    Managing A Healthy Diet: Foods To Avoid For Weight Loss

    Last updated 7 months ago

    Liposuction and other forms of body contouring can get rid of pockets of fat unresponsive to exercise and dieting. But what are some of the best methods for weight loss?

    This video discusses various foods that dieters should avoid eating. These foods include many of the usual suspects: Fast food and convenience foods, fatty cuts of meat, lard, and margarine. But you may be surprised to learn that so-called “health bars” should also be avoided when trying to shed those pounds. These bars may be full of nutrients, but they’re also full of hydrogenated oils, which are incredibly bad for the body.

    No matter how well you watch your diet, there may be some areas of the body you simply cannot change. Skintastic is a med spa and cosmetic surgery center that can help you look and feel your very best. Our talented cosmetic surgeons can help you with everything from face lifts to weight loss surgery. To schedule an appointment, call (214) 306-5982 today.

    All About Bio-Identical Hormone Pellet Therapy

    Last updated 7 months ago

    As people age, their bodies stop producing the same levels of hormones as when they were in their teens and twenties. Sometimes hormone reduction is gradual, but it can also be dramatic and sudden—either way, hormone fluctuations can leave you feeling tired and unlike your usual self.  You may not have as much energy and it may take longer to recover from physical and emotional setbacks. But thanks to decades of scientific research, this hormonal drop-off no longer has to be a burden. To learn how your cosmetic surgeon can help you by prescribing bio-identical hormone pellet therapy, continue reading:

    • What Is Bio-Identical Hormone Pellet Therapy?

    Bio-identical hormone pellet therapy, also known as pelletherapy, consists of specially-made pellets that contain a mixture of hormones tailored to a single individual. The pellet is then gently inserted under the patient’s skin, where it gradually introduces hormones into the bloodstream. This helps raise the patient’s hormone levels, making him or her feel years younger.

    • How Is Bio-Identical Hormone Pellet Therapy Performed?

    In order to perform bio-identical hormone pellet therapy, your med spa specialists will first need to determine which hormones are deficient and how low your levels have dipped. To do so, they will schedule an initial appointment during which your levels will be tested. After receiving results, they will then decide which mixture of hormones will best suit you and order the appropriate medications. At a separate appointment, bio-identical hormone pellets inserted, which are time-released and plant-based. You should begin to feel younger and reenergized shortly thereafter. You may also begin to lose weight, because decreasing hormone levels are partially responsible for weight gain.

    If you’re interested in the possibilities of bio-identical hormone pellet therapy, then contact Skintastic. Skintastic is not only a med and day spa that specializes in skin rejuvenation, but also a renowned cosmetic surgery center.

    Liposuction VS. Zeltiq CoolSculpting: Which Is Right For Your Body?

    Last updated 8 months ago

    Traditional liposuction and Zeltiq CoolSculpting are both very powerful tools in the fight against fat, but which one is right for you and your body?

    • Traditional Liposuction

    There are a number of different procedures that are considered traditional liposuction, and each is designed to reduce stubborn pockets of fat. The patient is anesthetized, usually with general anesthesia, and then the fat is removed from the body using suction and a cannula inserted within the skin. This method, and all of its variations, is very effective, but it does have drawbacks. As with any surgery, liposuction requires at least some downtime. In addition, it may not be ideal for all areas of the body, especially smaller pockets of fat, like back fat or even underarm fat. There have been many improvements on traditional liposuction, including SmartLipo, which liquefies fat and allows it to be absorbed by the lymphatic system. Traditional liposuction is great for larger jobs, but Zeltiq CoolSculpting may be the better idea for smaller imperfections.

    • Zeltiq CoolSculpting

    The greatest thing about Zeltiq CoolSculpting is that it doesn’t require surgery. Instead, patients spend about an hour being treated with a device that freezes fat cells. This technique kills the fat cells but does not damage any of the other cells around them, allowing for targeted results and eliminating bruising. No cannula is inserted and no suction is employed—your body will get rid of the fat naturally over the course of several weeks or months. For people with relatively minor problem areas who don’t want to deal with downtime, Zeltiq CoolSculpting is the perfect answer.

    Zeltiq CoolSculpting and other forms of liposuction are offered at Skintasticin Uptown Dallas and Plano. Skintastic is a great cosmetic surgery center and combination day and med spa that offers only the best in skin rejuvenation technologies.
