Cellulite? No Problem
Summer is the time when we notice the changes we’d like to make in our bodies. It’s only natural, when more of our skin is showing. We see it while relaxing on the beach, walking by a store window and getting dressed in front of our mirrors at home. But summer can also be the time for improving some of these features.
This time of year, many of you lament the dreaded cellulite. It’s one of the most prevalent concerns, with 85 percent of women aged 20 and older complaining about these dimples and bumps. Diet and exercise can help reduce your weight but neither can help you get rid of cellulite.
There is a solution, though. We offer laser treatments that can help smooth, lift and contour your body. The Cellulaze Laser can dramatically reduce the appearance of cellulite on your abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks and arms. It’s a minimally invasive approach to attacking this “cottage cheese” right where it begins, in the subdermal layers of the skin.
How does cellulite form, anyway?
These depressions in the skin are caused by several physiological changes as women age. First, the tissue underneath the skin hardens. Second, there is an increase in the quantity or size of fat cells pushing up through the tissue beneath the skin. Also, weight gain and aging causes stretching of the thin connective tissue under the skin.
How does the Cellulaze Laser treatment work?
Cellulaze uses a multi-dimensional approach to specifically target the dermal layers where cellulite is located. The treatment can be performed under local anesthesia in about one to two hours, depending on the size of the areas to be treated.
What is the specific process?
- The Cellulaze laser is inserted under the skin with a very small cannula (a narrow tube about the size of the tip of a pen).
- The cannula directs a controlled laser thermal energy to the treatment zone using a proprietary ThermaGuide and SmartSense intelligent energy delivery system to ensure safe, effective and uniform laser controls.
- The laser diminishes the lumpy pockets of fat, releases the areas of skin depression and increases the elasticity and thickness of the skin.
What results can you expect?
The Cellulaze Laser is the most advanced laser treatment available. This treatment flattens and smoothes the skin’s surface because it increases thickness and elasticity from below. It is backed by many years of clinical research to give proven results, lasting for a year or longer.

Lumps and Bumps No More
If you’ve noticed dimply skin on your hips and thighs, you’re not alone. Nearly 85 percent of women over the age of 20 experience cellulite. And 100 percent of them can’t stand it.
We can help you feel better. With the Cellulaze laser, we can attack cellulite where it begins, under the skin. Cellulite is a degenerative condition that creates dimples and depressions within layers of the skin. It usually appears in the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks and arms and is caused by physiological changes that occur as women age. These changes may include an increase in the size of fat cells pushing up through the tissue beneath the skin, thin connective tissue under the skin that becomes stretched or distended, and undulations caused by hardening of tissue underneath the skin.
With just one treatment, the Cellulaze laser can give you smoother skin.
Diet and exercise can help reduce your weight, but neither can help you get rid of stubborn lumps and bumps. Other treatments temporarily treat the appearance of cellulite, but the Cellulaze laser removes it by diminishing pockets of fat and releasing areas of skin depression. The result: increased elasticity, smoother skin.
Cellulaze is minimally invasive and FDA-approved. And, we were among the first on Long Island to perform it.
Come talk with us to see if Cellulaze is a good choice for you. Schedule your complimentary consultation today.

Spring Means Cellulaze
There is still time, so fear not the dreaded lumps and bumps. Warm weather clothing may be around the corner, but you can squeeze in a confidence-boosting cellulite-reducing treatment before it’s too late.
About 85 percent of women complain of cellulite, and many of you tell me that no matter how much you diet and exercise, the dimples and ripples persist. The Cellulaze laser treatment is a proven method for reducing the lumps and bumps in all areas of your body. With just one treatment, you’ll notice an improvement in the smoothness of your skin.
Cellulaze targets the cellulite under the skin, where it originates. Unlike temporary procedures or topical products that claim to treat the appearance of cellulite, the Cellulaze laser is the first and best method for directly attacking fat deposits for long-lasting results. There are many treatments that say they will get rid of the problem–massage, external energy devices, creams and lotions–but these treat cellulite superficially. They work on the skin’s surface, not underneath it. Backed by many years of clinical research, Cellulaze delivers a proven enduring result from just one simple treatment.
After the procedure, the cellulite in your body will continue to diminish, so you will see improvement throughout the summer. Start now and you’ll be well on your way to smoother skin on your hips, thighs, abdomen, buttocks and arms. You’ll also notice that your skin is more elastic and supple.
So, there is no time like the present, particularly when it comes to Cellulaze. Call my office today to schedule a complimentary consultation and learn more about how to smooth and tighten skin, safely and naturally.

No More Dimples and Bumps–Bear Your Skin with Confidence
With a month or so left of bathing suit weather, you have plenty of time to make a change and enjoy its benefits. If you’ve mastered the strategic art of covering up certain body parts on the beach, now is the moment to toss the towels, wraps and shorts, ease up on yourself and have some fun. With a little help from us, of course.
If you are self-conscious about patches of cellulite on your abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs or arms, come talk with us about the Cellulaze Laser, a breakthrough treatment that eliminates cellulite by attacking it where it begins, under the skin.
Here’s how it works: Cellulaze specifically targets the subdermal layer of skin where the root causes of the cellulite occur. We insert a very narrow tube under your skin. About the size of the tip of a pen, this tube, or cannula, directs controlled thermal energy to the area that you want treated. The proprietary ThermaGuide and SmartSense intelligent energy delivery system ensures safe, effective and uniform laser controls. The heat from the laser diminishes the lumpy pockets of fat, releases the areas of skin depression that form dimples and increases your skin’s elasticity and thickness.
The Cellulaze treatment can be performed under local anesthesia, and will take from one to two hours, depending on the size of the areas to be treated. Afterwards, you may feel a mild ache, similar to what you’d feel after a good physical workout.
The laser provides long-lasting smooth and beautiful skin.
Come visit us this week for a complimentary consultation.

Body Sculpting: Your Best Shape is Easy to Have
Body shaping changes the size, profile and parameters of your anatomy, refining and sculpting areas that fail to respond to diet and exercise. My philosophy is to look at your body as a whole, not as a sum of parts, to create a natural and balanced silhouette that suits your frame. In our fully accredited facility, I utilize many state-of-the-art methods for doing this, including Smartlipo TriPlex, Exilis, Thermage CPT and Cellulaze.
What Will Body Sculpting Do For You?
- tighten loose skin after dramatic weight loss
- restore a pre-pregnancy body after childbirth
- tighten up loose saggy skin and remove excess fat pockets
- eliminate cellulite and the “dimples” it causes
- give you a trim, firm and contoured body
- boost self-confidence and esteem
When Is the Best Time for Body Sculpting?
Before you have any body shaping procedure, it’s important that you are in good general health and are at a stable weight for at least three months. You may choose to have treatments on multiple body areas, and these may be done at the same time or at different times, depending upon your individual plan.
Here are some of the procedures that we perform in our fully accredited facility:
Smartlipo TriPlex is less invasive and more precise than traditional liposuction. It removes unwanted fat from specific body areas that have resisted even the strictest diets and toughest exercise regimens. The process actually melts fat, stimulates skin tightening and encourages collagen renewal, using three wavelengths of light and a tiny cannula the size of a small ballpoint pen tip. Smartlipo is particularly effective on the abdomen, neck, jawline, inner arms, male breasts, love handles, bra fat (overhang), inner/outer thighs, inner knees, chin, hips, buttocks, pubic mound and back of neck.
Exilis offers the newest advances in nonsurgical skin tightening to reduce unwanted inches and to lift and contour sagging skin anywhere on your body.
Thermage CPT is a nonsurgical facelift that will transform skin all over your body. The thermal lift will tighten loose skin on the eyelids, under-eye areas, abdomen, arms, legs and buttocks. Thermage CPT, the most effective lift treatment for a multitude of concerns, yields dramatic results without incisions and recuperation.
Cellulaze melts excess fat under the skin and removes the fibrous bands that pull skin into a dimple. It is a minimally invasive way of decreasing the appearance of cellulite in the areas where it typically crops up–the buttocks, hips, thighs, arms and abdomen. Cellulaze also stimulates collagen production, which thickens your skin.
As the summer approaches, I look forward to helping you devise a personalized treatment plan for reshaping and contouring your skin. I know that you will love feeling younger, healthier and more vibrant. Call our office to schedule a consultation and ask about our special Mother’s Day offers, too.
