RejuvatoneMD Microcurrent Facial Toning System

Instantly improve facial tone and wrinkles all over the face and neck by using gentle microcurrent technology to stimulate facial muscles.

  • Instant lifting effect that is noticeable in just a single 5 minute treatment
  • EMS / Microcurrent technology that stimulates facial muscles to “work out”
  • FDA Cleared product with clinically proven technology
  • Costs hundreds of dollars in the spa but can now be done at home
But does it really work?

The main purpose of a microcurrent is two-fold:

1. To recondition the skin by stimulating ATP production by up 500%. Increased levels of Adenosine Triphospate (ATP) speed cellular metabolism, stimulate protein synthesis, promote detoxification and reconstitute collagen and elastin.

2. To lift, firm and tighten muscles.

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. If the microamps on your microcurrent machine are set too high, say above 600 or more, then you risk a decline in ATP production and won’t realize the expected benefits.

This is why Trophy Skin’s RejuvatoneMD has a maximum micro amperage set at 512 and the maximum hertz is 8.33.

RejuvatoneMD Device should not be used in the following areas: •Breast area •Eye area (circular muscle within the orbital rim) •Mid-line of neck (bone of neck) •Groin area WARNINGS Do not submerge the unit, Charging Cradle, or removable attachments in water or any other liquid(s). If you store your RejuvatoneMD Device and the Charging Cradle in an area such as a bathroom counter, ensure the product does not come in contact with water or other liquid(s).

The RejuvatoneMD Device should not be used by: •Children •Pregnant Women •People subject to seizures •People with cancer/tumors •People with a cardiac pacemaker •People with implanted defibrillators/stimulators •People with electronic implanted devices If you have any medical concerns, such as a severe medical illness, epilepsy or seizures, or recent facial surgery, please consult your doctor before using the RejuvatoneMD Device.

The Top Hair Restoration Technologies for 2019

0

Hair restoration treatments and technologies have come a long way since their beginnings.

The oldest known topical prescription for baldness dates back to 1550 BC and involved the regular application of a home mixture containing iron-oxide, onions, honey, alabaster, lead, and a combination of animal fats that included snake, crocodile, hippo, and lion fat among others.

Its efficacy is undocumented, but it stands to reason that any topical containing lead should be avoided.

Today’s topicals and technologies are much more likely to afford better results in less time, though even today, not all hair restoration treatments are equal in efficacy and efficiency.

Protocols, duration, and results among other factors can vary quite significantly between treatments and technologies, so which may offer the best outcomes for your patients?

Here, we explore today’s most popular hair loss treatment options alongside those just starting to see more interest in 2019.

Top Treatments to Stall Hair Loss and Stimulate New Hair Growth

Drug/Topical Therapies

The first drug treatment approved by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for hair loss, minoxidil remains one of the most commonly used topical treatments for hair loss.

Available over the counter, minoxidil-based shampoos and topicals are often the first step patients take to treat early hair loss and thinning.

If used properly, minoxidil-based solutions can slow hair loss, but the details regarding whether they can stimulate new hair growth remains a little murky, particularly for older men and women.

Finasteride is another drug-based topical hair loss treatment that may be an effective solution for males.

An oral medication, finasteride works by preventing testosterone from forming DHT, the androgen hormone that is most commonly the culprit behind decreased hair growth in hormone-sensitive follicles.

Because it works on testosterone, finasteride is not an ideal option for female patients.

Read about manual and motorized devices for harvesting follicular units in a Follicular unit extraction Hair Transplant:

NeoGraft

A hand-held surgical device that extracts follicular units from the donor area and implants them in the recipient area via an air-pressure/suction-based system.

The Neograft machine relies on manual control provided by a human operator in order to select and extract follicular unit grafts.

The device is applied to the scalp where it first separates the grafts from the surrounding donor tissue with a rotating sharp punch that is connected to a suction unit.

Once the upper part of the graft is dissected by the punch, the suction pulls the graft out, separating it from the remaining tissue.

SmartGraft

A suction-based system comprised of a hand-piece, touchscreen monitor, and follicular unit graft storage chamber.

The main component of the system is a unit comprised of the touchscreen monitor and temperature-controlled storage chamber.

The unit also provides suction for the hand-piece, which connects via a tube.

The touchscreen allows the surgeon to control and monitor the rotation speed of the punch, strength of suction, illumination of the scalp, and irrigation of the graft storage canisters.

Atera Follicular unit extraction-100

The FUE-100 system utilizes a hand-piece with depth control and a unique saline injection system that the company claims to maximize the viability of follicular unit grafts.

The hand-piece provides the surgeon with the option of using one of three different size harvesting punches (0.8mm, 0.95mm, and 1.05mm).

Like the Neograft and SmartGraft systems, the Atera FUE-100 system uses a single-punch, suction technique.

3-Step

A sharp punch instrument cuts through the upper part of the skin.

To avoid injury to follicles, a dull punch is then used to bluntly dissect (separate) the follicular unit grafts from the surrounding deeper dermis.

The third step is simply the removal of the grafts from the scalp.

Porefessional Grade Photon LED Face & Neck Therapy Mask (7 Color Changing)

LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE WITH FLAWLESS SKIN

Our Porefessional LED Photon Therapy mask comes with 198 individual LED lights to treat every skincare issue imaginable on the face and neck. We’ve taken our LED mask to the next level with a bonus attachment for the neck, arguably the most overlooked part of all skincare routines. Our LED mask helps your facial tissue promote collagen, blood  circulation, and tightens skin while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Use this treatment for 15-30 minutes daily to notice an immediate improvement in the composition of your skin.

Dr. Dennis Gross, a New York based board certified dermatologist, puts it this way, “think of the light as an ingredient”. Think of LED light as another ingredient for your skin care. LED is short for Light Emitting Diode and the different wavelengths of the LED light works in the level of skin cells. This stimulates the skin on a cell level for instance, stimulating collagen production. Rather than having instant dramatic difference on the skin, LED light therapy has long-term biological effect when topically when used for a period of time.

Despite LED therapy being in the spotlight only recently, LED treatments have been around for over 30 years now! Fun fact, it was originally developed for astronomical purposes, to increase blood flow, tissue healing and repair for astronauts. Unlike other types of light therapy, LED does not contain ultraviolet rays, making it safe for regular use.
