There are many ways to decrease the American waistline that keeps getting wider.

We do Exilis at Image Dermatology which is one method used to decrease the waistline.

Exilis is a non invasive fat melting tool that blasts fat cells and tightens skin on the face and body.

Just after the first procedure Dr. Downie utilizes Futura Pro which emits different amplitudes, waveforms and frequencies to shrink fat cells and stimulate muscle tone. Futura Pro is an electric muscle stimulation pad that tighten tummies.

Patients rave about the results of Futura Pro. They report looking and feeling better.

Kybella is liposuction in a needle.

Call Dr. Downie at her Montclair, New Jersey office at (973) 509-6900 today to learn more about this FDA-cleared, fat melting and tissue tightening treatment.

Kybella is Liposuction in a needle and simply fantastic.

It is an injectable fat melting drug which was FDA approved several years ago, which I did clinical trials for. It is used on label under the chin to melt fat and takes about 4-8 treatment sessions to see results.

I do call it Liposuction in a needle because it is fabulous and there's no down time and with actual liposuction, you get fabulous consistent results.

In our clinical practice off label we use kybella on,

• Bra line
• Stomach
• Inner thighs
• The back

So these are some of the larger areas that we use Kybella in our clinical practice, which also works very well. Each time you are injected with Kybella, you can get swelling, bruising and some tenderness.

Kybella basically beats up and fights the fat cells, blowing them up, treating them and starting the process of getting rid of them. People may swell for about two weeks after each Kybella treatment.

Kybella treatment can be done during all four seasons.

When the treatment is done during the summer, patients are told that they can ice up and walk out with a T-shirt on. During the winter they can hide it with a turtleneck. Stubborn fat pockets would not go without Kybella treatment.

Kybella can be used on jaws, which is really a popular area. It can swell up and bruise a little bit. But patients seem so happy and content with what they look like after the treatment.

I do have patients come into my office who want more than one area treated at a time. Kybella comes via the vial, so we decide how much we are doing and go from there. Ice is given to each patient on their way out of the practice and typically one month follow ups are scheduled with each patient.

It takes a minimum of 4-8 treatment sessions depending on the size of the area being treated. This has been personally used by myself on my inner thighs and now I look better in jeans, clothes and feel more confident, which I failed to accomplish even after running 25 miles per week. Now with kybella I'm looking and feeling better.

This is an age defined world and people want to look good. Hence, among numerous treatment methods, we recommend Kybella, Fillers, Botox and Non Invasive Fat Melting therapy for an appealing look.

Do you want to explore your candidacy for Kybella? Call Image Dermatology at (973) 509-6900 to schedule your consultation with Dr. Downie.

Can fillers be overdone?

I do fillers on myself, my staff, my patients and I don't overdo. I have a gentle hand and a good eye for what people need, I always say less is more. There are many times when people want to do more I tell them that it looks unnatural and I dissuade them. Which type of filler is used the most?

I use Voluma the most which is a Juvéderm product formulated with hyaluronic acid which is completely reversible.

Can I have an allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body and you cannot be allergic to it. There is that rare person that becomes allergic to it after a while, but it is extremely rare.

What is Sclerotherapy?

It is a fabulous procedure that involves injecting the leg veins with a solution that helps to blanch out, bruise the leg veins and then alternatively fade and go away. " "What are the causes of excessive veins and is sclerotherapy safe?

The causes are,

• After pregnancy
• After gaining weight
• After crossing your legs for years
• After aging process

By getting rid of your excessive veins, you don't mess up with your circulation at all.

How long does it take for Sclerotherapy treatment to work?

The sclerosing formula is injected directly into the problematic vein. Because the formula contains lidocaine, sclerotherapy procedure is especially comfortable. Sclerotherapy treatment requires multiple treatment sessions and a minimum of 3 and some people are above 8 treatment sessions.

We use a very small needle for precise injections and the Sclerotherapy procedure is only minimally uncomfortable.

Is bruising normal in Sclerotherapy treatment?

Sclerotherapy bruising is normal and it will last for 4-5 days. Oral Arnica or topical Arnica gel will help to decrease the bruising.

What are the things that I shouldn't do after the Sclerotherapy?

Recommended that you restrain from strenuous exercise and crossing your legs as it can add more issues later.

If veins on your legs cause you embarrassment, call the office of Montclair dermatologist Dr. Downie today for a consultation to find out how Sclerotherapy can help.

What are the non-invasive fat melting procedures done at your practice?

With regard to non-invasive fat melting procedures there are many things to consider. There are different types of machines but at Image Dermatology I like the Exilis.

What does Exilis do?

Exilis means ‘thin’ in Latin. It is for melting the fat and tightening the skin on the :

• Stomach
• Back
• The buttocks
• The thighs
• And the backs of the arms

What is a Vanquish machine used for?

I have the Vanquish, which is for people that are bigger or thinner. I call it the ‘human toaster’ as my patients sit underneath it, while it melts the fat in a 45-minute treatment session. Sometimes I combine that with the Exilis

Who is a good candidate for non-Invasive fat melting procedure?

We are looking for people who want to lose inches, lose fat and who are willing to drink a lot of water. If you are well hydrated, you can get rid of the fat faster than when you are not well hydrated.

So, the type of person we are looking for is somebody like:

1. Can afford to come in every two weeks probably sometime we see people once a month.
2. That can spend an hour to an hour and a half in our office, because we hook you up to one machine and then typically, we hook you up to a separate machine for optimal treatment results.

We actually combine machines so they are paying for one machine when they are actually getting the benefit of two.

How do you monitor progress of the treatment?

We look at what your goals are – we look at your stomach, we photograph your stomach, measure your stomach and weigh you. We look at objective goals to where we are going to be 4 treatment sessions later, 6 treatment sessions later and 8 treatment sessions later.

My patients are delighted and they like being accountable. We keep track of where patients are on every treatment session, so that we can make proper progress and move forward together.

Call Dr. Downie at her Montclair, New Jersey office at (973) 509-6900 today, to learn more about this non-invasive fat melting procedure.

Dr. Downie started her career on january 18th,2000

This is a very diverse practice.

What is INTRAcel used for?

The INTRAcel is one of the most popular devices here at Image Dermatology® P.C. this technology is used for;

• Acne Scars
• Lines around the mouth and the lip
• Lines on the neck
• Lines in face in general
• Surgical Scars
• Traumatic Scars
• Stretch marks

Can this be used for skin tightening?

It is used to kind of pick up the face in conjunction with the IntraGen™ (the same manufacturer). Sometimes people want to do tightening and they want to pick up the face with INTRAcel.

What I mean is the IntraGen™ is going to tighten and the INTRAcel is going after the fine lines and wrinkles. And really seriously rejuvenate their skin.

How does INTRAcel work?

The INTRAcel device is radio frequency and micro needling together. There are different depths that we can do with the micro needling.

We do numb the patient before the INTRAcel procedure for about 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the individual patient and the pain tolerance that they have.

My patients with acne scarring, surgical scars, stretch marks, with lines around the mouth or lips, neck or face are delighted with the results.

Can large pose be treated with INTRAcel?

I also use INTRAcel interestingly enough to decrease pose size that is another winner because there are not enough products in terms of Dermatology anti-aging technology that really attacks the pose size. I sometimes use the INTRAcel one time one month and alternate that with Fraxel the next month and I go back and forth.

This would be to treat acne scars or pose size. I might go back and forth because they both work in two different manners and if I do that, I get the ultimate results that is very exciting.

To learn more about INTRAcel technology, call us at (973) 509-6900 and schedule a consultation.

What is Xeomin®?

Xeomin is a botulinum toxin A that is FDA approved. I did a lot of clinical trials for Xeomin® for use on the face in the glabella area.

In what areas can Xeomin® be used?

I typically use it off labeled under the arms, hyperhidrosis for sweating. My patients really like it a lot and are very excited by the fact that they don't sweat as much.

Can Xeomin® be used cosmetically on the face?

I tend to use Botox more on the face than Xeomin, but both can be used to decrease fine lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows on the upper forehead around the crow’s feet areas which is obviously the corners of the eyes it can be used on the perioral lip line around the mouth,smokers line, neckwards.

The main place that I used Xeomin® in my office is probably under the arms and somewhat for cosmetic uses on the face.

Who is a good candidate for this?

Xeomin® like Botox is a purified protein derivative what that means is that anyone can use it. The ideal candidate is someone that wants to slow down the aging process.

Botox with Xeomin® I definitely say, if you don't get the crease, you’ll never have the deep crack you will not look like your aunty or mum or grandmother whoever it is you are trying to avoid looking like.

Because Xeomin® like Botox uses anti-wrinkle technology and a needle to make you look younger and less stressed.

To learn more about Xeomin®, call us at (973) 509-6900 and schedule a consultation.

What is EmSculpt™?

The is a cutting-edge technology that helps you lose fat. So, you lose 19% fat and build 16% muscles.

Who is a good candidate for EmSculpt™?

This is good for people who have a little bit of fat on the abdomen that wants to build muscle.

Patients who have a lot of fat on the abdomen will have to do another machine like the Vanquish to get their fat off their abdomen or perhaps the Vanquish and Exilis before they get to the EmSculpt™.

The EmSculpt™ can help to lift the buttocks muscle and make it rounder and better if you flip the patient on their belly. I don’t consider EmSculpt™ a women’s procedure only since men also like to get a lift on their buttocks muscle.

Can EmSculpt™ be used by all?

Patients with a pacemaker are not recommended for this procedure. Patients with head implants can use EmSculpt™ but are supposed to share their medical history with the doctor.

If you have a copper IUD you probably should not use it. Since, on this type of machine, we go from 20% - 50% and then try to get everybody at a 100% capacity.

How does it work?

My medical assistants apply an applicator to the abdomen, one or two depending on the size of the abdomen and then we basically flip the switch on the machine and its similar on the abdomen to doing 20,000 crunches in 30 minutes.

It's very efficient in terms of how it uses the technology to tighten your muscle. People get off the machine feeling like they have had a workout.

How long is the treatment plan?

We recommend 6 – 8 treatment sessions for everyone whether it is the abdomen or the buttocks. Then, we recommend at least every three months for maintenance.

Once you do the 6 or 8 treatment sessions, we decrease how much you pay for additional follow up treatment sessions.

Is EmSculpt™ safe for other areas too?

It is safe and very effective, my patients love it. We are using it off-label on the interior wise above the knees to tighten knee fat and also use it on the back.

Call (973) 509-6900 to schedule an EmSculpt™ consultation at Dr. Downie’s Montclair, NJ office.

What is IntraGen™?

IntraGen™ is a tightening device that is used for the face, especially the lower jaw and neck area. It is a non-invasive radio frequency device that is colour blind.

Who would be an ideal candidate for the procedure?

It can be used on white, black, Latino and Asian patients. The amount of melanin in the skin does not make a difference. It is typically used for people who need skin tightening, people over the age of 35 years are the ideal candidates.

How do smokers benefit from this?

Even my patients who are smokers like this machine because it helps to decrease the smoking lines.

How does the IntraGen™ procedure work?

It is basically 4-6 treatment sessions. It feels hot as we don’t numb you before the procedure and it is not uncomfortable though.

You apply the applicator device in roundish circles to the face with one mode and then the other mode is a stamping mode when you let that applicator linger a little bit more. Patients are delighted with the results.

Is it safe and affordable?

Typically, we don’t use it in the eye area. We go around the outskirts of the eye area but everywhere else on the face particularly around the mouth, around the lower jaw and on the neck, it's being used a lot.

It’s a tightening technology not as expensive as the others tightening technologies on the market. My patients are very excited about the results and most people need about 4-6 treatment sessions and I recommend 1or 2 a year for maintenance.

To learn more about IntraGen™, call us at (973) 509-6900 and schedule a consultation.
