What is Ultherapy®? A Non Invasive Treatment

Non-invasive skin care treatments have been increasing in popularity over the last few decades. Where people used to turn to more involved methods of improving their skin and looking more youthful, things like facelifts and Botox injections, they are now trying to get the same results without all the needles.

With newer options like Miami Skin Ultherapy® at Miami Skin Institute, you can get the skin you want without the recovery time that comes with many of the other options out there.

Let’s Talk Ultherapy®

Ultherapy® is often considered the gold standard when it comes to non-surgical lifting and skin tightening technology. In fact, it is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that claims to lift the skin on the neck, chin, and brow.

What You Need To Know About Lip Filler Before You See A Doctor

Are you considering lip fillers? Besides the eyes, the lips are the first thing that many people see first when they meet someone (when they’re not wearing a mask, that is). They also tend to be something that people are very self conscious about, which leads many people to seek out treatment options to enhance the shape and fullness of their lips.

But is there anything that you need to know about lip fillers before heading to the doctor?

What You Should Know About Laser Fat Removal

Fat is a normal part of life. Even the most fit people have fat somewhere on their bodies, even if it is in small amounts. Where that fat is located, and how much is there, can have a major impact on how the body is shaped and how you feel about yourself.

That’s why so many people have been turning to nonsurgical procedures, like laser fat removal. Is it worth it? Miami Skin Institute digs deep into the process and its possible results so that you don’t have to.

Is Laser Fat Removal The Same As Liposuction?

The upside to laser fat removal, when compared with liposuction, is that it requires far less downtime, zero hospital stay, lower cost, and virtually no risk.

Liposuction is the t...
