Does CoolSculpting guarantee results? How do you know how many fats cells are freezing?
Coolsculpt Results
Jan 11, 2018
The only things guaranteed in life are death and taxes, with that said CoolSculpt offers great results for most people. The patient should be a qualified candidate for the procedure and photos documenting before and after along with weighing the patient are very important. Patients can see 20-25% reduction after the first treatment and up to 50% with a second treatment to the area after 4 weeks. The 3 month mark shows the peak of the results.
How much would it cost to remove this small tattoo from my finger?
Tattoo cost
Jan 11, 2018
Every office has a different price point, often times depending on the size per square inch of the tattoo. This tattooi may cost $250-300 per session, with maybe 3-4 sessions using the Enlighten3 laser. I cannot say with 100% certainty because it’s difficult to see the ink depth and quality with that photo.

Cost of Juvederm
Jan 11, 2018
Cost can vary from doctor to doctor. Some offices offer a lower cost if a non-physician (PA or nurse) does the procedure. Price can range from 500-700$ per 1 cc syringe in my area of NJ. Often times the more syringes you buy, you may get a discount on the total price.

Expiration for Juvederm

If the package says 2014, it’s definitely expired and cannot be returned or exchanged. Are you an injector? How did you obtain these packages? If you did not get them through Allergan, I would also not use them.
Can I take antibiotics after CoolSculpting?
Coolsculpt and antibiotics

Antibiotics should not effect the results or effect of coolsculpting. The procedure targets fat cells which are not effected by the antibiotics. There is no link to the two.
How Long Do I Have to Wait Before Having my Second Laser Tattoo Removal?
Time in between removal
Jan 6, 2018
Using our laser (state of the art Enlighten 3) we advise waiting 8-10 weeks between the first and second session. This gives time for the tattoo area to heal along with allowing the process of pigment degradation to take effect.
How Much Does Tattoo Removal Cost?
Laser Tattoo removal cost
Jan 6, 2018
I will start with one of my favorite sayings “You get what you pay for.” I have known many people to get a cheap price (per session) for their tattoo removal and have to undergo 8-12 sessions. This clearly adds up, is painful, and doesn’t really get the job done.
We have the newest laser – The Enlighten 3 and we also remove the tattoo with lidocaine (NO PAIN) – for no additional charge. We charge anywhere from $300-1200 a session depending on the size of the tattoo. On average, depending on…
HCG Diet – I’m considering the HCG diet.
HCG diet
Jan 6, 2018
As a physician who specializes in wellness, aesthetics and weight loss I can say that the hcg diet really works! How do I know, other than professional experience, I have personal experience, having used our program to boost my weight loss process. Here’s the caveat – you must be willing to adhere to the program and stick with it without cheating. Cheating derails the entire process. Also research the facility that offers the hcg diet ( call me a snob but as a board certified doctor who’s…
Can’t seem to lose any weight after HCG sublingual diet. The drops were real mixed myself.
Hcg drops
Jan 6, 2018
I commend you on trying to lose weight but I have to say that the drops you were taking were not hcg. Real HCG can only be obtained from a physician and in the injectable form. The HCG diet should only be done under a doctor’s supervision. In my opinion weight loss should be monitored by physicians who know about the process, including doing body scans and making sure patients are following a plan and staying accountable. It’s important to understand nutrition and how to make healthy…
How to Prevent Facial Fat Loss While Losing Weight?
Facial fat loss with weight loss
Jan 6, 2018
No matter how long it takes you to lose the weight, there will be volume loss in your face. I see this quite often with my patients. You are young, which is beneficial because the weight loss shouldn’t age you, but you may notice the under eye are looking a bit more hollow. You may want to consider adding volume with dermal fillers (Juvederm for example) if you feel that the weight loss affected your face too much.
Good Luck!
How to lower my weight in a healthy way?
Weight Loss with lasting results
Jan 6, 2018
It’s great that you are aware at a young age the importance of being at a healthy weight. First and foremost seeing your medical doctor to make sure that you don’t have thyroid issues, diabetes or blood pressure would be my recommendation. Once you are all clear then I recommend finding someone who is experienced with weight loss, offers various programs to choose from and knowledge in the process of weight loss and maintenance. Also starting a fitness program in conjunction with a…
How many sessions it will take me to remove tattoo and how much will it cost me?
Tattoo Removal
Nov 16, 2017
The factors that determine ultimate cost will be the type of laser being used ( specifically the amount of wavelengths the laser has) along with the size of the tattoo ) yours is large), age of the ink and depth of ink penetration. You made need anywhere from 3-6 sessions with the Enlighten 3 or more with the older models. Also pricing will be affected by your location. But also remember if something sounds to good to be true – it probably is. Good luck.
Coolsculpting results after 4 week mark?
Coolsculpting Results
Nov 16, 2017
This is a great question. Typically maximum results are seen at the 12 week mark, but seeing results early doesn’t mean that you won’t improve. Most of our patients and even myself included noticed results early ( about 6 weeks in) with improvement at 12 weeks. Of course exercise and diet will improve results and that’s because you are decreasing the size of the remaining fat cells.
Deep Glabella lines at 30. Botox and fillers and still noticeable. What can I do?
The dreaded “11” lines
Sep 7, 2017
This is a great question, and I have several young patients with a similar issue. When Botox isn’t getting those lines smooth 100% I actually prefer to use PDO threads. These are more cost effective and often last longer than dermal fillers. The threads stimulate collagen and can give a similar “filler-like” effect without having to overdo Botox.
