Forever Young BBL is the only device that has been shown to change the expression of genes associated with aging, longevity, and increased lifespan.

BBL by Sciton is an IPL device that was clinically proven to prevent the aging process by changing the expression of the genes at the cellular level.

BBL is available for Photofacials, treatments of Rosacea, Skintight at Orchid Aesthetics Medical Spa and Anti-Aging Center.

By regular IPL treatments using the BBL by Sciton you can improve the appearance of the skin by stimulating collagen synthesis, firming the skin, shrinking large pores, minimizing scars, even out the tone of the skin and treating hyper-pigmentation and sun damage. IPL( intense pulse light) treatments can be done every 3-4 weeks by a qualified professional.

During the treatments( 10 days before and 10 days after) you must not expose the treated area to direct sunlight and you must wear sun protection with SPF of 30 or more.

Scientific evidence demonstrates regular maintenance treatments using Forever Young BBL functionally rejuvenates skin and delays skin aging.

Patients have seen improvements in full-face rejuvenation, solar lentigines, erythema, skin texture, and melasma after BBL treatments. The results show that two-step treatment protocol(s) with BBL alone or in combination with topical agents is safe and effective for the treatment of a variety of common skin disorders with a low risk of complications in darker skin types.
Over 1,000 gene expressions became “rejuvenated” to be more like youthful skin resulting in decreased elastosis and more uniform collagen deposition; leading to improvements in fine wrinkles and pigmentation.
“Patients who maintain a regular regimen of BBL treatments annually can reduce and delay the long term signs of skin aging in a way that looks very natural.”

Orchid Aesthetics Medical Spa features BBLs treatments with IPL technology starting at $375/session. Packages available at disocunted rates.

Botox

Migraines are characterized by extreme pain and associated neurological symptoms and they rank in the top 20 list of most disabling illnesses. Botox Cosmetic can help relieve muscle tension and migraines.

More than 36 million people in the United States, children included are suffering with Migraines, says the Migraine Research Foundation. Migraine is one of the more common problems we see in a general neurology practice.

Women are more susceptible to the problem; one in five women suffer from migraines, versus less than one in 10 men. It affects about 10 percent of children. Migraines are painful and costly. The Migraine Research Foundation estimates that the 113 million lost work days because of migraines means $13 billion in lost productivity for American industry.

From the moment you start walking down the aisle to when you exchange vows – the focus is on your face. Beautiful skin is essential, and with some expert tips, achieving it doesn’t have to be difficult. On your wedding day, smooth, glowing skin is an absolute must.

Good skin care is an internal and external process, so:

1. Start three months ahead of the big day

Start prepping skin at least three months in advance. That will give you enough time to ensure that your skin is clear, smooth and glowing for your special day,”

2. Eat foods and beverages that nourish skin

When it comes to healthy skin, it’s not only how you treat it externally, but internally as well. Eliminate all sugar and white flour while increasing some skin care superstar foods: fresh fruits, vegetables and lean protein.Drink more and more water. Water is absolutely vital for keeping the youth of your skin.

3. Consider supplements that benefit the skin

Supplements can greatly benefit skin health from the inside, out. In addition to a good multi-vitamin, Co-Q10 that increases metabolic efficiency and improves heart health, and omega-3s (found in fish oil) for heart, eyes, brain, skin and overall body health.

4. Don’t forget last minute to-do’s for the big day

When the big day comes, you’re likely to feel a mix of emotions: excitement, anxiety, etc. Some important day-of skin care tips can help you stay calm and look your best: “Eat some protein in the morning and take a walk to boost circulation and lymphatic drainage. Use  Peptides to help with any puffiness and dark circles under your eyes. Keep your makeup natural. Wear waterproof mascara, just in case.

However, there are a large number of commercial products concerning PRP and it is often forgotten the medical requirements needed for platelet rich plasma therapies to be effective.

The reason why platelet rich plasma therapies are not yet popular is that there is variability in preparation, handling and delivery of platelet rich plasma either medically or in cosmetics.

There are (2) FDA approved preparation methods to create the PRP solution which are either single spin or dual spin technologies. The double centrifuge protocol yields a significant higher concentration of platelets (3:1) :total cells delivered (CD34+) using dual spin technologies are considerably higher . In essence there is not only a large concentration of stem cells but also stem cell markers when using dual spin technologies. Important for Medical treatments like Knee Osteoarthritis double spin is not mandatory as an initial Rejuvenation treatment but can be considered in a series of injections.

It’s been reported that bombshell beauty Kim Kardashian has received a PRP( Platelet Rich Plasma)  Facelift to rejuvenate the skin on her face. This treatment seems to be growing in the world of celebrities.

Dr. Kerns of Orchid Aesthetics Medical Spa uses Selphyl Kits and Centrifuge and has the option of both single or double spin technology.

While we start the PRP Rejuvenation with a single spin on your first treatment, a series of three treatments allows us to enhance the platelets and growth factors delivered intra-dermal in the next two PRP Rejuvenation treatments using the double spin technique. A combination of single spin and double spin in a series of three treatments will deliver the best results in PRP Rejuvenation.

PRP Rejuvenation is the Future of Skin Rejuvenation at the epidermal and  dermal level with the intricated benefits of a wrinkle reducer and a volumizer. It is a 100% NATURAL treatment without any risk of infection, scarring, lumpiness, frozen expression of the face.

Many companies are trying to “cash-in” on the latest aesthetic craze and are coining different names in order to gain a marketing advantage – but at what cost? The reason why platelet rich plasma therapies are not streamlined within medicine is that there is variability in preparation, handling and delivery of platelet rich plasma either medically or in aesthetics.

Sports medicine clinicians from the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), in New York City, report that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections improve joint pain and function in patients with osteoarthritis, a leading cause of disability that affects more than 47 million people in the United States.

In their “Clinical and MRI Outcomes After Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis” study, published online ahead of print in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine, Brian Halpern, MD, and colleagues injected 22 early knee osteoarthritis patients aged 30 to 70 years with 6 milliliters of PRP produced from their own blood and monitored them for one year. Fifteen of the subjects received clinical assessments at baseline, one week and one, three, six and 12 months to assess knee pain and function, and at baseline and the one year mark, their arthritic cartilage mass was evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

At the conclusion of their study, the HSS researchers found the PRP treatment significantly decreased pain scores on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index and the Visual Analog Scale, and it increased functional and clinical scores at both six months and 12 months. Additionally, Halpern and colleagues discovered that 73 percent of the patients experienced no further cartilage degeneration at the end of the study, despite previous research reporting typical osteoarthritis patients can lose nearly 5 percent of knee cartilage each year.

“You take a person’s blood, you spin it down, you concentrate the platelets, and you inject a person’s knee with their own platelets in a concentrated form. This then activates growth factors and stem cells to help repair the tissue, if possible, calm osteoarthritic symptoms and decrease inflammation,” Halpern said in a press release. “We are entering into an era of biologic treatment — which is incredibly ideal — where you can use your own cells to try to help repair your other cells, rather than using a substance that is artificial. The downside is next to zero and the upside is huge.”

Edward Magaziner, MD, CEO of New Jersey Interventional Pain Society, assistant professor at New York Medical College, clinical professor at Robert Wood Johnson University Dept. of Anesthesia and PM&R medical director of the Center for Spine, Sports, Pain Management, and Orthopedic Regenerative Medicine, in North Brunswick, N.J., said he has seen dramatic improvements in the more than 1,000 arthritic patients he has injected with PRP since 2003 — before any studies on its use for osteoarthritis were conducted in the United States.

“This study proved once and for all what we already knew in the field: That -the PRP treatment- does work and does reduce inflammation in arthritic joints,” Magaziner said. “I’ve found that, from this treatment, not only is pain going away, but function is improving. A patient on a pain scale of eight out of 10 or 10 out of 10 goes to a zero or a one out of 10, and if the patient couldn’t climb stairs or couldn’t walk a block, they’re able to climb stairs or go back to normal activity. It’s turning on the manufacturing plant in the cartilage layer.”

But contrary to most women are fearful and skeptic of trying the trendy and most women desired “stem cells, placenta, growth factors …”: what happened to the regular after shave moisturizer as basic skin care?

Men have taken a step forward and make sure wrinkles don’t crowd around their eyes or forehead, the sunburned skin on their face or chest is “bleached” with IPL treatments, and they use spa regularly for facials… and skin care treatments.

So, winkles are not at the forefront of any man’s strength any longer. Than what skin care products should men use?

1. Sunscreen
2. Moisturizer
3. Mild Cleanser

Or just try our Radiant C cream as part of your skin care regimen.

Radiant C cream-powerful anti-aging treatment contains a potent blend of 5 types of stabilized, Vitamin C 10% in a rich cream base to nourish, hydrate and protect skin as it fights and reverses the signs of aging. This formula delivers Vitamin C four times more efficiently than Ascorbic Acid formulas. Clinical testing of efficacy has shown an 80% reduction in melanin synthesis, as skin appeared dramatically lighter and brighter. Collagen synthesis is increased by 100%, leaving skin more firm.

Stacy Keibler, swears by Oil of Olay but George Clooney goes deeper:
The Daily Mail UK reported that George Clooney admitted “I had my eyes done.”

Clooney had the work on his eyes done, because he feels, “I think it’s important to look awake.”

But why bother with Blepharoplasty when daily skin care solutions and laser treatments will promptly treat your: Dark circles, Sagging skin, Wrinkles.

And your eyes will most definitely look awake, young and vibrant!

Which Beauty procedure is right for you? You may wonder?!

There are three treatments that give you the most bang for your hard-earned buck.

Botox number one

“I like to call it a game changer. It totally gives you 10 hours of rest. It just refreshes your face and gives you an instant pick-me-up.”

What if you cannot have Botox or are not ready for a dramatic change?

With the new avenues of Stem Cells and Growth Factors isolated from your own blood, you may be able to win this game and stay wrinkle free and young without getting Botox.

PRP number two

Dr. Kerns of Orchid Aesthetics Medical Spa is one of the pioneers of a technique that is rising in popularity among New Yorkers: PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Skin Rejuvenation.

This technique utilizes your own blood to isolate a concentrate of stem cells that are being used as a filler to volumize areas of your face, hands or chest and also as a wrinkle reducer competing with the well known Botox Cosmetic.

A maintenance treatment like a hydrating facial with ultrasound is a good way to keep your complexion glowing. Number three!

The latter is my new favorite. It’s affordable — starting around $160 — and it cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates your skin. It’s more than a spa facial, which is more about relaxation. It’s an intense, skin care treatment/ facial that leaves your skin radiant. Love!

So, how do you find a qualified professional? That’s not easy. Experts recommend talking to your friends and finding out what has worked for them. The American Society of Plastic Surgery or can also help you find a licensed medical professional. Once you find someone, consult with that individual. Not every treatment is right for every person.

Pregnant or nursing? You’re not getting Botox. But PRP may work for you!

Or just Hydrate and treat your skin monthly! It is worth your time and money!

PRP is an innovative therapy now being used to treat pain of osteoarthritis. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a new avenue in the Pain Management of osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal/joint disorders.

As with all musculoskeletal injuries the sooner the better: if treated in earlier stages, PRP can be very effective in treating osteoarthritis. With age, trauma or just day to day wear and tear, the cartilage lining of the joints can thin out causing abrasion between the bones. Bone spurs and osteophites can gradually enlarge the joint leading to the pain and dysfunction associated with arthritis. PRP can help ease the pain by stimulating a natural local joint response that induces faster healing. It may also be able to stimulate cartilage regeneration, especially if the treatment is associated with Hyaluronic acid injections, which could in the long run, stole the deteriorating effects of age and the progression of arthritis.

Although not FDA approved, patients treated with PRP have shown a considerable improvement in their pain and their joint range of motion or overall activity.

Is PRP safe?

Covered by most Private Medical insurance, including Medicare, PRP is an exceptionally safe procedure, performed in a sterile environment in a medical office. Because your own blood is used, there is no risk of a transmissible infection and very low risk of allergic reaction. PRP renders you pain free through natural healing and has long lasting effects. Initial improvement may be seen within a few weeks, gradually increasing as the healing progresses.

PRP at Joint Healing Center:

Joint Healing Center of Regenerative Medicine uses innovative techniques as Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma and Ultrasound guided Nerve Blocks to heal tendon or ligament tears associated with sports injuries and also heal arthritic degenerative joints. Our Physicians are Board Certified and very proficient in implementing this revolutionary techniques in the management of Arthritic or Traumatic Pain.
