What you need to know about EmSculpt™ Body Contouring

What is body contouring?

When people gain weight they increase the amount of body fat and their skin gets stretched to accommodate that extra weight. Similarly losing weight reduces the body fat but the excess skin is not so easy to get rid of. Body contouring helps to get rid of this unwanted skin and fat, to make the body as trim as it should be. It also helps to improve elasticity of skin. Surgical methods of body contouring give a proportionate appearance to the body allowing smoother contours.

What are the main contouring procedures?

• Arm lift – sagging of the upper arms (close to biceps) is corrected
• Breast lift – with age and after breastfeeding babies, breasts can sag or become flattened. This can be corrected by contouring
• Facelift – lifting the mid-face region, jowls and neck
• Lower body lifts – sagging buttocks, thighs and abdomen are corrected
• Medial thigh lift – lifting inner thigh skin
• Tummy tuck – removing excess skin and lifting up abdomen area

What is Emsculpt?

This device uses high intensity electromagnetic energy to contract the muscles improving body contours in the process. The Food and Drug Administration has cleared it for strengthening abdominal muscles, making the abdomen firm and strengthening and firming the buttocks. It is a recent advancement made in the non-surgical fat removal repertoire in Montclair NJ.

How effective is it?

One must bear in mind that there is no substitute for leading a healthy lifestyle. Emsculpt, CoolSculpting or any other fat removal technique cannot work miracles. They must go hand in hand with good habits such as eating right and getting adequate exercise. With age body metabolism slows down and one has to be disciplined to maintain a good physique. 

What makes Emsculpt special?

Most devices focus on one task – mainly removal of fat. This device plays a dual role. Not only does it burn fat, it also builds muscle. Women who have gone through pregnancy and suffered separation of abdominal muscles can also find some relief from this method, although nothing beats a tummy tuck for that purpose.

Thrive revolutionizes abdominal, buttock contouring with unprecedented, non-invasive Emsculpt® technology

Dr. AdamMaddox

Thrive Aesthetic and Anti-AgingCenter

www.thriveportland.com

Portland, OR, January 21, 2019 – Thrive welcomes the first and only FDA-cleared technology that both strengthens muscles and eliminates fat around the waistline and backside: Emsculpt® by BTL Aesthetics.

Conventional aesthetic treatments only address fat. They do n’t account for the muscles that make up 35 percent of the human body. Emsculpt ® offers both muscle tone and fat cell reduction at the next level in a single type of procedure and without the need to go under the knife. It’s an ideal “dual treatment” for patients who are seeking improved tone and contours in hard-to-target, fatty areas such as the abdomen and “love handles.” Emsculpt® is also a predictable, non-invasive alternative to popular yet controversial surgical and injectable buttock augmentation procedures.

Emsculpt ® technology's "magic "

The power of Emsculpt lies in the use of high- intensity focused electromagnetic technology( HIFEM).This unique magnetic field penetrates through the skin and into fat and muscle tissue. Once penetrated, the energy that is produced induces 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions, as well as arapid metabolic reaction in fat cells. These powerful muscle contractions are not achievable by the human brain, and are critical to building muscles and burning fat

Extremely accurate - only treated tissues penetrate and altered ; the surrounding tissues remain alone.

Injections are not necessary – A truly non-invasive procedure

Risks and downtimes are minimized-Surgical procedures are usually associated with longer healing times and increased risk of complications.

In seven clinical studies, BTL Aesthetics reports patients whose abdominal region was treated with

Emsculpt® technology had a:

· 19% reduction in subcutaneous fat

· 16% boost in muscle mass

· Average waistline reduction of 4.4 cm (around 1.73 inches)

Although each patient is different, the Thrive team usually recommends treatments of 4 to 6, 30 minutes over two weeks. Results are gradually revealed, with noticeable improvement three to six months after treatment.

Sun Protection to Protect Your Skin Even in the Winter

Sunlight in the winter is a welcome idea for anyone, especially as it helps to keep warm and to make the home less musty during dark, cold days. It is also associated with reduced rick of depression and other mental problems. This is why wishes of “a sunny day” are commonly heard of especially in the winter months.

How harsh is sunlight during winter?

Many in Huntington would relish the time outdoors on a sunny winter day, to make a great snowman or toboggan on the hills. But did you know that sunlight during the winter is as bad as that of summer and perhaps even worse?. Over 90% of skin cancers are thought to be caused by sun exposure. While people take great care towards sun protection when they are at the beach, using sunscreen generously, the same attention is not shown during winter season. Higher elevation leads to more UV exposure. This exposure increases about 5% with every 1000 feet above sea level. Therefore snow covered mountains put you more at risk of developing skin cancers than the beach. The fact that 80% of UV rays are reflected by the snow also increases the risk of skin cancer.

What are ways to protect your skin even in the winter?

Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher is essential. It does not matter if you are dressed in covered clothing, apply sunscreen half an hour before you go skiing or do any other activities on snow slopes. Reapplication is needed if you spend long hours outdoors.

Covering up as much as possible is another method to prevent UV rays penetrating your skin. While most people cover their bodies snugly during winter they do not take much precaution with their faces. Facial skin is sensitive and even if you do not put yourself in any danger, your skin will still feel dry and unhealthy if you do not apply adequate moisturizer or cold cream along with sunscreen. Sun exposure is known to cause age spots in all types of skin.

Thrive restores women’s quality of life, intimacy with non-invasive EMSELLA™

Groundbreaking treatment for urinary incontinence

Portland, OR, January 21, 2019 – Around 35% of women worldwide suffer with urinary incontinence. And now Thrive is bringing relief to women with stress, urge, or mixed incontinence via groundbreaking EMSELLA™ technology

Treating a common condition; enhancing women’s lives

More than 19 million women in the United States are estimated to suffer from the loss of bladder control. Urinary incontinence presents a strong and sudden urge to urinate, as leakage during exercise and physical activity or a combination of both "stress- induced" and "urge" forms of the condition

After birth, when women enter menopause or during the natural aging process, the problem often occurs. Poor bladder control can have a profound effect on a woman’s life; patients may give up the exercise that keeps them healthy and happy, or lose confidence in themselves and intimacy with their partner. Yet, the National Association for Incontinence reports 5 out of 10 women don’t seek treatment for this common and troubling problem

EMSELLA 's HIFEM technology generates thousands of types of supermaximum muscle contractions that are critical to the re- education of incontinence- related pelvic floor muscles.In fact, it would take thousands of Kegel exercises to produce the number of contractions achieved with EMSELLA™ treatment. EMSELLA’s unique “chair” design means patients are fully clothed during treatment. Inconvenience and downtime associated with surgical alternatives are generally avoided and patients leave the office immediately after treatment without assistance.

In a clinical study, BTL Aesthetics reports:

· 95% of patients were satisfied with the results, and reported “significant improvement” in the quality of their lives following six sessions

· 67% of these treated women completely eliminated the need for hygienic pads or reduced them daily.

· 100% noted “better awareness” of pelvic floor muscles as the result of treatment

The Thrive team generally recommends a series of 6 treatments twice weekly, completed in approximately 30 minutes per treatment session.

“Given how common this is, it always surprises me how many women keep it to themselves – and so many of their friends and colleagues are suffering from urinary incontinence, too,” said Dr. Adam Maddox, Thrive’s medical director and a board-certified physician. “By the time they come to me, they’re really at loss and are excited to learn about EMSELLA™, because the completely non-invasive nature of treatment makes it approachable and easy for women to treat.”

Maddox continued: “Women can stop suffering in silence. Up until now, invasive treatments were the only option to effectively address these serious issues. This is truly revolutionary.”

Dr. Maddox and the Thrive team have been helping people to age beautifully for more than 15 years.Trust your health and wellbeing to the Thrive team’s skill and experience – spanning more than 15,000 procedures and more than 10,000 patients. Suffer no longer. To schedule an appointment at Portland, OR, call 503- 928- 6505 and learn more about EMSELLA and complementary procedures, such as BTL Ultra Femme 360TM

For the best possible results go for Xeomin wrinkle treatment

Muscle overactivity can be blocked with Xeomin that can otherwise lead to worsening of deep wrinkles. Xeomin will soften the area of the muscle activity by blocking the neurotransmitter that stimulates muscle contraction. Xeomin is an effective solution for treating and preventing facial wrinkles. It can be used to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines, and wrinkles that can develop around the eyebrows. Xeomin is a great way to treat wrinkles that are caused due to overactive muscles on the face.  For a wrinkle-free face, go for Xeomin wrinkle treatment in New Orleans LA.

One of the effective ways to treat wrinkles is by using gentle treatments and relaxing the muscles that lead to wrinkles. Deep wrinkles can result due to overreactive muscles and repetitive movement. Relaxation of these muscles can lead to the repair of wrinkles and cause it to be smooth. Xeomin is a treatment that is approved by the FDA and is able to treat wrinkles that are caused by repetitive movement. Xeomin works by blocking off the neurotransmitters that signal movement of muscles and improve the appearance of deep wrinkles.

How does Xeomin work?

Xeomin works by blocking acetylcholine which is a neurotransmitter. This is what stimulates muscle contraction. Deep wrinkles are prevented by blocking excessive muscle contraction with the use of this product. Existing wrinkles can also be improved, and the facial skin can also repair itself. Tiny injections will be used in short series directly into the facial muscles that have been affected. The procedure can be performed in a few minutes and is usually painless. Results will usually be visible after about one week, and the results obtained can last for up to four months after an individual treatment.

Are Botox and Xeomin similar?

Both the products are used to treat the same facial areas and use similar compounds. Excessive muscle activity is blocked by both products that lead to an improvement in the appearance of facial wrinkles. Xeomin uses incobotulinumtoxin A, while Botox uses botulinum toxin A, which are slightly different. They function in a similar manner though. Xeomin does not contain additives but only the active ingredients when compared with Botox. This will result in the lessened development of antibodies that can stop the treatment from working effectively when compared with other products. 

What is the ideal time to go for Xeomin treatment?

The best time for this treatment can be different from person to person. Both men, as well as women, can benefit from Xeomin treatments to reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles. You can consider this treatment when you notice overactive muscles on the face that lead to wrinkle formation. Going for Xeomin treatment at an early stage can prevent the development of deep wrinkles. If deep wrinkles have formed, Xeomin can help by relaxing the activity on the specific area and getting rid of the developed deep wrinkles. Xeomin is best for treating horizontal lines on the forehead, crows’ feet that develop outside the eyes, and vertical lines that are deep in between the brows.

To get rid of all the wrinkles on your face, go for Xeomin wrinkle treatment in New Orleans LA.

The Truth About Breast Lift Treatment

Most women, at some point in their lives, had been concerned about the size and shape of their breasts. While too small or too large are the problem for most, sagging and/or deflated breasts become an issue for some, especially after pregnancy and weight loss.

This also leads to the breast skin taking on a stretched appearance and the nipples often going southwards to an “abnormal” position. This physically affects the natural feminine silhouette of a woman, posture, movements, and daily functions. Also, sagging/deflated can take a toll on a woman’s mindset and interactions with others.   

What does the breast lift procedure involve?

The solution may come in the shape of a breast lift or mastopexy. The procedure involves repositioning the breast tissue to give it form and lift and to get the nipples back to a more normal, youthful, and desirable position. Sometimes, a breast implant may also be necessary to compensate for any significant loss of volume in breast tissue.

You would be surprised how many people who are unhappy with the shape of their faces and wished they had more defined jawlines. The ideal face shape, as perceived by most, is smooth and oval-shaped.

A wider face, especially around the jaws and chin, is often a result of thick and wide jawbones or thick, bulky facial muscles. Whatever the reason, a wider face can add years to one’s appearance and rob a person of his/her confidence and self-esteem. Self-consciousness can be triggered from a misshapen jawline.

No patient will go home without the knowledge and specific instructions they need to follow to avoid unnecessary pain and discomfort during recovery. Dr. Kwan will also ensure that none of the functions of the jaws are affected.

Frequently asked questions about Sculptra treatment in New Orleans LA

What is Sculptra treatment?

Sculptra is an injectable solution that is administered into your skin to promote collagen production, which will fill out fine lines and wrinkles, and add volume to the parts of your face that have lost its plump and youthful look. This procedure is generally used to help the skin around the eyes, cheeks, mouth, lips, and neck area improve the aged look.

How long does it take to start seeing results, and how long will the improvements last?

This treatment would generally require three sessions, each carefully spaced out over a few months.

Why is collagen in skin vital to fight aging?

When the skin ages, it tends to lose the fat layer under the skin that helps retain the thickness of skin, causing to develop fine lines and sag. Post weight loss these signs of sagging or the formation of folds in skin could be noticed. Thus, collagen is essential to maintain the skin’s elasticity and thickness, which gives it the youthful appearance and tighter, firmer skin. Through Sculptra treatment, natural collagen production is stimulated to fill in fine lines and wrinkles on the face and to improve facial contours.

What are the benefits of Sculptra treatment?

The treatment completely rejuvenates the face from within and restores natural volume to cheeks and other facial areas treated, gradually over a period of time, making the improvement seem natural, as if the skin hadn’t really aged at all.

Is it a safe treatment?

The procedure was one of the first FDA approved cosmetic fillers.

How long can you enjoy its results?

You can enjoy the results up to two years, and sometimes longer, depending on the diet you maintain and the nature of your skin.

What are the side effects of this treatment?

There are no permanent side effects associated with this procedure, however, you may incur small side effects such as bruising or swelling, which are likely to disappear on their own after a few days.

For natural looking voluminous improvements to your facial features and a youthful appearance, opt for Sculptra treatment in New Orleans LA.

What are the best acne treatment options for teens ?

Why does acne occur?

Acne usually occurs during puberty when there is a constant fluctuation of hormones in the body. It can also be caused by stress, lack of sleep, menstruation, and other hormonal imbalances. There are several things to avoid if you’re looking to control your acne. While there is no evidence that diet influences acne, consuming more vegetables and fruits can help you add nutrients to your body, which will help give you healthy, bright skin. Fruits carry several healthy acids and fats, which help the skin repair quickly and will assist in eradicating acne scarring in a natural and efficient manner.

The best treatment options for teens

It is essential that pimples are not touched or popped. It could lead to deep scarring, which cannot be treated by topical home treatments and will require medical assistance to rejuvenate the skin to its original state. Topical antibiotics and Retin-A creams are a good choice for you if your scarring is minimal and your skin doesn’t have a lot of acne.

Hormonal therapy is a great option, which your dermatologist will suggest for you upon examining the type of acne you have, whether it is hormonal acne or cystic acne. Hormonal therapy, including oral contraceptives is a procedure in which oral contraceptive pills are prescribed to control the hormone production in the body so that the acne will reduce overtime.

Oral antibiotics and retinoids such as Accutane are an extremely effective remedy, which has been utilized by doctors when all other treatments fail to produce the desired results.

Mild chemical peels could be performed at home; however, it is always advisable to visit a professional, as chemical peels could cause severe burns and damage to your skin if the procedure isn’t conducted correctly. Light sources, including Blue Light and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) are cosmetic procedures performed to produce effective results for patients who wish to treat severe acne. These procedures will restore your skin into its original state much quicker than the procedures mentioned above.

For flawless, smooth and beautiful skin, opt for the best acne treatment for teens in Jupiter, FL.
