Rejuvé Medical Monthly Newsletter October 2018

Hello, it's Rejuvé!

As Fall comes into full swing and winter sets upon us, it’s still important to look out for the part of your body that looks out for you -- your skin!

In the Fall and Winter months there are still many actionable steps we can be doing to build a strong skincare protocol that will have us looking amazing into the new year.

This month’s blog has to do with a couple of the little things that you can do to really set yourself up to enjoy an amazing complexion as a result of building a daily skincare practice. By incorporating these small yet effective skincare solutions, you can enjoy amazing and lasting results.

Rejuvé has been helping our patients look and feel amazing since 2005. Our practice provides innovative solutions and comprehensive care, specializing in skincare treatments and non-surgical aesthetic enhancement services which will help boost self-image and increase overall wellness and well-being.

Consider CoolSculpting

Rejuvé is also excited to announce that we’re now able to provide CoolSculpting treatments for the chin with our new CoolSculpting Mini applicator, which will help reduce overall fat and comes FDA approved for its ability to tighten loose and sagging skin.

There was a recent 18-week clinical study which found that 77% of participants found a reduction in lax tissue under the chin. 75% also reported that their chins looked more toned.

CoolSculpting utilizes cryolipolysis and can destroy as much as 24% of fat cells in many parts of the body, including the face and neck!

We apply cold temperatures to the area to freeze out fat, eliminating unwanted fat, and even double chins. Patients often start to see double chin reduction after one month, enjoying progressive results that peak around the 90-day mark. It usually takes 2 treatments to achieve desired results.

If you think you’d be a good CoolSculpting candidate, you can give us a call at Rejuvé today. We generally like to provide this treatment to our patients who are engaging in exercise and healthy diets, looking to supplement their results with non-surgical aesthetic enhancement. Schedule your consultation with us today -- we can help!

Consider Your Collagen

Did you know that, after the age of 20, your body starts to lose its ability to produce collagen by 1% each year? What does that mean for you? Thin, fragile-looking skin, that’s what.

It just so happens that collagen is the primary protein in our bodies. You can find collagen in your bones, muscles, skin, even in your blood vessels, your digestive system, and in your tendons.

There’s bovine collagen, chicken collagen, fish collagen, and egg shell membrane collagen (egg collagen) to choose from, each giving you distinct benefits, like arthritis relief, immune system enhancement, improved digestive health, skin, hair, and nail benefits, joint and muscle relief, pain and stiffness relief, and, not to mention, anti-aging benefits.

Some of the foods you’re eating might be contributing to your collagen decreasing over time. This might be a high sugar or high processed carbohydrate diet, excessive alcohol consumption, sun overexposure, or smoking.

Replacing collagen in your diet is easy. Just start drinking bone broth, if you’re able. You can make it yourself or buy it from the health food or grocery store. You can also ditch the unhealthy protein shakes you buy from the gas station and opt for collagen-rich protein powder, which can still be used if adopting a ketogenic diet.

CollaGEN for Joint Cushioning and Connective Tissue

Over time, our lifestyle factors can really do a number on our skin elasticity as well as our connective tissue. The result? Wrinkles and drooping skin. That’s where CollaGEN comes in, providing targeted precursors, hyaluronic acid, as well as type I and II collagen peptides.

CollaGEN also features Collagen Hydrolysate (FORTIGEL®) as an active ingredient, which provides crucial bioactive collagen peptides (BCPs) which comprise connective tissue. These short-chain peptides allow for easy absorption, transport, and accumulation in order to target connective tissue for joint health benefits.

CollaGEN also feature Hyaluronic Acid Extract (Mobilee®) and Mucopolysaccharides (TendoActive®) which help with biophysical, biochemical, and cell regulation processes in joint synovial tissues, as well as allow tendon/ligament stretching, bending, and resilience, respectively.

Try this amazing product ASAP -- CollaGEN contains key nutrients that protect and preserve your connective tissue (both with synthesis and regeneration). CollaGEN also preserves fibroblasts and increases collagen type I production, preserves synovial cells, increases hyaluronic acid production – all for the purposes of enhancing the structural stability of your skin, bone, and connective tissue.

CollaGEN is easy to use – put it in a beverage, or it could also be added to baking products. Make sure to consult with your medical professional before you start.

MItoQ -- The Miracle Molecule!

MItoQ is the active molecule in this product bearing its namesake. MItoQ is the world’s very first mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant to deliver energy to the body’s cells which help slow the aging process.

As we start to age, our bodies start to produce less collagen and elastin -- it’s inevitable. Environmental toxins don’t make it any easier on our skin, which protects our internal organs and musculoskeletal system against the elements. As our body’s mitochondria natural oxidant system declines, free radicals leak into our cells, which causes damage and increases visible signs of aging.

MItoQ is a clean, active, and clinical/medical grade skin cream for the face and neck. Clients can address skin sagging, skin puffiness, hyperpigmentation, and skin dryness, as well as reinforce skin barrier, provide sallowness relief, and provide dull skin relief. Patients of all skin types can use this product, even patients who live with rosacea.

In short, MItoQ’s heavy duty skin nutrient and antioxidant formula (complete with A,C, and B vitamins and Centella Asiatica) equals LIGHTENED, BRIGHTENED, and TIGHTENED skin. MitoQ also contains botanicals like Chamomile, Rosa Canina, Rosemary, Olive, Mimosa, and Pomegranate – all for promoting consistent skin hydration. MItoQ is over 1000x stronger than any anti oxidant formula on the market!
