Coolsculpting<\/h3>\n

<\/div>\n
Coolsculpt is one of the common forms of body contouring that uses a cooling device to treat targeted areas all over the body like the chin, arms, core, thighs, and face.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cCoolSculpting quotes about a 20 to 25% reduction after a treatment... The endpoint is that the patient is happy with what they've achieved,\u201d says Dr. Samra.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Samra works with his patients to develop a CoolSculpting treatment plan that\u2019s tailored to their body and goals.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to Dr. Samra, Coolsculpting is more of a targeted spot treatment, \u201cyou can zone in on those spots with the CoolSculpting. If you were talking about someone\u2019s lower abdomen, you would probably be talking about, four to five spots.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWith CoolSculpting, there was some feedback that the treatment is uncomfortable or once the applicator comes off a massage is uncomfortable,\u201d he adds. Recovery is minimal with temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, and pain. While patients can expect to see results in 1-3 months.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Vanquish<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cVanquish is a noninvasive, non-contact fat-melting tool and it essentially uses radiofrequency as its energy source to generate heat in the fatty layer, otherwise known as the subcutaneous layer. The heat raises to a particular temperature threshold to preferentially damage the fat cells,\u201d says Dr. Samra. Vanquish is used predominantly on the abdomen, flanks, and back.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe biggest difference when comparing something like Vanquish to CoolSculpting is the fact that Vanquish can treat a larger area in a given spot,\u201d he adds.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Vanquish can treat hip to hip with one applicator. According to Dr. Samra, most patients did not feel any pain.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Vanquish system requires a series of 45-minute treatments administered weekly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe usual rule of thumb is that it takes about a week after a treatment to see anything. Now the important caveat with that is you are getting treatments back-to-back... So I would say to you that it usually takes about three to four weeks to see what Vanquish can do from any given treatment. Some patients may see results as early as three weeks after their first treatment, most patients can expect to see results a few weeks after their final treatment.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Ultherapy<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
While Ultherapy is not a fat eliminator, it is a lifting and tightening treatment. Ultherapy is typically used for face and neck treatment, but it is also used for body treatments in an effort to tighten or lift areas, whether it be done on the arms or, the upper buttock or even on the abdomen.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cUltherapy uses ultrasound to heat up the layers below the skin\u2026 There is skin, which is the epidermis and dermis, and then there is subcutaneous tissue, which is the fat underneath it. And then there's something called the fascial layer and that is the layer that is targeted by Ultherapy. The ultrasound is heating up that fascia. That heat energy or injury results in a kind of prompt to the body to fix it or heal it and as it heals, there's a tightening effect,\u201d says Dr. Samra.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Samra says Ultherapy, is usually a one-time treatment and results can be seen in 3-6 months.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Minimally Invasive Body Contouring:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

\u00a0Kybella\u00ae<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
Kybella is an injectable that destroys fat cells under the chin, permanently, using Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cKybella is a medication that is comprised of an enzyme that has been synthesized to basically emulate what bile does\u2026 Bile breaks down the fat in the food that we eat\u2026 So Kybella is like synthetic bile and it can be injected just about anywhere in the body to dissolve fat. Its FDA initial clearance was in the under the chin fat or the submental area, but despite that, it\u2019s used, in the bra fat area and the abdomen, banana roll, so on and so forth,\u201d says Dr. Samra.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The treatment for Kybella is done in the office, and uses multiple injections in the desired treatment area.\u00a0 Since a solution is injected into the area, there is a significant amount of inflammation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI always tell my patients that they're going to look worse before they look better,\u201d he adds.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The treatment gets repeated every 4 to 6 weeks for about 3 to 4 times, and it usually takes 6 weeks to see results after a treatment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Liposuction & Assisted Liposuction<\/div>\n
This type of body contouring is a little more invasive Dr. Samra explains how it works.<\/div>\n
\u201cSo, liposuction means you make a stab incision, put numbing medication in, and then suck the fat out. That\u2019s what liposuction means.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThen any form of \u2018blank-assisted\u2019 liposuction means that before you start sucking the fat out you're going to do something else to the fat,\u201d Dr. Samra continues. Laser-assisted lipo helps to melt the fat, cauterize the blood vessels, minimize bruising, prevent post-surgery inflammation, and encourage skin contraction.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Liposuction & Fat grafting<\/h3>\n

<\/div>\n
Via liposuction fat can be harvested to transfer to different areas of the body including the breast, buttocks, and even the face. Fat can be harvested from virtually any place in the body. Using Renuva, an injectable combined with your own donated fat, lets a professional like Dr. Samra\u00a0create\u00a0<\/em>the body you are looking for.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cRenuva is a product that\u2019s created from donated fat, that fat is processed and they collect these growth factors. Growth factors are chemicals that tell cells what to do. This concentrated growth factor matrix is now injected... into the fatty layer and stimulates that growth,\u201d says Dr. Samra. According to Dr. Samra Renuva can last in the body, on average from 7 to 10 years.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is a less invasive way to lose inches on any part of your body and create a figure simultaneously via an injectable.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another innovative and new injectable used to lift, and can be used with or without Renuva and lipo is Sculptra which stimulants collagen production. \u201cThe idea of combining them is to have, number one, a duel action collagen creation and fat creation,\u201d he adds.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Samra would recommend these options for patients who are not seeking immediate change, because both Renuva and Sculptra have to be injected every 4 to 6 weeks until the desired results are achieved.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Samra says its important to remember, not every treatment is for everyone, and choosing which method to use is dependant on a few things, like cost, body type, time-frame and patient goals, and will always have to be a conversation with the patient and physician to determine the best course of treatment.<\/div>\n
