Carboxytherapy for Stretch Marks

Carbon Dioxide Therapy [Carboxytherapy] refers to the administration of minute amounts of Carbon Dioxide gas just beneath the skin surface.  It is a relatively painless, in office procedure that is completed in 5 minutes with no residual downtime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Doctor uses carboxytherapy to treat cellulite because it does not involve the injection of foreign substances into the skin. Carboxytherapy has been shown to destroy these subdermal fat cells, without harming the surrounding skin structures.  Ccarboxytherapy shrinks “double chins,” to lessen the dreaded “back fat” that bulges along the bra-line, to treat fatty upper arms, and to treat cellulite on the legs.

Exilis

How would you like to get rid of excess fat and tighten your skin fast with no surgery and the treatments are completely safe?  Exilis is the new technology that works with all skin types and patients can see improvement after just one treatment session. Exilis is FDA Approved and can improve skin laxity and appearance of wrinkles, and many patients report a reduction in total fat volume.

 

Exilis Body Shaping

The FDA approved technological marvel, called Exilis Body Shaping, offers the unique combination of radiofrequency energy (radiowaves) and oscillating mechanical waves for the first time in the United States marketplace.

What makes this combination of RF and oscillating waves so powerful? Well, it used to be that the only way to remove fat volume from the body (aside from diet and exercise) was liposuction, which requires an incision (scar) and downtime from regular daily activities. There are several machines on the market that use radiowaves alone, or combined with other forms of energy that can tighten the skin, or treat cellulite, but none can promise actual circumferential reduction until now.  The search for a shapelier silhouette continues to drive patients to seek aesthetic therapies, but not everyone is willing to go under the knife to lose inches.

Here’s why: Fat cells are actually stored in the body in lobules that are clustered like a bunch of grapes. These clusters are wrapped in a fibrous tissue layer like a hairnet that holds them together. This fibrous tissue layer makes it virtually impossible to reach the fatty clusters without a liposuction cannula—until now.  The Exilis uses the vibrations of oscillating mechanical waves to rattle the fat lobules out of their fibrous cage, and then blasts them with the radiofrequency heat to ramp up their metabolic activity and shrink the size of the fat cells. All of this occurs in a painless and quick 20 minute office procedure with no downtime or limitations on your activities!  The technology used by the Exilis device is literally the ‘wave’ of the future.

Thermage vs VelaShape Scientific Reason

Thermage is the best treatment for the loose skin and laxity under the belly button. Here is the scientific reason.

First thermage is FDA approved for skin tightening, if you look at the FDA clearance on Velashape  is indicated for dermal heating, not skin tightening. Thermage is also a stronger machine, working at the highest Mg Hz on the market for a RF device. Thermage is monopolar, so it is able to work deeper into the skin to effect change, thereby penetrating at least 4.2 mm into the skin, while velashape at its max is 1.5mm. Since the Dermis, which is the main collagen structure of your skin is deeper than 1.5 mm it makes more sense to utilize the machine that treats the dermis.
