How Soon Can I Fly After Recieving a Vbeam Procedure?

I am considering to have a Vbeam procedure. I travel a lot for business so if I have a procedure done on a Friday would there be affects on my results or recovery if I fly on the Sunday after the procedure.

You can resume activities immediately after having V-beam Laser treatment. Most patients experience redness after the treatment, and according to what condition you are having treated, you could possibly experience bruising and swelling. Make sure that you wear sunscreen and follow all post-op instructions.

Does Endermologie Help Significantly After Liposuction?

I'm 5'5, young, with good Bmi and had a Brazilian butt lift 2 days ago. I gained weight for the procedure. An endermologist suggested me to have about 5 sessions with him. Do you think it's necessary and will it really help me heal faster? I don't have a lot of cellulites, just some lines accross the back of my legs. Also, I had lipo all over my body besides my calves. is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process and when should I start wearing stage 2 garment? Thank you!

Having Endermologie after liposuction does help tremendously. Endermologie is non-invasive and involves the use of motorized rollers which helps to reduce swollen tissue, cellulite reduction, and skin tightening. This procedure will help to eliminate excess fluid, and overall help to speed up recovery time from liposuction. Having this treatment post-operative should be discussed with your Doctor.

Is Lactic Peel the Mildest Peel? What's the Difference Between Lactic Acid Glycolic Peel?

i have some mild acne scars, sun spots and bigger pores. which one is better?

Lactic acid works best for drier skin, or those with sensitive skin because the penetration is slower. Glycolic is better for oily skin because it has a more drying nature. If you have a lot of scarring and sun spots the TCA peel is great for hyperpigmentation, scarring and uneven skin texture. I would suggest setting up an appointment with a medical professional in your area if you decide to go in this direction.
