New You For 2022

After the New Year when the holidays are over, it’s time to do something for yourself, like improving those areas you may be self-conscious about: your stubborn body fat or veiny legs.

A beautiful new you begins with a consultation with your dermatologic surgeon and vein specialist to see what treatments and options are best for you.

SmartLipo^® Laser Body Sculpting

SmartLipo laser body sculpting is minimally invasive treatment that helps to eliminate those stubborn areas of fat works by permanently destroying fat cells. This allows you to create the curves and contours ideal for your body without the concern of fat returning in areas treated. If you maintain a healthy diet and exercise, you can finally have the body you’ve always wanted.

SmartLipo laser body sculpting is a laser-assisted lipolysis (fat destruction) procedure performed using a one millimeter cannula (or tube) inserted into the skin. A laser fiber inside of the cannula delivers energy directly to fat cells, causing them to rupture and drain away as a liquid, which is removed during the procedure.

Simultaneously, tissue around the area coagulates, resulting in overall skin tightening. It is a minimally invasive procedure, which usually requires only local anesthesia.

Results can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over three to six months. A compression garment is worn for a short period after treatment, depending on the body area treated.

Emtone – New Treatment For Cellulite

Emtone is the first and only device that simultaneously delivers both thermal and mechanical energy to treat all major contributing factors to cellulite.

How Does Emtone Work?

Cellulite is a multi-factorial problem. Women are told fibrous bands run from skin to muscle through the fat. When the bands pull downward on the skin, the fat pushes upward. But there is more to the story…

Emtone simultaneously emits both radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy. Combined there is a synergistic effect that neither technology can achieve on its own.

How Long Does an Emtone Treatment Last?

During the first visit, your provider helps design your individual treatment plan. Most patients undergo four treatments, scheduled once or twice a week. A treatment typically takes about 20 minutes depending on the treated area.

What Does an Emtone Treatment Feel Like?

Revolutionary Emtone technology is based on a simultaneous delivery of thermal and mechanical energy. The most common perception of the therapy is that it is similar to a hot stone massage with intense mechanical vibrations. The treatment is performed in a relaxing lying-down position.

How Fast Will I See Results from Emtone treatments?

Patients have reported improvements after a single treatment session. The results typically continue to improve over the next few months. With no downtime, you may resume normal activity immediately after the treatment.
