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.

Why Platelets are the Most Natural and Effective Treatment for the Under Eye Area

the power of platelets for facial rejuvenation:

Want an all-natural, safe, and effective treatment? Platelets may be your answer.

As the proverb goes, “the eyes are the window to the soul”. So much attention is focused on the eyes. The under eye area is a common “concern” area. This is because the skin under the eyes is extremely thin and begins to sag and wrinkle as we age. For people who have dark shadows or under eye hollowing, there is lack of subcutaneous fat beneath this skin. Thus, muscle which lies directly below the skin, causes purplish discoloration below the eyes.

Other common areas of concern include the nasolabial folds (lines between the nose and lips) and wrinkles around the lips caused by gradual loss of collagen/elastin, shrinking fat pads, sagging ligaments, and constant muscle contractions.

What can we do to combat this aging process? Well, let’s get to the root cause. What’s our strategy?

1. Thicken the skin (improve collagen and elastin)

2. Tighten the skin (reverse wrinkles)

3. Prevent wrinkles (relax the muscles)

4. Prevent sagging (strengthen the ligaments)

5. Replenish the lost volume

While we have many therapies for each one of these five categories. Let’s talk about one that can address four out of the five.

what are the benefits of platelets (PRP or PRFM)?

Platelets are our body’s first responders to injury. They activate a cascade of physiological mechanisms conducive to healing and regeneration of tissues. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) release growth factors, stem cells and cytokines (cell messengers), which signal tissues to regenerate, restore and rebuild skin cells. PRP and PRFM procedures are utilized in aesthetic medicine to restore skin collagen and elastin, thus improving skin quality and overall healthy appearance.

why is prfm better than prp?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) contains 5 times greater amount of platelets than the blood circulating in the human body; while the concentration of platelets in PRFM is 10 times greater. PRP remains in the injected area for about 24 hours; whereas PRFM stays productive in the area for one week to slowly release growth factors necessary for restoration of skin tissues. PRFM requires less blood volume compared to PRP, exerts more healing factors, while inflicting less trauma to individual cells.

how is the prfm treatment performed?

The process begins with a blood draw. The blood is collected into tubes which are spun at a very high speed in a centrifuge. This process separates blood cells (red cells, white cells) from plasma, which contains activated platelets, growth factors, stem cells, and cell messengers. PRP is then transferred into a tube which contains calcium chloride which converts the PRP into PRFM (Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix). PRFM turns into a gel-like matrix after about 1o minutes, allowing it actively recruit growth factors and stem cells to promote a healing cascade for one week.

Ultrasound is a tool that we use to assess the precise location of arteries and veins, as everyone’s anatomy varies. By avoiding arteries and veins, we can prevent bruising and vascular complications.

We use micro cannulas to inject PRP or PRFM into the face or neck. After cleansing the skin area, we numb the skin with Lidocaine and then create an opening or a skin puncture with a needle. Through this opening we insert a cannula, which is a blunt instrument similar to IV catheter. The cannula feels like pressure rather than pain. It is likely for clients to have mild swelling, which gradually improves as the body reabsorbs the PRP or PRFM. Growth factors, stem cells and cell messengers begin to stimulate the production of new and healthy cells.

why add healite?

Ever wonder why a plant grows better with fertilizer and sunlight? Imagine what your tomatoes would look like if it was grown in soil with only water, but no fertilizer or sunlight…it probably wouldn’t produce many tomatoes if any. So add fertilizer but, no sunlight…maybe a bit higher chance of success. Sunlight is what gives your tomato plants energy to produce fruit.

HEALITE (830 nm near infrared light) boosts the ATP (energy) production in your cells to enhance results and speed recovery. By providing more energy to your cells, you have better recruitment of neutrophils, mast cells, and macrophages that in turn recruit stem cells and growth factors to enhance the healing cascade. Think of platelets as the “fertilizer” and HEALITE as the “sunlight” needed to ensure a successful treatment.

when can i expect to see results with prfm?

Platelet therapy produces completely natural results that gradually improves over time. Every individuals’ immune response varies. Typically subtle results can be seen within one month, but continues to gradually improve over six months.

how many PRFM treatments will i need?

For the best results, we recommend a series of treatments, two to three treatments four weeks apart. A boost treatment four to six months later will enhance your results. Areas commonly treated include tear trough (under eye) area, but we highly recommend treating the entire face for the optimal results.

What should I do to prepare for treatment with prfm?

We recommend starting to prepare 7-10 days prior to treatment. Eating a well balanced diet, staying well hydrated, and getting plenty of rest will prepare you for production of healthy platelets, which live about seven to ten days. Being well hydrated will increase the amount of circulating blood in your body and will make the blood draw process easier. 24 hours prior to your appointment, please avoid steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen or Advil. NSAIDs and steroids interfere with the desired inflammatory response of your body, which is intended to regenerate your skin tissue.

post-care: what should i do after treatment with prfm?

To reduce swelling, we recommend staying well hydrated, reducing sodium in your diet and sleeping with the head elevated on a few pillows. Please avoid steroids and NSAID medications (such as Motrin or Advil) for 1 week after the treatment as this will blunt the body’s immune response to the platelet therapy.

You can further boost your immune system by maintaining a healthy diet, sleep and exercise routine. We recommend taking Vitamin C (2 gm daily for 1 week) and eating 1 mg/kg of protein.

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.

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. 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 and IPL tend to be painful and are 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.

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.

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 - 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.

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).

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).”
