Cosmetic Surgery Times Magazine: When CoolSculpting goes wrong

Myla Bennett, M.D., a plastic surgeon and owner of the Ederra Bella Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa, in Johns Creek, Ga., says she has performed hundreds of CoolSculpting cases. Among those, two of her CoolSculpting patients had post-treatment paradoxical adipose hyperplasia.

“That’s where the patient will actually get a reverse reaction. Instead of fat reduction, they actually end up with more fat cells in that area. It happens more commonly in men than women, and there’s really nothing you can do to prevent it or even know if somebody is at risk for it,” Dr. Bennett says. Read more.

At Zimmet Vein & Dermatology we are very happy with our current method for non-invasive fat reduction, Ultrashape. The results have been very good with a procedure that is virtually painless. Learn more about Ultrashape.

Laser Hair Removal Before and After Photos

Laser hair removal is considered to be the most effective and reliable skin care procedure to get rid of unwanted hair in any part of the body. During the initial consultation process, the treatment expert will discuss all aspects of the procedure, and may also provide the patient with laser hair removal before and after photographs.

For an experienced treatment provider, the first goal is to ensure that the patient makes a well-informed decision. Zimmet Vein & Dermatology is a leading practice offering state of the art laser hair removal and other procedures. Led by eminent dermatologist Dr. Steven Zimmet, the practice receives patients from Austin, TX and surrounding communities.

What are Laser Hair Removal Before and After Images?

Before and after images in case of laser hair removal refer to a pair or group of pictures pertaining to a previous patient who has undergone the same treatment with successful results. The pictures include images taken prior to the procedure and after the procedure at a stage when all treatment sessions have been completed and full effects of the laser hair removal dermatology procedure are visible.

The laser treatment expert will obtain the photographs with the consent of the patient and will present them before new patients in a discreet manner. The only purpose of the provider in this case is to use the photos as a tool to educate new patients about different aspects of laser hair removal. When a new patient understands what the procedure can or cannot do for them, they are in a better position to make the right choice.

Advantages

When a new patient is considering laser hair removal for the first time, they may be apprehensive about how the treatment may impact their skin appearance, or how effectively it may achieve the desired results in the targeted areas of the skin. Different patients may have different skin type, skin tone and hair color, which can have a specific impact on their hair removal outcome.

In all such cases, the treatment provider will be able to address the patient’s concerns and show them the estimated results for their skin and hair parameters by presenting the appropriate laser hair removal before and after photos. Dr. Zimmet is an experienced dermatologist providing laser hair removal and other procedures to patients in Austin, TX and nearby areas.

Being Realistic

When a patient chooses a procedure with realistic expectations, chances are that the results will be more satisfying and achieve their essential purpose of making the patient happy and aesthetically confident. With the help of laser hair removal before and after photos, the treatment provider can ensure at the very outset that the patient knows what to expect and what not to expect from the treatment.

Online Photographs

A treatment provider has the option to include laser hair removal before and after photos on their practice website. New patients may simply access the photos online and decide to visit the dermatologist’s office only after a review of the photos in the privacy and comfort of their home or office.
