Nothing is better than setting out for vacation or social events secure in the knowledge that you look your very best. If you’re looking for a refresh but you’re not ready for plastic surgery, today’s minimally invasive medical aesthetics treatments can deliver results you’ll love without the risks and recovery time of surgery.
Let’s take a closer look at three such treatments available at Carl N. Williams, Jr. M.D. Hand and Plastic Surgery that work very differently to create beautiful, natural-looking results. When you’re ready to explore any of these in greater detail, we welcome you to come in for a consultation with our team.
Microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy is one of the most impressive minimally invasive treatment options available. It works by using tiny sterile treatment needles to create miniscule channels into the deeper layers of your skin.
Your body responds by launching a strong healing reaction, creating new collagen and elastin that tightens and plumps the skin. Treatments can also improve hyperpigmentation, roughly textured skin, acne scarring, and dull skin.
Incorporating radiofrequency energy into microneedling treatments further boosts new cell development, leading to even more pronounced improvements. Dr. Williams uses the Scarlet® RF and Agnes® RF platforms. Both deliver outstanding results, and the Agnes system allows practitioners to customize the level of radiofrequency energy.
Many people report immediate improvement in their skin after RF microneedling, but the full results won’t develop until months after your sessions. That’s why spring is such a great time to get started.
One of the most transformative minimally invasive treatment options is Fraxel skin resurfacing. It’s a laser treatment that offers two different wavelengths of light, one that targets the outer layers of your skin and one that penetrates into the deeper layers.
Fraxel treatments create precisely controlled heat in the targeted skin layers. The platform uses advanced cooling technology to keep the surface of your skin at a safe and comfortable temperature during treatment.
Your body reacts to the laser by building new collagen and elastin, creating smoother, tighter skin across the treatment area. Fraxel blasts apart areas of concentrated pigmentation, eliminating freckles, age, spots, and sun damage. It can also help smooth acne scarring and other types of scars on the face and body.
Results develop gradually as your body builds new tissue, improves circulation, and processes excess pigment and cell debris, revealing a more youthful appearance. Those close to you will notice these improvements, but you won’t have an overdone or stretched look.
Do you struggle with extra fullness in the skin beneath your chin? This is one of the most common complaints that bring patients to our practice. One way to reduce this fullness is with Kybella, an FDA-approved injectable that targets submental fat that makes you look older or heavier.
This in-office treatment session typically takes about 20 minutes, and the synthetic deoxycholic acid safely and effectively breaks down fat cells. Most patients see best results with 2-4 Kybella treatments, about one month apart. Our team can tell you how many treatments you need to reach your goals.
If you’re thinking of giving yourself the ultimate spring renewal, we offer a number of minimally invasive treatments to choose from. The first step is setting up a time to come in and meet with the team at Carl N. Williams, Jr. M.D. Hand and Plastic Surgery.
