Liposuction is a very popular procedure that is used to remove localized areas of fat from the body and help give patients a slimmer, more balanced look. Recently, new technology and improved techniques have vastly improved the amount of pain commonly associated with liposuction procedures. Dr. Barrett has extensive experience in performing liposuction and has maintained beautiful cosmetic results for his patients. Good Candidates For Liposuction: The ideal candidate for liposuction is in good overall health and maintains a healthy life, but has one or more problem areas with unresponsive fat deposits. It is important for patients to remember that liposuction cannot be used as a means for substantial weight loss. It is instead used to remove excess fat in localized areas after the patient has attempted other traditional weight loss methods. Common treatment areas for Liposuction include Things, Knees, Abdomen, Flanks, Arms, Back, Hips, Neck, Buttocks, Chest, Face, Neck, and Ankles.

Dr. Barrett meets up with Lumenis to discuss their premium lasers for skin resurfacing. CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a safe, non-invasive procedure that helps rebuild and rejuvenate your skin while reducing unwanted blemishes and scarring. It essentially tricks your skin cells into creating new cells, so your body can replace damaged areas on its own. By addressing the skin at the cellular level, we can effectively turn back time on your skin and produce a more youthful and radiant appearance. Just three to five 30-minute sessions can give you a dramatic improvement in your skin and a boost to your confidence level. Our CO2 resurfacing system known as Fraxel uses fractionated technology to stimulate skin rejuvenation in a less invasive way than ablative laser procedures. This process addresses small areas of skin at a time, leaving surrounding skin and tissue untouched. The fractional nature of the procedure offers the dual benefit of promoting the body's natural rejuvenating processes while allowing for quicker recovery after treatment. The procedure is also more comfortable for patients, ensuring a positive experience and superior results.
