Coolsculpting vs. Lipo
What sets coolsculpting apart from other fat reduction technology?
CoolSculpting is an innovative, noninvasive cosmetic treatment that uses the power of cooling to effectively freeze away undesirable fat.
This med spa procedure is excellent for patients who are unhappy with the appearance of extra fat on their abdomen, thighs, or unwanted love handles around their waist, and seek a completely non-invasive procedure to address these issues.
CoolSculpting provides a revolutionary way to restore a slimmer, toned body shape without the involvement of anesthesia or incisions or experiencing uncomfortable side effects. Rather, CoolSculpting can remove stubborn fatty pockets and enhance the figure in a relaxed one-hour in-office session with no side effects or downtime.

CoolSculpting vs. Traditional Fat Reduction Surgeries
Liposuction, breast reduction, and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) are some traditional surgical procedures to achieve dramatic fat loss. These procedures can create excellent outcomes and may be suitable for some patients. However, they are all invasive surgical treatments. Similar to any surgery, fat-reduction surgeries also involve the use of sedation/anesthesia and relatively long procedure times. They are also associated with significant post-surgical discomfort and extended recovery durations. While developments in medical technology have made these procedures quite safe, there still exists some level of risk of complications developing. These limitations of traditional fat reduction techniques outweigh the benefits for many people. These patients will usually derive the most benefit from CoolSculpting treatments. CoolSculpting provides fat removal and body shaping enhancements that are similar to plastic surgery, but without many of the disadvantages of surgery. It does not involve the use of sedation or anesthesia and accomplishes fat reduction and toning without any significant incisions, traumatic suction, or injections. CoolSculpting med spa treatment prevents damage to the surrounding tissue as it treats only the undesirable fatty tissues. This mitigates the risk of side effects. On top of this, it enables the patient to resume their normal activities almost immediately after the treatment.CoolSculpting vs. Other Non-invasive Fat Reduction Procedures
Surgical procedures involve significant risks, expense, and recovery durations. Therefore, it is no surprise that doctors, as well as patients, have aggressively sought innovative and noninvasive techniques for fat reduction. Treatments such as ultrasound laser and RF have been in use for a number of years to address stubborn fatty deposits that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. Similar to CoolSculpting, these procedures also provide fat reduction and body contouring outcomes without the involvement of anesthesia, incisions, or injections and with minimal downtime. But unlike CoolSculpting, these procedures use heat to melt away undesirable fat. Therefore, the patient faces the risk of burns, discomfort, pain, and other side-effects with these treatments. On the other hand, CoolSculpting uses a cooling mechanism to freeze away fat. Therefore, it does not carry the risk of burns and potential complications related to heat-based procedures.A Prudent Alternative
For patients who are unhappy with the appearance of stubborn fatty pockets that are unresponsive to diet and exercise, CoolSculpting presents a safe, noninvasive way to achieve a more toned, slimmer physique with minimal interruption to their busy lifestyle.

Comfort and Confidence while Wearing Body Hugging Clothes
One factor motivating women who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their labia is the desire to appear more attractive in athletic wear such as yoga pants. Yoga pants fit very snugly, and the tight-fitting spandex pants can accentuate large or distended vaginal lips. It can also cause the patient to feel self-conscious as well as experience physical chafing and discomfort during physical activity.New Grooming Trends
Grooming trends may influence the rising demand for nonsurgical vaginal and labial rejuvenation procedures. The vaginal area may be left visibly exposed accentuating the size and shape of the labia with popular waxing techniques such as the Brazilian bikini wax. Women who were earlier secure about the shape and size of their vaginal lips may suddenly find themselves feeling embarrassed about their labial area. Some common complaints from women with elongated or enlarged labia minora are:- Uneasiness during exercise
- Painful sexual intercourse
- Feeling self-conscious about their appearance
- Difficulty wearing athletic wear and swimsuits
Candidacy
Any woman is a candidate for non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation, regardless of whether the enlarged labia are the result of hormonal fluctuations, stretching during childbirth, or genetic reasons. The treatment is minimally invasive and effectively tightens sagging or uneven labial tissue from the vaginal lips. The patient will undergo this procedure in-office under local anesthesia. Not only do women undergoing the procedure not feel any pain, but they are also usually relaxed, chatting with the surgeon, watching a movie, or reading. In addition, the recovery period is minimal as well.ThermiVa Vaginal Rejuvenation
It is natural for the skin to become loose as the elastin and collagen levels reduce due to the natural process of aging. The skin starts to sag and loses its youthful suppleness. Skin laxity impacts not only facial skin, but it may affect skin on any part of the body, especially in areas with delicate skin. This includes the skin on and around the vagina. An experienced vaginal rejuvenation med spa provider will use the skin tightening attributes of ThermiVa to firm and tighten the vaginal skin. This helps restore a tauter, more youthful, and aesthetically appealing appearance in a nonsurgical manner.How does it Work?
ThermiVa offers patients a safe skin tightening treatment that does not involve incisions. This treatment is gentle enough for the fragile skin of the vagina. However, it still creates dramatic skin tightening outcomes. The patient undergoes the 20-minute ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation session comfortably and discreetly on an outpatient basis. It does not involve any post-treatment downtime.ThermiVa Benefits
