How to Treat Loose Skin and Fat Accumulation From Under the Chin

When it comes to looking your best, you make sure you follow a rigorous skincare routine.  You regularly wash your face, use the best moisturizer, and apply sunscreen in liberal amounts.  You even dish out plenty of money on your skincare products in the hopes of smoothing away wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.

But what about the loose skin and fat that’s slowly accumulated under your chin over the years?

Don’t beat yourself up about it; after all, as we age, the skin loses its elastic qualities, which can cause loose skin to sag underneath the chin.  This results in the dreaded “jowl”, which could only be corrected by a traditional facelift.

Fortunately, there’s a new way to treat loose skin and fat accumulation from under the chin – Exilis – and it’s now available at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, Georgia. Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics is owned by Dr. Linda Kelley and celebrated as the premier Anti-aging and Aesthetic destination in the greater Atlanta, GA area.

What is Elixis?

Elixis is a highly targeted and innovative treatment that can be used to target fat accumulation in hard-to-reach areas, including underneath the chin.  That’s because Elixis uses a hand-piece and a facial-piece  that can be applied directly to the treatment area.  This means that Elixis is perfect for smaller treatment areas that couldn’t be treated with other body contouring procedures and wraps.

It’s important to note that the Elixis treatment is conducted in two steps.  The first step involves the body hand-piece, which is used to melt away fat from the treatment area.  That step is followed with the facial hand-piece, which is used to tighten the skin that’s just been treated.  This ensures that the treatment area looks contoured and youthful, which is key to achieving a naturally beautiful look – without invasive surgery.

Get Instant Results

While ideal results from Elixis can take a few rounds of treatment, you can achieve instant results in between sessions with small injections of Microtox.  These injections contain a minute amount of Botox, which can be applied to the neck for tightened results.  In fact, many patients see fantastic results in as little as 24 to 36 hours.

How To Get Younger Eyes Without Wrinkles

You want to look younger – but no matter how many creams, serums, and de-puffers you apply around your eyes, those fine lines and wrinkles seem to grow bigger and bigger.  While you wouldn’t want to trade in those smile lines for anything in the world, you can’t help but wonder if there’s a treatment out there that’s capable of smoothing away the lines and wrinkles around your eyes.

Fortunately, there is – and you’ll find it at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, Georgia. Serving clients in the greater Atlanta area, Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics is owned by Dr. Linda Kelley, who is an expert in anti-aging medicine.  Dr. Kelley established Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics to provide clients with more advanced anti-aging options, especially for the eyes…

And one of those options is the Mixto Fractional Laser.

This laser skin resurfacing treatment utilizes fractional CO2 laser resurfacing to stimulate collage-reducing fine lines and wrinkles and tightening the skin. During the procedure, a tiny amount of skin in the treatment area (anywhere from 5% – 20%) is injured by the laser, which prompts the body to go into healing overdrive.  Don’t worry, there are no serious injuries here; in fact, they’re barely visible to the naked eye.

With regards to treating wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, Dr. Kelley often combines the Mixto Fractional Laser treatment with Botox, which helps create instant results that last for a significant period of time.

If you have severe wrinkles and smile lines, Dr. Kelley may even utilize the popular Vampire Facelift treatment to smooth away your lines.  To perform the Vampire Facelift, Dr. Kelley removes platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your blood and injects it back into the treatment area.  The PRP helps stimulate cellular turnover and new skin growth, which can completely transform the look and feel of your skin.

No matter how severe your fine lines and wrinkles might be, Dr. Kelley has the right treatment option for you.   To learn more about her many treatment options, schedule a consultation with Dr. Linda Kelley at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA (serving the Atlanta metro) today. You can reach Dr. Kelley at (770)649-0094 or by filling out the form in the right-hand sidebar.

Reverse Sun Damage with Chemical Peels

Spending too much time in the sun can put you at risk for sunburn. It also makes you susceptible to skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and fine lines. However, you can reverse sun damage with chemical peels. Chemical peels utilize a chemical solution to slough away the upper layer of sun damaged skin, in order to improve skin texture and tone.

There are different types of chemical peels, ranging from superficial to deep peels. The type of peel chosen for your skin problem will depend on the severity of the condition being treated. Milder peels can correct early signs of aging and light acne, while deeper peels are better suited to pigmentation issues, and deeper lines and wrinkles.

Here are some of the chemical peels often used by physicians to reverse sun damage:

• The Perfect Peel is among the most effective chemical peels for skin repair. It boasts glutathione as a component, and this antioxidant gives the Perfect Peel superior power. Not only does it address photodamage, pigmentation, and similar issues, but the glutathione works to protect the skin cells from further damage.

• The Cosmelan Peel is used to treat hyperpigmentation, because it blocks the production of melanin. This makes it very effective in treating melasma. It involves the application of a mask in-office, which is left to take effect for up to 12 hours.  The Cosmelan Peel is suitable for all skin types, and can be used on the face and body.

• The Jessner/TCA Peel utilizes trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol to strip away the outer layer of the skin, to reveal younger looking skin. This peel is recommended for the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and to correct photodamage.

If you would like to reverse sun damage and improve the appearance of your skin, then contact Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA. They offer these chemical peels to rejuvenate your skin and reverse the effects of sun damage. You can contact Dr. Linda Kelley at 770-649-0094 to schedule your consultation, or simply fill out the form in the right sidebar.

What is a Vampire Facelift?

When you think of a vampire, do you think of someone with eternal youth?  Beautifully glowing skin?  The kind of beauty that stops people – and their victims! – in their tracks?

Hollywood has always had a fascination with vampires, as they represent the ability to transcend aging so that they’re young forever.  Now the cosmetic dermatology world is taking notice – and at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA, Dr. Linda Kelley is proud to offer her patients the Vampire Facelift treatment.  Dr. Kelley is among the first dermatologists in the greater Atlanta area to offer this premier treatment, which can help you look years younger with just a single treatment.

And it’s all thanks to your blood.

The Vampire Facelift Process

Perhaps you’ve seen the infamous Keeping Up With The Kardashians episode where Kim underwent a Vampire Facelift.  Perhaps you’ve never heard of the treatment.  Regardless, the Vampire Facelift is one of the hottest new facial treatments in the aesthetics industry today – and for good reason.  The Vampire Facelift utilizes the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in your blood to help reinvigorate and revitalize the look and feel of your facial skin.

It might sound scary and complicated, but the process is actually straightforward.  During the Vampire Facelift process, Dr. Kelley draws a sample of your blood, and then removes the platelets from the blood using a special separating machine.  Once the platelets have been isolated, Dr. Kelley blends them with a fibrin mixture.  After this step, the mixture is ready to be injected into the patient’s desired treatment area, which is usually the face.

The Vampire Facelift is ideal for patients who want to smooth away wrinkles, fine lines, and creases from the facial skin.  Clients can expect some minor swelling during the process; however, the swelling usually goes down in about a day.  Clients will see optimal results a few weeks after the initial treatment.

Results can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, making this a great long-term treatment option for clients (or should we say, vampires!) who are thirsty for eternal youth

Can Micro-needling Help Treat Stretch Marks?

Micro-needling skin therapy has quickly become a force in the cosmetic skincare world. This skin renewal technique is very beneficial in treating wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and even stretch marks. Let’s find out how micro-needling uses the body’s natural healing ability to help treat stretch marks. The needling procedure may stimulate collagen production by creating microinjuries. The channels that are created allow active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and growth factors to be delivered more deeply to the skin.

How Micro-needling with the Rejuvapen can treat stretch marks

Micro-needling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, in which a micro-roller or pen fitted with tiny needles, makes microscopic perforations in the skin.  As the needles stamp the skin they penetrate the dermal layer, and this action encourages the body to repair itself.

Stretch marks or striae are streaks in the skin, which are usually the result of the excess stretching of the skin due to pregnancy, or significant weight changes. These streaks form in the dermis where the micro-roller can penetrate, and stimulate collagen production. This helps with skin renewal, and also induces skin tightening.

The new collagen that forms makes the skin smoother, and also fills in stretch marks, so that they are less noticeable. It typically takes about 6-8 treatments to achieve the required fading of the stretch marks, especially when the marks are old and deep. It is best to use growth factors along with the Rejuvapen procedure.

Active ingredients are delivered to the skin via the micro channels created by the micro roller. The superficial punctures assist with the absorption of the ingredients that can enhance the effects of micro-needling.

Although the procedure is not painful, numbing cream is applied at the start of treatment. Rejuvapen Micro-needling therapy  sessions typically take about 30 minutes with 30 minute of numbing prior to the procedure. Because stretch marks are scars, you must have some patience and plan on multiple sessions typically spaced 1 month apart.

If you have questions about how Rejuvapen micro-needling may help treat stretch marks, then contact Dr. Linda Kelley of Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics, Roswell, GA. Just fill out the form in the right sidebar or call us at (770) 649-0094.

The Beauty of Bioidentical Hormones

You work hard to ensure you feel your best.  You eat well, work out, and generally try to avoid the things that you know are bad for you (we’re looking at you, cigarettes and excessive alcohol use).  But it seems like no matter what you do, something seems to be holding you back.  You’re finding it difficult to get in the mood, or you’re constantly feeling fatigued no matter how much sleep you ended up getting.  

As frustrating as these feelings might be, there are solutions you can use to feel better again – and it could be as simple as bioidentical hormone therapy at Cob Wellness and Aesthetics. Located in the greater Atlanta metro area, Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics is owned and operated by Dr. Linda Kelley, an expert in anti-aging medicines.  In addition to her current menu of anti-aging treatments, Dr. Kelley is pleased to offer her clients an array of benefits that come hand-in-hand with bioidentical hormone therapy.

In essence, bioidentical hormone therapy uses natural hormones that are exactly like those found within the human body – the only difference is, these hormones are derived from plants.  Bioidentical hormones can be administered in a variety of ways, including creams, pills, and even pellet therapy, where the hormones are injected into the body.  Clients who see the best results from bioidentical hormone therapy typically display the following symptoms:

• Fatigue
• Loss of sexual drive
• Headaches
• Lack of concentration
• Loss of muscle
• Thinning hair
• Weight gain
• Sluggish energy levels

Bioidentical hormone therapy can help improve these symptoms, as the hormones can help replace any testosterone or estrogen that is lost due to the aging process.  The end results can include higher energy levels, a more robust sex drive, loss of fat, and mental clarity.  Bioidentical hormone therapy can even produce significant beauty benefits, like thicker hair and clearer skin.

At Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics, Dr. Kelley can recommend, administer, and oversee your bioidentical hormone therapy.  By working closely with Dr. Kelley, you can start enjoying the clarity, focus, and energy that comes from superior bioidentical hormone therapy.  Schedule an appointment with Dr. Linda Kelley today to discover the beauty of bioidentical hormone therapy.

Top Procedures to Tighten and Rejuvenate the Skin

When it comes to looking your best, nothing compares to the look and feel of firm, youthful-looking skin.  But perhaps during your pursuit of skin rejuvenation, you discovered that skin creams and serums weren’t all that they were cracked up to be.  Maybe you were sick of spending hundreds of dollars on skin creams every month, or perhaps you became tired of investing in yet another “miracle” anti-aging product.

No matter where you are in your anti-aging fight, it’s time to get hopeful again – because two new treatments at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA promise to help firm, tone, and rejuvenate your skin.

Based in the greater Atlanta metro area, Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics is owned and operated by Dr. Linda Kelley, an expert in anti-aging medicines.  In addition to her current menu of anti-aging treatments, Dr. Kelley is pleased to offer her clients skin rejuvenation via two innovative technologies: Ultherapy and Exilis.

Let’s explore what these two treatments can do for you.

• Ultherapy:  This is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes ultrasound energy to help tighten and tone the skin.  When the energy permeates the skin, skin cells are re-energized; additionally, collagen production levels increase, which produces natural-looking results.  Ultherapy can also contour the treatment area, which is ideal for patients looking to sculpt trouble spots.  Because the skin tightens during the treatment, this disrupts stubborn fat cells, which are then removed by the body’s natural waste processes.

Ultherapy requires no downtime, but it is the most expensive of the two treatment options.  Results last between 12-18 months.

• Exilis:  This is another non-invasive treatment that is similar to Ultherapy in terms of size and scope.  Exilis uses radiofrequency energy, which creates the kind of heat that tightens and contours the skin.  In addition to skin rejuvenation, Exilis is the preferred body contouring method of the two treatments.  Clients may experience a slight heating sensation during the treatment.

Exilis requires no downtime, and is the cheaper of the two options.  However, to see excellent results, Exilis does require a series of treatments.  Results last between 12-18 months.

No matter what your skin rejuvenation and tightening needs are, you can find the results you’re looking for at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics, serving the greater Atlanta, GA area.  Schedule an appointment with Dr. Linda Kelley today to discover more about the Exilis and Ultherapy treatments today (770) 649-0094.
