There are many different types of acne treatments available in Oklahoma. A dermatologist in Oklahoma can offer the right type of help required. With so many factors affecting clearance and a multitude of treatment options available (some only by prescription), a dermatologist’s help can make a difference. Before prescribing treatment, dermatologists in Oklahoma consider several factors, including the severity of the acne, types of lesions present, co-existing conditions, as well as the patient’s age, skin type, lifestyle and motivation.
The knowledge gained from considering these factors allows dermatologists in Oklahoma to create effective individualized therapy that will resolve the patient’s acne over time and prevent new lesions from forming.
Sometimes a dermatologist may combine two or more treatment options. A patient may be instructed to use one medication in the morning and the other at night.

Due to possible side effects, over-the-counter medications should not be combined unless directed by a dermatologist or other medical practitioner.

Brown Spot Removal |
||
Age spots are also known as sun spots, liver spots, lentigos, or lentigines. These lesions are flat, tan, brown, or dark brown spots on sun-exposed skin. As people age, sun spots most commonly appear on the backs of the hands, the forearms, neck, chest, and face. Sun spots are associated with cumulative sun exposure. The pigment producing cells in the skin (called melanocytes) are activated to produce more pigment (melanin) by ultraviolet rays. While these spots are not themselves cancerous, you may be at risk for skin cancer if you have them. For more information on Brown Spot Removal ...Click Here. |

Cellulite Reduction & Fat Removal |
||
Cellulite arises when the connective tissue puts pressure on the fat making the fat bulge under the skin. The less fat you have the less noticeable the cellulite is. A healthy diet and exercise help in reducing cellulite. To reduce cellulite you will have to detoxify your body, especially the liver and colon. During detoxification cut out nicotine and caffeine, do not eat extra salt or fat and drink a lot of water. Eat things like soya, blueberries and nuts. Ensure that you have sufficient intake of nutrients like glucosamine, B vitamins and essential fatty acids. Onions are good for reducing cellulite. Onions act like a natural diuretic and will release the excess water from the skin cells.

Chemical Peels |
||
| Chemical peels are great for use as anti aging treatments, acne treatments, scar treatments and also to refreshen the skin. It is healthy and necessary to exfoliate your skin on a regular basis to promote new regeneration of skin cells - due to the fact that as we age this process naturally slows down our production of collagen. Chemical peels are comprised of an active acid solution that is set at a substantially lower pH level than your skin's natural pH. It is applied to the skin, and while it is working it "eats away" the buildup of glue which holds the outermost, dead layers of skin to your face. After the acid separates the dead skin, in a matter of 3-5 days it will begin to peel off and allow new skin to regenerate. The new skin is smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin, and may also be more even in color. There are occasions where the underlying skin is also pigmented, and this may come to the surface after a chemical peel. In most cases repeated peels will remove even the deeper layers of damages. Thus, peeling is a process and not just a one-time treatment. A recommendation is 6-8 treatments should be considered. * Chemical peels can correct (sun) damaged skin in Oklahoma |
||
Collagen Injections / Collagen Fillers & Replacement Therapy |
||

Eyelash - Eyebrow Tinting & Perming |
||
| Toss out that outdated eyelash curler! An Eyelash Perm is a safe and effective way to keep your lashes curled and beautiful all the time. The technique, products and eyelash perm solution used in our Oklahoma spas are all imported directly from Japan, making Shizuka NY's a truly authentic Japanese eyelash perm. These experienced technicians can can adjust the intensity of the curl to meet your needs. This procedure takes approximately 1 hour and the results generally last for 4-6 weeks, or the natural growth cycle of the eyelashes. The eyelash perm procedure is custom-made rubber "rollers" that are gently affixed to the eyelids. These rollers come in varying sizes, allowing the client to select from a range of super-curly eyelashes to a more natural look. The individual eyelashes are then curled over the rollers, and a permanent solution is applied. Similar to the hair on your head, the solution allows the lash hairs to retain their curl for a period of 4-6 weeks. Eyelash perms can dramatically open up the look of the eye area and give the appearance of longer and fuller lashes, even before mascara. |
||
Fat Transfer |
||
| Fat is withdrawn from the patient in one of three ways: with a syringe that has a large bore needle or with a liposuction cannula. The fat is prepared according to the practitioner’s favorite method and then injected into the patient’s recipient site. The preparation process clears the donor fat of blood, pain killers and other unwanted ingredients that could cause infections or other undesirable side effects. Moreover, some physicians have found that human fat outside the body is incredibly delicate. One researcher (Mendieta) found that, to obtain viable fat, the needle withdrawing the fat can’t be too narrow, the liposuction cannula can’t have too strong a vacuum pressure and the centrifuge used to clear debris from the donated tissue can’t spin too rapidly. Another researcher found that vacuum pressure on the liposuction machine could not be higher than 700 mmHg.
A few doctors excise, or cut, small strips of fat from the body and then place, rather than inject, the tissue in the recipient site, using additional small incisions.
Other uses and applications continue to develop as surgeons work with, and learn more about, fat transfer. Some of the most current and developing applications include:
Cheek and chin implants (medicine)
Repair of inverted nipples
Increasing the girth of the penis
Depending on the surgeon, the patient and several other factors, the body is reported to reabsorb anywhere from 20 to 95 percent of transferred fat.
Due to the varying rates of absorption and the different lengths of time fat is reported remaining in the body, many physicians and other researchers worldwide since the 1980s have tracked success, safety and failure rates of fat transfer. In most applications, fat injections are laid down through several different layers of skin and muscle to provide a better chance for the fat cells to find a nearby blood supply. Because some fat is always absorbed, most physicians inject somewhere around 30 percent too much. |

Foto ~ PhotoFacials |
||
The IPL hand piece delivers high intensity pulses of broadband light that is different from the narrow band light of lasers. IPL, which stands for intensed pulsed light, is non-ablative meaning that is does not damage the surface of the skin. The intense light is delivered to the deeper parts of the skin (dermis) and leaves the superficial aspect of the skin (epidermis) untouched. There are different versions of IPL available on the market that target different structures in the skin. The PhotoDerm VL targets vascular lesions such as spider veins and vascular birthmarks. The PhotoDerm PL targets pigmented lesions such as melasma and age spots. The PhotoDerm HR and Epilight target hair. The thermal effect of IPL also causes production of new collagen, leading to improvement in wrinkles. For more information on Foto / Photo Facials ...Click Here. |

Laser Hair Removal |
||
| Laser hair removal is the use of laser energy to produce long-term hair reduction. This is accomplished by producing heat in the hair, which is transferred to the hair follicle, which in-turn produces inflammation, and this inflammation sends a signal to the hair follicle to go into the resting (telogen) phase. Treatment Areas for Laser Hair Removal are:
• bikini area How many treatments should be performed through Laser Hair Removal: Normally, a series of three to five treatments are administered at four to eight week intervals depending upon the location of the hair. Following the initial series of laser hair removal treatments in Oklahoma, subsequent treatments are administered, usually at longer and longer intervals. Some number of maintenance of treatments may be needed to keep all the hair away in a given area. After a single treatment, the hair in a given area is usually reduced in amount and thickness for a very long period of time. However, it may not be completely gone. To keep an area completely devoid of hair, maintenance treatments are always required. These maintenance treatments may eventually be required at only yearly intervals or even longer. This depends on the area being treated as well as the individual. As with any other traits in an individual, the frequency of maintenance treatments varies considerably from person to person. |

Leg Vein Treatment Therapy ~ Treatment of Spider Veins |
||
| Spider veins, also called telangiectasias, are tiny visible vessels just underneath the skin. They develop most commonly on the face and legs. Varicose veins are distended veins beneath the skin. They may appear as bluish bumps and often cause discomfort. Those with unsightly varicose veins and aching pain often choose to have surgery to remove their varicose veins. Varicose veins are veins that are no longer functional, and their presence is not missed by the body. Ask your general surgeon about varicose vein treatment. If you have both varicose and spider veins, your varicose veins must be treated first. Treating spider veins first is generally futile because, in the presence of varicose veins, they are bound to return soon. During laser vein treatments, a laser is applied to the skin over your spider veins. Laser energy causes your spider veins to coagulate and shrink. Laser therapy is most effective for small and medium size spider veins. Large spider veins respond poorly and are best treated with sclerotherapy. You are likely to experience mild discomfort similar to having a small rubber band snapping against skin. Treatments usually do not require sedatives, pain medications, or injections of local anesthetic. |
||
Lipo Dissolve |
||
| Lipodissolve is a non-surgical procedure of injecting a combination of homeopathic agents and FDA approved medications directly into the fat to cause the fat cells to burst (“dissolve”). It is an alternative to liposuction for treating problem areas of fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise.
The main ingredient is Phosphatidylcholine (“PPC”), which is actually what causes the fat cell to burst. Vitamin B complex (various “B” vitamins) is added to help support the liver’s breakdown process of the fat. These two ingredients are homeopathic ingredients. The only prescription medication used in Lipodissolve is something called Trental, which is FDA approved for poor circulation and is used “off-label” in Lipodissolve to help the fat cells burst quicker. These ingredients are all mixed with saline. |
||
Lipo Lite ~ LipoLyte |
||
| Phosphatidyl choline (lecithin) and a special mixture of other natural vitamins and nutrients are injected into the fatty areas, like the buttocks, thighs or “love handles” and work by triggering enzymes responsible for breaking down and dissolving fat, as well as for slimming and smoothing the skin. Lipo-Lite is not a replacement for liposuction because, so far, it has only been used on small amounts of fat. It is perfect for the person who wants to lose that last 5 pounds of fat. Areas treated are: • thighs There is no downtime and no apparent side effects, other than slight swelling and bruising in the treated areas. The injected areas may remain tender for several days to a few weeks.
Patients can usually return to work the same day.

||
Liposuction |
||
| The concept of liposuction in Oklahoma is surprisingly simple. Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body's contour by removing excess fat from deposits located between the skin and muscle. Liposuction involves the use of a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula (from the Latin word for reed, tube, cane). The cannula is connected to a powerful suction pump and inserted into the fat through small incisions in the skin. Fat removal is accomplished as the suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers. After surgery, these tiny tunnels collapse and thus result in an improved body contour. Liposuction Techniques are: •abdomen There are various techniques for doing liposuction. Some techniques are now longer considered safe (Dry Technique), and some are recognized as world-wide standards of care (Tumescent Technique). The links above will take you to written discussions of the most popular and important of the liposuction techniques.
Patients can usually return to work the same day. |

Mesotherapy |
||
| Pioneered by the French physician Dr. Michel Pistor in 1952, Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that is widely used in Europe and elsewhere to treat various injuries and medical conditions. This medical specialty targets problem areas with microinjections of conventional or homeopathic medicines, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Mesotherapy is a safe, natural alternative to invasive cosmetic procedures. The Mesolift process delivers vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into the skin to nourish and rejuvenate, promote production of collagen and elastin, and stimulate your metabolism. As your skin ages, circulation decreases, and the resulting reduction of oxygen and nutrients hinders your body's ability to flush out toxins. This is what drives premature aging and causes the skin to develop an ashen appearance. After treatment, patients commonly describe their skin as looking rested, radiant, glowing and firmer. Mesotherapy can be used a supplement, or an alternative, to many anti-aging regimens, including botox, laser resurfacing, peels, antioxidants, topical creams and facelifts. Mesotherapy is also a highly effective rejuvenating treatment. The procedure can be used to tone and tighten sagging skin on the neck, legs, abdomen, arms and hands. In Europe, women often start treatments in their thirties, but Mesotherapy can prove valuable during any stage of a woman's life. For more information on Mesotherapy ...Click Here. |

Perlane® |
||
| Perlane® restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). After your treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, and bruising. This will normally last less than seven days. Although rare, red or swollen small bumps may occur. If you have had herpes before, an injection can cause the herpes to return. In rare circumstances, the doctor may inject into a blood vessel, which can damage the skin. To avoid bruising and bleeding, you should not use Perlane if you have recently used drugs that thin your blood or prevent clotting. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18, you shouldn’t use Perlane®.

Permanent Makeup Cosmetics |
||
| Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos (permanent pigmentation of the dermis) as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eye lining and other permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the face, lips, and eyelids. It is also used to produce artificial eyebrows, particularly in people who have lost it as a consequence of old age, disease, such as alopecia, chemotherapy, or a genetic disturbance, and to disguise scars and white spots in the skin such as in vitiligo. It is also used to restore or enhance the breast's areola, such as after breast surgery.
Most commonly called permanent cosmetics, other names include dermapigmentation, micropigmentation, and cosmetic tattooing[1] (the latter being most appropriate since permanent makeup is, in fact, tattooing.) In the United States and other countries, the inks used in permanent makeup and the pigments in these inks are subject to FDA or similar agency regulation as cosmetics and color additives.
Permanent Makeup includes: • eyebrows Results are usually good, and often mimic topically applied cosmetics, such as in complete alopecia of the eyebrows. The skill and the experience of the tattoo artist are fundamental. Before committing to permanent makeup, particularly if for convenience only, clients should be aware of the potential problems of later removal and complications that may ensue. As with tattooing, permanent makeup may take several sessions and may present some minor discomfort. (Although many technicians will use a topical anesthetic to help reduce any discomfort.) Result appear "harsh" just after application, but become somewhat more natural (as natural as makeup can be) after a few weeks. |

Photo Rejuvenation |
||
| PhotoRejuvenation is a cosmetic treatment designed to produce younger and healthier looking skin. As most of us age, we begin to see visible signs of sun damage, time, and lifestyle choices appearing in our complexion. This aged look may include freckles, Rosacea, wrinkles, broken capillaries, dark spots, blotchy skin color, redness of the face and neck, enlarged pore size and uneven pigmentation. PhotoRejuvenation is the only procedure that can treat vascular redness, the appearance of Rosacea, pigmented brown spots, sun damage, skin texture, and collagen structure all at once. With the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™) technology, dramatic improvements can now be accomplished with little or no "downtime" and with very minimal discomfort. PhotoRejuvenation is a series of Intense Pulsed Light treatments that improve the appearance of Rosacea, flushing, broken capillaries, sun damaged skin, age spots, skin texture, and photo aging. Treatment also improves mild acne scars, reduces large pores, corrects dark circles around the eyes, and reduces fine lines. Treatments are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest, and hands. This exciting treatment involves little or no "down time." You can resume normal activities immediately. Patients can usually return to work the same day. For more information on Photo Rejuvenation ...Click Here. |

QuickLift™ |
||
| The QuickLift™ is a revolutionary procedure that tightens skin in the lower portion of the face and neck in a minimally invasive way. The technique, which was recently modernized by renowned cosmetic surgeon, Dominic Brandy, MD, delivers impressive results similar to a traditional lower facelift with a lower likelihood of complications and a quicker recovery. The QuickLift™ was developed by Dominic Brandy, MD, and is performed by a number of doctors who have been personally trained by him. The QuickLift™ is an improved version of the S-Lift, which has been performed since the late 1990s with limited results. The QuickLift™ provides an overall lift to the lower region of the face and upper neck, offering significant age-diminishing effects with minimal downtime and lasting results.
The QuickLift™ is designed for men and women between the ages of 40 and 65+ who want to stay ahead of the aging process. At this age, most individuals lose elasticity in their skin and develop varying degrees of looseness along the jaw line and beneath the chin.
Unlike procedures with similar names and most mini facelifts that tighten only skin, the QuickLift™ permanently suspends the underlying structures of the lower face (SMAS) offering men and women the benefit of a more youthful appearance for years to come. Although the QuickLift™ can produce significant aesthetic improvement for most people, it is important to remember that after any facial procedure, the normal aging process resumes. Lifestyle choices, bone structure, skin type, sun exposure and heredity all play a part in determining how long the desired result will last.

Rosacea Treatment Therapy |
||
| Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea ~ The erythematotelangiectatic subtype of rosacea is the most difficult to treat. There is little evidence that topical or oral antibiotics have any role in the treatment of erythema, telangiectasias and flushing-blushing reactions. Isotretinoin may improve erythema resulting from inflammation, but this effect may be transient. Drugs that antagonize flushing may be helpful in some patients. Vascular laser and light therapy is the most effective modality in this subtype. Papulopustular Rosacea ~ The papulopustular type of rosacea is the easiest subtype to treat. Most of these patients respond readily to topical medications such as metronidazole, benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, erythromycin, and azelaic acid. In several studies, topical medications were shown to be equally effective to oral medications although therapy may take longer to be effective. Since 2006 there has been a paradigm shift in the therapeutic decision-making process for treating rosacea. In the past, topical agents were considered as first-line therapy, and oral agents were introduced only when topical medications were ineffective, or were used in patients for whom immediate response was paramount. With the advent of once-daily, non-antibiotic dosing of doxycycline, oral therapy has become more commonly prescribed as first-line treatment. Often oral and topical antibiotics are used in combination; the resulting effect may be synergistic. Ultimately the patient may be converted to topical therapy alone for maintenance purposes. However long-term, anti-inflammatory dose doxycycline offers a viable alternative. Isotretinoin is highly effective in this type of rosacea, especially given that low-dose, long-term therapy is an option particularly in men and women of nonchildbearing potential. Dapsone may be necessary in refractory rosacea or in a patient for whom isotretinoin is contraindicated. Phymatous Rosacea Surgical ~ or laser ablation is often necessary to eradicate existing lesions of significant size. Isotretinoin has been reported to halt the progression of rhinophymata and to shrink overall volume of phymata by reducing the size of the sebaceous glands, but it does not appear to be curative.[37,39,40,47-50] Ocular Rosacea Mild, ~ chronic ocular rosacea responds well to topical agents and eyelid hygiene. More significant disease responds promptly and substantially to virtually any oral antibiotic. Tetracyclines, because of their safety profile, are most often used.[51,52] Isotretinoin use may improve the more severe presentations of ocular rosacea, including coloboma formation and corneal erosions. Potential side-effects for this type of rosacea include dry eyes and gritty irritation during therapy. Granulomatous Variant ~ The granulomatous variant of rosacea is treated in the same manner as papulopustular rosacea reviewed above. Severe disease also responds to the use of oral and intralesional corticosteroids. For more information on Rosacea ...Click Here. |

Tattoo Removal |
||
| Most dermatology surgeons in Oklahoma would caution that complete tattoo removal is not always possible. Tattoos are meant to be permanent, so removing them can be difficult. Few surgeons guarantee complete removal. Having said that, there are several methods of tattoo
removal which have proven effective. The degree of remaining color variations or blemishes depends upon several factors, including size, location, the individual's ability to heal, how the tattoo was applied and how long it has been in place. For example, a tattoo applied by a more experienced artist may be easier to remove since the pigment was evenly injected in the same level of the skin. New tattoos may also be more difficult to remove than old ones.
Dermatologist say they can't predict the exact degree of removal because they generally don't know which of the 100 tattoo inks available today were used. (The U.S. Food and Drug Administration currently lists tattoo pigments as "color additives," which are intended only for application to the top layer of the skin.) Consult with a tattoo removal specialist in Oklahoma.
Laser tattoo removal works by producing short pulses of intense light that pass harmlessly through the top layers of the skin to be selectively absorbed by the tattoo pigment. This laser energy causes the tattoo pigment to fragment into smaller particles that are then removed by the body's immune system. Researchers have determined which wavelengths of light to use and how to deliver the laser's output to best remove tattoo ink. You might be wondering if the laser might also remove normal skin pigment, don't worry. The laser selectively targets the pigment of the tattoo without damaging the surrounding skin. Patients can usually return to work the same day. |

Thermage® Skin Tightening |
||
| Skin is made up of two layers, the visible outer layer called the epidermis, and the deeper layer called the dermis. The main structural component of the dermis is a protein called collagen, which provides the skin its strength. As we age, the body produces less collagen resulting in wrinkles and laxity. The Thermage procedure causes the collagen in the dermal layers of the skin and its underlying tissue to tighten, thereby reducing skin laxity and wrinkles and renewing facial contours.
The Thermage procedure for Skin Tightening uses patented radiofrequency technology to create a precisely controlled zone of heating in the dermis and the underlying tissue. At the same time the epidermis is protected with continual cooling. Heating of the collagen to critical temperatures, initiates a natural biological reaction that causes the collagen to contract and thicken. This process, called denaturation, provides the initial results of tighter, smoother looking skin. In addition, the body also initiates a second response to heating within the dermis and underlying tissue. This response is part of the body's natural wound-healing response and initiates new collagen creation providing long-term tightening of the skin. The combination of these two processes, provide immediate skin tightening and long-term tightening effects. While there are a number of procedures available that affect collagen, only the Thermage procedure offers a completely non-invasive, no-downtime method to tighten loose skin. Thermage® can improve your appearance with a revolutionary non-invasive radiofrequency technology. So revolutionary, in fact, that the Thermage procedure tightens skin and renews facial contours by reshaping your skin's innermost structures. Start reshaping your future now by exploring the new world of non-invasive skin tightening. |

Thread lift |
||
| How does Threadlift work? A hollow needle is passed through the skin at predetermined areas. A barbed thread is then inserted into the skin through the needle, and the needle is removed. The threads are then positioned and anchored with the ends sutured beneath the surface. The end result is tighter skin and a younger looking face. Areas treated are: • thighs
Thread lift offers a less invasive surgery with a shorter recovery time than a traditional facelift, a Threadlifttm can help tighten skin and give the face a younger look. Learn how a Threadlifttm compares to a traditional facelift and whether or not it is right for you.

Tummy Tuck |
||
| Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, and in most cases restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer. The decision to have tummy tuck surgery in Oklahoma is extremely personal and you’ll have to decide if the benefits will achieve your goals and if the risks and potential complications are acceptable. Your plastic surgeon in Oklahoma will explain in detail the risks associated with surgery. You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure that you fully understand the procedure you will undergo and any risks or potential complications. tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program.
Although the results of a tummy tuck are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be greatly diminished by significant fluctuations in your weight. For this reason, individuals who are planning substantial weight loss or women who may be considering future pregnancies may be advised to postpone a tummy tuck.
Also, a tummy tuck cannot correct stretch marks, although these may be removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised, generally those treated areas below the belly button.
Patients can usually return to work the same day. |

Ultrasound Massage |
||
| Ultrasound treatments are administered using an electronic device. This handheld device (hooked up to a large machine) emits sound waves at a frequency level far in excess of what human hearing can detect. A gel is spread on the surface of the skin covering the area to be treated. This serves a dual role. It allows the device to move smoothly over the skin without causing any discomfort. But more importantly, it prevents air from coming between the apparatus and the skin. A tight connection maximizes the transmission of the sound waves.
The sound waves travel at different speeds, and with different effects, depending on the tissue they encounter. But the healing outcome is owed to two effects: heat generation in damaged tissue, and acoustic streaming, the latter being the more important.
Heat generation can promote healing, and ultrasound is sometimes used for this effect, but acoustic streaming causes heightened excitability in cell membranes which, in turn, maximizes two processes: the body’s healthy inflammatory response and the body’s development of needed scar tissue.
The inflammatory response is the body’s way of healing (although this process can get out of hand). Ultrasound can improve the body’s efficiency in this process. Likewise, scar tissue development can be an important part of healing an injury, and ultrasound can maximize the efficiency of this process as well, by increasing protein fibroplasia and collagen synthesis.

VIP Face & Body Sculpting |
||
| VIP Body Treatments offer many ways to shape your body through electrical stimuli into muscles causing the muscle to contract in rapid successions. These rapid contractions are not intense enough to tear the muscle, which produces lactic acid and causes soreness. However, they are strong enough contractions to tighten and firm the muscle. Benefits of VIP Body Treatments are: • Slimming and Toning Transion, Microgei and Isogei Isogei body treatments will help to alleviate skin and muscular slackness in the very first treatment. These non invasive procedures allow the muscles to be stimulated with a delicate isometric exercise, which lifts the tissue. An isometric contraction is a muscular tension without changing the length of the muscle. This method torques the muscle without consuming any energy from surrounding fat reserves. The muscle gains lift without reducing size, which is helpful when lifting breast or buttocks. | ||
