Anti aging, Beauty treatments, & Immunity boosting
Skin treatments for beauty are very popular, particularly, noninvasive facelift treatments known as Ultherapy. Ultherapy uses ultrasound to target the body’s natural collagen proteins and stimulate the production of new collagen fibers. Collagen fibers are highly elastic which keep skin firm and preserve youthful looks. The ultrasound energy goes under the skin a few millimeters to safely heat the tissue, repair skin cells and stimulate collagen growth.
Other popular health and beauty treatments include:
- NAD and other IV treatments to help skin, boost immunity, neurological activity and energy.
- Limelight IPL (light energy pulses) to repair damaged skin for health and beauty.
