Nonsurgical Body Contouring

The phrase “body contouring” is often used in aesthetics to describe different procedures that can be used to refine and restore treated areas of the female figure and male physique. People who deal with areas of stubborn fat at loosened skin but prefer to not undergo surgery can be candidates for the Alma Accent Prime procedure at Revive Aesthetics and Wellness. This technique utilizes ultrasound and radiofrequency technologies to dissolve fat, break cellulite, and tighten skin within the defined areas of treatment. It is ideal for men and women who eat and drink nutritiously, exercise correctly, and yet still cannot achieve their ideal silhouette. Contact our practice in Ada to find out more and to set up consultation with Dr. Basch to determine if Accent Prime is right for you.

What Are The Benefits Of Nonsurgical Body Contouring?
Nonsurgical body contouring can provide:

  • Removal of undesired fat
  • Reduction of cellulite
  • Lasting, optimal outcomes after the treatment plan is completed
  • No recovery time after treatment

Is Nonsurgical Body Contouring Right For Me?
You may well be a candidate if you deal with loose skin or unyielding areas of fat and cellulite despite a consistent healthy diet and appropriate exercise. By way of example, the neck, stomach, lower back, thighs, flanks, and buttock folds can each create the look and feel of unwanted bulges. Suitable candidates for body contouring in Ada, MI typically have an acceptable body fat content (men, 10-20% BF, women 20-30% BF) but desire a sleeker look that reflects the effort they’ve put in to toning themselves, and yet do not want an invasive surgical process. Hence, the Accent Prime tagline “If you can pinch it, we can treat it”.

What Can I Expect During Body Contouring?
Nonsurgical body contouring is carried out in a private treatment room in our Ada office that is dedicated to the technique. The most common areas we treat are belly, thighs, neck, upper arms, hips, jawline, and midback at bra line. Dr. Basch and DiAnn will go over your cosmetic goals and create a tailored procedure plan to target your regions of concern. During treatment, separate handpieces smoothly glide over the predetermined anatomy and deliver energy in the form of ultrasound and radiofrequency waves to destroy fat cells, break cellulite, and tighten skin by generating collagen and elastin (connective tissue) in the dermis to support the epidermis. Each appointment may take 30-70 minutes depending upon the location we address.

Plasma Wave Skin Resurfacing

“Plasma” can refer to the component of the blood stream or can refer to a state of energy. Plasma skin resurfacing with Neogen is a non-invasive treatment that uses pulsations of nitrogen plasma energy to clear away damage cells on the skin surface and to stimulate regenerative growth below it. The treatment is used for reducing facial wrinkles and lines and for diminishing skin flaws, including acne scars, pigmentation, and more. Plasma skin resurfacing is considered an ideal procedure for patients who want clearer, softer, youthful-looking skin. Based on the condition of the skin type, the treatment will be customized for the best results. Any questions or concerns may be discussed with Dr. Thomas M. Basch during your assessment and consultation.

What Are the Benefits of Plasma Skin Resurfacing?
Revive Aesthetics and Wellness provides an advanced solution for skin rejuvenation without surgery — plasma skin resurfacing using the NeoGen platform. This minimally invasive procedure effectively eliminates damaged skin cells while stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. The result is an enhanced appearance and improved overall skin health. In addition, this treatment offers these potential additional benefits for our patients:

  • Lessening wrinkles and fine lines
  • Balancing out skin texture
  • Boosting skin tone and color
  • Shrinking visible pores
  • Limiting the appearance of hyperpigmentation
  • Obtaining a youthful look

What Can I Expect from Plasma Skin Resurfacing?
Throughout the plasma resurfacing procedure, you will relax in our special treatment chair while the NeoGen passes over the skin, directly targeting the needed areas of the body for resurfacing. You will experience a warm sensation like a mild sunburn while undergoing the treatment, but it shouldn’t be too uncomfortable. A numbing cream can be applied before the start of the procedure if preferred. The NeoGen works by using pulses of nitrogen plasma energy to remove dead and damaged skin cells while also prompting natural collagen production. As a result, you should see brightened, clearer, and revitalized skin.

Plasma Skin Tightening

Over time, our skin begins to lose its firmness and elasticity, which results in sagging and wrinkling contributing to the appearance of aging. Some of this appearance is from more superficial damage, and here, the plasma skin resurfacing excels. However, some of the aged appearance stems from a natural slowing of connective tissue repair and regeneration deep below the skin surface. We think of skin in terms of surface (epidermis) and the layer just below it (dermis), but often forget that the true foundation, which supports the skin and shapes the face, is connective tissue containing collagen and elastin. Rejuvenating this connective tissue rebuilds support for the skin and works to reduce facial wrinkles, sagging cheeks, loose eyelids, neck folds, chest creasing, acne scars, and age-related pigmentations. By using Neogen at more intense power settings, we can help rejuvenate and revitalize this connective tissue. The end result is not only a clearer surface skin within the first days and weeks, but also firmer deep skin as well as stronger connective tissue beneath it over months of continuing improvement.

As with the plasma skin resurfacing, this more intense treatment is of course customized for each patient, and any questions or concerns will be discussed with Dr. Basch and DiAnn during your consultation and assessment.

What Are the Benefits of Plasma Skin Tightening?
If you’re experiencing sagging skin and other aging indicators, undergoing plasma skin tightening treatments at Revive Aesthetics and Wellness may aid in obtaining a firmer, more revitalized appearance. This skin tightening procedure, performed with the NeoGen nitrogen plasma and radiofrequency platform in Ada, MI, offers the following advantages:

  • Enhancing the development of collagen and elastin
  • Revitalizing the facial area for a more youthful appearance
  • Firming the skin
  • Diminishing the visibility of sagging skin, wrinkles, and facial creases
  • Potential to address multiple regions around the face and neck
  • Nonsurgical procedures with minimal or no recovery time
  • Providing enduring outcomes

What Can I Expect During Plasma Skin Tightening?
A plasma skin tightening treatment at Revive Aesthetics and Wellness begins with a cleansing of the treatment site, followed by the application of a local anesthetic cream to help numb the skin. Because the Neogen skin tightening is more intense than the resurfacing, we highly recommend this application. It takes approximately 30 minutes from time of application to time of peak effectiveness, after which most patients describe the actual skin tightening procedure just mildly uncomfortable, akin to a thick rubber band snapping. This “snapping” is the nitrogen plasma beam, generated within the Neogen device, pulsating out from the handpiece. The handpiece is moved over the target area to deposit energy within the deep tissues, which in turn accelerates the body’s repair/regeneration/healing processes. After treatment, over a period of weeks and months as the collagen and elastin-based connective tissue improves in strength and thickness, the final results show themselves, and usually last 9-12 months.

Whether you choose the basic plasma skin resurfacing or the more advanced tightening, Neogen is a powerful, flexible, reliable regenerative aesthetic approach for patients seeking non-invasive options.

Botox®

As people become older, dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, like frowning and smiling, ultimately remain and can make them look less youthful. With BOTOX, it is now possible to temporarily reduce the formation of moderate to severe Crow’s feet, frown lines, and horizontal forehead creases. BOTOX is a purified type A strain of botulinum toxin that temporarily blocks the muscles that cause those movements, letting the overlying skin rebound on its own. At Revive Aesthetics and Wellness, Dr. Thomas M. Basch is excited to provide BOTOX injections as a minimally invasive solution to help patients obtain a younger-looking, renewed outcome. Reach out to our location in Ada, MI to find out more about the benefits of BOTOX.

What Are The Benefits Of BOTOX?
Signs of aging and wrinkles can take away from our other features and may make us look more aged than we are. BOTOX is a trusted option for providing you with a younger, refreshed appearance. While the outcomes are not forever, you can enjoy the benefits for a few months prior to needing to schedule a touch-up treatment. You may also get extra benefits from BOTOX at Revive Aesthetics and Wellness, such as:

  • Quick treatment sessions: your BOTOX appointments may last as little as 10 minutes
  • No rest or recovery: due to its minimally invasive qualities, you can resume your daily activities following injections
  • Minimal discomfort: BOTOX treatments use a very fine needle, so your treatments will feel only like a small prick of the skin
  • Straightforward maintenance: if you wish to maintain your results, follow-up treatments are short and feasible for to fit in a busy routine

Am I A Good Candidate For BOTOX?
Individuals seeking a noninvasive treatment to soften frown lines, forehead creases, or Crow’s feet may be prime candidates for BOTOX procedures at Revive Aesthetics and Wellness. These treatments may also be a great solution if you are bothered by noticeable “11” lines between the eyes (glabellar lines) that contribute to a withered or older look. BOTOX Cosmetic has gained popularity among younger patients, too. Although patients between the ages of 20 – 30 may not yet present with the signs of aging, BOTOX can be provided as a preventive option to fend off the natural process of aging by temporarily minimizing or stalling the proliferation of age-related lines.

How Does BOTOX Work?
During your initial treatment consultation at Revive Aesthetics and Wellness, Dr. Basch will provide an aesthetic evaluation to choose which areas require treatment. Given that BOTOX is generally a fast, in-office treatment, your injections can commonly be carried out at the same appointment. The formulation will be placed into the problem areas of your forehead or upper face using a fine needle. BOTOX treatment takes around ten minutes to complete, and most people experience only a minor pinching or pinprick sensation. After your visit, you can leave our office and go about your normal daily activities.

Facials

Having a proper skin care routine at home is vital to maintaining a vibrant complexion, but every now and then, you may desire better results that can be attained with a professional facial. Personalized for the concerns and needs of your complexion, Dr. Thomas M. Basch suggests regular facials for his Ada, MI patients to make their complexions clear and healthy. After a consultation to assess visible and hidden skin damage, the appropriate products and facial techniques will be selected to rejuvenate your skin. To further enhance your skin, add another procedure, such as microneedling or an injectable wrinkle filler. Schedule your appointment for a professional facial at Revive Aesthetics and Wellness to take the health and beauty of your skin to a higher level.

How Are Facials Performed?
Following your consultation where we will determine your unique treatment plan based on your skin’s condition and concerns, you can lie back in a treatment chair as your facial is performed. Your facial will be customized; however, most facials will begin with a deep cleansing to clear away dirt, makeup, and oil. After cleaning the skin, steam is often used to open the pores so whiteheads and blackheads can be easily extracted. This is usually followed by exfoliation, either done by hand or with an add-on treatment, like a chemical peel or microdermabrasion. A serum or mask may be massaged in for deep nourishment. At the end, an SPF moisturizer will be smoothed on to protect the skin from sun damage following the facial.

NewbaSKIN™ Hydradermabrasion

Afterward, you should see visible improvements in your face. We recommend NewbaSKIN hydradermabrasion every 4 – 6 weeks to maintain your new healthy, revitalized skin.

Microneedling

What Is Microneedling?
Dr. Thomas M. Basch is thrilled to offer microneedling with SkinPen®, the first FDA-approved microneedling device. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses multiple fine needles to effectively and safely make micro-injuries in the skin. The micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, two nutrients that enhance the appearance and health of your complexion. Easily combined with other skin treatments, like vitamin serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), microneedling may help minimize stretch marks, scars, and pores. Schedule a consultation at Revive Aesthetics and Wellness in Ada, MI to discover more about microneedling and ways to personalize the treatment for your cosmetic needs and goals.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
At Revive Aesthetics and Wellness, we recommend microneedling for people who desire several advantages:

  • A safe, nonsurgical treatment selection
  • Treatment of scar tissue, brown spots, or stretch marks
  • Improved texture and tone of complexion
  • Reduced appearance of loose skin, fine lines, and signs of aging

What Can I Expect from Microneedling?
Microneedling is completed in a private treatment room in about 30 – 60 minutes with local anesthesia or numbing cream if desired, but most patients experience either mild pain or no discomfort. The skin being treated will be cleaned before the SkinPen device is passed evenly over. After the microneedling is complete, a topical treatment, such as PRP or a serum with a vitamin infusion, can be applied for deeper penetration of the nutrients into the skin. A moisturizer will be massaged in, along with UV protection, since the treated skin will be sensitive after the treatment. Patients can typically expect to see results in just three sessions.

PRP Hair Restoration

What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
Hair loss can be a significant concern for many people, whether it’s brought on by age, genetics, hormones, medical conditions, or years of over-styling. With recent advances in research within the hair restoration industry, new treatments are being made to help fight this condition. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a nonsurgical treatment that’s showing remarkable results in slowing down, stopping, and even reversing hair loss. PRP hair restoration can help patients with alopecia areata or thinning eyebrows. Dr. Thomas M. Basch of Revive Aesthetics and Wellness offers this revolutionary therapy in Ada, MI. By combining a powerful solution of hair growth factors and bioactive proteins, he can help strengthen your hair, leading to thicker, healthier locks.

How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?
PRP hair restoration treatment is a minimally invasive process that takes place during a 60-minute in-office visit. The procedure starts with acquiring a small amount of your blood and putting it in a specialized machine where it will rotate at a high speed to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood components. After that, a local anesthetic will be used on your scalp, and the platelet-rich plasma will be introduced into regions of your head that are balding or thinning. Finally, microneedling is performed on the scalp to create micro-trauma and micro-channels into the skin, which triggers the PRP and permits it to penetrate deep into the skin.

PRP Facial Generation

Some patients prefer a wholly natural filler option, and here, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)excels. Every technique and every area that we can treat via Juvaderm products can also be treated with PRP extracted directly from the patient’s own blood. During this minimally invasive treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, immediately processed in our office, and then injected as her/his own (autologous) filler alternative into the desired treatment areas. Some patients continue to utilize the PRP option, while others, after experiencing success with PRP, will move to the longer lasting Juvaderm products.
