| Clinical studies suggest that 4-6 Raleigh skin tightening treatments
spaced two to four weeks apart in most cases will produce a significant
increase in dermal collagen, remodeling of dermal matrix components,
and a resulting improvement in overall skin tone and vitality. North Carolina cosmetic surgeons generally will agree on the amount of procedures that are needed to achieve the best results for an individual. |

Raleigh laser skin tightening
can be used to treat any part of the body that may benefit from softer,
smoother skin quality, wrinkle reduction, improvement of pore size and
texture, or elimination of acne scars. Provided by a North Carolina cosmetic surgeon,
a laser can provide beautiful firm skin on the face, neck, chest, upper
arms, legs and other body areas with no downtime and without the need
for potentially dangerous numbing creams. |

| The new dermal collagen that is produced becomes part of the structure
of the treated skin, and thus Laser Skin Tightening can produce
improvements in skin which lasts for years. Some North Carolina skin tightening
is so powerful that new collagen production can continue several months
after the treatment. Most people report improvement immediately, with
even more dramatic results weeks later. New collagen growth results in
continued skin tightening and the development of a more youthful
complexion with fewer lines, folds, and looseness of the skin. Continued
exposure to the damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun will result in
breakdown of both existing and new collagen over time, so a Raleigh cosmetic surgeon
will usually tell you that it is very important to protect your results
by limiting sun exposure, using a high-SPF sunblock, and maintaining a
healthy and scientifically sound skin care regimen. |

| Raleigh laser skin tightening
is a series of laser treatments, using a laser designed to stimulate
dermal collagen production and the regeneration of damaged skin cells.
The single-wavelength light energy produced by the laser targets
fibroblasts in the dermis, which produce new collagen in response to
laser energy. Increased turnover of skin cells is also stimulated,
helping to regenerate and replace damaged cells. A North Carolina cosmetic surgeon will typically have a preference as to which laser he or she uses to perform this procedure. |

Over the last several years, one focus of aesthetic medical technology has been on a means of Raleigh skin care
for improving fine wrinkles and lines on the face without prolonged
downtime. This is often referred to as non-invasive collagen remodeling.
This has traditionally been accomplished by a North Carolina cosmetic surgeon
with laser peels (carbon dioxide, erbium) or deep chemical peels
(phenol, high-concentration TCA), which resurface the skin by creating a
second-degree burn. The epidermis is essentially burned through and
the dermis is injured, stimulating new collagen production. |

| The Super-Wet San Diego liposuction
technique is similar to the tumescent technique, except that less fluid
is utilized. Typically the amount of fluid that is injected is equal to
the amount of fat that will be removed. This technique will often
require IV sedation or general anesthesia and will usually take between
one and two hours for a San Diego plastic surgeon to perform. |

In the Tumescent technique of San Diego liposuction,
as much as three times the amount of fat that is going to be removed
will be injected into the targeted areas. This technique is usually
performed on those who need only a local anesthetic and it can take
significantly longer than traditional liposuction even up to five hours.
Since the injected fluid contains sufficient anesthetic, however,
additional anesthesia may not be required. The name for this technique,
performed by a California cosmetic surgeon refers to the firm, swollen state of the fatty tissues when filled with the solution. |

| In the Fluid Injection technique, a medicated solution is injected into fatty areas before the fat is removed via California liposuction.
This is a commonly utilized technique of today. The fluid is a
combination of epinephrine (a drug that contracts blood vessels), saline
solution, and lidocaine (a local anesthetic) that, provides anesthesia
during and after surgery, reduces blood loss, reduces the amount of
bruising after surgery, and simply helps remove the fat more easily. The
amount of fluid that is injected depends on the preference of the San Diego plastic surgeon. |

| Patients of all ages may be candidates for South Carolina reconstructive surgery
if birth defects, illness, accidents, injuries, or other factors affect
the physical function or appearance of an area of the body. A South Carolina plastic surgeon
can perform skin cancer reconstruction, port wine stain removal, scar
revision, breast reconstruction, and other procedures to create or
restore a natural look or utility depending on his patients' individual
concerns or needs. |

| Large or overly prominent ears can affect self-confidence and overall satisfaction with appearance. Otoplasty, or South Carolina ear pinning, may be used to reposition or reshape the ears, creating a more flattering look. A Columbia plastic surgeon
will skillfully hides otoplasty incisions in the natural contours of
the ear, allowing for extremely discreet and natural-looking results.
Most patients are able to return to school or non-strenuous work in
seven to ten days. Both children and adults can benefit from ear pinning
surgery and there are a number of techniques that may be utilized to
accomplish various goals. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon
can develop an individual treatment plan based on your unique needs or
concerns. |
