Look Your Best At Any Age

If you ever look in the mirror and feel that what you see doesn't reflect the real you, you may wish to check out some new lasers that balance how you look with how you feel and empower you to look your best at any age.

The secrets are two new technologies radiofrequency and ultrasound. You may be familiar with older radiofrequency treatments such as Thermage. Now, the next generation of Exilis, Ulthera, Vanquish and Syneron lasers features an innovative combination of laser energies to tighten your skin; smooth wrinkles; fade sun spots, scars and spider veins; remove unwanted hair and even remove unwanted fat, re-contour your chin and body, and treat cellulite. The results are stunning, scar-free, often take only minutes, and require little or no down time.

The science behind this breakthrough technology is fascinating. The Exilis Ultra laser is the first laser to combine radiofrequency and ultrasound, to give better and faster results than the older Exilis Elite. The Exilis Ultra has a unique, dual-treatment capability to tighten skin and stimulate formation of new collagen and elastic tissue and also to remove unwanted fat. It achieves dramatic re-contouring of your face, jawline, arms, abdomen, legs including knees, buttocks, and any other areas where restoration of the skin's youthful resilience and removal of undesirable fatty deposits is needed. Treatment is completely painless and feels like a hot stone massage.

Ulthera is another revolutionary laser, which harnesses the power of ultrasound for non-surgical lifting of your face, chin, chest, buttocks, arms and other regions. Ultherapy specifically targets the muscles as well as the deep layers of the skin, stimulating new collagen, tightening and lifting. Results are typically achieved after only one treatment session.

The Syneron Triniti and Elos systems rejuvenate all three layers of your skin on your face, neck, chest, arms and other areas during the same session by targeting wrinkles, loose skin, skin discolorations and broken blood vessels. These systems combine intense pulsed light (IPL) and infrared energy with radiofrequency. The advantage of combining those treatments is faster and much more precise than with older lasers and it is more comfortable, often not even requiring numbing cream. The combination also allows all skin types, from lighter to darker skin, to be treated without risk of burning or scarring. You can usually return to regular activities immediately, including social events. The eMatrix, the world's first radiofrequency fractional laser, is used to treat deeper wrinkles and scars. It is precisely individualized to address your own unique pattern of aging more efficiently and at a lower cost than with older fractional lasers.

These treatments are designed to look completely natural, prevent deepening of wrinkles and stimulate long-term collagen production. They are effective, long lasting and cost-efficient. Patients are often amazed at how young they look after these treatments. Their skin is not only lifted, smoother and tighter, but also has a beautiful glow.

Vanquish is a revolutionary new laser that melts away fat from your abdomen, waistline, back and bra regions, buttocks and other areas with no surgery and absolutely no recovery time. Vanquish ME (Maximum Energy) is the latest innovation, which gives more dramatic results more quickly. Laser-assisted fat liposuction can also remove stubborn fat deposits to re-contour your chin, stomach, thighs, arms and other areas with no down time. No anesthesia is needed other than local numbing.

The combination of Vanquish ME or liposuction with Exilis Ultra or VelaShape lasers for cellulite, stretch marks and skin tightening can give significant improvement areas such as your abdomen, waistline and thighs. This customized combination offers advanced body sculpting.

The American Board of Medical Specialties recognizes four core aesthetic specialties that are appropriately qualified to perform cosmetic surgery procedures dermatology, plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, and oculoplastic surgery. Some core aesthetic specialists evolve to the point of serving as researchers, international trainers and teachers for theses technologies. They may also be selected to serve as principal investigators for US FDA studies of new technologies, and help to steer medical education programs.

For the best results, select a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has specific training in these procedures and with whom you feel comfortable. A board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon understands how to use the most modern technologies to lift your face and may combine your face or body treatments with Botox and natural fillers such as Voluma, Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse and Sculptra.
