glowing skin with lasemd ultra

Lutronic LaseMD ULTRA is a low-downtime laser that resurfaces the skin, giving it brighter tone and improved texture. Treatments can be customized for your particular needs and schedule. ULTRA can be used anywhere on the body for treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, freckles, sun spots, non-cancerous pigmented lesions, sun damage, and even Melasma.

Lutronic ULTRA is the next generation thulium laser (improved over LaseMD). It has 20 watts of power (as opposed to LaseMD which as 5 watts of power). Therefore, treatments with ULTRA are faster and can be titrated to a more powerful strength, giving improved results.

what are the benefits of Lutronic LasemD ultra Laser?

Glowing skin with improved tone and texture for a smoother and brighter complexion is what patients rave about.

• Improved appearance of scars

• Reduce pigment and sun damage for brighter appearance of skin

• Can be used on skin anywhere on the face/body

• Low downtime

• Safe for all skin types

• Safe for use all year round

how does LaseMD ultra work?

• ULTRA is a 1927 nm wavelength laser which resurfaces the skin in the epidermis and dermis.

• ULTRA targets water instead of pigment, resulting in a more even treatment. It is less likely to cause unintentional burns than IPL which targets pigment. Thus it is safe for all skin types.

• ULTRA causes non-ablative, microscopic injuries which stimulates new collagen production, and has a fast recovery period.

What is the Ultra treatment like?

Patients can expect mild redness after the treatment, but you look great! You don’t have to worry about taking time off from work or hiding at home for an extended recovery time. You can wear 100% tinted mineral sunscreen right away to reduce the appearance of redness - our favorite is EltaMD UV Elements.

• Your provider at Rejuve Medspa may apply numbing cream prior to treatment depending on the settings and goals for your treatment. For the “Glo and Go” treatment, no numbing medication is required.

• Patients describe the Ultra treatment as a warm, tingling sensation which may vary. The treatment time may range from 10-20 minutes or longer depending on how much area is being treated.

• Immediately following the treatment, you will notice some redness which will lessen over the next day or so.

• The following 5-6 days, your skin will have a dry, sandpaper-like texture. This is normal and will resolve as your skin exfoliates, revealing fresher, clearer skin.

Clarity II Laser with Ultra Laser

Clarity II can be pared with LaseMD Ultra Laser for enhanced reduction of unwanted pigment, resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion.

HEALITE with Ultra Laser

Although the healing time with the Ultra Laser is very quick, HEALITE can further speed recovery and enhance collagen stimulation to improve overall results.

Exosomes with Ultra Laser

Exosome Regenerative Complex promotes skin cell proliferation by up to 80%, resulting in an increase in the Elastin amount of human dermal fibroblasts up to 300%. The Ultra Laser creates tiny micro channels on the skin allowing for the absorption of Exosomes to both speed recovery and boost the rejuvenating benefits of this laser treatment.

What is Sculptra and Why Choose Sculptra Over Dermal Filler?

What is Sculptra vs dermal filler?

What’s difference between dermal fillers and Scupltra? Sculptra is an injectable biostimulator made of of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Sculptra has a liquid consistency and is injected underneath the skin. Once injected, Sculptra incorporates into the tissues and stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen.

On the other hand, dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic acid designed to hold its shape in the form of a gel-like substance. Dermal fillers do not stimulate collagen production, but rather are meant to temporarily replace missing volume. The effects of dermal filler are apparent immediately. Whereas the effects of Sculptra happens gradually since it takes time for the body to build collagen.

Both Dermal filler and Sculptra are designed to address lost volume, fine lines, folds and wrinkles. Due to the aging process, environmental stressors, and our genetic predisposition, we suffer from loss of collagen at a rate of about 1% annually after the age of 20. Loss of collagen leads to thinning of skin which results in the formation of wrinkles and folds. Collagen is a fibrous protein in the deep dermal layer that gives our skin structural support and helps to maintain shape, moisture, and elasticity of the skin. A healthy supply of collagen is the source of smooth skin and a youthful appearance.

How does sculptra work?

SCULPTRA (PLLA) is a bio-stimulating treatment. Sculptra works by addressing the underlying cause of aging skin from loss of collagen. Once injected in the face (or buttocks), Sculptra stimulates the natural growth of new collagen. This leads to restoration of facial volume over time and a dramatic improvement of the skin texture. Results are natural and become noticeable after 2-4 sessions (based on individual concerns). The effects of Sculptra can last up to 25 months.

am i a good candidate for sculptra?

Good candidates for Sculptra should have healthy immune systems and no history of keloid scars. Also, you should not have a medical condition that requires you to take blood thinners.

What to expect with Sculptra treatment?

Your provider at Rejuve Medspa will ensure your treatment will be performed under sterile precautions with the utmost care and comfort using numbing agents and distracting tools. Sculptra is injected in the face under ultrasound guidance (to mitigate potential complications) utilizing microcannula. We make an initial puncture with the trocar needle and use this opening to glide a blunt cannula (similar to IV catheter) to inject the product to the desired areas. After the treatment the client will need to massage the area for five minutes, five times a day for five days. This step is crucial so that biostimulating microparticles get evenly distributed and start stimulating collagen.

How do I prepare for Sculptra treatment?

We recommend staying well hydrated with ideally 8 glasses of water in a 24 hour hour period prior to the day of treatment. Please, avoid wearing makeup the day  of the treatment. We will cleanse your skin thoroughly prior to the procedure to prevent infection.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME with Sculptra?

You can expect to have mild soreness and swelling at the injection sites for about 1 week until the Sculptra incorporates into the tissues. Bruising can sometimes occur, but the risk is minimized with the use of ultrasound to avoid vessels and with the use of blunt-tip microcannulas for injection.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT RESULTS with sculptra?

Subtle results can typically be seen within a month of Sculptra injection. These results will continue to build as new collagen can take up to 6 months to form.

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.

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.

Can Relaxing Your Frown Lines Elevate Your Mood?

Feeling upset, worried, depressed, or experiencing pain causes the forehead muscles between the eyebrows and above your nose to contract. This area is known as the “Glabella”. So can relaxing the glabella muscles improve your mood? A growing body of research supports this theory.

Botox and Dysport are two popular Neuromodulators which relax muscles to prevent frown lines from forming. As a result, the feedback loop which tells your brain that you are angry, sad, anxious or worried are partially inhibited. Research supports the evidence that relaxing the muscles which are triggered by your negative emotions can help elevate your mood:

Research article: "Emotional proprioception: Treatment of depression with afferent facial feedback"

Research article: "The Use of Botulinum Toxin for Treatment of Depression"

Research article: Shrink that frown! Botulinum toxin therapy is lifting the face of psychiatry"

Research article: Depression--An emerging indication for botulinum toxin treatment"

Research article: "Botulinum toxin for the treatment of major depressive disorder"

It’s no wonder why treating frown lines with Botox or Dysport is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments today. Not only can it cause a positive change in your mood and affect, it can also prevent permanent wrinkles or deep folds from forming.

What’s the difference between Botox and 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.

how much botox or dysport will i need?

Every person responds differently to Botox and Dysport depending on the size, activity and strength of their muscles, and their metabolism. Each treatment cycle may vary based on metabolic rates, stress and activity levels. Physically active individuals tend to have shorter duration due to higher metabolic rates. Your Provider at Rejuve Medspa will customize your treatment based on your aesthetic goals.

Brotox - Botox for men

what about guys?

Historically, neuromodulators such as Botox or Dysport were considered taboo in the guy’s world. The paradigm has shifted over the last decade as the desire to look good and preserve a youthful appearance gained traction over stigma and the hesitancy of being judged. Men aren't immune to the aging process. Botox and Dysport have become popular among men because wrinkles make them appear older. A growing need to remain competitive in today’s society (job market, social media, etc.) is the driving force behind Brotox popularity.

Brotox is a nickname for the injectable neuromodulator procedure when it is referred to male clients.  Botox and Dysport temporarily relax the muscles that lead to formation of wrinkles. Skin elasticity is reduced due to loss of collagen and elastin in the skin. This causes fine lines and wrinkles to eventually become permanent deep folds. That is why early treatment to prevent wrinkles is important.

How is Botox or Dysport different for men?

While men are interested in reversing the clock and preventing wrinkles, their aesthetic goals may be different from women. Many men prefer to preserve some of their movements. Your aesthetic injector will talk to you about the balance of softening your wrinkles and maintaining a masculine look.

what areas can botox or dysport treat?

Frown lines are the most popular area requested to be treated by a male clients. After all, being grumpy does not define masculinity. Other popular areas include the forehead lines and the wrinkles around the eyes, known as the “crow’s feet”. We would be happy to customize your treatment according to your outcome expectations.

WHAT ELSE CAN botox and 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’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Both Botox and Dysport contain Botulinum toxin Type A (BoNT-A). Botox is manufactured by Allergan, while Dysport is manufactured by Galderma.

Every person responds differently to Botox and Dysport depending on the size, activity and strength of their muscles, and their metabolism. Each treatment cycle may vary based on metabolic rates, stress and activity levels. Physically active individuals tend to have shorter duration due to higher metabolic rates. The needle used to inject Botox or Dysport is very small, and the procedure is very well tolerated. There is no downtime.

EMSCULPT - BUILD MUSCLE AND BURN FAT

EMSCULPT has taken body sculpting to the next level. Not only does it build muscle, it also eliminates fat at the same time. Using High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy (HIFEM) to contract muscles about 20,000 times during a 30 minute session, EMSCULPT has been clinically shown to reduce fat on average of about 19%, while increasing the thickness of muscle by 16% after 4 sessions.

Emsculpt NEO Has enhanced results compared to Emsculpt Classic.

what are the health benefits of emsculpt?

• 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.

what areas can be treated with emsculpt?

• Abdomen

• Arm (Biceps and Triceps)

• Thighs (Hamstrings and Quadriceps)

• Legs (Calves)

• Buttocks

what is emsculpt treatment like?

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.

EMSCULPT is non-invasive, safe, and comfortable. For optimal results, a series of 4 treatments – 2 treatments per week 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 right for me?

It is best to schedule a consultation with our doctor or nurse practitioner to determine if you are the right candidate for treatment. EMSCULPT 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?

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

When can I expect to see results with emsculpt?

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.

HEALITE II- how the power of light can heal

Well… you’re probably wondering, what is HEALITE II? To put it simply, it’s a pleasant, relaxing skin treatment that uses light emitting diodes (LEDs) to deliver precise wavelengths of near infrared light for promoting skin rejuvenation, treating acne, healing superficial skin wounds, relieving pain, speeding recovery and aesthetic results of procedures. It’s painless, completely non-invasive, and safe for all skin types.

HEALITE II - IS FDA CLEARED

For temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis and muscle spasm; relieving stiffness; promoting the relaxation of muscle tissue and temporarily increase local blood circulation where applied.

what’s the science behind healite II?

HEALITE II works by boosting your body’s natural regenerative and healing process. 830 nm penetrates deeper than other wavelengths and has a more powerful ability to recruit the main wound healing cells including Keratinocytes, Fibroblasts, Myoblasts, Osteoblasts, Mast cells, Macrophages, and Neutrophils. Increased Fibroblasts promote Collagen and Elastin formation; Neutrophils fight against infection, and Mast cells recruit more wound healing cells to the area.

5 Major Benefits Of Healite II LED Light Therapy Treatment

1. Promotes Skin Rejuvenation

Every year after the age of 20 we lose about 1% of collagen. With HEALITE II LED Light Therapy we can wind back the clock and regain the much-desired glow. HEALITE II LED Light Therapy has been scientifically proven to build collagen and elastin by stimulating deeper skin cell layers.

2. Enhances Your Body’s Natural Cellular Recovery

HEALITE II LED Light Therapy enhances your body’s natural cellular recovery. But you are probably thinking what does this actually mean? It improves body’s healing time, it aids in pain relief, treats active acne, improves blood flow circulation and promotes skin rejuvenation.

3. Helps Treat Various Skin Conditions & Boosts Immune Function

The healing benefits of HEALITE II LED Light Therapy can be used to help improve inflammatory skin conditions such as dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. The LED light stimulates deep skin cells and boosts your immune function. It helps improve the healing time of wounds and compromised skin. It’s a great stand alone treatment, but also boosts the effects and healing time after procedures – including Genius RF microneedling, PRFM platelet injection, LaseMD ULTRA fractional skin resurfacing, Microdermabrasion and even Chemical Peels.

4. Promotes Hair Growth

HEALITE II LED Light Therapy improves blood flow and boosts the ATP (energy) production at the cellular level to promote hair growth. This works well in combination with Keralase.

5. Helps Improve Acne And Breakouts

HEALITE II LED Light Therapy has been shown to reduce the appearance of scars, reduce redness and reduces further breakouts. It improves collagen within your skin, improves your bodies healing time and kills the acne causing bacteria found in our skin.

What makes HEALITE special and different from other led devices?

Optical Lens Array Technology (OLAT ™ ) uses collimation optics which more effectively harness and deliver the healing energy of 1800 new generation LEDs to achieve concentrated therapeutic photon intensities in the cells and organelles of the target tissue, thus maximizing the therapeutic outcome. OLAT™ improves the efficiency and enhances the efficacy of LED phototherapy.

Soothing 830 nm light… Deep penetrating 830 nm near-infrared light targets dermal skin cells to raise their action potential and photo-stimulate dermal microcirculation for the temporary relief of minor discomfort of muscles and joints.
