What are non-invasive treatments & what do they treat?

Non-invasive treatments that require no surgery or downtime. The results take place over a few weeks or couple of months so they are discreet & no one knows you had anything done just that you look & feel better.

We have a variety of FDA approved non- invasive treatments to treat everything from permanent fat destruction all over the body, skin tightening, cellulite & lifting/tightening the skin on the face.   We have modalities to lift and firm the butt. The technologies harness the power of ultrasound, radio frequency, infra-red & vacuum depending on which treatment is chosen.

We currently have Cool Sculpting, Ultherapy, UltraShape & VelaShape III available.

What are the benefits of these treatments being non-invasive?

We find in our practice patients prefer non-invasive because of the zero downtime & no scars from surgery. People just don't have the time to take off from work & family & if they do they want to spend it on vacation w/ their family not recuperating from surgery.

Do you see more people leaning towards noninvasive procedures? Why do you think popularity has grown?

Absolutely, with media outlets like real self people can go online and see real results & testimonials posted from real people who have had the treatments performed and it really makes the "shopper" more confident & comfortable w/ their decision.  We also find our patients do share their results w/ friends and family because they are so excited at their treatment outcome.

Are there any certification practices must go through to offer these treatments?

Most companies train the staff how to use the equipment when the practice brings the treatment device on board. Some companies take it further by offering advanced training. An example is Zeltiq, the makers of CoolSculpting have special trainings that certify the practioner & practice. For instance, myself & my team flew out to California for 3 days to Coolsculpting University & participated in an intense training course. When we returned we treated staff & had to submit our results/treatment plan to Zeltiq for review. After review they certified our practice. Not every practice is certified. We always take the extra measures to make sure we are educated, experienced & can give the patient the best possible outcome.

What other aesthetic treatments do you offer ?

We have a full aesthetic department and pretty much offer everything. We have laser hair removal, laser skin resurfacing to treat wrinkles, lines & stretch marks, Intense Pulse Light to treat brown or red on the skin, Laser Tattoo Removal, Microdermabrasion, Microneedling, Hydrafacial, Omnilux Anti-Aging Light Treatments & Blue Acne Treatments, Isolaz chemical free acne light treatments, Chemical Peels, Jane Iredale Makeup, Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, Voluma, Restylane, Sculptra, Kybella, Bellafill & Radiesse.

We can address all concerns & set up a "treat to transformation" plan. We understand every patient is unique & has his/her own concerns so we make certain we are looking at the patient as an individual. Our goal is to make the patient the best version of themselves not someone else. Nothing brings us more satisfaction then watching our patients glow (inside & out) post treatment & how they feel about themselves after they receive their results.
