Are You a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting in Jacksonville?

CoolSculpting® in Jacksonville is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses cooling technology to target and destroy fat cells beneath the skin. We offer this technology to individuals who want to avoid liposuction and other surgery-based body contouring procedures that entail prolonged downtime. The list below explains some of the qualities of good candidates for CoolSculpting®.

You Are Near Your Ideal Weight

All body contouring procedures, both surgical and non-invasive, require that you’re near your ideal weight or at least very close to your recommended body weight. Take note that CoolSculpting® only targets the superficial fat beneath the skin; this is known for its stubborn nature, as some people are not able to get rid of it with regular exercise and diet. After all, this type of fat, primarily how it’s distributed around the body, is determined by your genes and not your lifestyle. Meanwhile, no fat reduction treatment can address the deep visceral fat, which is tied to obesity. This fat only responds to weight loss through lower-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

You Live a Healthy Lifestyle

The results of CoolSculpting® in Jacksonville are designed to be permanent. Once the body has flushed out the dead fat cells, it will not create new ones, provided that you maintain a healthy weight or at least avoid substantial weight gain.

You Have Stubborn Fat That Won’t Go Away

CoolSculpting® has been FDA-approved to target stubborn fat cells in various areas.

You Have Small Pockets of Fat

CoolSculpting® in Jacksonville is great for individuals who want to get rid of their small pockets of fat.

You’re Not Pregnant

Pregnancy causes changes in the body, including its fat distribution, and so any body contouring treatment is best postponed.

Try CoolSculpting® in Jacksonville

CoolSculpting® might be an excellent non-surgical alternative to liposuction, which entails the use of anesthesia, days of recovery, and special post-op measures. One of the best things about CoolSculpting® is that it entails no actual downtime. You can resume your social and employment activities the same day as your treatment.

What Happens During the Treatment?

When you come in for the treatment, the affected area will be numbed. The length of your treatment may vary depending on your personal needs.

How Soon After the Treatment Will I See Results?

What to Expect From Laser Hair Removal in Jacksonville

When looking for an effective method of hair removal, some find that waxing, threading, razors, and depilatory creams get the job done. However, methods like waxing can leave ingrown hairs while also being a harsh process. People that are fed up with shaving and waxing have found that light-based methods like laser hair removal in Jacksonville are favorable to traditional methods.

After treatment, most of the hair is reduced, and the hair that remains is thinner and less noticeable. The results are not always permanent, but patients will only need a maintenance session as needed to keep on top of it. It can be expected to attain effective results after a series of treatment sessions.

Precision

The laser targets deep down at the follicle and depending on the areas being treated, patients can see some results after the first few sessions. Lasers produce a single precise wavelength of light that will go deeper than other light-based methods. The laser can give a concentrated blast of light straight to the follicle and targets individual hairs rather than a large group at once. Therefore, light-based hair removal provides one of the most precise methods of hair removal to date.

Cost

Laser hair removal is the quickest and most efficient form of hair removal. It might cost more per treatment upfront, but after the set of treatments, patients will save money and time that would otherwise be spent on other methods.

Skin and Hair Types

The precision that lasers provide allows pinpoint targeting on the hair follicle. This method can benefit various skin tones without overheating the skin. Colors of hair also absorb light differently. This is because of the amount of pigment they contain. The more pigment hair contains, the easier and faster it can be removed with laser treatments.

Treatment and Hair Removal

Unlike waxing, shaving, or other methods, there is no need for surface hair for laser removal. In contrast, it is encouraged to shave before your session. Not only will laser hair removal in Jacksonville not cause painful ingrown hairs, but it can also treat them. Minimal side effects are another advantage of laser hair removal in Jacksonville.

3 Unexpected Causes of Sensitive Skin

DIY skincare is hot right now, and for good reason. Your face is one of the first things that others take note of, and a skincare regimen to protect your youthful glow is one way to make a great first impression. One of the major downsides to DIY skincare is increasing the sensitivity of the skin. This can be caused by trying out a wide range of skincare products that work for others but not for you. Not only can this get expensive, it can cause serious damage to your skin. Don’t end up with sensitive skin — make an appointment at Laser Skin Solutions Jacksonville first.

Dermatologists and aestheticians go through formal schooling to learn about the skin, common (and not-so-common) skin problems, and different methods of treating it. While an internet forum might be able to give some broad guidelines as to skincare routines, you might also get some very bad advice — and even cause your skin to become more sensitive! Below are three of the most common causes of sensitive skin and how to avoid them.

Overly Harsh Chemicals

One of the biggest problems with DIY skincare is the idea that “more is more.” More active ingredients are better, right? Not necessarily. Many people fall into this pitfall, mixing powerful chemical exfoliants with daily physical exfoliants in the morning and the evening. Exfoliants are designed to strip off the outer layer of dead skin, revealing the fresh new skin below – but if you over-exfoliate, you’ll start rubbing the skin off faster than your body can regenerate it. This can cause sensitivity to other products as well as to the sun. Consult with Dr. Lezaic in order to find a skincare regimen that’s right for you.

Not Wearing Sunscreen

Avoiding sunscreen is one of the most common sensitive skin causes, and it can also be dangerous. Our experts recommend applying SPF 30 sunscreen every day you plan to be outside, even if you’re just walking between your parking lot and your office building – and increasing the SPF for days you plan to spend an extended amount of time outdoors. Sunlight literally burns your skin, and even minor sunburns can cause skin to become more sensitive. Always use sunscreen, no matter what.

Dry Skin

Yes, that’s right – skin that is too dry can become more sensitive than skin that is properly hydrated. As skin dries out, it can no longer protect its nerve endings adequately, causing greater sensitivity. An over-the-counter moisturizer might do the trick, but you should schedule an appointment with our professionals to discover what is right for you.

In order to ensure that you’re getting the best care for your skin, contact the professionals at Laser Skin Solutions Jacksonville before starting any skincare routine. Dr. Lezaic and our team offer Obagi products to soothe sensitive skin — no matter the cause. So why wait? Contact our office today to schedule a consultation and see if Obagi is right for you!
