I know you’re probably thinking, “Why is he talking about summer when I’ve just started breaking out my sweaters!?!” But November, December and January are all great months to consider having body sculpting procedures such as SmartLipo or VASER done. Here’s why:

1. On average, it takes 4 – 6 months for the final results to appear after undergoing SmartLipo or VASER. You will definitely see some results immediately, but over the next 6 months you will also see continued improvement as your body sheds excess fluid and the swelling subsides. If you schedule your SmartLipo or VASER procedure now, your new silhouette will be ready for unveiling as soon as the temperature starts to rise.
2. After a SmartLipo or VASER procedure, you’ll need to wear a compression garment as you heal and your body takes on its new shape. Cooler weather means longer sleeves and pants – which make it easier to camouflage the compression garment. Plus, the compression garment acts as an insulator, keeping you warm when temperatures drop.
3. Most people take time off during the holidays. So if you complete your procedure during your regularly scheduled winter vacation, you’ll have more time to relax and recuperate before you return to work.
4. Wow everyone on New Year’s Eve! SmartLipo and VASER can both eliminate hard to get rid of fat deposits in your hips, thighs, waist, back arms, chin, and stomach. Just think how good it will feel to slip into a one-size-smaller little black dress to ring in the New Year!

The winter months are also a great time to schedule SmartXide DOT Laser skin resurfacing. After being treated with the SmartXide DOT Laser, we advise you to stay out of the sun as much as possible while your skin regenerates and the new skin grows in. It’s much easier to avoid the sun during the winter than it is during Houston’s scorching summers. (Although I still recommend that you wear sunscreen every day of the year – no matter what the thermometer reads.)
