Menopause doesn't just stop your periods. It can affect your life in other ways too — including changes in your sex life. If you’re about to enter menopause, here’s how your sexual health could change during the months to come.
Every day on social media you see someone showing off their toned body after a workout or soaking up the sun in a bathing suit you can only dream of wearing. It doesn’t have to be this way anymore. You can get the body you’ve always wanted without extreme measures or surgery.
Our team at Bluebonnet OB/GYN specializes in WarmSculpting with SculpSure®. With this method, we can help you increase your confidence and shed that stubborn weight.
SculpSure® is a kind of noninvasive lipolysis, which means it’s a fat-eliminating process without the hassles of surgery. This revolutionary, FDA approved procedure uses medical lasers that target fat cells with heat and “melt” them away. The tiny lasers reach temperatures of 107.6 to 116.6 ̊F which is hot enough to attack your fat but will leave your other tissue undamaged.
SculpSure® can treat fat on your love handles, thighs, upper and lower abdomen, back, and even under your chin.
During treatment, you sit in a reclined position, and one of our doctors marks the areas you want the lasers to address. Then, a belt-like device is wrapped around you. For approximately 25 minutes, SculpSure® alternates between cooling and heating phases and works to permanently eliminate your fat. The heating phases treat the fat while the cooling phases protect your skin.
SculpSure® works best for people who have not seen results with dieting or exercise. Typically, you’ll start to see results within six to 12 weeks after treatment.
You’ve heard of popular weight-loss surgeries like gastric bypass and lap band. And while they may be effective in helping you lose weight, they come with inherent drawbacks. Here are a few ways SculpSure® is a better option for you:
Surgical weight loss comes with a slew of possible side effects including blood clots, bleeding, leaks in your gastrointestinal system, and infection. There’s even the possibility that you might need a second surgery.
Side effects with SculpSure® are much less severe. During treatment, you might experience some tingling or pinching. Following treatment, you might feel sore or stiff in the areas you treated. Some gentle massaging can help ease any discomfort you might feel.
If you elect the surgical option to lose weight, you’re looking at a few hours in the operating room and potentially a few days recovering in the hospital. With SculpSure®, you can have your treatment started and finished over your lunch break.
Surgery by nature is potentially dangerous. No matter how routine or simple the surgery is, there’s always the chance something will go wrong. SculpSure® doesn't involve surgery, making it the best choice if you’re looking to lose weight without the risk.
In the safety of our office and in the care of our friendly staff, you don’t have to worry about being put under anesthesia or being cut open with a knife. You can catch up on that book you’ve been meaning to read.
Don’t let another year go by feeling anything less than your best. It’s your turn to show off your amazing body. When you’re ready to change your life for good with SculpSure®, visit our website to schedule an appointment.
