Botox treatments usually last four to six months. Follow the tips below to help your Botox last longer!

Botox is most commonly used for cosmetic procedures. It is a non surgical procedure that injects the Botox into the area on the face which is to be treated. Botox is typically used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. There is no downtime and results can be seen quickly – within 3-4 days. It is a great alternative to surgery which can be expensive and have downtime. But, can you make your Botox last longer?

Botox freezes muscles and creates a smooth appearance. While there is not a cream on the market that is as effective as Botox(yet) we suggest the following after your procedure to help your Botox last longer.

  1. Use a daily moisturizer and sunscreen. See this previous post about the top 4 skin products everyone needs.
  2. Enjoy a healthy lifestyle and keep hydrated – water is the best kept secret to having flawless skin!
  3. Do not smoke. Smoking not only can cause cancer, but it also creates unnecessary wrinkles in the face. Quit the habit now and stop aging quickly.
  4. Avoid excess stress – stress causes many side effects in the body including wrinkles in the forehead.
  5. Add a niacinamide cream in your daily skin care routine. See here for more information.

What is Laser Lipolysis?

Laser lipolysis is a minimally invasive fat reduction procedure.  It involves the use of a laser to rapidly dissolve excess fat in target areas such as the thighs, abdomen, arms, neck and parts of the face, using a minor “keyhole” surgical procedure. A very fine laser fiber is inserted under the skin into the treatment area. The laser light causes swelling and rupture of fat cells. When the fat is melted, it can either be absorbed by the body or removed by the physician. How does CoolSculpting vs laser lipolysis differ?

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is also a fat reduction procedure but instead of “burning” the fat cells, the CoolSculpting procedure “freezes” the fat cells. The cells then die and the body eliminates them. Each session takes about one hour. There is little to no downtime with this procedure and patients can expect minimal soreness.  CoolSculpting is recommended for treating the abdomen, love handles, inner thighs, back and chin. Laser lipolysis is best for the abdomen and love handles only.

Three Things You Need To Know About CoolSculpting Double Chin

DON’T LET YOUR DOUBLE CHIN BE THE SINGLE THING YOU SEE WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR!
Having a double chin can make people look older than their real age. Let us help you lose the “turkey neck” and reveal the younger looking you with CoolSculpting double chin.

    1. The CoolSculpting procedure can treat visible fat bulges under the chin and contour the neck. Freezing away fat from a double chin is as easy and tolerable as using the CoolSculpting procedure on other parts of the body. With CoolSculpting treatment for a double chin, patients see results after just 1 to 2 visits. And with no surgery, no needles, and no downtime.

 

    1. When CoolSculpting double chin, we use a smaller applicator that has best results on smaller areas. This helps the physician target the areas precisely that need to be treated. The smaller applicator also helps the patient have a comfortable and positive treatment.

 

    1. Patients see results with only 1-2 sessions! CoolSculpting is a fat reduction, not weight loss procedure. Therefore, when treating the small are of the neck results can be seen quickly. Expect full results within 1-2 months after the last treatment. This gives the body time to flush out the frozen fat cells.

Botox Cosmetic can be used for many procedures on the face and body. Botox has been FDA approved in the United States since 2002 and has since been used in millions of procedures. Botox is now used for migraine treatment, excessive sweating and now we can offer a botox brow lift.

 

Sagging brows can age the face. The forehead has many different muscle groups and to get a perfect botox brow lift one must research the physician before having the procedure. There are “elevator” muscles in the forehead which give the appearance of horizontal lines in the forehead. There are also “depressors” which account for crows feet. The experienced physician can insert the botox into two or three muscles that pull the brow down to create a slight lift.

As with any medical procedure research is very important. The botox brow lift  must be done by a physician with experience in this procedure. If done incorrectly the patient may end up with a stunned look. Call our office for a complimentary consultation. We sit with our patients to discuss any concerns they may have and can offer references for the procedures we perform in our relaxing office atmosphere in New Jersey.

There are so many options available for weight loss on the market. Diet, exercise, weight loss supplements and surgery are all methods that many people try when changing their body and lifestyle. Today we will learn more about CoolSculpting and how it can change your body. But can CoolSculpting reduce excess skin?

CoolSculpting has been called Hollywood’s best kept secret. It is the only FDA cleared non-surgical fat reduction treatment to use controlled cooling on the market. This procedure is best for stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. The results are long lasting as once the fat is frozen and eliminated from the body it will not return.

Patients who have good skin laxity will often see the skin firm up after receiving the CoolSculpting procedure. The skin will tighten up to four months after the procedure. Patients who do not have good skin laxity or loose skin before the procedure will not likely see any difference after the procedure. The best option for patients with extra skin after a weight loss surgery is additional surgery. CoolSculpting will not help with loose skin tightening up once the fat is frozen and flushed from the body.

Many people notice signs of aging when they look in the mirror and notice skin that has lost its elasticity and begins to sag around the face, jawline and neck.This is a natural and continuous process that normally begins in our mid-20s and continues. Lifestyle, diet, personal habits and sun exposure often act together with the normal aging process to prematurely age our skin. Most premature aging is caused by sun and environmental exposure. Other external factors that prematurely age our skin are repetitive facial expressions, gravity, sleeping positions, and smoking. Good news, the Syneron Profound tightening device can help to reverse the aging process!

What Are Treatment Options For Sagging Jowls, Nasolabial Folds or A Sagging Neck?

There are many different treatment options for all of these procedures mentioned above. Methods to tighten the skin in the face include dermabrasion, chemical peels, surgery, dermal fillers, CoolSculpting, laser procedures and more. While a surgical facelift is the most productive, it involves downtime, is invasive and will not last forever. Many patients come to us to seek non invasive procedures with minimal downtime to diminish the signs of aging.

What is the Syneron Profound Tightening Device?

The Profound device uses radiofrequency to target the deeper dermis and controls the temperature end point precisely. It is an innovative device that utilizes a microneedle electrode array to deliver bi-polar RF energy directly
into the deep reticular dermis and incorporates a patented Real Time Temperature Control algorithm to
predictably meet the desired thermal endpoint.Patients can see improvement in tone, texture and elasticity and in many cases, tightening along the jawline and neck. Patients see a dramatic difference in skin tightening in the area treated within 4-6 weeks.

Does CoolSculpting Treat Cellulite?

We hear this question along with many others about CoolSculpting treatments. CoolSculpting is an FDA approved fat reduction treatment. It is used to treat stubborn fat in the abdomen, flanks and neck area(double chin).  It is not an effective treatment for cellulite.

Cellulite is a fat deposit beneath the skin that looks like lumpy, dimpled flesh. Anyone can have cellulite, skinny, overweight and ideal weight people can all have cellulite. Most doctors agree that cellulite is hereditary and is passed through genetics. Diet and exercise can help with the appearance along with laser treatments and retinol creams. Unfortunately, there is not any proven method of eliminating cellulite permanently at this time.

CoolSculpting freezes fat cells that are then naturally eliminated from the body. By reducing fat cells in an area of the body that has cellulite like the abdomen or thighs, some patients see smoother skin after CoolSculpting. This does not permanently remove cellulite though as there are many other factors that attribute to cellulite. Hormonal changes, diet, exercise and genetics all play a role in the amount of cellulite on the body.

Cellfina is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive, one-time procedure that is clinically proven to treat the primary structural cause of cellulite for long-lasting results. This treatment has only been approved for the buttocks and thigh areas of the adult female.

If you have any questions about CoolSculpting, Cellfina or cellulite reduction, give us a call and we can schedule your complimentary consultation in our office in Summit, New Jersey.

With more than 3 million CoolSculpting treatments already performed around the world we have been able to track the long term effects of CoolSculpting. There are not any negative long term effects of CoolSculpting reported at this time. The procedure is unique because the frozen fat cells are naturally eliminated by the body and never come back. It is not a weight loss surgery and should not be compared to that procedure. This procedure is a fat reduction procedure.
