BIKINI READY BODY

Summer is finally here! While there are a lot of things we can do to make our bodies “summer ready” - get a leg wax, moisturize, schedule that long overdue pedicure and apply SPF - there are some improvements that aren’t so easy. For instance, getting rid of varicose veins, cellulite, sagging skin, as well as removing excess fat without surgery, are often best left in the hands of professionals like the beauty experts at Soleil Medical Spa.


TIGHTEN SKIN ON ABDOMEN AND THIGHS

HOW IT WORKS: The Titan™ is a laser that tightens sagging skin without any kind of surgery. The procedure causes minimal pain, no scarring, and requires no downtime. An infrared light is used to heat the dermis below the skin’s surface causing immediate collagen contraction. During the procedure, the skin’s surface is protected through continuous cooling. After the procedure, new collagen growth results in tighter and smoother skin.


AREAS TREATED: Face, neck and jowls, abdomen, love handles, upper arms.


WHAT TO EXPECT: “On average, the desired results appear after 5-6 treatments,” says Dr. Myers. The treatment takes about an hour, every 2-3 weeks give the desired results. “I have seen dramatic improvement in a lot of women.” For optimal results, Dr. Myers suggests using mesotherapy in conjunction with the Titan™ skin-tightening technique, which combines fat removal, skin tightening, stimulates collagen production.


UNSIGHTLY VEINS

HOW IT WORKS: “Spider veins can be genetic in nature or caused by pregnancy or hormonal changes,” explains Dr. Myers. Spider veins are superficial, enlarged veins near the skin surface that appear purple, red or blue. Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution
(generally sodium tetrodecal sulfate) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to turn into scar tissue that fades from view.

AREAS TREATED: Commonly found on the legs, spider veins can occur on the face and other parts of the body.


WHAT TO EXPECT: A series of 3-4 treatments is required for best results. “After each treatment the veins will appear lighter,” describes Dr. Myers. As time passes, you may find that you need “touch-ups” for new veins.
