Body Contouring in Alpharetta, GA
Body Contouring
Weight loss is a major accomplishment, and the pride you feel is immense. But, many people experience excess skin left over after major weight loss and are frustrated. You may wonder about what non-surgical options for fat reduction there are and whether they really work. The answer comes in the form of body contouring, which can drastically improve the shape and tone of your underlying tissue supporting fat and skin. It can help remove excess sagging fat and skin, so your weight loss hard work will really show!
Many new technology advances have made improvements in the outcomes of body contouring. There are several non-invasive procedures that can be used alone or in conjunction with liposuction, to achieve your desired outcome.
Physiq
Physiq is a revolutionary treatment that uses thermal heat and electrical pulses to melt fat while stimulating muscle development. If you want to shed inches while toning up, this treatment is for you. Physiq is a non-surgical alternative to other body contouring procedures and targets stubborn areas of localized fat. You’ll slim down and increase muscle tone without pain, without further diet restriction, and without downtime.
Patients undergoing Physiq treatments can elect to combine the treatments with Virtue RF for enhanced results.
CELLULITE REDUCTION
Cellulite does not discriminate, affecting women of all ages and body shapes. The characteristic lumpy and dimpled skin on areas of the mid and lower body does not respond to diet, exercise or weight loss. Cellulite is a genetic issue that is structural in nature, lying beneath the skin’s surface. Cellulite occurs when bands of connective tissue beneath your skin harden or stiffen. The surrounding fat cells increase in size and are squeezed and pushed upward, creating bumps that some people call the “cottage cheese” effect. Cellulite is a naturally occurring occurrence, but many find themselves wanting to reduce its appearance. Fortunately, there are a number of excellent treatments that can help you reduce cellulite in a quick and relatively painless manner. We offer several here at the Graivier Center.
SMOOTHSHAPES
Reduce the appearance of cellulite with this non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment. The SmoothShapes system uses Photomology, a technology that combines laser and light energy with manual and mechanical manipulation to treat cellulite. SmoothShapes can also be used in conjunction with other treatments for maximum results. The Smooth Shapes process targets fibrous septae from under the skin through a combination of two laser energies. These lasers mobilize the fat out of the fat cells and stimulate collagen production. These create a smoother appearance for the skin. SmoothShapes takes approximately 10 treatments, with treatments twice a week for five weeks recommended. No preparation is necessary. Patients report feeling the massage from the rollers and some mild heat from the laser. Some people experience some redness of the skin that should fade away almost immediately.
CELLULAZE™
Cellulaze™ is a revolutionary advancement in laser technology, addressing the three causes of cellulite at the source: dimpling, areas of bulging, and thinning of the skin, which occurs along with aging. Cellulaze™ treatment is a laser wavelength that directs energy precisely where needed to achieve long-lasting results. This revolutionary procedure uses heat to stimulate the growth of new collagen, tightening and improving the integrity of the skin as well as releasing the fibrous bands, which cause the dimpling and bulging of the skin. Cellulaze™ is the best option for reducing the appearance of cellulite in one treatment and has been proven to be effective and safe in clinical trials. Cellulaze™ can be done under local anesthesia, however, that would be determined at the time of consultation and dictated by the amount of time needed to achieve results. Cellulaze reduces cellulite almost immediately, and can often produce improved results over the following 6 to 12 months. Usually, patients only need one treatment that can keep cellulite at bay for around a year. There’s no reason to feel bad about the way you look: if you’re concerned about cellulite building up, the Graivier Center offers several fantastic treatments that can have you looking your best in no time.
