Acupuncture has been used in Eastern medicine for millennia for many medical conditions and illnesses. It is one of the primary treatment methods in Asia, and for good reason. Regardless of why you are getting acupuncture, there are some health benefits that everyone might enjoy.
Regulates Hormones
There are about 50 hormones that help regulate all of the many processes that make up your body’s function. Health problems are caused or made worse by imbalances in hormones. It doesn’t matter what your gender, you will have hormonal changes and surges at certain times in your life. Acupuncture regulates hormones so that your overall health is improved.
Here at Mind Body Spirit Care, we offer several different dermal fillers to treat signs of aging. Each dermal filler fights the signs of aging in their own way. Prices can vary, and the same dermal filler right for one person may not be right for another. Here’s what you need to know about the dermal fillers we carry and their uses in anti-aging.
Juvederm
Juvederm is actually the brand name for a complete line of dermal fillers designed to treat every possible sign of aging. We offer three Juvederm products in our office. These three products can treat most lines and wrinkles. The three Juvederm fillers we offer and their uses are:
Pretty much everyone has heard of Botox and its appealing anti-aging properties. Celebrities have been making Botox one of the most famous nonsurgical cosmetic treatments for reducing forehead lines and crow’s feet, but there are actually other options available today that are sometimes preferable to Botox for a variety of reasons. One of the competitors of Botox is Dysport.
Same Active Ingredient
Botox and Dysport both use the same active ingredient, a neurotoxin called abobotulinumtoxinA. When properly injected into a target area on the face, the neurotoxin forces the muscles to relax. This prevents your face from making repeated facial expressions that cause lines to form. As treatment continues, the lines already apparent can also decrease in severity.
Have you been noticing changes to your vagina? If so, you are not alone. There are several events in a woman’s life that can affect the health and condition of your vagina, but you don’t have to live with the changes. With minimally invasive FemTouch, you can restore your vagina to its previous state.
What Is FemTouch?
FemTouch is a carbon dioxide laser treatment for vaginal rejuvenation. The device allows for very controlled ablation and coagulation of the vaginal walls. The laser is used to remove tissue and clots in the area for faster healing and less discomfort. This stimulates new collagen production and remodels the vagina.
Do you have small areas of stubborn fat that just won’t tone or slim down, no matter how much you diet and exercise? This is actually a very common problem, and there are a lot of possible solutions. If you want to contour your body with a noninvasive treatment, Accent Prime could be your solution.
Why Body Contouring?
Body contouring can give a big boost to your self-esteem, as well as make clothing fit better and more comfortably. Women, in particular, can have a very hard time finding clothing that fits properly if you have just one stubborn area, such as upper thighs. Although they do vary, women’s sizes are based on waist and hip measurements, as well as leg length. It can be difficult to find pants that fit properly if you have stubborn fat in areas not measured.

Women are well aware that menopause comes for all women, but not all women can recognize the signs and symptoms of menopause. Sometimes symptoms such as irregular or infrequent periods can be caused by other reproductive matters. It is important to discuss all symptoms with your doctor. If you suspect that you are entering the great change of life, seeing your doctor will ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
Signs of Menopause
In addition to irregular periods of decreasing frequency, there are several symptoms and signs that a woman has entered menopause. Some of the most common symptoms are night sweats, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness or laxity. Some women may also experience stress or urgency incontinence due to a weakening of the vaginal walls and pelvic floor. Mood swings are also common.
Every woman goes through it eventually. As we age, our bodies change. One of those changes has to do with sexual hormones. A woman’s hormones decrease gradually at first, then faster as menopause progresses.
When your hormones first start to fall, you may not have a lot of symptoms. Symptoms may be sporadic or nonexistent. You may notice some minor differences, such as decreased lubrication during intercourse or brief hot flashes. As symptoms start to appear, they can range in severity and frequency.
Are you starting to see the signs of aging? Maybe you just want to head off those lines and wrinkles before they have a chance to fully form. Regardless of your reasons for getting them, aesthetic fillers have many benefits and advantages. Here are just a few.
Smoothing Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The primary reason to use dermal fillers is to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Fillers plump the skin from the deepest layers, which can fill in and smooth out those lines and wrinkles you have started to see crop up. Fillers can be used to treat lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, or between the brows.
Getting a facial doesn’t just have to be a pampering experience. Facials along with other treatments can help you keep your skin beautiful and fight the signs of aging. Microneedling is a great treatment to use in conjunction with facials. There are many benefits to combining these two treatments.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a process in which tiny wounds are made in the surface of the skin to promote collagen and elastin production. An infusion of natural collagen and elastin will help the skin have a better texture, as well as being plumper. Collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are all important in the body for keeping the skin healthy and beautiful.
