I am happy to report that Sculpsure just received its FDA approval for the treatment of submental fat this week. We just had our device updated today and will begin treatment in the next week. Unlike Sculpsure for body contouring where the recommended BMI is 30 or less, Sculpsure treatments for the submental area can be done effectively and safely with individuals with a BMI up to 43! Like body Sculpsure the treatment takes 25 minutes and there is no associated downtime. The FDA study reported 100% patient satisfaction.
Thanks for your question. Rejuvination of the area around the eyes (periorbital area) can involve a variety of treatments. These days often significant improvement can be obtained without surgery by using filler, botox or a combination of the two. Specifically, hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to tremendously improve the hollows that develop below the eyes. The sunken areas typically result from volume loss along the cheek bones over time. Restoring the volume to these areas is now done commonly and the results can look quite natural. I find that a combination of Belotero to the hollows just below the eyes along with Voluma to the malar cheek bones tends to produce excellent results. In addition, Botox can be used to reduce muscle bulging of the lower lids when necessary and injected into crowe's feet at the lateral aspects of the eyes to also make them appear more youthful.
Thanks for the question. Sometimes distinguishing between a mole and wart can be difficult especially in an area where the lesion may often be rubbed or traumatized. A simple shave biopsy for pathology should be able to provide a diagnosis. Other skin lesions such as seborrheic keratoses (which are benign) can also occur across the body and mimic both a wart and a compound nevus by visual inspection.
