How do you know if you are a good candidate for liposuction?

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

The best candidates are within 10-15 lbs of their ideal body weight.  They ideally have localized collections of fat that are easily identifiable and can be approached with liposuction.  You should have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction is a procedure meant to help sculpt the body in areas that have not responded to diet and exercise and does not serve as a weight-loss method.

How is Ultherapy different from Thermage? Which one is better?

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Ultherapy is a brand new category of treatment in aesthetics.  Like Thermage, it uses energy to tighten the skin but in this case ultrasound is used, which allows us to focus the energy where it is needed most.  Because of this precision, we are seeing great results, even to the point of the skin being lifted or shifted back into a more youthful position.
