It’s very important to only have a CoolSculpting treatment done by a certified professional
Jul 15, 2013
Dentists do have the ability to purchase laser lipo and CoolSculpting® machines. However, it’s very important to only have a treatment done by a certified professional who specializes in one of these procedures. Although dentist may perform cosmetic procedures for the teeth and mouth, this does not mean they are experienced in CoolSculpting® or laser lipo procedures.

Both CoolSculpting® and SlimLipo can be very effective treatments for reducing stubborn fat
May 22, 2013
Both CoolSculpting® and SlimLipo can be very effective treatments for reducing stubborn fat that does not respond to a healthy diet and regular exercise. CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive fat reduction technology that is FDA cleared for use on the flanks and abdomen. CoolSculpting® results typically begin appearing about three weeks following treatment with full visible results after four to six months. Patients with moderate areas of unwanted body fat may consider SlimLipo that uses...
Suffering from Acne in Face?
Acne can be caused by many factors
May 9, 2013
Acne can be caused by many factors including excessive sebum (oil) production, bacteria growth, and/or dead skin cells.

It could also be hormone related. Luckily, there are many acne...
Tattoo Removal First Session on Upper Arm. Good Indication of its Effectiveness?
The effectiveness of the tattoo removal will also depend on what laser technology is utilized
Apr 26, 2013
Shading has less ink and usually does respond quicker. Darker, solid areas take multiple treatments. Laser tattoo removal uses laser light to selectively absorb tattoo ink, while breaking the pigment into smaller particles that are eventually removed by your body’s natural healing processes. Although you may notice results after one treatment, multiple treatments are necessary to completely remove tattoo ink. The number of treatments depends on factors such as tattoo size, color,...

Mar 19, 2013

Other lasers such as a pulse dye laser, IPL (intense pulsed light) may be more beneficial for reducing the redness of scars. Consult a board certified dermatologist to discuss a...
Coolsculpting- Where Does The Fat Go?
CoolSculpting removes unwanted fat safely
Feb 20, 2013
CoolSculpting® is an FDA-cleared non-invasive technology used to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat around the abdomen and flanks. Using a cooling process known as cryolipolysis, fat cells are targeted without damaging healthy skin and tissue surrounding the treatment area.

It does take a few months to see the full results as your body naturally disposes the fat cells through excretory processes.
