Shrinking that double chin doesn’t always mean surgery. A simple in-office procedure using radiofrequency (called Agnes RF) can sculpt the face, and deliver firmer, tighter, more youthful-looking skin. AGNES RF stimulates the production of collagen and elastin providing long-lasting and unmatched results and a youthful appearance.  

AGNES RF allows you to go below the surface of the skin to either tighten things or reduce fat pockets under the eyes, on the jowls, or under the chin.  
 
This procedure also contours, and re-shape should you desire a more defined chin or jawline area. If you have stubborn fat tissue in the chin, jowls, and underneath the eyes but don’t want surgery, AGNES RF may be an effective treatment option for you.   (more…)

If you’re noticing signs of sun damage on the skin, you’re not alone. Sun-damaged skin is a common complaint among patients, as the sun’s harsh UV rays are capable of causing discoloration, sun spots, and even premature wrinkles. While it can be frustrating to see sun damage every time you look in the mirror, a non-surgical solution is available to help you achieve clear, rejuvenated skin: CO2 laser resurfacing. 

What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

As an ablative treatment, the CO2 laser utilizes light energy to remove the outermost layer of the skin and heat the layer beneath, called the dermis, to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. At Florida Face & Body, we use fractional laser technology, meaning that the laser only targets a fraction of the skin at a time. This allows for excellent precision during CO2 laser treatment, ensuring that the healthy skin surrounding the damaged skin is left alone.  (more…)

Are you struggling with dark under-eye circles? This prevalent cosmetic concern often impacts people in their later years, which contributes to a tired, aging appearance. At Florida Face and Body, we offer multiple treatments to eliminate under-eye circles for a rejuvenated look. 

Understanding Under-Eye Circles

Many people assume that puffy, dark under-eye circles are caused by fluid. This, however, is a misconception. The puffy appearance is caused by fat. Over time, as the skin ages, it loses strength, volume, and structure. This causes it, as well as the muscle and fat beneath the skin, to thin out. This makes orbital fat visible from the surface of the skin, creating the appearance of under-eye circles.  (more…)

Acne is an extremely common skin condition, impacting as many as 50 million people in the United States every year. While acne is the most prevalent among teenagers, it can also remain in your 20s, 30s, and even 40s. So, if over-the-counter acne treatments just aren’t cutting it for your complexion, you may want to consider professional treatment. 

At Florida Face and Body, we offer IPL therapy for acne. This potent treatment is an ideal choice for acne and damaged skin. Non-invasive and precise, IPL therapy can improve the appearance of your skin by eliminating acne. 

What is IPL Therapy?

IIPL stands for intense pulsed light. During IPL therapy, a range of pulsed light wavelengths are administered to the skin with a high-precision device. This method can be used to address many skin concerns, including scarring and hyperpigmentation. For acne, however, it works by eradicating the bacteria and excess sebum that can lead to acne. The pigment cells in the skin absorb IPL energy, which converts into heat. This heat then kills acne-causing bacteria in the pores. (more…)

BOTOX® is a neurotoxin that has long been used to rejuvenate the face. This time-tested injectable treatment reduces facial wrinkles and folds by inhibiting facial muscle activity.

BOTOX® was first developed to help older patients achieve a younger look. But, now, younger patients are opting for preventative Botox treatments to be proactive about their cosmetic goals. 

Preventative BOTOX® To Maintain Smooth Skin 

Repeated muscle activity in the face contributes to the development of wrinkles with age. When the muscles in the face engage, they can produce dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar (forehead) lines.  (more…)

The sun’s UV rays can damage the skin, leading to sunspots, discoloration, dryness, and even premature wrinkles. If sun-damaged skin is holding you back from bright, healthy skin, dermaplaning can help address the damage and rejuvenate your appearance. 

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment. A specially designed, sterile blade is used to remove the outermost layer of the skin consisting of dead, damaged skin cells and peach fuzz. The exfoliating scalpel used in dermaplaning looks much like a razor blade that you would use to remove body hair. (more…)

VASERLipo®

VASERLipo® uses ultrasound energy to break up stubborn fat before vacuuming it away through a cannula. It’s a gentler, more precise method of liposuction that allows for a shorter recovery period when compared to traditional liposuction.  (more…)

Liposuction is a common procedure for eliminating stubborn body fat for a slimmer appearance. Traditional liposuction is certainly time-tested and popular, but advancements in technology has led to new methods of liposuction for greater results.

VASERLipo® is one example of a revolutionized method of liposuction, and it’s one of the services that we offer here at Florida Face and Body. Let’s learn more about the differences between VASERLipo® and traditional liposuction so that you can select the best procedure for your needs.

Overview of VASERLipo® and Traditional Liposuction

Traditional liposuction can be performed in a variety of different ways. However, the general procedure involves inserting a cannula beneath the skin, then using a tool to vacuum excess fat from the area. This procedure requires around six weeks of downtime to recover.  (more…)
