It’s summer! Get ready to show off your newly contoured body at all the BBQs and beach trips with your family and friends! You may be feeling a little confused about what you can or can’t eat while all of your friends are chomping on chips and enjoying an ice-cold soda or other beverage. That’s where we come in. SoCal Cool body has found a few recipes that are perfect for summer fun, are healthy, and will complement your body-sculpting results!

Hydrating Cucumber Lemonade

You can’t go wrong with lemonade; it’s a classic! I’m sure when you were little, you (or someone you knew!) had a lemonade stand to offer this refreshing drink on a hot summer day. Now, let’s take it up a notch and add cucumber! Lemon is a detoxifying agent that eliminates toxins in your body so that it can run smoothly and keep you healthy. Cucumber refreshes your body and keeps you extra hydrated. This mix of healthy ingredients is the perfect summer hydrating drink to sip on all day! See the full recipe here!

Healthy Spicy Peach Glaze Chicken Dinner

The summer sun is cooling down, and you’re settling in for dinner; what better way to continue a healthy day with a healthy and delicious meal. Lean meat, like chicken breasts, is a great way to fill your stomach without stuffing yourself. Chicken is a good source of vitamin B, vitamin D, calcium, iron, zinc, and trace amounts of vitamin A and vitamin C. Add in a delectable peach glaze for a spicy summertime treat and an easy vegetable as a side, and you’ve got yourself a light, refreshing meal. See the full recipe here!

Just because you’ve had your body-sculpting procedure doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy food. Finding the right balance between healthy and delicious is key to enjoying your body-contouring results and your meal. Don’t let surgery stop you! Celebrate food and life with friends and family!

So, you’ve undergone your CoolSculpting® Elite treatment; now what?! As the frozen, dead fat cells are naturally working their way out of your body, and your waist, arms, legs, or other treatment areas are becoming more trim, it’s time to think about what happens next. Let’s explore the important post-treatment lifestyle changes that can help to prolong your CoolSculpting® Elite results to keep you looking and feeling great with your new body contour!

Hydrate!

Hydration is important in all aspects of life, but it is especially important when you’re trying to be healthier and protect your body after a treatment. Hydrating can help flush out toxins in your body that may be hanging around after your CoolSculpting® Elite treatment. Water, and other hydrating liquids, refreshes your body from the inside out. Your skin will appear brighter and more radiant, your skin will look and feel smoother, and you will just feel healthier and happier overall!

Eat Healthier!

Just because the fat in the treatment area is gone for good doesn’t mean that the other surrounding fat is also gone. While CoolSculpting® Elite is used to remove stubborn pockets of fat, it is not a weight-loss procedure. Maintaining a healthy diet is crucial after your CoolSculpting® Elite treatment so that you can enjoy your results longer. CoolSculpting® Elite does have long-lasting results, but you must also do your part in keeping yourself healthy and eating right. Some of the best foods to eat are:

• ​​Lean proteins
• Healthy fats
• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Nuts
• Whole grains

Exercise!

CoolSculpting® Elite has given you the body of your dreams; now, let’s keep it that way! Committing to exercise in any capacity is a win in itself, but if you exercise regularly, even just brisk walking daily, then you can maintain your results. Depending on the area that was treated, any type of arm, abdomen, booty, or leg exercise will complement your new body contour. Schedule it in your day; 20 or 30 minutes is all it takes!

Remember that hydrating, eating right, and exercising are three of the most important aspects of sustaining a successful body after your CoolSculpting® Elite treatment. Do it right, and enjoy those results!

Those prime summer months are almost here, and with them comes the sand, the surf, and the pool parties and barbeques. While all of this is exciting to look forward to, so many people feel nervous when they think about socializing with friends, family, and new acquaintances. One of the main reasons that men and women may be worrying about the coming summer with all of its activities is that they are worried about facing others with an appearance that they may not be proud of having.

The reality is that age and lifestyle choices can cause the skin on our face (especially in our cheeks and under our eyes) to lose its youthful appearance. Additionally, skin blemishes like wrinkles and fine lines can form on our skin. Volume loss and skin blemishes on the face are some of the most frustrating and embarrassing cosmetic issues that people deal with. But the good news is that dermal fillers, like JUVÉDERM®, can help correct these problems so that you can feel proud of your new and rejuvenated facial appearance. But with summer almost here, the clock is ticking for you to achieve the appearance you desire.

What Is JUVÉDERM®, and What Does It Do?

JUVÉDERM® is an injectable cosmetic treatment that is made up of hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is found naturally in our bodies. When JUVÉDERM® is injected into the problem areas of our facial skin, the HA works to retain moisture, which fills in areas of volume loss, including wrinkles and lines. The best part of this dermal filler is that your body is naturally correcting the issues; the injectable treatment is simply working as a jumpstart to your body. 

What Are Some Things I Need to Know About JUVÉDERM®?

JUVÉDERM® is a safe and effective treatment for facial skin issues and can be used to correct various areas of your face, including around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds), on the cheeks, in the lips, and around the eyes (crow’s feet). While the results of dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® are not permanent (wearing off and needing maintenance treatment after 18 months, or so), most people only require one treatment session to attain their desired results. This begs the question even more: Why wait to get your treatment?!

Why Do I Need to Think About Getting JUVÉDERM Now?

The reality is that volume loss and skin blemishes on the face will not go away naturally. So, if you are looking to get rid of these issues, you need to act instead of putting it off, and acting means looking into having dermal filler treatments, such as JUVÉDERM®. Another reason you might want to consider getting your JUVÉDERM® treatment now is that you will want to have your facial appearance exactly the way you want it by those summer months when you will be showing your face off to more (and different) people. While JUVÉDERM® does not have a lengthy downtime or recovery period, it can take a couple weeks for your results to settle and become final. During this short recovery time, you will want to refrain from being out in the sun and keep from touching your face (or having others touch your face). So, if you are looking forward to enjoying those hot months in the very best of ways (including looking the way you want), then it is important to act now by scheduling your JUVÉDERM® consultation today!

Do you ever find yourself searching for the perfect doctor, and you think you’ve found them, but they don’t have a before and after photo gallery on its website? It can be frustrating because you won’t be able to see the results of their patients to see if their style is something you’d like for yourself. Look no further! SoCal Cool Body offers a photo gallery with before and after pictures of real-life patients who have undergone CoolSculpting®, BOTOX® Cosmetic, and JUVÉDERM® treatments at our office.

Why Is a Photo Gallery Important?

By looking at the results of other patients from their treatments, you are able to better understand what that specific treatment can give you. Additionally, making sure that the practice has a photo galler on their website is a way to judge the quality of that practice. A photo gallery is a way for surgeons to proudly showcase their work and the results that can be achieved. That is why SoCal Cool Body is happy to share plenty of examples of previous treatments online and in person at your consultation.

CoolSculpting®

At SoCal Cool Body, we offer CoolSculpting® to eliminate fat deposits in hard-to-reach areas of the body. CoolSculpting® is the one and only FDA-cleared treatment to eliminate stubborn fat in nine different areas of the body, including under the chin and jawline areas, thighs, abdomen, flanks, bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks, and the upper arms. Once the fat is frozen, it is naturally eliminated from the body over time, resulting in a beautifully sculpted and contoured body shape.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. The most common areas include the crow’s feet, between the brows, and on the forehead. BOTOX® Cosmetic results last about three months before touch-up treatments are needed. If you like the results you are getting, then a maintenance plan should be set up so that you can continue experiencing the smooth results of this injectable treatment.

JUVÉDERM®

Another injectable treatment offered by SoCal Cool Body is JUVÉDERM®. JUVÉDERM® is a dermal filler, which means that it replaces lost volume in the skin that may be the result of age or lifestyle. The active ingredient in this dermal filler is hyaluronic acid, which helps to stimulate the production of collagen and hydrate the skin, producing a more rejuvenated appearance to your face.

Before you make any set plans for your cosmetic treatment, make sure to do the necessary homework. That means checking out our online photo gallery and scheduling your consultation to make sure that your treatment choice is right for you!

Do you long for a smooth, wrinkle-free facial appearance? The creams and other treatments used in the past just aren’t cutting it? Well, that’s why you should choose BOTOX® Cosmetic. BOTOX® Cosmetic is synonymous with injectable treatments because it actually works and provides noticeable results. This injectable treatment is made up of botulinum toxin A that immobilizes the muscles to improve the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and other lines in the upper portion of the face, revealing a fresh, younger-looking facial aesthetic.

The First of Its Kind

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the first and only product of its kind to be FDA approved for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet in men and women over the age of 18. Since 2002, BOTOX® Cosmetic has sold more than 100 million vials, it is manufactured to the strict quality standards in 98 countries, and there are over 4,700 peer-reviewed articles about this top injectable treatment.

It Is Effective

One of the reasons BOTOX® Cosmetic is the injectable of choice is because it is effective. When you come in for a consultation, you will be evaluated and examined by Dr. Moore and given the chance to explain your concerns and goals. At that point, you and Dr. Moore will be able to determine the best placement for your treatments. Once the injectable is inserted into the treatment area, the solution will begin its magic. BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily immobilizes the muscles in the treated area, resulting in a smoother complexion. 

BOTOX Treatment Areas

The good thing about BOTOX® Cosmetic is that it can treat many areas on the face to provide both men and women with a smooth appearance. BOTOX® Cosmetic can treat:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines

No Downtime Needed

This minimally invasive treatment does not require any downtime after your injection. However, it is recommended that exercise is avoided for 24 hours so that the solution does not spread to other parts of the body. Most patients receive this treatment during their lunch break, before school pick up, or whenever there is free time because it does not take long to perform. Results last up to 3-4 months, so patients who want to maintain their relaxed, flawless look should schedule repeat maintenance treatments to achieve similar results.

Struggling with stubborn fat that just won’t budge is one of the worst feelings. You try so hard—exercising, eating right, hydrating—but nothing seems to work. CoolSculpting® Elite can help give you that little nudge you may be needing. At SoCal Cool Body, we offer this body-sculpting treatment to give you that little push you need so that you can reach your body goals and feel extra comfortable and confident.

What Is CoolSculpting® Elite?

CoolSculpting® Elite is a fat-freezing technology that targets just the treated area and kills off the fat cells beneath the skin. The dead cells then metabolize over time and are naturally eliminated from the body, resulting in a new, slimmer body contour. CoolSculpting® Elite is not a weight-loss treatment. It is designed to help you finish what you’ve already started, getting rid of those stubborn areas of fat that do not go away with diet and/or exercise.

FDA Approved CoolSculpting® Elite Areas

CoolSculpting® Elite can be used on two different parts of the body at the same time. It also has seven applicators to choose from for complete customization. CoolSculpting® Elite is FDA approved to treat nine areas for ultimate body sculpting, including:

• Flanks (love handles or muffin top)
• Abdomen
• Inner and outer thighs
• Excess fat underneath the chin
• Bra fat
• Back fat
• Fat underneath the buttocks (banana roll)
• Upper arms
• Below the jawline

 How Does It Differ From CoolSculpting®?

CoolSculpting® has been a staple in cosmetic treatments since 2010, and CoolSculpting® Elite is really just the next step up in the technology and correction offered to you. The CoolSculping® Elite handpiece has been redesigned as a C-shape instead of the regular U-shape to give you more comfort during your treatment. Additionally, with CoolSculpting® Elite, the cooling panels have been increased in size so that more fat can be frozen in one application, and there are now two applicators so that two areas of your body can be treated at the same time.  At SoCal Cool Body, we have 2 Coolsculpting Elite machines.  Now, we can treat more areas on your body in a shorter period of time.
