TruSculpt for Killing Fat !!

Body Contouring /

Some great new technology to hit the market with amazing results is… TruSculpt ID.  What is TruSculpt?  TruSculpt uses radio frequency and heat to destroy fat cells.  Fat can be destroyed with heat, cold or chemical injections such as Kybella.  Up until now Coolsculpting was the most well known non-surgical way to destroy fat.  The problems with Coolsculpting was that it could cause nerve damage and leave the area numb for a month.  Coolsculpting also would cause a lot of bruising after the treatment.  Trusculpt ID leaves no signs of treatment, and there is no downtime.  The radio frequency used with TruSculpt also helps tighten the skin, whereas Coolsculpting kills fat and leaves the skin loose.  Multiple treatments are great to get to the ideal body that you are looking for.  The best part is that the treatment is ONLY 15 minutes!

PDO Thread Lift

PDO Facial Threading /

PDO Thread lifts have become a very popular procedure for lifting up sagging jowls and creating “Natural” volume from collagen production.  We have been performing for over 4 years and were the first in Arizona to perform this procedure.  Over the years our technique has changed and evolved to what we consider to be the best in all or Arizona.  PDO threads can be very difficult to place unless you have performed many of them.  Threads (sutures) are placed under the skin and anchor into the soft tissue to help lift the face and jowls.  The threads slowly dissolve over the period of a year.  The thread is placed in the hairline so that it is not visible and the end is cut off and slips under the skin.  Lidocaine in injected under the skin where the insertion point will be as well as under the skin.  The procedure takes about 45 minutes, and some times we like to also add a little filler to replace areas of bone and fat loss.  This is a great procedure to help lift and tighten and still maintain a natural appearance.

Why Trusculpt ID out performs Coolsculpting

Body Contouring /

Trusculpt ID is much newer technology than Coolsculpting.  We will list why Coolsculpting is outdated and why new technology beats old outdated technology. Trusculpt is a fast 15 minute treatment that is relatively painless.  There are 6 paddles that are placed on the skin and strapped into place.  Trusculpt uses radio frequency (RF) and heat to destroy fat cells.  You can destroy fat cells either by a thermal event such as freezing or heating, or chemically by injecting something such as Kybella.  Of course liposuction is the best, but not everyone wants liposuction or surgery.  Trusculpt provides results in about 8-12 weeks and has NO DOWNTIME.  There are no signs of treatment and you could literally go to the gym immediately after.  Trusculpt will NOT leave divots whereas Coolsculpting will.  There is also NO bruising involved, where Coolsculpting will. Coolsculpting takes about 45 minutes per area you are treating.  The area will be NUMB for about 4 weeks following the treatment.  Coolsculpting can also be used in limited areas, where Trusculpt can be used in many different areas.  The chances of bruising from Coolsculpting is very high and difficult to hide.  The area being treated with a Coolsculpting applicator must be massaged immediately after the applicator is removed.  The massaging part of the procedure is extremely painful due to the re-perfusion of blood into the area after freezing it. Both Trusculpt and Coolsculpting provide good results, but trusculpt provides a faster treatment.  Trusculpt can be used in tricky or hard to get to areas.  Cost is about the same on both.  Coolsculpting you will be numb for a month, and Trusculpt Zero downtime and no numbness.

TruSculptID rates higher than Coolsculpting!!

Body Contouring /

TruSculptID is new technology that is gaining huge results in the noninvasive body contouring world.  Coolsculpting is slowly becoming outdated with all the new technology hitting the market.  TruSculpt used heat and radio frequency to permanently kill fat and tighten the skin at the same time, which is something Coolsculpting do not do. Unfortunatly Coolsculpting can cause nerve injury and damage, and will leave the area numb for a month or two.  Trusculpt has no downtime and no signs of treatment.  Coolsculpting can leave bruises, numbness, divots, and uneven areas on top of it being very painful after removing the applicator.  TruSculpt treatment in ONLY 15 minutes!!!  Coolsculpting is 30-45 min or even an hour.  Results for both are seen in the same amount of time. truSculpt iD offers a unique and personalized approach to improve upper arm contouring and definition. Unlike other devices, there is no placement limitation, it is easy to set up, and fast to treat. Provide your patients improved freedom to open their arms and wear sleeveless shirts with confidence.

Trusculpt ID kills fat in 15 Minutes and only 1 treatment

Body Contouring /

TruSculpt ID is new technology for body contouring that blows away all others.  What makes TruSculpt ID better than Coolsculpting?? TruSculpt ID is ONLY 15 minutes.  TruSculpt leaves no signs of treatment and offers Zero downtime.  TruSculpt can be used in areas that have small amounts of fat.  TruSculpt leaves NO Divots or “Shark Bites” like Coolsculpting can.  TruSculpt ID will kill fat AND tighten the skin at the same time!!!  Coolsculpting does NOT tighten skin, so you would have to pay for different treatments to tighten the skin.  TruSculpt can be used in small tight areas.  Typically only 1 treatment is needed. Coolsculpting can leave the area numb with nerve irritation and possibly nerve damage.  Coolsculpting can also leave behind “divots” where it kills the fat, unlike TruSculpt ID.  After I had Coolsculpting I was in SEVERE PAIN while the area was warming back up.  Coolsculpting left me with huge bruising on my sides, TruSculpt leaves NO marks.  They both take the same amount of time to see results (12 weeks). Biggest difference is… Coolsculpting is OLD TECHNOLOGY (over 10 years), TruSculpt ID is NEW TECHNOLOGY.  Would you use a cell phone from 10 years ago, or something new?

Laser Hair Removal

Uncategorized /

Laser hair removal is a great way to reduce and eliminate unwanted hair.  Laser hair takes time and patience to see the desired results since hair grows in different cycles.  After about 6 treatments you should be seeing the desired results you want, and then you only need to have maintenance once a year.  Laser hair removal works best on darker hair since the laser targets darker hair. Before your treatment, you should not wax the area.  When you wax the area it removes the hair and the treatment will not be effective.  We recommend shaving the day you plan to have the treatment performed.   We recommend not tanning for 2 weeks prior to your treatment as well, since the laser will have a difficult time distinguishing between the hair and the skin pigment. *burns can sometimes occur over areas where it is bony such as the ankle area.

Lip Injections

Juvederm /

Lip injections are defiantly an art.  Before getting your lips done, always look for pictures of what you like.  By showing photos to the injector, this will help them get a better idea of what they need to do.  Before lip injections, it is good to know if you have a tendency to get cold sores.  If you are prone to getting cold sores, I would highly recommend starting on an antiviral such as Valtrex the day before and day of the procedure. Do you research as far as what type of product they like to use for lip injections.  I prefer to use Juvederm Ultra XC, because of its longevity.  Other fillers such as Restylane, Volbella, Vallure, Bellotero are a total waste of time and money.  The reason I say this is due to the fact that the molecules in these fillers are very small and break down quickly.  Many inexperienced injectors like these fillers because they are easily correctable when they make a mistake. Always research and look at their before & after photos of lip injections that they have done.  Believe it or not, some places do a very poor quality of lip injections and actually steal pictures from other medspas and take credit for the work.  I hope this blog helped inform you about the decision to get your lips filled.  We perform thousands of lip injections and create some of the best lips.

PDO Facial Threading

PDO Facial Threading /

PDO facial threading has become a very popular procedure recently.  This procedure has actually been around for over 10 years, but has again gained traction in aesthetics.  Many years ago the “Threads” were made of a material that did not dissolve.  The new threads are now made of a material called Polydioxanone which dissolves over a period of time.  There are many different types of threads, which all depend on what area of the body you are working on. The results all depend on the providers experience and training.  Many providers try and use 3 or 4 threads to lift sagging skin.  When I perform a “thread lift” i generally do not like to limit myself on how many threads I use.  I always explain to people that the more threads I use, the better the weight is distributed and not relying on a few threads to hold everything up.  This is one of my favorite procedures because I get such great results.

Bellafill

Injections, Uncategorized /

Bellafill is a great filler that will last for 10 years!!  For many people are tired of getting juvederm injections every year, here is a new option…Bellafill.  Bellafill is used in the same manner as a traditional dermal filler to help plump up areas and get rid of deep lines.  Bellafill is also great for filling in acne scars as well.  Bellafill is a collagen based product that also has small spheres to plump up and create new collagen. Belafill is great for areas such as the nasolabial lines (laugh lines), marionette lines, and cheeks.  Bellafill should never be used under the eyes or in the lips.  This filler will end up lasting longer than anything else on the market and save you money in the long run.  Over a period of 10 years, traditional juvederm fillers will cost you $2500-5000, whereas Bellafill will cost you around $1000.

nonsurgical “mini face lift” with PDO facial threading

PDO Facial Threading, Uncategorized /

There has been going popularity for nonsurgical procedures to help people look their best.  Noninvasive procedures offer little to no downtime, less complications and little risk of complications or infections. PDO facial threading uses small surgical sutures to help lift sagging jowls and give you a younger more youthful appearance.   The threads I typically like to use are a large barbed suture, that will give maximum results and last the longest.  Threads will generally last about 1 1/2 years to 2 years when the large threads are used. The PDO thread is placed under the skin through a small hole.  The entry point in numbed with a local anesthetic as well as under the skin.  Pain during the procedure is mostly felt while the numbing agent is being injected. Areas that PDO threads can be used on are the knees, elbows, face, breast lift, butt lift and more.  As like any other procedure, the results are only as good as the person performing the procedure.  I believe our results are some of the best possible results out there.
