Great question! Results post treatment varies from person to person, depending on how much swelling you may have. After your CoolSculpting treatment, you will start to see changes after three weeks. Final results will be noticeable after 12-16 weeks post treatment. It’s important to keep up with your diet and exercise routine to maintain your body’s weight. CoolSculpting reduces the fat in the treated area but doesn’t affect untreated fat cells. If you haven’t seen noticea…

From the photos you provided, I can see the acne scars go underneath your skin’s surface, so a cream and microdermabrasion won’t be much help. You need a treatment that works into the underlying layers of your skin to help boost natural collagen and resurface the outer later. One of my favorite procedures is a Fractional CO2 Laser treatment. A Fractional CO2 Laser is a skin resurfacing system for all skin rejuvenation treatments, such as deep acne scars. Fractional CO2 tec…

CoolSculpting targets and eliminates fat cells in the treated area. The procedure does not tighten the skin however in younger patients or those with good skin elasticity the skin will remain tight as the fat is eliminated. However, if you already have skin laxity it should be thoroughly evaluated at your consultation and you should understand that the laxity will remain. Once the fat cells are eliminated from CoolSculpting the reduction in volume may make your skin appear…

That’s a good question! It’s definitely not too late to start using Botox. Botox is used in the field of cosmetic medicine to smooth those fine lines and wrinkles that have formed over the years from reduction of collagen and repeated muscle contractions. It works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the muscle in treated areas to reduce muscle activity temporarily. Botox will help you achieve a more restful and smooth appearance.
From the photos you have provided, I would…

In my professional opinion, I think CoolSculpting is the best non-surgical fat-reduction treatment. The safe and effective treatment targets stubborn unwanted fat that doesn’t seem to go away with diet and exercise. With each treatment, the CoolSculpting technology targets the stubborn area and permanently eliminates 20-25% of fat cells.
In January, CoolSculpting became FDA-cleared for upper arms, making it the only non-invasive fat removal procedure cleared by the FDA to t…

Great question! The recovery time from Juvederm varies from person to person. Patients will be able to see visible results the same day as the treatment. Some people experience moderate to mild swelling and bruising for about one to two weeks, but you will be able to continue with your normal routine immediately after your office visit. The full results will show after the one to two weeks period when you feel all the swelling and bruising are gone.
Hope this answers your…

Acne scars are the result of tissue damage caused by persistent inflammatory acne in the same skin area. For acne scars such as yours, I would recommend a Fractional CO2 Laser treatment. Fractional CO2 Laser is an ablative skin resurfacing system that reduces skin damage, such as acne scars and uneven skin texture. The laser system performs superficial and deep fractional treatments, working beneath the skin surface. The process stimulates new collagen that helps add…

I get this question a lot. From my experience, Juvederm Voluma is one of the better options for adding volume to the cheeks. When it comes to dermal fillers, the treatment goal is to add/restore fullness to the face with natural results. Juvederm Voluma is the only hyaluronic acid (a hydrating sugar-based substance that maintains moisture and nutrients in the skin cells) dermal filler FDA-approved to last up to a year. It’s a smooth consistency gel that spreads into the skin a…

Fine lines and wrinkles are caused by the loss of natural collagen in our skin caused by free radicals in the sun and environment. The primary cause is the repeated muscle contraction from frowning and squinting over the years. In my opinion, Botox is the best treatment for moderate to severe fine lines and wrinkles. It works beneath the skin’s surface and relaxes the muscle being targeted to reduce activity temporarily. After three to five days you will begin to notice v…

This is a good question. It’s hard to advise without an evaluation, but from what you described it sounds like you are the perfect candidate for CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is a procedure meant to treat “problem areas” that have unwanted stubborn fat cells that can’t be eliminated with diet and exercise.
There is no way to predict what you should expect as everyone’s body type and situation is different. If you don’t see results, I would give your CoolSculpting practitione…

We get this question a lot. CoolSculpting is a treatment meant to get rid of unwanted stubborn fat cells that can’t be eliminated with diet and exercise. With every treatment, about 20-25% of the fats cell are permanently reduced. With that said, how many treatments you may need depends on the amount of fat cells in the treated area. Most patients are recommended to treat the area one to three times, depending on the volume of tissue. To get the best results, I recommend v…

Really good question! The CoolSculpting treatment typically takes up to three months to notice full visible results. If your last treatment was a week ago, I recommend waiting until the 3 month mark before making any executive decisions. You should keep in mind that you may not notice the same results as you did after the first treatment because your body doesn’t have as many fat cells to eliminate in the treated area. With that said, after 3 months if you are not satisfied with t…

Great question! The “best” rejuvenation and resurfacing treatment depends on the individual and their specific skin concerns. From your photos, I believe you would benefit most from a treatment that improves the overall texture of the skin and stimulates collagen to keep your skin looking youthful and healthy. Laser treatments including fractional CO2 or an IPL/ResurFX combination would work great for you. The Fractional CO2 treatment is an ablative treatment meaning that sends…

Great question! Wrinkles and fine lines around the eye area are caused by free radicals in the sun and environment, and by the repeated muscle contractions from squinting over the years. I would recommend the combination of Botox and Juvéderm treatments. Botox works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the muscles around the eye area to reduce muscle activity temporarily. Juvéderm contains hyaluronic acid, a sugar-based substance that helps create volume and smoothness in the…

Good question! The CoolSculpting treatment is an FDA-cleared fat-reduction procedure which eliminates unwanted stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Each CoolSculpting treatment will permanently kill and eliminate 20-25% of fat cells in the treated area. To ensure you achieve your desired results, I recommend visiting a CoolSculpting practitioner for a consultation. Keeping in mind that everyone’s body is different, your CoolSculpting practitioner will work with y…
