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.

Get facts on Botox Cosmetic Treatment





All of us like to look good at any given age. Having flawless skin may not be an issue when you are young however as you grow older and the lines start to form, that's when you start to wonder, am I getting wrinkles? Looking at yourself in the mirror and seeing wrinkles is not so pleasing to the eye, that's when you need to gather facts on New Orleans Botox cosmetic treatment.


Did you know?



The Botulinum toxin, which is generally known as Botox has anti-aging properties. Botox is likely the secret to many well-preserved celebrity faces. The wrinkles on your face become worse when you are smiling, frowning or squinting. Since it is almost impossible to live without making these expressions that is when Botox comes to the rescue. One of the most important factors to understand is that Botox is a prescribed drug. Although non-medical professionals in beauty clinics and cosmetic treatment centers use it, it is unacceptable to do so unless a qualified medical professional is present during the procedure. Since Botox is not usually a cheap procedure many people tend to turn to beauty clinics that offer the services at lower costs rather than consulting a medical professional. If the Botulinum toxin is not injected properly there can be risky repercussions that cannot be reversed. Many people fear the pain of the injection but don't worry since the pain is supposed to feel like an ant bite.


Facts about Botox



- Botox is said to be the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure in the world


- Botox is a neurotoxin derived from an organism called Clostridium botulinum, this is for in the natural environment that is sedentary and non-toxic


- Botulinum toxin helps reduce wrinkles by paralyzing the muscle


- Botox is not only used to eradicate wrinkles but it is used to treat excessive sweating, muscle problems, migraines, bladder and bowel disorders. 



Who should get Botox?



Nobody should ever feel under pressure to get Botox. Everyone has facial expressions such as frowning, smiling etc that can cause wrinkles in different areas of the face. The use of Botox in your twenties will work as a preventive method where you can stop these lines before they form.

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









Dr. AdamMaddox
Thrive Aesthetic and Anti-AgingCenter




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.

Emsculpt® technology had a:

“Emsculpt now offers a treatment for our fitness-focused patients who are not candidates for existing technologies, because they don’t have excess bulk or fat to lose,” said Thrive Medical Director and Board Certified Physician Dr. Adam Maddox. “By finally addressing muscle tone, this treatment supports individuals’ dedication to active and healthy lifestyles, addressing and further defining particularly stubborn Areas.”

Does Botox Injections Help to reduce Fine Lines And Wrinkles?

Botox Injections Walnut Creek CA


What is Botox?

Extracted from a bacterium known as Clostridium botulinum, this is a product that was initially a natural toxin. While the bacterium is responsible for causing botulism in humans, the extract itself is beneficial in modern medicine. In fact, Botox is used for medical purposes such as reducing hyperhidrosis. 

How does Botox help the skin?

Anyone in Walnut Creek CA would know that Botox injections are used for skin care. People in middle ages especially count on Botox to rejuvenate their skin and to look younger. 
Botox has the capacity to temporarily paralyze muscle cells under the skin. While this may sound scary to some, it actually serves a good purpose for the skin. Muscles that constantly move (contract and extends), causes overlying skin to move as well, stretching and relaxing hundreds of times a day. This makes the skin tired and overstretched. At the same time, skin aging results in loss of laxity. Together these effects cause wrinkles and lines on the skin as time goes by. Botox helps to counter these fine lines and wrinkles, relaxing the skin and keeping it smooth. 
Botox Injections Walnut Creek CA

How are Botox injections administered?

A mix of Botox in the right concentration and lidocaine is injected into the deeper skin layer to reach the underlying muscles.  It is not at all painful as lidocaine is a local numbing solution. Some discomfort may be felt at the time of injection but side effects are mild. The injection time is very short and one can get treated even during their lunch break. No downtime is needed and the patient can go back to their daily routine immediately. Sun exposure should be avoided after Botox injections.

How long do results last?
Botox Injections Walnut Creek CA

It must be mentioned that Botox is not a one-off solution against lines and wrinkles. Yearly sessions are needed to maintain the smooth wrinkle-free skin. Typically results will last for several months. You will need to repeat injections every 6 months or so. It all depends on your skin type and severity of wrinkles. Visit your dermatologist in Walnut Creek CA for more information on how you can benefit.

Sun Protection to Protect Your Skin Even in the Winter

Huntington Sun Protections for 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.
Huntington Sun Protections for Protect Your Skin Even in the Winter

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 best results from ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation, visit a doctor in Algonquin

A woman’s body can be affected by aging and childbearing. Loosened virginal tissue is one of the most commonly experienced but least talked about topics. Changes that appear in the virginal area can be a problem for a woman. The functional effects that come with this problem can lead to many other problems. Weakened virginal tissue and a sagging, stretched labia can lead to virginal dryness, discomfort when wearing clothes that are tight, cause virginal dryness, and urinary stress incontinences. For the best results from ThermiVA vaginal rejuvenation, visit a doctor in Algonquin.



If you are a person who has been affected by the above issues, you will no longer need to live with the emotional and physical discomfort that comes with it. ThermiVA vaginal rejuvenation is a non-surgical procedure that is proven clinically and is used to tone, tighten, and strengthen vaginal tissue within a few weeks. It is a safe procedure with no pain and no downtime. It may only take one hour of your precious time to perform the procedure.

How does ThermiVa work?

ThermiVa uses radio frequency technology to tighten sagging and lax tissue. The radio frequency energy is sent through the skin with a device that looks like a wand. The energy will heat the internal and external tissue in a gentle manner that will include the vagina and labia. This will result in a contraction of the tissue and prompt the deep skin layers to produce collagen. 

What are the other benefits that come with Thermal?

In addition to the above improvements, the treatment can be used to alleviate the following problems that come with vaginal tissue atrophy.
•          Restore vaginal lubrication
•          Enhance sex
•          Enhance your wellbeing and self-confidence
•          Provide comfort when wearing tight clothes
•          Alleviate pain during intercourse
•          Improve orgasm
•          Reduce urinary incontinence


How long will the results last?

The results can last for different periods of time, but most will be able to experience the benefits of the treatment at least for 6 months for external tissues and for a year or longer for the internal tissue. The results can be maintained when following up treatments are performed.

How may ThermiVa treatments will be required?

Some patients will be satisfied with the results they get from the first treatment, but most will opt for two or three treatments that are done a month apart until they achieve the level of tissue tightening they want.



When will you be able to notice results from the treatment?

Most patients will be able to observe results during the first two days after their first treatment. Others may require one to two weeks to experience a difference. Results will improve with time as the body produces more collagen in the virginal tissue due to the treatment.
Get the best out of ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation through a doctor in Algonquin.

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.

A board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Dass specializes in cosmetic plastic surgery and helps hundreds of patients regain their youthful looks and confidence through the many procedures he performs every year.

What you need to know about Jawline Reduction



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.

Where would you find Jawline Reduction Surgery in New York?
For those living in New York however, this needn’t be an issue to tear their hair out over. Jawline Reduction Surgery in Queens, NY is just a phone call away. Where? At the safe and capable hands of Dr. Edmund Kwan.

Dr. Kwan is an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who would set his artistic eye on you to determine what exactly needs to be done and how to set about doing it, to reduce the size of an unsightly jawline and facial fullness to bring shape and definition to the bottom half of the face.


What should be expected during the surgery?
Although the surgery is somewhat invasive and painful as the bone needs to be filed down, and there will be muscles removed, Dr. Kwan will ensure that each patient is comfortable and pain-free as possible with the right medication and anesthetics. 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.

For those who desire a more jawline, but are afraid to go under the knife, Dr. Kwan has another option – Botox injections. A more short-term solution lasting about six months, this is ideal for those who don’t need extensive work. These cosmetic injections are 100% safe and FDA-approved.
