5 Non-Surgical Treatments to Get Now Before Summer
Posted on May 21, 2024 | by Boston Plastic Surgery
With warmer weather just around the corner, we’re here to help you feel confident and radiant in your skin. Whether you’re looking to sculpt your body, tighten your skin, or refresh your complexion, we have several treatment options at Boston Plastic Surgery and our Skin Wellness Center to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Here are 5 non-surgical treatments to book now to shine this summer.
Sofwave: Elevate your look
Could your skin benefit from a lift? Sofwave® is one of our favorite skin treatments to lift and firm key areas of the face and neck: the brow line, chin and jawline, and the neck.
The best part? No incisions, injections, or downtime needed! Sofwave uses advanced ultrasound technology to deliver precise and controlled energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. These proteins help lift and tighten lax skin for a youthful and expressive brow line and sculpt an attractive jawline—ideal for targeting a double chin! Plus, Sofwave helps tone the neck area, which will be on full display in a summer wardrobe. Aside from noticeable lifting effects, Sofwave also diminishes fine lines and wrinkles in the skin.
“Awesome experience can’t wait to go again my skin felt amazing when I left. Great advice for ongoing care etc.”
5-star Google review
We recommend scheduling Sofwave treatments about 2 months before you want to reveal a younger-looking version of yourself: it takes between 4-12 weeks for the body to produce the new collagen layers that will soften creases and fill out loose skin.
CoolSculpting: Say goodbye to stubborn fat pockets
Dreaming of a slimmer silhouette for swimsuit season? CoolSculpting® uses cryolipolysis to reduce localized fat pockets in nearly any area of the body, especially in the abdomen, thighs, flanks (love handles), bra line, under the buttocks, or even under the chin. Fat-freezing technology only affects fat cells, so no other tissues are harmed! The cold temperature crystallizes fat cells, which disintegrate and are processed out of the body. We like to think of it as mini-liposuction, without the surgery or downtime.
Non-surgical fat reduction with CoolSculpting typically takes about 12 weeks to see full results (your body needs time to process the “dead” fat cells), but you may see results begin to emerge in as little as 2 weeks! You may need multiple treatments to achieve optimal fat reduction, so schedule your first treatment ASAP.
One of the benefits of CoolSculpting is that treatments are non-invasive with no downtime and results are gradual; you’ll be able to receive treatments and gradually slim down those trouble areas without skipping a beat this summer!
CoolSculpting can reduce fat bulges by up to 25% in a single treatment.
Vivace RF Microneedling: For comprehensive skin renewal
Want to achieve smoother, tighter skin without surgery? Vivace™ uses tiny, hair-like needles to create microchannels in the skin to deliver RF energy and trigger your body to flood the area with collagen to heal the punctures. RF microneedling improves the look of nearly every common skin imperfection, including sun damage, acne scars, rough skin texture, discoloration, signs of aging, large pores, and stretch marks. It can also visibly tighten the skin in treated areas!
Vivace also features LED light, which calms redness and inflammation and neutralizes acne-causing bacteria for more blemish-free skin. The red and blue LED wavelengths in Vivace also speed healing time so you have less redness and swelling post-treatment and see results more quickly.
This process takes a few weeks, so booking your summer skin prep treatments now will give you enough time to see noticeable improvements in your skin’s health and appearance. If you have significant skin concerns, you’ll see the best results after a short series of treatments.
CoolPeel: Go makeup-free for summer
Struggling with dull, aging skin or uneven pigmentation? CoolPeel® is one of the best options for summer skin prep. CoolPeel is a gentle laser treatment that uses controlled pulses of light to exfoliate the skin and stimulate collagen production for a youthful skin glow. Unlike more invasive laser treatments, CoolPeel delivers similar results without the downtime. We love this skin treatment to address a range of skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, pore size, redness, and hyperpigmentation so you feel confident with or without makeup—just remember your SPF!
You’ll start to see results within a week after a CoolPeel treatment, so booking now will give you plenty of time to decide if you would like to add another treatment for an even brighter, more radiant complexion to kick off more fun in the sun.
MiraDry: Stay cool and confident all summer long
Tired of dealing with embarrassing sweat stains and body odor? MiraDry® is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled thermal energy to target sweat glands and permanently reduce sweat production for dryer underarms and less odor. There’s minimal downtime after a MiraDry treatment, and most patients are happy with the sweat and odor reduction after just one treatment.
Book your treatment now before the weather heats up so you feel fresh and confident no matter what you wear this summer. For those who may want an additional treatment, you’ll be able to schedule another session in plenty of time to make this your best summer yet!
