New Way To Reduce Wrinkles and Cellulite

By Jeanette Coutin, DDS

Are you concerned about your loose, saggy, wrinkled skin? Do you have pockets of unwanted fat and cellulite? Are you looking for a painless and effective treatment to improve the appearance of your skin and body? If you've answered 'yes' to any of these questions, you may want to try Venus Freeze, a new FDA-approved treatment to improve your body's shape and appearance.

Venus Freeze can be a good option for those of us who watch what we eat and work out regularly but still have areas on our bodies, which don't look right to us. Many patients have expressed that they are pleased with the results, and they are pleasantly surprised by both the painless procedure and the amount of time invested.

What Is Venus Freeze?

This new technology uses pulsed magnetic fields, which can increase oxygen, nutrients, and blood to the skin giving the skin an immediate and long lasting glow.

This technology was specifically developed to provide you with a safe, pleasant, and pain-free experience in treatments for the face and body including arms, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, and face.

How it Works

Venus Freeze works by incorporating multi-polar radio frequency and magnetic pulsed fields into one device and delivering it safely and effectively to the patient.

Skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and cellulite reduction may occur because the multi-polar radio frequency causes a thermal response in the tissue, which activates the body's natural healing response. That healing response can help cause new collagen to form, new elastin fibers, and the production of fibroblasts to increase. The existing collagen in the skin contracts (this causes the skin to look and feel firmer) and the elastin fibers unravel (which makes the skin more elastic).

Body contouring is achieved when the temperature of the skin is elevated, and the body releases stress hormones. These hormones pass through the blood stream, and attach themselves to specific receptors on the membrane of the fat cell in the hypodermis (the deepest layer of the skin). The stress hormone, once attached to the receptor, activates the hormone sensitive lipase the hormone that is in charge of breaking down triglycerides into free fatty acids. The free fatty acids exit the fat cell through the blood stream, and the volume of the fat cell is thus reduced giving you a smoother, more contoured shape.

What to Expect

Treatments are non-invasive and painless, with many patients comparing the treatment to a hot-stone massage. Treatments take approximately 30 – 40 minutes depending on the area. You can expect to see results as the treatments progress; a minimum of six treatments for the face, six on the neck, and eight on the body.
