Skin Damage After Smart Lipo and PAL

Skin Damage After Smart Lipo and PAL
Apr 29, 2011

Fortunately, skin damage after these two liposuction procedures are relatively uncommon, but there is always a potential for skin dammage if the procedure is not performed properly. Proper patient selection is of utmost importance for any surgical procedure. Avoiding too much lasering of the subcutaneous fat layer as well as avoiding too much superficial liposuction will also decrease the chance of skin necrosis after liposuction.

Arm Lift with Lipo Now Vs Laser Lipo Now and Arm Lift Later?

Arm Lift with Lipo Now Vs Laser Lipo Now and Arm Lift Later
Apr 29, 2011

With any type of surgical procedure, patient selection is of utmost importance for the best results. For patients with minimal or mild skin looseness, Smartlipo has been a very effective procedure for arm contouring without all the scars associated with an arm lift, or brachioplasty. For patients with significant loose and extra hanging skin, liposuction alone might be disappointing in terms of the results.

Sometimes, patients who do not want the scarring associated with brachioplasty…

Is It Possible to Receive CO2 Resurfacing on the Just the Nose?

Spot treating with CO2 Laser
Jan 10, 2011

Absolutely! The CO2 Laser is amazing to treat the whole face but certainly can be used to spot treat trouble areas. I recommend doing the whole face as the skin over all as a whole will be more uniform but spot treating is certainly not a problem.

How Long Does Redness Around the Eyes Last After Active FX?

Prolonged Redness with Active FX
Oct 12, 2010

With Active FX, 5-10 days with redness and then the pink or amber color can last up thru 6-8 weeks…. There are a few variables that could leave redness prolonged such as: your ethnicity, sun exposure, excess exercise, chemicals that irritate the skin, excess rubbing of the area, after care or after care products can all play a factor.

Who Should Consider a Tummy Tuck?

Ideal Patient / Candidate for Tummy Tuck
Oct 12, 2010

Patients have many options available now for body contouring purposes. For instance, Smartlipo, or laser assisted liposuction, can be very effective in improving one's waistline. Patients who have mostly excess subcutaneous fat and mildly loose skin are the best candidates for this procedure.

However, in females who have significant excess skin in the lower abdominal region from having children or significant weight fluctuations, the best way to improve the appearance of the…

What’s the Best Moisturizing Cream to Use After Laser Resurfacing?

Post Op Laser Skin Resurfacing
Oct 12, 2010

Cetaphil Facial Wash Soap to wash with after laser skin resurfacing and we recommend using clean finger tips or gloved hands to keep any bacteria out.

Aquaphor is then applied in an even coat all over the treated area, much like a liquid bandage, until the skin has reepithelialization / closed / healed over the next 7-10 days. Right after the procedure, the Aquaphor is used a bit thicker then less and less to a thin film as the healing goes on. Then spot treat the areas…

Can Laser Resurfacing and Wrinkle Fillers Be Combined?

Absolutely!!
Oct 12, 2010

In a society of instant gratification, waiting for laser results can take several weeks, and the full results even a few months after. Injectables such as fillers and Botox / Dysport are an excellent choice to couple after a laser skin resurfacing procedure, best about 2 weeks post laser, to compliment an amazing result.

The laser will tighten your skin and collagen you already have during this healing but there are other places in your face where…
