Laser Hair Removal

I think we all have tried the different ways of getting rid of excess hair; shaving, waxing, depilatories and employing an electrologist to do laser hair removal. All are popular but it helps to know a little about the different types of hair on our bodies before considering any type of removal procedure. All hair is made of keratin, a hard protein that’s also found in our fingernails and toenails. Hair growth begins beneath the surface of your skin, in a hair root deep inside a hair follicle, which is a small tube within the skin itself.

One of the most common cosmetic procedures performed in the United States today is Laser Hair Removal New York. Laser hair removal can remove unwanted hair in those individuals who just want to get rid of some excess hair on their bodies. Laser Hair Removal New York is ranked second among cosmetic procedures behind Botox injections in frequency of procedures performed. This procedure has become a safe and highly sought after cosmetic procedure and is used by both men and women throughout the United State, Europe and Asia.

Lip Augmentation

Having our lips enlarged somewhat has become very popular not only in the U.S. in recent years, but in other areas of the world it also has become popular. The cosmetic procedure for lip enlargement is called lip augmentation. This procedure of enlarging the lips should always be performed by a trained and certified professional in a medical office setting. The procedure consists of implanting the lips with a cosmetic facial filler, fat transfer, or actual lip implants to create the desired results that the customer happens to be looking for.

Some of the procedures available have more temporary results, while some have longer lasting results for the patient.  There are many different materials used for this procedure and many times the desired end results will determine the type of material used. Most of the materials are either injected or surgically implanted, and always under very sanitary and strict standards.

Exilis Body Shaping

The search for a shapelier silhouette continues to drive patients to seek aesthetic type therapies, but not everyone is willing to go under the knife to lose inches, and many are choosing the popular Exilis Procedures for body shaping at its best.

It used to be that the only way to remove ugly fat volume from the body (aside from diet and exercise) was liposuction, which requires an incision (scar) and downtime from regular daily activities. Most people don’t want this. This fairly new technological marvel, called Exilis Body Shaping, that offers the unique combination of radiofrequency energy (radiowaves) and oscillating mechanical waves for the first time in the United States marketplace. It is FDA approved also.

The technology used by the Exilis Procedure device is literally the ‘wave’ of the future.

Exilis Non Surgical Fat Removal Procedure

Today, there are so many so called fat reduction procedures that come and go, one just doesn’t know what is safe and what isn’t safe.  You see ads all over the place for these so called miracle fat removing procedures, then they suddenly disappear and it makes you wonder why.

Well, I just learned about a very safe, painless, and quick 20 minute office procedure called Exilis Non Surgical Fat Removal Procedure that has no downtime or limitations on your activities and it’s been around for a long time, and proven safe. The Exilis Procedure uses radiofrequency energy to volumetrically heat the deeper tissues and to ramp up the metabolic activity of the fat cells, causing them to shrink.

The patient satisfaction rate is high, with circumferential reductions ranging from 4 cm to 15 cm of volume loss after 4 treatment sessions spaced at 2 week intervals. The procedure is FDA approved and the popularity of the procedure is sweeping the country.

Lumixyl Skin Brightening

Finally, there is now a multi faceted system to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and without the side effects associated with prescription Hydroquinone or retinoids. Whatever your skin tone, the highly successful  Lumixyl  Skin Brightening System works to uniformly even pigment on the surface of the skin and will not cause discolouration and works with most skin types.

Thermage Facelift Procedure

As we grow older, we all experience the breakdown of the collagen that provides structure to our face. In some people this happens faster and is more severe. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles begin to form on our face; around our eyes, nose, neck, etc. Thank goodness now there are the Thermage Procedures available to us to help with this problem and many other cosmetic problems that we all do or will face at some time. Thermage has proven to 10s of thousands that the popular treatments work with aging of the skin and works well on all parts of the body. Even cellulite problems can be helped with Thermage.

How Thermage actually works on the face area is that it stimulates the gradual growth of new collagen and the procedure temporarily reduces wrinkles and renews facial contours and this is achieved without any surgery, and very little downtime on the patients part. The most common benefits of using the Thermage Facelift procedure is achieving tighter skin and renewing your natural facial contouring. This procedure can smooth out wrinkles, leaving you with a more radiant and younger looking appearance. The Thermage Facelift procedure can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on how large of an area being treated. The Thermage Facelift procedure has been referred to as the “lunch hour facelift”, allowing the patient to return to work looking like a new person and feeling good inside also.

The Genuine Dermaroller

The Genuine Dermaroller skin microneedling system is a superior alternative to LASER treatments for the reversal of sun-damage and aging of the skin. The Dermaroller microneedling system consists of a cosmetic home-use model for the face, the Beauty Mouse Dermaroller for the body (available only through a physician), and more advanced treatments that can be performed within the physician’s office by a licensed medical doctor.  This product allows for a deeper penetration into the skins surface.

The home-use cosmetic Dermaroller has 192 micro-fine needles that are 0.15 mm in length, just the perfect length to exfoliate the superficial epidermis. Since the nerves are located well below this level, Dermarolling doesn’t hurt, it just tickles!
You can go online or look in the local yellow pages for the trained and certified physician in your area that can  perform the Dermarolling procedures.

Thermage and Exilis continue to grow and dominate Skin tightening

In the face of one of the most severe economic downturns in the history of our country, body shaping, skin tightening and body contouring have not slowed down at all. In fact those procedures are actually increasing and reaching an even wider audience and have clearly gone mainstream. Precision Aesthetics the only Thermage Black Diamond and Pinnacle Award winner in NY as well as the first practice to introduce Exilis in New York  has recently expanded to accommodate their increased demand. Thermage has maintained its leadership for facial rejuvenation or non surgical face lift as well as skin tightening for the body or body shaping.  The majority of educated patients seek out the more experienced Pinnacle Award and Black Diamond providers after reading that there is clearly a huge disparity in Thermage patient satisfaction. No matter what part of the country you live in before you choose a provider, research the Thermage website and find a Pinnacle or Black Diamond provider to insure that you get the best possible treatment that your skin is capable of achieving. There are other factors that come into play, such as your age, the amount of collagen that you are starting out with, supplementing with Vitamin C and other supplements specifically designed to help your body to build more collagen.  Find out exactly how many pulses or tips the provider is going to use for your treatment. ( each tip costs many hundreds of dollars)  which has led to the practice of “under treating” I remember when I went for my first Thermage many years ago, the Doctor only used a 600 tip on my face. He saved himself a  few hundred dollars but my “older” face demanded at least 900 pulses for an effective treatment. If you do your homework, find a practice where the technicians have been taught by an on staff physician lecturer ( someone who actually teaches the Doctors) as well as research the Thermage website to insure that you are getting your treatment from a provider with their coveted Black Diamond or Pinnacle Award, I am sure you will be one of the ones that are greatly satisfied with your results. Beware of bargain pricing I would rather pay  3 or $4000 for a terrific result than $1500 for no result.  Its not that complicated once you learn the lingo. Next time we will start interviewing Doctors from other parts of the country. Stay tuned.
