Zero Downtime
Many things say they have no downtime, but my fragile skin always needs 2-6 days to recover from any procedure. This was an amazing experience with no downtime. I left the office, barely pink and i was back the work in a few hours
Extremely picky about my doctors - I am most definitely referring everyone I know
New patient... I have been in the medical field on and off for about 10 years now, including working for two extremely prestigious Plastic Surgeons in the Washington DC metro area. (One of which came from North Hollywood). I was introduced to Botox at about 22 years old while working with these two Doctors and LOVED IT! OMG it’s amazing!As well as laser hair removal and CoolSculpting. Be...

$480 Facelift
I went to the Laser Skin Surgery Center for filler to get rid of those mean old lady vertical lines around my mouth. Dr. Kilmer convinced me to try Botox around my mouth, neck and jawline instead of filler. I was very skeptical, but reluctantly gave it a try. Well, two weeks later it looks like I have had a mini-face lift on the lower part of my face. I couldn't be happier with the result. The...

100 Q&A
A: Four Emsculpt treatments in about 2 weeks and at least 2 days apart is recommended for the abdomen. Then maintenance treatments about every 2-3 months although going longer or shorter (because some people love it so much!) is ok. More studies are being done for the best timing on maintenance treatments.
A: Great question! Arms are a common request! And, yes, the company is working on better applicators for different sized areas. Unfortunately, you cannot use the device over the chest or upper back. We are using the current applicator to do upper legs but only more experienced MDs with Emsculpt will be willing to try off label areas.
A: Emsculpt is a non-invasive procedure that efficiently builds muscle and burns fat in both men and women. Current body contouring procedures address fat and skin, whereas Emsculpt builds muscle and burns fat for improvement in the tone and shape of the abdomen or buttocks.
Emsculpt uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM®) technology to induce approximately 20,000 forced muscle contractions per session. These forced contractions, considered supramaximal contractions are not normally achievable through voluntary muscle action. Supramaximal contractions increase muscle growth and disrupt fat cells in the treated area. In clinical trials there was a 16% average increase in muscle mass and a 19% average fat reduction after treatment.
A:
I published an article that
demonstrated increased lip show with the use of botox – it works really well!
There is no problem doing both Botox and fillers together into the lips and, in
fact, we do it routinely as the reduced movement with the botox allows the
filler to last longer as it is not under as much pressure with puckering.
A:
You may lose some hair but the
hair removal lasers use a much longer pulse width so that they can better
destroy the hair follicle. The ultrashort pulse widths used to shatter the ink
and allow the tattoo to be removed are too short to permanently remove most
hairs but they can stun hair growth for several months .
