Slim Down Before Summer with SmartLipo Triplex

When it comes to slimming down, the first part of the body everyone wants to reduce in size is almost always the stomach. After all, this is often the most visible deposit of fat in your body, and as most people will tell you, it can often be very difficult to make fat go away.  Smartlipo Triplex can help you reduce unwanted fat in your abdomen and other areas on the body.

Traditional, or tumescent, liposuction only removes fat from your body, sometimes leaving you with loose excess skin where fat once lay dormant, SmartLipo Triplex uses a blend of laser wavelengths to break down fat cells and help tighten skin!


How it Works

SmartLipo Triplex is the newest technology of laser liposuction. It melts the fat cells before removing them with a much smaller cannula than is used for traditional liposuction procedures. First, a micro-cannula—outfitted with a medical grade laser fiber—is inserted into the targeted area. Then, the plastic surgeon will begin “melting” fat cells with the laser, breaking them down so the micro-cannula can easier manage them. A second laser wavelength is applied under the skin that will ultimately cause the skin to contract inward, or tighten the skin.  Finally, the plastic surgeon uses the micro-cannula to suck out the broken down fat cells, and sculpt your stomach to a more natural and slim shape! Overall, this is a much less invasive procedure that produces results you will never see with traditional liposuction.

Other Benefits

Besides being less invasive, there are also quite a few other benefits that separate this procedure from other laser lipo treatments. These include the following:

• Use of Local Anesthesia
• Quick Procedure
• Short Recovery
• Fewer Side Effects
• Improved Results
• More affordable

Best of all, though it is most often used for stomach procedures, SmartLipo Triplex can be used to target almost any area of the body that builds up fat, such as the neck, arms, thighs, and waist.

Like all cosmetic procedures, you should find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with extensive training in liposuction to get the results that you want. That is why, if you are interested in a SmartLipo Triplex procedure, you should call Dr. Robert Kratschmer, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Pearland and Houston TX. Our staff has the experience needed to make sure you get exactly what you want.  Call us at 281-317-8179 to set up your Cosmetic Consultation, or click here to instantly schedule online today!

The Benefits of Laser Hair Reduction

Women want gorgeous, flowing, and beautiful hair -- on their heads, that is. Many women look for solutions to unwanted hair on their legs, face, arms, underarms, and bikini.

 

To get rid of unwanted hair, you could shave, tweeze, or wax. Or, you could remove hair for good with safe and effective laser hair removal. Learn more about the benefits of this medical spa treatment.

• Laser hair removal alleviates time wasted with tweezers, razors, wax, or other uncomfortable methods. Spend a little time at a med spa under the laser, and you will be done dealing with unwanted hair. Imagine what you could do with all of that extra time.
• Though the number of sessions needed may differ depending on your needs, these sessions are an investment in your time and effort. Instead of monthly, weekly, or even daily hair maintenance, laser hair removal offers a long-lasting solution.  Most patients require about 6 treatments, and we have a convenient membership plan to make treatment more budget friendly.
• Laser hair removal is relatively quick. In a very short period of time, the laser will target the hair follicle, and your Esthetician will quickly move through the entire treatment area. You'll have the hair-free look you want in no time.
• Laser treatment is great for facial hair removal, underarms, and bikini areas. It can also be used on larger areas like arms and legs.
• Side effects are rare. Scarring rarely occurs, unlike with razors, when one accidental cut can leave you with a permanent blemish. Other side effects, like redness and swelling, are normal and quickly fade following treatment.

For a procedure like laser hair removal, trust the experts at a medical spa. At Chic Esthetiq Med Spa in Pearland, we offer hair removal as well as other med spa services like Botox, body wraps, spider vein treatments, laser for stretchmarks, and more. Call us at 713-909-3088 to schedule an appointment today!

What's So Special About Serum?

What’s the difference between a serum and a cream? Why are they so expensive? And most importantly, have you considered trying one? Here are some reasons why you might want to consider making a worthy investment:

You have a skin problem / issue / imperfection... (but don't we all?!)
Serums tend to be more effective than plain old-school moisturizers due to the method of delivery: Serums are more concentrated so they’re able to penetrate more deeply than creams.  Because of this, these products are ideal for troubleshooting specific problems such as redness, acne and hyperpigmentation.

You have oily skin.
Oily skin types tend to avoid rich, heavy oil-based creams since they can clog pores and bring on breakouts. But skimping on a moisturizer means losing out on potential anti-aging benefits. Many people do not understand that drying out your skin can actually result in increased oil production. Luckily, most serums are lightweight enough to slather on without having to be concerned with overly oily skin. Bonus: Formulas that contain vitamin C and antioxidants leave skin looking hydrated and healthy—not sweaty. Top off with an oil-free sunscreen like my personal favorite -- SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion Tinted Sunscreen in SPF 50 ($34).

You have dry skin days.
Winter is notorious for causing your skin to turn dry and flaky—and even the creamiest, richest moisturizer isn’t always enough. Many serums are formulated to act as boosters to heavier creams by providing a crucial layer of vitamins and antioxidants that the cream effectively “seals” into skin. Think of a serum as a strong foundation and cream as a protective barrier.

We carry some amazing serums like SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic.  We’d love to explain their benefits to you and help you decide which one suits your needs best. Drop by to chat with us or learn more about our products here.

Anti-Aging Treatment Timeline: How Long Will My Treatment Last?

The two most popular questions with any treatment... How long until I see the result? How long will it last?

 

Well.. it depends.  Few offer immediate results, but many anti-aging services offer lasting improvement to the face and body long after you finish your first treatment. Depending on the nature of your skin and the treatment option you select, you may see continued benefits for a few months to a year. The following offers a look at how three of the most popular anti-aging treatments can provide a lasting result.

• Botox

The key to Botox’s success is its ability to numb the facial nerves that signal muscles to contract and cause wrinkles. Those who receive this treatment know firsthand how quickly Botox can take effect -- on average 24 hours with use of Zytaze, or about a week without. This minimally invasive procedure continues to reduce lines and wrinkles for approximately 4 months for most patients.

• Juvederm

Individuals with severe wrinkles or facial folds may opt for Juvederm or other dermal fillers. Juvederm counteracts the effects of sagging skin by reintroducing hyaluronic acid into the tissue. Hyaluronic acid is the substance largely responsible for skin volume. Once injected into the area suffering from lost density, Juvederm can improve the look of wrinkles for approximately 12 months.  You see the results immediately after treatment, but some people have bruising that may last a few days.

• Skin Tightening

Unlike cosmetic injectables, skin tightening enhances the skin using only heat. This heat energy can produce remarkable results by stimulating the collagen that creates toned and youthful skin. Some individuals may witness immediate improvement to their skin upon the completion of their first skin tightening session, some can take up to two weeks. Heat energy causes residual collagen regeneration after treatment, allowing patents to enjoy the results of their procedure for months at a time.  Most patients require a series to see the best result.


Chic Esthetiq Med Spa and Robert Kratschmer MD offers a variety of cosmetic enhancement procedures that can help you look and feel your best. We provide Botox, Juvederm, and skin tightening services for those in the Pearland, Friendswood, Lake Jackson, and Sugarland communities. To make an appointment for treatment, call (281) 317-8179.
