Can you help me get rid of my double chin? We offer two state-of-the-art, nonsurgical ways to treat submental fullness (a/k/a the “double chin”). The first is the Cool Mini applicator from CoolSculpting, a non-invasive procedure that uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells without damaging skin. Each treatment takes about 45 minutes and results are typically achieved in one or two treatments. After the treatment, you can resume normal activities immediately. The other non-surgical treatment we utilize to combat double chins is Kybella. This involves an injection of deoxycholic acid, which is a molecule found in the body that naturally aids in the breakdown of dietary fat. Each treatment takes about 15-20 minutes and most patients see results with two to four treatments. We also offer traditional liposuction and can help you decide which treatment is best for you during the consultation process. Schedule a consultation today – call 301-968-1200.
I would like to have a skin resurfacing treatment done, but I can’t take a lot of time off work. Can you help? Yes! We offer Halo, the world’s first and only hybrid fractional laser. Halo produces wonderful results without the downtime associated with typical skin resurfacing lasers. Over time, your skin can lose its youthful glow due to sun exposure and your body’s natural aging process. Previous lasers couldn’t effectively remove this damage because they were either too shallow or too deep. Halo eliminates years of damage by precisely targeting the right depth to restore the luminous glow you used to have. With Halo, we can treat a variety of skin conditions including discoloration, sun damage, melasma, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, scars, fine lines and other visible signs of aging. We address each patient’s specific needs and customize a treatment plan accordingly. Schedule a consultation today – call 301-968-1200.
