What is keralase and Why Is It Better Than Platelets For Hair Loss?

Keralase is a revolutionary new treatment for hair loss using Lutronic Ultra laser and KeraFactor. KeraFactor serum has proprietary biometric synthetic versions of growth factors and proteins which promote hair growth. Ultra alone showed significant improvements in scalp revitalization.

How is Keralase treatment performed?

Lutronic Ultra laser creates tiny “microchannels” in the scalp which help to increase the absorption of KeraFactor. KeraFactor is then applied and massaged into the scalp. There is minimal pain, no bleeding, and no downtime. No needles or shots are required.

Why is KeraFactor better than Platelets?

KeraFactor has highly concentrated levels of growth hormones and proteins that specifically boost hair growth and affects all 4 stages of the hair life cycle. Kerafactor is coated with nano-liposomes which aid its absorption, allowing for enhanced delivery of growth hormones directly to the hair follicles. Each nano-liposome contains thousands of each specific growth factor.

Platelets have variable amounts of growth factors depending on the genetics and health conditions of the person. Platelets also contain growth factors that actually inhibit hair growth. Kerafactor does not require a blood draw, nor does it require multiple injections into the scalp. Even after numbing medication, the injections can be painful and lead to bruising or hematomas.

What are the results of Keralase?

• Revitalized hair & increased thickness

• Results can vary from person to person, but clinical studies have shown about 38% increase in hair growth

• 64% - 113% increase in hair diameter

What should I do to prepare for the Keralase Treatment?

• Wash hair the night before the treatment. Hair must be clean and free of hair products.

• Remain out of the sun or use sun protection (SPF or hat) for a week before and after each treatment.

• After the treatment you may notice hairs in the telogen phase (resting phase) may be shed by any slight trauma due to laser or microneedling.

• Once the hair and scalp dry naturally patient can resume normal activities including washing drying and/or hair products.

What are the Stages of Hair Growth?

The scalp has about 100,000 hair follicles. It can be normal to lose about 100 hairs daily. The growth phase, or anagen phase, lasts an average of 3-5 years. Once the cycle is complete, it restarts and a new strand of hair grows.

What are common reversable causes of hair loss?

For Keralase to be successful, you should be the right candidate. So making sure that you don’t have these following untreated conditions is important.

• Anemia

• Thyroid disorders

• Elevated Testosterone levels

• Decreased Estrogen levels (post-menopause)

• Cushing’s Syndrome

• Vit B12 and Iron deficiency

• Heavy metal toxicity (mercury, arsenic)

• Medications (Zoloft, Prozac, etc)

Who can benefit from Keralase?

• People with androgenic hair loss (male pattern baldness) can benefit from early prevention and treatment of hair loss.

• Female pattern baldness (post-menopausal)

What conditions do not respond well to treatment with Keralase?

• Scarring alopecia

• Non-scarring alopecia

• Alopecia Areata (patchy and/or generalized balding, thinning hair with abrupt bare patches)

What other treatments should I consider in addition to Keralase?

• Minoxidil

  • Minoxidil improves the blood flow to the scalp, thereby improving the nutrient supply to the hair follicles.

• Finasteride (for men)

  • Finasteride works by decreasing the amount of a natural body hormone (DHT). Decreasing the amount of DHT leads to increased hair regrowth and slower hair loss. Hair growth on other parts of the body is not affected by finasteride.

• Progesterone (for women)

  • After menopause, women have lower levels of Progesterone. Supplementation of progesterone can help keep your hair in the growing (anagen) phase. This hormone can help your hair stay on your head longer and may even help your hair grow faster.

• KeraFactor Shampoo and Conditioner

  • Stimulates the scalp for better absorption of Kerafactor Scalp Stimulating Solution.

• KeraFactor Scalp Stimulating Solution

  • Renews and revitalizes the scalp using proprietary KeraFactor Peptide Complex.

• LaserCap - LLLT (Low Level Light Therapy)

  • Red and Infrared light has been clinically shown to boost the ATP (energy) levels in the cells and promotes hair growth.

• Nutrafol

  • Contains natural ingredients clinically shown to improve hair growth, thickness and less shedding.

Combination therapy:

Combining various modalities of treatment will increase your chance of success. Prevention and early treatment is key.

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).

covid 19 - safety & clean air

why it really matters

I know what you’re thinking… looks like a busy ceiling. So what’s the big deal? Designing a medical spa during the height of COVID-19 pandemic had it’s perks. We had a lot of time to think about safety…

Since COVID-19 and many other viruses are transmitted mainly through the respiratory system, what could be more important than breathing clean air? So we hired the best engineers to design a state-of-the-art HVAC system. Many thanks to the talented engineers at Robison Engineers who really stepped up to the challenge. Also a big thanks to the great team at Lynnwood Heating for installing the system and ensuring its continual quality and upkeep.

hvac system

The Engineers at Robison can explain it best, but the basic concept is: CLEAN air comes in from the outside; inside air gets filtered through the IQAir filter and is pushed outside. No “dirty” air recirculates into any of the rooms. Our HVAC system also transfers the heat from outgoing treated air to incoming fresh air constantly.

Hats off to anyone who can interpret the intricate HVAC plans below. The rest of us will just have to have faith in the professionals who are experts in their field!

iqair filter

According to the manufacturer’s website:

“The IQAir GCMultiGas features HyperHEPA filtration technology for superior airborne particle removal. IQAir's HyperHEPA filtration is tested and certified by an independent third-party lab to effectively filter ≥ 99% of harmful ultrafine pollution particles down to ≥ 0.3 microns. This is 100 times smaller than what is achieved with ordinary air filtration technology and 10 times smaller than a virus.”

“Ultrafine particles are smaller than 0.1 microns, make up about 90% of all airborne particles, and have been linked to heart attacks, strokes, asthma, and even cancer. IQAir’s HyperHEPA filtration in the GC MultiGas is proven and certified to filter at least 95% of all particles down to 0.003 microns – the smallest particles that exist.”

So when you look up at the beautiful ceilings at Rejuve Medspa, you can feel confident that the air you breath is safe.

what other safety precautions?

check-in process

• Appointment: We are taking clients by appointment only while the COVID-19 infection rates remain high and vaccination rates remain low. So please call for an appointment first.

• Questionnaire & Consent: You will be asked to complete a questionnaire to screen for high risk signs or symptoms of COVID-19.

• Temperature check will be part of the screening process.

• Direct to Room: Clients will be escorted to a comfortable treatment room immediately upon check-in.

• Masks Required: Our staff will be wearing KN95 Masks. We ask that all clients also wear a mask upon entering the spa and throughout their entire stay, unless their treatment requires temporary removal of mask.

cleanliness

• Cleaning Standards: We strive to meet the cleaning standards set forth by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). We factor in ample time between clients to thoroughly clean the rooms and disinfect all equipment.

• Clean Air: Our state-of-the-art HVAC and IQAir filtration system will help ensure that viral pathogens are filtered out, and there is no cross-contamination from room to room.

comfortable, warm atmosphere

Behind the beautiful wood slats are a series of complex interconnecting ducts, vents, fans and filters to ensure that viral and bacterial pathogens are purged. Clean air is transferred in from outside. Contaminated air does not recirculate into any of the rooms.

The countertops are made of quartz - a non-porous material that does not absorb moisture or bacteria which helps to prevent the spread of germs.

The backsplash appears to be stone, but is actually made of porcelain which is a hardy material that also has a very low absorption rate. Porcelain tile is virtually impervious to moisture and is easy to maintain and clean.

Also notice the touchless faucets. Later additions will include touchless soap dispensers and hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the spa.

Your privacy and safety is of utmost importance to the team at Rejuve Medspa. We hope to make your experience warm and comfortable.

Emsella For Urinary Incontinence- Prevent The Need For Surgery

EMSELLA is a revolutionary FDA cleared treatment for urinary incontinence for both men and women. EMSELLA strengthens the pelvic floor muscles by using High Intensity Focused Electro Magnetic Energy (HIFEM) to cause muscle contractions like the contractions you perform when doing a Kegel exercise. What makes this treatment effective is the in-depth penetration and stimulation of the entire pelvic floor area. A single session brings you thousands of intense contractions that you would not be able to do on your own. These contractions are extremely helpful when it comes to muscle strengthening. The pelvic floor muscles help support the uterus, bladder, and bowels. Regular exercising of the pelvic floor muscles can improve or prevent urinary leakage.

Urinary Incontinence (leakage of urine) is a common problem that affects over 200 million people worldwide. EMSELLA can prevent the need for surgery, but early treatment is most beneficial. In addition, many people report improved strength of orgasm, improvement of erectile dysfunction and even improvement of stool incontinence. Combination treatment with abdominal muscle strengthening with EMSCULPT NEO can also improve core strength.

BENEFITS OF EMSELLA for urinary incontinence:

• Non-invasive treatment with no recovery time

• Remain fully clothed during treatment

• Restores bladder and pelvic muscle control without time-consuming exercises

• A comfortable procedure that lets you relax during a 28-minute treatment

• 95% of patients report an improved quality of life

• Many men and women report improved strength of orgasm

EMSELLA FOR INTIMATE WELLNESS in women:

EMSELLA causes the entire pelvic floor muscle to contract and relax using HIFEM (High Intensity Focused Magnetic Energy). Stimulating the muscles in the vagina and vaginal canal triggers the production of new fibroblasts and collagen in the area, thereby enhancing sensitivity. This increased sensitivity leads to heightened sexual pleasure, increased strength and duration of orgasm. EMSELLA is a great way to boost your sex drive.

EMSELLA FOR INTIMATE WELLNESS IN MEN:

Men suffering from Erectile Dysfunction can also benefit from the EMSELLA treatment. HIFEM technology strengthens the pelvic floor muscles and has been clinically shown to be particularly beneficial for men after prostate surgery. Key benefits with EMSELLA for men include:

• Improved sensation

• Increased erection duration and quality

• Enhanced climax

EMSELLA FOR BUILDING CORE STRENGTH:

Core strength includes recruitment of the abdominal, gluteal and pelvic floor muscles. EMSELLA can be combined with Emsculpt Classic or Emsculpt NEO of the abdominal and/or gluteal muscles to improve core strength. Discover the Core to Floor Therapy with Emsculpt NEO combined with EMSELLA.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR EMSELLA?

EMSELLA is a great option for women and men of any age who desire a non-surgical solution for urinary incontinence and improvement in their quality of life. If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you may be a good candidate to receive EMSELLA:

• Do you feel a sudden, urgent need to urinate, followed by accidental leakage?

• Do you leak urine when you cough, laugh, or sneeze?

• Do you get up at night to urinate, or need to urinate frequently during the day?

• Is your quality of life affected by frequent urination or incontinence?

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING EMSELLA TREATMENT?

The treatment is non-invasive, non-surgical, and you remain fully clothed while sitting on the EMSELLA chair. We recommend loosely fitted clothing to help achieve best positioning during the treatment. Avoid wearing clothing that contains metal. When the treatment starts, you will feel tingling and vibrations in your pelvic floor muscles that will then turn into full contractions. This will be comfortable and tolerable. Your provider can adjust the settings according to your comfort level. During this 28-minute treatment session, you can relax, listen to music, read a magazine, or watch TV.

HOW MANY emsella SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

Although you may observe improvement over a single session, 6 sessions are recommended for the initial treatment of urinary incontinence. Those with more severe symptoms of incontinence may need 10 or more sessions for optimal results. The sessions are scheduled twice a week. Results will typically continue to improve over the next several weeks. Scientific research has shown that 95% of treated patients reported significant improvement in their quality of life after EMSELLA treatment.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME with emsella?

There is no downtime associated with EMSELLA. You can return to normal activities right away.

is emsella covered by insurance?

Currently, EMSELLA is not covered by insurance. However, many Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Federal Flexible Spending accounts (FSA) may cover the EMSELLA treatment. Call to verify if your specific HSA or FSA covers “pelvic floor rehabilitation via electro stimulation.” If it does, you may submit a receipt for reimbursement based on the rules set forth by your plan.

emsella reviews:

Real Self Patient Review: “No More Leaky Bladder. An amazing spa! Dr Kaplan is extremely knowledgeable about treatment options and helped me decide what was right for me. The Emsella chair has been a life changing treatment. After having children and living with a leaky bladder for years. I never imagined it was possible to live without pantiliners every single day for the inevitable leaking. I was wrong. Sitting comfortably in a chair for a 30 minute treatment is all it takes to say bye bye to that leaky bladder.”

Real Self Patient Review: “I reached out to Dr. Kaplan after researching treatments to address a number of health issues I struggled to improve on after having two children: urinary incontinence, diastasis recti, and constant lower back pain. I completed my EMSELLA, EMSCULPT, and EXILIS treatments a few months ago and have experienced significant improvement in all areas. I have also seen a HUGE reduction of my mommy-muffin-top (just an added bonus on top of all the other benefits I've experienced).”
