4 Treatments to Book before Summer
Summer is getting closer, and you’re just in time to sneak in a cosmetic treatment that will leave you greeting the new season in style. At Cheng Plastic Surgery, we can help you get ready for bikini weather with treatments for the face and body that will let you shine all summer long. Check out these four treatments to book now before summer gets into full swing. All of the procedures offer positive results with minimal discomfort and downtime so you don’t miss any of the seasonal fun.
SmartLipo
If your winter body isn’t ready for the summer season, maybe a bit of trimming is in order to get your body ready for the big reveal. SmartLipo® utilizes medical-grade lasers to create a light beam powerful enough to eliminate unwanted fat cells without traumatizing surrounding skin and tissue. One of the major benefits of SmartLipo® is that it can also tighten the skin in the areas being treated, translating into a smooth, sculpted body contour.
At the Cheng Plastic Surgery, we use the SmartLipo® TriPlex, which is the most advanced form of Smartlipo® laser technology. It melts away fat cells while tightening skin via a triple wavelength form of laser technology. Patients experience little discomfort and downtime with Smartlipo® and find the results from this procedure are superior to other liposuction techniques overall.
Cellfina
Don’t let cellulite get in the way of flaunting your favorite bathing suit with confidence. Cellfina is the latest and only FDA cleared cellulite treatment that smooths away that cottage cheese skin for up to three years at a time. This treatment gets to the core of cellulite formation; the fibrous bands beneath the skin’s surface that tighten, leading to the dimpled appearance. Cellfina uses a small needle to release those bands, resulting in a smoother look right away.
Cellfina can be performed in our office using local anesthesia. Most of our patients return to their activities quickly, although there may be some soreness in the treatment area for a couple of weeks.
CoolSculpting
If you fear the warmer weather due to stubborn bulges of fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise, we have a solution for you! CoolSculpting is a non-surgical method of body contouring that eliminates those bulges through targeted freezing. The result is a smoother, leaner body profile that will look fabulous in your shortest shorts and favorite bikini.
CoolSculpting can be used to attack all of those problem spots like your muffin top, love handles and banana rolls that form underneath the buttocks. You can even use CoolSculpting to trim up the upper arms in anticipation of your sleeveless fashions. The procedure takes one to three hours to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area and there is no downtime after. Results will improve in the weeks following treatment, with most patients experiencing a fat reduction of 20-25 percent in the treated area.
Laser Hair Removal
The summer months can make you feel chained to your razor at times, in your quest to keep exposed skin smooth and hair-free. Now you can enjoy long-term separation from that razor all summer long, thanks to the permanent hair reduction you will see with laser hair removal. We offer the Light-Sheer Diode Laser system to provide our patients with the “gold standard” in laser treatments for unwanted facial and body hair.
This device works on nearly any skin tone and hair color, to give all of our patients the smooth summer look they are craving. Full results are usually seen after a series of treatment sessions so start your laser hair removal sooner rather than later to see positive results by summertime.
