GET LIPOSUCTION AND RECEIVE 50% OFF THERMAGE FOR SKIN TIGHTENING

 

Tumescent liposuction involves the use of local anesthetic and other medications to fill the fatty layer of the skin prior to removing the excess fat. This causes the tissue to become swollen and firm, allowing for excellent control. After a small incision is made in the skin, a little tube (cannula) connected to a vacuum-like machine is inserted into the fatty layer. Using back and forth movements, the fat is sucked through the tube into a sterile collection system.

General anesthesia is not required, eliminating potential complications. The result is a sculpting of bulging areas into more attractive contours. Since the patient remains awake during the surgery, the dermatologic surgeon can ask him/her to change positions which leads to better sculpting of the targeted areas and reduces cost.

Liposuction can safely remove undesired fat from nearly all body areas including the face, neck, chin, breast, abdomen, hips, flanks (love handles), back, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, knees, calves, and ankles. It’s also an effective treatment for certain non-cosmetic conditions such as lipomas (benign fatty tumors), enlarged male and female breasts, and excessive underarm sweating. Dr. Sonia Batra (biography on right), performs the procedure.

A consultation is required to determine candidacy.

THERMAGE FOR SKIN TIGHTENING POST-LIPOSUCTION AT 50% OFF

Three weeks after liposuction, thermage is the perfect follow-up treatment to add firmness to loosened skin.

Thermage is a safe, effective, non-invasive procedure that renews the collagen in your skin in only one treatment. A single treatment tightens your existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth. Collagen is the building block that provides structure to your skin. Therefore, improvements are immediately visible and will continue for up to six months! The results can last for years.

As opposed to lasers, thermage is advisable for all skin types and tones, does not require three or more treatments, and has NO downtime! The unique Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology safely heats your skin’s under layer and the web of collagen in the inner layer, causing an immediate tightening as well as improved tone and texture. Thermage is FDA approved and clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours.

Our patients are getting Thermage to the face, neck, chin, buttocks, upper thighs, lower thighs, abdomen, and eyes with exceptional results. Results will be noticeable at any age, but ages 35-60 report the greatest results.

Get ready for summer!

NEW GREEN PEEL

Purely Herbal Without Chemical Ingredients!

The Green Peel herbal peel is a combination of herbs, algae, minerals, enzymes and vitamins. These herbs are combined with a calming, soothing concentrate comprised of aloe vera, panthenol and allantoin to create a paste which is massaged into the face or body in a specific way by a certified, experienced aesthetician. The result of this massage is a light removal of the upper layers of the epidermis induced by the microsized particles of the herbal extract. Through this action, the natural process of cell renewal is encouraged and supported. The skin's blood circulation is stimulated, the oxygenation and detoxification of the cells is greatly improved leading to a healthier functioning of the skin.
