Body Contouring
Weight loss is a major accomplishment, and the pride you feel is immense. But, many people experience excess skin left over after and 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.
Exilis
Exilis and Exilis Elite is focused radiofrequency waves directed at the deeper layers of the skin as well as the subcutaneous fat under the skin. The Exilis and Exilis Elite procedure promotes skin tightening via collagen synthesis and reshaping of targeted fat deposits. Fat shrinkage with Exilis occurs via absorption of heat in the fatty tissue (up to 3 cm).
This is a non-invasive treatment complements surgical results following invasive liposuction and Cellulaze procedures and improves skin tightening and tone.
Approximately two to four treatments are recommended, usually three weeks apart. There is no downtime associated with these procedures.
Venus Bliss
Venus Bliss is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses laser technology to heat up targeted tissue to tighten the skin and reduce fat and cellulite. Three treatments are recommended at six weeks apart for optimal results.
SmoothShapes
Reduce the appearance of cellulite with this non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment. SmoothShapes uses Photomology, a technology that combines laser and light energy to treat cellulite. SmoothShapes can also be used in conjunction with other treatments for maximum results.
Massage
Massage restores a sense of balance and rejuvenation to the body by relieving muscle tension and improving blood and lymph circulation. Our licensed massage therapists utilize a combination of Swedish massage, reflexology, deep tissue neuromuscular therapy and integrative therapeutic massage, including trigger point therapy and lymphatic drainage techniques. Massages are tailored to your specific desires and goals to maximize treatment outcomes.
Hyperbaric
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a painless procedure that exposes your body to high levels of oxygen in an environment with increased pressure, thus allowing greater absorption of oxygen throughout your body’s tissues. This medical treatment enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100-percent oxygen in a total body chamber.
ThermiVa
ThermiVa is a non-invasive treatment that uses radio frequency to heat up and rejuvenate vaginal tissue. This treatment helps improve tightening of the vaginal wall and helps alleviate dryness.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal targets hair follicles with pulses of light from a laser. The pigment in each hair follicle draws the laser toward it—this is similar to how dark objects attract sunlight. That process renders the follicle unable to work, and the hair never comes back.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound Therapy is the use of sound waves to treat inflammation and promote healing. This treatment is non-invasive with no downtime.
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 SmoothShapes 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.
