A Vitalize Peel is a superficial peel that I find is great for patients with acne, acne with hyperpigmentation or mild scarring left behind from previous acne, and general hyperpigmentation from either sun damage, previous inflammation, or melasma. &nbsp;The best thing about this peel is that it can be safely used in experienced hands on all skin types. &nbsp;The peel is applied in 3 steps. &nbsp;The first step is a prepping solution which is alcohol/acetone based which is similar to most peels. &nbsp;The second step is the peeling solution which contains Salicyclic Acid, Resorcinol and Lactic Acid. &nbsp;The final step is a layer of&nbsp;Retinol. &nbsp;The strength of the peel can be altered by additional coats of step 2, so it is best to see a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to see if this peel is right for you.

	The reason this peel may not be that common is that is it a "branded" peel and these tend to be more expensive to the physician. &nbsp;We continue to perform it because I love the results and so do our patients. It is the most popular peel with our staff (they are always asking me to treat them with it) and I have frequently done it on myself to brighten up my skin. &nbsp;Best of luck!

I only recently heard about this kind of peel and it doesn&#39;t seem very common; any reason for that?

What is in a Vitalize Peel and What Do You Recommend It For?

I see no reason why a chemical peel and Restylane (or any other filler) cannot be done at the same visit. I frequently do this for patients to not inconvenience them with multiple visits. It depends on what type of peel I am performing as to which order the treatments are done during the visit, but one does not interfere with the other. &nbsp;This also allows patients to recover from both at the same time which decreases "down-time". &nbsp;Best of luck!

Waiting Period Between Chemical Peel and Restylane?

The answer to your question really depends on your anatomy and your "bulge" (the actual fat you would like to treat). &nbsp;I have had many patients that we were able to "fit" both the upper and lower abdomen into the larger applicator, and others that it was impossible to do so and they required separate treatments to each affected area. &nbsp;There have been many cases where we have used combinations of the small and large applicators to get the best results. We customize our treatments specifically to what we see during the consultation so discuss it with your physician and she/he should be able to guide you as to what would give you the best results. Most patients see 20-25% improvement with each treatment. Good luck!

I think my question is self explanatory. My doctor charges $1500 for first cool sculpting treatment and $1200-1400 for a second cool sculpting treatment. So I'm wondering if I can do the upper and lower belly at same time (and hopefully if done at the same time I wont be charged twice as much), and can return for the second round and do the same thing, otherwise I'm looking at close to $6,000 and from what I have seen and heard, it's not worth that much money.

Can Cool Sculpting Be Done on Fat Above AND Below Belly Button at Same Time Using the Larger Suction Mechanisms?

Fraxel helps restore your skin and give it a more youthful appearance. In addition, it will soften fine lines and wrinkles. &nbsp;Fraxel is also very effective for the treatment of Acne scars, and can be used to diminish other types of scarring on the face or body. &nbsp;We have recently been doing Fraxel with great success on the hands to rejuvenate the skin and to give them a more youthful appearance appearance.

	We recommend 5 treatments for the face, and usually at least 3 for the hands and other scars on the body.

Can you tell me more about the benefits you can get from Fraxel laser resurfacing? What sort of skin problems get the best results from Fraxel?

What benefits can you get from Fraxel Laser treatment?

Both treatments are noninvasive, although Lipolysis is reportedly much ore painful. I think the mistake a lot of patients are making is assuming that both of these treatments have the same benefits regardless of the area being treated and the amount of fat in that area. &nbsp; It is important to recognize that Coolsculpting is great for treating larger fat deposits. &nbsp;If you can grab a handful of fat, you generally will benefit much more from Coolsculpting. If you can only pinch an inch, and the skin is tight and can&#39;t be sucked into the Coolsculpting applicator, you might be better off doing Lipolysis.

	Coolsculpting can be done on the abdomen, love handles, and back. &nbsp;Lipolysis is normally done on the abdomen and love handles.

	Price point is comparable. &nbsp;Results may be seen sooner in Coolsculpting, in 4-6 weeks where as Lipolysis takes 3-6 months.

	&nbsp;

I have heard about zeltiq (CoolSculpting) alot but i wonder how is the end result compare to any laser lipolysis? dont tell me one is invasive n noninvasive, someone told me cryolipolysis result is almost same with laser lipolysis, is it true?

CoolSculpting Vs Laser Lipolysis

As far as the price it will depend on the size of the applicator. The larger applicator which is commonly used for the abdominal area is $1,250 and the small and medium applicators which are commonly used for the love handles, back and bra fat is $650 per side. We offer free consultations at our office with our P.A., who has extensive experience with Coolsculpting and has spoken at international medical meetings regarding Coolsculpting. &nbsp;During your free consultation you will receive a full treatment plan, which will include price.

How Much Does CoolSculpting by Zeltiq Cost?

While some people claim to see results in as soon as 3 weeks, it normally takes eight weeks to see measurable results.

Could the full results take as long as 4 months to see? Why?

How Soon After Having Coolsculpting Are Measurable Results Seen?

Itching is the symptom experienced by some patients due to the inflammation caused by the fat cells breaking down and being eliminated by the body. It commonly resolves after 2 weeks but can last longer. &nbsp;You should not have any skin changes or a rash. &nbsp;If you are concerned you should contact your doctor. There are some treatments that can help with these symptoms if the persist.

I did the procedure on my lower and upper abdomen 3 weeks ago. Still painful and itchy, is it common? Please help.

I did it to look more youthful and prettier, and it definitely works. Dr. Lazarus makes me feel comfortable about asking questions, gives me solid professional advice and takes time with me so I feel comfortable with the options and choices. And best of all, I look so much better. Totally worth every penny.
