New Non-Surgical Fat Reduction Treatment — CoolSculpting by Zeltiq Is Here

I am pleased to announce that we will be offering CoolSculpting by Zeltiq in the Skin Spa. Zeltiq offers a new, non-invasive way to gently reduce fat in targeted areas of your body. Zeltiq is unique in its use of cooling technology to eliminate fat cells. There are no needles, no incisions, and no need for anesthesia or pain medications, and no recovery time.

The technology is based on research done by dermatologists at Massachusetts General Hospital which showed that fat cells are more vulnerable to cold than other surrounding tissue — a scientific principle called "Cryolipolysis."

It is administered using an applicator that delivers precisely controlled cooling that triggers a process of natural removal of fat cells, gradually reducing the thickness of the fat layer. Reduction in fat bulges can usually be seen in two to four months.

Best candidates for the Zeltiq are relatively fit, but have some modest-size fat bulges that are not easily reduced through diet and exercise. They are seeking spot reduction for specific areas of fat, but are not considering a surgical procedure. The procedure is not a way to lose weight or treat obesity, and it is not a substitute for invasive methods like liposuction.

For more information or to schedule a consult on CoolSculpting by Zeltiq, please call the Skin Spa at 781-934-2200.

Labial Puff: A New Treatment for Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation

Dr. Christine Hamori, a board certified plastic surgeon, was featured on "The Doctors" TV show recently describing a new non-surgical technique called the Labial Puff. In the video below she describes the labial puff as a vaginal rejuvenation technique that uses an injectable filler called Sculptra Aesthetic as a volumizer. The labial puff helps balance out and "puff up" the labia majora, that tends to deflate and/or droop as women age. After applying a topical numbing cream, she uses a tiny-gauge needle to inject the volumizer to re-inflate the labia majora and help conceal the labia minora for a more balanced and youthful appearance. Dr. Hamori is a noted Boston-area cosmetic surgeon with expertise in vaginal rejuvenation techniques including labiaplasty. Her practice is located on Boston's south shore in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

Watch Dr. Hamori on The Doctors Today!

Our own Dr. Christine Hamori will be a guest on The Doctors today, February 3. She appears as part of The Private Parts episode and brings her expertise in labioplasty and vaginal rejuvenation to the panel. She describes the labial puff, a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation, a painless procedure that is often performed following pregnancy or for perimenopausal women, as well as vaginaplasties and labiaplasties, which yield similar results to the labial puff. Dr. Hamori often performs these procedures in conjunction with the Mommy Makeover — a tummy tuck and breast augmentation — completed immediately after a caesarean section to help diminish the cosmetic affects of pregnancy and child birth.
