How does EcoTone Work?

EcoTone is a quick, non-invasive laser treatment that lightly resurfaces your skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing properties. This cascade of healing promotes the generation of new, fresh tissue, thus improving the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles and reducing unwanted pigment. Settings can be easily adjusted to customize the treatment to your specific needs, even if you have darker skin.

• A special sensor fires the laser only when it's supposed to, which makes treatment easier for your doctor and safer for you.

• Two different treatment modes help your doctor blend the treatment area with surrounding skin for a more natural appearance.

• Doctors can choose between different cooling methods for maximum comfort during treatment.

How Does Ecotone CO2 Laser Work?

Fractional CO2 skin resurfacing works by creating tiny micro wounds while preserving bridges of untreated skin. Because only a fraction of the skin’s surface is treated, healing time is improved. CO2 laser can be titrated to treat a broad range of skin conditions, from those needing to repair light damage to those wanting more dramatic results.

How Many Treatments will I need?

EcoTone is a non-ablative, low down-time laser treatment that will require a series of 3-6 sessions for best results.

EcoTone CO2 Laser A more aggressive ablative CO2 laser treatment can achieve dramatic results after only 1 session. Where as a treatment performed with lighter settings for less downtime can require 2-3 sessions for optimal results.

Exosomes - A Breakthrough in Regenerative Aesthetics

We are living in an exciting era of rapid expansion in technology and capability with regards to anti-aging therapies. We no longer have to look our age, but rather we can potentially look the age we want to feel. Accomplishing this requires early intervention, prevention and maintenance. Exosomes are a cutting edge scientific biotech breakthrough for skin rejuvenation and regeneration.

What are Exosomes?

Exosomes are responsible for all cell to cell communication, bridging stem cell function with growth factors, cytokines and immune cells important for tissue repair and regeneration. In other words, Exosomes serve as “messengers” within the body, transferring information from cell to cell such as the exchange of RNA and other important proteins responsible for healing (fibroblasts, keratinocytes, immune cells, etc.).

What are the benefits of exosomes?

Exosomes improve skin quality to promote a more youthful, radiant appearance. Exosomes perform best when paired with skin tightening treatments such as microneedling, Genius RF microneedling, or LaseMD Ultra fractional laser to speed recovery and enhance results after these rejuvenating treatments.

• Reduce appearance of age related pigment

• Reduce fine lines & wrinkles

• Tighten appearance of loose skin

• Hydrate & nourish skin

• Promote a more radiant and even-toned complexion

• Speed recovery and enhance results after microneedling or laser treatments

Exosome Regenerative Complex:

Exosome Regenerative Complex contains stem cell derived lyophilized exosomes, potent growth factors, peptides, coenzymes, minerals, amino acids and vitamins. It is an intensive dual-action complex formulated as Nano particles to absorb quickly into the skin. Exosome Regenerative Complex is a patented product that is paraben-free, steroid-free, hypoallergenic, and clinically proven to rejuvenate and regenerate the skin.

In Vitro Testing:

Exosome Regenerative Complex promotes skin cell proliferation by up to 80% in a dose-dependent manner. This results in an increase in the Elastin amount of human dermal fibroblasts up to 300%.

how Do We Use Exosomes?

To enjoy the many benefits of Exosome Regenerative Complex, it is applied directly to the skin immediately after microneedling, Genius RF microneedling or LaseMD fractional laser treatments. You can expect an expedited recovery time and enhanced results of skin tightening, improved skin tone/texture, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles for an overall rejuvenating effect.

Exosome Regenerative Complex is not a drug product. It is not intended to prevent, treat, or cure diseases or medical conditions. It is not intended to be injected or delivered intravenously.

Beware of Retail Products claiming to have Exosomes

Exosomes are naturally secreted nanoparticles coming off of growing stem cells that harness potential for regenerative effects. But how are Exosomes extracted for clinical use? Benev Exosomes are manufactured using a very specific scientific process referred to as ExoSCRT that has been perfected after decades of research. After the Exosomes are carefully extracted from stem cells, they are freeze dried and then purified, thereby removing any debris or contaminants.

ExoSCRT is a patented process that utilizes a dual filtration method to purify exosomes from proliferating adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells. Not only is the ExoSCRT process very unique to Benev Exosome Regenerative Complex, they go one step further to lyophilize the purified Exosomes. What exactly does lyophilizing actually do? Exosomes are known to have regenerative capacity and biological properties. ExoSCRT aims to preserve this regenerative activity up until the very point that they can be used. In order to do that, the extracted exosomes are lyophilized and purified into a form that keeps them stable and preserves their biological activity. The product needs to be refrigerated and used within 3-4 hours of reconstitution.

So if you are purchasing a retail product that claims to contain “exosomes”, please consider how stable and effective they can possibly be. Remember that Exosomes are extremely fragile, requiring care in their extraction, purification and storage to maintain its efficacy.

Emsculpt NEO - More Muscle, Less Fat

Emsculpt NEO is a revolutionary body contouring device that simultaneously builds muscle while also eliminating fat and tightening skin. Emsculpt NEO adds Radiofrequency heat combined with HIFEM (High Intensity Focused Electro Magnetic Energy) to build 25% more muscle and 30% less fat on average after 4 sessions based on evidence from clinical trials.

We lose 3-5% of our muscle mass per decade beginning at the age of 30 years. Muscle mass is naturally impacted by decreases in growth hormone, testosterone and estrogen levels. Importantly, any loss of muscle mass will accelerate fat gain.

EMSCULPT NEO - SYNCHRONIZED RF + HIFEM

• Emsculpt NEO is the only patented Synchronized RF (Radiofrequency) heating device that works simultaneously within a magnetic field.

• Emsculpt NEO is the #1 muscle sculpting technology with newly designed protocols to combine HIFEM (High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy) with RF heating.

EMSCULPT NEO

Emsculpt NEO combines two technologies in one device.

Clinical studies have shown dramatic results after three 30-minute sessions spaced 5-10 days apart:

• 25% MORE Muscle

• 30% LESS Fat

• 5.9 cm reduction in waste circumference

• 19% improvement in Diastasis Recti

how is emsculpt neo different from emsculpt classic?

• Radiofrequency in NEO adds skin tightening, MORE fat reduction and MORE muscle building

• Fat Reduction: 30% with NEO vs 19% with Classic Emsculpt

• Muscle building: 25% with NEO vs 16% with Classic Emsculpt

• Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation): 19% with NEO vs 11% with Classic Emscupt

• Skin Tightening: new benefit with NEO vs no skin tightening benefit with Classic Emsculpt

• Waist Circumference Reduction: 5.9 cm waist circumference reduction with NEO, 4.37 cm with Classic Emsculpt

• Treatment areas: New FDA cleared areas for treatment including inner thighs, anterior and posterior thighs with NEO

• Comfort of treatment: NEO feels more comfortable with the addition of radiofrequency heat and due to changes in the muscle contraction protocol.

how does EMSCULPT neo work?

Emsculpt NEO has taken body sculpting to the next level. Not only does it build muscle, it also eliminates fat and tightens skin at the same time. Using High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy (HIFEM) to contract muscles about 20,000 times during a 30 minute session, Emsculpt NEO has been clinically shown to reduce fat on average of about 30%, while increasing the thickness of muscle by 25% after 3 sessions.

Due to the RF heating, Emsculpt NEO is the only aesthetic procedure that works out heated muscles. The muscle temperature quickly raises by several degrees. The muscles are prepared for exposure to stress similar to what a warm up activity does before any workout. In less than 4 minutes, the temperature in subcutaneous fat reaches that cause apoptosis, i.e. fat cells are permanently destroyed and slowly removed from the body.

Bypassing the brain limitations, HIFEM+ energy contracts muscles fibers in the treated area at intensities that are not achievable during voluntary workout. Extreme stress forces the muscle to adapt, resulting in muscle fiber hypertrophy (enlargement of single muscle fibers) and hyperplasia (increase number of muscle fibers).

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EMSCULPT neo?

• Improved core strength

• Improved posture

• Improved low back pain

• Can be used for rehabilitation after injury or surgery

• Improved diastasis (abdominal wall muscle separation) which commonly happens after pregnancy

• Tightened appearance of skin

• Improved Metabolism

Muscle mass improves metabolism and contributes to weight loss in several key ways:

1. Increased Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Muscle tissue is metabolically active and burns more calories at rest compared to fat tissue. This means that the more muscle mass you have, the higher your BMR, which is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions while at rest.

2. Higher Caloric Expenditure: During physical activity, muscles require more energy, resulting in a higher caloric burn. This is true for both resistance training and everyday movements, making weight management more efficient.

3. Enhanced Post-Exercise Caloric Burn: Building muscle through strength training causes your body to continue burning calories even after the workout is finished, a phenomenon known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).

4. Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Increased muscle mass improves the body’s ability to respond to insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar levels more effectively. Better insulin sensitivity reduces the likelihood of fat storage and aids in maintaining a healthy weight.

5. Fat Utilization: Having more muscle mass shifts the body’s energy utilization towards burning fat, especially during periods of calorie restriction or weight loss efforts.

6. Support for Healthy Hormone Levels: Muscle mass helps maintain balanced hormone levels, including those that regulate metabolism and appetite. This hormonal balance supports sustained weight loss and prevents metabolic slowdown.

By enhancing metabolic rate and increasing the body’s efficiency in burning calories and utilizing fat, muscle mass plays a crucial role in both weight loss and long-term weight management.

How Many Emsculpt NEO Sessions Will I Need?

4 sessions is the minimum number for best results. Although many clients will benefit more from 6-8 treatments. Sessions are spaced about 1 week apart (range from 5-10 days).

core to floor

Core Strength includes abdominal, gluteal and pelvic floor muscles. Emculpt NEO can be combined with EMSELLA to improve your Whole Core.

Core to Floor Therapy is specifically designed to combat conditions such as incontinence and abdominal muscle separation. Improving core strength can also aid in relieving low back pain.

NINE AREAS EMSCULPT NEO CAN TREAT:

• Abdomen

• Buttocks

• Biceps

• Triceps

• Front thighs

• Back Thighs

• Inner Thighs

• Side Thighs (Saddle bags)

• Calves

WHAT IS EMSCULPT NEO TREATMENT LIKE?

Emsculpt NEO feels like intense muscle contractions combined with warm heat. Your provider can titrate the intensity of the muscle contractions and heat based on individual needs and comfort levels. The HIFEM contractions are equivalent to doing 20,000 sit-ups in 30 minutes. You might have mild muscle soreness after Emsculpt NEO, but most people do not. This is because Emsculpt NEO alternates between intense contractions and tapping which helps to release lactic acid build up in the muscles caused by the intense contractions.

Emsculpt NEO is non-invasive, safe, and comfortable. For optimal results, a series of 4 treatments, 5-10 days apart is recommended. We also recommend that you drink 2 liters of water the day before and 1.5 liters of water on the day of treatment to help improve the elimination of dead fat cells through your lymphatic system. Wear loose clothing and avoid clothing with zippers or metal.

IS EMSCULPT neo RIGHT FOR ME?

It is best to schedule a consultation with our doctor to determine if you are the right candidate for treatment. Emsculpt NEO should be avoided if you have metal implants in your spine, pacemaker/defibrillator, implanted medication pumps, copper IUD, or pregnancy.

Emsculpt NEO is best suited for people who have a BMI (body mass index) of 30% or less. Since muscle weighs more than fat, Emsculpt NEO typically does not cause any significant weight loss. It is highly recommended that candidates who are seeking this body sculpting treatment to maintain a healthy diet and exercise program.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME WITH EMSCULPT neo?

There is no downtime with Emsculpt NEO. You can get back to your normal activities right away. However, since you are receiving 20K supramaximal muscle contractions in a 30 minute session, your treated muscles will benefit from rest the day before, the day of and the day after your treatment in order to focus on efficiently building muscle fibers. Excessive workout of the treated muscles can lead to muscle fatigue which will not set the most optimal conditions for successful muscle building. Cardio workout, and weight-lifting other muscle groups should be fine in conjunction with Emsculpt NEO.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS WITH EMSCULPT neo?

Clinical studies have shown that results can be seen within a month and can continue to improve for up to 3-6 months. Results remain stable for about a year without change in diet or exercise. It is recommended that you maintain a well-balanced healthy diet and routine exercise regimen.

How does Emsculpt NEO compare with Cooltone or Coolsculpting?

Emsculpt NEO is the only FDA cleared body sculpting device that combines both radiofrequency with muscle building capability using a patented HIFEM (High Intensity Focused Electro Magnetic Energy) technology. The muscle contractions with Emsculpt NEO is much more intense and powerful compared with Cooltone. The added Radiofrequency enhances both the muscle building and the fat reduction capacity of Emsculpt NEO.

Coolsculpting uses cooling to destroy fat cells. The process takes up to 3 months to see results. Potential complications of coolsculpting include temporary numbness at the treatment site and a 1% chance of Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia which can cause an unexpected, paradoxical overgrowth (hyperplasia) of fatty (adipose) tissue. Coolsculpting does not enhance muscle building.

Emsculpt NEO has no reported risk of Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia or numbness. Emsculpt NEO promotes health benefits related its muscle building such as improved metabolism and muscle strength. Building core strength also helps to relieve back pain for many people.

Award Winning Emsculpt NEO

Emsculpt NEO has won various industry awards including from best-in-class aesthetic publications such as ELLE, Glamour, Shape, InStyle, New Beauty, Shape, and AMWC.

Edge applicators

The new Emsculpt NEO Edge applicators have the largest spot size in the industry, allowing for treatment of the sides including all oblique muscles. This 30 minute treatment combines RF and HIFEM to simultaneously burn fat reduction and build muscle. The results are impressive. The EDGE applicators are quickly becoming a staff and client favorite. An EDGE treatment can be done alone or it can be done in addition to the abdominal applicators for a 360 degree coverage of the abdominal and waist areas for fat reduction.

Dermal Fillers

what are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are game changers in the field of medical aesthetics. For the last decade the choices of fillers and advancements in techniques have allowed us to reverse the effects of aging, perfect and celebrate our natural beauty, and to add finesse to our facial features. Dermal fillers made with Hyaluronic acid (HA) are designed to replace volume loss in the areas of cheeks, temple, mid and lower face, chin, jawline and lips. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide (glucose molecule) which is naturally occurring in our body as it is a building block of our connective tissues.

how do dermal fillers work?

We are fortunate to offer many HA fillers in our practice. However, not all fillers are the same and are therefore not interchangeable. Fillers have unique chemical and physical properties, and are designed to be injected into specific areas of the face. Fillers that are intended to create a lift are thicker gels, which create vertical lift. Other fillers are designed for mobile areas, such as lips. Those fillers have unique properties allowing for free and unrestricted mobility of the tissues. Fillers have different longevity based on their physical structure, mobility of the treatment area, and metabolic rate of the client. For example, fillers placed in lips have the shortest duration due to constant movements of the lips (3 to 9 months). Fillers used for cheek bone enhancement have the most longevity, up to 12-24 months.

Lip Filler

• Enhance lip shape

• Showcase Lip definition

• Plump thin lips

• Hydrate lip lines

• Promote light distribution on lips to improve depth perception and overall lip curvature.

• Correct asymmetry

Cheek Filler

• Creates lift

• Reduces prominence of the nasolabial fold

• Slims appearance of face

• Replaces lost volume

• Supports the under eye area to reduce appearance of eye hollowing

• Enhances profile

am i a good candidate for dermal filler?

This is a great question. Filler is indicated to treat volume loss of the face, for correction of asymmetry, and for diminishing fine lines and folds. Clients often wonder if there is a particular age they should be starting to think about fillers. The answer is no. We frequently treat younger clients with the purpose of beautification, such as hydrating and defining lips, chin and jawline contouring, and correction of asymmetry. Restoration treatments are applicable for more mature clients who frequently look for replenishing of volume loss, correction of folds and fine lines.

There are several contraindications for fillers based on one’s medical conditions. Some of the contraindications include history of severe allergies, pregnancy and breastfeeding, known allergy to HA filler or lidocaine, active infectious process, and being treated with blood thinners. As far as aesthetic indications, we make those determinations on a case by case basis.

whAT CAN I EXPECT DURING DERMAL FILLER TREATMENT?

Your provider will discuss with you the procedure, including goals, realistic expectations, potential complications and after care. In our practice we utilize ultrasound to avoid inadvertent arterial injection, and we use Accuvein device to avoid bruising. We also use micro cannula technique to ensure safety and accuracy, and to minimize any chance of bruising. Your comfort during this treatment is our great priority. We use various techniques to enhance your relaxation and minimize discomfort.

HA fillers are reversible by a naturally occurring enzyme called hyaluronidase which can be used to reverse HA filler in the rare case of complications of undesirable effects.

HOW DO i PREPARE FOR DERMAL FILLER BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?

Unlike many other aesthetic procedures, filler requires very little preparation. In order to minimize bruising, we recommend avoiding alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen-type medications, flaxseed and vitamin E 2-3 days prior to treatment. Please let us know if you are recovering from infections, have been recently vaccinated or scheduled for vaccination in the next 2 weeks, and if you EVER had a history of cold sores.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER DERMAL FILLER TREATMENT?

The exciting aspect about dermal fillers is that the results will become apparent immediately. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions.

Laser Hair Removal - Why the Type of Laser Matters

Tired of shaving or waxing?

Want a more effective and long-lasting solution for hair removal? Laser Hair Removal permanently removes hair by destroying the hair follicles, saving time and the hassles associated with other methods of hair removal.

How many sessions will I need? Typically 5-6 sessions (this varies from person to person). You can expect 80-90% reduction of hair growth after 6 sessions.

Is it painful? Laser Hair removal with Clarity II is more comfortable than other lasers because it has continuous temperature sensing to prevent over-heating. There is also built-in cryogen that cools the skin during the laser treatment. No numbing medication is required.

What do I need to do to prepare? Your skin should be clean & well-shaven before your laser hair removal appointment.

Is there any downtime? There is minimal down-time. We will provide detailed instructions on before and after care for Laser Hair Removal.

How much does Laser Hair Removal Cost? Depending on the area, costs can vary. Please review our booking link for more information about pricing. Look under the tab labeled “Hair Removal”: Booking/Pricing link

what is the best type of device for laser hair removal?

755nm is the Gold Standard for laser hair removal. It has been clinically shown to be the most effective wavelength to target pigment contained in hair follicles to permanently destroy them. But are all devices with 755 nm wavelength created equally? Well, ask yourself if a Honda Civic has the same horse power and speed that a Ferrari does. The type of car engine determines how a car performs on the road. Consider Clarity II to be the Ferrari of Laser Hair Removal devices. Clarity II has up to 100 Joules of power, more powerful than other devices on the market.

What does more power mean & what are the benefits of clarity II?

• Two times faster treatments

• Fewer sessions required for effective permanent removal of hair

• Temperature sensing for continuous real-time skin temperature feedback

• Built-in Cryogen (cold air) to allow for more comfortable treatments

• Dual wavelength 755/1064 nm to increase safety for treating different skin types
  
  

what are the different types of hair removal and how effective are they?

There are many ways to remove unwanted hair. Shaving, hair removal creams, waxing, and epilators are temporary ways to remove hair. Each has their own disadvantages potentially leading to infection, ingrown hair, skin irritation, and even hyper-pigmentation (darkening) of skin. Laser hair removal permanently removes hair by destroying the hair follicles, saving time and the hassles associated with other methods of hair removal.

What’s the difference between IPL, DIODE and laser?

Laser is an acronym for “Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation”. Lasers have a single wavelength. Whereas IPL stands for “Intense Pulse Light”, and is a collection of very bright lights with multiple wavelengths. IPL is only safe for lighter skin types, but should not be used for people with darker skin tones due to it’s higher risk for burns. IPL is painful, thus requiring gel and numbing cream. IPL is not nearly as effective for hair reduction compared to lasers. Diode uses semiconductor technology that produces coherent projection of light in the visible to infrared range. Diode uses a light beam with a narrow spectrum to target specific chromophores in the skin. Diode is also painful and less effective than lasers for hair removal.

Why choose Clarity II?

When considering where to get Laser Hair Removal, it pays to do your homework. Compare apples to apples. IPL is not a laser, and it is not safe to use for individuals with darker skin due to the higher risk of hyper-pigmentation and burns. Some laser hair removal devices are considered painless, but may require 12 or more sessions. Clarity II is a high-powered 755/1064 nm with two different wavelengths to allow for flexibility in safely treating a broad range of skin types.

how many laser hair removal sessions will i need?

Hair growth has different stages. Lasers cannot effectively destroy a follicle in it’s dormant stage. Therefore treatment sessions will be spaced 6-8 weeks apart. It typically takes 5-6 sessions for effective Laser Hair Removal with Clarity II, but this varies from person to person based on their skin type, color and thickness of hair, and any associated hormonal imbalances or medical problems. At Rejuve Medspa, all clients seeking Laser Hair Removal will be assessed by a qualified medical doctor prior to treatment.

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful with Clarity II?

Clarity II has continuous temperature sensing to avoid over-heating during the treatment. It also has built-in cryogen to provide cold air during the treatment to help reduce any pain. Clarity II Laser Hair Removal is much less painful than IPL or Diode. Therefore, numbing medication is not required.

is there any downtime after laser hair removal?

There is minimal downtime associated with Laser Hair Removal. It is common to have mild swelling and redness around the hair follicles immediately after treatment, but this quickly resolves. You will be provided with detailed aftercare instructions following your Laser Hair Removal treatment at Rejuve Medspa.

What should I do to prepare for Laser Hair removal?

You will want to avoid tanning. Tanned skin adds more pigment to your skin, making you more prone to burns during the Laser Hair Removal treatment. Clean, well-shaven skin is advised prior to treatment.

Wrinkle Prevention with Botox or Dyport - What Else Can It Do?

Most people know that Botox/Dysport can help relax muscles, thereby preventing wrinkles such as frown lines, smile or laugh lines, “crow’s feet” or eye furrows, and forehead wrinkles. But did you know that Botox/Dysport can also be used to contour the face, treat TMJ or teeth grinding, or correct uneven facial features. Botox/Dysport can even treat excessive sweating and reduce pore size, thereby controlling acne. Some people also use Botox to help control migraine headaches.

WHAT IS A NEUROMODULATOR (BOTOX, DYSPORT)?

Botox is the “Kleenex” of neuromodulators. In other words, when we think of Botox, some of us don’t realize there are more than one of its kind. Neuromodulators are the family of onabotulinum toxin A proteins, which temporarily relax muscles. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau are four neuromodulators currently approved by the FDA in the United States.

When making facial expressions, lines form on your face as muscle under the skin contract. Each smile, frown, or squint you make contributes to the wrinkles that appear on your face. By temporarily relaxing muscles, neuromodulators soften facial creases and undesirable lines that form over time. Left untreated, some of these facial lines may leave you with unintentional worried or angry expressions.

what is the difference between botox & dysport?

Both Botox and Dysport contain Botulinum toxin Type A (BoNT-A). Botox is manufactured by Allergan, while Dysport is manufactured by Galderma. All BoNT-A products have the same size and weight of active neurotoxin. However, Botox and Dysport have different accessory protein complex components. Dysport is known to have a faster onset of action. 30% of patients have some response to Dysport within 24 hours, 73.3% have response within 48 hours, and 86.7% have response within 72 hours. However, the full effect of either Dysport or Botox will be apparent after 2 full weeks.

For most people, Botox and Dysport lasts for about 3 months. For many patients, Dysport also has a longer duration of action compared with Botox, sometimes up to 4-5 months. Results will vary depending on your individual muscle size, strength, and activity, among other factors.

WHAT ELSE CAN botox or dysport TREAT BESIDES WRINKLES?

• Gummy smile - showing too much gums when smiling can be alleviated by relaxing the muscles that elevate when you smile.

• TMJ - teeth grinding or clenching causing jaw soreness can be improved by relaxing the masseter muscles that help with chewing.

• Uneven facial expressions - stronger muscles causing uneven facial expressions can be relaxed to create symmetry.

• Facial contouring - muscles tend to atrophy (shrink) after repeat dosing of neuromodulators. Thus jawline slimming can be achieved after treating the masseter muscles that help control chewing.

• Acne - by reducing pore size and sebum (oil) production, there is improvement of acne breakouts.

• Excessive sweating - by relaxing the sweat glands, there is less sweat production.

• Hair restoration - by relaxing the ciliary muscles that are attached to hair follicles, there is improved blood flow. Improved blood flow to the scalp allows for better nutrient (growth factor) supply to the hair follicles. One study showed 8 of 10 people treated with Botox for male pattern baldness had good to excellent results: "A Pilot Study to Evaluate Effectiveness of Botulinum Toxin in Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia in Males"

WHAT TO EXPECT with botox or dysport treatment?

Reducing the use of facial muscles with a neuromodulator can help smooth the appearance of facial expression lines for 3 to 4 months. Duration varies between individuals and may be affected by your metabolic rate.

During consultation, your provider at Rejuve Medspa will discuss your medical history, observe animation of your facial muscles, and develop your treatment plan. After marking targeted muscles with brow pencil, you will be injected with Botox or Dysport using a very small gauge needle. Due to the proper technique and fine size of the needle, the discomfort is minimal. You may have slight redness at the injection site, which disappears in less than an hour after treatment.

IS THIS botox or dysport RIGHT FOR ME?

Botox Cosmetic is FDA approved for adults for temporality improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, forehead and lines around the eyes known as crow’s feet. Off label use includes correction of “gummy smile”, lip lines known as “smoker’s lines”, wrinkling in the area of chin, and injection in masseter (muscle involved in chewing) for the purposes of slimming effect as well as relief of clenching and teeth grinding.

This treatment is not recommended for individuals who have infection at the proposed injection site, during pregnancy or lactation, anyone with known hypersensitivity, or in presence of certain neurological diseases. 

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME with botox or dysport?

Besides the possibility of mild redness at the injection site lasting less than an hour, this procedure is considered to have no downtime. We recommend abstaining from massaging the area, lying down flat and avoiding vigorous physical activity for about 4 hours after the treatment to prevent migration of the product from strategically injected areas.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT RESULTS with botox or dysport?

While the effects of an injection are not immediately apparent, results are visible after a few days. However, the full effect takes 14 days before you appreciate the final outcome.

WHEN SHOULD I FOLLOW UP?

FDA treatment recommended doses come in ranges. If you are a new client, we will start you on the lower end of the therapeutic range and will reassess in two weeks if you would require additional Botox enhancement. Once you are pleased with your outcome, no follow up is needed. However, we will be delighted to meet with you for any questions or concerns.

emsculpt plus exilis - what are the benefits?

EMSCULPT is a unique device that uses High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy to build muscle AND eliminate fat at the same time. It’s like doing 20,000 sit-ups in 30 minutes. On average, you can achieve 19% in abdominal fat reduction and 16% increase in muscle after 4 treatments.

EXILIS combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to burn fat and tighten skin. The advantage of EXILIS is that it can target certain areas where EMSCULPT cannot reach, like the love handles and bra rolls. EXILIS can be customized to burn fat, tighten skin, or both.

Why combine EMSCULPT and EXILIS?

Combining EMSCULPT and EXILIS can produce a greater level of fat reduction and muscle building than either EMSCULPT or EXILIS alone. EXILIS can also treat areas that EMSCULPT cannot such as the inner thighs, love handles and bra rolls. We can customize your treatment depending on your area(s) of concern. Common areas for combination treatment include abdomen/flank, arms (biceps & triceps), and thighs.

What can I expect with emsculpt & exilis treatment?

EMSCULPT feels like intense muscle contractions. Your provider can titrate the intensity of the muscle contractions based on individual needs and comfort levels. The HIFEM contractions are equivalent to doing 20,000 sit-ups in 30 minutes. You might have mild muscle soreness after EMSCULPT, but most people do not. This is because EMSCULPT alternates between intense contractions and tapping which helps to release lactic acid build up in the muscles caused by the intense contractions.

EXILIS feels like a hot stone massage. Controlled heating and cooling ensure that energy is delivered to the various depths in the tissue. Volumetric heating disrupts old collagen fibers and initiates the process of new collagen formation resulting in firmer and smoother skin. Some people might experience mild skin redness, swelling, tenderness or dryness, but this is temporary.

Both treatments are non-invasive, safe, and comfortable. For optimal results, a series of 4 treatments 1 week apart is recommended. We also recommend that you drink 2 liters of water the day before and 1.5 liters of water on the day of treatment to help improve the elimination of dead fat cells through your lymphatic system. Wear loose clothing and avoid clothing with zippers or metal.

Is the EMSCULPT/EXILIS combo treatment right for me?

It’s best to schedule a consultation with our doctor or nurse practitioner to determine if you are the right candidate for treatment. EMSCULPT and EXILIS should be avoided if you have metal implants in your spine, pacemaker/defibrillator, implanted medication pumps, copper IUD, or pregnancy.

Is there any downtime with emsculpt or exilis?

There is no downtime with either EMSCULPT or EXILIS. You can get back to your normal activities right away.

When can I expect to see results with emscupt & exilis?

Results can vary from person to person. In general, it takes about 1 month to notice results. Results can continue to improve for 3 months and tends to remain stable for about 1 year. We recommend a healthy balanced diet and regular exercise to help maintain the muscle and keep off the fat.

When should I follow up?

It is a good idea to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine. We are here to answer your questions any time. Maintenance treatments are recommended quarterly (1 treatment every 3 months).
