VELASHAPE - THE SAME SYSTEM THAT THE KARDASHIANS USE TO MAINTAIN THEIR SLEEK CAMERA-READY BODIES!

COSMETIC LASER MD IS ONE OF NORTHERN NJ’S ONLY VELASHAPE LOCATIONS


Ever wonder how those Kardashian women maintain their sleek camera-ready bod’s and camera-ready glow? Exercise and good nutrition probably play a role, but VelaShape and St. Tropez Spray Tanning System are the stars’ go-to treatments keeping them in red-carpet shape. The Kardashians have spoken extensively about their VelaShape treatments on their show; while COSMETIC LASER MD does not treat them personally (they go to another location in NYC) we are one of the few Northern NJ practices who use the identical system to the one they use in New York. VelaShape is the only FDA-approved device that effectively and safely contours, shapes and slims the body by reducing cellulite and firming problem areas in as little as four treatments. Our VelaShape technicians are extremely experienced, and will work with each client to create a streamlined, contoured result. Yes, those six-pack abs can actually be yours this summer.


To complete the look, the Kardashians are big fans of the St. Tropez Spray Tan System, widely known as the industry’s most outstanding spray-tan system. Unlike its competitors, the St. Tropez Airbrush Tanning System (featured not only by the Kardashians, but also by Dancin’ With The Stars) produces the most natural color possible, based on your own skin tone. (We promise no orange!) Also, St. Tropez products have none of that “off” odor associated with other self-tanning systems. COSMETIC LASER MD is one of the top St. Tropez Spray Tanning locations in New Jersey, and in addition to body spraying, we carry a complete line of scrubs, optimizers, bronzers and lotions to extend and perfect your glow.

RESTORING VOLUME FOR A YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE

When cheeks are flat and lack definition, they can cause the face to look drawn, which is very aging. Contouring the cheeks by adding volume can give the face natural-looking symmetry, youthful balance, and a more feminine appearance.

FOR LONG-LASTING RESULTS
Fat is taken from another part of your body, like the abdomen or hips, and combined with Selphyl, a rejuvenating filler which is made from the platelets in a vial of your own blood. The Selphyl increases the longevity of the fat by stimulating new blood vessels to form. We then inject the fat-Selphyl mixture into your face precisely where volume is needed. “FAT TRANSFER” is currently the most popular option for long-term rejuvenating fullness. Using your own fat requires an additional mini lipo-like procedure to be performed. You will have a day or two of downtime in the liposuction area which will feel like you did some serious crunch classes. Best of all, the results are long-lasting and very natural.

FOR FAST RESULTS
Fillers are a good way of test-driving what your cheeks could look like with fat injections. Placing Juvederm, Restylane or Radiesse in the upper area of the cheek adds fullness and can also lift the area below the cheek. Results are immediate, and last an average of six months to one year depending on the product used. There is a chance of some mild bruising at the injection site which will subside within a few days.

By lifting the cheeks with one of these methods, other facial features are subtly lifted, too—like the corners of the mouth and the jawline—which gives a nice contour, and restores youthfulness to the face.

The Skinny on Fat - VelaShape

Last weekend Cosmetic Laser MD attended the 30th annual meeting of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) held in Phoenix, Arizona from Thursday, April 14 through Sunday April 18. Almost 2,000 Cosmetic physicians from around the world attended this important and highly educational meeting. A hot topic discussed at length at the meeting was the issue of fat reduction. Fat reduction is one of the top treatments sought by patients in the Cosmetic Surgery industry. Concerns regarding fat reduction are common, as it is estimated: more than 80% of women over the age of 20, regardless of their weight or size, are affected by cellulite.

Many hours were spent on this exciting and ever more popular topic. A variety of devices using a host of energy sources were discussed, and many research papers were presented regarding the effectiveness of these treatments. The devices used ranged from those using different types of radiofrequency, a new device that freezes fat, devices using focused ultrasound, high frequency ultrasound, and laser energy. Several non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments have been show to be effective treatment options.

As the United States continues to be a country plagued by an abundance of excess fat, these treatments are becoming increasingly more popular. While some of these devices need more studies before the cost and time of performing these treatments becomes a good option for patients, there are in fact effective Laser Treatment options for those who seek fat reduction. Unfortunately, some of these treatments are quite time consuming. The new Zeltiq treatment, which freezes fat, is effective, but takes approximately one hour per area.  The body is split up into zones, so if you are treating something like "love handles", it would be a total of two hours to treat those areas.

Since the FDA clearance, Cosmetic Laser MD has been using a the VelaShape treatment for body contouring and cellulite reduction with great success rate. We find patients tend to be very happy with this effective and relatively comfortable treatment -- the best part being that it only takes a total of 20 minutes. 

One of the best parts of attending a world class meeting is the opportunity to view a wide variety of laser and other energy-based equipment. Since vendors from around the world attend this meeting to show off their devices, its nice to have the experience of seeing them in action first-hand. The chance to evaluate these devices from many different manufacturers and determine their potential place in our practice is something to look forward to annually.
 

After watching many demonstrations on the effectiveness and use of different cosmetic laser treatments, VelaShape still remains the best non-invasive option for body contouring and cellulite reduction. Cellulite, which looks like dimpling on the surface of the skin, is actually caused by an accumulation of displaced fat and toxins that are trapped just beneath the surface of skin. Contrary to popular belief, Cellulite is not caused by being overweight. In fact, the majority of people who seek treatment are in good physical condition, but have pockets of cellulite on their arms, hips, thighs or buttocks. The best candidates for VelaShape are healthy individuals who are at or near their ideal weight and who follow a healthful diet and exercise program.
