How Your Sleep Affects Your Skin

Just like your brain goes into recovery mode during sleep, so does your skin. While you sleep, your body is working hard to rebuild healthy cells that will replace damaged ones. Only while you are asleep, can your body regenerate human growth hormones and collagen, which are both crucial to younger, healthier looking skin.

PROBLEM Sleep deprivation causes cell recovery to slow, leading to wrinkles and fine lines, therefore sleeping less than the recommended seven hours a night, can result in advanced premature aging.

PROBLEM Too little sleep makes blood vessels start to expand causing blood pools to settle under your eyes resulting in dark and puffy under eye circles.

VISHA SKIN CARE SOLUTION

BRIGHT EYE BOOSTER Use the booster to help stimulate micro-circulation underneath and around the eye area, and dramatically reduce puffiness and visibly minimize the appearance of dark under eye circles in 6 minutes or less. *click product image to shop

PROBLEM Without enough sleep the body becomes stressed, causing it to produce increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol, resulting in inflammation and potentially dry, flaky skin and a dull complexion; even worse, eczema.

PROBLEM Sleep deprivation leaves your body in a dehydrated state often producing redness and breakouts on the skin, as well as decreased levels of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the body, causing your skin to lose its healthy glow.

Dr. Purvisha Patel Shows Coolsculpting In Memphis TV Show

Memphis dermatologist Dr. Purvisha Patel shows Coolsculpting in this video from “Live At 9” on WREG 3. CoolSculpting is an effective treatment to “freeze” fat for non-surgical fat reduction and body contouring. The treatment targets specific, stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. “Coolsculpting is intended for those who are at a healthy weight but just cannot seem to work off fat in certain problem areas,” says Dr. Patel. “This can be used to contour the abdomen, thighs, ‘love handles’, arms and other areas of the body.”

Freeze Your Fat
The CoolSculpting procedure is the only FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat. "The results are proven, noticeable and lasting so patients can look great from every angle," says Dr. Patel. "Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body.”

“This technology is designed to reduce unwanted fat in specific body areas and should not be considered as an alternative to liposuction to remove larger amounts of fat,” says Dr. Patel. “With Coolsculpting we can sculpt those areas where it’s difficult to lose fat, even with dieting and exercise.”
Dr. Patel describes Coolsculpting and shows before-after photos on "Live At 9".
