Get the Skinny on Body Shaping

NEW YORK, March 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As we get ready to show some skin in the coming months now is the time to treat those aesthetic issues that a gym membership and a fad diet can't help with.  The Body Contouring Center at the renowned JUVA Skin & Laser Center in New York is a full-service retreat offering the latest technological advances in non-invasive and minimally invasive body contouring techniques to treat a wide variety of body issues.

Men & women battling the appearance of fat deposits no longer have to endure a long and uncomfortable recovery.  Laser-assisted liposuction, which was pioneered at JUVA, is an optional treatment along with some of the latest radio-frequency technologies like the Accent Treatment and Exilis, which was recently featured on The Today Show.  By volumetrically heating tissue to ramp up the metabolic activity of fat cells, radio-frequency treatments quickly and effectively remove fat and tighten skin.

Whether a patient is looking to get rid of excess tissue in the abdomen region or has experienced massive weight loss, multiple approaches are used to restore their body's contour to its best possible appearance.  At JUVA, patients have procedures performed under local anesthesia in the facility's AAAHC accredited surgery center and can return to work in two days.

For women whose breasts have become droopy or deflated or men suffering from gynecomastia (otherwise known as "man boobs") some of the latest advancements such as the Keller Funnel are performed to minimize incision size and reduce the risk of developing any complications during aesthetic breast surgery.

"The change in seasons always inspires people to look their best and at The Body Contouring Center at JUVA we specialize in finding the right approach to help our patients obtain their desired results while being sensitive to their time and lifestyle obligations," said Dr. Bruce Katz, Director of the JUVA Skin and Laser Center. "Whether they are looking to rid themselves of a small patch of stubborn fat or are interested in enhancing their figure, patients have relied on our facility for the latest advancements in a safe and comfortable setting."

Conveniently located in the heart of East Midtown, the Body Contouring Center at JUVA offers a flexible and discrete environment for patients with weekend office hours designed specifically for time-sensitive patients. In the coming months The Body Contouring Center will unveil a revolutionary, long-lasting therapy to permanently treat cellulite and continue to offer cutting edge technologies to enhance the way we look and feel.
