treatment.

What are Injectables?

Fillers and Neurotoxins can be used to lift, volumize, and improve fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Whether creating a more chiseled jawline, improving under eye hollows, shaping a cheek, or plumping a lip, a complete understanding of anatomy and aging are essential for unimaginable outcomes.

We offer a variety of products based on need, desire and outcome.

Types of Injectables:

VERSA™ by Revanesse®

Have you been considering dermal filler for your lips or under eye area?  If so, you have a new option to consider! VERSA™, manufactured by the company Revanesse® is  hyaluronic acid dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is found within the body. It may be produced by bacteria and purified for use as injectable soft tissue filler in order to correct the appearance of facial wrinkles and creases. The treatment helps rejuvenate your facial appearance, giving you a glowing, more youthful look.

JUVÉDERM^® VYCROSS Family

JUVÉDERM^® VOLBELLA^™ – The latest FDA-approved injectable added to the JUVÉDERM^® family of dermal fillers. This non-surgical lip augmentation treatment is designed to plump the lips and minimize the appearance of fine lines around the mouth, also known as perioral rhytids or perioral lines.

JUVÉDERM^® VOLLURE^™– Gel is injected into the areas of facial tissue where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur, including the “parentheses lines” around the nose and mouth. JUVÉDERM VOLLURE^™ XC is designed to temporarily correct facial wrinkles for a smoother appearance to the face for adults over the age of 21. For the cheeks, lines, and lips.

JUVÉDERM^® VOLUMA^™ – As you age, the cheeks may flatten and the skin may begin to sag. This is caused by natural loss of volume in the cheek area, or what the experts call age-related midface volume loss. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA^® XC is designed to add volume beneath the skin’s surface, which provides lift and contour to the cheek area.

RADIESSE^®

A dermal filler used for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It stimulates the body’s process of generating collagen and encourages new growth, for a more refreshed appearance, so beauty can bloom.

BOTOX^®

A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.

Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother.

XEOMIN^®

FDA-approved injection that treats severe frown lines between the eyebrows. IncobotulinumtoxinA is made from the bacteria that causes botulism. Botulinum toxin blocks nerve activity in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle activity. XEOMIN^® does not have additives, just botulinum toxin type A. This means that there may be a lesser risk of developing antibodies against XEOMIN^® than other available neurotoxins. The body develops antibodies in response to foreign invaders and attacks. In theory, antibodies could prevent a neurotoxin from having its desired effects. The effects of XEOMIN^® occur within one week, and the results last from three to four months, making it comparable to Botox in terms of both onset and duration of action.

What are Chemical Peels?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back after a chemical peel is smoother and younger looking.

Chemical peels are used to treat wrinkles, skin discoloration and scars — typically on the face. A chemical peel can be done alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures.

Chemical peels can be done at different depths — light, medium or deep — depending on your desired results. Each type of chemical peel uses a different chemical solution. Deeper chemical peels produce more-dramatic results, but also involve longer recovery times.

Natural beauty is most visible in our skin and that is why we strive to bring the most customized and effective skin care products and treatments to you. We offer a variety of chemical peels that help improve the visible signs of skin imperfections that include: dull, lackluster skin, uneven tone and texture, lines and wrinkles, loss of radiance, roughness, surface irregularities and acne or acne scars. A chemical peel is one of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your skin and the results are phenomenal.

We also carry top of the line skin care products and we take pride in bringing you the most customized and effective skin care regimens that suit each individual need. Our skin care consultations are provided by experienced estheticians who will evaluate your skin and recommend products and/or treatments that best address your skin care needs. Our product line includes a range of brands to customize to your skin.

How Do You Prepare for a Chemical Peel?

Before you have a chemical peel, we will:

Review your medical history. Be prepared to answer questions about current and past medical conditions — especially any heart, kidney or liver conditions if you’re considering a deep chemical peel. Tell your doctor about any medications you’re taking or have taken recently — particularly those that might make your skin sensitive to the sun — as well as any cosmetic procedures you’ve had in the past. Be sure to tell your doctor if you’ve been using a retinoid cream such as tretinoin (Renova, Retin-A, others), which can enhance the penetration of some chemical peels.

Do a physical exam. We will inspect your skin and the area to be treated. This will help us determine what type of chemical peel you might benefit from most and how your physical features — for example, the tone and thickness of your skin — might affect your results.

Discuss your expectations.Talk with our office about your motivations and expectations, as well as the potential risks. Make sure you understand how many treatments you might need, how long it will take to heal and what your results might be.
