It’s that time of year again: candy hearts, cupid’s arrows and chocolates galore! Valentine’s Day is always a fun excuse to celebrate love in all its forms: love for family, love for friends, love in a romantic relationship– the list goes on. And while we know that love extends far beyond aesthetic appearances, we also know that our patients have certain procedures they seem to flock to this particular time of year. So for this month’s blog, we’re sharing the three procedures people seem to love around Valentine’s Day. Whether you give one as a gift, treat yourself to a little self-care, or simply educate yourself for a future date… we hope you’ll love these too!
CoolSculpting® is a completely noninvasive, safe and effective way to eliminate unwanted body fat, which is especially popular as we inch closer to bathing suit season! Ideal candidates are within 20-30 pounds of their ideal body weight and have stubborn areas that don’t seem to respond to diet and exercise. This treatment is performed in our office without the need for anesthesia or sedation.
Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvederm, are made from a naturally occurring substance found throughout our bodies. These are commonly injected in a variety of areas to create volume, restore youthful contours and fill in unwanted wrinkles and lines.
One of the most popular requests we see this time of year using these products is to enhance the lips for more fullness. There’s often a bit of a negative stigma around getting filler in your lips, largely because a lot of people tend to go over the top. Dr. Biesman and Molly Katz, RN, take pride in using a subtle, artistic approach that helps your lips look full, but natural. Our goal is for our patients to look as if they’ve never had any work done and were simply gifted with a naturally full pout!
Lips get quite a bit of attention around Valentine’s Day, so book a consultation with Dr. Biesman or Molly Katz, RN if you’re interested in giving yours a little love this season!
3.THERMAGE
As we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity. Thermage® is a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that carefully and precisely heats the skin, inducing a contouring effect and stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production process. This procedure not only helps you look your best but also plays a preventative role, assisting in maintenance of your appearance as you age. Many of our patients who have been doing regular Thermage treatments for many years look better today than they did 10-15 years ago! Thermage® is popular just about anytime of the year, but February seems like a great excuse to indulge in some self-care to love on yourself!
Thermage® is most effective on the neck, jawline, face and eyelids. In fact, Dr. Biesman developed the eyelid treatment tip for Thermage® more than 10 years ago and it has remained one of the most popular Thermage® applications worldwide! This is a treatment most patients choose to do once or twice a year, and it requires no downtime so you can schedule a consultation when your schedule allows! Visit our website to learn more, or call our office to book a consultation to see if you’re a candidate.
While these are some of the most loved procedures this time of year, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of other services to meet your aesthetic needs. Practice self-care and give yourself a little love this season by booking a consultation with our practice today- for whatever your needs may be!
