| Acne Acne is a common condition that causes blocked pores, pimples, cysts and other lesions on the skin of the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. Although teenagers are often affected, adults of any age can suffer from acne. Acne is not life-threatening, but can lead to physical disfigurement and emotional distress. There are several effective treatment methods that improve the skin’s appearance and prevent future breakouts.CAUSES OF ACNEAcne develops when pores become clogged, either from an overproduction of oil, a buildup of bacteria or a shedding of dead skin cells. When oil, bacteria or dead skin cells build up in the hair follicle, they form a soft plug that forces the follicle wall to bulge and protrude from the skin, causing a lesion. The cause of excess oil production is unknown, but is believed to involve a combination of several factors, including hormones, bacteria, heredity and, in some cases, the use of certain medications. Contrary to popular belief, chocolate, greasy foods and dirty skin do not cause acne.In the first few months of life, some infants have acne. This is a common condition caused by exposure to maternal hormones in the womb; it clears up on its own within a few weeks or months.SYMPTOMS OF ACNEAlthough they can appear anywhere, symptoms of acne usually appear on the face, neck, shoulders, back or chest. Symptoms of acne may include the following:BlackheadsWhiteheadsCystsNodulesPustulesRednessSwellingThese symptoms can come and go, and may flare up at certain times as a result of hormonal or environmental triggers such as pregnancy, menstrual periods, high levels of humidity, using oily cosmetics or hair products, and taking certain medications. Severe cases of acne may cause scarring, which can have a damaging emotional effect on the sufferer. If acne symptoms do not respond to over-the-counter treatments, or if scarring develops as the acne clears up, a dermatologist should be consulted.ACNE TREATMENTSTreatment methods for acne aim to reduce oil production and increase the speed of skin-cell turnover to prevent new blemishes from developing. Acne treatment also focuses on reducing inflammation to help treat current symptoms. Treatment may include a combination of topical creams and ointments, and prescription medications that include antibiotics and oral contraceptives.Topical TreatmentsTopical creams and ointments applied to the affected area are often the first form of treatment used to treat acne. Over-the-counter creams and ointments, which are used to treat mild forms of acne, may contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or lactic acid as their active ingredient. Prescription topical treatments may contain higher concentrations of these active ingredients, as well as retinoic or azelaic acid.Scar TreatmentCertain procedures may be recommended to treat scarring caused by acne. They include skin fillers, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion and laser treatment. Many patients experience effective results from these types of treatments, which help to smooth the skin and remove the scars created by severe acne.It may take up to 8 weeks before results from treatment are apparent, and acne may get worse before getting better.PREVENTING ACNEAlthough acne cannot always be prevented, there are certain ways to reduce the risk of breakouts. They include the following:Avoiding heavy or oily cosmeticsRemoving makeup before going to bedUsing mild cleansersAvoiding sun exposureAvoiding constant touching of the skinPatients should also avoid picking or squeezing blemishes, and should be aware of anything that comes in contact with the affected area, because it may contain unwanted bacteria.REMODEL COLLAGEN AND CLEAR YOUR ACNE NOWRADIOFREQUENCY AND SKIN MICRONEEDLING TECHNOLOGIESWHAT IS MORPHEUS8?Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis.

| Botox & Jeuveau BOTOX® COSMETIC & JEUVEAUBOTOX® Cosmetic and Jeuveau are similar in nature. They are a prescription drug that, when injected, temporarily paralyzes muscles. It contains a purified and safe form of botulinum toxin A, which is produced by the microbe that causes botulism. Manufactured by Allergan, Inc., Botox is used to treat permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin that are formed by the continual contraction of facial muscles. In addition to its cosmetic applications, it is used to treat a number of medical problems, including excessive sweating, overactive bladder, neck spasms, crossed eyes, chronic back and jaw pain, and migraines.APPLICATIONS FOR BOTOX COSMETIC & JEUVEAUAlthough originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of eye and muscle spasms, BOTOX Cosmetic was quickly recognized for its cosmetic value. Properly placed injections of BOTOX Cosmetic block nerve impulses sent to muscles, weakening them to the point where they cannot contract, and temporarily eliminating moderately severe furrows and lines. BOTOX Cosmetic is used to treat the following:Forehead furrowsFrown linesCrow’s feetSkin bands on the neckAccording to Allergan, BOTOX Cosmetic has been “extensively researched, with approximately 2500 studies.”INJECTION PROCEDURE AND RESULTSUsing a very fine needle, BOTOX or Jeuveau is injected directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines. Receiving the injections requires no anesthetic, but some doctors choose to numb the area to be injected with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream. Results can usually be seen within a few days of treatment, and typically last up to four months, although areas that are treated on a regular basis may retain results longer. Injections should be given only by qualified medical professionals.SIDE EFFECTSInjection-site side effects are usually mild and temporary, and include the following:PainInfectionInflammationTendernessSwellingRednessBleedingBruisingNormal activities may be resumed immediately after receiving injections.CONTACT US TODAY!Interested in learning more about Botox?

| Hair Restoration Statistics suggest that hair loss affects millions of men and women in our country. If you are one of them, chances are you are looking for a solution that will meet your needs. We are proud to offer an emergent treatment that has quickly developed a proven track record of success: PRP therapy.WHAT IS PRP?PRP is platelet-rich plasma, a product that is present in the blood. Platelet-rich plasma is a nutrient-dense fluid that stimulates cellular regeneration within microenvironments like the hair follicles, joints, and also the skin. Platelets are robust cells that contain numerous growth factors, each of which is involved in certain cellular processes.Platelet-rich plasma has a long history of medicinal use related to tissue healing and regeneration. It is no surprise that this therapy has made its way into the field of hair restoration.HOW DOES PRP WORK FOR HAIR RESTORATION?The primary purpose of PRP treatment for hair loss is to stimulate activity in the hair follicles. This may prompt an active phase of hair growth in follicles that have become inactive. PRP injections into the scalp may also support the active phase of newly implanted hair follicles. This occurs through the action of various growth factors.Platelets contain:Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), which is involved in fibrin formation, blood vessel growth, and cell regeneration.Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), involved in the formation of new blood vessels.Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2) is also involved in blood vessel formation, as well as the generation of specialized cells that heal and rejuvenate.Transforming Growth-Factor-Beta (TGF-b) is involved in bone metabolism in the body as well as matrix formation between cells.Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) stimulates collagen proliferation and cell growth as well as blood vessel formation.Insulin-Like Growth Factor – (IGF) provides necessary physiological regulation in nearly every cell.Behind the scenes, PRP facilitates very sophisticated responses. On the surface, PRP can provide the results you’ve been seeking.PRP HAIR RESTORATION TREATMENTThere are two ways in which PRP may be introduced into the hair follicles of the scalp.One technique is to perform microneedling, which creates micro wounds to superficial tissue. PRP is then applied topically where it can penetrate the scalp through the induced injuries. Within a few minutes, the microchannels begin to heal, but not before stimulating nutrients can be absorbed.An additional and popular technique for PRP hair restoration is to inject platelet-rich plasma into the scalp in the area where hair is thinning. Treatment is conducted with a topical anesthetic which numbs the superficial tissue on the head. After drawing blood, we process the vial in a centrifuge, a piece of equipment that spins the blood to separate platelets from red blood cells. Injections are then administered to the appropriate area of the scalp.The introduction of platelet-rich plasma into the area of inactive hair follicles stimulates a regenerative process intended to activate dormant growth cycles. Most patients need a series of treatments to achieve optimal results.HOW LONG DO PRP INJECTIONS TAKE FOR HAIR RESTORATION?Injection treatment begins with a brief blood draw that takes less than a minute. The second step of centrifugation takes a few minutes, during which topical numbing medication sits on the scalp. The injection aspect of treatment is meticulous – injections are positioned every half-inch across the area of thinning. As precise as this step is, it usually takes less than thirty minutes from start to finish.WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE PRP PROCEDURE?In most cases, there is zero downtime after PRP hair treatment. Because injections stimulate an inflammatory cascade through which tissue is repaired, patients are advised NOT to take any kind of anti-inflammatory medication to manage comfort. Our staff will discuss appropriate medications or strategies to minimize the discomfort that may occur after injections.HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?Consistency is crucial to obtain satisfactory results from PRP hair restoration. Treatments are typically scheduled monthly for a few months. Patients can expect to begin noticing improvement within two to three months. After the initial series of treatments, injections are repeated every three to six months depending on individual response and results.The initial effect that patients may notice after treatment is that they shed fewer hairs. Over time, they can expect to see an increase in thickness and length.WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS PROCEDURE?Platelet-rich plasma is a promising hair restoration product for several reasons. First, PRP is completely organic; it is harvested from the blood. Treatment is safe and convenient, and it works. | |
| IV Therapy Treatment The stresses and hectic nature of modern life can leave our bodies on the short end of the stick, not receiving adequate amounts of all sorts of vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients. Our cells need fuel from these essentials, but poor food choices, too many hours spent at work, and lack of sleep can leave them deficient.You can take all the vitamins you want orally, but we all know that most of those are flushed right through our digestive system. We’re lucky if our body receives 40 percent of vitamins taken orally.At ReNu Med Lounge, we offer a better method for taking and retaining the vitamins, minerals, and microelements your body craves – IV Therapy. IV Therapy delivers these necessary nutrients directly into the bloodstream in a simple an quick process. At ReNu Med Lounge, our patients love our IV Therapy offerings to treat everything from warding off wintertime colds to upping energy levels to recovering from a hangover.AVAILABLE IV THERAPY OPTIONSQUENCHHydrate and combat fatigue from dehydrationGET-UP-AND-GOBurn fat, feel energized and boost your metabolismRECOVERY & PERFORMANCEDecrease recovery time & enhance your performanceIMMUNITYBoost your immune system, feel better fasterALLEVIATEMinimize bloating, irritability, abdominal discomfort and lower back painINNER BEAUTYFight acne, wrinkles and tired skin from the inside outMYERS’ COCKTAIL”Gold Standard” for overall wellnessNAD +Mental clarity, antiaging supportREBOOTEase hangover headache, nausea and dehydrationGlutathioneGlutathione is the body’s ‘master antioxidant’.It is essential for detoxification and neutralizing free radical stress.WHAT IS IV THERAPY?It’s common knowledge that Americans spend more money on the vitamins and minerals going down the toilet than being enjoyed by their bodies. Introducing them orally simply means the vitamins have to fight their way through the digestive system…and they lose.On the other hand, delivering these nutrients directly into the bloodstream is 100 percent efficient. That’s the idea behind IV Therapy at ReNu Med Lounge.IV therapy has been used for decades in hospitals to treat conditions from dehydration to nutrient-absorption disorders. The pioneer of IV vitamin therapy was Dr. John Myers, who developed the Myers Cocktail over three decades ago. Now, we offer the same treatments in our med lounge to address a variety of recovery and wellness issues.WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF IV THERAPY YOU OFFER AT RENU MED LOUNGE?We’re continually looking to expand our IV Therapy offerings, but these are the general goals of our current IV products. We can also create customized IVs, just for you.Myers Cocktail – The original IV therapy, this is the Myers Cocktail you’ve heard about.Hydration – Hydration to replenish your electrolytes and other nutrients.Energy Boost – The vitamins and minerals you need to beat that energy crisis that hits you around 2 every afternoon.Immunity – Protect yourself against that co-worker who comes to work sick.Jet Lag – The best way to recover from that 10-hour flight.Hangover – Our B vitamins, electrolytes, and hydration are better than your aunt’s “miracle” hangover cure.Recovery – After that crazy workout or 15-mile hike, your body needs electrolytes, vitamins, amino acids, and other essential nutrients.Weight Loss – This recipe boosts your metabolism, the key to losing weight.WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF IV THERAPY?Everyone needs essential vitamins and minerals, but we’re not always focused on giving them to our bodies. Diets heavy on fat, corn syrup, and preservatives tend to be thin on vitamin/mineral content. But our IV therapy at ReNu delivers the nutrients your body needs directly into the bloodstream. This truly could not be more efficient: 100 percent of the vitamins and minerals are available for your body. The antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and other supplements are absorbed quickly, and they get right to work because they’re delivered through the body’s vascular system.WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR IV THERAPY?Uh, everyone. Yes, that means you. You may think you’re getting the vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients your body needs, but reality begs to differ. That’s because it’s extremely difficult in today’s world to eat right all the time. Throw in workouts, lack of sleep, sick co-workers, and a little too much fun last night, and your body can use the direct help of IV Therapy at ReNu Med Lounge.Everyone’s needs are unique. Our IVs fall into two categories: wellness and recovery. If you’ve just returned from a business trip to Australia, you want help fighting your jet lag. Our energy or Myers Cocktail IVs could be helpful for recovery. We may not have to fight the snow in our Southern California winters, but colds and flu, or even COVID-19, are more prevalent this time of year. | |
| Laser Hair Removal COMFORTABLE, SAFE & EFFECTIVE HAIR REMOVALLaser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses pulsed laser energy to remove unwanted hair from a targeted area, while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. Common areas on which laser hair removal is performed are the chin, upper lip, chest, underarms, back, bikini line and legs.Although there are many temporary treatments, including tweezing, shaving, using depilatory creams and waxing, to remove unwanted hair, patients seeking more permanent and less irritating/painful methods are frequently good candidates for laser hair removal. Through what is a safe and usually painless procedure, hair can be removed from nearly any area of the body (the eye area is an exception because of the possibility of serious eye damage).WHAT IS DIOLAZE XL?DiolazeXL is an advanced laser hair removal procedure that safely and gently eliminates unwanted hair. DiolazeXL has one of the largest treatment spot sizes, making treatments convenient and fast. The combination of efficacy, patient comfort and speed makes DiolazeXL a leader in laser hair removal. It is powerful enough to target even the most stubborn hair, yet gentle enough with minimal treatment discomfort.HOW DOES DIOLAZE XL WORK?During laser treatment, a diode laser beam passes through the skin towards hair follicles. The penetrating energy then heats up the root of the hair, which in turn prevents future hair growth.CANDIDATES FOR LASER HAIR REMOVALBecause the laser beams used to remove hair target its melanin (pigment), the best candidates have dark hair and light skin. Conversely, those with blond, red, gray or white hair and dark skin are usually not good candidates. Recent technological advances have made laser hair removal for those with dark skin more successful, while techniques for using lasers to effectively remove light-colored hair are being investigated.BENEFITS OF LASER HAIR REMOVALThere are many benefits to having unwanted hair removed through the use of laser therapy. They include the following:Hair is precisely targetedProcedure is quickResults are permanent (for 90 percent of patients) or long-lastingFor many patients, laser hair removal is painless, although some experience minor discomfort, usually described as something like a rubber band’s snapping against the skin.LASER HAIR REMOVAL PROCEDURELaser hair removal is performed painlessly and if needed, certain target areas are numbed by a topical anesthetic. A handheld device that emits intense laser pulses is moved across the area, focusing on individual hair follicles. There are several different methods of laser hair removal, some of which combine laser impulses with radiofrequency. The appropriate method for each patient is decided in consultation with the physician administering treatment.Hair growth takes place cyclically, in three stages. The most effective laser hair removal takes place during the andogen (full-growth) stage, because the hair follicles in this stage are susceptible to laser energy. But, because all hair is not in the same stage of growth at any given time, several laser treatments, usually between one and four, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, are necessary. To some extent, the length of treatment depends on the texture of the patient’s hair, and the location from which it is being removed.HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE RECOMMENDED?Hair is reduced with each treatment and results are observed after four to six sessions. The number of sessions will differ depending on your hair color, hair type, body area, and skin tone.RECOVERY FROM LASER HAIR REMOVALSome redness, soreness or swelling may occur immediately after laser hair removal, but they almost always disappear within a few days. Cold compresses or ice packs, moisturizers, and anti-inflammatory creams may minimize discomfort. Sun exposure should be avoided as much as possible for some period of time.COMPLICATIONS OF LASER HAIR REMOVALThe most common complication of laser hair removal is the regrowth of the unwanted hair. Frequently, however, the hair that regrows is finer and lighter than the hair that was removed. Usually, regrowth can be addressed with a few additional treatment sessions. Other complications that may arise after laser hair treatment include skin irritation such as blistering and crusting; changes in pigmentation or texture of the skin; and scarring at the removal site.CONTACT US TODAY!Interested in learning more about Laser Hair Removal?

| Massage Massage therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine used to prevent and alleviate symptoms and to promote relaxation, healing and an aura of health and happiness. There are many different types of massage therapy, but all involve hands-on pressing, rubbing, and kneading the soft tissues. The massage therapist primarily manipulates the patient with trained hands and fingers, but may also at times make use of the forearms, elbows, or even the feet during treatment. Massage therapy is considered safe, simple and effective for most patients, offering many benefits and very minimal risks.While massage therapy can be very beneficial when practiced by a skilled practitioner, it can be ineffective or even dangerous if the massage therapist has not been properly trained. Patients considering massage therapy should do research prior to treatment to make sure the therapist has a state license or certification.TYPES OF MASSAGE THERAPYThere are several different types of massage therapy, each designed to target specific symptoms in the affected area. These include:Swedish massageDeep tissue massageTrigger point massageShiatsu massageBecause needs of individual patients vary, it is important to understand something about the type of massage being offered. The duration and cost of a massage therapy session is also quite variable and should always be discussed before treatment.GOALS OF MASSAGE THERAPYMassage therapy involves stimulating the soft tissues to increase blood flow and stimulate healing. Massages can be used to:Block pain signalsReduce stiffness and muscle tensionImprove breathingImprove range of motion and flexibilityLower blood pressureReduce stress and anxietyPromote circulation and eliminate toxinsSpeed up the healing processRelease serotonin and endorphinsMassage treatments on a regular basis can help patients to maintain positive results and keep symptoms under control. Beyond relieving specific symptoms, massage therapy can improve a patient’s overall quality of life by reducing stress and improving vitality.CONDITIONS TREATED WITH MASSAGE THERAPYMassage therapy has been proven effective in improving a wide range of health conditions, including:StressSleep disordersCirculatory problemsAllergiesMuscularskeletal pain, especially of the backBody aches of osteoarthritis or fibromyalgiaHeadachesDigestive disordersAsthmaAnxiety or depressionCancer-related symptomsSymptoms resulting from chemotherapy or radiationResearch studies have shown that massage therapy has been particularly effective for back pain, significantly reducing the need for painkillers.RISKS OF MASSAGE THERAPYMassage therapy is considered a very safe treatment option with minimal side effects or risks. Mild side effects may include temporary pain or discomfort, bruising due to damaged blood vessels, or localized swelling. Rarely, more serious side effects may occur, such as fever, deep vein thrombosis, or compression bone fractures. Patients who are pregnant, elderly and frail, have cancer, heart or lung problems, severe osteoporosis, or other serious medical conditions should consult with their doctors before undergoing massage therapy.CONTACT US TODAY!Interested in learning more about Massage Therapy?

| Melasma Melasma is a common skin condition in which patches of skin on the face darken. Typically, the affected areas are the cheeks, bridge of the nose, forehead or upper lip. The dark patches are often symmetrical. Melasma can occur in anyone, but is much more frequently found among women, especially women who are pregnant when it is called chloasma, and is sometimes referred to as the “pregnancy mask.” Although not a painful or dangerous problem, melasma can be very distressing emotionally because of its alteration of the appearance. Melasma is not always a permanent condition. It may disappear in a woman several months after she gives birth, but may reoccur after unprotected exposure to the sun.RISK FACTORS FOR MELASMAWhile the precise cause of melasma is unknown, certain individuals have a genetic predisposition to developing this condition and it more frequently occurs in people with brown skin. There is also a clear correlation between female hormones and melasma, since not only are pregnant women more susceptible, but so are women on birth control or hormone replacement therapy. Sun exposure makes the development of melasma more likely, so women in tropical climates are more prone to the condition.DIAGNOSIS OF MELASMAMelasma is usually diagnosed through a simple physical examination of the skin. A Wood’s lamp, which uses ultraviolet light, is used to highlight skin discolorations and direct the course of treatment.TREATMENT FOR MELASMASometimes patients may achieve symptom relief if they stop taking estrogen and progesterone, the hormones linked to the disorder. Other treatments for melasma may include:Topical skin-bleaching agentsChemical peelsTopical corticosteroidsLaser treatmentIntense pulsed light (IPL) therapyMicrodermabrasion or dermabrasionPatients with melasma should apply strong sunscreen or sunblock outdoors since sun exposure will worsen the condition.CONTACT US TODAY!Interested in learning more about melasma treatment?

| Men’s Laser Hair Removal Laser hair removal has become quite common with men today. It is a safe, effective and painless solution to getting rid of unwanted hair anywhere on the body. It is quick and men can start to see a difference in only after one treatment. It can be the ideal treatment for any man wanting to completely remove hair from a specific part of their body or to just thin out the hair from a specific area. Traditional shaving is time consuming and can lead to ingrown hairs which can be painful and unsightly. With laser hair removal, the skin is no longer exposed to the repeated trauma of shaving. Laser hair removal – its manscaping made simple.WHAT IS DIOLAZE XL?DiolazeXL is an advanced laser hair removal procedure that safely and gently eliminates unwanted hair. DiolazeXL has one of the largest treatment spot sizes, making treatments convenient and fast. The combination of efficacy, patient comfort and speed makes DiolazeXL a leader in laser hair removal. It is powerful enough to target even the most stubborn hair, yet gentle enough with minimal treatment discomfort.Laser hair removal helps athletes achieve their goals. We have bodybuilders who do not want any hair on their body because it helps enhance muscle definition. We have a lot of cyclists who do their legs and lower bodies, too. A lot of body hair can cause added chafing and irritation when combined with tight cycling kits, sweat, and long ride times in the saddle. It also makes putting on compression tights, foam rolling, and massages easier and pain-free, since the hairs won’t get caught or tugged. We also see plenty of swimmers, as they can save seconds on their swim time by having less hair. Plus, it saves any athlete loads of grooming time. There’s no need to shave and prep their bodies before a race or competition, and it eradicates any risk of cuts and nicks from getting infected in a locker room or pool.CONTACT US TODAY!Interested in learning more about Laser Hair Removal?

Platelets, which are usually associated with coagulation (clotting), are also, according to recent research, able to assist in mending and strengthening damaged tissue by increasing certain growth factors. During the normal healing process, the body uses platelets to promote new-tissue growth and repair injuries. By supplementing platelet content, the healing process is accelerated. There is ongoing research on the efficacy of PRP injections, and some medical professionals remain skeptical about their value.CONDITIONS TREATED WITH PLATELET-RICH-PLASMA INJECTIONSPlatelet-rich-plasma injections can be used to treat a wide range of orthopedic conditions, including the following:ArthritisTendonitisBursitisJoint painLigament sprains or tearsNerve inflammationPostsurgical healing from tendon or ligament repairPRP therapy is also used to promote rapid healing after nonorthopedic surgeries, including cosmetic ones.BENEFITS OF PLATELET-RICH-PLASMA INJECTIONSThere are several benefits to PRP therapy. They include the fact that the platelet-rich plasma being injected is autologous (comes from the patient), so there is no risk of cross-reactivity, immune reaction or disease transmission. It is also minimally invasive (unlike surgery), and facilitates healing (unlike corticosteroids).THE PLATELET-RICH-PLASMA-INJECTION PROCEDUREDuring the PRP-injection procedure, which usually incorporates ultrasound imaging, a small amount of blood is withdrawn from the patient. This blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate its various elements, and concentrate the platelets. The resulting plasma is up to five times more concentrated with platelets than “natural” blood. Once concentrated, the platelets are loaded, along with some of the patient’s whole blood, into a sterile syringe, and injected into the patient.The procedure is usually performed under local anesthetic in a physician’s office. A typical patient experiences little or no discomfort from the injection, but the injection site is usually inflamed and sore for about 48 hours. Taking pain medication and applying ice are recommended.Most patients require one to three PRP injections, about 4 to 6 weeks apart, in order to achieve optimal results. Occasionally, a fourth injection is necessary. Typically, by the fifth day after an injection, the patient has a significant reduction in pain, and can begin physical therapy.RISKS OF PLATELET-RICH-PLASMA INJECTIONSAlthough PRP injections are generally safe and effective, sterilization is of great importance. There is a slight chance of infection or blood clots, and the remote possibility of allergic reaction.CONTACT US TODAY!Interested in learning more about PRP?

| Peels A peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure that uses the application of different chemical solutions along with exfoliation techniques to soften and rejuvenate the skin by removing old and dead layers of skin cells. This helps to promote new growth and enhanced texture of the skin. Sometimes referred to as a chemical peel, this procedure can help to tighten and firm the skin while simultaneously exfoliating, resulting in a noticeable renewal of the skin.A chemical peel may be used to even out skin tone as well as to treat:Fine wrinklesAcne or acne scarsDryness or rough patches on the skinSun damageScars or skin damageDuring the peel procedure, chemical solutions are carefully applied to the skin to improve the texture by removing damaged outer layers. The chemicals that may be used include phenol, trichloroacetic acid and alphahydroxy acids. The combination of chemicals used on each patient may be adjusted to meet his or her particular needs.Discomfort from this treatment is usually minor and the patient may feel some mild stinging while the chemical peel is applied. After the treatment, there may be some redness on the skin, which clears up within a few days. Mild chemical may be repeated on a monthly basis, however, more intense chemical peels may require six to twelve months between treatments.CONTACT US TODAY!Interested in learning more about chemical peels?

| Varicose / Spider Vein Treatments VARICOSE VEINS FAQSVaricose veins are enlarged veins near the surface of the skin which may be troubling both cosmetically and medically. They occur most frequently in the legs, but may exist elsewhere in the body. Following are some of the questions frequently asked by patients who suffer with varicose veins.Book Your Appointment Today!WHAT CAUSES VARICOSE VEINSVaricose veins are caused by a backflow of blood in the veins due to venous insufficiency. Venous insufficiency is the diseased condition of veins no longer able to carry blood efficiently back to the heart. When blood pools in the legs, varicose veins result. Venous insufficiency is sometimes caused by deep vein thrombosis or high blood pressure inside the veins of the leg. Damaged veins may also be the result of injury, disease or surgery.WHO IS MOST AT RISK FOR VARICOSE VEINS?Risk factors for varicose veins may include a family history of this condition, obesity, pregnancy and a sedentary lifestyle. Individuals who work in professions which require a great deal of sitting or standing, like waiters, drivers, or nurses, or individuals who spend a great deal of time traveling in cars or airplanes, are at high risk. Varicose veins occur more commonly in women and individuals who smoke.WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE VARICOSE VEINS TO CREATE THE PROBLEM?Diseased veins have damaged valves and do not take blood back up to the heart efficiently. As the condition worsens, blood may start flowing in the opposite direction which is called venous reflux. Venous reflux can cause discoloration, skin breakdown, bleeding, and even ulceration. Once this happens, treatment may be more difficult. This is why it is important to intervene early in the disease processWHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF VARICOSE VEINS?Varicose veins present as swollen or bulging veins or swelling in the legs, feet or ankles. Patients may experience itching over the affected vein, and aching, heaviness or pain in the legs, particularly after sitting or standing for a long time. The skin may become scaly, dry, thinned, discolored or inflamed.APART FROM THEIR APPEARANCE, HOW ARE VARICOSE VEINS DIAGNOSED?Besides a careful physical examination for skin swelling, discoloration or breakdown, the severity of the condition may be diagnosed through ultrasound and angioplasty.ARE VARICOSE VEINS DANGEROUS?In and of themselves varicose veins are not dangerous, just unsightly and perhaps uncomfortable. They may, however be an indicator of more serious vascular disease and so should be medically evaluated.WHAT TREATMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO TREAT VARICOSE VEINS?There are several options available, depending on the severity of the condition. These options may include:Home treatments, such as elevating the legsCompression stockingsSclerotherapySurgical stripping of veinsMicrophlebectomyEndovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)Endovenous Radiofrequency AblationWHAT HAPPENS TO MY CIRCULATION WHEN THE VEINS ARE REMOVED OR CLOSED?Once the veins are collapsed and become nonfunctional, the blood flow will be naturally redirected to healthy veins and circulation will continue uninterrupted.IS THE TREATMENT OF VARICOSE VEINS OR SPIDER VEINS COVERED BY INSURANCE?If a patient has symptomatic vein disease, most insurance companies and Medicare will cover the consultation and diagnostic ultrasound examination. If the examination reveals dysfunction of major veins, further treatment by endovenous laser is also covered by all major insurance carriers and Medicare.Questions? Call UsSPIDER VEINS FAQSSpider veins, also known as telengiectasias, are a very common problem, aesthetically troubling to many people. Following are some frequently asked questions about spider veins.WHAT ARE SPIDER VEINS?Spider veins are veins in which the valves have stopped functioning properly. When the valves of a vein are working correctly, they keep blood flowing in one direction. When they become damaged, they allow blood to flow backwards and pool, causing the walls of the vein to distend and enlarge. This is called venous reflux. When smaller, more superficial veins are involved, a web of red or blue thin branches appear on the surface of the skin, usually on the legs or face. These are referred to as spider veins.WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPIDER VEINS AND VARICOSE VEINS?Spider veins, although they result from the same type of vascular malfunction as varicose veins, are much less serious. Spider veins are a superficial manifestation of the problem. When veins become varicose, their walls have thinned considerably and blood has pooled in them so that they appear as palpable dark cords on the surface of the skin.WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS FOR SPIDER VEINS?The causes of spider are not completely known, but many identifiable factors put an individual at risk. | |

Dr. Sylvia and Mari are incredibly talented, patient and so kind! Having anything done on your face can be nerve wracking but not here and not with them. I trust them completely. They took such great care of me. I did the morpheus8 and love the results! It’s absolutely worth it. I’ll be doing it again when I can! If you’re looking to get your lips done, don’t look further, Mari is incredible! I’m admitting I did my lips on a public forum because that’s how good she is. I asked for a natural look and bam, she did it. For the first time in my life I bought red lipstick and it’s all because of her talent! Love it here.

I absolutely love this place. I’ve started IV Therapy (B-12, and MIC) and I’m feeling much more energized. I’ve been to several spas, but not only is this place lovely and relaxing, the staff is amazing. Not only pleasant, but knowledgeable and credentialed. I haven’t been going long enough to post about results beyond my energy level, but I will surely revisit my review once I see results in my metabolism.
