Ever heard of non surgical fat reduction? It is the new way of getting the body you have always wanted without having to go through invasive surgery. Exilis treatment provides more than just non surgical fat reduction. “Exilis is a radio-frequency device that is a FDA approved skin tightening device. Radiofrequency is a form of energy that causes your skin to heat up and stimulate collagen and tighten skin.” RealSelf How Is Exilis Different? Being image conscious is not a crime. How you feel on the inside can be greatly influenced by the look that you project. If you want to achieve the body you have always wanted without any surgically invasive procedures, Exilis is the device you have been waiting for. It only takes 4 sessions to achieve the best results without the risks of a more traditional fat reduction procedure, like liposuction. With fast metabolic rates, some people do not have to think about whether or not they will gain weight. Once layers of fat stop being active, they produce the “pockets of fat” that you would rather not have. In order to shrink these fat deposits to make your body look better, Exilis activates the fat deposits’ metabolic activity. Web-like fibers are wrapped around your clusters of fat, making it impossible to get to each fat cell alone. What doctors do is slice the fiber to remove the fats which are still trapped together by the fibers. This is how many liposuction procedures work. In order to get everything out, liposuction has to take it in clusters. How Effective Is Exilis for Non-Surgical Fat Reduction? Exilis...
Understanding Thermage and How It Works In order to understand Thermage, you must know a little bit about proteins. A protein is simply a long chain of amino acids linked together. When you heat a protein, it shrinks because the amino acid chain tightens up. Think about a piece of steak heating on a grill. Isn’t it a little more compact when it is done cooking? The more well done the steak, the smaller it becomes (yes, there is some fat lost, but you get the general idea). Thermage acts by the same principal. The skin tightening device delivers energy to the proteins deep within the skin and heats them. These proteins hold the upper layers of skin to the deeper tissues. As we now know, heated proteins shrink. Thus, the outermost skin is pulled tighter to the deep tissue. Thermage vs. Laser Skin Tightening Contrary to popular belief, Thermage is not laser skin tightening. Laser skin tightening uses light energy, either externally or internally (surgically), to heat the proteins of the skin. Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency energy. This is closer to ultrasound sound waves than it is light energy. In fact, Thermage device uses the same kind of energy that has been used by physicians to ablate (destroy) abnormal tissue for years. The skin tightening device delivers a less potent form of the radiofrequency energy, however, than that used to ablate tissue. Advancements in Thermage: Comfort Pulse Technology (CPT) While the energy is less intense, early versions of the Thermage system were still a bit powerful. Patients often reported pain during the procedure because of the...
Fractional skin resurfacing is involved in a lot of cosmetic procedures. Skin damage and wrinkles can be eliminated through this method. Quick treatment of facial imperfections is an attribute of Palomar Laser Resurfacing. The treatment does not require spending a lot of money. What Makes Palomar Fractional Laser Resurfacing Different? Palomar Fractional Laser Resurfacing gives people the option of improving their appearance without downtime. Microbeams are used in the procedure to target the tissues that need fixing. That is why it is able to heal in a short period of time. Additionally, side effects are reduced after the treatment. Two types of skin areas can be focused on by Palomar home laser. The first kind is called ablative and it is done by vaporizing the damaged tissues on the skin. The other kind is called non-ablative and what this does is to thicken the affected tissue with a laser beam. Ablative procedures only take a one time appointment for most people. Minimal or no downtime is associated with non-ablative treatments. Benefits One can get a lot of advantages from this procedure. Both the clients and the practitioners benefit from the process. What’s good about the procedure for the patients is that it doesn’t consume too much time. The process also entails less pain for the client. Both redness and swelling can be avoided in the process. When the treatment is done, patients are more likely to be satisfied since there is no scarring. When it comes to other infections, the same thing applies. What pleases the clients about the procedure is that its outcomes are guaranteed to...
Refirme skin tightening is a non-invasive treatments that will improve the condition of people’s skin. This treatment makes it easy to attain a younger look despite one’s age. What the procedure does is focus on skin areas that make aging look evident. The procedure treats parts of the skin that make people look old like sagging under the eyes, sagging brows and wrinkles. The uniqueness of skin tightening with Refirme can be attributed to the fact that it does not consume much time from the patient’s daily routine. Furthermore, patients feel comfortable while they are undergoing the treatment. The Refirme Procedure Dermal tissue is heated during the Refirme Procedure. When you combine light energies with bi-polar radio frequency, the heating happens. Since the heating is accurate, it results in the elimination of wrinkles and sagging skin. The lifting of the face is also one of the outcomes of the procedure. Another thing that is focused on in this treatment is the tone of the skin. Smoother and brighter skin is an outcome of the procedure. Evening skin tone is also one of the roles of the treatment. Other treatments use predictable lasers but Refirme laser treatment does not include this since it only makes use of minimal optical energy. This is the reason why the procedure is safe for its clients. Pain is non-existent during the process and this leads to better results. Many people like the treatment for it does not have any downtime. Refirme laser skin tightening is able to treat many different skin parts. Droopy skin in the face, abdomen, knees, and arms can be repaired...
Liposuction has grown increasingly popular over the years, driven by people’s desire to feel more confident and satisfied with their appearance. To meet this demand, the medical community has advanced the field by developing laser-assisted liposuction techniques. These modern alternatives not only offer a less invasive and more comfortable experience than traditional liposuction, but they also come with fewer side effects and significantly shorter recovery times. Smartlipo MPX technology has been used for dental procedures, cosmetic operations, lasik eye surgeries, and reconstructive procedures. The laser technology uses powerful light amplifications to provide a more precise and a much safer way to melt the fat cells in the body. SmartLipo MPX Versus Traditional Lipo Compared to traditional liposuction which uses a mechanical motion to remove fat build-ups, SmartLipo MPX makes use of calibrated laser to melt of the fat that is attached to the patient’s epidermis. After the fat cells are ruptured, the resulting liquid is suctioned off through the small incisions done on the area. Because of this, there is less bleeding, swelling, and bruising than traditional lipo procedures. The effects of SmartLipo MPX procedures are also experienced after a much shorter waiting time. Even better, they only use local anesthesia; compared to traditional liposuction surgeries that use general anesthesia. Because the patients are awake during the procedures, they experience less risks and less complications. SmartLipo MPX has proven to be the safest and the most efficient among all the laser-assisted body sculpting procedures in the market. Patients who have undergone this type of liposuction have managed to get optimal results, even if the procedures are carried out with...
Skin tightening products usually take the form of creams and lotions that tighten the skin from the outside. However, experts agree that topical cosmetic serums only give a temporary tightening feeling that does not last for a long time. For the effects to last long, changes need to be done on the inner layers of the skin. Only procedures done by dermatologists and skin doctors can rejuvenate and improve the skin semi-permanently. Ulthera Skin Tightening The Ulthera skin tightening system uses a further refined ultrasound machine to cosmetically improve the skin without using surgery. It can improve hard to reach areas that used to be targeted solely by face lift procedures. This new technology can decrease droopiness on the eye area, minimize lines all over the face, tighten sagging cheeks, and restore the skin’s youthful glow and texture. This procedure is usually administered by medical professionals who have been properly trained for this alternative use of the ultrasound technology. This procedure uses a “see and treat” technique that uses ultrasound imaging and therapy. Mild heat emitted by the machine is used to perform safe noninvasive treatments to the inner depths of the skin. What Happens During the Procedure? An ultrasound applicator is used to project an image of the inner layers of the skin and to deliver focused heat. The low level of heat used in this procedure is enough to stimulate the skin to produce collagen, which is a natural skin protein that gives it its firmness and elasticity. No anesthesia is required. After an hour of the Ulthera skin tightening treatment, patients may go back to their...
There are many plastic surgery treatments aimed at tightening the skin and rejuvenating it, giving the appearance of healthier, younger complexion, all by eliminating the wrinkles and fine lines that are present. A lot of these, however, are very invasive, requiring surgery that could very well be traumatic to the patient, and requires a long recovery time. What is Thermage However, there is a procedure that can do skin tightening, line and wrinkle reduction, and eliminating sagging skin, all without pain, surgery, and best of all, has no need for long recovery times. This technology is called Thermage, a system that uses heat to tighten the layers beneath the skin in order to have a tightening effect. Thermage facelift is ideal for people who wish to have the beneficial effects of traditional facelift, but do not want to contend with the accompanying surgical trauma and recovery time needed. The results from Thermage are more subtle, but requires almost no recovery time. This is ideal for patients who are very busy and cannot afford the time, or very conscious about the possible appearance of scars resulting from incisions. Procedure A thermage treatment does not need any anesthesia or sedatives, because patients generally do not feel any pain whatsoever during the procedure. The surgeon then uses the Thermage Thermacool device, an instrument that uses radiofrequency energy, on the target area, tightening the skin’s collagen to fill out any fine lines and wrinkles. This in turn eliminates the prominence of these lines and wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful look. The Thermage treatment targets all three layers of the face’s skin,...

After you have dieted and exercised your way to your ideal weight, you may be left with sagging skin. Rapid weight loss results in loose skin, especially around the abdominal area. Surgery can be an option, but for those wary of going under the knife, here is a different solution. Even plastic surgeons recommend waiting at least two years from the start date of your ideal weight before allowing cosmetic surgery to be an option. Make sure to exhaust all natural remedies first, before trying surgery. Natural Treatment Skin care treatment is a must. The first step to caring for your skin involves exfoliation of dead skin cells. Performing this daily routine will stimulate the skin’s circulation and cause skin tightening. A great agent to use for exfoliation is sea salt. You can purchase sea salt solutions at your local beauty supply store, or from an independent beauty consultant. High quality solutions cost around $28. While you are showering, you can apply a light layer of the sea salt solution to any rough patches of skin or loose skin, or you can simply pour the solution into a drawn bath and soak while the agent works to eliminate toxins and renew skin tone. Go to the gym and have an instructor measure your body fat percentage. In order to decrease the number, you’ll need to replace fat with muscle. A personal trainer can give you all the information you will need to target your personal areas that need work. To refine skin’s elasticity, try a raw food diet. Raw foods such as coconut, olives, tomatoes, and cucumber are excellent...
Liposuction is one of the most sought-after cosmetic surgical procedures since its introduction in 1976. It was intended to remove unwanted localized fat collections, employing the use of general anesthesia to control pain. Complications plagued the traditional or otherwise known as “dry” method of liposuction, due to massive fluid shifts, extensive blood loss requiring blood transfusions, and long recovery period. In 1987, the “super wet” or tumescent technique of liposuction was devised by American dermatologist Jeffrey Klein to lessen the risks associated with the earlier method. What Is Tumescent Liposuction? Tumescent liposuction refers to infiltration of targeted fat cells with diluted solution made up of a local anesthetic, lidocaine and the blood constrictor, epinephrine. Tumescent liposuction results in lesser blood loss and postoperative pain, swelling, and bruising. The use of lidocaine allows you to skip the whole process of general anesthesia, thus making it possible for lesser complications, down time and hospital bills. Tumescent means “swollen.” Upon the delivery of the solution, swelling ensues in the fat cells, hence the term Tumescent Liposuction. The swelling and firmness of the cells amplify the targeted areas for liposuction, making it easier to manipulate the tube with less tissue damage. Advantages over Traditional Liposuction The use of local anesthesia lessens the risks related to general anesthesia. Down time is less. Less blood and fluid loss There is no need for intravenous fluid replacement. Lidocaine has antibacterial action, thus preventing infection. Lidocaine is fat-soluble so it is suctioned out with the aspirated fats The cannula used for tumescent liposuction is smaller and less invasive. Gradual and more controlled removal of the fats Lesser scarring...
