If your dimpled thighs ever stopped you from wearing a short skirt or caused you to keep your cover-up on at the pool, you’re not alone: 90% of women have cellulite. Ladies, the quest to get rid of cellulite IS OVER!
The evolution of the wrinkle filler has led to an amazingly effective product called Sculptra. But Sculptra is not a wrinkle filler, it’s a volumizer. It replaces the natural volume (fat) loss that occurs as we age.
WHAT IS SCULPTRA?
Sculptra is a FDA-cleared dermal filler used for treatment of facial volume loss. Made with poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra replaces lost collagen and works well to reduce pockets and wrinkles on the face. This product has been widely used around the world since 1999 and the treatment has been performed on over 200,000 patients in more than 30 countries.
With a series of treatments over several months, Sculptra is injected directly into the affected area. Gradually, it stimulates collagen and fills out the depleted tissue. Results of Sculptra can last as long as 2-5 years. Eventually, the product is harmlessly absorbed by your body.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Increase Volume
Watch as Sculptra is injected into the buttocks for a fuller appearance. Sculptra is a dermal filler that is commonly used for the face and can be used for other areas of the body including the buttocks. This filler can add desired volume to the buttocks and it stimulates the body’s natural collagen production over time for fuller effects. Results can last up to 2 years depending on each patient.
Smooth Cellulite
We fill in the dimples and creases associated with the cellulite with injections. The correction is seen immediately but that subsides rather quickly because it is mostly saline. Over the next several weeks, collagen is gradually built up from the PLLA injected, and the cellulite appearance improves. Severe laxity and “cottage cheese” of the skin is not correctable.
AFTER THE TREATMENT
After your cellulite treatment, we will send you home with instructions for post-operative care. Please follow instructions carefully and feel free to ask questions after your appointment. If necessary, we’ll schedule any recommended follow-up treatments before you are discharged.
A Sculptra treatment may cause initial side effects like minor bruising, bleeding, swelling, or bumps. We also perform a quick massage of the treated area, so the product is evenly distributed. If you are concerned about Sculptra side effects, please ask for more details during your consultation.
BioCitrin is a combination of Garcinia Cambogia and Chromium. These ingredients have been shown to be beneficial in aiding in weight reduction.
What is Garcinia Cambogia?
Garcinia Cambogia is a dual action organic supplement. This means, aside from functioning as an appetite suppressant, it is also considered a ‘fat burner’. It’s oxidizes the fat cells through the utilization of ant-oxidants, suppling more energy for the body.
What is Chromium?
Chromium is a trace mineral that plays an important role in metabolism and other functions of the body. It is found naturally in foods such as mushrooms, yeast, whole grains, live and broccoli. A deficiency of Chromium in the diet can impair the body’s ability to maintain proper blood sugar levels.
Does Chromium Work?
Chromium reduces sugar and carbohydrate cravings thereby helping to regulate hunger. It also suppresses the appetite, which is how it can help lead to weight loss. It also plays a factor in maintaining blood glucose levels.
How Much Weight Loss Will Chromium Give Me?
Studies show that you need the best diet and exercise plan tailored to you, in order to have the most weight loss with Chromium.
