BODY CONTOURING
It can be very frustrating, if you watch what you eat and get a normal amount of exercise but still have pockets of fat in parts of your body. It just doesn't seem fair after all your diligence. Liposuction can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas such as the chin and neck area, upper arms, abdomen, buttock, hip and thigh area, knee and calf area, and upper and lower back area.

CELLULITE
Cellulite is a common term used to describe superficial pockets of trapped fat, which cause uneven dimpling or “orange peel” skin. It appears in 90% of post-adolescent women and is rarely seen in men.

SPIDER AND VARICOSE VEINS
Spider veins are small enlarged superficial blood vessels that appear red or blue. They commonly occur on the legs, but frequently occur on the face or elsewhere.   Larger dilated blood vessels called varicose veins may be raised above the skin surface. They may occur along with spider veins.

STRETCH MARKS
Stretch marks present as unsightly red to white areas, which occur commonly on the abdomen, arms, chest, and thighs. The cause of stretch marks is basically unknown but can result from pregnancy, weight gain, trauma and most likely has hormonal influences. In essence, stretch marks represent a dermal scar in which the connective tissue (i.e. collagen and elastin) within the dermis is disrupted.

UNWANTED HAIR
Heredity and hormones determine the amount and distribution of body hair. Women and men of Mediterranean descent tend to have more hair than Nordic or Asian women. Even within an ethnic group, women in some families may tend to have more hair than average.

UNWANTED TATTOO
Decorative tattooing in humans is an ancient art form the origins of which can be traced as far back as the stone and bronze ages. A study conducted in 1991 found that between 9-11% of adult men in the United States have tattoos however greater than 50% regret having them and would seek removal if possible. Unfortunately, at the present time, tattooing remains popular with role models such as athletes and entertainer's, serving as strong impetus for teenagers and young adults seeking tattoos.
