Give Yourself a Fresher and Younger Look

PRP is a treatment with seemingly endless areas for application – from turning back the clock on ageing to helping with sexual dysfunction. And that’s just the start.

Using the body’s own natural resources, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) works by literally drawing on your own blood and re-injecting higher concentrations of blood platelets, which release growth factors to the treatment site and stimulate new cell growth and regeneration.

The Vampire Facelift in Victoria

The evolution of PRP for aesthetic treatment is the trademark Vampire Facelift developed by Dr Charles Runels in the US. It’s become a popular skin rejuvenation treatment around the world, no doubt bolstered by its celebrity clientele (just Google it to watch Kim K having one).

The Vampire Facelift is a unique treatment that uses a combination of strategically placed hyaluronic acid gel dermal fillers for structure, and PRP overlay for enhancement of the skin. This results in a natural-looking restoration of facial volume and shape, without looking overdone. “When I treat someone’s face, I make them look five years younger, but importantly they’re not frozen in time. We just reset the clock,” says Dr. Nhi at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa.

The improvement is gradual and results are cumulative. Usually a course of three to four treatments over a four to six months are required, with a single top-up treatment once or twice a year. In the first part of the Vampire Facelift procedure, the practitioner strategically injects filler to achieve a more sculpted and contoured face –while still keeping the shape natural. Next he or she harvests your own blood growth factors (hence the name Vampire), which your body would normally use to heal damaged tissue.

“To do this, a numbing cream is applied to the face, blood is drawn and then it takes about 5-10 minutes to process the blood. We then extract the platelets from the blood and put it into a syringe and it is injected after the filler is used to sculpt the face,”
Dr Nhi explains.

This platelet-rich plasma improves the tone, texture and luminosity of the skin, as well as reducing pore size, and improving the fine crepey skin around the eyes.

“We can go places with PRP that we can’t go with filler, for example, we can use the plasma around the eye area,” says Dr Runels. “The end result is a beautifully sculpted face with a nice colour and textural improvement.”

Everyone’s talking PRP

This is an area of medicine that is seriously growing. Every year PRP is attracting more practitioners and patients because of the regenerative results it produces and increased knowledge about the virtually limitless potentials in how it can be used.

In September 2016 hundreds of doctors met in Italy to share, learn and workshop the regenerative and aesthetic capabilities of PRP at the annual Biobridge Conference. Two local doctors, Dr Abbas Al-Taiff and Dr Robin Chok, were among the attendees.

“PRP’s role in internal and external wellness is developing – and it’s endless. In the musculoskeletal system it has a very widerange of applications and indications. For aesthetic medicine it has a promising future for the management of a variety of appearance and medical and/or cosmetic issues, including sexual medicine,” says Dr Al-Taiff.

“Regenerative medicine is an exciting field, promising successful results. It needs proper training, motivated professionals and appropriate candidates. Our mission is to overcome many health issues with our own cells,” he says.

Since the advent of worldwide interest in the Vampire Facelift, and especially amongst the A-listers, there has been a growing demand than ever for PRP procedures.

“RegenLab Biobridge Conference 2016 has been the most exciting congress of experts from all over the world to discuss the regenerative medical powers of PRP,” says Dr Chok. “Regenerative medicine is rapidly becoming the norm, as we continue to have a better understanding of how we can preserve our body function with our own body tissue. Only with our own DNA stimulation and reactivation is it possible to fight ageing and also many illnesses that even modern medicine has not been able to treat.”

“With the advent of 3D tissue printing I believe regenerative medicine will truly take off to a whole new dimension, as we will have tissue that is much more bio-compatible to our body’s biophysical function. Advanced processing of biomaterials such as calcium and silk are being looked into now – the future is definitely brighter and not too far away,” Dr Chok concludes.

Sculptra Anti-Aging Skin Treatment

0 Comment(s)
July 12, 2019

Sculptra is one of the latest advances in non-surgical cosmetic treatments and can smooth deep lines and wrinkles and restore your facial volume lost to the body’s natural aging process. It provides you the gradual, long-lasting improvement and gives you an entirely fresh-looking fuller face.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid, that stimulates the body’s own production of collagen within the line or wrinkle, making the skin appear smoother and firmer.
The aim of Sculptra is not to change your appearance or features but to make you look like yourself but with plumper, more youthful skin.

Sculptra can be used to treat;

Upper Face – Temples
The middle part of the face – Nasolabial folds,(deep lines between the nose and mouth), Tear Trough, and Cheek Augmentation
The lower part of the face – Marionette lines, pre-jowls sulcus, and the jawline

What’s the difference between Sculptra, fillers and implants?

Sculptra is different to an injectable filler or implants that either have a shorter term result or are more invasive. It takes longer to work (about 6 weeks), but results can last over one year.

Which product is best for eliminating fine lines and wrinkles?

0 Comment(s)
August 14, 2017

There are 3 neurotoxins that help eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.

Which of these should you use?

All these neurotoxins last three months, but patients who have a fast metabolism and tolerance to Botox will notice wrinkles coming back after two months. They should try the alternative neurotoxin.

Choose the one that’s best for you.

Your results could vary based on your unique skin and biology. One neurotoxin one may last longer than another and it can be different for each person.

Botox costs the most because their brand is the most recognizable, they were the first ones in the market. But Xeomin and Dysport are equally as good. We have patients who love Dysport because it can last up to six months. Xeomin and Dysport are priced 20% less expensive than Botox. At our spa, we educate patients about options and savings so they can make an informed decision.

About Us

Fountain of Youth Medical Spa is a top provider of all three neurotoxins. We maintain a Silver level for ordering Allergan’s Botox and Juvéderm fillers, and a Diamond level for ordering Mertz’s Xeomin, Belotero, and Radiesse.

December 19, 2015

Let’s face it – you try to eat healthy as often as possible. But between your time in the office, your busy schedule at home, and all the things you need to do in between, it’s no wonder that your diet and exercise plans sometimes slip to the wayside.

It’s time to introduce yourself to IV nutrition therapy – and it’s now available at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas (serving the Texas Gulf Coast).

What’s IV Nutrition Therapy?

At first glance, IV nutrition therapy might seem like something you can only find in hospitals when you’re not feeling well. In recent years, however, researchers have discovered that IV nutrition therapy is an efficient and powerful way to deliver a cocktail of beneficial vitamins directly to the body’s bloodstream. The end result is that patients feel healthier, less fatigued, and ready to take on the day.

In fact, it’s thought that IV nutrition therapy can counteract the effects of a number of health conditions and diseases, including: chronic fatigue, bronchitis, fibromyalgia, hay fever, narcotic withdrawal, depression, headaches, hyperthyroidism, stress, and more.

At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa, founder and certified anti-aging expert Dr. Nhi Le uses the Myers’ Cocktail, a standard vitamin-mineral combination that delivers a powerful punch to your body’s aches and ailments. IV nutrition therapy includes:

Magnesium

Do You Suffer From Adrenal Fatigue?

0 Comment(s)
December 13, 2015

Have you been tired lately? Suffering from more colds than usual? With winter finally here, you might think your immune system is overloaded from the change in weather – but it could actually be something much more serious.

Acute stress may seem like an ordinary part of the modern life, but it can actually cause significant damage to your immune system. When we’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed by work, family, or even just the responsibilities of day-to-day life, the body releases adrenal stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. While these stress hormones can be essential in fight-or-flight situations, prolonged exposure can wreak havoc on your immune system.

This effect is known as adrenal fatigue, and it can have a number of effects on your immune system, including:

Increased frequency of colds and flu
Decreased energy levels
Weight gain
Anxiety
Depression
Insomnia
Inflammation

In some severe cases, too much chronic stress can actually increase your risk odds for certain diseases, including heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and even cancer.

In other words, adrenal fatigue can be extremely unhealthy, and potentially even deadly.

Your adrenals – the hormones that are released when you experience stress – need time to recover after a fight-or-flight situation. When you suffer from chronic stress, you’re not giving your adrenals time to recover. Fortunately, there are a number of methods and treatments you can use to help counteract the effects of adrenal fatigue

That’s why at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, founder and anti-aging expert Dr. Nhi Le specializes in bioidentical hormone therapy, which is the preferred treatment for adrenal fatigue. When combined with a nutrition supplement and a healthy lifestyle, bioidentical hormones can counteract the effects of adrenal fatigue, leaving patients feeling refreshed, energetic, rested, and years younger.

During your bioidentical hormone therapy, Dr. Le will monitor your treatments to ensure you’re getting the best results possible. She’ll also work with you to help you discover and maintain a healthier lifestyle.

To learn more about adrenal fatigue and bioidentical hormone therapy, schedule a consultation with Dr. Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today. You can learn more by calling 361-576-9100.

November 17, 2015

You know that the first thing people often notice about you is your skin – and when you have hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and acne scars, you might feel self-conscious about that.

If your complexion issues are a source of embarrassment for you, it’s time to discover a new treatment that can help you love your skin again…

And you can find it at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. Dr. Nhi Le is an expert in anti-aging and her staff is highly trained in skin care services.

Introducing SilkPeel MD

SilkPeel MD is the only in-office medical grade treatment that uses special technology to target and treat your skin’s trouble spots. The SilkPeel MD procedure combines the power of microdermabrasion and potent serums to create an innovative and highly effective way of targeting the following skin concerns:

Hyperpigmentation
Uneven skin tone
Acne scars
Dry skin
Acne and blackheads

The SilkPeel MD treatment is delivered via a small handpiece, which is used to gently buff away the top layer of dead skin cells. At the same time as the microdermabrasion, the handpiece delivers patented SilkPeel Pro-Infusion serums into the newly revealed skin. This procedure ensures that your skin is refreshed, revitalized, and nurtured with medical-grade skincare ingredients.

Volumizing Hydration and Deep Pore Cleansing

In addition to delivering top-of-the-line exfoliation, the SilkPeel MD treatment increases the facial skin’s volume, which creates a youthful and revitalized appearance. This volumizing effect also plumps up the skin, which helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

For patients concerned with blackheads and acne, the SilkPeel treatment uses vacuum pressure to flush pores with blackhead-targeting serums. The combination of the serum and the pressure works to remove dirt and debris from pores, thus creating smoother and flawless-looking skin.

Don’t Forget the SilkPeel Body System

SilkPeel has also developed a Body System that’s used to treat stretch marks, cellulites, and acne scars on different parts of the body, including the breasts, thighs, and stomach. The SilkPeel Body System uses the same process to treat body complexion issues, but with a larger handpiece.

Learn More About Breast Cancer Screening and Prevention

0 Comment(s)
October 19, 2015

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month – and that means thousands of organizations across the country are rallying to inform the world about the causes, symptoms, and treatments for breast cancer. By raising awareness, it’s hoped that more women (and men!) will prioritize keeping themselves healthy, as well as engage in regular breast cancer screenings.

At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, anti-aging expert Dr. Nhi Le and her staff members are committed to helping clients learn more about breast cancer, including what steps they can take to minimize their risks for developing this disease. With 1 in 8 women estimated to be diagnosed with breast cancer within their lives, it’s more important than ever to give people the information they need to stay healthy and cancer-free.

Dr. Le recommends taking the following steps to cut down on your risk for developing breast cancer:

• Limit your alcohol intake. Multiple studies have shown that drinking more than one drink per day can greatly increase your risk for developing breast cancer.

• Same rule applies with smoking. In addition to increasing your breast cancer risk, smoking can make it more likely that you’ll develop heart disease, lung cancer, and other deadly diseases.

• Be physically active. In addition to controlling your weight, being physical activity for 30 minutes each day can help slash your risk for breast cancer.

• Ensure that a professional administers any hormone therapy. At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa, Dr. Le ensures that all hormone therapy treatments are done with your health and safety in mind. That way, you can enjoy the youth-enhancing benefits of hormone therapy without worrying about your health.

• Undergo regular screenings for breast cancer. Getting a mammogram is still one of the best ways to stay healthy, as your physician can catch any cancerous tumors at their earliest stages.

For more information on how to keep yourself healthy and happy for life, schedule a consultation with Dr. Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today. Call (361) 576-9100 to learn more.

Your Biggest Pregnancy Complexion Problems – Solved!

0 Comment(s)
May 21, 2015

You love your little bundle of joy – but you’re not exactly the biggest fan of the stretch marks that came along during your pregnancy. While you were vigilant about applying lotion while you were expecting, those stretch marks still appeared on your stomach, hips, thighs, and even your buttocks.

Add to the fact that you had a splash of acne during your pregnancy, and it’s no wonder you’re looking for solutions to your biggest pregnancy complexion problems.

If that sounds familiar to you, then it’s time to set an appointment with Nhi Le, MD at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today! A dedicated physician board-certified in Internal Medicine, Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging Medicine, Dr. Le is an expert in hormones, wellness, and aesthetics for men and women.

Solving Your Stretch Marks

While stretch marks are often a sign of a happy and full life, there’s no denying that you’d like to wear a bikini or a tank top without worrying how you look. At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa, anti-aging expert Dr. Le administers innovative treatments for fading the appearance of stretch marks.

One of these treatments includes the Fraxel laser treatment, a laser-light technology that kick-starts your body’s collagen production. As collagen production increases, the skin’s turnover increases, which helps bring younger skin to the surface faster.

Fraxel laser treatments are virtually painless; most patients only report a mild heating sensation on the treatment area. Patients should expect to undergo a few sessions to see ideal results. Keep in mind that this treatment is not advised during pregnancy or breast feeding.

Eliminating Your Pregnancy Acne

Acne is a common symptom of pregnancy; thanks to those fluctuating hormones, your skin is more likely to experience an outbreak while you’re expecting your bundle of joy. If you’re suffering from post-pregnancy acne, visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas to undergo a customized treatment for your specific acne.

Depending on the severity of your acne, Dr. Le may administer a laser-light treatment, which helps kill any bacteria that may be lurking in your pores. Microdermabrasions can also help remove the dead layer of skin that could be aggravating your acne. Dr. Le may recommend a few weeks of alternative laser-light treatments with microdermabrasions or, in severe cases, chemical peels.

Dr. Le also utilizes other facial treatments to help with acne, as well as other skin conditions, such as dryness, hyperpigmenatation, rough texture, and more. Hydrafacial, SilkPeel Dermalinfusion, and Microneedling are additional facial treatments that help with different complexion issues post-pregnancy.

Visit Fountain of Youth Medical Spa

It’s important to keep in mind that the treatments mentioned above for both stretch marks and acne are safe and effective to use after pregnancy and breastfeeding. During pregnancy, Dr. Le recommends BASQ skin care products, organic facials, Microneedling, and RG-cell serum that is rich in botanical stem cells’ growth factors and antioxidants.

Don’t put up with pregnancy acne well past your child’s birth. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today.
