What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment that resurfaces the skin by gently exfoliating the topmost layer of the dermis to remove dead skin cells, even out the texture and pigmentation, improve the appearance of wrinkles and acne scarring leaving the skin healthier, softer and firmer. It requires no downtime.

Results are gradual and vary according to skin condition and number of treatments. Most people experience softer, smoother skin after their 1st treatment.

Why is Diamond Microdermabrasion better than Crystal Microdermabrasion?

• Latest technology in microdermbrasion
• No crystal residue on the skin, eyes, hair or floating in the air
• No need to wear protective eye goggles or mask
• No environmentally hazardous waste

Who Can Benefit?

Diamond Microdermabrasion is beneficial to all skin types but specially anyone who wants improvement on specific conditions such as:

• Sun damage
• Age spots
• Acne scarring and acne hyper pigmentation
• Blackheads and whiteheads
• Appearance of fine and deep lines (wrinkles)
• Loss of elasticity and firmness
• Stretch Marks

How Often Should I have Diamond Microdermabrasion?

A series of treatments is highly recommended in order to achieve optimal results. After the series is completed maintenance every 8-10 weeks is advised. An home skincare regimen prescribed by Patricia Casey, LME is essential to complement and enhance the results of the Microdermabrasion treatment at Davis Plastic Surgery in Raleigh, NC.

When can I expect to see my CoolSculpting results?

Patients often ask how soon will they be able to see results after a CoolSculpting treatment.  At Davis Plastic Surgery we have found that only a few patients will show results in as soon as 1 month, but a more consistent finding is that it takes 2-3 months to see the final result.  We typically see patients for follow up between 8 – 10 weeks. At that point, we take after pictures and  can make an assessment if the treatment worked well for them, if they need another treatment in the same area or if they would like to treat a different area.

We did decide to take this patient’s Before and After pictures right before 6 weeks – because she was so insistent about her results!  She is thrilled and we are going to be sure to take them around 10 weeks again.

Leave some things behind in 2011!

Leave some things behind in 2011 – like your love-handles!  

CoolSculpting™ by ZELTIQ™ is a breakthrough, non-invasive technology that freezes away stubborn fat. CoolSculpting gently targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges. Each CoolSculpting procedure results in an average 20% (or more!) reduction of fat in the treated area.

Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime. Patients often spend the one to two hours of procedure time reading, watching a movie on our iPad, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.

Results can be seen in as soon as three weeks following treatment, with the best results occurring over the next two to four months.

This Davis Plastic Surgery patient is 8 weeks out from CoolSculpting to her central abdomen and love-handles.

Before & After CoolSculpting at Davis Plastic Surgery

What happens during the procedure?
First we will work with you to determine the best areas to treat. For instance, if your goal is to reduce your love handles, our staff will position the system on your side. The device then draws the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm tug and pull – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently.

 

What does it feel like?
As the panels go to work in the first few minutes, you will feel a sensation of intense cold. This soon dissipates. You will be seated comfortably or lying down during the procedure in a comfortable and private room.

Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?
Yes. The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-invasive, so you can return to normal activities immediately. You may experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, or numbness in the treated area, but this is temporary.

When will I see results?
You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will still be flushing fat cells at that time, and will continue doing so for up to four months.

Are the results permanent?
During the CoolSculpting procedure, the treated fat cells are eliminated. As long as you maintain your weight with normal diet and exercise, long-term results should remain stable.

 

Great CoolSculpting evening – thanks everyone!

Thanks to our gracious model, Pam, who was happy enough to share her experience and let guests watch us freeze her love-handles!   We had a great turnout, lots of fun and fantastic food & drink – we are ready to do it again soon!

Look for updates on our next CoolSculpting event taking place Dec 15th – this time at Clothes Hound!  The entire staff at Davis Plastic Surgery always shop at this Raleigh boutique and thought it would be fun to bring CoolSculpting to them!

Fabulous December specials!
