Coolsculpting in a trailer?
Dec 21, 2017
Hello and thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is a non-invasive medical procedure that should be done under physician supervision. It permanently removes fat from your body, and if done by the wrong person, can leave you looking quite disfigured. You were right to keep driving past the single wide trailer! There are many people out there who may claim to be proficient at Coolsculpting and have a real Coolsculpting device but the truth of it is, the pricing...
i have strong and deep crows feet and under eye wrinkles.
Treatment option
Oct 25, 2017
It is very important to have a good skin care regimen that includes plenty of sunscreen because the sun’s damaging rays are the biggest contributor of aging. I also recommend Botox to relax the muscles that, by repeated motion, create fine lines and wrinkles. In your case, for moderate to severe static lines (lines that are visible at rest), adding dermal fillers, would be a great option. I recommend a full facial evaluation with an experienced p...

I have scars on my face from car accident and acne. What is the cheapest way to make my skin look
Full facial evaluation
Oct 25, 2017
It is always best to start with a full facial evaluation with a board-certified physician. One great option for your skin concerns is microneedling with PRP. This can help build up the collagen framework beneath the top layer of the skin and diminish the appearance of scars.
What treatment would be for this?
Treatment option for your concern
Oct 16, 2017
Repetitive muscular movements are the cause of many of the fine lines and wrinkles in the face. For the above mentioned, Botox can be used to relax the muscles and prevent the appearance of the lines that are caused by the movement in your area of concern. Dermal fillers can be added to fill deeper lines. I would recommend that you have a formal facial consultation to determine the best treatment plan for this area. It is important to add a good skin care regimen...

After receiving Belotero injections...
Oct 16, 2017
After receiving Belotero injections, bruising can occur. Bruising and swelling can last up to two weeks, and occasionally longer in some patients. There are certain medications, such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, as well as some herbs, that can thin the blood and make you more likely to bruise. It is best to avoid these medications for at least a week before your procedure. Topical Arnica Montana can help with the bruising. Also, using cold...

Swelling in tear trough after Belotero no improvement after 5 days, does this look normal? (photos
Swelling is commonly seen after Belotero dermal filler
Oct 16, 2017
Swelling is commonly seen after Belotero dermal filler treatment in the tear trough area. I recommend that you wait at least two weeks to completely heal. The best way to help under eye swelling is to sleep with the head elevated. I would try sleeping on two or three pillows, and try not to sleep on your face. Remember to protect your skin from the sun if you are outside by using plenty of sun screen. It is recommended that you avoid strenuous activity,...

Would Botox be the solution to the loose skin on my face after weight loss?
Treatment options
Oct 16, 2017
Hello and thank you for your question. Areas affected by dynamic wrinkle (wrinkles that appear with facial expression) or static wrinkles (wrinkles that are always there) can be treated with Botox for a more relaxed and smooth look; however, this treatment won't fix loose skin. On the contrary, dermal fillers, such as Juvederm Voluma, can increase volume in the cheek area, making the skin around the mouth tighter, and give you nice volume and contour of the...
Does Coolsculpting get rid of or change the amount of fat cells on your body?
Coolsculpting and fat cells
Oct 3, 2017
The number of fat cells are reduced by 20-25% with each treatment. However, if you gain weight, the fat cells can still increase in size. Even if your overall weight hasn’t changed, but you have an increase in body fat percentage (meaning you have more fat weight than before but less muscle or water weight so your overall weight hasn’t changed) you can have an increase in size of the remaining fat cells. I encourage you to visit your physician for follow up and clinical rec...
Will Voluma help lift area around mouth?
Dermal filler would be a good choice
Sep 15, 2017
Dermal filler would be a good choice, especially the hyaluronic acid filler Voluma XC. It can lift and contour cheeks and lasts up to 18 months. Often times, clients want the lines around the mouth filled out, but by adding volume to this area directly it can create an unnatural and unflattering appearance to the face. Judging by your photo, by adding volume to the higher portions of your cheekbones, you can smooth moderate to severe lines around the area of...
