Skin Procedures
Endermologie is a non-surgical procedure and the first FDA-approved cellulite treatment, which uses a hand-held massaging device to massage the affected area, improve blood circulation, slim fat cells, smooth cellulite, and firm the skin. This procedure is commonly used after liposuction to help with swelling, and it should be combined with a healthy diet and exercising regime. The results can last several months. For visible results, six to ten treatments of 30-45 minutes may be required. Endermologie can cost $90 to $115 depending on the area treated.
Laser pigmentation removal is a non-surgical procedure that uses lasers to remove pigmentation in the most visible areas of the body such as the face, neck, chest, arms and hands. If you want to improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation and superficial scars, you may be a good candidate for this procedure. After treatment, the patient may experience temporary reddening and skin discoloration in the treatment site. However, this treatment is so gentle that many patients get it done prior to work or during the lunch break. There are no side effects, no numbing injections or gels, and no need for extra measures to protect the skin. This nonsurgical procedure costs an average of $175 per treatment.
Fraxel laser treatment is a technologically advanced procedure that stimulates the production of elastin and collagen by making controlled tiny injuries to the skin. When the skin repairs these injuries, new skin cells are formed also healing any damage from sun exposure and skin problems. Patients with sun damage, stretch marks, wrinkles, and fine lines are the best candidates for this procedure. It’s a safe procedure with no known side effects. After treatment, you must be gentle with the skin and apply sunscreen. It’s natural for the skin to feel tight and itchy. If you experience uncomfortable swelling, cold compresses can help and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs. The average cost of this procedure is $1,600.
Non-surgical facial rejuvenation combines several procedures such as Botox, facial laser hair removal, lip augmentation, platelet-rich plasma, micro laser peel, permanent makeup, and others, to restore your skin’s natural glow. These procedures address the early signs of aging with the use of proven technology to rejuvenate the face and neck. Good candidates for this procedure are healthy patients, showing signs of aging that can’t be treated with surgery alone, with realistic expectations, who want to look younger, refreshed, and seek natural results. After facial rejuvenation, you will receive special instructions about your postsurgical care. Based on the procedures performed, after skin resurfacing, the face is covered with protective ointment, and bandages as needed. When a facelift, fat grafting, and laser surgery are combined, the face will be swollen and bruised at first. While recovery varies from patient to patient, your surgeon will talk about the symptoms you may experience during your initial consultation. Facial rejuvenation is considered elective; therefore your insurance may not cover these costs. The total cost is based on the procedures selected.
