Author: Hela Goren, vice president of clinical affairs for InMode Preview: We know that people want to defy aging. This is a human desire that has been around since the beginning of time. Egyptian queens Nefertiti and Cleopatra used aloe vera as part of their beauty regimen. Native American women have used jojoba oil as their secret weapon. As we age, our collagen and elastic tissue degrade, resulting in excess, loose skin. Today, we have more powerful options for maintaining our beauty. From lasers to face lifts and neck lifts, thousands of creams and Botox injections – there’s no shortage of options for improving one’s appearance. The Global Anti-Aging Market was worth $250 billion in 2016 and estimated to grow at 5.8% annually, to reach $331.41 billion by 2021. (Orbis Research) As a clinical leader in the aesthetics industry I believe it’s our mission to find the most effective, safe and convenient methods for people to achieve their goals and live their most beautiful lives. Many people are choosing to take advantage of minimally-invasive and non-invasive options instead of going under the knife. What’s the difference? With surgery, there is a longer recovery period and additional risk factors such as scarring. With non-invasive laser treatments, like our Forma technology, new collagen is formed and skin elasticity is improved using radio frequency (RF) energy. Forma is used on the face and is suitable for all skin types. Commonly treated areas include: forehead, crow’s feet, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, smile lines and the neck. Loose, lax skin is a common cosmetic complaint. Forma smooths and tightens the skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, reversing the effects of aging and sun damage. It’s completely painless – no anesthesia, no cutting, no needles and no downtime. Anyone who wants to stimulate their collagen for an improved complexion for a natural-looking approach to defying aging skin should consider a treatment with Forma. A case report published by a team from Tufts University School of Medicine and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy shows that Forma delivers clinical results: “In this series, all treated patients were determined to have an effective treatment resulting in skin tightening and rhytid reduction following a series of 4-6 weekly RF treatments; over 70% of treated patients were observed to have a moderate or significant clinical improvement. This represents an extremely high response rate, as well as significant level of improvement not seen with previous RF and other non-invasive skin-tightening technologies.” Today’s celebrities who are under pressure to maintain their appearance and still look natural choose Forma as their secret weapon: Celebrity facialist Joanna Vargas, based in LA and NYC and who has an A-list clientele including Naomi Watts and Julianne Moore, has a “Forever Facial” that is used often before red carpet events that includes Forma plus an oxygen mask. Check out this segment on Extra where she tells all. Cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. William Schweitzer, works with Lauren Kitt-Carter, a fitness fashion model who starred in the reality show “I Heart Nick Carter” (she’s the wife of Nick Carter). She shares her story on Extra about how Forma helps keep her skin glowing for the camera and herself. If you’re ready to have healthier, younger looking skin and want to start the age defying process now, Forma is a good, non-invasive option to explore for you. If you’d like more information, use our physician finder to schedule a consult for Forma in your area. Are you a doctor? Learn more about Forma here: FORMA  

The sun is the source of all energy, and when it shines down on our skin, it makes vitamin D and helps keep us healthy. But too much of a good thing, even sunshine, can lead to adverse effects that ultimately damage the skin. To help fight back against the damaging effects of the sun’s rays, meet Lumecca: InMode’s breakthrough intense pulsed light (IPL) skin rejuvenation technology. Lumecca allows clinicians to treat a variety of skin types and conditions with just a session or two, as opposed to the four to six treatments you might expect with other standard IPL devices. What is IPL? Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a groundbreaking technology that uses light therapy to target various skin issues, including the effects of sun damage. IPL has become a sought-after procedure due to its ability to correct a wide range of skin conditions. In the realm of IPL technology, InMode's Lumecca technology is a game changer. Lumecca uses a process in which light energy is converted to heat to target specific structures within the skin. With its powerful light delivery system, Lumecca is a form of IPL that can effectively reach and treat various skin concerns, from sun damage and pigmentation to vascular lesions and rosacea. What Causes Sun Damage? Sun damage is the effect of overexposure to the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays on our skin. The sun emits two types of rays that reach our skin, UVA and UVB. Both play a significant role in causing premature skin ageing, as well as eye damage and skin cancers. UVA Rays UVA rays make up the majority of our sun exposure and are present throughout the day. They penetrate deeper into the skin and play a major role in skin ageing and wrinkling. Extended exposure to UVA rays can cause long-term damage to the skin's connective tissues, leading to a loss of elasticity and the formation of wrinkles. UVB Rays On the other hand, UVB rays cause most skin reddening and sunburn. These rays tend to damage the skin's more superficial epidermal layers. It's the UVB rays that are primarily responsible for changes in skin colour, including dark spots, uneven pigmentation, and dreaded sunburns. Both UVA and UVB rays can disrupt the normal structures of different layers of the skin. Over time, this leads to changes in the skin's texture, colour, and structural integrity. It can cause an array of problems like hyperpigmentation, coarse or leathery skin, dilated blood vessels, and more. Aside from UV rays, factors like your geographical location, altitude, time of year, and even time of day can impact the intensity of sun damage. Australia, in particular, is known for having some of the world’s highest levels of UV radiation due to its proximity to the equator and often clear conditions. Its ozone layer has been significantly depleted over the years, too, making it less effective at blocking the sun's harmful rays. Despite our best efforts to protect our skin with diligent use of SPF, some sun damage can be inevitable. Fortunately, InMode's Lumecca, a specialised IPL skin rejuvenation tool, is meticulously engineered to rectify skin damage caused by years of sun exposure and help restore your skin's clarity and health. How Does IPL Repair Sun Damage? IPL therapy is a non-surgical procedure that employs potent flashes of visible light to enhance the condition of skin affected by sun damage and signs of ageing. The light energy is absorbed by the skin, triggering the body's natural healing process, leading to the removal of damaged cells and the production of new, healthy ones. This process can help to even out skin colour, reduce redness, and improve the skin's overall texture. Stimulates Collagen Production Through a process called photorejuvenation, IPL therapy stimulates collagen production. When the IPL's light pulses hit the skin, they are converted into heat energy. This controlled heat effectively triggers a healing response in the deeper layers of the skin. As part of this healing process, the skin cells start to produce more collagen, a protein that's vital for maintaining the skin's elasticity and firmness. The end result is a noticeable improvement in skin texture and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Reduces Pigmentation IPL therapy’s high-intensity light pulses are absorbed by melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and freckles. This light absorption heats the melanin, causing it to break up. These broken-up particles are then naturally removed by the body's immune system, leading to a reduction in the appearance of pigmented lesions and an overall more even skin tone. Improves Skin Texture & Tone By encouraging the growth of new skin cells and collagen, IPL can lead to smoother and more uniform skin. The heat generated by the light pulses also helps shrink enlarged pores and reduce redness, contributing to a more balanced and refined complexion overall. Minimises Fine Lines & Wrinkles Through its ability to boost collagen production, IPL therapy also helps minimise fine lines and wrinkles. When IPL's light energy prompts the body's natural healing process, it helps to fill in and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Enhances Overall Skin Appearance IPL therapy improves the overall look of your skin by treating multiple issues at once. It boosts collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, breaks down melanin to even out skin tone, and promotes new skin cell growth for smoother, more radiant skin. The result is a noticeably healthier-looking, refreshed appearance. InMode's Lumecca Technology InMode's Lumecca technology takes IPL treatment to the next level, providing a powerful solution for reversing sun damage by targeting pigmentation, vascular lesions, and improving overall skin texture and tone for a rejuvenated look and feel. In contrast to traditional IPL devices, Lumecca can deliver significant improvements in skin appearance and texture in fewer, non-invasive treatments, making it an ideal choice for both practitioners and patients whose goal is to achieve effective, efficient results. While the number of treatments can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the sun damage, IPL offers a promising solution for reversing the effects of sun damage.Find a provider of Lumecca treatments in your area today, and discover the magic of IPL for yourself!

The Latest Innovations in Cellulite Treatments Affecting up to 9 in 10 women, cellulite might be one of the world’s most common physiological conditions. A common misconception about cellulite is that it’s a side effect of weight gain, but this isn’t so. It’s a condition that affects women of all body types. And understandably, it’s one of the top things women would like to change about their bodies if they could. This desire to better control cellulite has led to many technological innovations in recent years, some more effective than others. So let’s review what’s out there and examine what we know so far. What is cellulite? And what can be done about it? Cellulite is caused by a shortening of fibrous tissue cords in the skin. This tightening pushes fatty tissues up to the surface of the skin leading to a dimpling effect. Cellulite tends to appear after a woman has finished puberty, with evidence showing it becomes more common with age. New technological advances are perpetually coming to market to treat cellulite. And with each new advancement, we gain a better understanding of how to better treat it. Finding the cellulite treatment that’s perfect for you There is a myriad of choices available if you’re interested in minimizing the appearance of cellulite, some of your treatment options include: Plus, Bodytite, BodyFx – Minimally & non-invasive procedures Cellfina– Minimally invasive treatment Cellulaze– Minimally invasive laser treatment Laser assisted Liposuction – Minimally invasive laser treatment Zerona – Non-invasive laser treatment Carboxytherapy – Non-invasive CO2 injections Acoustic Wave Therapy– Non-invasive soundwave treatments Ionithermie – Non-invasive treatments Vacuum Assited Precise Tissue release – Minimally invasive treatment Ultrasonic liposculpting – Minimally invasive treatment Before you decide what’s right for you, do your research and give the matter some serious consideration. Make sure that you consult with the medical professionals who would be performing your treatments before making any definite decision. Why? Because differing body types, underlying skin conditions, and the amount of cellulite involved all factor into finding the best solution for you. Let’s examine some of the more popular treatments available today… InMode Cellulite Reduction Treatments InMode offers a range of non-invasive cellulite treatments without the need for incisions, while delivering long-lasting, beautiful results. InMode’s cellulite treatment options shown below, work to reduce the appearance of cellulite and skin dimples, as well as slow elasticity loss in love handles, thighs, hips, abdomen and other areas of the body requiring fat reduction. The BodyTite minimally-invasive treatment uses RFAL (Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) and provides internal/external lipolysis (breakdown of fats and lipids by hydrolysis), delivering the same type of results previously only achieved by undergoing more extensive surgical treatments. Using BodyTite allows your doctor to detach the fibrous bands that surround cellulite, releasing the anchors that cause the pinching and puckering appearance of cellulite. The BodyFX and Plus were created around the success of the Acquire, Control and Extend technology (A.C.E.).  This method targets fat deep within the skin which provides consistent outcomes, with no areas under or over-treated. BodyFX is a non-invasive body contouring and cellulite treatment. It lets you discover a superior solution to improve the appearance of cellulite, reduce dimpled skin, loss of elasticity on the abdomen, love handles, hips, thighs and other areas that require fat reduction. This is the first and only non-invasive body contouring technology proven in peer-reviewed and published human studies to both permanently kill adipose tissue and contract the skin. FDA-cleared for improving cellulite, BodyFX is a “lunch time” procedure that helps give you smoother-looking skin with zero downtime.  There are over 7 peer-reviewed clinical publications backing it up, making BodyFX well-reviewed by a variety of physicians across the country. In addition, many people combine BodyFX with Plus for its added skin contraction benefits. Learn more about InMode cellulite reduction procedures or find a doctor near you today. Acoustic Wave Therapy In Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT), sound waves vibrate the connective tissue in the treatment area. AWT seems to improve skin tone and texture with enhanced elasticity, reducing the appearance of cellulite. According to a 2017 clinical study that investigated the safety and effectiveness of acoustic wave therapy for body contouring, concluded that this technology reduced fat but the changes were so small that they could have been a statistical error. Subcision Cellulite Treatments Subcision treatments involve a dermatologist using a needle to break up the connective bands that lead to cellulite’s dimpling effect. Once this connection breaks, affected skin can bounce back and smooth itself out. Patients have reported moderately favorable results with subcision procedures, however treatments are costly. Laser Treatments There are several different laser cellulite treatment options available these days. One of the most common, Cellulaze, involves putting a laser under your skin, where it breaks up the tough bands that cause cellulite dimpling. This treatment, among others (see below), also promotes thicker skin. This is important because a major factor in cellulite is the thinning of the skin, leading to easier dimpling. Stimulating collagen and elastin production in the treatment area helps improve the skin’s appearance. Initial research indicates that laser cellulite treatments may be effective in reducing the appearance of cellulite, however the more effective methods are extremely expensive, and can still be quite invasive, requiring more recovery time then other cellulite treatment options. Other Laser Cellulite Treatments In addition to the Cellulaze laser cellulite treatment techniques, there are also non-invasive laser treatments, such as Zerona, designed to help minimize fat. In these treatments, low-level lasers are focused on the skin, and the heat generated melts fat cells. The body then eliminates the fat naturally. While the testimonials for these products claim significant fat reductions, we mustn’t confuse fat and cellulite. Regrettably, non-invasive laser treatments do nothing to break up the fibrous tissues that cause cellulite. Carboxytherapy In carboxytherapy, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is injected under the skin. The idea is that the gas will destroy fat cells, improve blood flow, and bolster the skin’s elasticity. It’s also a popular treatment for stretch marks. But does it work? Well, the jury’s still out. Studies show that patients may see less cellulite using this technique. In a study where 10 patients had 8 carboxytherapy sessions, the researchers documented a slight decrease in the appearance of cellulite. Side effects of this treatment could include in-session discomfort and bruising. Vacuum Assisted Precise Tissue Release Cellulite Treatments Think of this procedure like subcision, but with extra cutting power. Instead of using a needle, this technique uses a device that cuts through the tough bands with small blades, then with suction, pulls the skin into the dimpled areas. In a recent study, some patients have shown improved results for up to 3 years. Downsides: Cost, as treatments can range into the thousands and longer recovery times then some of the other cellulite procedures. Ionithermie Cellulite Treatments Performed by a technician in a spa, Ionithermie cellulite reduction treatments involve an eclectic mix of ingredients. First, the treatment area is covered in clay. Or algae. Or a mix of clay and algae. Then electrodes are attached, and the area is wrapped in plastic. Once the treatment begins, the technician leaves the room. During the procedure, a mild electric current is administered. Some report pain and unpleasantness at this stage. The goal of the treatment is to reduce the size of the entire area being treated, possibly leading to the diminished appearance of cellulite. No independent studies on Ionithermie have been published, leaving the effectiveness of the procedure unknown. Some report feeling more toned, but their cellulite is still visible. Others report no difference. Those that notice results say they only last 12–18 hours. Endermologie Cellulite Treatments Endermologie is a spa treatment with a device that lifts your skin up using a vacuum and gives your tissue a deep massage.  Sessions usually take about 45 minutes. Patients report that it takes a number of treatments to see results. So far, studies of Endermologie are inconclusive. One saw no difference between the group getting the treatment and the control group. Another only saw a temporary reduction. Evidence suggests that if it works for you, ongoing procedures are necessary for lasting results. Patients tend to notice cellulite returning within a month when they stop treatment. Ultrasonic Liposculpting Ultrasound has been around as an imaging technology for decades. Now it’s being used as a non-invasive technique to reduce fat. Ultrasonic liposculpting is a relatively new procedure, and it’s too early to tell how effective it will prove to be. Currently, there’s no evidence to suggest it can reduce cellulite on its own. It may be able to help reduce the appearance of cellulite if used in tandem with another cellulite treatment, but more studies are needed. Laser Assisted Liposuction This technique combines traditional liposuction with the addition of a laser. But where the laser treatments mentioned above are minimally invasive, liposuction is not. This invasive approach usually requires general anesthesia and a long recovery time. Liposuction is proven to work well on small amounts of fatty tissue, but it’s typically not recommended for treating cellulite. In fact, it sometimes amplifies dimpling. Whether adding a laser to this process will help treat cellulite remains to be seen. Laser-assisted liposuction is relatively new, and its effectiveness still needs to be tested. Cryolipolysis Cellulite Treatments This procedure puts a whole new spin on freezing your body parts off. This minimally-invasive technique literally freezes fat before vacuuming it out from your body. But while studies show cryolipolysis is very effective at getting rid of unwanted fat deposits, it does nothing to help tighten the skin or break up the fibrous material that leads to cellulite. Non-invasive Cryo Techniques As with laser treatments, cryo also has some non-invasive options. These techniques involve destroying fat cells by freezing them through the skin. However, like cryolipolysis, non-invasive cryo only reduces fat and can’t break down the fibrous tissue responsible for dimpling. Mesotherapy Cellulite Treatments In mesotherapy, several injections are made in the treatment area. The injected substance can vary. Anything from caffeine and herbal extracts to enzymes and hormones. The exact recipe depends on the practitioner, making it that much harder to tell if it’s effective. Or safe. There’s little evidence to suggest these treatments work. Side effects reported include: redness swelling tenderness under the skin infection allergic reaction skin changes Radiofrequency Assisted Lipolysis One minimally invasive cellulite reduction treatment gaining in popularity is radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL). The technique varies depending on the device being used. All combine radiofrequency energy with suction to melt fat and remove it. Some also add laser or massage elements into the mix. Some temporary after-treatment bruising is common with RFAL. Questions?
