Are you tired of paying every 6 months for injections to maintain your youthful appearance?  If you answered yes, then you may want to consider......

Fat Transfer 

     The aging process causes collagen and elasticity to progressively to break down causing wrinkles to appear.  In addition, the loss of subcutaneous fat in our faces, causes a tired and aged appearance.       

     Fat Transfer is a natural approach to restoring a more youthful look that does not involve general anesthesia, removal of skin or stitches.  Fat Transfer can be performed alone without any surgery or combined with a face lift for a more satisfactory result. The procedure is done in Dr. Cutolo's office under a local anesthesia.  The fat is harvested from an area on your body, such as your abdomen.  The fat is then treated and filtered to it's  purest , most concentrated state, then injected into the desired facial area. 

What Is Fat Transfer and its downside?

      Fat Transfer is also called fat grafting, facial fat rejuvenation, free fat transfer, autologous fat grafting or transfer, micro-lipo injection, and fat injections. Fat Transfer is the process of taking small amounts of fat from one part of the body and reimplanting it most commonly into the facial area. The final result is transforming the aging face to a more youthful appearance.   As a volumizing filler, your own fat is almost perfect. It is soft, feels natural, and does not cause immune problems. 

          The main downside to fat transfer is that your body, to some degree, tends to absorb some of the fat that was implanted.  The amount of fat that is implanted and then absorbed by your body varies depending on the individual and the area being injected.  For this reason, we tend to 'overcorrect,' or inject more than we need to, knowing that after a few weeks the final result will be more to the patient's satisfaction. If we inject less, the patient may be happy with the initial result, but be disappointed over time as the results 'disappear'. Although the aging process is continual, the final results of Fat Transfer are excellent, long lasting and economical. 

Who is a candidate for Fat Transfer?

          All candidates need to be in good health and not have any active diseases (such as poor wound healing) or pre-existing medical conditions.  As for any cosmetic procedure, realistic expectations are important to the outcome.  Fat Transfer can make you look more youthful and less tired.

Which filler is right for me?

  The beauty part about voluminizing the face is that there are plenty of options and all will help you achieve your goal. Keep in mind, the variety of fillers out on the market not all created equal. Depending on the area needed for volumizing, each filler has its specialty and will be discussed with you in Dr. Cutolo, Jr.'s office.  

      Remember, your goal and your safety are extremely important to Dr. Cutolo, Jr. and it is best to explore all your options.  In addition to Fat Transfer, we offer other fillers such as:  Radiesse, Voluma, Belotero,  & Juvederm . 

      All fillers are injected in the office with minor or little discomfort.  Although downtime varies according to filler used and each individual, it is recommended to schedule your appointment around your social calendar.

 Our Micro-current treatment is a non-invasive treatment for the face, eyes and neck for an instant lifting effect.  It is especially effective for those who want that lift without the surgery. Each muscle is stimulated in the face and neck to improve tonicity by eliminating toxins and firming the skin.  The lifting effect is spectacular, the face is redefined, the skin is revitalized, the features are smooth and rejuvenated. 

 

     

How does the micro-current work? A micro-current  facial works by applying gentle electric stimulation to the surface of the skin using fine dual prongs applied to various regions of the face. It is not at all painful. You may experience slight tingling but most people find it relaxing and many actually fall asleep.The use of electrodes to stimulate facial muscles is nothing new. The technology was originally developed to treat patients with facial palsy and in sport to give intensive therapy for injuries.  Once the visible improvements in the tone and texture of the skin became apparent – microcurrent systems were also developed for the beauty industry.  

Do micro-current facials work? The technology has been thoroughly tested and results have been very impressive. Clinical studies have shown that after twenty days of treatment collagen production increases by 14 percent, elastin increases by 48 percent, and blood circulation increases by 38 percent. All of which – it goes without saying – is great news for your skin.  Scientists have also found that a microcurrent facelift triggers the body’s production of amino acids and ATP (cellular energy). Both of these increase the rate of cell repair and promote healthier cell production.

Advantages of micro-current treatments: Apart from the lower cost, lack of downtime, and pain there are other advantages compared with conventional plastic surgery.  Most micro-current systems work on both the appearance of the skin and the strength of the supporting muscle tissue underneath the skin. Plastic surgery on the other hand does not improve the condition of your skin.  A micro-current facial also increases lymphatic drainage which means reduced facial puffiness and eye bags as well as a brighter more radiant complexion. Skin tone is improved and overall radiance is boosted.  

Reviews of Microcurrent facials:  Many women who use micro-current as an anti aging treatment go for a regular micro-current facials and express positive views about what it does for them. The most common criticism from those that express disappointment is that results are not as radical as hoped.  If you have a lot of loose skin and facial sag then a micro-current facial will probably not deliver transformational results.  Like any so called “ non surgical face lifts” a micro-current  treatment will deliver mild to moderate lifting and firming results over time – rather than the immediate impact you are likely to get from facial surgery.  But many people comment that micro-current facials deliver other improvements in overall skin radiance that surgery alone can’t deliver.

How many micro-current facials do you need? The exact number you need will depend on your skin tissue and muscle tone at the time you start – not necessarily on your age.  After the initial course of micro-current treatments, you only need to return for a booster treatment on average around every 4-6 weeks. If you don’t follow the maintenance plan – you’ll lose the improvements in tone, radiance and lift.

Obviously this isn’t a small amount of money but compared with facial plastic surgery a course of micro-current treatments is great value. And you won’t need to spend the $1000 all over again five years down the line. Provided you stick with a maintenance schedule your results will last – unlike some other types of non surgical treatments which need to be repeated as improvements are lost over time.

Frequency suggested: Intensive treament: 1 session a week for 1 month.  Maintenance treatment: 1 session every 4 - 6 weeks.

Rx:  Most skin types.  Not suitable for clients with Rosacea, pustular acne conditions, heart conditions, seizures, extensive dental work (bridges, dental implants,  etc..) or high blood pressure.

Introducing 

ULTRA PEEL FORTE 

 Those with resilient skin who have more dramatic wrinkling, sun damage and residual scarring from breakouts are the most suitable candidates for this deeper and more active treatment. Ultra Peel® Forte will effectively treat aging skin, breakouts, pigment disorders, smoker’s skin and photo-damaged skin.

This treatment is ideal for dehydrated and aging skin in need of rejuvenation.

 

 Key ingredients:

 Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) (20%) – is a peeling agent commonly used to remove fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring.

 Lactic Acid (10%) – is an alpha hydroxy acid naturally found in milk and sugars. It breaks down bonds between cells (desmosomes) to allow for easier exfoliation of dead surface cells while hydrating the skin. It also functions as a melanogenesis inhibitor by suppressing the formation of tyrosinase.

 Kojic Acid – is an antibacterial agent and melanogenesis inhibitor that is naturally found in mushrooms. Its ability to chelate copper away from tyrosinase and decrease the number of melanosomes and dendrites makes it highly effective in reducing hyperpigmentation.

 Azelaic Acid – is an effective melanogenesis inhibitor that helps to brighten uneven complexions. Azelaic acid is also effective for fighting breakouts because of its bactericidal and antimicrobial action. It has exfoliating and disinfecting properties that are most effective when used in combination with alpha hydroxy acids. Azelaic acid helps to normalize keratinization in the skin.

 L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – is a powerful water-soluble antioxidant that is the only bio-available form of vitamin C for the skin. It is also a cofactor for an enzyme crucial in the synthesis of collagen (prolyl hydrolase) and is an antioxidant agent that provides important protection against damage induced by UV radiation. Vitamin C also improves skin elasticity and decreases wrinkles by stimulating collagen synthesis. Additionally, it reduces erythema and acts as a melanogenesis inhibitor. It functions as an MMPi by controlling the expression of inflammatory enzymes
