New Procedure at Perfect Body Laser Gets Rid of 'Turkey Neck' Without Surgery

Exilis is a new procedure at Perfect Body Laser aimed at getting rid of 'turkey neck' without surgery!

Flabby, saggy skin under your neck is one of the signs of aging. But now new treatments available at Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics can solve the problem without surgery, with Exilis.

Lynda West did a double take when it looked like her youthful face was headed south.

"I had seen some pictures of me and I was mortified to see this giant turkey neck, and I just thought it made me look really old."

But West was reluctant to schedule a surgical tuck for her jaw and neck. "You're changing the way you look, for better or worse."

Dr. Probst said there are non-evasive options. One of the NEW technologies available at Perfect Body Laser is Exilis. It focuses radio frequency energy right on the area. "If you start doing facelifts when you're in your 40s, you're pretty much guaranteeing that you will be doing them well into your 50s and 60s."

But Probst said one solution is heat. "We can actually heat the skin to tighten it and we can heat the fat to make the fat cells leaky."

Exilis has focused the heating so that the Radio Frequency also generates collagen responses, which tighten loose, wrinkled skin.

"In heated or maybe slightly altered in some way and so it needs to be replaced," said Probst.

And while heat is involved it's usually not uncomfortable.

"Clients of Perfect Body Laser describe this as a warm massage most people tend to want to just close their eyes and sit back and relax," Probst said

Most people need anywhere from one to 3 treatments depending on the desired result and severity of the affected area.

Probst said that a few treatments result in tightening that lasts years. "She may need to come back maybe once every few years for maintenance, but she is excited to do it!"

Ulthera (Ultherapy) in NY - Neck and Face Lift Without Surgery

Ulthera in New York is the latest cosmetic procedure to help you look years younger without the need for surgery. This procedure is non-invasive and utilizes focused ultrasound energy to help tighten sagging skin in the face and neck.

Ulthera, also known as Ultherapy, is the latest procedure in the anti-aging and cosmetic armamentarium.

Prior to Ulthera in NY, skin tightening procedures utilized either light based or radio frequency sources to heat the skin resulting in skin tightening. There are two main differences between Ulthera (Ultherapy) and other devices such as Titan, Refirme, Thermage CPT, and Alma Accent. These devices typically work from top down, meaning they deliver heat to the skin starting from the top layer to the bottom layer of skin. However the energy often times does not penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, such as the fascia which covers the muscles. Often times, results are disappointing although some people do experience visible tightening. Second, multiple treatments are often necessary to obtain those results. Ulthera works on the deeper layers by utilizing ultrasound energy which is able to penetrate the deeper layers to effect skin tightening. Also, most clients will see a visible difference after 1 treatment. Visit www.PerfectBodyLaser.com for more information on the Ulthera procedure in NY as well as to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Ultherapy in NY can be used on the face and neck to treat sagging skin. It can be utilized to lift the brow, mid face and lower face and the neck region as well. Further research is currently underway and will likely demonstrate Ultherapy to be effective on other parts of the body as well such s the arms, knees, and abdomen. In addition, it may also be effective in reducing excessive sweating in the underarm region.

Ultherapy in NY can be performed in as little as 45 minutes. Everyone is a candidate including those with ethnic skin as Ulthera utilizes sound energy as opposed to light energy. Most people will experience tolerable discomfort although some people have found the treatment to be painful. Pain tolerance is individual and varies from person to person.

Following the treatment, some clients notice immediate tightening. There is little to no downtime associated with the procedures at Perfect Body Laser in New York. Some clients may experience mild redness and swelling following the procedure as well as a soreness which can last for several weeks. Optimal results can take 3 to 6 months following the procedure and improvement can continue for up to one year. The effect of the treatment is contraction of the skin as well as production of collagen. A second treatment may be performed in 3 to 6 months if additional tightening is desired. Ultherapy has a satisfaction rating of about 80% which is significant for a non-invasive device for skin tightening. It is important to have pictures taken as you may not realize the gradual improvement in skin tightening.

Ulthera in NY is the latest anti-aging device to produce skin tightening and a non-surgical face and neck lift. It is important to realize that Ulthera is not meant to replace surgery. The ideal client is someone who has mild to moderate sagging. Those with significant skin laxity will require surgery and therefore it is important to discuss you expectations with your Ultherapy doctor. As technology for cosmetic procedures get better and more advanced, people have options other than surgery to maintain a healthy, youthful appearance.

At Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics in Bay Shore, NY we are proud to offer the best in skin tightening procedures. Call 631-328-1100 to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Thermage CPT Laser System Technology Now Perfected! CPT (Comfort Pulse Technology) Adds Comfort and Great Results For Treating Sagging Skin.

- People are becoming more educated about the proven, non-surgical, non-invasive laser technologies available today.

- Thermage CPT is excellent for areas such as the tummy, thighs, buttocks, face, neck and jowls.

What do you see when you look in the mirror? Usually, people will focus on what they don’t like or the parts that they would change. It is not very often that people feel a hundred percent secure with their individual aging process. They commonly mention that their face looks droopy, tired or saggy. They often talk about their desire to help areas such as the smile lines, jaw-line, nasolabial folds and crow’s feet (around the eyes).

Since the beginning of time, people have been obsessed with their looks. Vanity is not the only culprit, though. We live in a society which demands a competitive edge in the business world and in the constant pursuit of social acceptability. For years people have used fillers such as Hylaform, Sculptra and Radiesse to invasively fill in the wrinkles and Botox to paralyze the muscles that cause the skin to crease and create wrinkles.

People are becoming more educated about the proven, non-surgical, non-invasive laser technologies available today. One of the top ones, Thermage CPT is becoming extremely popular and in some cases, is beginning to eclipse the need or desire for injectables. In my experience, I have witnessed a surge in the demand for treatments like Thermage CPT. It is safe, effective, non-invasive and rivals other skin tightening procedures on the market. It’s been clinically proven to help smooth and improve skin for an overall younger-looking appearance. As a result of client demand for Thermage, Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics in Bay Shore NY has become one of the top five providers in the country.

Laser treatments have not always been this popular. The general public is now recognizing that gone are the days of “needing” surgery to look better! The trend is towards the preferred use of non-invasive solutions to looking better, getting real results, without the surgery.

At its core, CPT (Comfort Pulse Technology) builds on the proven efficacy of the Thermage platform - the only device to use mono-polar, capacitively coupled radio-frequency energy for the treatment of wrinkles. CPT goes a step further to create a positive experience with integrated user and patient comfort features. Thermage CPT uses radio-frequency technology to heat the deep, collagen rich layers of your skin. The heat helps remodel existing collagen and produce new collagen, which improves the smoothness and texture of the skin’s surface. Treatments average about 45 minutes for the face and up to 90 minutes for other parts of the body, depending on the size, location and condition of the area to be treated. It is a short procedure and a single treatment.

The new Thermage CPT System represents a decade of innovation and over 35 technology patents that go into every system. Superior results and greater client comfort are at the core of the new system, which leverages their proprietary Comfort Pulse Technology™ and a vibrating hand piece for more comfortable treatments.

Thermage is excellent for areas such as the tummy, thighs, buttocks, face, neck and jowls. It is the only FDA-approved treatment for tightening the upper eye lids. It has multiple disposable treatment tips which vary based on a client’s specific needs. Different tips are meant to tighten skin while others do volume reduction and there are some that do both.

While laser treatments and other radio-frequency procedures also smooth the skin, no other treatment heats as deeply as Thermage. By heating the innermost layers of skin, Thermage CPT is the most effective at renewing collagen and producing new collagen, which results in smoother, tighter, sleek looking skin and an overall younger looking appearance.

Thermage has come a long way from where it was over ten years ago with its original design. The initial few generations were serial treatments, requiring multiple, uncomfortable treatments about one month apart. The thermal component (heat) from the radio frequency was simply unbearable for most clients. It wasn’t until The New CPT (Comfort Pulse Technology) was released that these treatments became comfortable and extremely efficient at addressing sagging, wrinkling skin.

It’s like anything else. The best technology is useless in the wrong hands. Choosing a provider with the most experience in a specific treatment is critical to achieving a successful result, without undergoing surgery.

Best Option for Tattoo Removal on Long Island is Laser Treatment

Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics explains why the best option for tattoo removal is laser treatment.

When Long Islanders decide they want to remove a tattoo, they face an important decision. Many of them may regret the decision to get a tattoo in the first place, or perhaps their choice of a particular tattoo. Some may be very happy with some of their tattoos, but dislike the design, durability, or location of others on their body.

When thinking about tattoo removal, you would do well to consider laser tattoo removal. Magical creams are heavily advertised online and on the radio, but they are little more than gimmicks that will leave you with sore skin, an empty wallet, and your original tattoo six months down the road. Laser tattoo removal is an elective cosmetic procedure that will gently remove your tattoo with an FDA-approved professional grade laser. Tattoo removal lasers work by breaking up the ink in a tattoo, enabling the body to flush the ink away in the days and weeks after the treatment.

1) Tattoo removal lasers are very effective at breaking down the ink in an unwanted tattoo. Generally, two wavelengths of light are used to break down a wide spectrum of tattoo ink. The 1064nm wavelength is used for darker colors – black, dark blue, brown, purple, and similar colors. The 532nm wavelength is used for red, orange, green, yellow, and other lighter colors. The most difficult colors to remove are light green and blue-green/teal/turquoise. Perfect Body Laser in Bay Shore, Long Island, NY utilizes the new Cynosure RevLite-SI tattoo removal platform, which is the best laser for removing unwanted tattoos.

2) Top tattoo removal Clinics will be able to remove a tattoo with minor or no side effects. The most common side effects, when a modern tattoo removal laser is used (such as Cynosure Rev-Lite SI) include redness and swelling. These side effects are part of the normal healing process, and often mimic the same characteristics of getting the actual tattoo. After the Laser treatment, the body is responding to the laser treatment by activating tools that will flush away the ink that has been broken down. There is almost no risk of scarring when the clinic uses a late-model laser – be aware of old equipment that looks like it came from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s or even 2000s. Technology advances very quickly and Perfect Body Laser feels that using the latest technology (less than 2 years old) is critical to great tattoo removal results. You want a Laser facility with at least 5 years’ experience in the laser tattoo removal business.

3) Alternative medical or surgical treatments involve long-term side effects that are unnecessary. Prior methods of removing tattoo, including dermabrasion, cryosurgery, and excision used to be the only method of removing a tattoo. Cryosurgery involved freezing the skin then peeling away layers to eliminate the tattoo. Excision was another surgical procedure that cut out the skin containing the tattoo and either sewing the skin together or grafting skin to cover the area. Dermabrasion is still used to remove a tattoo, but the effects on the skin (significant abrasion of the skin, scarring) in addition to the ineffectiveness, and excruciating pain in removing tattoos completely make it an undesirable choice.

4) Non-medical “creams” don’t work. Unsavory marketers push mysterious “tattoo removal creams” that claim to make your tattoo vanish. How this actually works is unclear and an examination of the components of these products leads to a lot of questions on how they could possibly remove tattoo pigment. Many have tried these creams, and after wasting several hundred dollars, have come to Perfect Body Laser for a treatment that’s been proven and has real science behind it.

5) The price of laser tattoo removal is now quite reasonable.  Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics offers reasonable rates for their laser tattoo removal services that are affordable on almost any budget. The cost of each session depends on the size of the tattoo, but the average session typically only takes about 15 minutes.

Laser Hair Removal Questions Answered and Facts Revealed

Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics, located in Bay Shore, Long Island, NY, is an expert at Laser Hair Removal, and shares some of their knowledge.

If you're considering laser hair removal, consider this: It's not always a sure thing. "Hair removal lasers aren't like point-and-shoot cameras," says Roy Geronemus, MD, clinical professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center. The results can be great, but if you're treated with the wrong laser or if it's on the wrong setting, you won't get the maximum hair reduction. And you might end up with burns, hyperpigmentation, even increased hair growth (this phenomenon may be seen in darker-skinned women who are being treated on the face, but the risk can be reduced by using a longer-wavelength laser).

Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics’ Laser Hair Removal experts have been honing their laser hair removal skills to perfection for over 6 years. When shopping for laser hair removal specialists on Long Island, make sure you know how long they have been in business! You do not want to be a guinea pig for a new facility. Make sure you fact-check their knowledge and the history behind the facility. There are way too many “laser-hair-mills” opening with little to no experience. But wherever you go -- a derm, a medispa, a gynecologist -- be sure to ask the following questions:

1. How many lasers are on the premises, and are they rented or owned? The more lasers a provider has access to, the greater the likelihood you'll be treated with the safest, most effective one for your skin color and hair type. Be wary if machines are rented or leased: Chances are the facility is only doing a few procedures a month.

2. What lasers do you use for hair removal, which one is best for my skin, and why? The Consultant should be able to articulate why a particular laser is the best match for you (taking into account your skin tone, hair texture, and color) and any potential complications. Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics owns more than 26 lasers, uses the alexandrite laser for hair removal most often; while the diode and nd:Yag lasers are particularly effective as well. Intense pulsed light machines can also remove hair, but only on light skin, and the quality of those machines can vary. Perfect Body also harnesses Cynosures Multi-Plex Technology, using the most sought after Elite MPX Laser Hair Removal Laser in Bay Shore, NY.

3. How many laser hair removal treatments have you performed? There's no standard "laser hair removal certification," so this is the best way to gauge a person's experience level. The answer should be at least a few hundred. Perfect Body has done tens of thousands of Laser Hair Removal Sessions, successfully.

4. How many sessions will I need? The average number of visits necessary to see permanent hair reduction is four to six -- but with the Elite MPX, most people respond well in two sessions. That is why a "package deal" offered for laser hair removal is often more advantageous for the Client getting Laser Hair Removal at Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics.

5. Can you treat me if I have a tan? If the answer is yes, then your reply should be no. "The only way to treat tanned skin without causing burns is to use such low settings that treatment wouldn't be effective," says Alaina Valdina, a Licensed Practical Nurse at Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics. At Perfect Body, we tend to air on the side of caution and we have multiple fail-safe protocols in place to monitor our Clients tanning and Laser Hair Removal Success’s at Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics.

Laser Hair Removal by Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics

The latest and greatest laser hair removal technologies and procedures are available at Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, laser hair removal was the third most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure in 2010. Given the growing ethnic diversity of U.S. population, safe and effective treatments for all skin types has become the driving force behind the recent advance in technology which has created the Elite MPX by Cynosure.

Client Satisfaction reviews indicate Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics is a premier facial rejuvenation and skin care facility in greater New York and Suffolk and Nassau counties. Founded in 2007, Perfect Body has built a strong reputation by specializing in non-surgical face lifts and non-surgical tummy tucks, both non-invasive. Perfect Body has extensive experience in various laser and non-surgical cosmetic procedures, including laser skin rejuvenation and laser hair removal.

After extensive research of available technologies for laser hair removal and eliminating many manufacturers who falsely claimed various advantages, Perfect Body is proud to announce the offering of the Elite MPX by Cynosure to its culturally diverse clientele for laser hair removal at Perfect Body in Bay Shore, NY. Elite MPX Aesthetic Workstation is the most innovative, advanced and complete skin treatment platform with safety, effectiveness and versatility unmatched by any other laser on the market today.

Cynosure's Elite MPX Aesthetic Workstation is the state-of-the-Art in its class, and by using the powerful MultiPlex technology, the device is recognized for its safety, comfort, versatility, and effectiveness in eliminating fine or coarse hair on all skin types and treat a variety of skin conditions such as acne scars, brown spots, sun-damaged skin, spider veins, rosacea, and of course, unwanted body and facial hair.

Hair removal lasers of earlier generations used a single wavelength where only a small area and a small range of skin conditions were treatable. However, with the Elite MPX and its MultiPlex technology, the system has the unique ability to use either "Gold Standard" Laser hair removal wavelengths, the alexandrite or the Nd:YAG alone or in Cynosure's exclusive and proprietary "Multiplex" sequential firing pattern which enables the revolutionary Elite MPX treatment of the full spectrum of skin colors regardless of ethnicity as well as greatly improving the ability to treat finer hair on dark skin, making it a great fit for Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics in Suffolk County NY, which provides only the most effective and well tested technology for full range of their clients' cosmetic needs.

The Elite MPX not only treats a full range of spot sizes, but it's pulse durations, combined with delicately balanced wavelengths allow Nurses and Aestheticians to customize treatments for each client. Elite MPX can also be used in microsecond mode to reduce pore size, acne scars and dermis pigmentation. The larger, 18 mm spot size, enables deeper and stronger penetration of energy resulting in less discomfort and more effective results. Given the advanced and versatile technology at Perfect Body Laser, the Elite MPX Aesthetic Workstation has a broad range of applications. including:

1. The most comprehensive range of permanent hair reduction applications available today on all skin types and tanned skin.

2. Treatment of facial and leg "spider veins" or telangiectasias

3. Treatment of pigmented lesions or lentigenes such as brown spots, freckles, dyschromias, and Roseacea.

4. Treatment of sun-damaged or photo-aged skin with laser facial or IPL photo facial.

5. Treatment of facial skin laxity and texture irregularity.

6. Treatment of stretch marks.

7. Treatment of acne scars.

Another key advantage of getting laser hair removal at Perfect Body Laser is their integrated air-cooling technology. In contrast to contact cooling, air-cooling protects the skin by delivering lower temperature and properly cooling the skin before and after the pulse. This method of controlled cooling allows for more comfort, better healing of the treated skin and is believed to reduce skin irritations such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can be aggravating to the client.

Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics recognizes the many advantages and benefits to laser hair removal, and they are proud to offer the most advanced laser technology for hair removal on the market to their clientele.

If you are interested in learning more about the Elite MPX system and laser hair removal, you are encouraged to contact the Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics to arrange a complementary, private consultation.
