Am I a Candidate for Bellafill?

You already know that dermal fillers can lift your features, add volume and smooth away wrinkles, but you’re concerned that they need constant upkeep and maintenance. That’s not the case with Bellafill®, which can provide results that last for quite a while.

What is Bellafill®?

This is an innovative dermal filler that takes only minutes to carry out, provides long-lasting results and requires no surgery or real recovery. With Bellafill®, you can get a youthful, radiant look after just one treatment. It has been used on hundreds of thousands of men and women in Canada, Europe and the U.K. It is the only long-term dermal filler approved for use in the US.

How Does It Work?

Bellafill® combines polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres and bovine collagen. The collagen gives you instant volume while increasing the firmness of your skin. The PMMA microspheres fill your wrinkles and encourage continuing collagen production. This dual action allows the product to work on two levels. It gives you immediate results, and it allows your skin to continue improving over time.

What Makes Bellafill® Different?

It erases deep wrinkles around the nose, forehead and lips.
It makes your skin smooth and firm.
It also erases acne scars.
It helps you regain lost volume in your cheeks.
The results can last for a year or more.

What is the Procedure Like?

The Bellafill® procedure takes just minutes to complete. Before the treatment, we will make sure to discuss your goals and let you know what to expect. This treatment can be performed in the comfort of our office. You won’t need to take any real time off to get it done. You can get it done during a break from your other activities and then return to them immediately.

What Results Can You Expect?

Bellafill® gives you instant results that only improve over time. The initial injection fills your wrinkles and acne scars, plumping them up to create a smooth skin appearance. The patented microspheres remain in your skin and cause it to continue producing collagen.

Is the Treatment Right for You?

This could be a good choice if you:

Want your face to look rejuvenated but don’t want surgery.
Are looking for a dermal filler that won’t need such frequent upkeep.
Have deep wrinkles and scars that you want filled.
Are not allergic to any of its ingredients.

Who Can Benefit from SculpSure?

SculpSure

SculpSure is a noninvasive, laser based treatment to target and eliminate or reduce fat. The procedure is effective for women, men and numerous body types. Multiple areas can be targeted simultaneously during the procedure. This nonsurgical, non-invasive cosmetic body treatment is extremely popular. This is especially true regarding fat reduction. The procedure does not require anesthesia or surgery. There is little or no recovery time necessary, and the treatment is fast.

The SculpSure procedure uses a heat laser belt to eliminate fat cells with specific wavelengths. It is important to note this treatment is not intended to be used as a weight loss method or for obesity. It is important to let the health care professional which areas of the body you want to target. The practitioner can then determine how many treatments will be necessary to reach your goals.

You will have a SculpSure consultation prior to completing your first procedure. This is when you will ask any questions you may have, provide a current list of medications and discuss your medical history. SculpSure is a kind of lipolysis, a process designed to eliminate fat. The technology is designed to melt away fat cells.

The SculpSure Treatment

During the procedure, you will be sitting in a reclined and comfortable position. The areas of your body to be treated will be marked by a qualified professional. The device is then calibrated to emit enough heat to destroy the fat cells while leaving your skin intact. The device alternates between a heat laser and a cooling effect. Throughout your treatment session, you can take a nap, read, or relax.

The eliminated fat cells will be naturally flushed out by your lymphatic system over time after completing your treatment. If you are interested in additional treatments to reach your optimal results, they can be scheduled after the initial procedure. Your body will metabolize the fat cells that were eliminated. This means you should see noticeable results as the weeks go by. The cells eliminated by the laser will not regenerate. You can maintain your results with exercise and a healthy diet.

Choose NeoGraft for Hair Restoration

Those dealing with hair loss can feel like there is no hope. In the past, options were limited. Thanks to medical and scientific advances however, there is now the revolutionary treatment known as NeoGraft™. This method of hair restoration can give you dramatic results and have you looking and feeling like yourself again.

How Does NeoGraft™ Work?

NeoGraft™ is an automated hair transplant system. It uses Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), which is much quicker and far more accurate than the old, manual method of doing things. This method of extraction requires no surgical openings or stitches. The steps that go into the NeoGraft™ treatment for hair restoration are as follows:

Removing the Donor Hair – Hair is carefully chosen from the back of the head to be implanted into the target area. This hair has been shown to have the best odds of successful implantation.
Prepare the Follicular Units – The grafts that will be implanted are all made to be the same length and consistency. This has been shown to further increase the chances of successful implantation.
Preparing the Implantation Area – Recipient sites for the hair transplants will need to be made. They are crafted with the proper orientation, direction, and angle in order to make your results look natural.
Implant the Hair Grafts – After separating the hair grafts by size, they are carefully implanted in the recipient sites. Each graft will be implanted individually in order to ensure accuracy and a high chance of success.

Results with NeoGraft™

Once the implantation is complete, the follicles will still be alive and will continue to grow at their normal rate. After a few weeks, this hair will shed. This is a normal and natural part of the process. New hair growth then will appear after a few months and grow at the same rate as the rest of your hair.

Who Should Consider NeoGraft™?

Good candidates for this treatment will have moderate to severe hair loss, but still enough donor hair. They will also be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for their results. Although men and women lose hair for different reasons, NeoGraft™ can be an effective treatment for almost everyone. Whether your hair loss is being caused by genetics, stress, medications, or disease, this treatment can help.

All About Fat Freezing with CoolSculpting

Perhaps you have already heard of CoolSculpting®. This revolutionary new treatment has been changing lives and helping people finally get rid of stubborn pockets of fat. It is completely non-surgical and non-invasive. Unclear on how exactly fat freezing translates into fat reduction? You are warmly invited to learn more.

How Does CoolSculpting® Work?

CoolSculpting® works by destroying fat cells in a targeted area. It accomplishes this by freezing them to the point that they crystallize. Once this has happened, they are no longer able to store fat. They will release what they have been stubbornly clinging on to, allowing your body to flush them out. Better still, these destroyed fat cells will never be able to store fat again. Since your body no longer produces new fat cells after your teenage years, you can see permanent results with CoolSculpting®. That being said, be sure to maintain a healthy lifestyle so that new “problem areas” do not appear.

What Areas Can CoolSculpting® Treat?

This treatment is designed to target areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise alone. Popular areas to have it done include:

Belly
Love handles
Thighs
Upper arms

Many people find that they have more than one area that they would like treated. Each session of CoolSculpting® is performed in the comfort of our office and results in no downtime.

The CoolSculpting® Treatment

During the time you are having this treatment done, you will be able to relax. Although you may notice an intense cold feeling for the first few minutes, this fades quickly, and the treatment truly does become quite relaxing. So relaxing, in fact, that people sometimes fall asleep! You can also spend the time reading, working on your phone, etc.

Results develop over time as the body flushes out the fat. Most people start noticing visible results in the weeks after their treatment. Improvements will continue for the following months, and you should be happy to know that the results look totally natural.
