The drama on Bravo’s Summer House may be heating up, but thanks to Airsculpt, star Danielle Olivera is ready for higher temperatures. After years of covering up and dealing with insecurity over her upper arms, she’s going sleeveless for the first time. And with no time for time off, a show to be in and a company to run, Danielle and Airsculpt were a match made in heaven.
“The results just keep getting better and better,” she says. We sat down with Danielle to get all the details on the minimally invasive treatment that has her more than happy to bare her arms.
Why Choose Airsculpt?
A minimally invasive fat removal treatment with no needle, no scalpel, and no stitches, Airsculpt is precision-based and offers several weeks of increased benefits post-treatment.
“I felt that the Airsculpt team and Dr. Rollins, who performed my procedure, really wanted to understand why I wanted this done,” Danielle Olivera explains. “While these treatments are inherently cosmetic, I think there’s a significant level of psychological benefit you can get from being able to look in the mirror and feel immediately confident in yourself. And I just was not confident. No matter how many people told me my arms looked fine, they didn’t look fine to me.”
Danielle explains that the discomfort with her arms had hit a breaking point before meeting with Airsculpt. “This is an area that no matter how hard I tried, I could not change it,” she says. “No amount of working out or dieting was helping me feel better about my arms or making a difference in how they looked.”
Choosing to take the reigns on her self-confidence and image, Airsculpt offered Danielle a way to make a change without sacrificing time to a long recovery. And it happened just in time for summer.
Summer House Heats Up, Literally
Running a business and being a star on Bravo’s Summer House means keeping a pretty tight schedule. “I was actually fully working again like a day later,” Danielle says. “I was in disbelief that it was over so quickly.”
And as the temperatures continue to rise and summer officially gets underway, she’s finally comfortable wearing what she wants to.
“It’s so freeing to not have to think about it,” she says. “That insecurity doesn’t take up so much memory space, it doesn’t impact me getting dressed the way it used to. I can have fun and actually put my best foot forward with fashion.”
While the procedure itself was simple and painless, she was a bit worried about the reaction she might get. Intent on helping change the narrative around women and cosmetic treatment, Danielle sees it as an opportunity.
“Being on reality TV, I’m very cognizant of the way we talked about women in the ’90s,” Danielle says. “You would see tabloids calling women the worst things because they got Botox, and obviously a man wrote that, right? But you want to push back against that stigma and say, ‘Why is that bad news?’ Why is it bad that a woman has chosen to have treatments and procedures instead of saying ‘More power to her!'”
The Best Is Yet to Come
“A big reason why I chose Airsculpt is because I didn’t feel that the goal was to look younger and younger,” Danielle says. “I feel a lot of pressure to continue to be younger these days, but this was explicitly about feeling comfortable in the body you already have. I didn’t want to change myself or look younger. I wanted to be comfortable.”
And just one treatment was all it took for Airsculpt to help her reach that comfort. Over the next few weeks, with minor swelling decreasing and inflammation disappearing, her results will continue to improve.
“I just keep seeing better and better results,” she says. “My relationship with my mirror has completely changed. I’m just so much more confident in what I’m seeing.”
