CLAIM YOUR PROFILEFractora is an excellent treatment for acne scars on your face. The deep heating rebuilds collagen under the scar and lifts it. The procedure is FDA cleared (indicated) for treating acne scars. One small study showed up to a 90% improvement in the depth of the acne scars. Only your physician can determine if Fractora is right for you. Find a qualified Fractora provider and schedule a consultation appointment for evaluation of your acne scars and discuss the results they expect you would see. For acne scars additional treatments are usually recommended to get the best results.
Good luck!

Fractora treatments are typically spaced 4 weeks apart when performing the series to allow the skin to heal in between treatments. Ultherapy treatments are not the same but similar in that heat is used to denature the collagen and invoke a healing response in the skin to rebuild new collagen.
Full healing after one procedure is always recommended before performing another procedure in the same area.
It's interesting that you are doing both Ultherapy and Fractora so often. Both procedures because they work with the body rebuilding collagen from a controlled heat injury take 6 months to see your full results.
We find most patients that are good candidates for non-invasive treatments are satisfied with the results they see after one treatment with Ultherapy or one series with Fractora. If you are needing this many procedures to see results, could you possibly be a better candidate for surgery?
Additional maintenance treatments with Ultherapy and Fractora are recommended and another series can be performed to get even better results. I'm just a bit surprised that you are doing repeat procedures as often as you are.

This is absolutely normal and typically subsides within just a few days after the procedure. Elevation of your head while you sleep will minimize this as well as using ice packs after your procedure. If you are doing a series of Fractora treatments make sure you remind your treatment provider that this occurred on your last treatment.
As long as the swelling subsided quickly, no changes to your treatment would be recommended.
The thinner skin around the eyes tends to show more swelling in the first few days after any procedure. Your goal is results and the swelling is just part of the process of injury and healing of the skin layers from Fractora

There are so many non surgical options available that will help rejuvenate your skin and improve your youthful look. What you need should be customized to you and what changes you are seeing. Chemical peels can help give you a fresher skin appearance and reduce some of the fine lines. Botox can lift brows and reduce even deeper wrinkles on the face, forehead and crows feet around the eyes. Fillers like Juvederm can fill in areas where fat loss or drooping is occurring. A more filled look is more youthful and a little fillers can make a big difference in some people.
There are other energy based procedures that can rejuvenate the skin and actually rebuild more collagen in the deeper layers of the skin. Ultherapy with Ultrasound, Fractora with radio frequency and laser resurfacing can lift and tighten your skin, lasers and Fractora also have the benefit of improving discoloration both brown and red spots and small blood vessels and reducing pore size if these are also issues you have.
A consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon that performs many different procedures including fillers and energy based procedures will give you the recommendations that are best for you specifically.

Consider Fractora for reducing the size of your pores and treating the acne scars all at the same time. A series of 3 or 4 treatments is performed that are minimally invasive using just needles to deliver radio frequency energy beneath the skin. The needle injury and the radio frequency energy both cause your skin to repair itself and build new collagen which will tighten and fill the depressed scars from your acne.
Acne scars on the face can affect your confidence in the way you look. There are good solutions to help you. Visit a board certified facial plastic surgeon for a consultation to determine the best solution for your skin.
Good luck

Congratulations on doing so much to take care of your skin over the years. As you age you will continue to notice the benefits of what you've already done.
Without surgery, there are options to tighten skin laxity (loose skin). We use Fractora RF as well as other Radiofrequency treatments and laser treatments that can rejuvenate collagen and give you skin tightening. None of these procedures will give you the results of a facelift and will require maintenance treatments to keep your results as you continue to age.
Whatever you decide to do continue taking care of your skin with the sunscreen and medical grade skin care line you are using.

Based on your photos you posted, you are not too fat for a CoolSculpting treatment. You can expect to need multiple applicator placements for full coverage of the entire abdomen. You will get a modest reduction with the first treatment but can expect to need an additional treatment in each area on your abdomen after 3 months have passed to get even more reduction.
The thicker the fat layer the more likely you will need an additional treatment to get the results you want.
Good luck.

There is no contraindication to performing CoolSculpting on a part of your body with a mole. CoolSculpting does not affect the skin, only the fat.
There are no reported cases of complications on a mole after CoolSculpting treatment.

It appears that your liposuction was to the outer thigh area and the results look really great. I would start by asking the surgeon that performed the surgery if the banana roll area was treated at all with liposuction. It appears to be similar in size and shape to the before photo.
If this area was not treated with liposuction then it's most likely not a significant amount of swelling and just the fat that was there previously.
CoolSculpting the banana roll under the butt is a very effective way to reduce this roll. Based on the thickness showing in the photo you would most likely need more than one CoolSculpting treatment to get full reduction. Talk to a qualified CoolSculpting expert after you've spoken to your surgeon (if your surgeon doesn't offer CoolSculpting too).
Good luck

The CoolMini CoolSculpting applicator is a great fit for treating fat pockets above the knees. The size of the applicator makes it a perfect fit in most people to treat this area. From what we've seen treating knees typically takes 2 sessions to get the fat pockets fully reduced so don't be surprised if that is recommended on you when you get your CoolSculpting consultation.
Good Luck

I’ve been researching the procedure for a while, wasn’t sure I wanted/needed to go this aggressive yet, but after my research and the consult, booked my procedure. Pre and post instructions were very clear. One thing I added for myself was drinking plenty of water in the weeks leading up to the procedure. The day of the procedure itself went smoothly. My areas of concern were mainly my eyes and forehead so Dr Sinha went most aggressively there and he goes right up to the lash line (w eye shields of course). There were definitely some uncomfortable spots for the laser (specifically around my lips) and the assistant kept blowing the cooling air up my nose which was annoying but not a huge deal. It went quickly and both the nurse and the physician ensured I had and understood my post care instructions as well. Additionally the staff at the office is always very kind and accommodating.
I highly recommend Dr. Sinha and his incredible staff if you're looking for the absolute best plastic surgery/ ENT team. Dr. Sinha fixed all the problems I was having with my nose for me and I could not have asked for a more perfect outcome. Not only are the results exactly what I had hoped but his entire team was amazing. The whole process was seamless from start to finish. Thank you so much Dr. Sinha!!!
Dr Sinha is always fantastic at being precise, conservative, respectful of my budget, and he has such an exacting eye that always impresses me. For example, he balanced my lip filler so my uneven lips were centered over my 4 front teeth. He has also helped me with long term goals to combat aging.
I have been to the same doctor for 10 years. I tried Dr. Sinha at an event. His injections were on point. He showed attention to detail on what I was looking for. His bedside manner is impeccable. His staff also followed up with me to make sure I had gotten what I expected. Touch ups were offered at no additional cost although I didn't need any.
With the help of this procedure my sleep apnea and blood pressure is controlled and monitored. Dr Sinha diagnosed the issue and recommended to use CPAP. This took me some initial time to get used to it. However, I noticed the difference and sleep improvement with only week's use. I would highly recommend Dr Pradeep Sinha for anyone who has sleep apnea issue.
I wanted to freeze the aging process, and minimize lines around my eyes and forehead. It was very important to me that the result looked natural and age appropriate. I was also concerned about pain. I wanted the provider I selected to have many years of experience with injectables, so this was also a factor in my decision making process.
The reason for the procedure was to have my eyes to stand My goal is to have them look refreshed and not tired. The staff is always professional and friendly. Dr. Sinha always makes you feel self-assured and relaxed not to mention he is the best in the country. I would trust Dr. Sinha to perform any procedure.
Had always been confident in my looks except for my nose. I have always secretly wanted to get it fixed but never had the nerve (or the money). I graduated college and got a great job and thought the time was right. I researched plastic surgeons almost obsessively for one plastic surgery and found Dr Sinha. His name kept coming up wherever I looked so I went for a consult. Everything about the office was perfect from the office, the staff, the time he spent with me, just everything. Had my surgery a few months ago and not I cannot help but admire what used to cause me so much grief. I appreciate the whole experience from start to finish.
I know its too early to review and ill keep updating it. But working with Dr Sinha is a delight. He is a very soft spoken and kind gentleman who listens to everything you have to say. He recommended my for a Sinus surgery in his office - It went very smooth. All his staff was super professional and caring at the same time! One day post surgery I feel amazing.. Will keep you all updated. Will post more in 2 weeks on the improvements of the surgery.
knowledeable, excellent photos during consult, good result.
