In a recent post, we issued a PSA that outlined what CoolSculpting can and cannot do. Namely, we pointed out that a fat-freezing treatment is not the same thing as a treatment for jowls. Jowls are not made up of fat. They are skin and superficial tissue that have lost firmness and elasticity so no […]
As far as noninvasive body-contouring treatments go, CoolSculpting has one of the highest ratings around. The developers of this fat-freezing device knew what they were doing. We regularly perform this procedure on patients to sculpt their thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and other areas. You may be wondering, then, why we would warn you not to be […]
While we don’t often revel in saying goodbye to summer, there are some advantages to a break from the bright, hot sun that has filled the San Antonio skies in recent months. One is that we are slightly less vulnerable to the damaging ultraviolet rays that are present wherever we go. Actually, we are always […]
Many of us would like to have a toned tummy or buttocks, but find that making this happen is much more challenging than we imagined. People on social media make it look so easy! Of course, we know that getting a toned, tight core or backside really is a lot of work for most people. […]

Patients can resume normal activities as soon as they leave their appointment, and, of course, CoolSculpting has a proven track record of success. Who could argue that there aren’t some […]

However, the appearance of discolored patches on the nose, cheeks, upper lip, and other areas can be quite distressing. Studies suggest that people (women, especially) with darker skin may be more prone to melasma. This […]

Has our skin lost its vibrancy or firmness? With all the signs of aging to consider, it can be easy to […]
Early this year, the FDA gave its seal of approval to yet another injectable product: Jeuveau. In case you’re counting, the emergence of this new wrinkle-reducer (pronounced Jū-vō) brings us up to FOUR Botox-like products. Why do we need another and why would the FDA approve a new neurotoxin when we already have one that […]
Body shape. It’s something on many people’s minds right about now. Maybe you’re wishing you had implemented that diet a few months sooner or that you’d spent more time at the gym. There are two things that you may need to hear right now. First, your body is beautiful as it is. Second, if your […]
