Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

Wanting to improve your sex-life to a more intimate level, vaginal rejuvenation might just be your solution. Vaginal rejuvenation is used to increase the tightness and tone of the vagina. During the procedure, Dr. Imitiaz will tighten the vaginal opening and walls, and rebuilds and reinforces the surrounding tissues, to tighten the vagina.

The same weak pelvic muscles that cause reduced sexual pleasure can also cause incontinence. Which at times can also help clear up issues with incontinence, too.

Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation for the Enhancement of Sexual Gratification LVR is a one hour outpatient surgical procedure designed to enhance vaginal muscle tone, strength and control. It will also effectively decrease the internal and external vaginal diameters.

HCG Fad vs a safer weight loss program

Friday, December 09, 2011

Read something really interesting today, if anyone thinks that the HCG diet ads sound too good to be true, the Food and Drug Administration agrees.

Recently the FDA and Federal Trade Commission went after a bunch of companies that sell homeopathic HCG to help people lose weight. Regulators have said the marketing of the products makes them “unapproved new drugs and illegal.”

A dieter is supposedly takes HCG to help curb cravings while sticking to an extremely low-calorie diet of, say, 500 calories a day. Stick with that and you’re supposed to lose a pound a day. But they forgot to mention that you can get gallstones and develop other health problems from such severe restrictions on what you eat.

At our office we provide a safe and customizable method for weight loss. Our one month Weight Loss Program is medically supervised by Dr. Farhina Imtiaz, it is designed for individuals who are 15 or more pounds over their desirable weight and may have significant medical problems related to obesity. It’s a one month program that includes a metabolism tester, weight loss shots, as well as dietary supplements to be taken home. For more information, call Reveal Med Spa.

Only permanent life-style changes-such as healthful food choices and increasing physical activity can promote long term weight.

Winter Skin Care Tips

Monday, November 21, 2011

As the winter weather approaches this season I’d like to share my advice so keep these helpful skincare tips in mind.

 In the colder winter months I like use Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser instead of Nu-Derm Foaming Gel, it helps alleviate tight, dry skin.  

  • I also love using Obagi Professional-C Serums it has stabilized L-ascorbic acid – the only form of Vitamin C that can be effectively absorbed by the skin and to help moisturize, provides antioxidant protection, and adds a dewy glow to my face.

If you’re feeling a little dry, try using the Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Treatment Cream for a smooth, rich cream eye cream which helps hydrate fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

Finally had time to restart my microcurrent series, my skin hasn’t looked this good in months!

Experts have said “A microcurrent facelift can be performed to improve muscle tone in the face and neck, lift jowls and eyebrows, reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.” As an experienced aesthetician, many clients have asked about how does this procedure work?

The microcurrent procedure itself takes approximately one hour to complete and is virtually painless using a two pronged cotton tipped instrument to gently deliver electrical stimulation to the muscles and tissues of the face and/or neck to stimulate collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins in skin that diminish as we get older. Collagen is like scaffolding that gives skin its structure and keeps wrinkles from forming, while elastin is more like a spring-without it, skin loses its ability to bounce back and starts to sag.

·       Lift jowls and eyebrows

·       Improve facial circulation

·       Lymphatic drainage

·       Visibly firms, lifts and contours the facial muscles

·       Infuses active ingredients for increased skin hydration

·       Promotes and encourages smoother and softer skin

·       Diminishes the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

·       Improve muscle tone in face and neck

Microcurrent offers an alternative to surgery.To achieve the ultimate benefits of a microcurrent facelift, approximately 10-12 treatments sessions are recommended. Routine follow-up treatments are performed to maintain microcurrent facelift results. The cost can vary based on a number of factors the average cost of a microcurrent facelift treatment $150 per session.

Spider Veins

Friday, October 07, 2011

Have you ever avoided showing your legs in public, because of the small clusters of blue, red or purple veins that appear on your legs? There is a solution to that! If you are interested in improving the appearance of your legs or getting rid of unsightly veins, our office can help.

During the treatment a laser light is directed to the vein, eliminating them. It targets the dilated blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface, breaking them apart to be naturally absorbed by the body, also sealing the blood vessel.

During the procedure, the laser’s chilled tip protects the superficial layers of the skin from heat damage and the cooling effect reduces discomfort. Because the laser emits light in a series of pulses, some patients describe the experience as a mild to moderate stinging sensation that feels a lot like a rubber band snapping against the skin.

Following this procedure, you may notice a bruise-like discoloration for 3 to 4 days. You can expect the treated area(s) to fade to a pinkish or beige color, with complete skin clearing in 6 weeks to 6 months.

The number and length of treatments required will depend on the size, location and depth of the veins needing treatment. Repeated treatments may be required in some cases. This would be discussed in your consultation.

Call our office to schedule an appointment today. 281-861-1100




Medical Microdermabrasion

Monday, September 26, 2011

Holiday parties are just around the corner, stop by let us help you  reveal your natural beauty.

Microdermabrasion is a treatment that improves wrinkles, overall skin texture, and pigmentation damage by removing the top layer of skin leaving it more supple, softer, smoother and vibrant.  It also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance.  Microdermbrasion skin resurfacing is the process of using a vacuum and a small stainless steel diamond encrusted wand to gently remove the dead layers of skin. Over the years, microdermabrasion has proven to be one of the most popular and effective treatments promoting,   glowing, healthy, rejuvenating dull looking skin.  

Treatment s can be beneficial alternatives or may compliment any chemical or laser peels. Treatments can be performed on most skin types. Results can be seen almost immediately. Ideal for a special event or as a program for overall skin rejuvenation, this treatment is non-invasive, painless, and requires no downtime from work or social activities.

Benefits of Crystal-Free Microdermabrasion can improve:

  • Oily skin
  • Age spots
  • Sun-damage
  • Blotchy spots
  • Acne blemishes
  • Superficial Scars
  • Overall skin tone and texture

For maximum results a series of treatments is recommended.




Summer Chemical Peels – Are they safe?

Thursday, September 08, 2011

So you hate your skin and want it glowing for those luau parties that are coming up this summer. You want brighter, tighter and smooth skin. How can you acheive the results that you want without damaging it further by the suns harmful UV rays?

Most people believe that peels, resurfacing and laser treatments cannot be done during the hot summer months. It is true that it is definatley not safe to have any of these treatments if you are not going to be committed to wearing a true sunblock, re-applying it every couple of hours, and shying away from being in the sun. However, if you are someone who is willing to be diligent in protecting your skin and use appropriate skin care regimen  you can definately start revealing that smooth healthy skin that is hiding under that dead dull skin!

There are many different types of peels. Although at Reveal Med Spa we offer deeper peels that cause the skin to peel for 1-2 weeks, we also offer light mild peels that in some cases you will not see visible peeling. These are the most popular in the summer because most of our patients don’t want to do heavy peeling in the summer. They just want to look great.

Our newest and most popular mild peel is the ACAI BERRY LACTIC peel which is a phenomenol peel that our patients truly love. It only takes about 15-20 minutes to do, it has minimal stinging sensation when compared to traditional peels, there is no visible peeling and the skin looks great in just 3-4 days! This peel has a mild lactic peel which helps with cell turnover, reducing brown spots, and smoothing the skin.

Really want to know if Chemical Peel is for you? Call us today at 281-861-1100 and book an appointment today.




Epidermal Leveling

Tuesday, May 17, 2011

Since I learned of this fantastic simple, yet effective treatment, it has been one of my favorite types of manual exfoliation. Epidermal Leveling, Dermaplaning, Blading or Leveling of the the skin removes the outer most layers of dead skin cells on the face leaving the skin immeadiately smooth, supple and vibrant! Similar effects when compared to the ever epic Microdermabrasion – except its not done with a machine that abrades the skin and it does not have suction. Instead a #10 blade (yes, a sterile surgical blade) is held against the skin at a 45 degree angle and stroked gently along skin that is being held taut. Along with dead skin, pesky vellous hair is removed as well.  But don’t worry ladies, this treatment will not cause your hair to grow in thicker, coarser, or darker. Your hair will grow back eventually. In my case, I have less of it and it’s actually much finer now.

This treatment, when professionally performed, is an extremely safe and effective procedure.  There is no more risk to the skin than when a man shaves his face.  Is there risk of nicking the skin? Well, of course. In the procedure a surgical blade is being used on the skin. Even the practitioner who is trained and done many can still cause a nick in the skin, but it is usually quick to heal. But how often does that occur?  For some, more often than they’d like, but for most, it doesn’t happen that often, if ever, because we have practiced and trained for several years to perfect the art of shaving.  Again, you want to make sure the person doing the treatment has adequate training before putting yourself “under the knife”.
 
Sometimes after the epidermal leveling your practitioner may chose to do a chemical peel or laser procedure of even added benefits. Although your skin may feel a little more sensitive after leveling, adding on e of these treatments can only optimize your skin treatment! Everyones skin is different, so ask one of our experienced practitioners today if epidermal leveling is for you!
