FDA Approved - Coolsculpting by ZELTIQ

Featured on Good Morning America

It's a common complaint: People who are physically fit and at a stable weight still have bulges, rolls, and other small areas of fat they can't get rid of no matter how much they exercise or diet. Now you can attack these problem areas with the Zeltiq procedure, a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. A team of scientists and physicians developed the Zeltiq procedure to address these problems. Zeltiq utilizes a precisely controlled cooling method called Cryolipolysis™ to target, cool, and eliminate fat cells without damage to other tissue.

Physical Block vs Chemical Block

July 19, 2010:
Written by Erin Sage

If you know me, than you know how product obsessed I am. My product pick for this summer, is not just for summer, but for life. Something I only recently learned was that UVA rays are the same everyday any time of the year. I used to think if it’s cloudy and cold, I didn’t need sunscreen. Once I found out that the UVA rays are the same no matter what time or day of the year, I quickly became sunscreen obsessed. UVA is the ray that contributes to most of our aging, and you know I do whatever I can to prevent aging. It is really hard to find a good sunscreen. They are either chalky, too oily, to irritating, and most annoying, not sweat proof. Thank you Mina, because she found a great sunscreen called TIZO by Solar Protection.

TIZO SPF 40 forms a barrier against the ENTIRE UV spectrum, including UVA and UVB. This is what we call a Physical Block sunscreen. There are no chemical sunscreen filters which make this great for all skin types especially sensitive skin. Titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide are combined with antioxidants for added protection and benefit. This formula is also very water and sweat resistant, a perfect combo for this hot flash of weather we are having. If you hate wearing SPF because it seems greasy, try this. It has a matte finish so it also makes your makeup look great.

Why does everyone get so caught up with getting SPF 80+? Let’s go over some basics on Physical Block vs Chemical Block. Honestly, if you use either of the formulas, I applaud you and your skin says thank you. Dermatologists agree that we really only need around a 30 as long as it protects against BOTH UVA and UVB. (Remember, TIZO protects against the ENTIRE UV spectrum). Chemicals added to sunscreen tend to cause a lot of irritation because it requires such a large amount of chemicals to achieve a high SPF protection. That’s why Physical Blocks are a safe way to go. Less chemicals and less irritation = happy skin. For extra safety, don’t forget a super cute hat at the beach. Happy Summer!

Melt Fat and Tighten Skin in 1 Treatment

June 9, 2010:
Written by Mina Grasso

A procedure called LipoSkulpt^SM using Cool Lipo (laser-assisted lipolysis) now provides a new minimally invasive technology that liquefies fat and tightens the surrounding skin at the same time. This revolutionary laser-based procedure breaks up and liquefies fat, making it easy to remove while the laser tightens the surrounding loose skin. This laser utilizes an optimal wavelength that stimulates collagen contraction and results in tighter skin. Unlike traditional liposuction, the skin is not left loose and hanging. In some cases, LipoSkulpt^SM can take care of the two concerns and avoid an ugly tummy tuck scar. Areas that can be treated include unwanted fat pockets of the chin, neck and jowls, arms, fat bulges around the bra line, love handles, upper and lower abdomen, saddle bags and inner thighs.

The Zeltiq system is the first and only patented method of Cryolipolysis using controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate fat cells. This procedure non-invasively reduces fat bulges resistant to exercise from areas such as love handles, abdomen and back fat without needles, injections, incisions, anesthesia and downtime. With one (1 hour) treatment, patients on average see a 25% reduction of fat. A second treatment after 2 - 3 months shows incremental fat reduction safely. During the procedure you can relax, enjoy a movie or work on your laptop.

The Latest Breakthrough in Anti-Aging Laser Skin Rejuvenation

CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing

May 24, 2010:
Written by Mina Grasso

Reversing wrinkles, loose skin, large pores and irregular pigment and texture as a result of aging and sun exposure is a dream for many. Treatment of acne scars and stretch marks from genetic influences have also been challenging.

Recently, Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is replacing out-dated technology and provides a means to reverse these conditions. The eCO2 high precision laser beams penetrate through the epidermis into the dermis, heat and vaporize the skin tissue. Narrow thermal zones are created leaving surrounding skin intact which results in faster healing. This stimulates skin regeneration. Skin tightening and textural improvement is visible in one week. Cell regeneration continues to improve up to six months so it progressively takes several years off your appearance with just a few days of downtime.
