Description

One of our most popular guests is back on the show, because dermatology is a hot topic for midlife beauties.  This time we get to discuss all of the modern possibilities for body procedures.  Dr. Mona Foad and I discuss body tightening, body sculpting and life-changing vaginal rejuvenation.  We also covered off on a few listener questions from the first show!

Our mission is to ensure that our listeners are up on the latest and greatest in medicine, technology and selfcare, and that they know that there are choices to be had when it comes to our health and wellness.  

Options to improve the appearance of the neck:

• IPL - Light treatment for evening out skin tone and diminishing brown spots/sun damage
• Fraxel Laser - May require a little downtime but very effective
• Tightening Procedures - Thermage (radio frequency), microneedling, ultrasound
• Biostimulant fillers and Botox
• Alastin - Restorative Neck Complex

EMFACE - New facial lifting and tightening procedure that stimulates muscles/facial support structure
Glacial Rx - Procedure  that treats inflammation such melasma on the face

Body Procedures

• Cool Sculpting - For spot fat reduction (lipolysis)
• Kybella - Injection form of spot fat reduction
• Emsculpt Neo - Targets fat and muscle tightening

Cellulite treatments

• QWO - Enzyme injection that dissolves the bands that create the look of cellulite
• There also is a procedure where the bands can be cut

Scar treatments are based on color, texture and whether they are raised, flat or indented.  Skin Medica makes Scar Recovery Gel.
