Del-Henderson-photo Welcome back to our ongoing Provider of the Month blog series. This month, we are thrilled to shine the spotlight on one of our longest-tenured dermatology providers, board-certified physician assistant Del Henderson. Del has been an invaluable member of our team for over 20 years now. He is uniquely skilled at diagnosing and treating common skin conditions and performing many of the most common cosmetic treatments and services that we provide. Today, we wanted to give Del the opportunity to recommend some of his favorite cosmetic treatments that we perform here at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta.

Why Del Recommends CoolSculpting® Non-Surgical Fat Reduction:

“Non-surgical fat reduction has become incredibly popular over the last 20 years, and I’ve had tremendous success using FDA-approved CoolSculpting® Fat Reduction to help our patients. As one of the first practices in the Atlanta area to offer CoolSculpting® Fat Reduction, I have performed the procedure on many patients over these 20 years. The treatment is able to target the specific areas that the patient wants to address, which allows for localized and outstanding fat reduction. The system works by effectively damaging the fat cells in the treated area. Once completed, the body is able to naturally dispose of these fat cells, leading to a trimmer and healthier appearance in the treatment area.”

Why Del Recommends Cartessa™ Tetra Cool CO2 Laser:

“I have been performing cosmetic laser treatments for many years, and am still amazed at the results I’ve seen with the Cartessa™ Tetra Cool CO2 Laser. Cartessa™ Tetra is the first laser treatment to utilize advanced CoolPeel® technology, which allows for a precise and fully-ablative treatment that is able to drastically improve skin tone and texture all over the face and body. This includes addressing common signs of aging like wrinkles, as well as other skin issues like sun damage, acne scarring, and uneven skin tone. It can safely be performed on the face, arms, abdomen, chest, back, legs, and more. The treatment is safe for all skin types and requires less downtime for recovery than many other CO2 laser technologies.

Why Del Recommends Ellacor® Skin Tightening with Micro-Coring™:

“Ellacor® is unique among skin tightening treatments due to its use of signature Micro-Coring™ technology. Cleared by the FDA, Ellacor® treatments can be incredibly helpful for reducing wrinkles and skin laxity in the lower portion of the face. The treatments are very fast and require only local numbing, despite being able to provide incredible results that are comparable to some facial plastic surgeries.”

We’re so grateful to have had Del as an integral part of our practice for so long. If you are experiencing a skin care issue and would like to consult with a professional, contact Dermatology Associates of Atlanta to schedule an appointment with Del or any of our other licensed providers today. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more skin care tips and practice updates.

A Look Inside a CoolSculpting® Non-Surgical Fat Reduction Treatment

CoolSculpting, Non Surgical Fat Reduction body contouring, Coolsculpting, coolsculpting treatment, nonsurgical body contouring, nonsurgical fat reduction

female-shows-slim-waist Feeling confident in your appearance is a joy that everyone deserves to experience. For so many, it is merely one or two “problem areas” of stubborn fat that hold them back. In many cases, those unwanted bulges never go away despite healthy dieting and exercising habits. That’s why CoolSculpting®, a non-surgical treatment to reduce fat in specific targeted areas, is such an exciting option.

If you’re new to CoolSculpting®, though, it helps to have an idea of what to expect. Fortunately, we have had the privilege of being one of the first medical practices in our area to perform the procedure, so we have an abundance of experience to guide you. To help, we’re walking you through the experience of a CoolSculpting® treatment at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta.

Your Pre-Treatment CoolSculpting® Consultation

Before your CoolSculpting® treatment (or any cosmetic treatment at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta) you will have a dedicated consultation with your provider. This is your opportunity to ask any questions you may have and get a detailed understanding of the procedure. Your provider will discuss your goals and expectations and make sure CoolSculpting® non-surgical fat reduction is the best fit to achieve the results you want.

Your CoolSculpting® Treatment

To start, your provider will take your “before” pictures so you’ll be able to see the difference in the weeks ahead. Next, your provider will start preparing for your treatment. They will customize the settings on the CoolSculpting® machine based on the area being treated and other specifications of your procedure. They will also determine the ideal placement for the CoolSculpting® applicators on your treatment area.

When it’s time for your treatment to begin, your provider will place a gel pad on your skin to create a barrier between the applicator and your skin. They will then place the applicator onto your treatment area. The applicator has an opening inside, and you will feel gentle suction as the applicator pulls your treatment area into its cooling compartment.

Your treatment time will vary based on the type of CoolSculpting® machine used and the area or areas being treated. Throughout this time, though, you’ll be able to rest comfortably while the applicator delivers precise cooling. Many people read, catch up on emails, watch their favorite show, or even take a nap during their session. When your treatment is finished, your provider will remove the applicator and then the gel pad before massaging the area for a few minutes to help break up the fat cells.

After Your CoolSculpting® Treatment

Because CoolSculpting® is entirely non-invasive, it requires little or no downtime. Your provider will give you instructions on caring for your treatment area and optimizing your results, but you can otherwise immediately go back to your day. You’ll see your results develop in the coming weeks, with most results being visible within two to three months.

How to Get Started with CoolSculpting® Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

For many patients, CoolSculpting® can be an ideal way to reduce specific areas of unwanted fat without surgery or recovery time. Now that you have an understanding of what to expect, if you’d like to get started on your body contouring process, we’re here to help. Call Dermatology Associates of Atlanta today to schedule your consultation. For more insights, follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

The Benefits of Combining CoolSculpting® and EMSculpt® for Body Contouring

CoolSculpting, EMSculpt, Non Surgical Fat Reduction blog, dermatology, fat reduction, muscle toning, non-surgical

Swimsuit season may be coming to a close, even in Atlanta, but for many people, the frustration with their physiques doesn’t go away. You may feel more secure in public while wearing clothes that are less revealing, but ultimately, you’d prefer to have a body contour that makes you feel confident no matter what you’re wearing.

You’re not alone, and that’s why non-surgical body contouring is such a popular choice all year round. There are several treatment options for body contouring, but our experts at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta are weighing in on one of the most successful choices: a combination of CoolSculpting® and EMSculpt®.

What Are CoolSculpting® and EMSculpt®?

CoolSculpting® and EMSculpt® are two non-surgical body contouring procedures. While both are designed to sculpt your physique in a non-invasive way, they have two different focuses.

CoolSculpting® focuses on fat reduction. During the procedure, the device applies precise cooling to the area of your body that you want to treat. Because fat cells are more vulnerable to cold temperatures than other types of cells, the cold will “freeze” your fat cells to damage them. Your body naturally removes these damaged cells, reducing your fat in the treatment area by about 20%.

EMSculpt® body contouring, on the other hand, focuses on toning your muscles along with reducing unwanted fat. It does this through electromagnetic waves that pulse your muscles in a deeper way than exercise can provide. This tones and builds those muscles, and at the same time, the electromagnetic energy damages fat cells in the treatment area. The result is a combination of non-surgical fat reduction and targeted muscle toning.

Benefits of Combining CoolSculpting® and EMSculpt®

In the world of cosmetic treatments, every procedure has a specific purpose and design. That includes body contouring procedures: each one has its own method and its own strengths. The right combination of procedures, when discussed with your dermatology care provider, can add up to far more successful results. Consider these benefits of receiving both CoolSculpting® fat reduction and EMSculpt® for example:

Results That Complement Each Other

Removing unwanted fat can get you a long way toward your “dream physique,” but patients often see their results and realize that they don’t just want a certain area to be smaller; they want it to be shapelier too. That typically comes from toning your muscles in addition to reducing fat. When you choose CoolSculpting® and EMSculpt® from the beginning, you’ll end your treatment process with better results that are more comprehensive.

Refining One Treatment’s Results with Another

Our team at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta has extensive experience with both CoolSculpting® and EMSculpt®. In fact, we were among the first facilities in Atlanta to offer each of these procedures when they were released, so after performing thousands of treatments since this time, we have more experience with these treatments than nearly any other facility.

That expertise allows us to precisely optimize each patient’s treatment process. When you consult with your provider and choose a treatment plan that includes both CoolSculpting® and EMSculpt®, we’ll be able to customize each session in a way that best fits your overall goal.

In October 2021 Only, More Savings

Exclusively for the month of October 2021, Dermatology Associates of Atlanta is offering 20% off CoolSculpting® and EMSculpt® non-surgical body contouring. You’ll save more if you purchase both procedures during this special, you’ll be able to save 20% on both.

If you’ve dealt with the frustration of stubborn unwanted fat or an area that just won’t develop the toned look you want despite a healthy diet and exercise regimen, body contouring treatments may be able to help.

What Non-Surgical Fat Reduction Treatment is Best for You?

CoolSculpting, Non Surgical Fat Reduction bodyfx, Coolsculpting, emsculpt, kybella, non surgical fat reduction

If you keep exercising and dieting yet you can’t seem to get rid of stubborn excess fat, non-surgical fat reduction may be the solution you’ve been searching for. This procedure is perfect for those wanting to remove fat that won’t budge, but don’t want to undergo an invasive and lengthy surgical procedure. Here at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, we offer a number of different non-surgical fat reduction treatment options for combatting unwanted fat. Our targeted procedures can eliminate excess fat on a multitude of different locations.

CoolSculpting® Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

CoolSculpting® is designed to reduce small amounts of stubborn excess fat that is resistant to exercise and diet changes. Using a technique called Cryolipolysis, the treatment applies targeted cold to areas of excess fat which causes the fat cells to be removed through the body’s lymphatic system. CoolSculpting® Non-Surgical Fat Reduction requires no needles, knives, lasers or even downtime, yet is extremely effective against reducing small patches of unwanted fat.

EMSculpt® Muscle Toning and Fat Reduction

EMSculpt® differs from other non-surgical fat reduction options because it’s main focus is on toning and contouring treatment areas along with helping to improve small amounts of fat. This procedure works by applying a specific type of electromagnetic energy to the surface of your skin. This energy tones and sculpts your muscles while also breaking down fat in the treatment area. Additionally, EMSculpt® requires no downtime and sessions normally take 30 minutes or less to complete.

Kybella® for Fat Reduction for the Chin

Instead of targeting excess fat all over the body, Kybella® Fat Reduction for the Double Chin is unique in the way it specifically focuses on reducing fat under the chin. This treatment involves injecting deoxycholic acid, a natural substance in the body that works to break down fat into the chin to reduce the localized fat cells. The number of injections needed varies from patient to patient, but each session requires little downtime and takes around 15 minutes to complete.

BodyFX™ Non-Surgical Body Contouring & Cellulite Reduction

BodyFX™ is a great solution for those looking to improve cellulite, stubborn fat and improve lax skin to achieve a slimmer, more flattening figure. This procedure utilizes radio frequency energy, deep tissue heating and light pressure to treat fat cells. Because BodyFX™ is a non-surgical procedure, there is no expected downtime and patients are typically able to return to their daily life immediately. This treatment is perfect for those who are dealing with “problem areas” in places such as their hips, love handles and thighs, but aren’t interested in undergoing a surgical procedure.

With so many fat reduction treatments available, unwanted fatty areas can be improved in almost every part of the body. No matter what your personal aesthetic goals are, Dermatology Associates of Atlanta can help you achieve your ideal look. If you’re interested in learning more about our fat reduction services, schedule a consultation today.

The Sun is Shining on Our August Skin Care Specials!

Acne Treatments, Age Spots, Botox & Dysport, CoolSculpting, Current Monthly Specials & Event Information dermatology, facials, non surgical fat reduction, skin care, specials

Summer is coming to a close and many kids have already started the new school year. That doesn’t mean the party is over, though. At Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, the party never ends and this August is no exception. This month, you can celebrate the summer with us by taking advantage of our August skin care specials.

CoolSculpting® Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

We can all eat healthy and exercise, and while they may work for weight loss, we often end up with areas that don’t respond the way we want them to. When that happens, CoolSculpting® could be the answer you need. CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that “freezes” unwanted fat to slim down targeted areas.

CoolSculpting® has evolved over the years to add multiple sizes and shapes of applicators. As a result, you can now get CoolSculpting® for many areas of your body, from the “double chin” to the abdomen and the thighs. Not only does DAA have multiple CoolSculpting® machines to treat multiple areas at a time, but this month, we’re also giving you 20% off the popular treatment.

EMSculpt® Fat Reduction and Muscle Toning

Fat reduction alone is popular for people who want to trim up their “problem areas” and adjust the contours of their bodies. What if you want a more comprehensive body makeover, though, with less fat as well as more muscle?

That’s where EMSculpt® comes in. This innovative procedure offers a non-invasive way to get comprehensive body contouring in targeted areas for an overall more toned look. This August, you can get that body makeover for 20% less with our monthly special.

HydraFacial®

Your face is typically the first part of your appearance that catches the eye. If you look in the mirror and all you see are fine lines, blemishes, and a blotchy complexion, it takes a toll. HydraFacial is a gentle yet effective way to correct a variety of frustrations with your skin. It’s a deep cleansing for your pores while also hydrating your skin and making you look more youthful and rested.

Better yet, you can customize your HydraFacial® session by choosing from our treatment options. Until the end of August, you’ll also save 20% on your procedure if you choose HydraFacial® Deluxe or HydraFacial® Platinum.

Hair Revitalization Package

Hair loss is a common issue that affects men and women alike. If you’d prefer a fuller head of hair, you may have more options than you realize. One of those options is our non-surgical hair revitalization package.

With this package, you receive six weeks of microneedling: a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your hair follicles and promotes new hair growth. To top it off, you’ll receive a hair-stimulating HydraFacial® Keravive scalp treatment. All this comes at a 15% discount.

Wrinkle Reduction Injection Specials

Cosmetic facial injectables have long been a popular way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and for good reason. These injections take only minutes to complete and they don’t require any downtime, yet they can make a powerful and natural-looking difference in your appearance.

All month long, you can get those results for less with our specials on Restylane® Lyft, Juvéderm Ultra®, Juvéderm Ultraplus®, Radiesse®, Sculptra®, Botox®, and Dysport®.

At Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, “skin care from head to toe” is our motto and that is what we offer to patients with any cosmetic or medical skin care concerns. This month, you can get many of those treatments for less with our August specials until August 31^st, 2020. To take advantage of them before they run out, call Dermatology Associates of Atlanta to schedule your appointment.

Post-Isolation Cosmetic Treatments

Botox & Dysport, CoolSculpting, Dermatology News, EMSculpt, Non Surgical Fat Reduction, Skin Care COVID-19, dermatology, facials, nonsurgical fat reduction, wrinkles

This blog is purely a suggestion for those interested in cosmetic treatments after the state lifts shelter in place orders. Dermatology Associates of Atlanta remains committed to the safety and well-being of all patients. Our thoughts are with those who are sick, the elderly, and those with pre-existing conditions, essential workers, those affected by the economy, and those taking care of family and friends in isolation.

Stay-at-home orders have been affecting the U.S. for over a month. Many of us have found ourselves stressed out, eating at odd hours, and far removed from our work and exercise routines. However, we want to help you get back to normal. That is why the team at DAA has put together a list of recommended treatments that will have you going back to work refreshed and renewed. This list is meant to help you look and feel your best so that you can tackle the new challenges of a post-COVID-19 world.

Facials

A facial is a good reset for your skin and your mind. Whether you’ve been in isolation, stressing about COVID-19, or working long hours in essential areas with a facemask, your skin and mental health may benefit from the relaxing and nourishing power of a facial. Our facials are customized by our Skin Medics™ Medical Spa for your skin’s specific needs. Please note that although our Skin Medics™ Medical Spa reopened on May 4^th, 2020, due to limited hours and alternative shifts, we ask that you call ahead to make an appointment.

Wrinkle treatments

Times of intense stress may show on your face in the form of rapid aging. If you have noticed that your face could use a little TLC, we highly recommend facial injections. Dermal fillers such as Restylane® Lyft, Juvédurm® Ultra, Juvedérm® Ultra Plus, and Radiesse®, Sculptra®, or facial relaxants such as Botox® and Dysport®. Cosmetic facial injections can improve facial lines, wrinkles, and restores your complexion, leaving it soft and smooth. Don’t forget to check out our specials on cosmetic injections available for purchase now through July 31^st.

Non-surgical Fat Reduction

Being stuck in the house all day while following social distancing orders can lead to higher food consumption and less opportunity to exercise. This is the perfect combination to promote weight gain. If you have experienced some weight gain during social isolation and stay at home orders and you are ready to expedite the process of getting back to where you were before all of the social changes, non-surgical muscle toning and fat reduction treatment by EMSculpt® or CoolSculpting® may be right for you. EMSculpt® is a toning and contouring treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to tone and strengthen muscle treatment areas. CoolSculpting® fat reduction is another fat reduction treatment that uses a process called cryolipolysis to target small areas of fat with cooling technology. CoolSculpting ® is often used on areas that just won’t budge with diet and exercise such as the chin, back, and abdominal areas. Both procedures are non-invasive and FDA-approved. It is important to remember that muscle toning and non-surgical fat reduction is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.

Rest assured that Dermatology Associates of Atlanta is closely monitoring COVID-19 and have reinstated regular operating hours as of Friday, April 24th. Please call ahead for an appointment at (404) 256-4457 or click here to fill out an appointment request form. Please note that a couple of providers are still working limited hours and we are continuing safety precautions such as enhanced sanitation processes and socially distanced waiting areas and patient rooms, this is why it is imperative that you call in advance.

Advanced Body Contouring Combination with EMSculpt® and CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting, New Technologies, Science/Technology body contouring, cosmetic injections, fat removal, muscle toning, nonsurgical fat reduction

Dermatology Associates of Atlanta offers fat reduction procedures to help patients remove specified quantitates of unwanted fat from the body. Sometimes diet and exercise alone aren’t enough to achieve a specific contour or shape. For comprehensive results, our experienced dermatology providers recommend that patients combine two of our most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures: EMSculpt^® Muscle Toning and Fat Reduction with CoolSculpting^® fat reduction.

What’s the difference between EMSculpt^® and CoolSculpting^®?

EMSculpt^® Muscle Toning and Fat Reduction is a nonsurgical procedure that simultaneously tones muscle and burns fat without any downtime. The results that we’ve seen from our patients in the past year since we started offering it have been incredible. EMSculpt^® safely emits electromagnetic energy onto the surface of the skin over select muscle groups in the abdomen or buttocks. It reaches a deep level of muscle tissue and fat reserves that exercise typically doesn’t quite accomplish. Treatment areas almost immediately show noticeable results in tone and contour. A single session takes only 30 minutes and the most success is typically found after 4 consecutive sessions.
CoolSculpting^®Non-Invasive Fat Reduction is a procedure designed to safely eliminate areas of unwanted fat on the flanks, abdomen, chin and more. It uses a process called Cryolipolysis to administer a low temperature to small areas of unwanted fat. The cold disrupts and eliminates fat cells that are ultimately dispelled from the body naturally. It doesn’t require injections or a recovery time and results can be attained in just one session. Dermatology Associates of Atlanta houses three CoolSculpting^® machines in addition to an applicator that specifically treats a “double chin.” Our facility allows patients to have multiple areas treated at once to create a faster procedure time.

The benefits of combining CoolSculpting^® with EMSculpt^®

Each cosmetic procedure accomplishes a lot for a patient’s body contour in a short amount of time. However, when they’re combined the process is faster and even more successful. Regions of the body that are treated are not only more toned and slim, but the results tend to last longer. Since they’re nonsurgical, EMSculpt^® body contouring and fat reduction and CoolSculpting fat reduction sessions can be completed without interrupting daily schedules.

Gone are the days of spending countless hours in the gym and phases of dieting to achieve an ideal body shape. CoolSculpting and EMSculpt® make accomplishing your ideal look in a much easier and less time-consuming way. If you have any questions about these procedures or any others that we offer at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, call our office at 404-256-4457. Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter for more information about our dermatological procedures and updates on our monthly cosmetic specials.

Most Popular Skin Care Treatments in 2017

CoolSculpting, Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery News, Dermatology News, Facial Rejuvenation, Skin Care, Wrinkle Treatments atlanta dermatologists, Atlanta skin care treatments, best facial treatments for aging skin, laser hair removal, latest skin treatments, most common skin treatments, what were the most popular skin treatments in 2017

As we tell patients every day at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, each person has their own unique list of cosmetic concerns and their own treatment regimen that fits their needs. Still, there are definite trends that appear in the skin care world, and it’s interesting to see the pattern of how various treatments rise and fall. One particularly reliable source for this information is the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, who conducts a nationwide survey each year to find out the most popular cosmetic treatments throughout the country, then releases those statistics publicly. Based on their data, these were the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments in 2017:

#1: Botox® or Dysport® Injections

Botox® and Dysport® are essentially two different companies’ versions of the same product. They are both injected into precise facial muscles to relax and smooth these muscles. This reduces fine lines like “crow’s feet,” frown lines, and forehead creases caused from repeated expressions and constant movement.

#2: Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (including Restylane® and Juvéderm®)

While some wrinkles can be treated by relaxing the underlying muscles, other wrinkles (like those around the mouth and nose) are best treated with facial fillers. Hyaluronic acid is the most common material used for these fillers, and when injected into an area, the liquid filler “fills in” the wrinkles and creates a more youthful look. Some hyaluronic acid facial fillers can also be used to restore youthful volume under the eyes, in the tear troughs, and in the cheeks.

#3: Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

As a non-surgical alternative to liposuction (not an alternative to weight loss), non-surgical fat reduction reduces fat in targeted, specific areas to give the body a slimmer, more defined contour. At Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, we offer a variety of fat reduction choices, including CoolSculpting®, UltraShape®, BodyFX™, and our newest technology EMSculpt®.

#4: Hair Removal

While shaving, waxing, sugaring, and plucking can remove unwanted hair, the temporary results make for a time-consuming (and sometimes expensive) upkeep regimen. That’s why long-term hair removal with laser treatments or electrolysis is so high up on the list of popular procedures.

#5: Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a versatile treatment that reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and more. The procedure uses a customized solution that penetrates the skin and helps your body exfoliate away damaged surface skin, revealing brighter, younger skin beneath.

#6: Photo Rejuvenation, or IPL

Intense pulsed light, or IPL, is also known as photo rejuvenation because it uses non-ablative light to break up age spots or other unwanted pigmentation while also stimulated collagen to tighten the skin.

#7: Microdermabrasion

While traditional dermabrasion is rare, microdermabrasion (and similar treatments like the SilkPeel® we offer at our on-site Skin Medics™ Medical Spa) is still going strong. This minimally invasive treatment “buffs” away dead skin cells and damaged surface skin to reduce acne, scarring, age spots, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.

#8: Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Cosmetic surgery might be the best option for people with severe sagging skin, but for patients who just want to lift and tighten, non-surgical skin tightening can do this with little or no recovery time using treatments like Ultherapy®, Infini™, and Fractora™.

#9: Fractionated Laser Skin Resurfacing

As with dermabrasion, traditional laser skin resurfacing has primarily been replaced by a less invasive yet still highly successful alternative, fractionated laser resurfacing. This treatment uses small laser columns to create tiny treatment zones that spread their rejuvenating effects over the entire area.

#10: Sculptra® Injections

On the surface, Sculptra® looks similar to the hyaluronic acid fillers we mentioned earlier, but it is slightly different. Instead of just using a synthetic filler to create volume, Sculptra® uses a special formula to stimulate collagen production in the area, letting the body produce more lasting volume.

The treatments above are all options that have given thousands of patients great results, so they’re all worth considering. To find out the best way to treat your specific cosmetic needs, schedule an appointment with Dermatology Associates of Atlanta or check out our events page for our monthly Cosmetic Day and other savings opportunities.

What’s the Difference Between CoolSculpting® and Other Types of Nonsurgical Fat Reduction?

CoolSculpting, Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery News, Liposuction / Fat Transfer Atlanta CoolSculpting fat reduction, Atlanta non-surgical liposuction, body contouring Atlanta, fat reduction Atlanta, who does coolsculpting in Atlanta

Unwanted fat plagues nearly all of us to some level, and at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, we help patients with this issue on a daily basis. While we all know the basic steps toward losing weight, the solution is a bit trickier for people with stubborn bulges but no extra weight to lose. In this case, the specific fat cells need to be targeted directly, and unfortunately, diet and exercise often doesn’t do the job. The good news, though, is that cosmetic surgery isn’t always necessary thanks to non-surgical treatments like CoolSculpting®.

CoolSculpting® fat reduction uses targeted cooling to eliminate about 20% of the fat cells in your targeted area, working with your body’s natural processes to clear the fat away and give you slimmer contours. But it’s far from the only way to get these results non-surgically. At Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, we offer four unique treatments for nonsurgical fat reduction, and the chart below compares them all.

CoolSculpting®, UltraShape®, BodyFX™, and Kybella® open the door for patients who want a sculpted physique without the recovery time and expense of liposuction. To find which one may be the best option for you, schedule a consultation at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta. To keep up with new treatments, special offers, and more, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, too.

Your Options for Body Contouring

Articles/Features, CoolSculpting, Liposuction / Fat Transfer, New Technologies, Science/Technology Atlanta body contouring, Atlanta fat reduction, Atlanta fat removal, atlanta liposuction, dermatologist Georgia

Who doesn’t wish they could just make unwanted fat vanish from one “problem area” or another? At Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, we’re big proponents of diet and exercise as the best way to reach and maintain a healthy weight. The problem, though, is that you can’t choose where your body loses fat from, so you can be perfectly healthy and fit while still having stubborn pockets of fat dragging your self-confidence down. If you’re happy with your weight but you’re not so crazy about your shape, modern medicine has plenty of help to offer.

At DAA, we offer four different options for body contouring, ranging from an enhanced version of traditional liposuction to entirely non-invasive procedures (meaning there are no incisions or injections). To help you compare, below is an overview of the fat reduction treatments we offer: BodyFX™, CoolSculpting®, UltraShape®, and liposuction with SlimLipo™.

For some patients, the most difficult part of becoming confident in their appearance is figuring out which treatment option is best for them. But rest assured, you don’t need to make the decision on your own. Get started with a fat reduction consultation at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, which one of our licensed and experienced providers can explain your options and recommend the procedure that is best suited to your goals. If you’re looking for more answers about the many general and cosmetic dermatology services we offer, from detecting and treating skin cancer to Botox® injections, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.
