Why Choose Rex Bariatrics for Cosmetic Care
Our cosmetic procedures are performed by our dedicated team of board-certified bariatric and general surgeons in Raleigh. Their collective background in bariatric care provides a distinct advantage for patients seeking post-weight-loss aesthetic enhancements.
Our practice utilizes advanced technology and minimally invasive techniques specifically selected for post-weight-loss patients. The treatments address common concerns, including skin laxity, localized fat deposits, and texture irregularities that develop following bariatric surgery. This specialized approach produces superior outcomes compared to generic cosmetic treatments.
Overview of Cosmetic Treatments
Radio Frequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL)
RFAL is an advanced procedure that combines fat removal with skin tightening. It employs radio frequency energy to liquefy fat cells for easier removal while heating the underlying tissues. This thermal energy promotes collagen contraction, resulting in a noticeable skin tightening effect.
For post-weight-loss patients, RFAL is particularly effective for reducing localized fat deposits and addressing mild to moderate skin laxity in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, arms, and thighs. The procedure aims to sculpt the body and provide a smoother, more defined silhouette.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that improves skin texture and firmness. This involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production.
For individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, microneedling can reduce the appearance of stretch marks, minimize fine lines, and improve the overall firmness and texture of the skin. It is often applied to the abdomen, thighs, and arms to enhance skin quality.
PRP Injections for Hair Growth
Hair thinning or loss can occur following bariatric surgery due to nutritional shifts and physiological stress. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy offers a natural solution by using concentrated platelets from your blood, which are injected into the scalp. The growth factors in PRP stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote new hair growth, providing a non-surgical option to address post-bariatric hair thinning.
