Body Slimming/fat Reduction

CoolSculpting™ for Fat Reduction

• A new, non-invasive way to gently and effectively reduce fat in targeted areas of the body, resulting in noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas. The Challenge:
• Exercise-Resistant Fat
  You're physically fit and your weight is stable. You have a healthy diet and lifestyle. But, no matter how much you exercise or diet, you have lumps, bumps, and bulges that you just can't get rid of, a "muffin top," post-pregnancy pooch, love handles, back fat.

• Now there is a non-surgical solution!
  CoolSculpting™ by ZELTIQ™ was developed by a team of scientists and physicians to address the concerns of people like you. This revolutionary procedure uses a precisely controlled cooling method called Cryolipolysis™ to target, cool and eliminate fat cells without damage to the neighboring tissue. After a one to three hour CoolSculpting procedure here at the Laser Treatment Center, your body goes to work. Over the next two to four months, the crystallized fat cells break down and they are naturally flushed from your body.

• What will my results be?
  On average, each CoolSculpting™ procedure results in a 20% reduction of fat in the treated area. After the initial treatment cycle is complete, you can attain further reductions with additional procedures. Some patients, though, find that one treatment fully addresses their goals. We will discuss with you and design a plan that suits you best.

Brown Spot Treatment

• what causes brown spots? most brown spots on the skin are caused by sunlight or aging changes. those that are flat are often easily removed with either our yag or ruby laser in one or two easy treatments. how does the laser work? the yag and ruby lasers work by instantaneously heating the pigmented cells and damaging them beyond the body's ability to repair. amazingly, at the same time, these lasers are very safe for the skin surrounding the brown spot. other treatments like freezing with liquid nitrogen are hard on both the brown spot and the surrounding skin, so there is a higher risk of a white spot or scar. is the process painful? there is a very brief snap of discomfort as the pigmented cells are instantaneously and selectively targeted. over the course of the next week or two the dead cells dry up and peel off. the discomfort can be almost eliminated by using a topical numbing cream and/or use of our zimmer cooling spray. how will i look after treatment? immediately after treatment, each spot will turn white for about 1/2 hour and then welt up like a red raspberry. within 24 hours a thin scab or crust will form over each treated spot that typically lasts 5-10 days. during this time you will need to care for the spots delicately with gentle cleansing and a healing ointment such as aquaphor and using a broad spectrum sun block. are there any side effects? side effects with laser treatment are less frequent than with other methods of removal. common effects are initial redness and crusting, followed by pinkness for a few weeks. this is especially common on the legs. occasionally, the skin may be temporarily lighter or darker, for a few weeks or months. darker spots after treatment are most common in individuals with darker skin tones. there is a rare chance of the skin staying lighter in the treated spot and a slight chance of a scar. keeping the treated area well moisturized and protected from sun exposure will speed the healing and improve the final result. can the pigment come back? most sun damage spots will stay clear once they are gone. some birthmarks and moles may be more difficult to clear permanently, even after multiple treatments. if this is the case, other lasers or surgery can be considered

Hair Removal

• about hair removal non-invasive removal of hair with light or laser beams has been a goal for quite some time. we are finally able to achieve permanent hair reduction through the use of several new machines. the basic principle involved is that colored objects such as dark hair can be heated with our modern technology without heating the surrounding skin, thus giving us the ability to selectively damage the hair follicle with heat
