Body Procedures And Sculpting in Grand Prairie, TX

Body Sculpting

Can body sculpting help me shed unwanted pockets of fat?

Yes. Body sculpting uses targeted sound waves or light energy (lasers) to heat up and destroy fat cells. Heating unwanted fat cells to a specific temperature destroys them and lets your body process them with other types of waste. It’s a safe, effective, and nonsurgical way to achieve your desired physique.

What areas can be targeted with body sculpting?

Peculiar Wellness Center uses body sculpting to target unwanted fat in several parts of the body, including the:

• Abdomen
• Arms
• Back
• Love handles
• Thighs

Body contouring can eliminate unwanted belly fat that doesn’t improve with diet and exercise.

How do I prepare for body sculpting?

Your Peculiar Wellness Center provider reviews your medical records and asks about your lifestyle and treatment goals. Then, they complete a physical exam, take pictures, and use a marker to highlight the specific treatment areas.

Your provider might ask you to stop taking certain drugs, like blood thinners, before your body sculpting treatment. That’s because these medications increase your risk of bruising and bleeding.

What does body sculpting treatment involve?

At Peculiar Wellness Center, body sculpting treatment averages 30 minutes.

When you arrive, you change into a gown, and your provider uses a marker to highlight the areas of fat being treated. Next, they ask you to sit or lie down.

Your provider then moves a handheld tool that looks like a wand over specific pockets of fat. The wand emits targeted light or high-frequency sound waves that pierce your skin and heat the fat beneath.

After treatment, your provider massages the areas to reduce inflammation and muscle pain and encourage healing. Then, they provide care instructions and schedule your next appointment.

What is recovery like after body sculpting?

Nonsurgical body sculpting doesn’t require any recovery period or downtime. After treatment, you can return to work and other activities immediately. You might have mild bruising or swelling at each treatment site, but discomfort should improve within 48 hours.

Does body sculpting take more than one treatment?

Yes. Body sculpting is a cumulative treatment, so it takes several sessions to achieve your desired results. Peculiar Wellness Center typically recommends four separate body sculpting sessions several weeks apart.

Can neurotoxin and dermal fillers help my skin look younger?

Yes. Neurotoxin and fillers are cosmetic injectables that reduce the effects of the natural aging process. Though similar, they work differently:

Neurotoxin (Botox®, Xeomin and Dysport)

These are neuromodulators made from a safe version of botulinum toxin. When they enter your body, it blocks nerve signals from reaching specific facial muscles, making your skin look smoother and younger.

Dermal Fillers

As you age, your body produces less collagen and elastin, which keep your skin smooth and supple. Fillers plump up your lips and cheeks and make sagging skin less noticeable.

What types of issues can neurotoxins and fillers treat?

Peculiar Wellness Center uses neurotoxins and fillers to:

• Add volume to sagging skin
• Make facial features more symmetrical
• Plump up lips and cheeks
• Smooth wrinkles and creases
• Relieve migraine headaches
• Treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
• Prevent muscle spasms

You might benefit from neurotoxin injections if you have urinary incontinence due to an overactive bladder.

How do I prepare for neurotoxin and fillers?

You need to be 21 or older to receive neurotoxin or fillers. Tell your Peculiar Wellness Center provider if you’ve received neurotoxin or fillers during the last four months. Let them know if you take prescription medications, like blood thinners. These drugs can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising, so your provider might ask you to stop taking them before the injections.

What does getting neurotoxin and fillers involve?

Getting neurotoxin or filler injections averages 30-60 minutes.

Your provider examines your face and asks about your treatment goals. Then, they use a pen or marker to highlight where your injections will be administered. They also take photos of your face so you can compare your results.

Next, your Peculiar Wellness provider applies a topical anesthetic to your skin. Then, they administer a series of Botox or filler injections into specific areas of your face.

Afterward, your provider washes your face and gives you an ice pack to prevent swelling. They also provide recovery instructions and explain how to reduce the risk of potential side effects.

What can I expect after neurotoxin and fillers?

After neurotoxin or filler injections, you might have mild bruising, redness, and swelling. Avoid rubbing the treated areas for at least 24 hours. Most people return to their normal routine the next day.

Remember that individual results can vary, and it’s important to consult thoroughly with your aesthetic professional to discuss your goals, expectations, and potential risks associated with the procedure.

PDO Thread Lift

Areas: facelift, smile lines, nose lift, tear trough, neckline, jawline, abdomen, arm, thigh, buttocks, knee, cheek, lip, smokers lines, breast.

A PDO (polydioxanone) thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that aims to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face, neck, and body using biodegradable threads made of synthetic absorbable material. Here are some key points highlighting the importance of PDO thread lifts:

1. 1. Non-Surgical Alternative: PDO thread lifts offer an alternative to traditional surgical facelifts and body contouring procedures. They provide noticeable results without requiring extensive incisions, general anesthesia, or long recovery periods.
   2. Natural-Looking Results: PDO threads are strategically inserted beneath the skin to lift and tighten loose or sagging tissues. The threads also stimulate collagen production, which helps improve skin texture and suppleness, leading to a more youthful appearance.
   3. Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical procedures that require significant downtime, PDO thread lifts usually involve minimal recovery time. Some redness, swelling, or bruising might occur, but it tends to be less pronounced and shorter in duration compared to traditional surgery.
   4. Customizable Treatment: PDO thread lifts can be tailored to address specific areas of concern, such as sagging jowls, nasolabial folds, eyebrows, and neck wrinkles. This customization allows for precise targeting of areas that need improvement.
   5. Gradual Improvement: The effects of a PDO thread lift become more noticeable over time as collagen production increases. The gradual nature of the improvement often leads to natural-looking results.
   6. Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves the insertion of thin threads through tiny incisions, which minimizes the risk of scarring. The body absorbs the threads over time, leaving no trace of the procedure.
   7. Shorter Procedure Time: PDO thread lifts are relatively quick procedures, often taking less than an hour to complete. This makes them convenient for individuals with busy schedules.
   8. Temporary and Reversible: While the results are not as long-lasting as those from surgical procedures, PDO thread lifts are temporary and allow individuals to reassess their options over time. The threads can also be removed or adjusted if needed.
   9. Versatility: PDO threads can be used on various body parts, including the face, neck, arms, and abdomen. This versatility makes them suitable for addressing a range of cosmetic concerns.

• Suitable for a Range of Ages: PDO thread lifts can benefit individuals in their 30s who want to address early signs of aging and older individuals looking to improve sagging and wrinkles.
