Men and women of all ages, shapes, and sizes struggle with areas of unwanted fat on both their bodies and faces. In the past, surgical procedures such as facelifts or tummy tucks were the only ways to solve this issue. With time, technology has become more advanced and options become more alternative. 10 years from now, Radio-Frequency technology will likely replace many of the surgical procedures that our Plastic Surgeons are performing with a knife today.

Let’s take a look at one of the more popular body contouring options in the market today: CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting uses an older technology, Cryolipolysis, to remove areas of stubborn body fat by freezing the fat cells from specific parts of the body. While CoolSculpting is non-invasive and has ultimately no downtime, it is less customizable, and does not actually tighten the skin like some of the newer technologies offered. CoolSculpting can take up to 8-12 months to see optimal results, and candidates will typically need 2 or more 35+ minute sessions to achieve 20-25% fat reduction.

While there are other body contouring technologies out there, the new AccuTite, BodyTite and FaceTite devices are the future within minimally-invasive body contouring for patients that need precision fat reduction, skin contraction, and tissue remodeling. The AccuTite is the smallest minimally-invasive radio-frequency contraction device on the market today and can be used to shape multiple areas on the face (FaceTite) and body (BodyTite).

BodyTite & FaceTite use minimally-invasive Radio-Frequency Assisted Lypolysis (RFAL) to produce skin-tightening results while stimulating the body’s own collagen production. During these procedures, fat and tissue are heated and extracted using light vacuum pressure through minimally-invasive incision sites. The skin is then tightened and remodeled to create a smoother look using the Radio-Frequency energy that is 100% concentrated at the treatment zone. 

BodyTite & FaceTite are great solutions for individuals who are looking to reduce fat and tighten skin without the downtime or visible scarring associated with other fat-reduction surgeries. The results from both BodyTite & FaceTite can be visible instantly and only require one treatment at the desired area to achieve up to 40% skin contraction, as shown in peer-reviewed clinical studies. While these procedures can be less affordable than other cosmetic options, this new technology can essentially save money in the sense that individuals can go back to work as soon as the next day. 

Dr. Mark Bishara, who completed a fellowship appointment at the world-renowned Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Harvard Medical school affiliate, gained state-of-the-art skills in body contouring after massive weight loss. Here at Paragon Plastic Surgery & MedSpa, Dr. Bishara offers minimally-invasive face and body contouring with the new BodyTite & FaceTite technologies in both of his Mansfield, Texas and Southlake, Texas locations.  

 
We all know that botox works for wrinkles but did you know it can work for breasts? Botulinum toxin type A can now play a role in inhibiting one of the most serious breast surgery complications-  capsular contracture.
Capsular contracture is an immune system response to foreign materials in the body. It mostly occurs from complications from breast implants and artificial joint prosthetics. It is followed by the formation of capsules of tightly woven collagen fibers tightening and compressing to the implant. It can occur in different grades and become very discomforting and painful to the touch.
Now researchers have found that botox can reduce the capsule thickness by injecting 0.5 mL into implant pockets and found it had also decreased inflammatory cells. Once validated in a clinical setting, this may be another use for the neurotoxin. In a published article in 2015 in the Archives of Plastic Surgery authors wrote about botox’s role and suggesting it may be effective in reducing keloid scarring, which is similar to implant capsules.
Current uses for Botox include treating facial wrinkles, hyperhydrosis, blepharospasm and migraines. This could be just another beneficial use for the neurotoxin after performing more patient research.

What exactly is a PRP Treatment and how it can effectively treat hair loss!

If your looking for a non-surgical way to gain control of your hair loss then PRP is your answer!  Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) contains essential proteins that stimulate natural hair growth for the inactive or newly planted hair follicles into a active growth phase, also the growth factors assist in healing and tissue regeneration.
Here at the Paragon Plastic Surgery and Medspa, Dr. Mark A.Bishara provides a wonderful experience with our relaxing spa rooms where we perform a series of PRP Treatments. When starting your treatments, we began by drawling your blood for the centrifuge where it spins to separated the PRP from the blood. You will receive a ring block on the scalp to have minimal pain experience. The palette rich plasma is then injected back into the area of hair thinning. To get optimal results schedule your treatments 3-4 weeks apart!

As a woman, it’s important to not only take care of your body, but feel good about your appearance as well. Having hair in unwanted places can be annoying for women who are constantly having to shave or wax just to maintain hair growth in places such as the bikini area, arms, legs, lip, and the underarms. Here at Paragon Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we take pride in our experienced aestheticians who go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied with your results throughout the 5-9 treatments.
 

How does laser hair removal work?



The hair follicles receive beams of light and absorb them, which in turn destroys the hair in that particular area. Nearly anyone with unwanted facial or body hair can benefit from this procedure. The ideal candidate would be a patient who has dark hair and light skin. However, our lasers are safe for all skin tones. Paragon Plastic Surgery & Med Spa recommend you visit our practice for a consultation to see if you are a candidate for this procedure.

 

Multiple treatments are needed due to hair growth at different times and in different areas under your skin. Paragon Plastic Surgery & Med Spa will schedule you in intervals of four to six weeks between your treatments with our aestheticians. Laser hair removal is pain-free, unlike waxing or other alternatives. The aestheticians here at Paragon Plastic Surgery & Med Spa will tell you that the side effects are minimal. After each treatment, you may experience redness, puffiness and sunburn sensations for a few days.

BEFORE

AFTER

 
Women in today’s society are typically hard-working mothers who average 40+ hours a week and are constantly on the go. Do you ever catch yourself looking in the mirror thinking of ways to fix the look of being dressed or tired all of the time? Here at Paragon Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we want you to consider these 4 reasons as to why you might want a brow/eyelid lift:
 

Appearance

Many woman face the struggle of low self-esteem when they are no longer in their 20’s and are starting to face sagging eyebrows/eyelids. The term “if you look good, you feel good” doesn’t always apply to the clothes you wear. This term can apply to cosmetics and the way you feel about your appearance. Dr. Bishsara and his staff at Paragon Plastic Surgery & Medspa want you to be happy with the way you look.
 

Control the uncontrollable

No matter how many creams you use or the number of times you remove your makeup each night, you can’t help the sagging of your eyebrows or eyelids without the help of Dr. Bishara. This procedure can revitalize drooping or lined foreheads and help you look less angry, sad, or tired and is often combined with others to improve the look of your eyes. The muscles above your eyes will also be altered to smooth lines and raise the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance.
 

Botox Alternative

If you’re considering a brow/eyelid lift, you’ve probably already several appointments to receive Botox. Botox usually lasts anywhere between 2-6 months, depending on the person receiving injections. Because of this, patients have to continue to call Paragon Plastic Surgery & Med Spa and make appointments to see Dr. Bishara to receive their new injection. With a brow/eyelid lift, you won’t have to continually come in for your routine appointment. You will already have the results that Botox patients strive to have!
