Laser Hair Removal is now ranked second among cosmetic procedures right behind Botox injections, in the frequency of procedures performed. Most clients who desire Laser Hair Removal will require a series of treatments, over a period of time which will result in the removal of the unwanted hair as desired.
How does this treatment work? Laser hair removal procedure utilizes the beams of highly concentrated light which is designed to selectively penetrate into the hair follicles. The hair follicle pigment absorbs the light and causes the hair within the follicle to be destroyed. This procedure is a perfectly safe and highly sought after cosmetic procedure and is used by both men and women.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I have never seen so many botched lips, messed up eyes, and overall terrible looking plastic surgeries as I have seen in the last few months coming out of Hollywood land. You would think that the stars who have to look good, and have the money to do just that would pick and choose the doctors who work on their faces a little more carefully. I understand that looking good is one of the requirements of being a star and staying in the limelight, but some of these celebs have gone overboard with their changing looks and the results of faulty facelifts, lip augmentation, and everything in between.
Some of these people need to be more careful when choosing their makeover and who does that makeover. Have they not heard of Thermage and the great results from those procedures? Wake up Hollywood and start taking some pride in what nature has given to you and when you have a face redone or lips thickened, then do it right by using one of the more popular Thermage Procedures.
The Many different Thermage Procedures available today can help you look good on the outside, while making you feel great on the inside. Whether it’s on your face, your eyes, the tummy or other parts of the body, the this can help smooth, tighten and contour your skin for a naturally younger looking appearance. By stimulating your body’s natural renewal of collagen, which creates subtle and natural results on and off the face. Few treatments (short of a complete face-lift) are more effective at raising droopy skin than a Thermage under eye bags treatment. And now there is a version for droopy eyes and saggy eye skin.
Best of all, you can turn back the clock on your skin without rearranging your life for complex procedures or long recoveries, and with no surgery, no injections, no anesthesia and little to no downtime. So you can do something great for your skin in a single treatment on your schedule and quickly return to normal activities.
I just found out about a fairly new ‘breakthrough technology’ which is a practitioner’s dream. I have been involved with massage therapy for years and am so impressed after have one treatment that I am looking into becoming certified so I too can give these treatments. This gives even more skin tightening than what was available with the prior facial tips!
1 A new vibrating hand piece offers a clinically proven improvement in patient comfort. In controlled, split-faced clinical studies, comparing treatment of over 40 patients with vibration to treatment without vibration,and they preferred the vibration.
2 The new energy delivery algorithm interweaves pulsed radio frequency delivery with cooling bursts mimicking Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation [“TENS”] therapy, to disrupt the brain’s neural response and improve comfort during treatment.
3 The heat is more concentrated directly into the tissue being treated with less spillage onto the edges of the tip, eliminating that “pinch” at the end of the energy pulse.
When my secretary came back to work after having her new baby boy and being off for a couple of months, She tells me she has been fighting her body and the stretch marks left from her pregnancy. She also told me of a new procedure to help her remove those nasty stretch marks. I have to be honest I really didn’t believe there was such a miracle procedure until I seen it with my own eyes.
The treatment is called the ‘Carboxytherapy’ Stretch Mark removal procedure. Up to very recently, stretch marks were pretty much untreatable. This Procedure is showing great promise by softening stretch marks by increasing the blood flow to the stretch mark regions and allowing them to constrict and contract, thus blending them better with the surrounding healthy skin. There is a short treatment down time, its painless with very few follow up sessions required.
Carbonxytherapy can also being used as a treatment for dark under eye circles, cellulite and stretch mark smoothing and removal. This Procedures is FDA approved and must only be performed by certified physicians nationwide.
A few weeks back I mentioned that my wife wanted to have some wrinkles around her eyes, and the skin under her neck tightened, using the great new Thermage Procedures. I offered to give her the treatments for our anniversary.
Well !! WOW !! Welcome !! What a change and What an improvement. She has never looked better. The great thing about Thermage is the improvements are almost immediate, return to normal activity is right away, theres no follow-up appointments needed for most treatments, no surgery or knives used on her, no anesthetics were used and the best of all is she is happy. She was in treatment for a short time and these procedures work on all colors of skin. Thermage is FDA approved and only performed by certified doctors throughout the nation.
Now I am considering talking to an approved physician about my saggy stomach and under my neck.. I’ll keep you informed..

If you have cellulite, you know what it is. For those lucky ones who don’t have cellulite, picture the bumpy texture of an orange peel. That is what the skin surface looks like on someone who has cellulite. It is found on the thighs, buttocks or arms of 95% of all women, fat or skinny, and a few men. Cellulite reduction is possible and varies in effectiveness.
Cellulite reduction is to be directed at the underlying cause of cellulite. Cellulite is an accumulation of fat, fluid, and toxins pushed up from beneath the skin. This accumulation hardens into elastin and collagen fibers. Cellulite can be hereditary. Other causes are lack of exercise and poor dietary habits, stress and hormones. Cellulite reduction methods are being developed to attack these factors and reduce the visible effects of cellulite. Cellulite reduction comes in the form of creams containing vitamins, minerals, herbs and antioxidants which tighten, smooth, and soften the skin.
The vitamins and minerals in cellulite reduction creams increase the skin’s health which makes it better able to heal. Cellulite reduction treatments contain anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory medications, reduce inflammation, and increase blood flow to the skin. Consuming more water and using cellulite reduction creams that contain moisturizing ingredients have at least a temporary effect on the appearance of cellulite because most areas affected by cellulite are dehydrated.
Use caution though, because some cellulite reduction creams actually can cause some dehydrating of the skin after prolonged use. These types of creams will actually seem to reduce the overall size of the thigh, for instance, when in actuality it is dehydrating the area by removing wasted water accumulation. Natural, self-administered cellulite reduction regimens might give you some improvement. Cellulite reduction methods like using a massage glove or brush to rub the affected area improve circulation to the skin. Increasing water consumption is the best course for cellulite reduction.
This cleanses your system and flushes out toxins. Drink less coffee and soda pop. Drink fruit juices and herbal teas instead. Make sure you get plenty of vitamin C. Exercise, walk, stretch and/or swim. Exercise strengthens muscle and enhances the visual effects of cellulite reduction. Be patient. It can take several weeks to notice results in the appearance of your skin following these lifestyle changes. Though this self-applied cellulite reduction treatment should cause improvement in your condition, don’t expect it to be a complete cure.
Skin Tightening and body contourIn a study published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine (March 2016), Jill Waibel, MD, et al, investigated whether laser-assisted delivery of vitamins C and E plus ferulic acid immediately following fractional ablative laser treatments would improve wound healing. Their secondary objectives were to evaluate the potential molecular markers involved in that wound-healing process.
Dr. Waibel, et al, concluded that use of the antioxidant serum correlated with more rapid healing after fractional ablative laser treatments and that “elevated bFGF could be involved in the Vitamin C, E, and Ferulic acid-induced rapid wound healing.”
If you use your knowledge common sense and actually look at the before and afters with a really keen or discerning eye you’ll understand what I’m saying makes total sense. There are three or four different technologies out there.
Radio frequency started out in 2002 with Thermage to date they’ve
done over 1 million procedures at around 2000 locations. So that is clearly the safest and the longest record five or six years later came Exilis also radiofrequency but no consumables requiring up to six treatments for the body and four for the face.
Thermage requires only one treatment whether it’s the face or the body. Both of these come out very smooth in fact they are used for smoothing and to reduce lumps or for loose skin and they are
even used after liposuction to clean up the lumps.
So look at the before and after’s for cool sculpting or Zeltique ( brand name) and then look at the ones for Thermage. Cool sculpting is great if you have a lot of fat. By nature you’re killing a bunch of fat cells so the results are going to be kind of unknown and if you think about it logically you almost have to be leftover with some loose skin if not in addition to
some lumpiness as well.
Many people report that their girlfriends did Zeltique or cool sculpting and in the conversation about Thermage they said no don’t worry about that forget about that I’m not even considering it because my girlfriend came out lumpy.
There is also Zerona or Cold Laser- Forget about that ours is
collecting dust it’s not worth offering an inferior procedure I’d rather keep paying for it and let it collect dust our particular model is the Illumiwave lipo contour which is 20 times stronger than the Zerona same wavelength 635 nm but even ours doesn’t get any results.
There are thousands more you can find,I can send you hundreds more before and afters and we do study and test these machines all the time we were signed up to be the first ulthera in NY
and of course tested Zeltique and constantly talk to the manufacturers of these machines thats all we do.
What you will find in common or see in retrospect is Exilis is great for a few lumps or for a great amount of fat, whichever your results will be smooth Thermage is more or less for someone who has ” lost the weight already” and has loose skin. Fat freezing has done a great job marketing and can remove a great deal of fat in one session but you are killing the fat cells so logically you should land up with loose skin.
Also radio frequency is completely different you are affecting the collagen layer so there is an immediate tightening of the collagen that holds back the fat with Exilis normally 6 sessions for the body but you can keep going you will not see results till the 4th treatment.
I had a dear friend complaining but sure enough after the 4, 5, 6th session she went on to do 3 more body parts. Thermage is much stronger only requires one treatment but its so strong that
it causes you to grow more collagen beginning at 3 months so from 3 to 6 months there is a secondary affect where the skin firms up and smooths out even more. Although we have seen a few inches right off the table as well.
Thermage is much more expensive and has consumables. Make sure the person is listed on thermage.com with Black Diamond or Pinnacle award, that means they are experienced and are buying $15,000 a month in consumables more important
now than ever.
I get calls every day from Chinese companies offering
bootleg tips for $25 vs $900 ( one time use) these are calibrated to the micron to get the right amount of energy to the area, and of course you want someone who knows how many pulses to apply at what temperature.
Another clue is Exilis feels like a warm stone massage. Thermage has to be hot enough to give you an effective treatment. We give everyone a percocet in order to allow us to give them an effective treatment. If they say they dont do that, They have never turned the machine up high enough to give a person an effective treatment.
We get people all the times who were getting ok, or so so treatments elsewhere. On the other hand if they say anesthesia,
run out the door fast! You can easily get a 3rd degree
burn if you are not getting feedback. I have only see that anecdotally.
