As we begin to thaw from New Jersey winter weather, it’s time to start stocking up on shorts, sundresses, and other spring wardrobe staples. If you’d love to head into warmer months with more confidence and a body you’re proud to reveal, ask our providers about these popular cosmetic procedures for spring.
Non-Invasive Cosmetic Procedures
At The Breslow Center Injxcellence Medical Spa, we offer multiple FDA-cleared treatments that address your warm-weather concerns and require little to no downtime.
Hair Removal
Who wants to keep up with shaving all spring and summer long? Cutera laser hair removal treatment eliminates the headache of shaving for months! Our state-of-the-art Sciton system works by targeting and eliminating hair follicles at the root without injuring the surrounding skin. By the time warm weather arrives, you can enjoy silky smooth legs and underarms and a prickle-free bikini line. We also offer this procedure for the chest, neck, stomach, face, and back — so yes, even men can benefit from hair removal treatment.
Maximum results are best achieved through 4-6 treatments to target the hair during its growth phase. However, less treatments may be necessary depending on your regrowth. Once hair is eliminated, it will not grow back for several months. Some patients don’t see regrowth for years. When it does begin to grow, the hair will be lighter and less coarse than before treatment.
Sweat Prevention
New Jersey’s humidity is brutal in warm weather months, and being self-conscious about sweat and body odor is no way to spend spring and summer. Breslow Center offers two options that can help.
MiraDry is a cosmetic procedure that only takes about an hour and eliminates up to 90% of sweat and body odor permanently. It works by heating up and destroying sweat and odor glands via electromagnetic energy. Swelling in the underarm area is common 24-48 hours after completion and can last for several weeks. We recommend scheduling treatment two months before any special event to make sure the swelling subsides. MiraDry is also an effective underarm hair removal procedure, resulting in a 70% reduction in most patients.
Botox is another option for sweat reduction. We inject the neurotoxin into sweat muscles to temporarily block the secretion of the chemical that controls sweat glands. Patients experience full results two weeks after treatment and must repeat the procedure about every 6 months. Botox is a great option for controlling sweat over the spring and summer but does not help with odor control.
Body Contouring
For a swimsuit-ready torso, consider one of these non-invasive techniques to reduce stubborn body fat with no pain, no anesthesia, no scarring, and no downtime.
Coolsculpting uses a technology called Cryolipolysis to freeze fat in love handles, muffin tops, and the abdomen. We draw skin from the targeted area between two cooling panels, then use a vacuum-like applicator to freeze the fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue. It takes 2 to 6 sessions, with each session resulting in 25% less fat. Patients simply feel a slight tugging along with a cold sensation on the skin. Coolsculpting continues to eliminate fat cells over the course of 4 to 12 weeks, so it can take a few months to see maximum results.
EMSCULPT NEO is the ideal fat blaster if you’re looking for a leaner, more toned body. We place a paddle-like device on the targeted area such as the abdomen, and electromagnetic waves combine with radiofrequency energy to cause rapid muscle contractions. One 30-minute session creates 20,000 contractions, which makes it similar to an extremely effective workout. It usually takes four 30-minute sessions to see results — which are typically a 25% increase in muscle mass and up to 30% less fat in troubled spots. EMSCULPT NEO is also effective at strengthening weak muscles. Patients who deal with back pain due to a weak core can often get back to doing core-strengthening workouts after a few abdominal sessions with EMSCULPT. And women with diastasis (separated abdominal muscles) after pregnancy are also able to do crunches and planks again after EMSCULPT.
Age Spot Removal
If you have brown or red spots on your face or on your shoulders, arms, and hands that make you veer away from wearing short sleeves, Injxcellence Medical Spa offers cosmetic procedures to remove or at least lighten them.
Chemical peels remove spots by gently removing the outer layer of old skin. Our chemical peels use delicate lactic acid, citric acid, and glycolic acid solutions that do not cause peeling or excessive redness. Instead, you’ll just leave our office with a fresh glow.
Microdermabrasion is effective at spot removal as well as reducing acne scars. We use an exfoliating diamond-tip machine to remove up to 80% of dead skin cells on the surface, which is where age spots appear. You’ll need to come in once every two weeks for 6 visits, and once a month thereafter for maintenance.
Broadband Light Treatment (BBL) is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure for removing dark spots using light energy. Each visit takes about 30 minutes, and treatment is most effective if performed 3-5 times. A regimen of 2-4 visits per year is ideal for maintaining the best BBL results. Just be sure to slather on sunscreen from now on to keep those spots from returning!
Cosmetic Surgical Procedures to Transform Your Body
Dreaming of filling out a bikini top or laying on the beach with a flat belly this summer? Schedule one of these surgical cosmetic procedures for spring, and you’ll be ready to reveal your results just in time.
Breast Lift or Augmentation
If your breasts still have sufficient volume but are sagging after aging or pregnancy, a breast lift might be the answer for fuller, more youthful breasts. A breast lift reshapes and sculpts the nipples and breast mound but does not require implants.
If you want to add volume to your breasts for a more curvaceous bust line and a chest size that’s more balanced with the rest of your body, breast augmentation may be right for you. Our doctors will discuss the implant size and placement method that is best for giving you fuller breasts that will boost your self confidence.
Bruising and swelling from breast surgery can take a couple of weeks to fade, and it will take a few months for the shape and position of the breasts to settle. But the final results of your new, perkier breasts will be permanent!
Tummy Tuck
A flat stomach is more achievable than you think! If you are overweight and want to remove the excess fat and skin on your stomach, a tummy tuck is a great option. We surgically tighten loose abdominal skin (aka the pooch), fix separated ab muscles that cause a bulge in your belly, and even improve the appearance of stretch marks. You’ll be able to fully enjoy the results of your tummy tuck within a few months.
