At Amachi MedSpa in Marietta, GA, we strongly believe that every woman should be confident in every aspect of her life, from the boardroom to the bedroom. Unfortunately, beginning at the age of 30, the vagina begins to grow laxer. If you give vaginal birth before 30, you may experience laxity sooner. Luckily, there’s ThermiVa.

ThermiVa is a life-changing radiofrequency treatment designed to encourage collagen growth in the vaginal region. It can be used to thicken and smooth the skin, keep your vagina moist, treat sexual dysfunction, and much more. Today, we reveal signs you are a good candidate for this treatment and everything else you may need to know.

Signs You Are a Good Candidate for ThermiVa

You Suffer From Vaginal Itching and Infections

Do you suffer from chronic vaginal itching? Do you suffer from recurring vaginal infections? If you do, you may be a good candidate for ThermiVa. When your labial skin is loose, the lips of your vagina can trap bacteria and moisture. This is the perfect breeding ground for the growth and spread of infections.

Even worse, these recurring infections can lead to intense itching that can’t be treated by over-the-counter medications. If antibiotics, anti-fungal creams, or corticosteroid creams have stopped working for you, radiofrequency treatment may be your last line of defense for stopping these pesky infections.  

You Suffer From Vaginal Dryness

Vaginal dryness is one of the most common signs of aging. It is also one of the strongest signs that you are a good candidate for ThermiVa. If you are sick and tired of painful sex and personal lubricants are no longer doing their job, this radiofrequency technology is for you.

When your vaginal skin is strengthened and thickened, it both traps and produces moisture more effectively. Even better, your vaginal muscles are tightened with this treatment, meaning sex will be much more enjoyable for you, even if personal lubricants are still working for you.

You Suffer From Bladder Prolapse or Rectal Prolapse

This radiofrequency treatment is far more than an aesthetic treatment. It is also commonly used as a medical treatment for bladder and rectal prolapse. When the internal walls of your vagina become lax and lose structure, This often leads to bladder prolapse, rectal prolapse, or both. Prolapse can make completely voiding in the restroom difficult.

In the case of bladder prolapse, you may end up with bladder incontinence caused by the inability to empty your bladder when you urinate. You may find that you dribble throughout the day and suffer from recurring infections as a result. In the case of rectal prolapse, you may need to wear adult diapers.

You Suffer From Sexual Dysfunction

Another sign that you are a good candidate for this radiofrequency treatment is suffering from sexual dysfunction. Whether you have never had an orgasm before or sex has only recently become unenjoyable, this treatment will change your life for good. Because it tightens your vaginal walls, sex becomes more pleasurable for you and your partner.

This life-changing radiofrequency treatment can also increase the sensitivity of your clitoral hood, making your clitoral orgasms more frequent, powerful, and long-lasting. Don’t forget, this radiofrequency treatment can also improve sexual function and sensation by increasing natural lubrication. When you don’t have to worry about lubricants, sex can be more spontaneous.

You Suffer From Incontinence

If you suffer from incontinence, you are most likely an excellent candidate for this radiofrequency treatment. Whether you have developed female incontinence due to vaginal childbirth or aging, you will definitely benefit from a few treatments with this revolutionary radiofrequency technology.

There are several types of female incontinence and each has several potential causes. This treatment is particularly effective for treating female urinary incontinence caused by vaginal childbirth and aging. To diagnose the exact type and cause of your incontinence, please call us today at Amachi MedSpa.

You Are on Depo-Provera

While you don’t have to be on Depo-Provera to be a good candidate for this treatment, the best candidate for this treatment is a woman who is not currently menstruating. Unfortunately, some women have irregular menstrual cycles and therefore struggle to schedule their treatment.

The ideal candidate for this treatment is a woman who is dissatisfied with the appearance or function of her vagina and knows when she will not be menstruating.

You Don’t Like the Color of Your Vaginal Lips

Another incredibly compelling sign that you are a good candidate for this radiofrequency treatment is dissatisfaction with the color of your vaginal lips. Because this treatment improves blood flow to the treatment area, your labial and vulvar skin will get all the nutrients necessary to look young and healthy.

Even better, the warmth from treatment encourages the area to produce stronger, healthier collagen. Collagen promotes cellular turnover which means that the upper layers of your skin will be replaced with younger, healthier skin cells. This means that the skin in the treatment region will be and look younger, healthier, and more attractive.

You’re Afraid to Wear Yoga Pants in Public

As you age, your skin wrinkles. For some women, this happens at the age of 30 when their skin’s production rate slows dramatically. Women who consume tobacco products or alcohol may find that their skin starts to wrinkle as early as 25. Mix in bad genes and you have a recipe for disaster.

In some cases, the skin around the vagina becomes so wrinkled that women feel self-conscious wearing a bikini, skinny jeans, or even yoga pants in public. If you feel like you have to wear baggy sweat pants or thick jeans to hide wrinkles below your belt, you are the perfect candidate for this rejuvenating treatment.

You Aren’t Healthy Enough for an Invasive Procedure

Some women are self-conscious about the appearance or function of their vaginal region. Because invasive procedures are so common, they feel that an invasive procedure is the only option.

If you have considered an invasive procedure to correct the appearance or function of your vagina but you’re not healthy enough to undergo general anesthesia, you are the perfect candidate for this treatment. While we review your medical history and ensure you do not have an active STI, nearly every woman is healthy enough for this life-changing treatment.

You Have Realistic Expectations

The final sign that you are a good candidate for this treatment is that you have realistic expectations about the preparation, treatment itself, and results. If you think you could benefit from this treatment, please schedule an initial consultation so we can discuss these three things in detail with you.

Your Comprehensive Guide to ThermiVa

If you think you’re a good candidate for this radiofrequency treatment, you probably have a lot of questions about what you can expect from treatment. Today, we are giving you a brief overview of what to expect to help you determine if this is the right aesthetic or medical treatment for you.

How to Prepare for Treatment

Luckily, preparation for this treatment is incredibly easy. All you have to do is shower and shave on the morning of your treatment. When you shower, make sure you clean your vaginal area thoroughly with warm water and gentle antibacterial soap. When you shave, you don’t have to shave the mons pubis region.

The mons pubis region is the area that you can see when you are standing and facing the mirror with your legs closed. You only have to shave the vaginal lips. If you are uncomfortable with using a traditional razor, feel free to use an electric one. The important thing is that you get as clean-shaven as you can.

What to Expect During Treatment

Depending on whether you are receiving an internal treatment, external treatment, or both, your session will take between 30 and 40 minutes. While many women are afraid of treatment being painful because the vagina is so sensitive, there is absolutely no pain or discomfort.

In fact, radiofrequency treatments will like the perfect marriage of a deep tissue massage and a hot stone massage. You are free to play a mobile game, read a book, or catch up on your e-mails during treatment.

What to Expect After Treatment

After treatment, there is absolutely no pain, downtime, or recovery. You will notice immediately after treatment that your treated skin is tighter. Because there is no downtime, you are free to return to work, school, or whatever leisure activities you have scheduled for the day. More importantly, it is perfectly safe for you to have sex on the same day as your treatment.

How Long the Results Last

The duration of your results depends on several factors, including the issue you are correcting, your skin health, your lifestyle, and the overall health of your body. Some clients need to come in every nine months to a year for a follow-up treatment. Other clients only need a follow-up treatment every three to five years after their final round of initial treatments.

How Many Sessions You Will Need

Most of our clients require three rounds of initial treatment sessions. These sessions are spaced one month apart. Luckily, the results of the treatment are immediate. Therefore, if your vagina is not as tight as you would like it to be immediately after your third treatment, you can schedule a follow-up appointment before you leave our office.

We strongly encourage our clients to schedule a follow-up appointment for nine months after their final treatment. This gives you the perfect opportunity to discuss with us how satisfied you are with your results. If you feel you need a follow-up, we are more than happy to provide you with a follow-up treatment. Otherwise, you can schedule a follow-up for a few months out.

How to Extend the Results of Your Treatment

To extend the results of your treatment, you must take care of your skin health, specifically the health of your collagen. To do this, you must eat plenty of protein because collagen is a type of protein. This particular protein is responsible for keeping your skin tight, young, and lifted. In the case of your vulva and labia, your skin will look softer and smoother for longer.

In the case of your internal vaginal skin, eating plenty of bioavailable protein will keep your vagina tight and enhance pleasure during sex. It is truly amazing how a proper diet will improve your sex life and the aesthetic of your vaginal region. You can also extend the results of your treatment by staying hydrated.

Regardless of the aesthetic or medical concerns you have, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. We can’t wait to meet you.

Women have been using various forms of makeup to enhance their natural beauty since the very start of civilization. Clearly, women have always known the power of makeup. However, modern women with busy lives don’t always have the time to apply makeup, which means we’re always looking for shortcuts. At Amachi MedSpa in Marietta, GA we believe women can skip certain steps completely when they take advantage of the many benefits of permanent makeup.

How Long Does Permanent Makeup Last?

If you’re thinking about using this treatment as a way to save yourself time in front of the mirror every day, then you’re probably keen to know how long this treatment will last. After all, something that is supposed to save you time should save you time for a while.

Luckily, the longevity of permanent makeup is considerable. On average, permanent makeup can last for three to five years per treatment, and that’s three to five years of a breezy daily beauty routine!

What Causes Fading?

Although this makeup lasts for a long time, that doesn’t mean it lasts forever. In fact, depending on where the pigment is placed, some makeup fades sooner than others. For example, permanent pigment placed on the eyeline or the lash line can usually last for about one to three years, while pigment placed directly on the skin can take five years to fade.

But what is it that causes fading in the first place? We can attribute fading to a few factors, such as your skin type, your age, how well your skin reacts to pigment, the amount of sun exposure you have, and the types of products that you use on your skin. Some of these are factors that you have no control over, while others are general lifestyle choices that can shorten or extend results.

How Can You Extend Results?

Fading might be inevitable, but is there a way to extend results? Absolutely. You can take full advantage of this treatment by making certain skincare choices. For example, using the proper SPF and sun protection measures can protect your skin, and the makeup pigment in your skin, from being bleached by UV rays. Choosing the right skin products is also important, so it is important to avoid using strong acids or Retinols in your daily skincare.

Is there anything else you should know about this treatment? We’re happy to fill you in on the details.

Permanent Makeup 101

Using makeup to enhance beauty began in the ancient world, but when did permanent pigmentation begin? It’s an interesting question, and the fact is that permanent application of makeup on the face has a longer history than many would first assume. The first documented case of makeup being applied permanently on the face was in 1902 by a tattoo artist in England. Since then, applying pigment permanently to the face has evolved into the streamlined version we know today, which does not necessitate a trip to a tattoo parlor.

What Is It?

What is permanent pigmentation? Most people compare this permanent type of makeup to a tattoo, and they aren’t wrong. Traditional tattooing and tattooing makeup are similar practices that use many of the same techniques. The difference, of course, is that tattoos create artwork on the body, while tattooing makeup uses flesh-colored tones and is deliberately placed to seem natural. In fact, most people can’t tell the difference between regular makeup that has been applied to look natural and tattooed makeup that enhances your natural appearance.

How Does It Work?

When people think about tattooing makeup on the face, they tend to conjure up images that might be more at home at a tattoo parlor. However, depending on the treatment being used, your imagination probably isn’t too far off the mark. Permanently applying makeup to the face does work like traditional tattooing in the sense that it requires pigments placed into the skin by a machine-operated needle. There is some variation in the methods of applying this treatment depending on where the pigment is being placed and the intended results.

What Can It Help With?

This treatment can help with many appearance-related concerns. In fact, since this treatment is intended to enhance your appearance in a natural-looking way, there are several issues that can be corrected with this treatment, including:

• Uneven skin pigment
• Thin lips
• Pale lips
• Thin lash line
• Sparse eyebrows
• Hair loss

However, enhancing your natural appearance doesn’t have to be the only reason to seek this treatment. Many women try this treatment as a way to avoid the hassle of constantly applying makeup or checking the way makeup looks throughout the day. Treatments that provide pigment to the lash line, lip line, and the face act as a substitute for eyeliner, lipstick, and foundation, and they look natural rather than dry or oily the way traditional makeup can look.

Are There Different Types of Permanent Makeup?

Yes, there are several types of makeup that can be applied permanently. In fact, permanent makeup is something of an umbrella term that refers to cosmetic tattooing, meaning it is the placement of pigment in the skin intended for beauty rather than art. At our office, we specialize in different techniques, including:

Skin Camouflage

Skin camouflage is a technique that uses flesh-toned pigment to correct the skin complexion. You can think of skin camouflage as being equivalent to a full-coverage foundation. This treatment can be applied anywhere on the face, particularly in areas that have light spots, dark spots, sun damage, or scarring. This treatment can be immensely helpful for those who have pigment-related concerns on their skin, such as damage caused by injury, skin abnormalities, or skin diseases.

Beauty Marks

There is one trend in beauty that has been around for decades, and that is a well-placed beauty mark to enhance your appearance. Tattooing beauty marks and freckles on the face is a trend that is becoming more popular since the last decade. A beauty mark can lend an air of sensuality to a woman, while freckles can make a woman appear playful, mischievous, or even innocent. This treatment can enhance beauty marks or freckles you already have or create beauty marks and freckles where you want them.

Microblading

Microblading is another treatment that has found its popularity in the trend of having full, natural-looking eyebrows. Microblading helps enhance the shape of eyebrows as well as create a fuller effect by using a technique that mimics the way hair on the eyebrow grows. This particular treatment is ideal for women who have sparse eyebrow hairs or who would like to correct the overall shape of the brow.

Powdery Brow

Powdery brow is a treatment that is specific to our office. This treatment creates a softer, natural-looking appearance to the eyebrow by using a gentler pigment. Many patients compare this treatment to eyebrow powders, which rest lightly on the brow to make the eyebrow look fuller. Powdery brow is an ideal treatment for women who have naturally full brows but who would like a better definition to their color.

Eyeliner

Permanent eyeliner is a treatment that applies pigment to the upper and lower lash line. Applying traditional eyeliner can be hit and miss for many women, especially as all eyeliner is susceptible to smudges that are difficult to fix. Permanent eyeliner can enhance the natural shape of your eye and the thickness of your eyelashes. Depending on the shape of your eye and your appearance goals, we can explore how thin or thick we should apply the permanent eyeliner as well as the general shape of the treatment.

Lip Liner and Color

Permanent lip liner and color are two treatments that go hand in hand; the lip liner can be used to correct the appearance of thin or asymmetrical lips, while the color can enhance the natural shade of your lips to make them darker or fuller. Traditional lip liner and lipstick can be difficult to apply well and can also smudge onto your teeth or any cups you use. Permanent lip liner and color can make your lips look plush and pretty all hours of the day.

Scalp Pigmentation

Scalp pigmentation is a type of treatment that applies small hair-like pigment to any areas of your hair that are thinning, particularly around the hairline. This is a treatment that is ideal for women who are experiencing mild-to-moderate hair loss, as this treatment can make hair look thicker and mask some loss. We tend to see this treatment combined with hair transplants or other cosmetic hair treatments for the best possible results.

3D Areola

3D areola is a treatment that creates an artificial nipple with flesh-toned pigments. While this treatment is usually for those who have had a mastectomy or other breast reconstruction procedures, some women who are not satisfied with the shape or appearance of the areola also seek this as a corrective treatment.

Body Art Removal

We also offer permanent body art removal treatment. Unlike the treatments listed above, body art removal does not use a pigment. Instead, it uses a pigment removal solution that binds to pigment already in the skin to “dissolve” the pigment away. Body art removal treatment is ideal for patients who are not qualified for energy-based tattoo removal or who would prefer a gentler type of treatment. This treatment can be used on virtually any tattoo, regardless of size or depth of pigment.

Does This Treatment Interfere With Other Cosmetic Treatments?

To a certain extent, having a treatment that permanently applies pigment to the skin will interfere with future cosmetic treatments. There will be some limitations to the types of treatments you will be able to have.

For example, you might not be able to use chemical peels or certain facial treatments if you have permanent skin camouflage on the face. Some energy-based skin resurfacing treatments may also not be recommended, as some laser treatments are designed to lift all types of pigment from the skin. There may also be some products that you are not allowed to use, such as Retinol-based skincare.

Are You an Ideal Candidate?

The majority of patients who are interested in this treatment are good candidates. Prospective patients who are qualified for this treatment include those who do not have a current skin disease, allergies to the pigments used for treatment, and who are not satisfied with their overall appearance. You may be an ideal candidate if you want to:

• Enhance your natural beauty
• Correct pigment loss
• Have fuller eyebrows or lips
• Create beauty marks or artificial nipples
• Remove other tattoos

We all have those days when our skin doesn’t look its best. It could be a lack of sleep from the night before or just a rushed makeup job. If you find your skin is having consistent bad days, it’s time to consult a professional. Call Amachi Med Spa in Marietta, GA and ask to book a HydraFacial.

What Is the HydraFacial?

This treatment has taken the aesthetic world by storm because of its versatility, safety and the results it’s getting clients all over the world. It uses hydra dermabrasion as opposed to the traditional microdermabrasion we’re all used to. Instead of using crystals to blast the top layer of your skin off, it uses water for a gentler experience. This is a patented and branded treatment that has a distinct three-step process that uses its exclusive Vortex technology.

It’s an all-in-one treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extractions and hydration in one, 30-minute facial. The Vortex technology is a system where different tips are used during different parts of the facial to elicit a response from or deliver a solution to the skin.

Step One: Cleanse & Peel

When you first arrive, your skincare specialist will manually cleanse your skin. This ensures the facial begins on a clean and smooth complexion to get the best results. The Vortex machine is turned on, and you will receive the hydra dermabrasion. A stream of water will break up the top layer of dead skin cells. The same nozzle will lift those cells and any debris away from the skin.

It then delivers a chemical peel solution in the same way. This exfoliates on a deeper level but without the sting and redness usually associated with a chemical peel. Now your skin is clean and exfoliated. The chemical peel has been delivered, and it has softened your pores and everything in them.

Step Two: Extract & Hydrate

We have a love-hate relationship with the extraction part of regular facials. We love ridding our pores of all the gunk that builds up but, well, they hurt! They can also cause your skin to be red and splotchy for a while. The extractions made with the Vortex-Extraction tool are painless.

This extraction is made even easier by the debris-loosening formula delivered during the process. Hydration is next. Now that your pores are clean and softened, the Vortex technology infuses your skin with intense moisturizers delivered deep into the epidermis.

Step Three: Fuse & Protect

This is the really nourishing part of the facial. Your skin is bombarded with antioxidants and peptides to heal, soothe and protect it. You’ll get an infusion of hyaluronic acid during this step. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar your body produces to keep the skin hydrated. It attracts and retains moisture, so the infusion during this step will keep your results looking good for a long time.

Personalization

One of the biggest draws to this treatment is how personalized you can make it. There are add-ons available and boosters you can add throughout the process. Each one comes with its own specific benefits.

These come before or after the actual facial treatment. Nutrient boosters can be added during different phases of the facial. Each one can be explained to you so you know which is right for your concerns and which will benefit you the most.

Lymphatic Therapy

Your skincare specialist will manually perform lymphatic therapy to help your system clear out toxic build-up before the facial.

Benefits

• Decreases inflammation
• Helps remove toxins from the skin
• Increases overall skin health
• Removes unwanted buildup

 

LED Light Therapy

Done at the end of the facial, clients can choose from red or blue lights, depending on their areas of concern.

Benefits

• Blue light targets p. acnes bacteria
• Blue light improves the appearance of congested and oily skin
• Red light supports skin health and hydration

 

Vortex Tips

Once you become an expert at getting HydraFacials, you can play around with which tips work best for you. Even if it’s the first time, you can ask about what each tip does and if a personalization might be right for you.

Benefits

• Purple Aggression tip exfoliates thicker or oilier skin
• Orange Aggression tip is for an intense exfoliation
• Wet Diamond Abrasion gives exfoliation that resembles microdermabrasion

 

Alastin Trixex-Pro Booster

• Minimizes the appearance of dark spots and age spots

Benefits

• Improves hydration
• Tones, firms and brightens the outer eye
• Gently removes dead cells and soothes the skin

 

Lip Replenishing Serum

• Exfoliates dry and flaky lips
• Hydrates
• Creates a smooth surface
• Relieves chapped lips

Benefits

• Stimulates scalp circulation
• Cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the scalp
• Removes dirt, oil, dead skin and other scalp impurities
• Infuses the scalp with growth factors
• Promotes healthier, thicker and fuller-looking hair

 

What Are the Benefits of a HydraFacial?

There are a lot of reasons to sign up for a HydraFacial. Whether you get any of the add-ons or boosters, the facial will do wonders for any skin type—even the most sensitive. This is treatment is perfect for an 18-year-old or someone post-menopause. Because anyone can personalize it to fit their specific needs, it’s the most versatile facial available.

The key benefits of HydraFacial are:

• Gentle exfoliation of all dead skin cells
• A gentle peel to reveal brighter skin without damage
• Massive amounts of hydration
• Gentle extractions to clear pores
• Infusion of nourishing serums to soothe and protect skin

 

What Can It Treat?

You know the benefits, but what do those benefits translate to in real results? Only your skincare specialist can determine is this is the right treatment to address your specific concerns, but this treatment successfully addresses:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven tone and texture
• Dull complexion
• Brown spots
• Oily and acne-prone skin
• Enlarged pores and blackheads
• Mild skin laxity

 

How Long Will Results Last?

How long you enjoy your results will depend on how well you take care of your skin afterward. You will see immediate results like a brighter and clearer complexion. Other results, like firmer skin and a softening of fine lines, will appear gradually. Most people see the effects of this treatment for close to a month.

It’s recommended that you get a HydraFacial every six to eight weeks if you’d like to keep your results seamless. Your skincare specialist can recommend the right follow-up schedule for you.

This Treatment Pairs Well With Others

Another bonus to this treatment is how it complements other treatments. Many clients get this done on the same day as other treatments.

Botox

If you’re looking to reduce the appearance of expression lines or dynamic wrinkles, this injectable is the number one cosmetic treatment in the world for a reason—it works. Made from a purified protein, Botox is considered a neuromodulator, meaning it works by blocking the signal from a nerve from reaching a muscle.

When you make expressions your whole life, the skin over the muscles you use for those expressions will eventually become etched with lines and wrinkles as a sort of road map for the movements. When Botox is injected into certain muscles, it allows those muscles to relax and the skin over them to smooth. Botox can be used on:

• Frown lines
• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines

 

Gummy Smile

Botox is also being used for clients who show more of their gums than they’d like when they smile. By targeting the muscles that pull the lips too far back, Botox relaxes the pull a bit. Clients can still smile, but they only show as much of their gums as they choose.

Eyebrow Lift

By reducing the strength of the muscles that pull down the eyebrows, Botox can then engage the muscles that lift the curve in the brow and bring up the tail. This gives clients the arch they’ve always wanted or brings back the sculpted look of their youth.

Clients can see results from Botox in one to two days, and the results can last up to four months.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a group of injectables that give instant volume to certain areas of the face and hands. Most of these fillers are made from a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid carried in a smooth and pliable gel. There are many fillers on the market, so you’ll need to discuss your areas of concern with your skincare specialist so they can recommend the perfect one to suit your needs.

Fillers can address anything from moderate-to-severe lines and folds to asymmetry on the nose or lost volume in the back of the hands. Fillers are very versatile and can address:

• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Chin wrinkles
• Vertical lines around lips
• Areas of lost volume
• Thinning lips
• Crow’s feet
• Asymmetry in nose and chin
• Jowls
• Hollow areas

Shaving is incredibly time-consuming. Waxing is painful. Tweezing and plucking can’t address unwanted hair in large areas, like the legs. Luckily, there’s a much better way to achieve hair removal, and with incredible advances in medical technology, it is faster, safer and more comfortable than ever. At Amachi MedSpa in Marietta, GA, we only invest in the most state-of-the-art lasers to ensure the best experience and results for our clients. Today, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about laser hair removal, including how you should prepare for treatment.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal refers to a treatment that has been available on a large scale since 1997. Between 1995 and 1996, a great deal of research and development went into making this type of hair removal safe and effective. But the innovation hasn’t stopped. Today, the most advanced lasers can safely, effectively and comfortably target unwanted body hair, even when there is little contrast between skin tone and hair color.

What Areas Can I Treat?

Essentially, you can use laser hair removal wherever you want except for your eyebrows. While you are given specially designed eye protection for your laser hair removal treatment, we strongly recommend against seeking laser treatment for the removal of eyebrow hair. You need to wait at least six weeks after waxing to receive hair removal via laser treatment. You must also not tweeze.

Does Treatment Hurt?

It used to be that laser treatments were uncomfortable at best or painful at worst. This is not the case with our state-of-the-art lasers. Before treatment, we will treat the affected area with a topical numbing cream so you will experience neither pain nor discomfort. Depending on your unique situation, you may have a cold laser used to treat your unwanted hair.

How Many Treatments Will I need?

Nobody has hair in the same phase of the growth cycle at the same time. Therefore, you may need between four and six laser hair removal treatments, spread out between intervals of four to six weeks, to achieve your ideal results. Laser treatment for hair removal only targets hair in the active growth phase. Dormant hairs cannot be treated with laser light.

How Does the Laser Target the Hair for Removal?

Lasers use electric pulses and light energy to heat the hair follicle, destroying the roots without damaging the surrounding tissue or skin. By targeting the hair follicle, future hair growth is drastically stunted. Once the follicles are sufficiently destroyed, it will be a year or more before you need to come in for a follow-up treatment.

What Can I Expect During Treatment?

During treatment, the outer layers of your skin will be protected by a special cooling device or cold gel. This serves the dual purpose of helping the laser light penetrate the deeper layers of your skin while keeping you comfortable during treatment. Your laser technician will administer a pulse of light to the targeted site, then watch the area for several minutes to ensure the best settings for your unique skin tone and hair color are being used.

How Long Does Treatment Last?

Our lasers can treat an area the size of a quarter in only a second. Therefore, small areas, like the underarms, can be treated in mere minutes. However, you will need to wait between 20 and 30 minutes for the topical numbing cream to take effect. You should expect to be in our office for around an hour depending on how many sites you are targeting, the size of those sites and whether we have to shave your treatment site for you.

What Can I Expect During My Initial Consultation?

Before your initial consultation, you must shave your desired treatment area. During your consultation, we will review everything you can expect during your treatment as well as what you need to know about our lasers. With your consent, we will photograph the site that will be treated for the purposes of before-and-after comparisons.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Everyone’s aesthetic goals, medical history and current health are unique. Therefore, you must come in for a one-on-one consultation to determine if laser therapy is right for your hair removal needs. However, there are a few general rules of thumb that help determine who is a suitable candidate for this treatment:

The Fitzpatrick Scale

The best candidate for laser hair removal has dark hair and fair skin. This is because the laser can focus its light energy on the pigment inside the hair and not become confused by the pigment within the skin. If you have darker skin and darker hair, don’t worry. Our lasers are state-of-the-art and can safely and effectively target the pigment of your hair without damaging or burning your surrounding skin tissue.

If you have blonde, red, white or grey hair, you may need more treatment sessions than someone with coarse, dark hair and fair skin. This is because there is very little contrast between the pale skin and the hair with barely any pigment in it. However, you are not immediately disqualified as a candidate for this type of treatment no matter what your hair or skin color.

Health

Besides your hair color and skin tone, there are other factors to consider when deciding if hair removal via lasers is right for you. For example, it is essential that you do not have an open wound, tan, infection or active skin rash on the day of your treatment session. If you develop skin irritation before your treatment, let us know as soon as possible so we can reschedule.

How Should I Prepare Before This Treatment?

Before your first session, it is essential to avoid the use of tweezers or waxing. Both tweezing and waxing remove the hair follicle from the root. Unfortunately, during hair removal with laser energy, the laser must be able to identify the hair follicle. You must also stay out of the sun. Do not visit a tanning bed or sunbathe during the six weeks before treatment. You should also avoid excessive sun exposure by applying broad-spectrum sunblock every four to six hours when going outside.

Shave Before Treatment

You should shave within 24 hours of your scheduled laser appointment. Your laser technician cannot treat areas that have hair above the skin. You cannot even receive treatment if there is rough stubble because this may create too much heat for the pigment of your skin.

If you miss any hairs while you shaved, and you do not feel comfortable with your technician shaving you, your technician will need to avoid treating those areas. Alternatively, you will need to reschedule your treatment session until such time as you can shave your desired treatment site yourself.

We strongly recommend that you shave with a clean, new razor to avoid any potential post-shaving irritation or stray hairs. Using a clean razor also guarantees that there will be no bacteria present on your skin that could cause contact dermatitis, a delayed allergic reaction that often occurs after shaving.

Relax

If you suffer from situational anxiety or another mood disorder, take steps before your treatment to ensure you are comfortable. For example, you may benefit from avoiding caffeine for 24 hours before treatment or taking Benadryl or another mild sedative as advised by your doctor to calm your nerves. We will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment site to ensure you feel no pain or discomfort. There is no need to worry about your treatment.

What Can I Expect After Treatment?

After treatment, you are free to return to work or your regular daily routine. There is no downtime. However, you should expect your hairs to start falling out during or immediately after treatment. It takes roughly 21 days for all your hairs to fall out. This is around the time when you are ready to reschedule your next appointment.

Comfort

After your laser therapy for hair removal, you will be given anti-inflammatory cream to prevent any discomfort after the anesthetic has worn off. Cold water and homemade ice packs are equally effective for mitigating the risk of irritating inflammation. Before you leave, we strongly recommend that you schedule your next treatment session for four to six weeks out.

This gives your treated hair plenty of time to fall out. Once you’ve had one treatment session, you may find it ideal to schedule treatment sessions roughly three weeks after your current session depending on how quickly your hair falls out.

Skin Care

Proper skin care following hair removal with laser energy is essential. Before you go outside during the day, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with Zinc and a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 20 if you are above a III on the Fitzpatrick scale. If you are between I and III on the Fitzpatrick scale, we strongly recommend an SPF of at least 55.

Hair Removal

You should avoid tweezing or plucking your hair between laser treatments for hair removal. However, you should shave as necessary. Make sure you shave the day before your follow-up treatments, too. Remember, any area not shaved sufficiently will have to be skipped over during treatment. After your “final” hair removal treatment, you will not need to shave, pluck or wax any longer. You can enjoy a year or more of not fussing over your unwanted body hair every day.

Results

The results you can expect from this type of treatment will vary on a case-by-case basis. But, to an extent, they can be generalized. You can generally expect to need between four and six treatments spaced three to six weeks apart to achieve silky smooth legs. If there is little pigment in your hair, you may need between eight and 12 treatment sessions to remove unwanted hair thoroughly.

Regardless of the contrast between your skin pigment and hair pigment, you can expect roughly an 80% reduction in hair growth and a drastic thinning of hair after every treatment session. Your unwanted body hair will be reduced to the point where it is barely imperceptible. However, laser treatment does not destroy every single hair follicle in a treatment area. Maintenance appointments may be required, and changes in hormone levels may cause unwanted hair growth in the future.

You deserve to look and feel your best, and stubborn pockets of fat can disrupt your overall aesthetic and inhibit you from achieving your ideal look. Some fat deposits are resistant to the effects of diet and exercise and make you feel like you don’t have total control of your own body. Coolsculpting and liposuction are two treatments that can help eliminate stubborn fat deposits and leave you looking great. At Amachi Med Spa in Marietta, GA, we can answer all your questions about coolsculpting vs liposuction and help you determine the perfect treatment for you.

Coolsculpting vs Liposuction

You have probably seen the effects of coolsculpting and liposuction and not even known it. Every time you sit down at a cinema to catch the latest Hollywood film, or even when you page through a magazine, the chiseled bodies of the actors and models on display are likely the result of a health and beauty plan that includes either coolsculpting or liposuction.

Both treatments are extremely popular because of their effectiveness and minimal downtime. It doesn’t make sense to judge yourself against a Hollywood look if you haven’t taken advantage of the best beauty treatments available. Your overall appearance is a result of many elements that contribute to the final product. Diet and exercise are two vital components, but your overall health, skincare, fashion choices, and even your hairstyle also play critical roles.

Coolsculpting and liposuction are simply two more treatment modules you can integrate into your overall health plan. When considering any beauty treatment, it is always important to have reasonable expectations and understand how the process relates to the bigger picture of your overall beauty concept.

What Is Coolsculpting?

Coolsculpting is a non-invasive procedure that freezes fat cells. The process works through the scientific concept of cryolipolysis. Scientists have discovered that fat cells are more vulnerable to exposure to cold temperatures than the surrounding tissue. Therefore, fat deposits can be targeted and eliminated by placing a coolsculpting applicator on the skin for approximately 30 to 60 minutes. This is a painless treatment that you can schedule during a lunch break.

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure which involves making a small incision into the skin and inserting a cannula. A cannula is like a large needle with a vacuum element that dislodges and removes fat from beneath your skin. The treatment is usually performed under general or local anesthesia so you are comfortable and do not feel any pain.

Liposuction allows for an immediate removal of a greater amount of fat than coolsculpting, but your doctor may recommend that you avoid certain activities for a week or more after the treatment.

What Are the Benefits of Each?

Both coolsculpting and liposuction have been proven highly effective at removing unwanted fat deposits. Many people develop unwanted fat deposits on specific parts of their body due to the influence of genetics and heredity. These treatments allow you to sculpt your body and smooth out the lines of your silhouette to achieve a smoother, more beautiful look. Coolsculpting and liposuction give you the ability to target the precise fat deposits that you wish to remove and allow you to take complete control of your appearance.

When Are the Results Visible?

Liposuction immediately and physically removes the fat cells from your body. The results depend on the size and location of the area being treated. The nature of the treatment can lead to minor swelling, and the full benefits might not be visible for several weeks or months. Many clients enjoy monitoring their progress and waking up in the morning every day to a sleeker, slimmer version of themselves.

Coolsculpting allows the body to remove fat cells through natural processes and expel them as waste. With coolsculpting, you will begin to see the results in a few weeks and the best results in one to three months.

Are the Results Permanent?

For both coolsculpting and liposuction, the fat cells that are removed do not return. However, the remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight. A healthy commitment to diet and exercise is critical to maintaining your beauty goals. Hormonal changes over time instruct your body to deposit fat in different areas. Therefore, there is the potential that if you remove fat from a targeted problem area, the body will no longer store fat in that region after the treatment.

The amount of time you get from your appearance boost after these treatments will depend on your overall health and beauty plan. If you undergo massive weight gain, you will erase the results. However, most clients find that the improvement in their appearance provides them with additional motivation to stick with their health plans and achieve even more dramatic, beautiful results.

What Is the Downtime for These Treatments?

With coolsculpting, you will be able to leave your appointment and resume your daily schedule with almost no restrictions. The treatment is painless and there is no recovery time.

Depending on the size of the area treated, liposuction might require a few days to a week of recovery time, during which you shouldn’t engage in strenuous physical activity. The amount of downtime will depend on the treatment, and your specialist will create a schedule to help ensure you get the maximum results with minimal intrusion into your everyday life.

How Much Fat Can Be Removed?

Coolsculpting is effective at removing around 25% of the fat in a targeted area. Your specialist might recommend multiple treatments staggered by weeks or months to achieve a specific beauty goal in a designated amount of time.

Liposuction could theoretically remove all the fat in a targeted area with a recommended maximum of around 6000 ml of fat and fluid. Your specialist will inform you of what you can expect during your consultation.

How Much Do the Treatments Cost?

The costs of these treatments depend on the size of the area being targeted. The average cost for both liposuction and coolsculpting is around $2,000 per appointment. However, smaller areas of the body might be significantly less.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Coolsculpting vs Liposuction?

It is important to go into any beauty appointment with proper expectations. Neither coolsculpting nor liposuction are effective treatments for obesity. If you are obese, you should consider something like gastric bypass surgery.

Both coolsculpting and liposuction have the best results with healthy, fit and active people with a strong commitment to an overall health and beauty plan. Coolsculpting and liposuction will not develop muscle mass, however, they can remove stubborn layers of fat that are preventing your muscle definition from being visible.

Both men and women can enjoy the benefits of liposuction and coolsculpting. The treatment allows you to smooth out unsightly fat deposits that your body creates due to the influence of genetics and heredity. Everyone has problem areas on their body that they cannot address with diet and exercise alone. Liposuction and coolsculpting both allow you to eliminate these areas and improve your self-confidence, overall aesthetic, and have greater control over your body.

What Can Be Treated?

Both coolsculpting and liposuction are versatile treatments that your specialist might recommend for a variety of target areas. Your specialist will inform you which of these treatments might be more effective based on your unique health situation. Every person is unique, and the human body is a complex organism.

Sometimes hormonal changes cause new, unwanted fat deposits to develop as people age. Some unsightly fat deposits can be traumatic to a person’s self-confidence, and it is important to know that safe, painless, and affordable solutions exist. Here are some common treatment areas:

Chest

Gynecomastia is a condition that some men develop which causes their body to store excess fat in their chest. This fat gives the impression of male breasts and can lead to embarrassment, depression, and very poor body satisfaction. Liposuction or coolsculpting are often used to reduce the appearance of man boobs and help a man restore his body satisfaction.

Chin and Neck

The chin and neck are very popular target areas that allow clients to experience the benefits of liposuction and coolsculpting on a small targeted area. Your face is a focal point in any social interaction, and a puffy neck or double chin can give an unfair impression of overall poor health.

There is little you can do in terms of exercise to eliminate stubborn neck fat. Targeted coolsculpting and liposuction on the neck is very affordable and can result in a dramatic improvement in beauty and self-confidence.

Abdomen

It doesn’t matter how many crunches you do at the gym if your abdominal muscles are covered by a layer of obscuring fat. The six-pack that you see on Hollywood movie stars is often the result of regular fat removal procedures.

Many clients feel empowered after their treatment, which reveals definition that they never knew they had. You work hard at the gym, and liposuction and coolsculpting can guarantee the world can see the results of your discipline and dedication.

Knees

Knees are another area that sometimes become target zones for body fat deposits. Frustrating knee fat is difficult to target with exercise and has a detrimental impact on the line of your body. Many people resign themselves to living with knee fat, but treatment is simple and effective and can be life-altering. Don’t go through your life hating your knee fat. Schedule a consultation and discover what it is like to have pride in your legs.

Thighs

An even distribution of fat in your legs can create a smooth and sensual look. However, if your body stores fat in awkward lumps, the overall line of your thighs can be disrupted. Liposuction and coolsculpting are ideal for this kind of issue. Either of these treatments can be used to create a symmetrical body line that will have you wearing tight-fitting clothing to show off your perfect curves.

Other Areas

The cannulas for liposuction and the applicators for coolsculpting come in a variety of sizes that can be used virtually anywhere on the body. If you have an unsightly fat deposit, you’re not alone. The human body is complex, and sooner or later almost everybody develops a fat deposit that disrupts their aesthetic and reduces their self-confidence.

Don’t live with a body feature that does not satisfy you. Schedule a consultation and find out how coolsculpting or liposuction can help you achieve a more beautiful version of you.

Our experts are well-versed in many anti-aging treatments, such as Thermismooth, which can be used to reverse aging for face and body.

Curious about this versatile treatment? Learn everything you need to know about this treatment before you come to the clinic!

What Is Thermismooth?

This treatment is a non-invasive, gentle, and gradual therapy that is used to tighten and lift skin, from your face all the way down to your legs and everywhere in between. As a non-invasive alternative to cosmetic lift procedures, this treatment is part of a growing family of high-tech, non-surgical solutions for anti-aging. Like other systems, this treatment works with the body, specifically targeting the sublevels of skin to encourage tighter skin.

If you are looking for a painless treatment with zero recovery time that creates a gradual, naturally younger-looking appearance, then look no further than Thermismooth.

Why Does It Work?

This is a treatment that works with your body to produce the desired results. How? That’s a good question, and to answer it, we first need to look at the basic theory of what causes aging and how anti-aging technology works.

What Causes Aging?

Let’s start with aging. While the first visual signs of aging might be thinner skin and fine lines in delicate skin areas, you should know that aging starts long before our eyes can detect the signs. The first true signs of aging happen on a sub-dermal level, deep within the tissues of the skin. At some point – determined by genetics and lifestyle – our bodies reach a point where we begin to produce less of the proteins that lend themselves to full, youthful skin. These proteins are collagen and elastin.

Aging is caused by a slower production of these proteins, which results in greater skin laxity, or essentially a loss of skin volume. With less volume in the skin, fine lines begin to form while gravity does its work, and over time we begin to notice the visible signs.

How Anti-Aging Technology Works

None of us can stop time. Aging is inevitable. But that doesn’t mean we can’t reduce the visible signs of aging or gradually slow the aging process down. With the right methods, we can effectively prolong a more youthful appearance. This is where anti-aging technology comes in. Many high-tech anti-aging solutions operate off the same basic principles, which is to stimulate the deep levels of skin to begin producing proteins like collagen again.

How are these proteins stimulated? The simple answer is heat. For most treatments – this one included – heat is introduced to the skin through radio frequency technology. The gentle heat created by radio frequency technology is a quick and painless way to tell the body to create proteins in the skin by stimulating blood flow. You might be interested to know that, from a biological perspective, stimulating blood flow is a fast way to wake up cells and direct fresh energy into the skin.

Essentially, anti-aging technology uses heat to stimulate blood flow, which in turn stimulates the production of proteins that delay visible signs of aging.

Thermismooth for the Face

You can reduce fine lines and wrinkles in the face with this gentle treatment. For the face, this treatment uses a slightly smaller handheld device that is made to contour around the curves and crevices of the face.

The areas of the face this treatment works for include…

• Cheeks
• Eyes
• Forehead
• Mouth
• Neck

Using this treatment for the face can greatly reduce visible signs of aging. This treatment is especially appropriate for delicate skin areas, such as the skin around and beneath the eyes, which is thinner than the rest of the skin on the face. This treatment is ideal for crows feet and the laugh lines that form around the mouth, as well as other mild to moderate skin laxity found around the jawline and neck areas.

Thermismooth for the Body

This treatment can also be used on larger expanses of skin. For the body, the device used for the treatment is a bit larger, but that is the only difference between the two. However, unlike the face, visible signs of aging on the body are not necessarily fine lines and wrinkles. Rather, visible signs of aging on the body include loose skin and cellulite, both of which are caused by a reduction of collagen.

The areas of the body this treatment works for include…

• Collarbone
• Breasts
• Arms
• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Hips
• Thighs
• Knees
• Calves
• Ankles

This treatment can be used on virtually every area of the body to lift, tighten, and support skin without the use of invasive techniques. This treatment is ideal for greater skin surface areas that lose skin laxity quickly, such as the collarbone, breasts, and abdomen. This treatment is also ideal for areas of the body where cellulite can rapidly dimple, such as the hips, thighs, and buttocks.

The Treatment

While you know the theory behind radio frequency treatments like this one and what areas of the body or face this therapy can treat, you might still be wondering what the treatment itself is like. Most patients compare this treatment to a hot stone massage, both because of the heat and the pressure that the device uses.

In fact, many patients view this treatment as incredibly spa-like and relaxing. It is gentle enough that you might even forget that you are undergoing an anti-aging treatment in the first place.

This treatment system uses a highly sophisticated device, which is connected to a computer called ThermiRF. The ThermiRF computer constantly monitors the output of heat from the device so that each sweep of the device has the precise amount of heat necessary to properly stimulate collagen production. The ThermiRF system can be set to any temperature, but the general desired range is between 42°C and 45°C.

The Treatment Steps

Regardless of where you are receiving the treatment or how large the targeted treatment area is, all steps for this therapy are the same for each session. Here we will walk you through what to expect during a treatment session.

Step 1: Cleanse

For the best results, the first step for this treatment is to have clean skin free of make-up, lotions, or other products. While it is best to go into your appointment with freshly cleaned skin, it is likely that your technician will use gentle sterile cleansers to free the skin of excess oils or lingering products. Having a cleansed canvas to work with is also an important safety procedure so that no products will interact negatively when introduced to heated elements.

Step 2: Cooling Gel

For both face and body, we use a cooling gel with this treatment. The cooling gel works in two ways. The first is to make sure that your skin remains at a comfortable temperature while the device is working, which will protect your skin and reduce redness following the treatment. The second is to help smooth the way so that the device can glide smoothly over skin as directed by the technician. Not unlike the gel used for an ultrasound, the cooling gel used for this treatment is for your benefit and comfort.

Step 3: Treatment

This is where the comparisons to a hot stone massage will become apparent. Each area of the body or face that is being treated is allotted the same amount of time: about 5 minutes for each zone.

The technician will sweep the device over your skin and hold it over a zone for a time, before moving on to the next zone. This gives the device enough time to properly heat each target area to stimulate collagen production. Each session takes roughly one hour to complete.

Step 4: Recovery

We cannot emphasize enough that this treatment has zero recovery time. After your session, you might experience temporary redness or pinkness at the sites of treatment, but this redness disappears within the day. After treatment, you are free to return to normal daily activity with no restrictions. We do encourage the use of moisturizers, and you should avoid direct sun exposure on the day of treatment.

Step 5: Results

As a note, in order to reach the optimal results of this treatment, you will require multiple sessions because of how gradual the effects of the treatment are. Most patients require 5 to 6 sessions spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart. The sessions are spaced this way to give the body enough time to acclimate to the stimulation.

You might find that your body responds more quickly to the stimulation than others, which means you might require only 4 or 5 sessions. You might also find that to reach optimal results, your body requires additional stimulation from additional sessions. Our expert staff will help you determine the best course of treatment to reach your desired appearance.

Is Thermismooth Permanent?

Many patients wonder if this treatment is permanent. As a simple answer, we would class this treatment as semi-permanent. Not unlike semi-permanent hair dye, this treatment does require some upkeep to continue to see the same results.

One completed round of this treatment – the standard 5 to 6 sessions – will last for about one year. In order to maintain the results of the treatment, you can undergo another session or two about once a year. By prolonging the treatment with yearly upkeep, you can significantly reduce the long-term visible effects of aging and gentle the aging process in a natural way.

Ideal Candidates

Who are ideal candidates for this treatment? Anyone with mild to moderate signs of aging is a perfect candidate for this treatment. Therapies like this one are designed to reduce the visible effects of aging, so they work the best for individuals who are noticing early signs of aging. There are no age or health restrictions for this treatment.

Ideal candidates for this treatment include those who have noticed:

• Fine lines around the eye and mouth
• Skin laxity on the neck and collarbone
• Sagging in the cheeks and jaw
• Loss of firmness in breasts and abdomen
• Cellulite in arms, hips, buttocks, and thighs
