BODY FAT & SAGGING SKIN
65% of people living in the United States are unhappy with the appearance of their face and bodies after age 40. As the years go by, body fat and sagging skin are the top two conditions people wish they could change.
NON-INVASIVE TREATMENT FOR BODY FAT REDUCTION
If you exercise and eat healthy on a regular basis, but can’t seem to reduce those stubborn love handles, muffin tops or spare tires, you may be a candidate for CoolSculpting®. CoolSculpting ® is an in-office, non-invasive treatment that uses a patented cooling technology to freeze and shrink fat cells. Contact Dr. Zimmet for a free consultation to learn how CoolSculpting® can help you reduce unwanted body fat and reach your desired weight goal.
SAGGING SKIN
Sagging skin is the result of aging, sun exposure, gravity and genetics. The skin loses its elasticity, causing it to sag. Weight loss can also contribute to skin sagging.
As we age, we naturally lose fatty tissue in our face. This process causes skin to hang as gravity takes its toll, creating droopiness and wrinkles.
Skin sagging can be treated with nonsurgical and surgical skin-tightening options.
NONSURGICAL TREATMENTS FOR SAGGING SKIN
Since some people consider surgery an extreme measure, patients often seek minimally invasive nonsurgical treatments to tighten skin. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm® or Restlyane, and devices such as EndyMed(TM) 3DEEP and Restylane® are injections to add volume and reduce facial creases such as around the nasolabial fold and mouth.
Ultherapy is a new kind of cosmetic procedure that doesn’t require surgery to reduce the appearance of loose, sagging skin and create youthful, rejuvenated skin. Using a medical grade ultrasound, this procedure works deep within the skin to tighten, firm and lift face and neck skin.
Dr. Zimmet uses Thermage®, that use radiofrequency waves, to heat the dermis, causing skin tightening and new collagen production. Normally there is no downtime- people typically return to normal activities, even go to dinner the day they are treated.
Fractional RF skin resurfacing treatment is another option for improving skin laxity. Radio frequency energy is applied to a grid of matrix spots projected onto the facial area, generating new skin cells and increasing collagen. After treatment, the skin has a smoother, tighter appearance.
Laser resurfacing using the Fractionated CO2 laser (Active FX, Deep FX) ablates the surface of the skin. It is also a valuable tool for treating a range of aesthetic problems, including wrinkles, sun damage, aging eyelids, acne scarring and skin sagging.
