Coolsculpting for Fat Reduction

Coolsculpting is a blockbuster treatment for body reshaping in localized fat deposits. The treatment is completely non invasive, no sedation or downtime (besides mild pain/bruising) is involved. The procedure freezes fat, causing the cells to die out and exit the body.
Trouble localized fat deposits like the outer thighs (“saddle bags”), inner thighs (going for the “thigh gap”), and banana roll (the area under the buttocks on the posterior upper thigh) can all be addressed with Coolsculpting.

Cellfina for Cellulite Treatment

Cellfina is a ground-breaking body reshaping treatment for cellulite of the buttocks and thighs.  There have been many treatments for cellulite in the past, all with little success.  In general the degree of improvement with Cellfina is dramatic.  Cellfina is proven to improve the appearance of cellulite for three years or more.  The treatment is minimally invasive, done under local anesthesia in our office.  It takes approximately 2-3 hours and is done using a light oral sedative.  After the treatment there will be some swelling and bruising for approximately 1-2 weeks.
Cellfina addresses the underlying cause of cellulite.  The fibrous septae that pull down the dimples on the skin are cut, resulting in smooth dimple-free skin.

Ulthera for Skin Tightening

Ulthera, or ultherapy, is a skin tightening  body reshaping procedure that is non-invasive.  Focused waves of ultrasound are used over the surface of the skin which tighten the skin. The treatment is completely non-invasive, and is done using topical anesthetic and a mild oral sedative.  Results are gradual tightening of the skin, with the full result apparent after 6 months.
Ultherapy has been used for tightening the face and decolletage for years, and more recently we have expanded the treatment to the legs (above the knees).
These procedures are best done in combination for optimal transformation of the thighs and buttocks.  Please schedule a consultation to see which is right for you.
