How to Safely and Effectively Lose Weight

All of that time spent ignoring our wellbeing is adding up in the form of extra poundage on that bathroom scale.

If you’re ready for the ultimate solution in safe and effective weight-loss, then it’s time to discover a new way to burn fat and lose inches at Cobb Wellness & Aesthetics in Roswell, GA.

The Lighten Up Program at Cobb Wellness & Aesthetics

For fast and effective weight loss, it’s time to introduce yourself to the Lighten Up Weight Management Program.  Monitored by founder Dr. Linda Kelley and her Staff, the HCG Diet is a powerful way to quickly lose weight without resorting to unsafe or unhealthy methods.

This is a three-month plan, which is designed to maximize your weight loss, change lifestyle habits and help you get healthy. During this time, most clients can expect to see weight-loss results more than  25 pounds; what’s more, this weight-loss is from fat, not water or muscle.  This medically monitored diet uses the HCG compound for one to two months. HcG is a natural hormone that encourages fat loss while protecting lean muscle.  You will also eat a reasonable, healthy diet that is not an extreme, very low calorie diet. Typically, you will eat 1000-1200 calories a day,

The three-month Lighten Up Program at Cobb Wellness & Aesthetics (serving the greater Atlanta, GA area) follows these key stages:

• A client is introduced to a reasonable calorie-controlled diet

• You will meet with Kim, our weight loss expert who will coach you and hold you accountable.

• Kim administers weekly Lipovite injections to encourage constant fat burning

• We teach you how to self-administer HCG injections to increase your body’s fat burning processes

• You’ll receive supplements to support the fat burning process.

• During month two, you will do a 2 week Detox.

• If needed, you may repeat another round of hcG.

With the support and monitoring from Cobb Wellness & Aesthetics, you can ensure that you lose weight the safe and healthy way – and keep it off for good!

Discover the Liquid Facelift at Cobb Wellness & Aesthetics

If the idea of getting a facelift alarms you, you’re not alone.

After all, a facelift is an invasive surgery that requires a lot of recovery time – not to mention that it can leave a lot of visible scars around your hairline and behind your ears.  Add to the fact that it can be incredibly expensive, and it’s no wonder you’re not interested in undergoing this surgical procedure.

But if the idea of a more contoured and youthful-looking face intrigues you, then it’s time to introduce yourself to the Liquid Facelift at Cobb Wellness & Aesthetics in Roswell, GA.

What is the Liquid Facelift?

Developed and administered by founder Dr. Linda Kelley, the Liquid Facelift is designed to provide similar results to a traditional facelift – without the need for surgery.

The Liquid Facelift utilizes a combination of treatments that simultaneously tighten skin, replace lost volume, and eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Let’s take a quick look at the procedures involved with the Liquid Facelift:

• Exilis Elite Skin Tightening: One of the biggest benefits of a facelift is the ability to get tighter skin (this is done by pulling back the skin and muscle tissue). During a Liquid Facelift, Dr. Kelley will use Elixis Elite, an innovative laser treatment to stimulate collagen and elastin production within your facial skin.  With multiple treatments, your skin will tighten and tone, which can make your face look more contoured and youthful.

• Laser Skin Rejuvenation: Another major advantage to the Liquid Facelift is that it’s designed to target sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and other complexion flaws. Kelley uses the Mixto Fractional CO2 Laser to tighten and tone skin.  This laser skin rejuvenation treatment can also be used to eliminate fine lines, reduce acne scars, and even fade the appearance of facial scars.

• Fillers: These  can be used to fill deeper folds and replace volume that has been lost in the cheeks, temples and other parts of the face.  Common fillers include Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane and Bellafill. During your Consultation, we will determine the best fillers for you.

• Botox: Forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet might be adding years onto your appearance. That’s why the Liquid Facelift includes Botox injections, which help relax and fade the appearance of stubborn wrinkles, creases, and fine lines.

Best of all, the Liquid Facelift is customizable, so you can get the exact treatment you need to look your absolute best.

How to Reduce Arm Fat without Surgery

Flabby upper arms can be a major source of low self-esteem in many men and women – and unfortunately, it’s also one of the most difficult parts of the body to target. While healthy eating and exercise can help reduce the appearance of larger arms, results are often difficult to see unless you’ve lost a considerable amount of weight.

Additionally, larger arms can be genetic, meaning many people might be facing an uphill battle to slim down the appearance of their arms.

If this sounds familiar to you, then you’re in luck: there’s a way to reduce arm fat and tighten your upper arms – without the expense, pain, or hassle of surgery – at Cobb Wellness & Aesthetics in Roswell, GA.

How to Achieve Slim, Contoured Arms

Founded by anti-aging expert Dr. Linda Kelley, Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics is Atlanta’s premier medical spa, specializing in innovative approaches to common cosmetic issues. From laser treatments and medical weight loss to anti-aging treatments, Dr. Cobb and her staff members pride themselves on helping clients live their best lives beautifully.

The staff is especially pleased to announce the arrival of Exilis, a new fat reduction treatment that promises to deliver contouring results to the upper arms. Best of all, Exilis doesn’t require the expense or hassle of surgery. The procedure is done via a small handpiece, which is rubbed over the upper arms over a treatment session of thirty minutes.

The handpiece is designed to deliver radiofrequency energy to the upper arms. This energy penetrates through the deepest skin levels and gently heats the treatment area causing the destruction of fat cells, which are removed from the body via natural waste processes.  The heat results in an immediate skin tightening effect, creating a contoured appearance that takes inches from your upper arms.

To see your ideal results, you should expect to schedule three to five treatments over a two-month period. The end result is a tighter, more contoured appearance – without any surgery scars or downtime!

How to Reduce Stomach Fat without Surgery

Summer is finally in full swing – and in just another month, autumn will be on our doorsteps. But even though the season of sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes is almost here, you may still be focused on how to lose that stubborn stomach fat so you can show off your bikini body.

If you’ve been eating well and exercising as often as possible – and still struggling with your stomach fat – you may be considering surgical solutions. However, if the thought of an invasive procedure leaves you feeling cold, there’s another solution to your problem.

And you can find it at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA.

A Non-Invasive Approach to Reducing Stomach Fat

Founded by anti-aging expert Dr. Linda Kelley, Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics is Atlanta’s premier medical spa, specializing in progressive medicine and precise aesthetics. The staff is especially pleased to announce the arrival of Exilis, a new fat reduction treatment that promises to deliver contouring results while tightening skin – all without the hassle or recovery time of invasive surgery.

Exilis is a powerful yet small device that uses the power of radiofrequency heat to encourage fat reduction within the stomach region.  During the course of treatment, the heat energy penetrates the skin and gently heats the fat cells.  The heat eventually destroys the fat cells, which is later removed from the body by waste processes. As a result, the treatment area becomes slimmer and more contoured, resulting in significant inch loss.

The heat from Exilis can also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.  This reaction is immediate and visible, as the skin contracts and tightens from the invigorating heat energy.  This can help highlight the results of your fat reduction procedure.

There’s no downtime and no recovery associated with Exilis. Clients can expect to see ideal results after two to three treatments, which are usually scheduled within a two-month time period.

Botox boosts elastin production

Botox is a purified protein that has been used for years to reduce wrinkles associated with facial expression. One of the most common areas Botox is injected is between the brows to soften frown lines. A new study published in the journal JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery finds that botox may improve the pliability and elasticity of skin for up to 4 months.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 6.5 million Americans underwent botox in 2012. The procedure involves injecting the drug in certain areas of the face in order to temporarily relax the muscles that cause wrinkles.

For their study, Dr. James P. Bonaparte, of the University of Ottawa, and Dr. David Ellis, of the University of Toronto – both in Canada – set out to investigate the effects of botox on the skin.

Specifically, the researchers wanted to find out how botox affects two features of the skin that weaken as we get older: pliability (stretchiness) and elasticity (the ability to recoil).

“As one ages, these biomechanical properties change,” note the authors. “Of these age-related changes, the loss of skin elasticity appears to be the most prominent.”

Dr. Bonaparte and Dr. Ellis enrolled 48 women to the study with an average age of 55 who underwent botox injections to reduce the appearance of mild wrinkles of the forehead and around the eyes.

Among the 43 women who completed the study, the team found that the botox injections increased both the pliability and elasticity of their skin for up to 4 months – a duration similar to that of the muscle-relaxing effects of botox. After this time, the skin properties returned to baseline levels.

We have noticed an improvement in skin quality in our Botox patients. We offer advanced Botox techniques including the Nefertiti lift which helps the jawline to appear more defined. Our doctor also performs a procedure called Microtox which helps the skin to appear more lifted and tightened around the eyes and the neck. Botox can also be use to soften wrinkles around the mouth and help turn up the corners of the mouth.

Botox: Does It Hurt?

Let’s face it: You love the idea of smoothing away your stubborn wrinkles and fine lines with a Botox treatment.  You’d love to wake up with the kind of youthful complexion that will make your friends and family members beg you for the secrets to your younger-looking skin.  You’d be ecstatic to peel away the years from your face, thanks to Botox…If only you weren’t so afraid of needles.

Painless Botox Treatments at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics

Fearing Botox injections – or at least approaching the treatment with suspicion – is completely natural. At Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA (serving the greater Atlanta area), many clients ask the same question as soon as they have their anti-aging consultation with founder Dr. Linda Kelley:

“Does Botox hurt?”

The answer is very reassuring.  Despite the fact that Botox injections are made via a needle, the procedure itself is virtually painless.  This pain-free component is owed to the fact that Dr. Kelley uses a numbing agent on the treatment area to help the client feel more comfortable during the procedure.  The injection needle is also very small, which helps reduce the likelihood that you’ll experience discomfort.

During your consultation with Dr. Kelley, she’ll examine your face to see what could benefit the most from Botox injections.  In addition to treating wrinkles and fine lines, Botox injections can:

• Soften smile lines
• Provide brow lifts
• Turn up the corners of the mouth
• Define the jawline
• Tighten skin on the neck and around the eyes
• Soften wrinkles around the mouth
• Improve the appearance of a pebbly chin

Botox treatments can be customized according to your desired results.  No matter what areas you’d like to treat, you can find precisely what you’re looking for at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA.

The Differences between Juvederm vs. Juvederm Voluma

In recent years, Botox has had serious challenges to its dominance as one of the most popular anti-aging injections.  Juvederm XC and Juvederm Voluma are two of the fastest-growing dermal injections, with many clients preferring this hyaluronic acid-based filler to classic Botox injections.

While Botox paralyzes facial muscles to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Juvederm injections use hyaluronic acid gel to instantly plump and smooth away wrinkles and fine lines.  What’s more, Juvederm injections last longer than Botox (12 to 18 months vs. six months).

You might know the differences between Juvederm and Botox – but what are the differences between Juvederm and Juvederm Voluma?

Let’s answer that question by taking a closer look at each anti-aging treatment:

• Juvederm XC: This dermal filler is used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly those around the lips.  Juvederm uses a thinner hyaluronic gel, which is injected into the treatment site.  The gel immediately plumps up the treatment area, which causes wrinkles and fine lines to fade away.

What’s more, the hyaluronic acid – which is a natural compound found within the human body – encourages collagen and elastin production, which produces youthful-looking skin over the long-term.  The results from Juvederm can last for up to two years.

• Juvederm Voluma: Naturally youthful faces have greater cheek volume than older faces; this is because the face’s fat hasn’t yet broken down as a result of the aging process.  Juvederm Voluma helps clients achieve that natural cheek volume via a thicker hyaluronic acid gel.  This gel instantly plumps up the cheek, providing much-needed volume and contouring.  Juvederm Voluma is the only cheek volume treatment approved by the FDA.

While both Juvederm injections achieve different results, they’re actually designed to perfectly complement one another.  Use both treatments to achieve a natural-looking face that will have your friends and family members begging to learn your secrets.

The Best Tips for Getting In Beach Body Shape

Summer is ust around the corner – and that means more time spent at the beach! If you mastered your New Year’s Resolution of losing weight, you’re probably ready to show off all of your hard work.

But if you spent much of this cold winter huddled away inside and eating your favorite comfort foods, the thought of revealing your beach body might leave you feeling a little panicked.  Fortunately, there’s still time to get ready for that bikini.  Here are the best tips for getting in beach body shape, courtesy of Dr. Linda Kelley of Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA:

1. Start cleaning up your diet. While you don’t have to sacrifice every food you love, start incorporating more veggies into your daily meals.  Aim for four servings of veggies per day, with a lean protein at most meals. Limit your treats to one day per week, where you can have a “cheat” day.

2. Find a workout or fitness class that genuinely challenges you. Jogging on the treadmill can burn calories, but if you need to get that beach body, you need to shock your body and challenge your muscles.  Sign up for a spinning class, try Zumba with a friend, or give an at-home program like Intensity or P90X a try.

3. Drink at least 64 ounces of water per day. This will flush away water weight, which can help you look less bloated and much leaner when you’re on the beach.

Of course, there’s a way you can get the beach body you’ve always wanted faster – and you’ll find it at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics.

Dr. Kelley offers a highly effective HCG diet, which is medically supervised and customized to your exact specifications.  HCG is a powerful hormone that helps torch fat while kick-starting your metabolism; clients who have been on the HCG diet have lost as much as a pound a day.

Once you start your weight-loss journey, Dr. Kelley can use Exilis treatments to tighten skin and contour any trouble spots.  Exilis uses powerful radiofrequency heat to destroy fat cells as well as promote collagen and elastin production.  The end result is tighter, younger-looking skin that shows off all of your hard work.

How to Get Rid of Love Handles and Fat

Spring is officially here – and that means summer is soon to follow.  But if you’re not ready for a season of tank tops, shorts, and dresses, then it might be time for a little push in the right direction.

If one of your trouble spots happens to be your love handles – the nice-sounding term for the excess fat that hangs over your hips – then it’s time to contour the fat so you look slimmer and toner in your jeans.  While diet and exercise might not always target love handles, the innovative Exilis body treatment at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA (also serving the greater Atlanta metro area).

Owned and operated by Dr. Linda Kelley, Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics is pleased to offer Exilis treatments to spot treat love handles and excessive fat around the hips and waist.  Exilis is an effective treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to help remove fat in common trouble areas, including love handles, arms, thighs, stomach, and buttocks.

The way Exilis works is surprisingly simple; Dr. Kelley uses the handheld device to deliver radiofrequency energy to the love handles, which heats up fat cells.  As these fat cells become hotter, they eventually become destroyed (this happens without damaging the healthy tissue surrounding the fat cells).  Over time, these destroyed fat cells are removed from the body via waste removal processes.

As an added bonus, the same heating sensation promotes collagen and elastin production, which leads to tighter and firmer-looking skin.  This benefit is why Exilis is often used as an anti-aging treatment, in addition to body contouring.

Interested in undergoing an Exilis treatment?  Many clients often report seeing results after a single session, but for ideal results, you’ll need to undergo four to six treatments.  Some clients even report seeing a reduction of two to four inches from their waistlines.

One of the biggest advantages of undergoing this treatment is that there’s no recovery time; you can return to your normal activities after your treatment.

For more information about the Exilis treatment and how it can help reduce your love handles, call (770) 649-0094 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kelley at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA.  Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics also serves the greater metro Atlanta area.
