Is Liposuction Better Than CoolSculpting®?

January 18, 2022

You can choose between liposuction, the gold-standard procedure for body contouring, and non-surgical treatments such as CoolSculpting®. Here’s how these two different options stack up in terms of: How they work: Liposuction involves small incisions that allow a thin tube to break up unwanted fat and suction it out. A newer version of liposuction called SmartLipo adds gentle laser energy to this process to enhance the procedure. Meanwhile, CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis, a technique that makes the fat cells so cold that they freeze and die. Effectiveness and results: Liposuction offers dramatic and immediate results. It only requires one procedure and can remove up to 11 pounds or 6,000 ml ofRead Full Post

Will Liposuction Help Tighten My Skin?

November 11, 2021

If you want to eliminate stubborn excess fat, then liposuction may be the perfect procedure. However, if you’re hoping to tighten your skin at the same time, there are a few things to know. Unfortunately, liposuction will not address hanging skin or skin that’s significantly loose. However, some devices do firm up mild skin laxity. Skin tightening treatments can help with that too.

October 29, 2021

The wintertime in Nevada may be the perfect time to schedule the aesthetic procedure you’ve been considering. Here are a few reasons why: Cooler temperatures.

While the idea of throwing on a sweater during a Las Vegas summer is appalling, our highs in the 50s and 60s in the winter are tailor-made for these clothing options. Plenty of time before spring and summer. Getting surgery in the wintertime means your bikini body will be ready for sure by the summer!
