LIVING WELL area — the arms, belly, or even the bra strap. “I love this laser. The research supports an average of four inches in two weeks! And it’s completely pain free … not hot ... not cold,” Dr. Slack says. “You do 20 minutes on one side, then turn over for another 20. That’s it.” • Combination of painless radio frequency and ultrasound with Accent prime removes fat and tightens skin simultaneously in any area on the body … this is something that no other non-invasive contouring modality can offer.
Wedding days should be picture-perfect

“After all these years, I still look at my wedding photos daily. They are on so many walls in our home. It’s an important day and everyone wants to be the best version of themselves and feel their most confident,” Dr. Laura Slack says, smiling as she pulls up amazing before-and-after pictures of recent brides.
Non-surgical lifting for the face is now possible with radio-frequency accent prime treatments.
Dr. Slack is board-certified by ABFM (Family Medicine), ABIM (Geriatrics), and ABPM (American Board of Procedural Medicine) for Aesthetic and Anti-Aging. She speaks as a panelist for Alma Lasers where she educates on liposuction and facial fat transfer. She has completed advanced aesthetics training in London, New York, and Miami. Together with her St. Simon’s native husband, Dr. Slack serves the Golden Isles at Imber Medical at 1620 Frederica Road, St. Simons Island.
One of Imber’s most popular face treatment is the Accent Prime’s Ultrasound for fat removal in the lower face, jowls, and under the chin. Unlike other modalities, this can be accomplished without any incisions, pain, freezing, or swelling.
“We are a procedural clinic for those who are ready to see real results. We are constantly introducing new techniques and devices to remain at the forefront of all cutting-edge aesthetics technology. I love this field, and nothing beats that smile on a happy client’s face, especially our brides,” Dr. Slack says.
Even the staples of aesthetics, like Botox and filler treatments, are taken to a whole new level at Imber. Injectables are used for a Nefertiti lift, brow lift, facial sliming, gummy smile treatments, turning up the corners of a downturned mouth, and even softening of neck (platysmal) bands. Dr. Slack also specializes in lip filler and utilizes an advanced canula technique instead of needles for maximal comfort. Cheeks, chin, and jaw fillers are very popular. Skin resurfacing is dramatic with the use of a CO2 laser, accent prime’s pixelated plasma, or PRP to wipe away fine lines, sun damage, acne scarring, and wrinkles.
“It uses thermal energy to painlessly tighten the skin and feels like a warm stone massage with zero downtime,” says Dr. Slack.
• In-office laser liposuction with “beautifill” is every bride’s dream. “You can take fat from an area you don’t want it and put it in an area you do,” she notes. “People are always shocked to see me chatting with my clients during their lipo on our IG videos. Everyone is wide awake because I use localized numbing. The laser in the lipo wand allows for me to gently remove fat without damaging it so it maintains 90 percent bioavailability for transfer into the face, breast, or buttocks. Even skin tightening is possible with the laser. The recovery, bruising, and downtime is decreased when compared to standard lipo plus you do not have the risk or cost associated with anesthesia.” •One of Dr. Slack’s personal favorites is EMSCULPT. “This is a machine that painlessly and effortlessly contracts your muscles 20,000 times in 30 minutes while you lay down and relax. Brides love the flat stomach and toned abs,” she says. Dr. Slack’s face lights up as she explains how much these treatments have helped people. Imber offers a complementary consultation and $100 off towards any treatment for every bride and free toxin treatments for a bridal Botox or Newtox party with 10 or more guests. “We look forward to helping you get ready for your big day,” she says.
“Brides love to have a contoured jawline. It looks amazing in pictures. It is pain-free, requires no recovery or downtime, and gives dramatic results,” Dr. Slack says. Weight loss and body contouring is another area where Imber brides shine. “We have three tiers of fat loss options to fit every bride,” she says. Those include the following: • Verju is a state-of-the art device used to remove stubborn fat cells from any MARC H/A P RI L 2021
