Some months ago, I first heard of this minimally invasive procedure that reduces the appearance of cellulite using heat. Fortuitously, I was invited to cover a Dinner and Demo event at The Hotel Monaco in Philadelphia. The guest speaker was renowned Dermatologist, Dr. David Goldberg the leading expert with skin lasers, cosmetic dermatology, and facial rejuvenation.
My conversation with Dr. Goldberg was refreshing. He was honest and genuine, without agenda. Even though he performs procedures including fillers and botox, he also believes in taking care of your body from the inside out. Taking care of your skin begins at an early age. Starting in your 20’s there are important factors to consider. Wearing sunscreen is a absolute must! Not only does sunscreen protect skin from the harmful damage that can cause wrinkles, it more importantly protects skin from skin cancer.
Keep in mind that not all anti-aging creams are created equally, according to Dr. Goldberg. Fragrance, texture, and price point does not necessarily equate to effectiveness. Retinols are a key ingredient that you should look for in your anti-aging serums or creams. Growth factors repair skin damage and regulate cellular processes. Antioxidants work in tandem with growth factors. They protect the skin from free radical damage that eventually lead to wrinkles. Dr. Goldberg recommends Heliocare, which is an oral daily antioxidant, much more effective than consuming your weight in blueberries for instance. These tips will help slow down the aging process, which we all want to do.
Beginning in your 40’s you start to see signs of aging, wrinkles, minor sagging, brown spots are common and a yellow tint to skin, which signifies a breakdown in collagen. EndyMed is a procedure that uses 3Deep RF technology to target these areas and stimulate a production of collagen. Usually six sessions are the minimum. Skin is slightly red, but immediately the skin is tightened, the color is improved and can take up to 10 years off of your appearance! The power and depth are controlled, which eliminate any potential side effects. The energy produced by this radio frequency is gentle, safe, and effective. The 3Deep RF technology is essentially controlled and targeted energy flow with a minimal of the energy flow in the skin’s surface. The results are incredible and can last up to two years! This procedure can be used to treat acne scars, body contouring, skin rejuvenation, and skin tightening.
The EndyMed Intensif is a more advanced approach and can be completed in half of the time, used on face or body. This is recommended for those with deeper lines, darker acne scars, and body cellulite just to name a few. The RF Microneedle handpiece treatment provides an effective dermal remodeling deeper within the skin to revive and rejuvenate the natural production of new collagen and elastin. This stimulates the body to repair and begin the healing process, which ultimately refreshes the skin. The results: a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, traumatic scars, and cellulite.
I was pretty convinced after Dr. Goldberg’s presentation, but then after the demonstration, I was ready to sign up for treatments. However, I will take Dr. Goldberg’s suggestions and wait until I am a little older, making sure to take care of my skin until that time. If you are not interested in plastic surgery, more interested in a results driven, minimally invasive procedure this is the one to try.
