Tv - Venus freeze on health watch

STACY SAKAI: A new treatment promising the coveted youthful appearance is now being performed in our area. In this week's Health Watch, News Channel 10's Michelle Langowski has more on the cosmetic procedure gaining worldwide attention. MICHELLE LANGOWSKI: Venus Freeze has only been available in the Panhandle for a couple of weeks, but it is quickly gaining attention. DR. TAMARA JARROUS: So we go along the jaw line to lift. Ladies like the lift. MICHELLE: Amarillo Laser and Vein Clinic just received the Venus Freeze technology. The newest anti-aging treatment claims to tighten skin without surgery. DR. JARROUS: The Venus Freeze works through radio frequency and magnetic pulsing. There's no downtime, and it just feels like a hot rock massage, so the patients enjoy it and get great results. MICHELLE: After getting a sample of the treatment, I agree. I could feel my skin begin to warm as the device was rubbed along my neck and jaw line. DR. JARROUS: And that's basically how it works. It is just heating up the tissue and causing it to shrink. And then it's causing the body to produce new collagen. MICHELLE: Venus Freeze is approved by the FDA and has become popular around the world. These before and after pictures show some of the areas it can be used on. The most dramatic pictures are of upper arms, which is a problem area for many women. DR. JARROUS: If you want to get rid of that double chin, if you have arms that have some extra wings going on under there, it works great for that. With gastric banding and people losing all the weight, they have extra skin. This is the only thing that will really work on all of your body. MICHELLE: Dr. Jarrous says she has been surprised by the recent interest in aesthetic procedures by both women and men. The Freeze takes about six treatments, and that will cost you around $1,500.
