Patients who seek an alternative body contouring solution to surgery have a variety of safe procedures to select from at our Skin Spa. Zeltiq™ uses an advanced cooling technique called Cryolipolysis™, which effectively targets and removes fat cells from the body leaving the skin and other tissues unharmed. Zeltiq™ patients typically see an improvement and a reduction of fat bulges in about 2-4 months post procedure.
Patients who are active and engage in regular physical exercise and seek a treatment option to aid in their efforts to reduce the signs of cellulite may benefit from the VelaSmooth™ Cellulite Treatment. The unit works by using radio frequencies and infrared energy to stimulate the fat cells metabolism. There is also a vacuum like suction that smooths out and improves circulation to the treated area. A healthy diet, which includes drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day, and a regular exercise regime, can greatly improve the results of the VelaSmooth™ treatment.
The Skin Spa also offers a non-surgical procedure for patients seeking to correct areas of their bodies that may be lacking in skin tightness. By using a non-invasive Radio Frequency Energy System, Thermage® may correct areas of loose skin, not only in the face, but also the body. The use of sunscreen with SPF 60 or higher should be worn daily to prevent premature breakdown of collagen from sun exposure.
