SmartLipo uses laser technology to dissolve/melt fat deposits present in the middle layers of the skin surface. Selective fat cells are ruptured and the liquefied fat is drained off through a tiny incision. The laser then tightens the skin leaving it smooth and unwrinkled. General anesthesia is rarely needed and the recovery period is also quite short (one can go back to their daily routine within a day or two) after SmartLipo treatment.

• Improves your overall shape
• Performed with only local anesthesia while you are awake

Get Rid of the Fat with Laser-Assisted Liposuction Using SmartLipo

For years, patients have thought about all the ways they could rid themselves of the excessive fat that makes it difficult for them to enjoy their clothes, activities, and lives. These thoughts usually lead back to trying their luck at the gym, fad diets, and surgery. At Dr. Ronald Bush’s office, the entire team encourages patients to look into SmartLipo, which requires much less downtime than was previously experienced with traditional liposuction procedures.

Many patients consider surgery as only a last resort solution to their problems because of laborious hospital check-ins and added cost, but the procedure is completed right in the surgical and cosmetic clinic. Now is the time to take the first step to loving the shape you’re in with state-of-the-art laser liposuction treatments that melt fat, making it much easier to remove. Using SmartLipo with its multiple laser energy frequencies, it can also tighten your skin in the process to contour and beautify the area.

There are so many procedures available that are nonsurgical but which may require as many as eight treatments to show improvement in the reduction of localized body fat, if at all. While these procedures can temporarily reduce the fat just under the skin, they cannot immediately remove the fat the way that SmartLipo does with its Triplex technology by CynoSure. SmartLipo Triplex will permanently remove focal fat deposits after just one treatment.

Every client knows exactly the areas they want to treat that damage their self-confidence, and Dr. Bush can help you trim those areas quickly and painlessly. Fat removal, is now so easy with laser liposuction using the SmartLipo TriPlex. SmartLipo is successful in just one treatment, which can save you time, money and stress that are often associated with surgical procedures.

Dr. Bush’s Approach to SmartLipo and What to Expect

Dr. Bush performs SmartLipo right in his office, in a comfortable and relaxing setting; patients are much more successful in their recovery when they go into liposuction stress-free. We dedicate a day to you, as each patient deserves the full attention of Dr. Bush. Laser assisted liposuction treatment using SmartLipo can last anywhere from three to six hours depending on the area(s) you would like to reduce.

Areas Treated with SmartLipo:

• Neck
• Under the chin
• Thighs
• Upper back
• Love handles
• Under the arms
• Abdomen

Dr. Bush will provide you with medication to ensure you are comfortable during your procedure. Many clients stay awake during the treatment and are pain-free, some report that it even tickles a little.

How Does SmartLipo Melt the Fat?

During your SmartLipo treatment, and after the anesthetic is applied to the treatment area, Dr. Bush will make small puncture marks in your skin where a cannula moves into the body, just under the skin and into deeper layers of concentrated fat. A laser fiber located within the cannula will send heat energy through these layers of fat as Dr. Bush moves the cannula in clean motions to heat as much fat as possible. Our SmartLipo system with heat energy is monitored as the procedure moves forward, making sure that every application of heat is comfortable and at the best possible level to get rid of your fat.

There are three settings of heat energy Dr. Bush can use with this dynamic tool that begins at 1064nm and continues to 1440nm and 1328nm; when these varied energies come together, they emulsify the fat into a soupy substance that Dr. Bush can easily extract. Patients are awake during this treatment and able to see the fat drained from their bodies. Every client is amazed by how much extra fat accumulates in these areas over time.

While this treatment melts the fat, the laser also helps shake up aged collagen fibers that are responsible for skin tightening and assists the skin in building new and improved elastin and collagen. Your skin will gradually tighten as time passes. For your curiosity, Dr. Bush will also take photos of these areas to compare pre and post-treatment measurements.

After the Treatment

Just after the SmartLipo treatment, you will wear compression garments for support as well as added absorbency dressings to catch any residual post-treatment fluid. Depending on which areas you treat, Dr. Bush can provide additional compression wear that’s unnoticeable underneath your clothing. A friend or family member should drive you home and assist you during recovery. Dr. Bush can also arrange for an aftercare facility or home nursing care assistant, if necessary. Most patients find that after a couple of days, they’re ready to go back to work with minimal discomfort.

Your procedure is totally and completely confidential, although you’re encouraged to spread the word of Dr. Bush’s minimally invasive laser liposuction. All potential clients will consult with Dr. Bush to ensure you are a candidate for this procedure. This is not a weight loss procedure. It is a procedure used to contour your body to its youthful, natural shape.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology used in various skin treatments, including hair removal and photofacials. A handheld flashgun is passed across the skin, delivering a broad spectral range of light that targets hair, vascular abnormalities and other skin issues. Treatment is also known as laser skin rejuvenation and photo rejuvenation.

The IPL Treatment Process (Lunch-time makeover)

These treatments generally last no longer than 30 minutes and only require that you wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from the IPL energy. Dr. Bush will use a hand-held device to go over your skin and focus on specific areas to rejuvenate the skin from photodamage, pigment, and vascular abnormalities. As the skin cells absorb energy, collagen fibers are tightened to reduce lax skin, causing the damaged cells to start the metabolization process so that new cells can replace them. IPL is one of the most powerful tools in our armamentarium to tackle stubborn pigmentation problems. By focusing its energy on the melanin or pigment in the cells it decreases melanin production thereby normalizing irregularities in skin tones. This gives the skin a very uniform appearance. And this is why we like to refer to this treatment as a “photofacial”. It gives you a Cover Girl appearance without the airbrush!

You will begin to see these changes after a few months with continued improvement after every treatment. The treatment causes a slight rosiness but there is no recovery time required.  After the treatment, we do recommend specific moisturizers and a skin care plan to protect the newly treated skin.

Results

Dr. Ronald B. Bush recommends three to five treatments for optimal results as best results can be seen after several treatments, spaced out every four to six weeks. The benefits of photo rejuvenation treatments are achieved with little discomfort and minimal risk. Our clients love the fact that no recovery time is required so they can go right back to work after their IPL treatment.

Every patient’s skin will age differently: some may be affected by fine lines and wrinkles, some may develop redness, age or sun spots while others may see large pores develop.

HOW DOES MINIFX WORK?

MiniFX uses a combination of different clinically proven modalities including Radio-frequency energy, deep tissue heating and suction coupled negative pressure. The Radio-frequency energy distributes heat to the skin and underlying fat, causing the tissues to heat and contract. The vacuum and controlled energy pulses then work synergistically to provide beautiful shaping results.

HOW SAFE IS THE TREATMENT?

A series of RF energy is delivered by a succession of pulses at 1 million cycles per second. While this may sound intense, it is very safe. To maximize comfort, the temperature will be constantly monitored, with ongoing accurate feedback of the skin’s temperature. This thermal monitoring provides the utmost in temperature control.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?

It is recommended that weekly sessions are performed over an eight week period. Gradual improvements in the treatment area can be seen following the first few treatments – with the skin’s surface feeling smoother and softer immediately.

WHAT KIND OF POST PROCEDURE CARE IS REQUIRED?

There is absolutely no downtime for MiniFX. It can be a lunch time procedure. Patients will notice redness and warmth in the treated area which will subside after a few hours. This warmth is equivalent to the sensation felt after a deep tissue massage and will not prevent anyone from their regular activities.

BEFORE AND AFTER

How does it work?

• Cleanse: Dead skin is sloughed away with the HydraFacial MD™ Active-4 cleanser. The non-acid exfoliants soothe, calm, and hydrate the skin while penetrating deeper than your regular face wash. The result is loosening and removal of sebum and dead skin cells.
• Acid Peel: The correct strength of peel will be chosen for you based on your skin. Most patients receive gentle peels which exfoliate and neutralize the skin.
• Extractions: Vortex suction with a special tip clears congestion and tightens pores while infusing salicylic acid and honey extract for smoothness and hydration. This treatment is painless and non-irritating.
• Hydration: The vortex fusion allows us to infuse your skin with vitamins, skin conditioners, and moisturizers for that healthy, dewy glow.
• Protection: After your treatment, targeted treatments will be applied to help begin your new skin care regimen.

While the HydraFacial MD™ will greatly refresh any patient’s skin, we recommend it as a “reset” before beginning a new facial skincare routine. By removing deeply hidden dirt and old makeup, your skin will be receptive and ready for a new routine.

If you’re ready for the renewing treatment of HydraFacial MD™ that celebrities like Beyoncé, Paris Hilton, and Kate Winslet love, give our office a call today.

Titan™ laser skin tightening provides a more uniform dispersal of energy than other methods, like radio frequency, resulting in more effective skin tightening. Titan™ skin treatment is a safe and versatile procedure able to correct loose skin over the entire body, including your abdomen, upper arms, or thighs. Titan™ facelifts can tone and tighten facial skin, returning it to more youthful contours. The face is the most common area for Titan™ laser treatments, especially for helping with lax skin by the jaw and neck. It is one of the few non-surgical treatments available to effectively treat this area in all skin types.

Titan™ skin tightening procedures can be performed in less than an hour. One laser skin tightening session can produce vastly improved results, but 3-5 sessions are recommended for optimum collagen growth and tightening. Results of Titan™ laser skin treatments can be seen after the first few weeks, but it usually takes up to 6 months before the full benefits are observed. Titan’s infrared technology is a great way to safely fight wrinkles and other signs of aging without incisions, injections, or bothersome downtime.
