Think it's too soon to start preparing for the holidays? Think again. If you want to look your best in time for those holiday parties, check out the timeline below:
SMARTLIPO TRIPLEX: Ideal for body contouring to remove unwanted fat from areas like the stomach, arms, thighs, and hips.
When? 3-4 months in advance
What our patients are saying: "Dr. Kratschmer performed Smart Lipo on my abdomen and flanks and I am very pleased with the results. The staff is friendly and helpful. It took about 3-4 months to see full results of the procedure. I was worried for the first 1-2 months because of the swelling, however my abdomen is now much flatter than it was before the procedure.
Why? It takes time for swelling to resolve. For unwanted fat removal on the abdomen, allow yourself a few months for swelling to resolve if you want a noticeable improvement in your waistline."
LASER FACIALS: Improve complexion by removing hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and age spots. Remove excess redness caused by rosacea and broken capillaries. Remove fine lines and improve the appearance of wrinkles.
When? 1-3 months in advance
What our patients are saying: "Had a very pleasant experience while having IPL (Intense Pulse Laser) done on my face to smooth out sun/age spots and pigment discoloration. My goal was to balance my skin tone and the IPL treatment did just that after only (1) treatment. I will return to have the 2nd IPL treatment in (4) weeks and am looking forward to it."
Why? Depending on the type of laser facial used, results may require a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart. A laser facial for hyperpigmentation, for example, may not require the same number of treatments as a laser facial for wrinkles.
SKIN CARE: Improve your skin and complexion by following a medical-grade skincare routine. Medical skincare products have higher strengths of ingredients than what is found at a drug store or department store. A skincare routine that uses high quality products can treat acne, reduce inflammation, and improve the overall tone and texture of your skin.
When? 3-6 weeks in advance
What our patients are saying: "I came to Dr. Kratschmer's office looking for some options for some issues with my skin. I was pleasantly surprised with not only the products on hand, but the staffs knowledge of the products and that they took the time to recommend and explain things to me. I bought a few products and could see a difference within just a few days and my skin is getting better with each use. I will DEFINATELY be back and would recommend him to ANYONE!!"
Why? With ongoing use of effective skin care products for problems such as acne, oily, or dry skin, you should see an improvement fairly quickly. Problematic skin can take a couple weeks to clear up. Give yourself time if you want radiant skin for your holiday party!
BOTOX & DERMAL FILLERS Botox can treat fine lines on the upper face by temporarily "freezing" the muscle. Dermal fillers are used on deeper lines or areas of the face that need volume.
When? 2-3 weeks in advance
Why? Botox for wrinkles in the forehead takes about a week to see the result. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Voluma, Restylane, and Perlane can produce an immediate result; however it is better to allow a couple of weeks just in case you have swelling or bruising.
