Tighten Your Summer Tummy

It’s that time of year many dread – trying on new swimwear for the summer. Often, the difficult question is "one piece or two?" Perhaps you want the comfort of a two-piece, but if you are self conscious about stretch marks and sagging skin, your choices are limited. Why settle for "old reliable" when Thermage® and Fraxel™ Laser Treatment can help you confidently enjoy the summer fun!

The Vessely Center now provides Body by Thermage® for the abdomen to treat sagging skin. Skin laxity can occur after having a baby or as a result of normal weight loss. Thermage® is not recommended for treatment following a major loss of weight - such as 100 pounds or more. Thermage® utilizes a patented radio frequency technology. The energy emitted into the affected layers of skin stimulates the body’s natural collagen production resulting in a gradual tightening of the skin. Thermage® is also effective on the arms and thighs.

If stretch marks associated with childbirth, growth during puberty, weight gain or extreme loss are concerns to you, they can now be treated with Fraxel™ Laser Treatment. Fraxel™ is the groundbreaking laser technique that microscopically pinpoints affected tissue. Following treatment, new skin cells begin growth and collagen production is stimulated.

Thermage® and Fraxel™ treatments can be combined or used alone. Each procedure is non-invasive, and requires little or no downtime. Call The Vessely Center for a free consultation. Dr. Vessely can recommend a treatment regimen surely to get you into the suit that makes you look and feel your best.

Summertime Skin Tips

• If leg veins are a concern, be sure to ask Dr. Vessely how about the latest, non-invasive procedure that can help your legs look their summer best!
• Get rid of dry, dull winter skin by exfoliating. Our aesthetician, Sally Ann, can bring out your soft, smooth skin with a delectable array of masques and moisturizers.
• Don’t forget to use a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher, even on cloudy days. For optimal protection, the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends applying sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside.
• Water can be your best friend during hot weather. It keeps both you and your skin properly hydrated and feeling refreshed during the summer months.
