PRP Facial rejuvenation.

Posted on August 22, 2019 at 7:02 pm by Dr. Monica Gavin / 0

A more natural way to look young Do you stare in the mirror and simply look TIRED? Facial lines and wrinkles appear more prevalent than ever and your face seems as if it is actually drooping! As we age, we start to lose elasticity in our skin due to the breakdown of collagen. Collagen is the latticework like structure that supports our skin and keeps it smooth, tight and youthful. For the past few decades, surgery was the most effective option. However, today several new, and less invasive, procedures are gaining popularity and producing amazing results! With our culture seeking out more natural and holistic approaches to looking younger, the PRP facial rejuvenation procedure has become a very popular treatment across the country. What is PRP? PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. PRP is part of your blood and contains healing growth factors that can improve skin tone, texture, and tightness by stimulating…

Radiofrequency for cellulite and skin tightening

Posted on May 11, 2019 at 6:23 pm by Dr. Monica Gavin / 0

How wonderful it would be to have youthful, firm skin again! If you wake up in the morning and see fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin that weren’t there before, you’re noticing the signs of aging. Luckily, there are certain ways to make the clock slow down just a bit and help you get the tighter, smoother skin you dream of. Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is one such option. Radiofrequency skin tightening is a non-surgical treatment that can tighten up loose skin, reducing wrinkles, sags and cellulite. Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening uses an electrical current. The current in this type of treatment is similar to things you use every day — like wifi and the microwave — and it’s very safe. So how do those radiofrequency waves make it happen? RF skin tightening is all about collagen. When you get medical radiofrequency treatment, the energy from the electrical current heats…

Extra weight & bulges? Top 4 things to do

Posted on April 1, 2019 at 5:53 pm by Dr. Monica Gavin / 0

If you need to lose 15 or more pounds, the best thing is to do the HCG Medical weight loss diet. It is a calorie restrictive diet with the help of HCG hormone to curve appetite and control hunger. Most female patients lose 15 to 20 pounds in 6 weeks and most male patients lose 20 to 30 pounds in 6 weeks. If you are carrying 5 to 7 extra pounds mostly in one area like the abdomen, thighs or love handles, then liposuction of those areas is the treatment of choice. In order to get aggressive in removing the fat for best results, the procedure should be performed by a plastic surgeon under heavy sedation. Otherwise the patient cannot tolerate the procedure and the results are poor. If you have ideal body weight and a small bulge that exercise will not get rid of, then either Coolsculpting or Mesotherapy…
