What You Need To Know About Cool Sculpting Treatments You have been trying to get rid of that last bit of stubborn fat, or you want to do some sculpting on the part of your body that has bothered you for a while. Dr. Ann Zedlitz is the founder of Z Aesthetic Dermatology, located in Baton Rouge and Prairieville, LA, and has over twenty years of experience as a Dermatologist. She mastered the CoolSculpting (CS) technique to provide excellent care for this procedure and is awaiting your phone call for a CS consultation. What Is Body Sculpting? This particular sculpting process uses cold and suction to target stubborn fat pockets in some body regions. The cold will begin the process of destroying fat cells. These cells will take a couple of weeks to break down and get cleared out by the lymphatic system. This technique does not threaten the liver in the excretion of the fat cells and has been proven safe for almost all individuals except those with extreme cold reactions. The FDA has approved sculpting for the following areas: Arms Flank area Chin Fatty areas at the bra area back and sides Directly under the buttocks Outer and inner thighs Upper and lower abdomen Preparing for Sculpting and Potential Minor Side Effects of the Procedure According to Dr. Zedlitz of Z Aesthetic Dermatology, located in Baton Rouge and Prairieville, LA, CoolSculpting is for you if you are almost finished with your weight loss journey. This process is not a fat-losing technique but removes excess left-over fat. Depending on the area being sculpted, the whole process can take between one and three hours to complete. Due to the lengthy process, it is best to eat beforehand. You may find it helpful to bring a book or something to keep you entertained during the treatment. During the procedure, you may feel some slight pinching or pulling, which can cause mild discomfort. You can return to your daily activity directly after the procedure. As with any procedure, you may experience the above side effects and can treat them accordingly, except with anti-inflammatories. Taking anti-inflammatory medications may cause more bruising from the procedure. Treatment results should be noticeable between three and six months after treatment. Almost 80 % of patients show improved results.

Acne Acne is a very common skin condition that is unfortunately surrounded by many myths regarding its care. One of the most prevalent is that you should allow your acne to run its course, but with the help of your dermatologist, you can often reduce the impact of its symptoms on your skin. Both in helping to prevent breakouts and in treating resulting acne scars. Aging With age, your body produces less collagen, an important protein responsible for maintaining your skin's structure.

While it's impossible to completely turn back the clock you'd be surprised by what's possible thanks to the many treatments available at your dermatologist's office. Injectables in the form of fillers and Botox can provide dramatic results without the need for surgery, and other treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and laser resurfacing, can all promote natural collagen production. Dryness and Sensitivity Dryness and sensitivity can often be the result of outside factors affecting your skin, and your dermatologist can suggest improvements to your beauty routine to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. But if your skin is often dry and sensitive these may instead be symptoms of an underlying skin condition.
