How Long Do the Effects of Ultherapy Last?

If you want a facelift but dread the idea of going under the knife, then you might be interested to learn about a new kind of facelift. Ultherapy is a quick and painless non-invasive facelift that uses new technology recently approved by the FDA. For those in the Boston area, the experts at Finesse Cosmetic Laser and Lipo offer this treatment in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Curious about Ultherapy? Learn everything you need to know about this cutting-edge treatment before you schedule a visit at Finesse!

What Is Ultherapy?

You can think of this treatment as a facelift without chemicals and scalpels. This simple, 60-minute treatment lifts and tightens the skin on the face and neck areas without any need for extended recovery time. Overall, this treatment is gentle, non-invasive, and extremely effective for most patients. Plus, unlike other treatments, Ultherapy continues to work over time and there is less need for continued treatments. This treatment is basically a one-and-done sort of deal.

How Does It Work?

This treatment utilizes ultrasound technology to tighten and tone skin. By using a small specialized ultrasound wand, our expert technicians can see the layers of tissue beneath the skin surface during treatment. With a view like that, we can deliver the treatment to target areas or areas that need more attention so that the treatment is as effective as possible.

But the unique ultrasound view is only one part of the equation. This treatment also uses heat to stimulate blood flow and the production of new collagen. As you might know, collagen is the key to youthful, glowing skin, and the best way to stimulate collagen production is through the circulation of blood. As we age, we produce less collagen and the blood flow to our face is less productive. This treatment addresses both issues in one fell swoop, using heat to encourage both increased blood and the turnover of new collagen.

How Is It Different From Other Treatments?

Say good-bye more needles, lasers, chemicals, or other invasive and painful facelift procedures! This ultrasound treatment assists the natural processes of our bodies in order to tone skin for a more youthful appearance. But more importantly, this treatment doesn’t just treat superficial skin problems.

Ultherapy is revolutionary for more than one reason, but its most distinct benefit is the fact that this treatment addresses the real causes of skin aging. While lasers treat the upper surface layers of skin to deal with pigmentation and wrinkles, this special ultrasound treatment targets the deeper skin layers. These deep skin layers, or foundational layers, are where supports for skin – like collagen – are found. This therapy goes directly to the foundational layers to fix issues at the source, but without the invasiveness that cosmetic procedures typically use.

Does This Treatment Replace Cosmetic Surgery?

While different and more natural than facelifts done with cosmetic surgery, it is important to note that this treatment is not a replacement for traditional procedures. You can think of this treatment as an alternative and gentler option for those with moderate aging concerns. To be sure, cosmetic surgery facelifts show a more drastic result, but those kinds of procedures are also more risky, more complicated, and have more recovery time. With this treatment, you can attain a gradual, natural-looking lift without any downtime.

Is It Safe?

You would be right to assume that this treatment is safer than many other treatments that are currently available. As a general rule, non-invasive treatments are always going to be more comfortable and less risky than invasive procedures. However, with less risk comes less reward, which is why patients who undergo non-invasive treatments tend to come back for follow-up treatments. But this ultrasound treatment is a little different. While non-invasive, the sheer efficiency of this treatment means that follow-up appointments are few and far apart.

As to the safety of the treatment, it is a fact that medicine has been using ultrasound technology for over 50 years without any problems. Ultrasounds are low on radiation and do not cause any side effects, and this ultrasound facial lift treatment is the same. Additionally, this treatment has been approved by the FDA, after numerous clinical studies, as a safe, effective treatment.

Who Are Ideal Candidates?

The ideal candidate for this treatment is anyone who has found that their skin is less firm than they would like. As a broad stroke, candidates for this treatment might notice that they are developing fine lines, wrinkles, relaxed or loose skin, bags beneath the eyes, or noticeable thinness in the skin on their neck and decolletage area. This treatment is ideal for those who have moderate skin laxity.

There are no age limitations for this treatment. Even for those in their thirties, this treatment can be used to stay ahead and fight against early aging. This treatment can address many age-related concerns regardless of your actual age. After all, anti-aging treatments are for all aging populations.

Ideal candidates for this treatment also include those who do not want invasive cosmetic procedures or those who do not want other invasive facelift treatments. Compared to surgeries, lasers, and even Botox, this treatment is considerably more affordable and less physically taxing. This treatment is a good mid-way for those who want a lift without undergoing a costly and intense procedure.

Where Should You Concentrate the Treatment?

Concentrating this treatment on specific parts of the face, neck, and collarbone is done on a case-by-case basis. Depending on where signs of aging are showing and which parts of your skin you want to tighten, every patient can customize this treatment to fit their needs.

This treatment is perfect for…

  • Tightening brows
  • Lifting eyes
  • Toning chin and neck area
  • Improving fine lines and wrinkles

Often the first real signs of aging are around the eyes, with a lowered brow line, sagging eyelids, and crows feet. For eye-related aging concerns, this treatment can be used to target the delicate areas around the eye to tone the skin and return a youthful appearance. Another place where concentrating this treatment is a good idea is the area around the jaw and upper neck, where skin loosens with age. The jawline, cheeks, and neck are often major signs of aging, but they can be reversed or improved with the use of this ultrasound treatment.

Whether you have a single area of concern or many areas of concern, this treatment can effectively address each one in a single visit. A consultation prior to your treatment appointment will help you identify target areas and outline your specific treatment plan.

Can This Treatment Be Used Elsewhere?

This treatment is approved by the FDA to treat the face, neck, and chest area. However, some clinics have used this treatment to tighten skin in other areas of the body, such as underarms and in the abdomen. Using this treatment as a non-invasive tummy-tuck solution is common in other clinics. If you are interested in a non-invasive tummy-tuck solution at our office, we will be happy to discuss approved alternatives to help you meet your goals.

How Long Do the Effects of Ultherapy Last?

Depending on your body’s specific biological processes, response to this treatment can vary from patient to patient. Generally, the effects of this treatment last about 6 months or so, which is around the time when collagen production will return to its natural state and signs of aging will again become noticeable. For those with moderate signs of aging, this treatment can last between 4 to 6 months, while those with mild aging see effects for 6 months or more.

The length of this treatment’s effectiveness depends on how the body responds to the treatment. The slowing production of collagen is determined by your genetics and overall response to the treatment. Generally, the treatment effects last a bit longer for those whose collagen production has not drastically slowed down.

How Quick Are Results?

You can see the results of this treatment on the same day of your appointment. The immediate visual signs of the treatment include tightened skin and a rosy, glowing complexion. However, this treatment really hits its stride between 2 and 3 months following your appointment, where the collagen production is at its height. This treatment shows results from the first day and continues to lift and tighten over time, or until the stimulated collagen production naturally slows again.

Do You Need Multiple Treatments?

For most patients, a single appointment will be effective to fight against signs of aging for at least 6 months. There is usually no need for additional appointments immediately following the first treatment. For most patients, it is enough to receive another treatment after the effects of the first wear off, which typically means at least two treatments a year.

However, if the skin laxity is more severe, or if there are multiple significant target areas, it is possible that your technician will advise you to group two treatments together for more robust effectiveness. Determining whether you need multiple treatments within a single time frame will be determined during the outlining of your treatment plan.

How Long Does the Treatment Take?

The length of time to perform this treatment depends on the amount of area that is being addressed, but most treatments can be done in as little as an hour. For partial treatments on the face, appointments can take around 30 minutes or less to complete. For full face and neck treatments, the appointment can take from 45 to 60 minutes. This is a treatment that can be done during a lunch hour or between errands.

What Is Recovery Time?

Recovery time for this treatment is very short – near non-existent, in fact. There is no downtime associated with this treatment. Some patients find that they experience some slight redness, tingling, or tenderness in the hours immediately following the treatment, but these side-effects are temporary and go away on their own.

While some patients are able to return to their normal daily activities following the treatment, others take a day off and return to their normal activity level the following day. Outside of the time necessary for the temporary side effects to subsist, there is no prolonged recovery time or limitations following this treatment.

Start Over with Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoos are great, provided you like them. For one reason or another, you may decide that the tattoo you’ve had for years was not such a good idea. Rather than spending time trying to figure out how to hide it, why not consider laser tattoo removal? If any of these situations applies to you, then laser tattoo removal will most likely be the answer.

You Regret the Impulse

Getting the tattoo was done on the spur of the moment. You really didn’t think the whole thing through or even pay that much attention to the design. Basically, you walked into a parlor, chose the first design that caught your eye, and had the work done. That’s fine, except you are now regretting the impulse. Laser tattoo removal will help you move past the regret. Once the tattoo is history, you won’t have to see it every time you look in a full-length mirror.

The Design Wasn’t That Great After All

What looked like a great design at three in the morning doesn’t seem so wonderful in the light of day. Along with not being that happy with the design, the artist who did the work was more of an amateur than a professional. The result is a tattoo that you’d rather not have others see. Undo the mistake with the aid of laser tattoo removal.

The Tattoo is a Reminder of Something You’d Rather Forget

Being the sentimental type, you got a tattoo that included the name of the person you were sure would be your life partner forever. Things didn’t turn out that way, and you’re left with a constant reminder of a chapter in your life that you’d rather forget. Laser tattoo removal will get rid of the reminder while you work on moving on from the relationship.

It’s Not Representative of Where You are Today

When you got the tattoo, you had a certain plan for your life. Along the way, your direction changed. Thanks to laser tattoo removal, it’s possible to put that tattoo away along with other remnants of your past.

Is Ultherapy Right for Me?

Ultherapy® harnesses the power of ultrasound to transform different areas of your face and body. Ultrasound is safe and effective and has been around for over fifty years. Ultherapy® has been proven effective and could be perfect for you.

What is Ultherapy® and Why is It Different?

Ultherapy® is the only non-invasive procedure cleared by the FDA to lift the skin on the neck, under the chin, and in the eyebrow area. It has also been FDA-cleared to treat the area of the decolletage. Ultherapy® can be the procedure you are looking for when you want to freshen up your look from your eyebrows to your chest.

Ultherapy® is also unique because it is the only cosmetic procedure that uses ultrasound imaging. This allows the professional to see the layers of tissue being targeted to make sure that the energy will be deposited where it will provide the most benefits.

How Does It Work?

Ultherapy® is entirely non-surgical. It bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver the precise amount of ultrasound energy to the right depths of tissue and at the right temperature. The energy activates a natural response under the skin, stimulating collagen production without cutting or disrupting the skin. With no downtime required, Ultherapy® will start working as soon as it is applied and will keep on improving as the days and weeks go by and more collagen is produced.

What are the Results?

As with any cosmetic procedure, results depend on the individual and on the condition of the skin to be treated. And although many patients report immediate improvements, it is after the passage of weeks to months that you will really see the difference.That is when the body will have had time to produce the desired collagen. While the treatment will not replicate the results of a facelift, it is a clinically proven non-invasive treatment when you are not yet ready for surgery. In some cases, it is also used to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.

How Long Does the Treatment Take?

The length of the treatment depends on the size of the area being treated as well as your individual treatment plan.

At Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center, we can work with you to find the treatment that will work best for your wants and needs. Contact us today to schedule an initial consultation at our office in Waltham. We look forward to hearing from you!

Are You an Ideal Candidate for CoolSculpting in Waltham?

We all want that perfect body, but sometimes we can’t achieve it through a healthy diet and strict exercise regimen alone. That is where the experts at Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center come in. To determine if you are an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting® in Waltham, contact us.

Since CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical fat removal method, it is ideal for nearly everyone. Let’s take a closer look to determine if this treatment option is right for you.

You are Near Your Target Weight

Adults cannot produce new fat cells. This means all fat removal methods are permanent. However, it is not a weight loss treatment. Multiple treatments will help you lose more fat in your target area, but it will not help you lose 20 or 30 pounds. If you want CoolSculpting® but still have some weight to lose, ask a doctor to help you with a weight loss plan to help you achieve your target weight.

You’re Unhappy with Stubborn Fat

Fat is tricky because you have no control over where you lose fat; thus, you may have stubborn fat on certain places. CoolSculpting® in Waltham is perfect for people at a healthy body weight who have resistant pockets of fat they want to treat.

You are Not Pregnant or Thinking About Getting Pregnant

Studies have not yet been done to determine how, if at all, CoolSculpting® affects a fetus. Furthermore, pregnancy causes many changes to a woman’s body. You may find your lower abdomen accumulates extra fat deposits throughout your pregnancy. As a result, if you opt for CoolSculpting® for your stomach, your results may not be visible after you give birth. It’s much better to get the treatment done after you are done having children.

You Do Not Want Liposuction

People often speak to a plastic surgeon and determine liposuction is not right for them. Maybe it is the recovery period. Maybe it is the thought of surgery. And some don’t qualify for surgery. CoolSculpting® in Waltham is right for people who want a completely non-invasive treatment method without any general or local anesthesia involved.

You Understand How the Treatment Works

The ideal candidate for CoolSculpting® understands how the treatment works, has realistic expectations and a positive outlook, and is in good general health. During your initial consultation, we will tell you everything you need to know about CoolSculpting® so you can decide if this fat removal treatment is right for you.

Discover the Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers have become extremely popular in recent years because they offer a treatment choice that significantly enhances the appearance of skin without the need for surgery or any extensive downtime. But before undergoing any type of cosmetic treatment, you will need some good information to help steer you in the right direction.

Sometimes known as the liquid facelift, dermal fillers are a treatment choice that is appropriate for almost anyone dealing with fine lines and wrinkles or hollow areas on the face. They consist of gels containing various substances that are injected to promote increased skin thickness as a way of minimizing lines and wrinkles.

Restylane®

Restylane® is a type of hyaluronic acid filler that is quite effective at smoothing out lines and wrinkles on the face. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that will draw moisture into your skin for a plumping and volumizing effect.

Juvederm®

Like Restylane®, Juvederm® has hyaluronic acid as its main ingredient. It also contains lidocaine to ensure patient comfort during the entire process. Juvederm® is very easy on the skin because it consists of a very silky-smooth gel.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are an excellent treatment choice for those who do not currently require cosmetic surgery or wish to extend the effects of previous surgery. It is also good for those who want to prevent the early development of lines and wrinkles.

One of the main benefits of fillers is their ability to offer significant results with little to no downtime. This means that you can go right back to work or your daily life immediately after your quick treatment.

Another benefit of fillers is that, properly administered, they offer results that are soft and natural. In most cases, we are utilizing substances that are virtually identical to naturally-occurring substances produced by your own body. We are just supplementing things like hyaluronic acid because your body produces less of these substances as you grow older.

Your Results

The length of time that your results will last depends upon the product that you are treated with. Generally, dermal fillers offer results that are long-lasting, with many lasting up to a year or more before additional injections are required.

Could You Benefit from Breast Augmentation?

If you are unsatisfied with your figure, then you can enhance your overall body contour with cosmetic procedures. Many women in the Waltham area choose to undergo breast augmentation for a fuller and more appealing chest contour. While some women choose to have breast augmentation for more fullness, there are others who have the procedure to fix uneven breasts or correct other conditions. If you are thinking about getting this procedure, then it can be helpful to understand what the procedure entails.

Before the surgery, you will need to choose the size, shape, and material of your implants. The materials that are used for implants include:

Saline: Saline breast implants are made with sterile salt water. This type of implant offers an even shape and uniform firmness and feel. There are times when saline implants can be inserted when they are deflated, which means there will typically be less scarring.

Structured Saline: This type of implant is made with sterile salt water but has an inner structure that makes the implant feel more natural. Structured saline and saline implants come in a variety of sizes that typically range form 150 cc to 850 cc.

Silicone: Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel. Silicone implants look and feel natural.

Gummy Bear Implants: These are so-called because their texture is similar to a gummy bear. They have a very natural look and feel.

There are three variations of implants: round, smooth, and textured. With round implants, the breasts look fuller than form-stable breast implants. These implants are the same shape all over, which means they are less likely to move out of place. Smooth breast implants can move within the breast implant pocket and tend to be the softest-feeling. These implants offer more natural movement than form-stable implants. With textured implants, scar tissue will form around the implant to help keep them stable. Textured implants are beneficial because they can reduce the risk of capsular contraction.

Who are Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation?

Good candidates for breast augmentation will be in good general health, and it is also important that you have realistic outcomes about the procedure and results. Here are some other factors that may make you an ideal candidate for breast augmentation:

  • Your breasts are fully developed.
  • Your breasts are losing volume.
  • You have asymmetrical breasts.
  • You are dissatisfied with the size of your breasts.

You should keep in mind that while breast augmentation creates more fullness, it will not lift the breasts. If you have sagging breasts, then a breast lift with breast augmentation may offer the best results. Or you may only need a breast lift procedure to achieve the results you desire.

What is the Procedure Like?

To prepare for breast augmentation, you will need to have a medical evaluation and undergo other tests. You may need to adjust your current medications until recovery is complete. For instance, it is important to avoid any anti-inflammatory medications and certain herbal supplements for a set amount of time before the procedure. We will discuss in detail your medical history and current medications during your consultation with us to ensure that you are completely prepared for the procedure.

Breast augmentations can be administered at a hospital or outpatient surgical center. It is important to arrange for a ride home once you are done at the facility. You will be given medication to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Breast implants are administered under anesthesia.

There are different common incisions that are used for breast augmentation, which include transaxillary, periareolar, inframammary, and transumbilical. With the transaxillary technique, a small incision is made at the crease of the armpit. This is an ideal technique for women who have not previously had breast augmentation. The transaxillary approach is also suitable for women who don’t need a breast lift, and it may be the best option for those who want saline implants. With this approach, you won’t have as much, if any, visible scarring on the breasts. If you plan to breastfeed, this approach won’t cause any complications when the time comes.

The periareolar incision is made at the edge of the nipple (areolar). The central location of the incisions allows for easy placement of the implants, and the incisions are very small so scarring is nearly invisible.

The inframammary incision has numerous advantages as well. This technique, which is often referred to as the crease incision, is the most common technique that is used with breast augmentation. The incision is made under the crease of the breast where the chest wall and breast meet. This technique is so popular because women with moderate volume can still easily conceal the scarring. Like the transaxillary approach, this technique will not affect breastfeeding in the future.

With the transumbilical technique, an incision is made in the belly button or navel. With a specialized instrument, a tunnel will be created to move the implants up to the breasts. Although this technique offers minimal scarring, recovery time with this technique will be a bit longer than the aforementioned approaches.

This is just a general overview. We understand that each patient has different needs, so we will discuss the various incision options we have available and help you determine which is best for your needs.

Placement of the implant will also help determine which type of incision will be used. Once the incision is made, the implant will be inserted above the chest muscle or directly behind the pectoral muscles. If you have saggy breasts, you may benefit from having the implants placed under the breast muscles. If your breasts are smaller with less tissue, then having the implants placed over the chest muscles may be a better option for your needs.

You might have heard about the option of having a fat transfer for breast enhancement. While a fat transfer to the breasts uses your own tissue, it is best for those who want a subtle enhancement. Moreover, a fat transfer to the breast is not an option for some women who don’t have enough fat for removal and transferring.

Recovery and Aftercare Following Surgery

Proper recovery and aftercare are vital for optimal results, which is why it is necessary to follow all the postoperative instructions that we give you after the procedure. During recovery, your breasts will be wrapped in a special dressing, and you will most likely need to wear a compression bra to minimize swelling and promote healing.

Immediately following the procedure, you will be monitored for a short time until you are free to leave our facility. You may be given a prescription that helps prevent any issues at the treatment sites. It is important to refrain from swimming pools, hot tubs, or baths for a set amount of time after the procedure.

While many women are ready to return to work and their normal activities fairly soon after the procedure, it is important to avoid strenuous activities that can cause an increase in your blood pressure or pulse. To help speed up your recovery, you should try to get plenty of rest following the procedure. Having someone stay with you for a few days can be extremely beneficial for the recovery. While it is important that you wear your compression bra as long as recommended, avoid underwire bras completely because they can affect the position of the implant.

You should notice the final results of the procedure in time when all of the swelling has subsided. After breast augmentation, many women have improved self-confidence. Many women choose to undergo other cosmetic procedures in conjunction with breast augmentation to further enhance their overall body shape. Popular procedures that are carried out with breast enhancement include liposuction, a tummy tuck, and a breast lift. Cosmetic surgery is highly specialized to meet the needs of each patient, and with breast augmentation, you can choose from a number of additional procedures to give you the body that you desire.

Breast implants offer lasting results. A fat transfer to the breasts is long-lasting, but if you choose this technique, then you may eventually need another procedure to maintain the results. That’s why we are proud to offer breast enhancement using various implant options.

What is VelaShape and How Does It Work?

VelaShape is the latest innovation in the world of non-invasive cosmetic procedures. This body contouring treatment utilizes radiofrequency energy, laser energy, and other technologies to sculpt the body. The result is a trimmer and slimmer figure.

What is VelaShape?

VelaShape is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses bipolar radiofrequency energy and infrared light to heat the fat cells and the surrounding dermal collagen fibers and tissues. It also utilizes a vacuum and massage rollers to tighten the skin by stimulating the regeneration of new collagen. VelaShape can be used to remove excess fat from various areas.

This can be described as a product of four technologies that shrink fat cells rather than completely eliminating them. These technologies are:

• Infrared light
• Radiofrequency
• Mechanical massage
• Vacuum suction

This body shaping procedure is gaining popularity because it is non-invasive and is less involved than plastic surgery. Most VelaShape beneficiaries describe the therapy as feeling like a warm, deep tissue massage with a mechanical massage from the rollers, providing incredible relaxation to the patients.

The Procedure

VelaShape is performed in the comfort of our office. While you may experience significant improvement after just a couple of sessions per year, it is generally recommended that you come in for a series of sessions to get the best results. Many patients find the deep heating sensation quite enjoyable. There are no incisions, needles, or anesthesia involved, and the results are generally noticeable in weeks to months. The combination of vacuum suction and massage also improves blood circulation while stimulating collagen production.

Who is the Right Candidate?

VelaShape, like most cosmetic procedures, is not for everyone. It is not designed for weight loss. Instead, it contours the body to eliminate stubborn fat around the waistline and other areas, giving you a thinner and potentially more youthful appearance.

Generally, you should meet the following criteria to qualify for this cosmetic procedure:

• Exhibit signs of cellulite
• Have stubborn fat
• Have loose skin that could use some tightening

VelaShape is an effective,  non-surgical cosmetic procedure that is designed to contour the body, and it’s readily available right here at Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center in Waltham, MA. Contact us today to book an appointment and get started!

Is Laser Acne Therapy Right for Me?

Each year, an estimated 50 million Americans suffer from some form of acne. Though it’s often synonymous with puberty and adolescence, the truth is that anyone of any age and gender can have acne, even if only mild. Here at Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center, we offer laser acne therapy procedures in Boston that can greatly improve the appearance of your skin and minimize acne outbreaks. But how do you know if it’s the right treatment for you? There are some factors you should consider.

Your Confidence is Low Due to Acne

Although understandably everyone may feel down from time to time about their appearance, if your acne is causing you copious amounts of stress, then it may be time to book an appointment with one of our professionals. If a problem is fixable and you’re simply ignoring it, then you’re potentially giving leverage for mental health problems to emerge further down the line.

You’ve Tried Other Solutions and They Haven’t Worked

It’s no secret that acne can be hard to treat. If you’ve tried other methods and they haven’t worked, then laser acne therapy might be the right choice. This is because, whereas traditional acne treatments such as creams and pills only target the bacterial layer of acne (which might work fine for mild cases, but nothing past that), our Candela Smoothbeam laser directly fixates on the root cause of the problem — sebaceous gland. Because of this, our treatments offer longer-lasting relief than other methods.

You’re Prepared to Stick with the Treatment

In most cases, acne doesn’t clear up after one round of laser acne therapy. It may require multiple treatment sessions depending on the severity of the problem. However, it’s still the most effective treatment available, so as long as you’re willing to stay with it throughout the duration of the treatment, then it will do a world of good for you.

You’re Ready to Enjoy a Clearer Complexion

Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center is proud of our Smoothbeam laser acne therapy, and if you’re ready to embrace the new and improved you, then reach out to our team in Waltham. We also offer a variety of other treatments such as laser stretch marks removal, skin tightening and dermal fillers, so if you have any other issues you would like to consult with us about, we’re happy to help!

3 Reasons Why SonoPeel Microdermabrasion is the Right Choice for Sensitive Skin

Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center offers treatment options for patients looking to reveal smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Microdermabrasion in Boston is a great way to achieve this. Microdermabrasion is considered less intense than dermabrasion and is a better choice for people with sensitive skin. However, traditional microdermabrasion in Boston still may not be gentle enough for some patients. If you have sensitive skin and worry about microdermabrasion causing irritation, SonoPeel™ could be for you. Here are three reasons why SonoPeel™ is a great choice for patients with ultra-sensitive skin.

1) Hydrates While It Exfoliates

Hydration is the key to healthy-looking skin. One of the things that makes SonoPeel™ so unique is the use of water to exfoliate the skin. Many traditional microdermabrasion techniques use abrasive products to slough away layers of dead skin. Another common technique is using a suction tool to remove the top layers of the skin. While these treatments do work, they may not be right for people with sensitive skin or people who already have dry skin.

SonoPeel™ uses intense but gentle water pressure to remove the top layers of the skin. It exfoliates while adding moisture, leaving you with beautifully hydrated skin.

2) No Set Downtime

People that suffer from sensitive skin usually have longer recovery periods after any kind of intense facial treatment. Many choose not to have professional treatments done because of this very reason. This isn’t the case with SonoPeel™. Instead of spending days with redness and sensitivity, SonoPeel™ microdermabrasion in Boston allows you to leave our office with little to no irritation and immediate results. This is also great news for patients who are looking for a microdermabrasion treatment before a big event or celebration and don’t have much time to wait for redness to disappear.

3) Great Results

If you think that having sensitive skin means you can’t achieve the same level of results as everyone else, think again. Even though it is extremely gentle, SonoPeel™ is powerful and effective. This revolutionary treatment can improve many undesirable skin problems. You can enjoy immediate results after just one session, and the more often you receive treatments, the better your skin will look.

At Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center in Waltham, MA, we love seeing our patients excited about their results. That’s why we offer SonoPeel™ for those battling with sensitive skin. If you are looking to reveal softer, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin, contact us today to book your consultation and get started!

Finding the Right Boston Cosmetic Surgeon for You

For any cosmetic or plastic surgery, your surgeon matters. Successful treatment will make you feel great about yourself and boost your confidence. However, it can only be realized if you choose a certified, experienced surgeon. Choosing the wrong surgeon increases your risk of having poor results. Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center wants you to get the best results possible. If you want to choose an experienced, qualified and trustworthy cosmetic surgeon in Boston for your procedure, we’ve got you covered.

Get Recommendations From People Close to You

When looking for recommendations, it’s important to consider people close to you, such as friends, family members, and acquaintances. These are people who can give you an honest opinion based on their experience with specific doctors. If you don’t know anyone who’s had cosmetic surgery or you’re new to Boston, feel free to ask around. You’ll most likely find that those who have visited Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center are satisfied with their results.

Reviews are powerful tools to use before getting into an agreement with your surgeon. They give you a sense of previous patients’ opinions and experiences, so be sure to check reputable sites.

Although they can be great sources of information, review sites can also be misleading. Some anonymous reviews, particularly negative ones, can be used for personal agendas, so be cautious when reading them. Look at the responses given by specific clinics or doctors. Similarly, be careful when looking at before and after photos. Although most surgeons showcase their results, others are not so honest.

Check Qualifications

Even before meeting any Boston cosmetic surgeon, make sure they are completely qualified to offer the treatment you’re seeking. It is not uncommon to find doctors who call themselves aesthetic specialists or surgeons when they’re not. Ensure that the surgeon you choose is well-trained to offer the treatment in your area of concern. Experience is a must as well.

Honest, Polite and Helpful

Be wary of surgeons who seem to pressure you to undergo a specific surgery or want you to make a hasty decision. You want a surgeon who is polite, understanding and helpful. You will notice these attributes by how well they handle your questions, the type of questions they ask, and the information they share with you.

The surgeon you choose for your plastic surgery in Boston has a huge impact on the outcome. Finesse Cosmetic Laser & Lipo Center has a team of experienced, certified, highly-specialized and supportive professionals who are ready to help. Contact us today to schedule an appointment in Waltham!
