How Coolsculpting Works Cool Sculpting uses advanced cooling technology to freeze targeted fat cells to death. This process is known as Cryolipolysis. During your fat freezing treatment, a patented applicator is placed over a stubborn fat deposit. The applicator then draws subcutaneous fat cells up towards the surface of the skin while exposing the bulge to precisely controlled cooling.¹ The applicators advanced design and sophisticated cooling mechanism “freezes” the underlying fat cells while protecting the surrounding skin and tissue. Frozen fat cells rupture, triggering a biological response to clean up the destroyed fat cells. Over the course of several weeks, the lymphatic system collects the frozen fat cells and processes them from the body in the form of waste.² This leads to a noticeable reduction in fat and a skinnier, more sculpted appearance.

Microneedling Microneedling, also known as Percutaneous Collagen Induction (PCI), is an award winning treatment for its ability to rejuvenate the skin. Your skin can look visibly firmer after just one treatment. And it addresses more than just fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling Restores a More Beautiful Complexion Considered to be one of the most effective and easiest ways to restore younger-looking skin, microneedling is also minimally-invasive and chemical free. The treatment uses tiny needles to create microscopic punctures or openings in the skin. Doing so triggers a healing response from the skin, promotes collagen production and the release of the body’s natural growth factors. These growth factors will then heal the skin – enabling wrinkles, scars, and other blemishes to fade. The SKINovative Difference In order to ensure the best possible results are achieved, SKINovative uses the best-in-class microneedling device… the amiea med EXCEED. maiea med EXCEED The EXCEED is an automated microneedling device that offers advanced precision and control during treatment, and clinically proven results.

Experience Celebrity Quality Skin One of the biggest advantages of microneedling with EXCEED is that is it suitable for all skin types.

Specifically, you can experience: Noticeably smoother skin Tightening of the skin A more even skin tone Improvement in the texture of the skin Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles Improved and reduced appearance of acne scars Minimized pore size Measured Results Achieved with amiea med EXCEED Measured Wrinkle Improvements Achieved with amiea med Exceed What Is the Secret? The EXCEED microneedling device features hair-thin needles to create tiny and precise punctures in the area of skin being treated. These small punctures in the skin cause the body to release natural growth factors that are then transported to the surface of the skin where the microneedling occurred to start the rejuvenation process. During this rejuvenation process the skin will generate new collagen and elastisin which is what gives the skin firmness and youthful elasticity. This regeneration also targets the repair of deep scars, wrinkles, large pores and discoloration. An additional benefits of microneedling with EXCEED is that the treatment can be adjusted to different depths to address individual skin concerns safely and more effectively. Your SKINovative esthetician has the ability to target deep wrinkles just as safely as targeting more delicate areas such as the crows feet around the eyes during the same treatment. Results In As Little As One Treatment Although it is most commonly used to treat the face, the effectiveness of the treatment is well documented anywhere on the body including hands, décolletage, abdomen and more. Visible results from microneedling wit EXCEED can often be seen after the first treatment including noticeably plumper, and more luminous skin. Depending on each individuals unique skin factors such as area of treatment, age, and skin type most patients will require additional treatments to achieve optimal results.

A Safe, Affordable, Non-Surgical Face Lift ultherapy_logoLooking for a lift for your loose, saggy skin? Ultherapy may be just the solution! For details on a complete non-surgical face lift, please visit our Non-Surgical Face Lift page. What is Ultherapy? Ultherapy is a non-surgical lifting procedure for the face and neck that uses tried-and-true ultrasound technology to gradually strengthen your skin from deep within. In less than an hour – and with little-to-no downtime – you could be well on your way to tighter, better-fitting skin. *Individual Results May Vary How is Ultherapy different from other cosmetic procedures? Ultherapy is the only non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the growth of new collagen deep within the skin. The production of new collagen occurs over time, so results may become more apparent over three to six months. The procedure takes only about an hour for most patients, and there is little-to-no downtime. It also is the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows us to actually see the layers of tissue we target during the treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely to where it will be most effective. Does it hurt? A recent software upgrade called “Ultherapy Amplify” now affords a more comfortable procedure. While comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient, most patients now report that the procedure is quite tolerable. If and when any discomfort does occur, it happens while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. This sensation is temporary and is a positive signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. We take measures to make the experience as pleasant as possible, and patients tell us they leave comfortable and excited about the benefits to come. *Individual experiences may vary How long does it last? Patients treated with Ultherapy may still have fresh young collagen after a year’s time following the procedure, but skin continues to age. Future touch-up treatments can help keep pace with the aging process, which varies by individual. Are there any side effects? There may be slight redness for up to an hour or so following the treatment, and a small percentage of patients may have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature. How much does it cost? Patients can have areas treated for as little as $500. Depending on areas being treated cost will vary and this is why we offer FREE ULTHERAPY consults.

Hormone Replacement Therapy – Feel Balanced Again Hormone Therapy – Feel Balanced AgainHormone imbalance can create a whole array of unpleasant symptoms for women as well as men. These symptoms include mood swings, weight gain, exhaustion, depression and hair loss, to mention a few. Although the main culprit of hormone imbalance is the natural aging process, nutrition and lifestyle habits also contribute to the lack of production of hormones in the body. Fortunately, there is a way to balance your hormones to more normal levels. It’s called SottoPelle® Therapy. What Is SottoPelle Therapy? SottoPelle logoSottoPelle® therapy is a highly effective form of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) developed and refined by internationally recognized leader in the field of bioidentical hormones, Dr. Gino Tutera. A board certified OB/GYN, Dr. Tutera opened his first PMS clinic in 1982 and since then, has specialized in treating hormone imbalances. Dr. Tutera’s years of research lead to the creation of SottoPelle therapy. Unlike traditional BHRT, this treatment method is based on prescribing a customized dose of hormones for each patient, administered through the most effective hormone delivery system. The SottoPelle dosage management system takes into account the patients physical and emotional manifestations, as well as, lab evaluation; which are then entered into a formula that effectively calculates the exact needed dosage for your body. SottoPelle therapy uses the most effective hormone delivery system… pellets, which deliver the hormones directly into your bloodstream. Are Bioidentical Hormones Safe? Bioidentical hormones have been available since 1935 and their effectiveness to treat a variety of hormonal disorders have been documented for decades. Numerous studies indicated that women with menopausal symptoms — including surgically induced medical menopause — should consider hormone replacement. Bioidentical hormones are plant-based compounds. They are referred to as bioidentical because their molecular structure mimic the hormones that are naturally produced in your body. Although the SottoPelle method of administration of bioidentical hormones are pellets, other delivery methods exist, including: sublingual drops or pills (under the tongue) creams (rub into skin like a lotion) injection (shot form) At SKINovative, the pellet therapy is used exclusively because it is less likely to cause the “roller coaster” effect brought on by other hormone delivery methods. The Ideal Hormone Delivery System Getting the right amount of hormones to the body, exactly when the body requires them is complex. Creams, pills and patches are unable to deliver consistent amounts of hormones throughout the day mimicking how the body naturally delivers hormones. Each pellet is produced at a compounding pharmacy and is customized to meet your needs. The pellet is designed to release hormones slowly and throughout the day. Each pellet is approximately the size of a grain of rice, and is inserted under the skin. For women pellet placement is usually once every 3 to 4 months and for men every 6 months. When pellets are used in patients, the pellet is inserted into the fatty tissue, which allows the hormones to be introduced directly into the bloodstream, without having to go through the skin or digestive system. Because your body’s circulation regulates how the pellet dissolves, the dose will be constant and will be available as you need it. Who Is A Candidate For Bioidentical Hormones? The symptoms of hormone deficiency are varied and many. Below are some of the more common symptoms for both men and women: mood swings or feeling irritable feeling bloated stress or feeling overwhelmed hot flashes and night sweats steady weight gain or inability to lose weight insomnia or depression fatigue or low energy low libido vaginal dryness foggy memory inability to concentrate headaches or migraines Should you and Dr. Fulton decide Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is right for you, you will receive a prescription that is customized based on your medical tests and health needs.
