  • How Fillers Can Help With Signs of Aging in Bellevue

    If you have noticed some signs of aging becoming more prominent on your face, you may have already begun the process of looking into solutions. Perhaps you have discovered that there are more options available today than the well-known Botox (such as fillers!), and are now wondering how fillers can help with signs of aging. 

    At first glance, these different approaches to smoothing those fine lines and wrinkles may seem extremely similar, so we wanted to take the time to clear up any confusion by introducing fillers, explaining what they are and what to expect, and going over the differences between Botox vs. fillers! Let’s dive right in. 

    What are Fillers? 

    There are a handful of different varieties of injectable dermal fillers, but the premise behind all of them is the same. These injections are a non-surgical, non-invasive, and minimally-painful way to address all of your aging skincare concerns. Injectable dermal fillers not only reduce the fine lines and wrinkles that come along with your skin getting older, but they also fill out particular areas of your face that may be less plump and supple, leaving your skin looking younger and fresher. 

    fillers

    Where Can You Get Fillers? 

    There are many potential treatment areas for fillers. This solution for aging skin can be utilized nearly anywhere there are signs of time passing on your face. From lips and mouth to nose and cheeks and more, injectable dermal fillers can be utilized to bring you back to your youthful luster. 

    What Results to Expect with Fillers

    Injectable dermal fillers have many benefits, and there are numerous great results that you can expect to achieve with your first treatment. Immediately, you should notice fine lines and wrinkles become smoother, if not disappear almost entirely. Your skin will also appear plumper and more supple, giving you lift and smoothness where you once had it before and eliminating the inevitable sag that often comes with a decline in hyaluronic acid and collagen production. Speaking of collagen, another result you can expect with fillers is stimulation of your natural collagen production, leading to your skin gaining the ability to repair itself and become healthier in addition to looking fresh and young again! 

    fillers

    Botox vs. Fillers

    You may be reading through this and thinking to yourself, “what is the difference between Botox vs. fillers?” It’s true that these approaches seem very similar in nature and in results, so what makes them unique from each other? While Botox seeks to temporarily paralyze portions of your face that may be more susceptible to wrinkles, fillers address areas that could benefit from more volume or plumpness. In addition, Botox results last only 3-4 months, while injectable dermal filler results last 6-18 months. In either scenario, your face will look younger and more refreshed, but follow-up appointments may be required for long-term maintenance. 

    Fillers at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions

    At our Bellevue Med Spa, we have multiple kinds of injectable dermal fillers, and our staff is knowledgeable about the differences, so we know which one to recommend to you for your specific skincare concerns. One of our most popular fillers is Sculptra®. 

    Sculptra®

    If you are looking for an injectable dermal filler that accentuates your natural beauty and brings back that youthful glow, Sculptra® may be the perfect solution. This filler is derived from fruit acid, and is biodegradable with sterile water and poly-L-lactic acid. The sterile water creates subtle, immediate results. As the immediate results fade over time, the poly-L-lactic acid promotes collagen production to gradually smooth wrinkles and add volume.

    Sculptra® is perfect for individuals who want to add volume to their buttocks (like a “non-surgical” bottom lift). It is not suitable for around the eyes or lips, so if your main skincare concerns lie in that area, another option may be a better fit. Patients may need a series of treatments and it may take weeks or months to see final results, however, the results can last up to two years.

    Schedule Your Filler Appointment! 

    Are you ready to put your best face forward? Get in touch with our team of experts at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions to schedule your appointment for injectable dermal fillers today! While you wait for your appointment to come around, check out the secret to fall skincare, and learn more about these fillers in the meantime. As always, please reach out to us with any questions or concerns that you may have.

     

  • All About Body Sculpting!

    Body sculpting in Bellevue is more than a “modern trend”: it’s a scientifically-proven practice which can involve a variety of aesthetic treatments: from CoolSculpting to Emsculpt NEO. It’s all about combining results to reduce fat trouble areas, increase muscle tone and boost natural collagen production. There’s a lot to take in when you’re handed a medical spa brochure about treatments, so we want to take time breaking them down…

    “How Does CoolSculpting Help?”

    We’ve said it before and we’ll say it a thousand times: CoolSculpting can work wonders for the right candidates seeking fat reduction! It uses a process called “cryolipolysis” to freeze and kill fat cells on clients’ stomachs, glutes, abs, arms, legs, and more. An ideal candidate is close enough to their ideal weight but still has trouble areas they’d like to treat. You’ll start seeing results 5+ weeks after fat freezing, with full results after 3 months.

    CoolSculpting doesn’t make you lose weight; instead, it reduces fat deposits in areas you’ll notice most. If you eat more immediately after treatment, you will still gain weight. However, you’ll gain less fat in your treated area due to its smaller concentration of fat cells.

    How does this relate to “body sculpting”? CoolSculpting might just be Advanced Skin and Body Solutions’ biggest and best weapon against natural aging as our bodies turn muscle into fat over time. For the right candidates, CoolSculpting can reveal your body’s truly beautiful shape!

    “What About Emsculpt NEO?”

    Body sculpting in Bellevue at ASBS often requires a multi-level approach. When CoolSculpting fat freezing isn’t enough, we recommend Emsculpt NEO: Muscle Toning:

    Using HIFEM+ and radiofrequency energy, the device “flexes” muscles for you, like a gym workout (for a 30-min treatment). No sweat, no fuss, just contracting muscles in body areas that matter most: glutes, abs, legs, arms, etc. Your body then builds its own natural muscle. The “NEO” piece refers to radiofrequency warming your muscles to burn fat and cause deeper contractions.

    Does Emsculpt help body sculpting goals? Absolutely! Clients with lower body fat (naturally or with CoolSculpting) can get an hourglass figure with help from Emsculpt NEO. Glutes and legs are great areas to treat. Men can also achieve that “upside down V”-shaped body that many people desire. Our Cool Team Specialists for body sculpting in Bellevue know the best areas to recommend.

     

     

    We make the most out of CoolSculpting and Emsculpt at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions. Body sculpting in Bellevue has caught on as a major aesthetics practice. Our Cool Team is proud to have transformed the lives of hundreds upon hundreds of clients!

    We offer FREE CONSULTATIONS for treatments. You can also call or text our team at (425) 643-5772 and we’re happy to assist you. 📲

  • The Secret to Fall Skin Care

    The Secret to Fall Skin Care

    Do you know the secret to fall skin care? As seasons change, many of us start to notice changes that are evident on our skin as well. It can be tricky business navigating how to improvise, adapt, and overcome these changes and challenges. 

    Whatever your skin care concerns are, there are solutions to implement to get the skin of your dreams. Ready to perfect your fall skin care routine? Let’s get started! 

    Medical Grade Skin Care

    When it comes to finding top of the line skin care for any trouble spots you are experiencing, your best option is medical grade skin care. There is a tremendous amount of research that goes into the formulas in these skin care lines, and since they are backed by science, they tend to be more effective at targeting whatever you are seeking a solution for. 

    This means that instead of a one-size-fits-all approach to skin care, you can have more control over the benefits you are gaining in your skin care routine. In addition, many medical grade skin care lines are pieced together specifically for your needs, and can be adjusted as your needs change as well! 

    Facials

    Did you know that facials have more benefits than simply encouraging relaxation? This self care ritual can actually play a large part in your fall skin care routine. At Advanced Skin and Body Solutions, we offer many different kinds of facials, so we can ensure there is a solution for you! 

    Our facials are targeted for your unique skin care needs, whether it’s sun damage, hyper-pigmentation, acne, sensitive skin, or just a special treat for yourself. Our Master Aestheticians will have the best facial for you.

    fall skin care

    Chemical Peel

    This fall skin care secret may sound intimidating at first, but the benefits from it are astounding, no matter what your goals are! We offer a full range of facial peels that help your complexion appear more uniform and renewed, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving overall texture. 

    The benefits are truly endless when it comes to chemical peels, and this treatment is approved for all skin types on the Fitzpatrick scale, all complexions, and all skin textures. If you are looking for an overall revitalization of your face, a chemical peel may be the ideal solution. 

    Diamond Glow 

    Want something even more thorough to boost your fall skin care? Diamond Glow is a unique, revolutionary approach to medical grade skin care treatments, where you can experience long-lasting results with a non-invasive procedure. Diamond Glow creates a remarkable 3-in-1 technology that achieves very distinct steps. 

    This approach begins to exfoliate by removing dry and damaged skin cells. Then, it extracts by deep cleansing the skin’s surface and pores. During this process, Diamond Glow delivers condition-specific serums at just the right moment so that they penetrate deep into the skin. This exceptional procedure will take your fall skin care to the next level. 

    Fall skin care

    Natural Alternatives

    Have you ever stopped to think just how many chemicals are in many of the products you use on your skin? Whether it’s shaving gel or face wash or body lotion, there is a pretty high chance that there are some ingredients in there that you do not know how to pronounce. These can make your skin even more susceptible to breakouts, hyperpigmentation, and more that may come along with the changing seasons. 

    Instead of reaching for your go-to option next time you need a refill, consider switching to some natural alternatives instead. Coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter, and aloe vera gel are just a few of these natural alternatives that can be extremely beneficial to improving the quality of your skin! Our team of Master Aestheticians can help you determine which switches you can make in your fall skin care lineup. 

    Schedule an Appointment at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions! 

    Now that you know the secret to fall skin care, are you ready to schedule an appointment? Don’t waste time searching for a “Bellevue Med Spa,” we are right here! We even offer a vast array of other services, such as Emsculpt, injectables like Botox and Kybella, and so much more. Get in touch with us today to schedule your next appointment! 

     

  • Emsculpt: Get Toned Without Going to the Gym

    Fat is stubborn. We know this as fact and we also know that there are some areas that just won’t budge no matter how hard we exercise or how healthy we eat. It’s really discouraging and can even cause some to abandon their healthy and fitness routines. 

    Here at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions, we understand how much time and effort you’ve put into looking and feeling your best. So don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. You’ve done the work by living a healthy lifestyle, now let’s put the icing on the cake to tone, shape and contour the body you’ve worked hard to achieve! 

    That icing we are talking about, is called EMSCULPT. 

    What is EMSCULPT?

    What is EMSCULPT? EMSCULPT is a revolutionary FDA-approved treatment for toning and shaping stubborn areas of the body like your abdomen and butt. How? By mimicking the good old fashioned crunch exercise. In about 30 minutes EMSCULPT technology creates what equals to 20,000 crunches leaving your body toned and tightened. 

    Could you imagine doing 20,000 crunches?  If you did 100 crunches a day, it would take you 200 days to complete. Think about the results you’d get from doing that everyday for almost a year! Well, that’s what you’d get after 30 minutes of an EMSCULPT treatment! 

    emsculpt

    How Does It Work? 

    The first 2 letters of the EMSCULPT name stand for electro-magnetic. The technology uses electromagnetic energy to cause the muscles in your body to contract. Now, in order for your muscles to perform this kind of exercise, it needs fuel. So while this treatment is happening your body is feeding off stored fat in order to keep moving and performing. 

    This sounds exhausting on the body. Right? Well here’s the great news, it’s non-invasive and there is no downtime after the treatment. You may feel like you just performed a strenuous workout, but that’s about the only side effect you’ll have. 

    You won’t feel as sore as you normally would after a typical workout either. How? Because the EMSCULPT technology works to break down lactic acid build up which is the main cause of muscle soreness. 

    emsculpt

    Treatment Process

    Your treatment plan will be designed around your body and your goals. Several treatments may be needed to get your ultimate results, but in about a month you can see fat loss and muscle gain for a more toned and sculpted appearance.

    With EMSCULPT you can see a reduction in fat of about 15% and an average increase of 15% of muscle! You can continue to receive EMSCULPT treatments for regular upkeep and maintenance. 

    If you’re looking to tighten and reduce more stubborn fat around the body, you can combine with CoolSculpting for better results. 

    CoolSculpting uses cryo-technology to freeze away fat cells, stimulate collagen reproduction and tighten loose skin. 

    We’ve already added the icing to the cake with EMSCULPT, so why not add sprinkles with a CoolSculpting treatment? 

    These treatments can be done back to back with CoolSculpting and then EMSCULPT. After your first treatment you’ll notice a difference, and after a number of treatments you’ll start to see a change in your body shape, and see the results of these 2 revolutionary body contouring technologies. 

    Interested in EMSCULPT? 

    If you’re interested in this treatment, we are here to help. Our med spa, Advanced Skin & Body Solutions in Bellevue offers the best aesthetic and body contouring treatments and solutions available. 

    We are the leading med spa in the area and we pride ourselves on the dedication and care we give to each and every patient. No body is the same, so why should it be treated that way? Connect with us today to discuss the treatment options that work best for you!

  • 5 Ways To Clear Up Acne In Bellevue

    We’ve all had it, a nightmare pimple that happens right before a big event; an acne outbreak due to hormonal issues or even chronic acne that has outlived our teenage years. 

    40-50 million people struggle with acne and studies show that about 45% of men and women over the age of 25 experience some form of facial acne. 

    So, what we are saying is that acne doesn’t just disappear when we are 18-20 years old. 

    You can try creams, serums and other over the counter products but that only “masks” the problem and doesn’t help to address it on a cellular level. 

    Kick Acne to the Curb

    That’s where we come in! Here at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions we have several ways to help treat acne and start to heal, replenish and revive your skin! 

    Our trained, experienced and dedicated estheticians are the TOP esthetic professionals in the field and will consult, analyze and treat you according to YOUR skin needs.

    No skin type is the same and we don’t believe it should be treated that way. Here are 5 ways we can help you find smoother, healthier and happier skin.

    Clinical Facials

    When you think of a facial you probably think of someone sitting in a big fluffy robe with a white mask and cucumbers on their eyes…are we right? 

    Well, clinical facials are medical grade skin treatments and just as luxurious but also get down to the root of the problem. Our Master Estheticians will work with you to crest the perfect custom facial for your needs. 

    Our clinical facials penetrate deeper into the skin and provide rehydration, replenishment and exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, smooth skin and kickstart your collagen reproduction! 

    HydraFacial

    If your skin is looking dull, dry, cracked and dehydrated, our HydraFacials are just the thing to perk your skin back up! 

    Our HydraFacials use Vortex Fusion technology to cleanse, peel, extract, hydrate and infuse and protect! 

    Skin rejuvenation and rehydration is the goal of this facial and is perfect for those who have acne, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, or oily, congested skin. 

    We can further customize this treatment by using serums that work best with your type of skin.

    Chemical Peels

    Even though this treatment sounds a little scary, it is actually a revolutionary treatment created by the marriage of science and skincare. 

    Chemical peels use acidic formulas to remove the top layers of the skin by exfoliating and cleansing the skin.

    Chemical Peels can vary in depth depending on your skin needs. There are light “lunchtime” peels, medium depth peels and deep peels.

    Light and medium peels are great for regular maintenance of acne and skin care needs. Deep peels are usually only done once and help treat acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and moderate wrinkles. 

    DiamondGlow

    Doesn’t the name sound incredible? Fortunately,it’s not just the name that’s amazing, the treatment is just as great! 

    DiamondGlow is a 3-in-1 non-surgical non-invasive treatment that simultaneously exfoliates, extracts and infuses skin with condition specific formulas. The extraction treatment triggers the skin’s natural healing process and helps to restore skin gently and effectively. 

    This all-in-one treatment gives you incredible results in just 30 minutes! 

    Whether you’re struggling with acne, dull, dehydrated, sun damage, hyper pigmentation, or other skin conditions, this treatment can help you immensely!

  • Estheticians Sheridan Wesley + Aubrey Baron!

    Jordan: Hello and welcome to CoolCast, all about our medispa: Advanced Skin and Body Solutions in Bellevue, Washington. Today I have with me Licensed Master Estheticians Sheridan Wesley and Aubrey Baron. Ladies, thanks so much for chatting with me today!

     

    Aubrey: Of course, thanks for having us!

     

    Jordan: I’m excited to get started. Last time we talked with Jennifer about CoolSculpting and this time we’re going to dive into some esthetician topics as you’re both Licensed Master Estheticians. Since she’s been here a bit longer, I’ll start with Sheridan. Can you explain how you started your career as a Master Esthetician, and how you found Advanced Skin and Body?

     

    Sheridan: Sure. Well… I tried the whole college thing and it didn’t really work out. I’ve always struggled with my skin, so I thought, “Why not focus on that?”. I ended up attending the Aveda Institute in Seattle, and I wasn’t very interested in what they taught. They had basic facials, but didn’t believe in chemical peels or microdermabrasion (they’re more “holistic”). But I still needed help fixing my own skin and acne issues. Next, I found Dr. Sabbagh who owned Washington Laser Institute in Federal Way. That was a Master Esthetics school. They were more medical and I loved their program! It opens a lot of doors when you become a Master Esthetician. I was job hunting and it was very hard to get an interview as I had no experience – none. I hadn’t even had a real facial before. I had a roommate at the time, who was friends with Aubrey…

     

    Aubrey: That’s right!

     

    Sheridan: Aubrey’s dad worked at ProClub where Jennifer – the owner – was a member. Her dad mentioned me and that’s how I got an interview, and got the job!

     

    Jordan: Full circle, and small world! I never knew that story, thanks. Aubrey, what about you?

     

    Aubrey: Originally, I was going to college for exercise science and nutrition. Just a few semesters. I noticed that everyone around me knew exactly what they wanted to do after school, what kind of place they wanted to work, etc. For me, I couldn’t picture myself in that field. I took a step back and asked myself, “What can I see myself doing on a daily basis?”. At the time our mutual friend was going through esthetician school, so I chatted with her. I decided to transfer out of my major, went to Euro Institute of Skin Care, then Washington Laser Institute as well. I worked in a medical spa for a couple of years but was ready for the next step in my career. I then reconnected with our mutual friend, got in touch with Sheridan, and I’ve been at Advanced Skin and Body for a few months.

     

    Jordan: Great, thank you! Sheridan, how long have you been here now?

     

    Sheridan: I’ve been here almost 5 years!

     

    Jordan: Wow, what a milestone! I’m glad to hear about your background. Now I’d like to go more in-depth on treatments. I usually discuss CoolSculpting, so I’m excited to talk about skin! What treatments do you both specialize in?

     

    Aubrey: We specialize in very similar things. Everything skin related. Skin resurfacing, acne, concerns about pore size, texture, fine lines, anti-aging, etc. Clinical facials, lasers, microneedling, IPL therapy, and more. Mostly on the face but much can be done on the body. Any skin concerns!

     

    Sheridan: We all have our speciality too: AKA what we enjoy most in that realm. For me, it’s acne for sure. Trying to help active acne, acne scars or pigmentation. That’s where I find the most joy, since it’s why I got into the industry. My acne people are like my little club, with a special place in my heart.

     

    Aubrey: There’s something really satisfying about taking people through that acne journey. Acne can make people super self conscious. We love helping them to notice a real difference in their skin. Homecare helps too, along with treatments.

     

    Jordan: I’ve known people who’ve struggled with acne very young, going through accutane… it’s great knowing that there’s a way to regain their confidence and address the issue.

     

    Sheridan: Sure, there are a lot of other options that aren’t so risky as accutane. You should make skin care a part of your everyday ritual. Make it sustainable long term.

     

    Jordan: I wanted to ask more about your experience with clients. What is one story, or your favorite story so far, of working with clients at Advanced Skin and Body?

     

    Aubrey: One client comes to mind. I had a client from California, and she didn’t wear any sunscreen then. She’s been a rockstar with her homecare, and we’ve been seeing her for Clear and Brilliant. She told me her husband is noticing, her friends are starting to notice, and in such a short time. It’s very gratifying!

     

    Sheridan: For me, I have one specific girl I’ve been working with for two or three years. She had a lot of acne (cystic), pale skin, red scarring – not okay with her. From the get-go, she was open to anything I suggested no matter how harsh. Every four weeks she came in for major chemical peels, regardless of downtime. With these you can peel for 7-10 days, so it’s not the most pretty look. But she was open to it. You need support! I’m currently peeling right now. Thankfully I work in a spa where I can peel and most people will copy what I do. 

     

    Jordan: Right, your coworkers understand why you’re peeling…

     

    Sheridan: Exactly, but my client was in nursing school while peeling. She peeled every month, seeing patients, classmates, she didn’t care. The goal was good skin, and she stuck through it. Of course, acne is something you deal with for your whole life, but she still comes in for maintenance peels. She always listened and did everything she needed to do at home. It made it much easier on my end as the provider.

     

    Jordan: I never knew that you girls talk to clients about homecare, and how to treat themselves.

     

    Sheridan: Yes! I always tell people skin care is like the dentist. We’re the dentist. If you only see us a few times a year, doing nothing at home, what are your teeth going to look like?

     

    Aubrey: Right, and I use the personal trainer example. You can see a personal trainer every so often, but if you aren’t following a specific regimen at home, you aren’t going to get very far.

     

    Jordan: Totally. Since you’ve both had experiences at other medispas, how has working at Advanced Skin and Body been different?

     

    Aubrey: I’ve had a few different medispa and school environments, and I would say working here is very positive! Everyone is super energetic. My first couple days everyone was acting like my friend and laughing all the time. I think clients can also pick up on that. The energy is positive, uplifting, and supportive.

     

    Jordan: I’ve always felt that way too. I’ve come in for years. You want the medispa to feel professional, but also casual and friendly.

     

    Aubrey: I’ve built a lot of friendships with clients that will probably last years. I think that’s important.

     

    Jordan: Awesome. What would each of you say to any listeners today?

     

    Sheridan: For anyone having issues with your skin, come see a professional. Don’t rely on Tik-Tok and Instagram for your skin care tips. There’s a reason we went to two different schools and took four tests. We don’t just slap a product on your face and call it a day. There’s a huge science behind it. Skin isn’t the same for everyone. What works for your friend might not work for you. Even if it’s a consultation, just get skin care advice. Come in, pick our brains. If you want to change something about your skin, there are so many options!

     

    Aubrey: Even if you’re just getting started, it doesn’t have to be intimidating. We can make it easy for you to build a regimen.

     

    Jordan: Great, thanks again for coming on the show to discuss esthetics!

     

    Both: Thank you!

     

  • Jennifer Talks CoolSculpting ‘ELITE’!

    Jennifer Washburn

    Jordan: Welcome to CoolCast with Bellevue, Washington business owner Jennifer Washburn of Advanced Skin and Body Solutions – the country’s #1 CoolSculpting provider. I’m Jordan, the Marketing Director here, and Jennifer, thank you so much for chatting with me!

     

    Jennifer: Of course, I’m excited to get started!

     

    Jordan: So, last time we discussed general CoolSculpting (what it does), but this time I wanted to talk about “CoolSculpting ELITE”, if that’s fine with you. For any new listeners, can you explain what ELITE is and how it’s going at Advanced Skin and Body?

     

    Jennifer: Yes! First of all, I want to say that we’ve used CoolSculpting for the last 5 years – we’re calling them “Legacy” machines – with great success. So when we start talking about new machines, I’m not going to knock the old machines because they were amazing. Legacy CoolSculpting helped us to get to our #1 status. We did thousands of treatments on people, and it was great. There’s nothing wrong with them at all. Jordan, I think you had the Legacy applicators when you came for CoolSculpting?

     

    Jordan: That’s right.

     

    Jennifer: Right. So for ELITE, in my opinion it’s the equivalent of when there’s a new iPhone that’s just better. It has a new camera, it has better features… Why use the older model when you could have the best? The thing we’re finding with ELITE is we get better, quicker results. It’s due to the way the engineers have designed the cooling cups. If you recall, the Legacy applicators also had a vacuum cooling cup, so we could identify where to treat, circle it with a marker, then suction up the fat. ELITE does the same thing, but covering more skin surface than the old applicators. We’re getting more freezing with ELITE’s design, and better results. One of the applicators covers 18% more skin surface! Also, there are different applicator choices. Something brand new is the “surface” applicator for outer thighs! We treated the area before, but now it’s better-fitting. Now we can treat almost any client regardless of thigh fat amount. ELITE is just really cool too, visually, the machine is much sleeker and more “2021”.

     

    Jordan: I would agree! Having shared a lot of social media photos, I’d say your iPhone comparison holds up. CoolSculpting ELITE seems more space efficient, sleeker, and its size has additional benefits. Aren’t you now able to wheel more machines in the room for added CoolSculpting?

     

    Jennifer: Yes, I forgot to mention that. It’s a given for us, because we always used two Legacy CoolSculpting machines in treatment rooms to “dualsculpt” two areas, simultaneously. When we got super busy, we’d wheel in three or four machines to “quadsculpt”, but it was crammed! Now, each ELITE device has two applicators. We’re able to really wind them around clients to target all fat areas. Now we complete client treatments in a quarter of the time, with QuadSculpting at Advanced Skin and Body! That said, we are so booked that being able to use two machines at once is tough. You’d have to book a while in advance. Right now we have four CoolSculpting rooms going almost full time, but we just ordered two more machines. We are going to have six machines in the near future!

     

    Jordan: That’s great to hear! I imagine it’s filling up, especially going into the summer season for CoolSculpting.

     

    Jennifer: Spring is even busier here! And in Seattle we stay slammed all through June, July, and August (when kids resume school). That said, it’s a whole new world out there with the pandemic, so we’ll see what happens in the coming months.

     

    Jordan: Got it. So speaking of CoolSculpting ELITE, can you give some examples of body areas that clients typically consider QuadSculpting? And how would you divide up the body areas?

     

    Jennifer: Sure. You could sculpt their chin, arms, and abs all together, since they are non-overlapping areas. If you freeze four non-overlapping areas, it’s fine. With abs, you can usually just use one applicator since it’s a smaller muscle. Possibly, you could also add two on your flanks for full QuadSculpting. Or, your outer thighs, abs, and flanks. We’re always trying to figure out ways to freeze more in less time. We’re also able to get great “tissue draw” with ELITE. That means: all of the fat goes to the top of the applicator, and you can feel the difference. Frozen fat feels like a stick of hard butter when we start your two-minute massage. As technicians, we can really feel the difference between Legacy vs. ELITE frozen fat. It feels harder since more fat cells are frozen. We were also the first to get ELITE! We’re the #1 CoolSculpting providers in the nation, so our friends at Allergan (CoolSculpting parent company) gave us early access to ELITE. We’re planning on expanding and being #1 in the nation for a long time.

     

    Jordan: With ELITE tissue draw, can you explain how the results are looking? Are clients losing more fat, or seeing quicker results?

     

    Jennifer: Yes, clients are reporting their results a bit sooner: ~4 weeks in. Ultimately, their results are better because the applicators fit better! In areas that didn’t have as much fat (posterior flanks for example), we’re seeing clients for one ELITE session instead of two. Not always the case, but we’re seeing this with certain body parts like the flanks.

     

    Jordan: Got it. And I know you were using Legacy machines for years before. Do you have any clients that have tried both?

     

    Jennifer: Yes, and I think clients are reporting that the fat areas feel more frozen. They feel their treatment is more “complete”. More than that, we’re noticing it looks most different when they return for after photos! The main thing clients have really noticed is how many technicians we have. We often have three technicians working on them at once . We just want to get the CoolSculpting done quickly. We basically have parties in our treatment rooms!

     

    Jordan: Fun. I really do want to try ELITE soon.

     

    Jennifer: Yeah, they’re great for smaller people too. I know you aren’t overweight, and ELITE could still work for you. The Legacy machines didn’t draw as much tissue on smaller clients, but now ELITE can treat smaller areas, smaller people, etc. We’re confident they’ll get the results they paid for either way. We also offer a “Great Results Guarantee”. We’re the only CoolSculpting provider – maybe on the entire West Coast – to offer one. I know Bodify in Scottsdale, Arizona offers one too. I’m not sure anyone else does. Basically, we only accept clients that we really think we’re going to get great results for them. Because of that, we do turn some people away. We’ll say, “we’ll treat you, but we can’t guarantee your results”. Sometimes they walk out the door, but we’d rather that happen than giving someone a subpar CoolSculpting treatment…

     

    When we do treat, we guarantee those results. If you come back for two sessions total and still haven’t seen fat loss (and weight remains the same), we will retreat you for free! We stand by your results. Now, this rarely happens that someone will do two sessions and not see results, but it can happen. In general, a good CoolSculpting candidate is someone who is close to their ideal weight, and generally stable in their weight. If their weight wildly fluctuates, they can do CoolSculpting but may not notice the results or be happy with them; regaining fat might make their results invisible. We have to compare apples-to-apples. Your fat cells can still get bigger all over your body if you put on weight, even after CoolSculpting.

     

    Jordan: Thank you! What would you say to someone who’s never tried CoolSculpting, didn’t try Legacy, but they’re just now hearing about ELITE?

     

    Jennifer: Well, for sure don’t go anywhere that doesn’t have ELITE. Do your research. And choose a facility with a lot of experience. If you’re listening to this from another state, look on CoolSculpting.com for a provider that offers ELITE. If you want to see who does the most CoolSculpting, you can filter for “utilization”: that’s who does the most in your area. Also, come in for a consultation! If you can’t come in, we offer Zoom consultations too. They’re very convenient for people. I’m doing six just today. I talked to someone on Zoom today who lived 30 minutes away and I’m glad he didn’t come in. He was about 80 pounds overweight and not a candidate right now, but he’s going to consider using CoolSculpting to achieve his goals in 6 months. We’ll get on Zoom together, and I’m happy to answer any questions at all. I can do a pretty good evaluation and we’ll go from there.

     

    Jordan: I can vouch for you! You’re good at explaining CoolSculpting, since you do it all day long.

     

    Jennifer: Definitely. Also, we are not charging an upgrade fee for ELITE. When people come in, they aren’t paying more. I don’t know how long that’s going to go for… So I would come in now, if you’re at all interested in CoolSculpting.

     

    Jordan: There you go! If you didn’t know, you can also call or text us at: (425) 643-5772. Shoot us a text, the front desk would be happy to book you. Jennifer, thanks again for chatting with me about ELITE!

     

    Jennifer: Of course. Take care!

  • DualSculpting With CoolSculpting ELITE!

    We’re always on the cutting edge of aesthetic treatments at Advanced Skin and Body in Bellevue. Have you heard of CoolSculpting ELITE? It’s the next evolution in fat freezing technology.

    dualsculpting

    While the older, Legacy CoolSculpting devices worked great, there’s always room to improve. One notable addition is another applicator per machine. Each ELITE machine now has two applicators that can run simultaneously. This allows our practice to offer QuadSculpting and DualSculpting in Bellevue!

    dual sculpting

    What is DualSculpting?

    DualSculpting is when we sculpt two “non-overlapping” trouble areas for a client. Clients love DualSculpting at Advanced Skin and Body! Common combinations include: abs and flanks, arms and thighs, chest and neck (submental fat), and many more. 

    It’s important that these areas are non-overlapping so we can target the exact amount of fat without causing skin damage. CoolSculpting is scientifically tested to work in short, 35 minute treatments per area. That’s how long it takes to freeze fat.

    We previously DualSculpted two “trouble areas” for clients by wheeling in two Legacy machines to the same room. While very effective, it wasn’t space efficient…

    Now we simply need one CoolSculpting ELITE machine to do the job. Two fat treatment areas, 35 minutes, then we often switch them out for other areas. It’s no wonder why so many clients CoolSculpt in Bellevue on their lunch breaks, as procedures are quick and easy.

    dualsculpting
    CoolSculpting ELITE, now with two applicators

    What about QuadSculpting?

    Here’s something we couldn’t do before: QuadSculpting. Before, we couldn’t easily wheel four Legacy machines into one treatment room, but now we only need two ELITE machines to treat four areas. 

    If clients want to CoolSculpt four areas, we can do so in record time. This is efficient for our patients, especially those with more fat to freeze. We often hear from clients with 4+ trouble areas (which can be stressful for them), and it’s great to help them quickly and more effectively than ever.

    We still set patients up with Netflix to relax and lounge, of course, but sessions fly by faster with the new ELITE devices.

    How is CoolSculpting ELITE freezing, so far?

    New technology can often come with challenges, but not with ELITE. It’s a vast improvement over the Legacy devices. Clients are noticing fat loss results in 5+ weeks (perhaps a bit sooner), and our CoolSculpting technicians are feeling that fat is much more frozen; When they remove the cold applicators to massage fat, it’s harder to the touch. This means a higher percentage of fat cells are killed with ELITE.

    ELITE CoolSculpting “tissue draw” is better too, covering ~18% more skin surface. Tissue draw is how much fat gets pulled into the applicator. More draw means a better treatment for your money. This is why ELITE-frozen fat feels different – it’s penetrating deeper into your fat.

    Any side effects?

    ELITE side effects are nothing clients aren’t already used to. CoolSculpting can cause mild discomfort when we massage your frozen fat, and some post treatment itching and numbness. But it’s an easy procedure. That’s part of why it became a national sensation.

    The great news? ELITE is the same. Clients have not commented on any worse side effects or sensations, though the treatment is even stronger. They’ve been thrilled with the results. We love to explain CoolSculpting technology and describe the new applicators to our clients. 

    As the nation’s top CoolSculpting provider, we were 1st on the West Coast to receive ELITE machines! If you’re at all interested in fat freezing, make sure you select a medispa that offers ELITE. It’s stronger and more effective. Why get the old iPhone after the new one comes out, right?

    We’re available to answer any questions or book you a free virtual consultation, just text us: (425) 643-5772. Thank you.
