What is the best filler for avoiding getting the tyndall effect under my eyes?

With Volbella if you notice a blue discoloration after an injectable, it is because the hyaluronic acid filler is a clear gel and can give a blue hue when the light hits the thin skin under the eyes.  The thinner hyaluronic acids such as Restylane and Belotero typically cause less Tyndall effect than others.  However, if too much filler is placed, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase in 24 hours after the hyaluronidase is used. 
What makes this filler unique is its patented Vycross technology which, through more efficient crosslinking, produces greater lift capacity and longer lasting results. In fact, a company-led study found that over 90% of test patients reported natural looking lips with more than 80% of them still satisfied with their results after one year. Having such a high satisfactory rate after such a long period of time is something to smile about: Previous lip fillers typically last up to 6 months, before your body breaks it up, leaving you with a deflated pout.
#Volbella is the newest FDA approved, addition to the #Juvederm family. VOLBELLA® can be used to plump and enhance lip shape or restore lost fullness; and is great for fine lines around the mouth đź’‹!

How Can I Tighten Sagging Skin Without Surgery?


The latest Neck Skin Tightening Treatment, such as Pixel Radio Frequency, Laser Skin Tightening, and Laser at Suddenly Slimmer Med Spa in Phoenix, we are proud to offer the latest Stomach Skin Tightening Treatment, such as Pixel Radio Frequency, Laser Skin Tightening, and Laser Skin Resurfacing!
After laser skin tightening, results will be immediately visible, and the rejuvenating effects of increased collagen production will become markedly more noticeable in the months following treatment. Immediately after treatment, patients may notice that the affected skin is red and slightly warm, but this usually resolves itself within a few hours. Since treated skin is especially delicate, most laser skin tightening practitioners recommend that patients protect the treated area with sunscreen for at least two weeks following their treatment. Permanent negative side effects of laser skin tightening are very rare.
It begins with the basic foundation-effective medical skin care -skin care products that have therapeutic agents in them in concentrations that can truly effect changes in the collagen- laden dermal layer of the skin. Other vital ingredients boost the vitality of the skin in both the epidermal and dermal layers are topical with medical grade skincare line like SkinMedica and Obagi that include the latest advancement in Skincare Rejuvenation.


Skin resurfacing techniques can also be used, and I have used various combinations of laser and non-laser light and plasma treatments to peel the skin which can not only treat the surface, smoothing wrinkles, but also treating pigment and causing skin tightening, This can be very effective around the eyes, mouth, jawline and neck.
Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, Sculptra and others are also great allies to have in the battle of aging-as they can be precisely placed along the jawlines to blend the jowl tissue with the surrounding tissue, adding a support layer so the skin in the jowl area does not sag. It is remarkable how powerful the fillers are along the jawline, mouth, cheek and brow regions.
The modern day fillers can be used to lift the face- jowls included, and this is what you hear termed as a "Liquid Facelift."
Typical laser skin tightening results are visible for up to two years, and many patients find that they can extend their optimal results with a few touch-up treatments. After roughly two years, another series of treatments may be necessary to promote the growth of new collagen, which will be reabsorbed into the body over time. Plus the new advanced Microneedling that  creates microscopically small punctures in the dermis, where the collagen is present. This controlled injury induces thousands of tiny, wound-healing responses in this deep layer of the skin. Consequently, growth factors are released and fibroblasts are stimulated into synthesising new skin matrix, including collagen. This will eventually develop a firmer, more elastic skin with more refined skin surface.
Laser skin tightening has been proven effective for tightening the skin on all areas of the body. Patients can enjoy a rejuvenated look when this treatment is applied to the face, neck, abdomen, arms, legs, and buttocks. In fact, patients with minor to moderate skin laxity may opt for laser skin tightening treatment instead of more invasive procedures such as liposuction and even mini tummy tuck surgery, and experience noticeably firmer skin with no downtime and little discomfort.
There is no doubt laser skin tightening will continue to become one of the most popular methods of getting firmer, younger, healthier looking skin.  It provides you with the same type of benefits as a surgery – namely tighter skin.  At the same time, it is minimally invasive and requires no recovery time.  This allows you to see the results immediately, while also watching your skin continually improve over the next several months or years.
Our skin begins to sag and fall largely due to the decline in collagen, one of the main proteins that give our skin that supple and resilient quality most associated with youth. It happen when our natural collagen supply declines, our cheeks, face and neck are soon to follow, that is where Laser Skin Tightening works by lifting and tighten falling skin, and the majority of them work by stimulating our body’s collagen supply.

How much does Voluma cost?

Voluma - Juvederm Voluma XC  The most awaited dermal filler was designed to improve and repair areas of the face that appear sunken, droopy and tired in appearance.  It is the very first hyaluronic acid filler the FDA has approved and is promoted to help with the contouring and volumizing of facial wrinkles.
Voluma prices vary based on geographical location and the experience of the injector. As Voluma is one of the newer HA fillers (hyaluronic acid), be sure to do your research on your injector.  A more viscous gel than Juvederm, Voluma is currently indicated to help restore volume in a patient's mid-face and lift the surrounding tissues, adding two nice effects WITHOUT making ones face look wide or "chubby."  As the gel is thick, reports have effects lasting for over two years for patients.  Prices in USA vary, from approximately 850 to 1200/syringe with discounts off either the first or second syringes based on the Med Spas. One can call fora Free Consultation to avaliate our spected goals and cost of the service. Juvederm Voluma XC is different because it is in a form of a thick gel, and it is made with the most concentrated hyaluronic acid which allows the gel to flow continuously with ease. It also has a small amount of lidocaine, a local anesthetic, that numbs the area to be treated which increases the patients comfort during the treatment.


Voluma by Allergan is the first Facial Filler to restore the appearance defined by properties of the skin. By effect of aging the muscle, bony anatomy, and amount and distribution of subcutaneous adipose tissue; loss of bone mass and soft tissue volume, redistribution of fat, as well as decreased skin elasticity and thickness contribute to the formation of wrinkles and folds characterizing the signs of aging. These events are typically noticeable by 30 years of age in most individuals.1–3 With respect of the midface, flattening and furrowing of the central area of the mid cheek is observed, with displacement medially exaggerating the depth of the nasolabial folds.4–7 In addition, the lower eyelid lengthens and the upper border of the malar fat pad becomes visible, leading to tear trough formation.4–6,8 Therefore, appropriate replacement of lost volume and provision of structure should correct these signs of aging, creating a more youthful appearance.

When considering this treatment, it is essential to have a detailed consultation with an accredited professional to ensure you are receiving the most informed and honest advice and recommendations.
While most dermal fillers are injected to smooth specific facial lines and wrinkles, Juvederm Voluma adds volume to skin tissue within the cheekbones and chin area. It does not require more injections to fill a larger area, but the way in which the substance injected is cross-linked, makes the difference. The material injected expands and molds, bringing back the contours of the face which may have been lost over time. Voluma results last to up to 2 years


Here are some of the benefits of Juvederm Voluma XC :
•It can last up to 2 years which regular dermal filler does not offer.
•It saves time and money for frequent ‘refills’ or ‘top-ups’ since it can last up to 2 years.
•It is potentially less bleeding, less bruising, and has a faster recovery period largely because it is designed to enhance a specific area. 
•Other possible side effects like pain, lumps or bumps, firmness, injection site redness, itching, tenderness, discoloration, and swelling lasts only for 7 days or less and are observed to be mild to moderate.
•It has less to no pain because Voluma contains lidocaine, a local anesthetics that numbs the area to be treated so the patient feels comfortable during the entire procedure – it was way less painful than Botulinum Toxin (botox, disport.
•It gives a subtle non-surgical lifting effect in restoring the youthful contours and profile that makes the surface skin creases and lines less visible and casts less shadow and makes it look superficial straight after a Juvederm Voluma XC procedure.

Sculptra Side Effects!


Sculptra Aesthetic works to replace lost collagen in a series of treatments administered by a Sculptra Aesthetic trained physician. On average, three injection sessions are needed over a period of a few months. The number of injection sessions and the number of injections per session vary from person to person. Within the deep dermis, your skin's structure is reinforced as Sculptra Aesthetic helps to replace lost collagen. This reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness of your shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds* that has been depleted over time. Sculptra Aesthetic is different because it gradually and subtly corrects these facial wrinkles. This can provide a refined, more youthful looking appearance that can last more than two years. Safety and effectiveness of Sculptra Aesthetic have not been evaluated in areas other than nasolabial wrinkles and folds in clinical trials.
Sculptra has been available worldwide since 1999, and FDA approved since 2004.  It is a "biostimulatory" filler, meaning that it increases your skin's own collagen production.  That collagen provides a scaffolding that lifts the skin and decreasing deep & shallow wrinkles.
As with all injectables, patients experience mild to moderate discomfort with the injection, and bruising is a risk.

Sculptra differs from other injectables in that it can cause bumps.  These bumps are the result of too much collagen formation.  In the last several years, techniques have evolved so that these bumps, should they occur, are small.  They typically cannot be seen, only felt.  And, they typically go away by themselves after a few months. 
Newer techniques include reconstituting the product at least 48 hours in advance, using a more dilute concentration, and fanning the product (so as not to put too much in a single area).
Sculptra achieves longlasting, natural results.  It works better than any other product for filling the periphery of the face (temples, submalar hollows, enhancing the jaw).

The Sculptra Procedure:
During the procedure your doctor will use a water soluble pencil to outline a grid that is perpendicular and parallel to the nasolabial fold. This helps the doctor properly assess where the injections should go for maximum effect. Again, this procedure shows effects gradually, as the body begins to absorb the material and produce collagen, so proper targeting of the injections is essential.
Massage is a vital part of the process. The doctor will massage the injection sites after each series of three to four injections. This helps distribute the product more evenly underneath the skin to allow for better absorption into the deeper skin layers. An important two minute massage also takes place after the injection session, and is done with a facial moisturizer. 
Patients are advised to massage the area that was treated for five minutes as well after the procedure is complete. This should be d
Sculptra® is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss. Sculptra® provides an increase in skin thickness. The results will be visible within the first few treatment sessions and will last for 2 years or more.
The doctor will determine the number of treatment sessions that will obtain the best result. After the first treatment session, your plastic surgeon will want to reexamine you in two weeks. He/she will then assess if you need additional treatments. It is common for patients with extreme facial fat loss to require three to six sessions.
In a clinical study the treatment results lasted for up to two years after the first treatment session, in most patients. Touch up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired effects.
The most common side effects with Sculptra® include bleeding, tenderness, redness, bruising and swelling at the injection site. These side effects usually go away within a few days.
Your plastic surgeon will advise you to massage the treated area (a few times a day) for several days after the treatment. Additionally, an icepack may be applied after the treatment to help any swelling.one about five times each day for a period of five days after treatment
Also, keep in mind that because of how Sculptra works, the wrinkles and facial depressions can actually reappear shortly after the procedure. This is because Sculptra Aesthetic fills wrinkles with small beads of PLLA, which is the substance that eventually leads to collagen production.  As part of the process, the beads biodegrade into the body to stimulate collagen, but this will also cause the wrinkles to temporarily come back until the body has produced more collagen.

When Does Peeling Start After Photofacial?


IPL Photofacial: You should not get any peeling from a photofacial.   A photo facial will decrease the red and brown pigment in the skin over a few sessions.   The browns will get darker and more apparent after a photo facial and then will fall off or fade, but you should not actually peel as you would with certain chemical peels or laser peels.

Do you think that the reflection you see in the mirror each morning matches the way you feel? Many patients wish that there was a safe, easy and quick way to get rid of their red complexion, fine wrinkles, irregular pigmentation and large pores. Photofacial or FotoFacial is one of our most exciting anti-aging services. Photofacial of the face and body produces even-toned skin that looks more youthful.


Photofacial can erase skin damage and treat a variety of skin conditions, such as:

Broken Capillaries

Sun and Smoke Damage

Veins

Mild Acne Scars

Enlarged Pores

Dull Complexions

Uneven Pigmentation

Pigmented Freckles and Age spots

Red Flushing skin

Rosacea & Redness

Liver Spots

Fine lines & Wrinkles



Common Questions About Photofacial.



What results can I expect?

After only one treatment, your skin will have a more even tone with a smoother look and feel. Sunspots will fade. Pore sizes will shrink. Fine lines and wrinkles will gradually decrease in size. These improvements will steadily increase with each treatment. Patients with rosacea will see a progressive decrease in redness with every treatment.



What will recovery be like?

Post-Photo Facial discomfort is almost nonexistent. After treatment with most light systems, the treated skin may appear a little flushed and capillaries may seem to be more visible. The flushed look soon fades away, and the capillaries appear to vanish, leaving the skin looking younger. It's that simple.



How do Photofacial treatments work?

Today's new light technology delivers precise dosages of energy to the skin. During your treatment, light energy is gently delivered through a special hand piece to the targeted area. Levels of energy specific to your treatment are used to maximize your improvement. Once delivered, the light energy is absorbed by the targeted damaged tissue. After any treatment, you should follow your home care instructions, avoid any harsh skin cleansers and always use sunscreen.




How many treatments will I need?

Depending on the area treated, most clients need a series of approximately five treatments. Treatments usually take from 15 to 30 minutes. Treatments are spaced out at approximately three week intervals.



Do Photofacial hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation to be like the snap of a rubber band on the skin as the pulses of energy are delivered through the hand piece. Some patients opt to have a topical anesthesia. After treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.



Who are the best candidates for IPL Photo facial Rejuvenation?

The best candidates have:

Red, flushed faces or rosacea

Sun-damaged skin

Hyperpigmentation

Enlarged pores



Are Photofacial treatments safe?

Yes! Advanced light systems have been used safely for millions of treatments worldwide. These systems treat only the targeted tissues, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. However, some bruising or redness may occur.



Photo facial Treatments are just one of the many excellent non-surgical treatments offered by Suddenly Slimmer Medical Spa. Other popular treatments include Laser Skin Tightening, Medical Peels, Botox, Dysport, DermalFillers: Sculptra, Voluma, Volbella, Juvéderm, Perlane, Radiesse, Restylane.

Please explain the results of Kybella. How many treatments is the 'norm?'


KYBELLA is a formulation of deoxycholic acid that mimics the same substance that is naturally produced by our bodies in order to help absorb fats. It works by destroying the tissue’s cell membrane when injected. By properly injecting KYBELLA into submental fat, the fat cells are destroyed. Once the cells have been destroyed they can never again store or accumulate fat.
During initial treatment, the patient receives a number of injections in the targeted region, which takes about 30 minutes. After treatment is complete, the patient is asked to ice the treated area and take an over-the-counter pain reliever. The patients typically need two to three rounds of injections about 30 to 60 days apart to reach the desired effect.
Kybella really works. Every patient with a double chin due to fat in what we can the preplatysmal fat pad will see a significant reduction in that fat without surgery.  Recovery after Kybella treatment is much quicker and easier than after the alternative, liposuction.

After the procedure, the primary side effect you will notice is swelling. This can be noticeable for as little as two days to as long as three weeks and is greater in those with larger volumes of treated fat and higher doses. Older patients, with more skin laxity, will feel that the swelling takes longer to resolve than those with younger and/or tighter skin.
Other than that, there is some tenderness but patients don't usually talk about it on their follow-up visit other than to be reassured that it is normal, since it is fairly mild and mostly only if the area is touched or prodded. Small areas of firmness, if they occur, resolve quickly.
It’s liposuction without the surgery.” With Kybella one can achieve the desired effect of chin liposuction with a series of simple, non-surgical treatments.
KYBELLA treated group of 514 patients compared to the placebo group (508 patients) as measured by both clinician and patient ratings. In addition, visual and emotional impacts of submental fat (happy, bothered, self-conscious, embarrassed, looking older or overweight) were evaluated using a 6-question survey and 79% of 1 and 2-grade composite responders reported satisfaction after 12 weeks post final treatment compared with 33.6% of patients who received placebo.

KYBELLA can cause serious side effects including nerve injury in the jaw that can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness and trouble swallowing. The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area.
Kybella results are permanent: once the adipocytes (fat cells) die, they do not grow back. Any remaining cells will get larger when you put on weight and smaller when you lose weight, just as all the fat cells in your body will. Because there are fewer cells to become larger in the treated area, you will not put on as much fat in the treated area if you gain weight.

What is the recovery like for Kybella injections?

What is the recovery like for Kybella injections?

Kibella patients at first experience some pain, usually rated 4-6 on a scale of 1-10, for a total of 5-7 hours starting about halfway through the injections, made very tolerable with pain medicine taken prior.
Next, they experience swelling, which can get huge if there was a large amount of fat, which peaks at 18-24 hours after injection and is largely gone after two days after the procedure. Some of the swelling can go down into the upper chest skin--but usually leaves by the end of the second day).
They will develop, often, some numbness in the treated area, which disappears within 45 days.
They often have tenderness-to-the-touch in the area for 45 days, which is not severe enough to interfere with daily life and working.
They may have a transient 3-12 hour period, within the first 24 hours after treatment, of hoarseness and mild discomfort swallowing solid food; no problems breathing or drinking or eating soft foods and smoothies.
By the 3rd day after treatment, the treated area starts to "gel." This is something you feel; not see. This is followed by a solidification or hardening of the gel-fat. 
At about a month after the procedure, most people have definite reduction in fat and tightening of skin in the treated area.  This continues to improve over the next 3-5 months. It is an absolutely wonderful procedure!!!
Submental fullness due to fat beneath the chin can impact a broad range of both men and women and because the condition can be genetic and resistant to diet and exercise.2 But there's KYBELLA, the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that is available by prescription only, that has been proven to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin by physically destroying fat cells in the treatment area. In two pivotal clinical studies for KYBELLA, reductions in submental fat volume were observed more frequently in the KYBELLA treated group of 514 patients compared to the placebo group (508 patients) as measured by both clinician and patient ratings. In addition, visual and emotional impacts of submental fat (happy, bothered, self-conscious, embarrassed, looking older or overweight) were evaluated using a 6-question survey and 79% of 1 and 2-grade composite responders reported satisfaction after 12 weeks post final treatment compared with 33.6% of patients who received placebo.
KYBELLA - The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area. Those who are injected on a Thursday or Friday are back at work on Monday!
Kybella the only Injection solution to remove Double Chin!  Double Chin takes away the shape of your face. It's not very attractive, when one sees the double chin, nobody likes that and this is what we mostly hear from prospect clients.
Double chins can be caused by a few things, including weight gain that increases the amount of fat in your neck and chin, heredity, and age. There’s just a stubborn area of fat and Kybella really addresses that. They don't have to undergo surgery. They can have a non-surgical procedure that permanently reduces the fat.
It's this compound that just basically breaks down your fat molecules so then they're dead, permanently dead, and your body just absorbs the fat away.
Liposuction is another option to combat a double chin, but it's surgical, requires anesthesia and is more expensive at around $6,000.

Since CoolSculpting Freezes Fat to Kill It, Why Not Just Repeatedly Apply Ice Bags?

Since CoolSculpting Freezes Fat to Kill It, Why Not Just Repeatedly Apply Ice Bags?

The hot way to melt fat is actually cool. So cool, in fact, the process employs technology that is only one degree above hypothermia. It's called CoolSculpting.
The procedure is quick, painless and effective. Typically, each hour-long treatment kills about 25 percent of the fat cells in the targeted area. For most, one treatment does the trick.
Women and men are really looking for noninvasive fat removal by having their fat frozen instead of
Expensive and very invasive Liposuction.   People who have had the procedure describe it as a tingling or pressure sensation as the fat is sucked into the machine, then a coldness while the temperature drops to around 14 degrees.
Unlike liposuction, CoolSculpting gives targeted results without incisions, anesthesia or recovery time. Patients can stop by for a treatment on their lunch hour — eat, check their email and be on their way.


How the technology was devised:
The science of freezing away fat based on two concepts:
1.            First, Popsicle panniculitis — a condition where children who leave Popsicles in their mouths too long lose some of the fat in their cheeks .
2.            2. Butter, because it becomes solid when it's cooled.
 Dr. Anderson came up with a noninvasive machine that will target and freeze fat without damaging the skin, essentially killing some of the fat cells. Then, over the course of several weeks, the body releases the dead fat cells through its normal elimination process
The importance of Healthy habits:
CoolSculpting should not be used as a weight-loss program. It doesn't mean you can't gain the weight back although, if patients put on weight, they do all over, not just in one spot, because gain weight distribute largely to all body area.
You are obviously a curious and thoughtful person, and ask a question that the original creators of the CoolSculpting device had to consider carefully.
There is a misconception that has been widely circulated, perhaps for the sake of simplicity, that Coolsculpting freezes fat. This is not actually the case. The device has been carefully and cleverly designed to extract heat from the tissues via the application to the skin of cold, but not freezing, plates.  The temperature of the skin in contact with the plates is continuously monitored throughout the entire procedure, and the temperature of the plates altered according to that feedback such that the skin and fat will never freeze but rather be chilled. 
Applying something frozen to the skin, you might reach temperatures that would injure fat cells, but you would also get frostbite in the overlying skin. If you were to apply something not quite frozen to the skin, it would rapidly warm up and you would never reach a temperature cold enough in the fat layer to injure the fat cells.
What about the power behind the DualSculpting technique? The nonsurgical advancement known as Coolsculpting has been a blessing to thousands who have tried endless diets and beating themselves up at the gym or with extreme exercise classes. The beauty of Coolsculpting is that it destroys unwanted fat with no downtime and keeps on working months after you have the treatment.
By delivering controlled, precise cooling to the unwanted bulges, fat cells are cooled to the point of destruction and eliminated naturally through the body. With DualSculpting, this process is performed on different sides of your body at the same time. Each Coolsculpting device holds the targeted areas between two panels and takes the fat cells down to just above the freezing point. This causes the cells to shrink because they can’t stand low temperatures.


Thanks to an advance in CoolSculpting technology Dualsculpting, treatment with the new machines is only about 30 minutes an area. DualCoolScupting is a great option for small areas of unwanted fat. The fat reduction that results is real, but subtle, and occurs during the three to four months after treatment. CoolSculpting is not considered a weight-loss procedure. It's for localized body sculpting and can be repeated in order to further results and treat to transformation. Traditional approaches like liposuction in comparison with CoolSculpting; it is a very intense, costly, painful and long downtime procedure. Besides that CoolSculpting cost 75% less than liposuction making it a clear choice for elimination of localized bulk fat area on the waistline, underarms, under chin, legs and back side.

It provides noticeable results, often in as little as a single treatment. You'll see dramatic improvement in the tone and texture of your skin
When treating acne scarring it is often necessary to build a treatment regimen that incorporates several modalities to help lessen the appearance of acne scars.  First, It is of utmost importance that you have a skin care regimen built to maintain the health of your skin that will aid in reducing future breakouts(since this is the root cause of the scarring). A series of chemical peels will offer some correction, but incorporating collagen induction therapy(microneedling) and/or laser resurfacing into the clinical treatment plan will promote an optimal result. Unfortunately, there is no permanent solution when it comes to skin. However, maintenance will be key to retaining the correction you achieve.

How Long Does the Coolsculpting Procedure Last and How Many Treatments Are Needed?

CoolSculpting uses cooling energy to freeze fat cells in commonly treatment areas, including the abdomen, thighs, and flants. Destroyed fat cells are naturally removed by the body’s waste removal processes, leading to noticeable fat loss over the course of one to three months. CoolSculpting is ideal for those who are within twenty to thirty pounds of their ideal weight and need extra help with losing stubborn, exercise-resistant fat.
One CoolSculpting treatment takes one hour per area treated.  One area is typically about the size of your hand. Therefore, each "love-handle" would be considered one area, and the lower abdomen is typically considered two areas.  You can treat more than one area at a single office visit, but only one area at a time.  To treat two areas takes just over two hours.  For many patients, a second treatment in the same area may be beneficial since CoolSculptingg removes about 25% of the fat cells per treatment.  The fat cells that are damaged by the treatment are frozen and later absorbed by the body's own metabolic process and  are gone permanently.  Typical results take about 3-4 months to be fully realized, and therefore many patients schedule second treatments at that time. Results may vary from person to person; overall, Coolsculpting users have been very happy with their results.
The time the Coolsculpting procedure takes depends on two things; the number of Coolsculpting machines the provider has, and the number of areas to be treated.  Suddenly Slimmer in Phoenix have 2 machines, so procedures at our facility can be performed in half the time, this procedure is called Dualsculpting.
It also depends on how many areas will be treated. If you are treating arms, that will require 2 applicators; one applicator per machine. If you have two machines, the treatment will take one hour.  If you only have one machine, only one arm can be treated at a time, so the procedure will take 2 hours. Clientele like the timesaving that is provided with Dualsculpting.
CoolSculpting is ideal for those who are within twenty to thirty pounds of their ideal weight and need extra help with losing stubborn, exercise-resistant fat, which never goes away no matter how much effort one can put on it.
It works by cryolipolysis, which means fat cells are cooled to near freezing, crystallise, shatter and die. I was worried that all this dead fat would get into my bloodstream and raise my blood fats or put my liver under strain, but the studies show dead fat cells are digested by white blood cells in the immune system.
CoolSculpting is becoming more popular because it gives you the ability to return to work the same day as the treatment. Your doctor can create an individual plan to target problem areas and focus on forming a natural, contoured shape. The procedure relies on special applicators that look like paddles and have cooling panels. The applicators are applied to your body while you read or watch television in a medical office. Your fat cells are cooled and crystallized during the treatment, so your body can naturally eliminate them.

Obagi Tretinoin Cream 0.1%
Obagi Tretinoin (anti-oxidant Vitamin A cream -- brand name Retin-A cream) improves the deeper collagen layer, by restoring health and thickness to this layer as well as improved blood supply. This results in smoother, firmer skin and helps eliminate fine wrinkles. Your skin will look and feel smoother and softer.

Obagi Tretinoin Cream 0.1% is the strongest concentration of tretinoin offered in a cream base and is fast acting, powerful and effective. It should be used only after the skin has been conditioned to the Obagi Tretinoin Cream 0.05% and should be used less frequently or discontinued if there is too much reaction to the product. This cream goes on smooth, is lightweight, and can help reduce the appearance and prevalence of acne breakouts, hyperpigmentation as well as the effects of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Obagi Tretinoin Cream 0.1% is especially useful for unsightly acne or wrinkles. Obagi Tretinoin Cream 0.1% stimulates the renewal and growth of healing skin cells and initial peeling of the skin is common. The end result is a smoother more radiant glow to the skin.

Important Note -- Tretinoin Cream 0.1% should only be used if you have previously conditioned your skin with Tretinoin Cream 0.05%.

How to Use Obagi Tretinoin Cream 0.1%: This is a prescription product. Please follow instructions carefully to avoid any harsh skin reactions. Wash with a mild, non-medicated cleanser. Do not scrub. Allow skin to dry to 20-30 minutes before applying Tretinoin. It is important for skin to be completely dry to minimize irritation. Apply Tretinoin Cream 0.1% every night with Obagi NuDerm Blender as directed by a physician. Use only half an inch of cream to spread over the face. Do not oversaturate the skin. Avoid the corners of the nose, mouth, eyes, and open wounds. If excessive peeling or irritation occurs, then reduce the use of Tretinoin Cream 0.1% to every other night alternatively with Tretinoin 0.05%. If redness, swelling, or irritation continues, discontinue using Tretinoin Cream 0.1% and continue using Tretinoin Cream 0.05%. Tretinoin takes time to work deep within your skin. Some discomfort or peeling may occur in early stages of treatment. Continue using Tretinoin Cream 0.1% and you should notice a significant improvement in 6 to 12 weeks.

Tretinoin is available in 3 strengths (Obagi Tretinoin Cream 0.025%, Obagi Tretinoin
Cream 0.05% and Obagi Tretinoin Cream 0.1%) in a cream form.

Caution: Therapy with Tretinoin may make your skin more susceptible to sunburn and other adverse effects of the sun. Apply a sunscreen every morning after cleansing. Also, try to avoid excessive exposure to wind or cold.

Lose Weight the Healthy Way with HCG Diet!

HCG is an abbreviation of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, and you get the picture almost immediately – it’s a hormone found in the human body. Found in the urine during pregnancy, the HCG hormone is also produced by the pituitary gland.

How Does the HCG Hormone Work?
HCG triggers the body to mobilize fat stores to bring energy to the growing baby, and this is where the weight loss are founded. HCG is also gonadotropic, meaning that it prompts genital development. As such, HCG is normally used as a fertility treatment.

How Does the HCG Diet Work?
The idea behind HCG diets in general is that the hormone allows your body to access fat stores more quickly than normal. Instead of losing bone and muscle mass you start losing body fat right away.
When following the HCG diet plan, the theory is that the low calorie intake allows you to start losing weight, while the HCG injections or hCG drops reduce your appetite and make sure you’re burning fat rather than muscle.

How Much Weight Could I Lose on the HCG Diet?
The HCG diet you can lose a pound a day. Most independent studies of the HCG Diet have shown difference in weight loss between subjects on a low-calorie diet who received HCG injections.

Many of the internet sites promoting the diet issue dire warnings if you stray from the HCG Diet plan.

What is the HCG Diet Promise?
HCG Diet is an weight loss diet that work you could lose 43 lbs in 43 days by following a few simple rules:
•500 calories a day
•No heavy exercise
•Daily HCG dose (non prescription drops or prescription injections)

 Many diets fail because they are too difficult to live with. The HCG Diet is not just restricts certain foods it could but rather a set of tools to enable you to make gradual changes to your eating habits. Having real awareness about the things you eat and drink each day enables you to start losing weight by making relatively small changes that suit your tastes and your lifestyle.
Successful weight loss is all about getting the balance right and adopting a healthy lifestyle
Lose Weight the Healthy Way with HCG Diet.
Once you stop the HCG Diet, you will have to adopt a normal and healthy lifestyle, or the weight's just going to return like any other type of hard to follow lose weight diet. The HCG diet with the purpose of the diet is to break food addictions and abnormal eating behaviors, and that the month or so of treatment allows a person to do so. In this sense, the diet hopes to achieve short-term weight loss with long-term behavioral modification.
HCG is a pro-hormone and the premise of the diet is that it can correct hormone deficiencies. It can prevent muscle loss by elevating hormones like testosterone, which induces anabolic muscle building (as opposed to catabolic muscle breakdown as often seen in the Atkins diet). This is important, because when dramatic weight loss occurs, the muscles are the first thing to go and unfortunately, muscle tissue is the hardest to rebuild.

The initial couple of days of the HCG weight loss diet is called Loading Phase. During this time, you have to eat as much food as you can in order to prepare the body for the low calorie phases. “Force feeding” and “gorging” the initial eating pattern.
Maintenance Phase is a minimum of 21 days but can be extended to 40 days depending on your goal weight.
For 3 weeks, you eat 500 calories per day combined with the HCG hormone/drops.
 This all natural weight loss program is helping people lose weight fast, with many patients losing over 30 pounds each month! Factors that help you achieve faster weight loss include adding/increasing vegetable intake and mixing salad with each meal. Fiber intake is extremely important, as is water intake.

What is the Difference Between Lifters Vs Fillers - The Benefits of Voluma!

Midface Rejuvenation – Regenerating Looks:
As one age the main concern is that our fresh and younger looks of yesterday starts fading away leaving us the feeling that those days are long gone and procedures like Facelift as effective as it is; the cost of invasive surgery on a priority scheduled budget for many become a secondary necessity. The procedure like Facelift for improving the neck and jaw line, but this only addresses one of the three major elements of facial aging. Furthermore, a second element is loss of the fatty cushions of the face that lead to drooping because of reduced volume. This is particularly common in the area in front of the cheek known as the midface, which then takes on a deflated appearance. The deflated face areas are responsible in creating dark spots when one is hoping getting a great photos taken but instead the results are swollen shaded ones instead and then one wandering; why when I look in the mirror my face looks better than in photos.
Nothing is prettier than a lovely baby face pictures, where all the lights reflect harmoniously on the entire surface without shaded areas.

The procedures of face-lifting are not effective at rejuvenating the midface because it only lifts but does not fill-in the sagging areas. There are procedures that are targeted at lifting the midface by pulling it tighter; they do not address the true problem, which is the loss of volume. Simply lifting and tightening this area causes it to become widened and flattened, resulting in a somewhat unnatural appearance. In contrast, restoring the lost volume of the midface elevates the sagging tissue leading to a more natural, youthful result. Voluma  or called JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC  by Allergan the creator of Botox is the only FDA approved  dermal Filler that is able to create that natural, young and refreshing looks that will last up to 2 years.

There are several types of Dermal Fillers to restore volume to the aging midface:
As one ages, it’s more than just about lines and wrinkles. The Person’s cheeks lose volume and skin begins to sag. Voluma by Allergan is the approved Injectable gel to instantly correct your concerns and cater to your desired expectations.

The way the gel works by adding volume, structure and lifts using its new and patented VYCROSS technology allowing for better sculpting by the physician injector, and extends the life of the filler. It is very different from your standard fillers which only fill in wrinkles and lines. Voluma by Allergan acts more as a face sculpting technique in order to sharpen features and give the overall aesthetic outcome of a facelift and Voluma is the only Filler that can last up to 2 years making it more economic and effective.

People in general understand that a bubbling/round face is synonymous of youth and health but they don’t think about adding volume and lift in the cheeks and mid-face yet as a natural way to restore the youth fresh face.  But the advantage doing so not only re-contours the face, giving us a more youthful appearance, it also minimizes the lines around the mouth. Voluma becomes the total facial, non-invasive treatment that can fully enhance and beautify your appearance. Voluma with its most advanced in fillers technology is the perfect alternative to an implant or surgical lift by also saving lots of money, painful procedures and downtime. You walk-in a Med Spa where one experienced doctor or nurse can within 30 minutes rejuvenate your appearance in one amazing younger and smoother natural looks.

Understanding The Difference Between Filling and Lifting:

The Medical science is well-known that Collagen is a crucial component in keeping skin looking youthful and smooth. As you age, your body’s collagen production decreases, and you may begin to see wrinkles. Sculptra® Aesthetic another amazing Filler works to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds, as it replaces lost collagen. It is ultimately ideal for candidates who are looking to “fill in” their lines- hence injectable filler.

Sculptra® Aesthetic works to replace lost collagen in a series of treatments. It targets the underlying causes of the signs of aging. On average, three injection sessions are needed over a period of a few months. The number of injection sessions and the number of injections per session vary from person to person.

Sculptra® Aesthetic is made of a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which works to replace lost collagen. Poly-L-lactic acid is safe — absorbed naturally by the body — and has been used for years in dissolvable stitches.
