Top 3 Non-Surgical Treatments to Be Bikini Body Ready

Even in our sunny state of Florida there is still "bikini season" which usually begins in March for us.  Everyone wants to look their best in a bikini as you can't hide any flaws when you're nearly naked!  Fortunately there are some non-surgical aesthetic treatments that men and women can utilize to look their very best in a swimsuit.  All of these along with a healthy diet & exercise will have you looking like a "beach babe" in no time.  Here are some of our favorite body treatments we use at our Orlando medical spa Winter Park Laser.
Top 3 Non-Surgical Treatments to be bikini body ready
#1 Laser Hair Removal: Who wants to worry about stubble, redness, or ingrown hairsaround your bikini line or underarms?
Laser Hair Removal will eliminate stubble & ingrowns  and will give you permanent relief after 6 treatments. How it works: Laser hair removal works by directing concentrated beams of filtered light to a group of hair follicles, using enough power to disable or destroy the root responsible for hair growth without harming the surrounding skin.  Treatments are once every 4-7 weeks as hair growth cycles differ on various body parts and requires no down-time. After just one treatment you will see an immediate improvement as the hair grows in thinner.
#2 Velashape II Cellulite Reduction: Cellulite is caused by hereditary issues, stress, water retention, and other factors that make it difficult to treat with exercise and diet alone.
Powered by the revolutionary elos™ Technology utilizing bi-polar radio frequency, it treats the deeper tissue, offering a measurable reduction in fat layers, circumference and the upper layers of the skin, resulting in cellulite reduction, the smoothing of the skin’s tone and texture, inches lost, and noticeable reshaping of the treated area in 5-6 treatments. An infrared thermometer is used to ensure your body heats up to 104 degrees-the temperature it takes to melt fat. Many clients describe the treatments as feeling like a warm deep tissue massage.  You will be dimple free in 5 weeks running down the beach!
#3 TruSculpt Fat Reduction & Body Sculpting: Sometimes areas like the abdomen and love handles are hard to reduce the stubborn fat.  TruSculpt helps make it easier so you can say goodbye one piece, hello 2 piece.
TruSculpt™ is the first RF Non-invasive procedure to give permanent surgical type results, previously only available through cosmetic surgery. Using radio frequencies, the practitioner deep-heats tissue over large areas of the body. This treatment is similar to coolsculpting by Zeltiq but offers more visible results with less pain.
In only 2-3 treatments, patients can quickly see permanent results in their appearance, such as smaller mass, tighter skin and less dimpling. TruSculpt™ can be used on any area where fat deposits can accumulate, such as around the buttocks, thighs, love handles, back, or abdomen.

Non-Surgical Body Sculpting Options

While plastic surgery and surgical options used to be the only method of body sculpting used, lasers and new technologies are giving non-surgical, no downtime time options to men and women.  In the 1980's & 90's lipo-suction and tummy tucks reigned the supreme way to lose fat, inches, and tighten skin, but the 2000's have ushered in non-surgical procedures in a big way. 
At our Orlando medical spa Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center we have seen a surge in non-surgical body sculpting treatments in the last 5 years.
So what non-surgical body sculpting options are available?
One of the first treatments to the market was Syneron's Velashape, they now have Velashape I, II, and III to treat cellulite and tighten skin. available.  Velashape technology utilizes bi-polar radio frequency, it treats the deeper tissue, offering a measurable reduction in fat layers, circumference and the upper layers of the skin, resulting in cellulite reduction, the smoothing of the skin’s tone and texture, inches lost, and noticeable reshaping of the treated area in 5-6 treatments. Usually, an infrared thermometer is used to ensure your body heats up to 104 degrees-the temperature it takes to melt fat. Most people describe the treatments as feeling like a warm deep tissue massage. The Velashape II is 20% more powerful than its predecessor Velashape I giving you shorter treatments, with better, longer lasting results in fewer treatments. This treatment has no discomfort, is non-invasive and requires no down-time.
There are now three non-surgical procedures on the market that offer permanent fat reduction and are a great non-surgical alternative to lipo-suction.  They are Zeltiq® (cool-sculpting), Liposonix®, and TruSculpt™.
TruSculpt™ is the first RF Non-invasive procedure to give permanent surgical type results, previously only available through cosmetic surgery. Using radio frequencies, the practitioner deep-heats tissue over large areas of the body. The raised heat temperature stimulates cells, targeting areas of fat, and creates apoptosis or slow fat cell death. The fat eliminating process begins with the truSculpt treatment, but once activated it continues on its own for In only 2 treatments on average, patients can quickly see permanent results in their appearance, such as smaller mass, tighter skin and less dimpling. TruSculpt™ can be used on any area where fat deposits can accumulate, such as the neck (“turkey neck”), under the arms, around the buttocks, thighs, love handles, back, or abdomen.

New Year Beauty Resolutions for 2013

In our Orlando Medical Spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center we have the opportunity every January to help women and men become more confident about themselves through non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Here are the top 3 treatments requested every January for New Year's Resolutions. #1 REMOVE EX'S NAME OR BAD IDEA (TATTOO) LASER TATTOO REMOVAL CAN HELP TO COMPLETELY REMOVE A BAD TATTOO ON ANY AREA OF YOUR BODY! The NaturaLase QS is the highest energy q-switched system in the world. Take advantage of four Q-switched wavelengths in one system (1064, 532, 585 and 650 nm). Tattoo ink is removed by using specific wavelengths of light which pass into the skin, and is absorbed by the ink. A given wavelength targets only a single color (or a group of nearby colors). For example, the red wavelength removes the green ink and the green wavelength removes the red ink. The rapid absorption of the light energy (shock wave) causes the tattoo ink to break into tiny particles which can then be removed by the body’s natural filtering systems often referred to as the body’s lymphatic drainage system. Complete Numbing of the treatment area using Lidocaine injections is an available option for a painless procedure. #2 GET IN SHAPE! Velashape II can help you to lose inches, tighten skin & remove cellulite from abdomen, thighs & buttocks! VelaShape II™is Powered by the revolutionary elos™ Technology utilizing bi-polar radio frequency, it treats the deeper tissue, offering a measurable reduction in fat layers, circumference and the upper layers of the skin, resulting in cellulite reduction, the smoothing of the skin’s tone and texture, inches lost, and noticeable reshaping of the treated area in 5-6 treatments. W #3 Stop Shaving! Remove unwanted hair & throw out razors with laser hair removal! Laser hair removal works by directing concentrated pulses of light to a group of hair follicles, using enough power to disable or destroy the root responsible for hair growth without harming the surrounding skin. It requires an average of 6-7 treatments to give you amazing results. Treatments are once every 4-7 weeks as hair growth cycles differ on various body parts and requires no down-time. After just one treatment you will see an immediate improvement. For more information go to www.winterparklaser.com

Get Bikini Body Ready with Velashape II

Exercising all fall and winter doesn't guarantee a "jiggle free" bikini body for summer; in fact exercise and diet are clinically proven to not improve cellulite. Fortunately, when your personal trainer can't get rid of the difficult "saddle bags", there's a new clinically proven, FDA-approved & cleared non-surgical solution for reducing the look of cellulite, sculpting the body, shrinking love handles and inches all over-Velashape. While Velasmooth and Velashape have been out for a few years, the Velashape II launched about one year ago and is the most powerful weapon against cellulite now on the market.
VelaShape II uses a combination of light and bipolar radio frequency energies to heat the superficial and subcutaneous fat tissue that contributes to cellulite and fatty deposits, triggering the cells to shrink. By using mechanical rollers and vacuum suction increase circulation and massages skin for a smoother look. Within fiveto six weekly treatments thighs, abdomens, and buttocks are smoother, smaller and dimple free. VelaShape II can also be used on arms in some cases. The Velashape II is 20% stronger for a better result with fewer treatments. An infrared thermometer should be used during treatment to ensure that the body heats up to 104 degrees-the temperature necessary to melt & shrink fat cells.

The best things about this new procedure is that there's no down time and it feels similar to a warm deep tissue massage. You can continue to work out before, during and after treatments. Hollywood celebrities like Christina Milian, Ashley Jones, and Tatiana Ali are tweeting about there love for VelaShape. Reality star Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Atlanta Housewife Kim Zolciak have used VelaShape while filming their shows. For more information on treatments go to www.winterparklaser.com

How to Resolve Common Male Body Issues

Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center has been treating patients with medical spa cosmetic treatments for nearly 8 years and has noticed that men sometimes have just as many body issues as women do. Fortunately, there are non-surgical options to solve these body issues.

One major issue that bothers men is excess body hair-many times on the back, chest, or arms. Laser Hair Removal is a great and quick way to rid excess hair within 6 treatments and is a more long term solution than waxing or shaving.

Another issue that often bothers men is "love handles" or excess fat around their abdoment that they can not remove through exercise or diet. Velashape II is an amazing non-invasive approach that melts the fat through infrared light, tightens the skin and helps the body to lose inches and rid the fat through the lymphatic system with only five to ten treatments on average.

Stretchmarks are often a common insecurity for men just as much as they are for women. Many men get them from weight gains, weight loss, or weight-lifting. Palomar 1540 Fractional Laser Resurfacing is the only laser currently FDA approved to remove stretchmarks through a series of four treatments that resurface the skin providing new elastyn, collagen and tissue to permanently remove or reduce unwanted stretchmarks.

Our society is not becoming much more acceptable to men receiving cosmetic treatments as they are to women. Winter Park Laser offers complimentary skin analyses and consultations for men and women struggling with body issues.
Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center is located at 1215 W. Fairbanks Ave. Orlando FL 32804 and is medically supervised by plastic surgeon James F. Farrell M.D.

Velashape Voted #1 for Cellulite Reduction

2009 Reader's Choice - Top 5 Cellulite Reduction Procedures
Thursday, December 31, 2009 10:31 PM

Cellulite doesn't have to be an insurmountable challenge anymore. There are several treatments available to minimize the appearance of cellulite; here are our readers' top 5.

Cellulite is somewhere near the very top of every woman's most hated list. The skin dimpling affects women at all sizes, even the very small. It is caused by inconsistencies in the texture of the fat under the skin and affects women more often than men. There are creams available that claim to help smooth the skin, but most physicians agree that they aren't very helpful and a more aggressive treatment is needed to truly smooth out those cottage cheese thighs.



1 - VelaShape: VelaShape from Syneron uses a combination of Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Infrared Light - plus tissue mobilization combined with suction to reduce the appearance of cellulite and re-contour the body. Multiple treatments are needed to achieve optimum results but there is no downtime and treatment generally takes about 30 minutes. It is an FDA approved device and has been shown to also provide circumferential reduction.
