Improve Your Skin with Potenza by Cynosure

Say goodbye to the signs of aging with Potenza by Cynosure, a microneedling system that delivers its therapeutic effects directly to the targeted source. Whether you need help with reducing blemishes, tightening your skin, or all-around skin revitalization, Cynosure’s Potenza is a treatment option at IV-Profusion available for those in the San Dimas, Los Angeles, and neighboring areas

What is Potenza by Cynosure?

Potenza by Cynosure is the world’s first radio frequency (RF) microneedling system to combine monopolar and bipolar RF at 1 or 2 MHz frequencies within one singular device.

RF microneedling uses ultrafine needles and LED lights emitting RF waves to produce thermal energy. Microneedling itself has been in practice for more than 25 years, but the use of RF energy further aids the rejuvenation process.

Cynosure takes the power of RF microneedling even further with its use of monopolar and bipolar RF, allowing for four different RF modes that can provide shallow or deep treatments, allowing your provider to target your skin type, treatment location, and your specific needs.

How Does Potenza Work?

The goal of microneedling is to irritate the skin, initiating its repair response. Just like how your skin repairs any cuts you get when falling and scraping a knee, its repair system will also kick into effect from the irritation of microneedling.

The tiny needles used in microneedling create micro-wounds in the skin, also known as channels. The RF waves Potenza uses in conjunction with microneedling allow the needles to release RF into the channels, increasing damage.

While it might sound counterintuitive, the damage sustained by the skin triggers its production of elastin, capillaries, and collagen, or all the important parts of skin that can decline with age, bringing along signs of aging.

When RF microneedling triggers this production, your skin regenerates thicker and smoother.

Skin Problems Potenza Corrects

Potenza by Cynosure is a helpful device for targeting a range of skin problems, such as:

• wrinkles

• fine lines

• acne scars

• stretch marks

• cellulate

The Benefits of IV Ozone Therapy With UBI

Are you constantly feeling run down and sick, and are in search of a way to feel better? By using a combination of IV ozone therapy and UBI, you can help address any lingering infections in your body, even those that antibiotics cannot fight, while giving your immune system a much-needed boost.

What Is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy utilizes the powers of ozone gas to help fight disease.

The oxygen that we breathe in contains two atoms of oxygen. Ozone is a form of this, but instead of two atoms of oxygen, it contains three atoms of oxygen. This makes ozone a highly reactive form of oxygen that also offers more oxygen to cells.

The Benefits of Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy utilizes the actions of ozone to increase the amount of oxygen delivered to red blood cells, which then deliver more oxygen to the tissues and organs in the body.

Providing more oxygen to the body can help to:

• increase circulation

• strengthen the immune system

• purify the bloodstream

• stimulate white blood cells

• improve varicose veins

• increase resistance to infections

• protect against cells mutation and cancer formation

With IV ozone therapy, a sample of your blood is drawn, mixed with ozone, and then infused back into your body using an IV drip. Since everyone is different, the ideal ozone dose will depend on you and your needs.

Ozone therapy has been shown to help with numerous conditions, including arthritis, viral diseases, macular degeneration, ischemic heart disease, and cancer.

Supercharge IV Ozone Therapy with Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI)

An addition to IV ozone therapy is ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI), which weakens bacteria and viruses in the bloodstream by exposing the blood to ultraviolet light.

One of the greatest benefits of UBI is that it can address hidden, lingering, or drug-resistant viral or bacterial infections.

Many scientists compare the benefits offered by UBI regarding protection against infection to those provided by a vaccine, with added benefits to the immune system and body that include:

• improved metabolism

• reduced tissue pain

• increased immune response

• cardiovascular protection

• increased infection resistance

• increased homeostasis

• improve circulation

• stimulate red blood cells

IV Ozone therapy and UBI can drastically improve your health when used together; UBI destroys any viruses or bacteria in the bloodstream, and IV ozone therapy helps improve your body’s overall functioning and health.

To further understand these benefits, for acute infections or for those who are frequently sick, UBI can help to destroy any lingering pathogens in the blood, while IV ozone therapy helps to strengthen the immune system and assists the body as it initiates a secondary immune response. 

Ozone therapy can also help with autoimmune diseases because of its ability to regulate the immune system and prevent it from overreacting and attacking itself.

Try Ozone Therapy With UBI

Combined, IV ozone therapy and UBI can dramatically assist the immune system, no matter what is causing your illness. For those with chronic conditions or injuries, this combination treatment may be the solution your body needs to once again function as it should.

If you are interested in seeing the benefits IV ozone therapy combined with UBI can offer you and your health, Call or text: 888-MY-IVPRO (888-694-8776) for a free consultation today.

Health Maintenance with IV Therapy

IV therapy offers a way to infuse the nutrients your body needs for optimal functioning directly into the bloodstream, offering a range of benefits.

By injecting these nutrients right into your blood, they are able to bypass the digestive system, which typically destroys a good amount of oral supplements. This means that injections allow more nutrients to be delivered to your cells, thus providing a greater benefit for your well-being.

At IV-Profusion, we offer many types of IV drip therapies that address a range of needs. So, whether you want to fight aging in your complexion, support your gut health, or boost your hydration, there is an IV solution for you.

When used regularly to maintain your health, IV drips can offer many benefits, such as:

Preventive Measures for Long-Term Health Issues

IV infusions can help to prevent conditions that may cause health concerns over time. For example, the Weight Loss Pro+ IV drip can help you detoxify your body and boost metabolism to help you burn fat. With obesity as a risk factor for many conditions, this IV drip can help to reduce your risk of future health complications.

IV drip therapies can also contain a cocktail of vitamins that help to improve immunity, such as our Immunity and Pro Relief+ IV drip. The vitamins included in this IV drip support the immune system, helping to prevent infections and diseases from developing and promoting long-term health.

Maintaining Vitality

Many of the vitamins and minerals included in IV infusions help to improve your overall well-being, fighting the complications of aging and making you feel as though you are in a younger body. When taken regularly, they show the greatest success in maintaining vitality.

For those looking for an overall wellness cocktail that maintains energy levels and keeps up your well-being, the Myer’s Cocktail helps to reduce inflammation, combat fatigue, and decrease body pains so that you can live your best life.

Aging

Aging is promoted in the body by toxins and free radicals, which damage cells and DNA. However, antioxidants are a key player in fighting free radicals, which means they can also help to fight the signs of aging and protect against age-related diseases.

Glutathione, in particular, is an antioxidant that has been shown to help with symptoms due to aging-associated conditions such as fatty liver disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Other IV infusions, such as our Ageless Pro+, contain compounds that help to stimulate collagen production, reducing fine lines and the outward appearances of aging. 

Mental Degradation

IV drips that focus on supporting the brain are key for those looking to fight mental degradation. Our Brain Fuel Pro+ IV drip features nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which plays a vital role in optimizing cognitive health by providing energy to our brain cells. This then improves our focus and energy.

NAD has also shown promise in counteracting the processes of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Fatigue

Fatigue is something that can affect us all from time to time, making it impossible to accomplish anything on your to-do list.

For those who need an energy boost, B-12 vitamins can be added to your IV drip to give you an extra burst of energy and fight the fatigue weighing you down.

Try IV Therapy to Maintain Your Health

For those looking to improve their health, IV drip therapy offers a way to deliver optimal therapy to the cells in your body. With the many IV therapy options and the ability to customize your treatment, IV-Profusion helps to ensure that your health is maintained in the long term.

MIC is an acronym for L-Methionine, Inositol, and Choline. These are lipotropic medications that help the body break down fat throughout the metabolic process. These injections are sometimes known as "fat-burning injections" in weight loss clinics.

Medically supervised weight loss programs involve using MIC injections as an additional therapy for patients who are on a very low calorie diet (VLCD).

Due to the Clean Start weight loss treatment's high-fat content, lipotropic injections are necessary to help remove fat from the liver.

Cyanocobalamin, a fat-burning substance, is included in the MIC injections of some quick hormone-based weight loss treatments. Patients can also add B6 and B12 injections to their MIC injection regimen as an alternative.

L-Methionine

Amino acids are the most important components of proteins and can not be produced by the body, and L-methionine is one of them. It can be found in meat, poultry, fish, and other meals.

In addition to being provided intravenously or ingested as a supplement, L-Methionine can be found in different foodstuffs, including meat and milk, green vegetables, potatoes, sesame seeds, and Brazil nuts.

L-Methionine is an amino acid that is beneficial in treating liver illness and is a supplement that is advised for vegetarians.

L-Methionine aids in weight management by assisting the body in breaking down and eliminating fat. It is an essential amino acid in creating taurine and cysteine, both of which aid in eliminating toxins from the body.

Inositol

However, Inositol was formerly considered part of the vitamin B complex because of its carbohydrate nature. For this reason, it isn't considered a "conventional" vitamin. Inositol basically breaks down fatty acids paired with other B complex vitamins benefiting weight loss.

An infusion of inositol and other chemicals are known to aid in fat metabolisms, such as choline, generates lecithin.

Choline

The liver produces choline, an essential nutrient, but most people do not have enough to meet their needs.

Although it is not a natural B vitamin, it is frequently combined with inositol in the B complex of vitamins.

Choline is necessary for the kidneys, liver, and gallbladder to function appropriately.

Choline aids in cleansing the liver's metabolic processes when used as part of a weight loss program. Choline is needed for fat metabolism.

Soybeans and eggs and beef liver, cabbage, tofu, and almonds are two of our greatest choline-rich foods.

Specific components of a MIC injection have been demonstrated to improve mental function and reduce symptoms of depression.

MIC injections are usually given once a week for the duration of a successful physician-supervised weight loss program.

Do They Work?

The science of MIC injections assist the liver in processing fat cells that the body has already broken down; however, they do not directly decompose fat cells.

By having MIC injections either once-twice a week while dieting, the person can lose an additional 1-2 pounds each week while on a diet. In addition to the benefits indicated below, patients have reported enhanced levels of energy and improved cognitive function while following their dietary regimen.

Weight loss programs have been using MIC injections for more than three decades with great success, because of its safety and effectiveness. Several "B" essential vitamins and other critical amino acids in the MIC formulation are not widely available in the food or synthesized by the human body. It is not dangerous to use MIC injections in diet regimens to jump-start weight loss and improve weight loss performance because MIC injections do provide energy in the face of reduced caloric intake.

MIC shots contain nutrients that play a crucial part in the body's fat-burning activities, which is why they're so popular. The liver and gallbladder benefit from these compounds' fat-burning and fat-removal properties, reducing fat storage and increasing fat metabolism.

What makes up a MIC Injection?

Methionine: By eliminating toxic substances from the body and breaking down fat deposits, it aids the digestive system and prevents fat accumulation in the arteries. It is also possible for methionine to be turned into cytosine, which is the precursor to glutathione, which is required to cleanse the liver.

Inositol: It aids in the cellular movement of nutrients and the maintenance of appropriate electrical energy throughout the cell membrane. Inositol also aids in the establishment of healthy cell membranes, which facilitates nerve impulses by converting fats into other beneficial kinds of energy.

Choline: The cell membranes of the cells are maintained in a healthy state, which helps reduce cholesterol levels and prevents weight gain. Choline is essential for appropriate cell membrane function and structure and has been connected to be directly associated with nervous system maintenance and a memory aid. A precursor to betaine, choline aids liver function and synthesizes acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter.

B vitamins and L-Carnitine are also frequent constituents in MIC injections, which provide extra weight loss and health advantages.

Vitamin B1: In carbohydrates' metabolism, it acts as a catalyst.

Vitamin B2: Aids in the digestion of carbohydrates and fats.

Vitamin B3: helps the body turn nutrients into energy by acting as a cofactor. Cholesterol-lowering effects of vitamin B3 are also possible.

Safely accelerate your metabolism, recover faster from working out and quickly reach your weight loss goals with IV PROFUSION’S WEIGHT LOSS PRO+ IV DRIP! Not only does it include MIC but it also includes highly concentrated dose of lipid metabolizers, electrolytes and multivitamins.

Effective Therapy for Damaged Brain Cells

For years, psychologists have displayed a high percentage of people who have been suffering from mental health problems or other emotional problems, which is why the rate of consumption of psychotropic medication has shot up recently. Along with this, unprescribed or recreational drug consumption has increased as well. This includes the usage of cannabis, opiates, and other illicit drugs. We see how many people live with undiagnosed pathologies like hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, or Candida overgrowth that often cause mental health conditions such as insomnia, fatigue, depression, or anxiety. This leads them to consume these medications or drugs in order to reduce the symptoms. The problem then is that these medications cause the brain to alter chemically or even due to the stress of the symptoms.

In the past, neurologists didn't understand much about the brain and did not discover a lot of ways to help a damaged brain. At most, there was counseling and the hope that the brain would heal itself once it was removed from stressful situations or offensive substances. Luckily, neurologists recognized that the brain is made out of tissue, just like any other organ. This means that it reacts to any kind of chemical insult, excess water, or any other reactions that all organs have.

The brain is a fascinating organ that has the ability to adapt so that the brain can maintain neurological balance and control. This is why it is often compared to a spider web. If any area of the web is pulled, some deflections occur in order to make up for that pull in the rest on the web. Moreover, if this pull is pretty hard and long, these very deflections will maintain and become normal for the brain. This process is referred to as dependence but may be called burnout depending on the nature of these "pulls."

Everyone knows that drugs, alcohol, and tobacco have harmful effects on the brain. However, there are other things that could lead to this tissue being damaged. This includes autism, ADD or ADHD, PTSD, prolonged stress, insomnia, work burnout, concussions, or TBI (traumatic brain injury.)

Now, most of these non-drug causes, other than TBI, are a result of excess wear and premature failure of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, nicotinic acetylcholine, endocannabinoid, and some GABA systems. This is because these situations force one to struggle excessively in order to think clearly, deal with anxiety, and obtain the right amount of brain rest. This causes those mechanisms that help these functions to wear out due to the excessive demand every day that may be beyond what the tissue is designed to be capable of.

So, how does it work? Basically, medication, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, marijuana, and all other constituents of brain stress cause the overstimulation of neurotransmitter receptors in different ways so that one feels the effects of those substances. This unnatural stimulation causes receptors to be damaged, and as a result, the brain’s adaptive abilities cause the reduction of receptors and their receptivity as a whole; the process is called downregulation. The dependence and tolerance to harmful substances occur because of this very process.

The brain has not been designed to deal with these substances and their intensity for prolo periods. This is why this system of adaption and damage to the receptors keeps going even after the substance is no longer introduced. Luckily, some receptors like dopamine heal alright if substances are not used in large amounts for a long time. However, systems like the inhibitory GABA and endocannabinoid systems are the opposite. If they get damaged, it can take years to heal after the subspace is no longer abused.

After hearing about a long list of negative effects, coming across some positive ones is always great to hear. This is when the science behind intravenous NAD and amino acid combinations comes into play. These help the brain in repairing all of the damage that was forced into it, whether it was from physical trauma, drugs, or stress. In essence, NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is combined with the amino acids glycine, D-phenylalanine, L-threonine, L-phenylalanine, and L-alanyl or L-glutamine. This specific combination helps the brain heal itself speedily when these harmful substances are no longer introduced to the brain.

So, how can one treat the brain after it has gone through all of this damage? The first step is to address the common diagnoses that must be undertaken when people fall victim to substance abuse. This is done so that all of the causes of insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, and depression are treated, and no chemical imbalances remain in the body. Moreover, the brain should be treated with an infusion every day. First, it gets IV vitamins and minerals (Myer's cocktail), followed by IV glutathione w/ alpha-lipoic acid, and lastly, NAD +and amino acids in specific combinations. This process has been proven to assist in the healing of neurotransmitter systems. Effective counseling may also be needed so that the psychosocial aspects can be evaluated and addressed properly.

The brain is a phenomenal organ that is highly adaptive and does what it can to make pathways with everything available, even if it is held together with weak bonds. However, when substances are abused and introduced in large quantities, the brain seems to shut off and go back into repair mode as the infused materials begin calling for cellular repair and restoration of receptor sites. This allows many patients to get off medication pretty quickly, even if they have been dependent on it for years. Moreover, they experience less intense withdrawal symptoms that occur for shorter periods than the usual timespan.

Along with this, it has been identified that patients will notice higher functions coming back to them after three to six days of treatment. This includes social awareness, a sense of humor, memory, thought clarity, mental energy, and enthusiasm. This is a great indication as the patient will now be more responsive to advice and counseling so that they can improve their quality of life. The best part is that these changes in the brain are not encouraged due to drugs or any biological agents acting on the receptors. This is an actual repair process which means the changes are permanent as long as harmful substances are no longer introduced.

This individual treatment approach is carefully chosen based on the use of the substance, brain wear history, current, and past symptoms. Only eight to ten days are required for substances like alcohol, cannabis, or methamphetamine. On the other hand, benzodiazepines such as Xanax, Valium, Ativan, or Klonopin, or patients who abuse multiple substances may require treatment for up to 18 days.

The treatment has been consistently successful when it comes to all mind-altering substances like nicotine, antidepressants, alcohol, opiates, methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, or stimulants such as Adderall. It has also proven to work great with most non-drug situations that result in damage like severe insomnia, PTSD, ADD or ADHD, autism, prolonged emotional stress, work burnout, and concussions.

Work burnout, ADD or ADHD, or any other states that result in the wear of the brain tissue respond more quickly than the abuse of substances. This is because direct chemical insult is far less in this case.

One of the best parts about using the IV-Profusion’s NAD+ with amino acids formulas is that the treatment can be altered according to the patient's brain condition. It is divided into four different combinations that affect different parts of the brain, so the combinations and dosage can be altered accordingly. This dispersion is introduced because it allows different neurotransmitter systems to be targeted directly by these formulas so that the result is more complete compared to using NAD alone.
