CoolSculpting Fat Freezing with the New CoolAdvantage Dual CoolSculpting Technique at Birken Medical Aesthetics

/in , , , , , , , , /by

CoolSculpting® is a revolutionary non-surgical contouring treatment that freezes stubborn fat, which then is naturally eliminated from your body.  No needles, no special diets, no supplements, no surgery.  And most importantly, no downtime.  It is now offered at Birken Medical Aesthetics of The Woodlands.

CoolSculpting® is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.   You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body is still flushing fat cells and will continue doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

Dr. Birken has served as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and has medical practices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  He has done post graduate training at theCenegenics Medical Institute, National Society of Cosmetic Physicians, American Academy for the Advancement of Medicine, and is certified in Advanced Bioidentical Hormones with Worldlink Medical.  He is the medical director for Birken Medial Aesthetics of The Woodlands.

CoolFit is the newest applicator in the CoolSculpting® product line.  CoolFit is specifically designed for longer fat bulges or fat bulges that were difficult to treat with other applicators.  With CoolFit, we can now further customize your CoolSculpting treatment plan to truly address your problem areas and achieve the results you want.

In addition, Dr. Birken is now a Certified CoolSculpting Practice and offers the new CoolAdvantage Dual CoolSculpting technique – less time, more fat freezing tissue, and more comfort.

It’s safe, FDA-cleared and effective.­­ Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months.

Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime.  Patients often spend procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.

ThermiVa Treatment in The Woodlands, Texas: Non surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

ThermiVa is a non-surgical technique for vaginal dryness, stress and urgency urinary incontinence, and for orgasmic enhancement.

“As a uro-gynecologist for 36 years, I’m amazed how effective these treatments can be and without any discomfort of downtime,” Dr. Randy Birken said.

One of Dr. Birken’s patients, P.G., said “ThermiVa not only improved my leaky bladder but tightened both my exterior vaginal folds and vagina as well.”

ThermiVa™ has been found to be effective in helping reduce vaginal dryness and atrophy, reducing urinary leakage, and helping improve symptoms or orgasmic dysfunction. It may also help reduce mild to moderate pelvic prolapse symptoms by shrinkage of vaginal tissues and helping improve muscular coordination and strength.

ThermiVa is an in-office, non-surgical procedure for labia and vaginal tightening. A radio frequency generator, made by Thermi Aesthetics powers a “S” shaped hand piece that tightens external and internal vulvovaginal tissue via a thermistor tip which is able to control heat delivered. The tip has gentle curves that provide comfort.

“It’s extraordinary that a non-surgical technique can improved bladder function as well as tighten both the labia and vaginal canal,” Dr. Birken said.

Bioidentical Hormones at Birken Medical Aesthetics of The Woodlands

/in , , , , , , , /by

As we age, some experience weight gain, loss of muscle tone, fatigue, poor sleep, reduced libido, moodiness, mental fog, more aches and pains, and lower motivation.

Younger men and women may experience the same symptoms as well.

“Patients experience significant reduction in quality of life, vitality, and sense of well being when hormone levels are not optimal,” Dr. Birken continued.  “By elevating  hormones with bioidentical hormones, either as compounded capsules, creams, injections, or pellets, patients regain energy, sleep better, lose weight, heightened libido and sexual performance, improved mental clarity, increase in strength and physical endurance, and are happier overall. While the changes can be dramatic, its important to individualized hormone dosages since each patient has their own physiology and metabolism.”

Dr. Birken has served as a  Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and has medical practices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  He has done post graduate training at theCenegenics Medical Institute, National Society of Cosmetic Physicains, and the American Academy for the Advancement of Medicine.  Dr. Birken is certified in Advanced Bio-Identical Hormones through Worldlink Health.  He is the medical director for Birken Medial Aesthetics of The Woodlands.

“I used to see middle-aged to older patients with lower hormone levels with these complaints,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician, said.  “But now we see younger individuals as well, especially women on hormonal contraceptives and men who are have poor nutrition.”

Dr. Birken offers the BioTe® method of hormone pellet therapy for consistent and balanced hormone delivery over several months.
