‘Tis the Season For the LBD
 Holiday events, office parties, and New Year’s Eve are coming and at no other time of the year does the little black dress see so much action. I personally prefer wearing suits and bow ties to cocktail dresses. However, I am aware of the anxiety that the holidays can cause the fairer sex. My office is full of women and dozens of fashion magazines my patients bring as examples and leave behind (how else would I know what LBD stands for?).
If your silhouette from the front, back or side view leaves you running to the closest department store for a pair of industrial strength Spanx, perhaps it’s time to consider SlimLipo™ body sculpting. Many patients prefer it to squeezing into an uncomfortable body shaper and skipping the hors d'oeuvres all night.
SlimLipo™ comes to Fremont Laser in addition to our VASER® Lipo and LipoLite laser body sculpting treatments. Though all three body-sculpting treatments use laser precision to melt away fatty tissue to reshape the contours of the body, SlimLipo™ produces a pretty amazing side effect. Doctors performing the SlimLipo™ procedure reported that not only did the laser treatment melt away fat deposits, but it also had a skin tightening effect. Patients were not only losing inches, they were noticing firmer, younger looking skin in the treated areas.
The SlimLipo™ treatment works by using lower frequency wavelengths than other laser body sculpting wands. As the heat melts the fatty tissue, the naturally occurring collagen fibers shrink as a result of the heat. This tightens the skin and results in a younger, smoother appearance in addition to the treatment’s original purpose of creating definition of muscles and curves. SlimLipo™ is an excellent option for patients who have experienced dimpling of the skin after undergoing a traditional liposuction procedure as it can provide a much-improved smoother look.
Another reason behind SlimLipo’s™ growing popularity is the uniquely designed laser wand that allows doctors to treat smaller areas such as the chin or neck that are too difficult for other laser instruments to reach. The thinner, more flexible design means less trauma to the surrounding area so patients have less bruising and swelling, and perhaps a quicker recovery time. Many resume work and normal activity on the same day as their treatment.
Today’s body sculpting and contouring options range from starvation diets and grueling workouts to circulation restricting undergarments. When it comes to choosing the right time and right body sculpting method for you, it’s important to take into consideration the results, the potential side effects, and your ultimate post-procedure goals.
