Vanquish ME for Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

Everyone wants to look their best. Proof of this is seen every single day by your average person and celebrities alike who talk about how good they feel after getting in shape. Some do it for purely aesthetic reasons, while others do it because they reach a point where they realize that being overweight negatively affects the way they feel about themselves, the way others see them, and their overall health. If you have taken the steps needed to get in shape but are still struggling with pockets of stubborn fat, Vanquish ME could help you.

Maybe you’ve reached the point where you realize that you need to do something about your weight. It could be that you have dieted and exercised for some time and have seen a lot of positive benefits, but you still may have some stubborn pockets of fat that are not responding the way you want them to. This is where Vanquish ME comes into play.

Vanquish ME is a non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency to eliminate the excess fat in your midsection. This procedure is perfect for those who want to see results but are not ready or are unable to undergo surgery. Vanquish ME can help a person conquer their core.

Vanquish is an FDA-approved device effective at heating deep tissue. The radiofrequency device will be passed across the treated area, but the patient is never actually touched by it. You will lie down comfortably as the device delivers RF energy to the treated area. The carefully controlled energy will heat the skin and deeper tissues. At this temperature, your fat cells are destroyed. Over the next few weeks, your own body does the rest of the work by removing the dead fat cells from your body.

Once the fat cells are destroyed, they don’t come back. So as long as you maintain a healthy diet and a healthy exercise routine, you will be able to maintain the results you see. Vanquish ME has the ability to treat large parts of your body, so it can treat multiple areas at once. The Vanquish system is a quick and easy way to address areas that are not responding to your diet and exercise.

Since nothing actually touches your skin during the procedure, you will experience no discomfort. In fact, most people say that the procedure feels like sitting under a heating pad for about an hour.

Vanquish ME is an amazing treatment that allows you to have non-surgical fat reduction that lasts. At Old Town Med Spa, we proudly offer this treatment among our many cosmetic services to our clients in Chicago.

Smooth Away Moderate Wrinkles with Juvederm

What do you notice most about your appearance when you look at old photographs of yourself? Most people look at old pictures and see how their face was full and had no wrinkles. The idea that your appearance is changing can take an emotional toll on you.

It would be wonderful if there was some magic way to completely stop the aging process. However, this is not something that is realistic. There are no magic potions, cosmetic procedures, or anything else that can be used to permanently stop the aging process. However, there are treatments that are available that can help us fight it.

One of the most effective tools that is currently available right now to help you look younger is Juvederm®. This is a dermal filler that can help you smooth away moderate wrinkles on your face. Juvederm® contains hyaluronic acid. This is an acid that you naturally have in your skin. It is one of the components in your skin that allows it to hold onto moisture and give your skin a fresh and hydrated look. It is what helps your skin to stay plump and youthful-looking. Unfortunately, as the years go by, you lose some of the hyaluronic acid in your skin. This is what causes your skin to form wrinkles.

Juvederm® can be used in order to treat wrinkles on your face and add volume to your cheeks. When Juvederm® is injected into your face, you are going to see immediate results. Your skin is going to look more smooth and full. You will also notice that your appearance looks more like how it looked in old photographs.

If you have never had a dermal filler injection, it may make you feel a little bit nervous having this type of treatment done. However, you have nothing to worry about. The treatment is safe and will deliver fantastic results. This procedure is approved by the FDA, which means that it has been through many studies and has been used on many individuals.

Juvederm® can be just what you were looking for in a skin rejuvenation treatment. To schedule a consultation, you can contact our office at the Old Town Medspa. Let us show you how Juvederm® can give you a more youthful and full visage. Contact us today to make an appointment in Chicago!

Reasons to Consider Acne Treatment

Acne is one of those skin conditions that nearly everyone must deal with at some point. Some people can keep it under control with proper hygiene in combination with over-the-counter ointments. If you are like so many others, it’s not that simple. The trick is in knowing when to quit trying to treat it on your own and seek professional help. This is where a little basic understanding of the nature of acne can be important. Since acne can vary in type, and because individuals react to these types differently, knowing when to seek acne treatment from the professionals is important.

Acne can form due to hormonal changes. This is why people in their teenage years seem to struggle with it the most. These changes can cause the skin to produce additional oil. The oil can then clog the pores and lead to the development of acne. Two of the most common signs of acne at this stage are the presence of blackheads and whiteheads. Open pores will let air contact the oil that has built up. The reaction between the oil and the air causes the oil to turn black and develop blackheads. Whiteheads occur because the oil has not yet contacted the air. Its natural color is white, and it will remain so if it is not exposed to the atmosphere.

The condition can progress to the point of causing inflammation of the skin. Any redness that accompanies the blackheads, whiteheads or pimples is a sign of this inflammation. It may also cause some discomforts like itching and burning. This is when you should seriously consider getting professional acne treatment. Doing so will help you to get over the condition quicker, and it will save you a significant amount of discomfort. Most importantly, it will stop the acne before it reaches the point at which you are at risk for permanent scarring of the skin.

When the inflammatory acne gives way to infection, the most serious form of acne can develop. This is the type that causes permanent damage. Even after the acne itself is long gone, the evidence is still present in the form of scarring on the face.

Obviously, the best way to deal with acne scarring is to prevent the acne from reaching that level in the first place. The best way to do that is to seek acne treatment sooner rather than later. Since you don’t always know in advance how your skin is going to respond, it is best not to take a chance with your future and go ahead and get help. Doing so will take the guesswork out of trying to figure out what type of acne you are facing. It will also take the guesswork out of finding a treatment that works.
