PLASMA PEN: A UNIQUE TREATMENT FOR MORE YOUTHFUL SKIN

For years people have tried to find the magic serum or pill that would keep their skin from aging. The older we get, the more and more money we spend on attempting to keep the wrinkles at bay – and nothing ever seems to work! Finding the perfect solution to combat aging skin can feel like a never ending battle but thanks to developing technology, there are now more anti-aging methods than ever before. A treatment that is rapidly becoming more popular is the use of plasma pens – a non-invasive way to tighten, lift, resurface, and regenerate your skin!

How Does It Work?

The Plasma Pens is an FDA approved tool that uses fibroblast technology to stimulate increased production of collagen in your skin. These tiny controlled traumas to the epidermis cause the outermost layer of skin to create thin sheets of carbon crusts, which fall off within a few days, revealing beautiful and rejuvenated skin.

It is a non-invasive procedure that requires no scalpels, stitches, sutures or injectable anesthetic of any kind. It is a low risk procedure with minimal side effects, little to no downtime, and most patients are able to return to work the very same day after the procedure.

What do Plasma Pen treatments target?

  • Fine Lines & Wrinkles – crows feet, forehead lines, smile lines, accordion lines, marionette lines, neck lines, etc.
  • Jawline Tightening
  • Acne Scars
  • Upper and Lower Eyelids – hoods or under eye bags
  • Stretch Marks

This advanced form of skin care gives you great results without the dangers of a more invasive procedure like botox, fillers, or plastic surgery. It is a non-surgical procedure that generates immediate and long lasting results with no bruising, bleeding or extensive healing process.

Do you want your skin back to what it used to be? Our Plasma Pen treatments are a safe and easy way to start looking – and feeling – more like your younger self!

LOW TESTOSTERONE MAY CONTRIBUTE TO DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY IN MEN AND WOMEN

We traditionally think about testosterone helping with energy, sexual interest, erectile dysfunction and libido. When we look closely at medical studies, we find a link to depression and anxiety when testosterone is low.

I’ll repeat it: Low testosterone levels may increase the risk of depression and anxiety. Higher testosterone levels decrease the risk of depression and anxiety. Taking testosterone (testosterone therapy) if your levels are low often improves depression and anxiety.

Testosterone levels are tested with blood tests at our clinics. Blood testosterone tests give providers an accurate idea of the amount of testosterone that is available to be used by your body.

Testosterone levels can be raised in numerous different ways and require a prescription from the provider at New Leaf Wellness. New Leaf Specialty Pharmacy specializes in compounding personalized testosterone and other hormones. At New Leaf  Wellness, we also have NLRx supplements that can support your wellness.

Once you start testosterone therapy it will take 2 weeks or sometimes longer to see how well testosterone helps with depression, anxiety and other health issues.

There are many other factors that can contribute to depression and anxiety including nutrient deficiencies, let’s get you feeling better! New Leaf Specialty Pharmacy specializes in compounded personalized prescriptions of testosterone and hormone therapy prescribed by our providers.  We can help; contact us for more information…

VITAMIN D FOR IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT

Winter is almost over, but with winter months come more illness. There are good reasons why we tend to see more illness during the winter months. One of those reasons is lower Vitamin D levels. As spring approaches it is vital you get your Vitamin D levels back to their optimal levels.

Humans are supposed to get over 90% of their vitamin D from the sun (diet provides very little), and the recommended Daily Value (or previously the RDA) assumed that most people received plenty of vitamin D from the sun. Our ancestors (both ancient and recent) spent a lot of time outdoors in the sun. However, in today’s modern world many people do not get enough vitamin D even during the summer months. People living in northern locales get even less. If you haven’t had your vitamin D levels checked (and most people have not) we highly recommend asking your New Leaf Provider about it. In America, most people test insufficient or deficient for this important vitamin. It is thought that most people need from 7,500-20,000 IUs per day (from all sources, including sun) to meet our needs; we need more when we’re sick or stressed.

Vitamin D helps our immune systems stay balanced during the cold and flu season. There are Vitamin D receptors and activating enzymes on the surfaces of all White Blood Cells. The role that vitamin D plays in keeping the immune system healthy is very complex because the immune system has to be perfectly balanced. If there is too much stimulation, autoimmune diseases can set in. If there is not enough immune system activity, frequent infections can occur.

Low levels of vitamin D have been linked with both extremes, including being associated with worsening autoimmune diseases. Low levels of vitamin D are not the underlying cause of the autoimmune disease, but low levels of vitamin D can make autoimmune disease states worse. Low levels of vitamin D have also been associated with frequent infections. In 2009, the National Institute of Health warned that low vitamin D levels are associated with frequent colds and influenza.

So it appears that vitamin D helps keep the immune system balanced much like a gymnast walking on a balance beam. It is important that daily and weekly vitamin D supplementation help keep your immune system balanced during the cold and flu season.

Overview of Intravenous Therapy

If you have been experiencing symptoms over a prolonged period of time and have tried many different treatment methods but nothing seems to be helping, then intravenous therapy might be the answer you have been looking for.

Overview of Intravenous Therapy

Intravenous therapy is a much more powerful treatment option than oral methods and works much faster. It bypasses the intestinal tract, which is often not functioning well in those who have been symptomatic for a long time, and delivers nutrients directly to the cells where they are needed most.

Often a remarkable improvement is seen after only 4 to 5 weekly treatments. It can also be used to boost the immune system during an acute infection, to speed recovery time dramatically.

Quick Results for a Quick Recovery

Intravenous (IV) therapy can deliver needed vitamins, minerals and nutrients directly into a patients’ circulatory system for quick absorption into the body. IV therapies can be used to treat nutritional deficiencies, introduce potent antioxidants into the body, rid the body of harmful toxins and boost immune function. It is extremely powerful and often succeeds where other treatment methods have failed.

Why use IV therapy?

IV therapy can be useful in situations where oral nutrients are not working. Sometimes a particular nutrient is not adequately absorbed orally due to poor functioning in the digestive tract. In other cases, the nutrient doses needed to achieve a therapeutic effect are so high they would cause side effects if they were taken orally. In these situations, IV therapy can deliver the needed nutrients directly to the cells more quickly and effectively than pills.

What types of IV therapy are offered?

New Leaf Wellness offers several different types of IV therapy including:

  • Meyer’s Cocktail
  • Immunity (High Dose Vitamin C)
  • Total Health
  • Weight Loss IV
  • Serenity Serum
  • and they can all come with a Boost of Glutathione!

What conditions can be improved through IV therapy?

  • Angina
  • Allergic Rhinitis
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Asthma
  • Cancer
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Epstein-Barr virus
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Hepatitis C
  • High blood pressure
  • Influenza – Viral Infections
  • Low energy and fatigue
  • Macular Degeneration
  • Migraine or tension headaches
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • PMS
  • Recurrent Infections

What can patients expect?

A physician consultation will be necessary to determine if IV therapy is appropriate, and to determine which nutrients are needed. Upon approval, a series of treatments is scheduled for one or more times per week. The infusion is generally given through an IV catheter in the patient’s arm, over a period of 15 to 90 minutes. Patients sit comfortably in a reclining chair and are monitored closely by a registered nurse.

Are there any side effects?

Potential side effects vary depending on the IV treatment given, but are minimal with most therapies. The most common side effect is pain at the injection site (easily relieved with heat or cold compresses). Occasionally patients will experience lightheadedness or hypoglycemia symptoms. Eating and being well hydrated before IV treatments will limit the potential of experiencing side effects. Patients should bring a snack if the treatment is expected to last longer than an hour.
