Julie’s Favorite Product: Clarisonic Pro Face & Body

Published

One of my favorite products is the Clarisonic brush. I’ve been asked by many patients whether it really works. My answer is always, YES! I have seen dramatic changes in my patient’s skin in texture, skin tone, brightening effects and significantly reduced number of breakouts.The Clarisonic has micro-vibrations that gently loosen dead skin cells and makeup making it more effective than manual cleansing. Clarisonic is the only brand that has been approved to be used after a chemical peel during the post care period. The Clarisonic brand sets itself apart from all other brands on the market because of its superior quality.

One of the best features of the device is the choice of brush heads depending on your specific skin type. So, whether your skin is sensitive, acne prone or contains blackheads, there is a specific brush that would fit your skin needs. Also, the body brush and extension handle is great for use on the back as well as back acne and KP (keratosis pilaris).

Cleansing benefits:

  • Removes 6x more makeup than manual cleansing.
  • Leaves skin feeling and looking smoother.
  • Removes impurities that keep creams and serums from working their best.
  • Gentle enough to use twice a day.
  • Reduces redness associated with old blemishes.
  • Minimizes the appearance of visible pores.

Clarisonic has been on the market since 2001. The new Clarisonic PRO for face and body is available exclusively through skincare professionals, is beauty engineering at its most advanced. I highly recommend the PRO model to all of my patients. Also, don’t forget to register your Clarisonic online to extend your warranty.

Remember, healthy, beautiful skin begins with the Clarisonic. Using it every day will make a noticeable difference in your skin. Your skin will be smooth, clean, vibrant and changed!

What is EMSCULPT NEO?: Your Guide to Non-Invasive Body Contouring

EMSCULPT has emerged as a game-changer for those seeking a non-invasive body contouring solution. But what exactly is EMSCULPT, and how does it work? This guide will delve into the details of this innovative technology and its newer counterpart, EMSCULPT NEO. Understanding EMSCULPT EMSCULPT is an FDA-cleared device that uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce powerful muscle contractions. These contractions are far more intense than what you could achieve with regular workouts. The result? A tighter, more toned body. How Does It Work? When you undergo an EMSCULPT treatment, the practitioner will apply the EMSCULPT handpiece directly onto your skin on the target area. The HIFEM technology then causes supramaximal contractions in the muscles. In a single 30-minute session, your muscles in the treated area will undergo thousands of contractions, equivalent to doing thousands of crunches or squats. What Areas Can EMSCULPT Treat? While EMSCULPT was initially approved for use on the abdomen and buttocks, it has since received clearance for treatment of the waist, arms, calves, and thighs. Introducing EMSCULPT NEO Building on the success of EMSCULPT, the newer EMSCULPT NEO takes body contouring a step further. But what is EMSCULPT NEO, and how does it differ from its predecessor? EMSCULPT NEO combines the HIFEM technology of the original EMSCULPT with radiofrequency heating. This dual approach allows it to target both muscle and fat simultaneously. How does EMSCULPT NEO work? The radiofrequency energy heats the muscles and fat to roughly 108°F. This temperature optimizes an environment for muscle growth and triggers apoptosis in fat cells, causing them to die off. Meanwhile, the HIFEM energy contracts the muscles, just as in the original EMSCULPT treatment.   [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkjwcKJyLP4[/embed]   EMSCULPT NEO Benefits and Results EMSCULPT NEO offers significant benefits for those looking to sculpt their bodies without surgery: Non-invasive treatment with no downtime Builds muscle and improves tone EMSCULPT NEO also reduces fat in the treated area Results can be seen and felt relatively quickly, with optimal results typically visible after a series of treatments It's important to note that while these treatments can provide impressive results, they're not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. The best outcomes are seen in patients who combine EMSCULPT NEO treatments with a balanced diet and regular exercise routine. Is EMSCULPT NEO Right For You? EMSCULPT NEO can be an excellent option for those who are close to their ideal body weight but struggle with stubborn areas that don't respond well to diet and exercise alone. They're particularly effective for those who want to enhance muscle definition. However, these treatments aren't suitable for everyone. Pregnant women, people with metal or electronic implants in the treatment area, and those with certain health conditions should avoid EMSCULPT and EMSCULPT NEO. Schedule a Consultation For EMSCULPT NEO At Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, our experienced team can assess your individual needs and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your body contouring goals safely and effectively. If you're considering EMSCULPT NEO, we invite you to schedule a consultation. Our experts can answer any questions you may have and help determine if these innovative treatments are right for you.
