All of us dread taking time off from our jobs especially to take care of some cosmetic condition we have. Most of us put off taking care of cosmetic issues as long as we can and most of us are embarrassed to even acknowledge or discuss these issues.

Exilis is the newest FDA approved technological marvel for non susrgical fat removal, that offers the unique combination of radiofrequency energy (radiowaves) and oscillating mechanical waves for the first time in the United States. The Exilis technology uses the vibrations of oscillating mechanical waves to rattle the fat lobules out of their fibrous cage, and then blasts them with the radiofrequency heat to ramp up their metabolic activity and shrink the size of the fat cells. This occurs in a painless and quick 20 minute office procedure with no downtime or limitations on your activities!

Fat cells are actually stored in the body in lobules that are clustered like a bunch of grapes. These clusters are wrapped in a fibrous tissue layer like a hairnet that holds them together.

This fibrous tissue layer makes it virtually impossible to reach the fatty clusters without a liposuction cannula—until now. The Exilis uses the vibrations of oscillating mechanical waves to rattle the fat lobules out of their fibrous cage, and then blasts them with the radio-frequency heat to ramp up their metabolic activity and shrink the size of the fat cells.

How many of us are finding it more and more difficult to fall asleep at night, and stay asleep? When this happens most of us blame it on some sort of stress, or find some other excuse to blame it on. Yes, in fact we all get stressed out over money problems, work, traffic, relationships, kids, and for many other reasons. But stress isn’t the only cause of not being able to fall asleep at night. For many years, we have been aware of the positive role that the hormone Melatonin plays in our lives, especially when it comes to the subject of what Melatonin contributes to us being able to get a good nights sleep. In addition to it being used to ease insomnia, it has been used to protect our cells from free-radical damage, combat jet lag, to boost our immune system, prevent cancer and to extend life. Melatonin has shown the most promise in short-term regulation of sleep patterns, including jet lag. Early animal studies in the mid-1960s revealed its ability to affect sexual function, skin color, and other mammalian functions. Melatonin is one of the hormones produced by the pineal gland in all vertebrates. In addition to being produced in vertebrates, melatonin is also found in plants, bacteria, unicellular eukaryotes, and invertebrates.
Normal melatonin secretion is suppressed by light and stimulated by periods of darkness. Nocturnal secretion of Melatonin is at its highest during childhood, and then decreases as we get older. Research has shown that Melatonin also functions as an important antioxidant, and is involved in the body’s immune response.The synthetic versions have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or purity, and all potential risks and/or advantages may not be fully known or understood. There are no regulations or manufacturing standards presently in place for the synthetic versions of the compound.
The use of melatonin derived from animal pineal tissue may carry the risk of contamination or the means of transmitting viral material. The synthetic form of this medication does not carry the risk however. There is little or no evidence of any major toxicities with melatonin, even at high doses. Possible adverse reactions might include depression, dizziness, enuresis, excessive daytime somnolence, headache, and nausea, and of course drowsiness if you drive after taking Melatonin. When given to animals, Melatonin caused some changes in blood pressure and affected fertility levels. Such effects in humans would be a medical risk for people with heart-related problems, hypertension and stroke, kidney disease and sleep apnea as well as for women of child-bearing age, so it is always wise to consult your physician prior to starting a routine intake of any herbal/health supplement such as synthetic Melatonin. Overall, research indicates improved sleep when Melatonin is taken at the appropriate time for jet lag and shift work, or to help speed up falling asleep. Appropriate dosage and any safety risks will become clearer with further research.

Thermage is the best treatment for the loose skin and laxity under the belly button. Here is the scientific reason.
First thermage is FDA approved for skin tightening, if you look at the FDA clearance on Velashape is indicated for dermal heating, not skin tightening. Thermage is also a stronger machine, working at the highest Mg Hz on the market for a RF device. Thermage is monopolar, so it is able to work deeper into the skin to effect change, thereby penetrating at least 4.2 mm into the skin, while velashape at its max is 1.5mm. Since the Dermis, which is the main collagen structure of your skin is deeper than 1.5 mm it makes more sense to utilize the machine that treats the dermis.
Patients prefer less invasive and more natural cosmetic treatments for their face and bodies for fat loss skin tightening, and stretch marks.
Less invasive and minimally invasive treatments grow at Precision Aesthetics 2014, with natural treatments for body shaping, fat loss and stretch marks leading the way.[ic_prweb keyword=”exilis”][ic_twittify ][/ic_twittify][ic_yahoo_answers keyword=”thermage”]
Over the past 12 years many of the new treatments that have evolved are more natural, completely natural or use the bodies own resources to create the desired result. Look at Thermage for example. You can go for surgery, a facelift, the popular mini face-lift or liposuction for fat or loose skin on your face or body. But if you look at the before and after pictures of non-surgical procedures like Thermage you will see similar results to surgical procedures. It is even more apparent comparing to the popular mini face-lift and for patients that are not in need of dramatic revision. There are terrific results for the face and every single part of the body. In addition the worst outcome from Thermage, Exilis or any other minimally invasive procedure is that a person doesn’t achieve as much of a result as they might be expecting. But even that should be rare if they were given proper expectations at their consult. Surgically, there is the possibility of scarring which could be extensive, lumpiness and loose skin after liposuction and worse. In fact Exilis is being used more and more to help with lumpiness after liposuction.

Let’s take a look at what the patients are gravitating towards. Every article and magazine will tell you that nonsurgical procedures are the fastest growing segment. Within this category there are minimal invasive and even what anyone would have to admit are natural treatments. Younger patients are requesting PRP short for proteinprotein rich plasma or the so-called Dracula facelift over Botox for wrinkles that are just beginning. Using the growth factors from your own blood versus the most powerful neurotoxin on the planet is a pretty clear example of a purely natural solution. The growth factors literally repair wrinkles vs. paralyzing a muscle with Botox. PRP (the bodies own protein rich plasma) is also used for overall facial rejuvenation and sometimes instead of Restyling and other fillers. Carboxytherapy is another example of using the body naturally, every single cell in our bodies take in Oxygen and excrete Carbon Dioxide. That principle is utilized to increase circulation with minute injections of carbon dioxide to improve cellulite, stretch marks and dark under eye circles. The list goes on and on. Cryotherapy facials increase circulation to the face. Another fascinating discovery was acoustic wave therapy, which was originally used for physical therapy to speed recovery of the muscles. The acoustic wave stimulates the muscle to repair more quickly. Apparently the side effect was that deep stimulation improved cellulite, which was ironically discovered by female athletes after doing physical therapy. They reported an improvement of their cellulite. Dr Zdinak and Precision Aesthetics were contacted by a major manufacture to further investigate this phenomena and the rest is history. Finally we are seeing cold lasers come of age led by Illumiwave for hair growth, acne, and fat loss. Cold lasers are much less invasive than hot lasers. As the name implies they are literally cold or don’t even produce any heat but still stimulate our cells in various ways.
The fact that patients are choosing minimally invasive more natural safer treatments is a great trend that will only continue to grow. Dr Lisa Zdinak, Chief Surgeon and Medical director of Precision Aesthetics has spent years bringing no less than 12 new technologies and products from various countries to the United States for her patients. She has put aside surgery to spend more time to research and bring the best natural and minimally invasive solutions for her patients. She is on the forefront of technologies like personal creams utilizing patient’s own growth factors and other cutting edge technologies we will be hearing more about in the future.[ic_youtube keyword=”dr212renew”]
