How about a Slimmer Summer Shape without Surgery?
Have you thought about liposuction for those areas of unwanted fat on your waist, hips and thighs but you can't take time off to recover from a surgical procedure or you simply wish there were an easier way? Spent time on the Stairmaster at the gym and watched your carb intake for months but can't get that stubborn fat to disappear? We have just the thing: it's called Zerona.
Zerona Body Contouring has been scientifically tested and proven to reduce unwanted fat on the waist, hips and thighs, with
‣ No surgery
‣ No recovery time
‣ No pain
‣ No incisions
‣ No anesthesia of any kind
It just doesn't get any easier than this and it works!
How does Zerona Body Contouring work?
The Zerona is an externally applied laser device that shrinks targeted subcutaneous fat. The fat is naturally absorbed by the body over time. It's an office procedure. You relax while we position the laser over the targeted areas. Each session takes less than an hour.
How many sessions are needed?
Depending on your specific body, it's usually a series of six, spaced out over a two-week period.
If you need more body sculpting, Dr. Hoffman offers both SmartLipo and tumescent liposuction, both of which are proven surgical body contouring solutions. "All my life I have carried extra weight. When I first heard about a non invasive way to use low energy laser light to facilitate weight loss I was skeptical but interested. After visiting the office and reading all the material I gave it a try. There is no question that it jump started me in a big way to work on my nutrition and work the zerona program. I lost 20 pounds in 5 weeks and 5 inches from my waist alone. I have kept this weight off for 4 months now." Paul D

Fairy Godmother Turns Back the Clock!
 Wouldn't it be great if you could just wave a magic wand and look younger? Well, we have something pretty close to a magic wand. It's called Fraxel lasering and it'll make you look younger.
Although the 50th anniversary of laser technology is being observed this year, it was 1996 when the FDA approved the first laser designed for cosmetic purposes. That was a hair removal laser.
Eventually, the CO2 laser was developed. An ablative laser, the CO2 laser was, for many years, considered the Gold Standard for laser treatments. Using high temperatures to vaporize unwanted tissue and take away the top layers of the skin, it was highly effective at literally removing years of aging from the skin. Unfortunately, the downside was its substantial side effects and a recovery time of 2-3 weeks before the patient could go out in public.
Patients began to wish for a more gentle procedure that would bring about similar results with a very short recovery time. Fortunately, non-ablative lasers were invented, one of the first being the Fraxel Restore laser that we have in our office.
Fraxel lasering literally divides up the laser beam into tiny dots that look almost like miniature polka dots on the skin, placed in a tiny square pattern. The laser leaves some areas untouched, which allows the treated areas to heal faster than if the entire face were treated with the laser.
The Fraxel Restore laser can stimulate collagen regrowth in addition to removing lines, wrinkles, sunspots, acne scars and age spots. It can treat uneven skin pigmentation while improving texture and tone of the skin. The absolutely only "downside," (if you can call it that) is that it takes several treatments with Fraxel Restore to get the same results that can be obtained with just one CO2 laser treatment. The short recovery time makes it worth it, however, because you can literally return to your regular routine after a weekend.
"Fraxel produces amazing results. It's like a miracle wand that erases sunspots, fades freckles and diminishes wrinkles and fine lines. My skin
looks noticeably smoother and healthier without the years of accumulated sun damage. I love the youthful improvements and definitely
recommend it to family and friends." Judy H.
"Fraxel far outweighed my expectations. I had fraxel to eliminate areas of sun damage, but loved the added bonus of a younger look and less fine lines and wrinkles. I was able to return to work the next day. I would definitely recommend Fraxel to my friends." Susan A.
Fraxel treatments correct conditions like sun damage, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation. Dr. Hoffman offers other MedSpa treatments to rejuvenate the skin as well, like a chemical peel or BOTOX® Cosmetic.
