NAWI Wellness – More Than A Med Spa

April 30, 2024

This is a post about Med Spa vs. Day Spa, the different roles, and the services offered. We hope that you enjoy this post and find it to be informative.

What is a Day Spa?

A day spa is primarily focused on providing relaxation, pampering, and rejuvenation experiences. Day spas offer a variety of non-medical services such as massages, facials, body wraps, manicures, pedicures, and aromatherapy treatments. Day spas typically prioritize creating a tranquil and calming environment to help clients unwind and de-stress.

While day spas may offer some basic skincare treatments, their main emphasis is on relaxation and general well-being rather than medical or clinical procedures. Day spas may not have medical professionals on staff, and their services are often performed by licensed estheticians or massage therapists.

What is a Med Spa?

A Med Spa offers a wide range of medical grade, non-surgical aesthetic treatments, performed by medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, or licensed aestheticians. Med spas focus on more advanced and result-oriented treatments designed to address specific skin and body concerns, issues related to aging, and personal wellness issues. The atmosphere may be relaxing and comfortable, but it will likely feel more clinical compared to a day spa. Med spas typically focus on specific treatments and the results from those treatments.

Services at a Med Spa might include skin treatments, like hydrafacials, injectables (such as Botox and dermal fillers), chemical peels, and microneedling. Other services at a Med Spa might include laser skin treatments, like BBL Hero, Moxi Laser, Laser Genesis, or Juliet Erbium Laser. Some med spas will also offer non-surgical weight loss and body sculpting with popular treatments such as Semaglutide, UltraSlim, Trusculpt, or Truflex. Finally, personal wellness services might be offered. These services might include Hormone Replacement Therapy and Vaginal Rejuvenation.

Is there Overlap between Day Spa and Med Spa?

Yes, it is quite possible for a Day Spa to still offer Med Spa treatments and vice versa. Increasingly, med spa treatments are offered by a wide variety of medical professionals, including dermatologists, plastic surgery offices, and even dental offices. As a client, it’s sometimes very confusing.

Regardless of the name of the business, there are several key questions that you, the client, might ask to help make the best selection. First and foremost, does the business you’re considering have a good reputation? Look at their online reviews. Do they have reviews from trusted sources, like Google or Facebook? If the reviews are not recent, not glowing, and/or not relevant to the treatment you’re seeking, that particular business may not be your best choice.

Next, try to discern whether the treatment you’re seeking is a mainstream service of that business, or just a side-line. You can do this by looking at their website to determine their main focus and their range of services offered. If the treatment you’re seeking appears to be a side-line, there are specific issues that might impact your experience and your results. For example, a side-line service may not employ the most up-to-date technologies, administered by the best and most-skilled people, and the results may not be the best possible.

Is NAWI Wellness a Med Spa?

Collagen Renewal – Your Virtual Fountain of Youth!

February 3, 2024

Women with great collagen

As you age, you might worry that your skin makes you look older than you are. Don’t worry!! Let collagen renewal become your virtual fountain of youth. This post is intended to provide useful information. We hope you find it interesting and useful.

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein that provides structure, firmness, and elasticity to various tissues in the body, including the skin, bones, tendons, and cartilage. Starting in our 20s, we lose on average of 1 to 2% of our collagen per year. For women this can accelerate during the first five years of menopause leading to an additional 30% loss of collagen. A woman turning 60 may have lost 60 to 70% of her youthful collagen. This leads to thin skin, fine lines, and wrinkles, which makes you look older than your actual age.

Impact of Aging on Collagen

Collagen loss is a natural part of the aging process, but how does it impact the skin?

In addition to decreased production, the collagen fibers become disorganized and fragmented over time, leading to a decrease in skin elasticity and firmness. This is why aging skin often appears less firm and more prone to wrinkles and sagging. As the fibers age, they undergo a process called cross-linking, where the fibers become stiffer and less flexible. This can also contribute to the development of wrinkles and a loss of skin elasticity.

Other factors, when combined with age, can significantly affect collagen. Environmental factors such as sunlight (UV radiation), pollution, and smoking can accelerate collagen degradation. UV radiation, in particular, damages collagen fibers and inhibits the production of new collagen. Glycation is a process where sugar molecules bind to collagen fibers, leading to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs can contribute to collagen stiffness and loss of elasticity, accelerating the aging process. Hormonal changes associated with aging, such as decreased estrogen levels in women during menopause, can affect collagen production and lead to changes in skin structure and elasticity. Finally, diet plays a role in collagen synthesis. Nutrient deficiencies, particularly in vitamins C and E, zinc, and copper, can impair collagen production and contribute to skin aging.

Why Do I Need Collagen Renewal?

Collagen renewal can become your virtual fountain of youth! Renewal helps to maintain skin hydration, smoothness, and resilience, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging associated with aging. Most importantly, you’ll recover that youthful glow!

How to Protect and Renew

Use sunscreen to minimize UV damage, avoid excessive sun exposure, and protect your skin from harsh environmental elements.
Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is crucial for skin health. Drink an adequate amount of water to keep your skin hydrated.
Utilize skin treatments: There are several effective treatments recommended by the NAWI Wellness Center, including Secret RF Microneedling, Juliet Erbium Skin Laser Treatment, and Sculptra Collagen treatment to enhance your skin’s collagen.

Make an Appointment at NAWI Wellness Center

Understanding Cellulite Treatment

January 27, 2024

Cellulite

Cellulite is a common cosmetic concern characterized by the dimpled or lumpy appearance of the skin, particularly in areas with underlying fat deposits. It is most commonly found on the thighs, buttocks, and sometimes on the abdomen and arms. Cellulite occurs when fat deposits beneath the skin push through the connective tissue, creating a dimpled or puckered effect on the surface.

Several factors contribute to the development of cellulite, including genetics, hormones, lifestyle factors, and age. While cellulite is not harmful to one’s health, many individuals seek ways to reduce its appearance for cosmetic reasons.

Cellulite Myths and Realities:

Myth: Only overweight individuals have cellulite. Reality: Cellulite can affect individuals of all body types, including those who are lean and physically fit. Genetic and hormonal factors play a significant role.

Myth: Cellulite is solely a result of excess fat. Reality: While excess fat can contribute to cellulite, it’s not the only factor. Connective tissue and collagen structure also play a role in the appearance of cellulite.

Myth: Creams and lotions can eliminate cellulite completely. Reality: While certain creams and lotions may temporarily improve the skin’s appearance, there is no conclusive evidence that they can eliminate cellulite permanently. A holistic approach is essential.

Cellulite Treatment Approaches

Treatment approaches for cellulite vary, and their effectiveness can vary from person to person. Common methods used to address cellulite are Lifestyle changes, Topical Treatments, and Wellness Treatments.

Lifestyle Changes:

Diet: A healthy, balanced diet that includes whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins may help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Exercise: Regular physical activity, including both cardiovascular exercise and strength training, can improve muscle tone and help minimize the appearance of cellulite.

Topical Treatments:

Various creams and lotions are marketed as cellulite treatments, but their effectiveness is limited and the results are temporary. These products may contain ingredients like caffeine, retinol, or antioxidants.

Massage and Dry Brushing: Massage techniques or dry brushing intend to reduce the appearance of cellulite by stimulating blood flow. There is little or no evidence that these techniques are effective.

Wellness Treatments:

Laser Therapy: Laser treatments target the fibrous bands beneath the skin. This stimulates collagen production, leading to improved skin texture.

Radiofrequency Treatments: These treatments use radiofrequency energy to heat the skin and underlying tissue, promoting collagen production and tightening the skin.

Injectable Treatments: Injectables that contain deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine are used to break down fat and improve the appearance of cellulite.

Recommended Cellulite Treatments at NAWI Wellness Center

Treatment of Cellulite at NAWI starts with a no-obligation consultation. Dr. Dean and the NAWI team will evaluate your health and body condition relative to your goals to recommend the best, most effective treatment for you.

Pre-Laser Hair Removal

September 12, 2023

Preparation for permanent laser hair removal is an important part of the treatment process and enhances the treatment’s effectiveness. This article explains permanent laser hair removal and the preparation process.

Relief from Unwanted Hair

Unwanted hair can be a persistent issue, often requiring frequent maintenance through shaving, waxing, or plucking. These methods, while effective for short-term hair removal, can be time-consuming and may result in skin irritation or ingrown hairs. At NAWI Wellness Center, located in Naples, FL, we offer a more lasting solution through laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal is a treatment that employs concentrated beams of light to target hair follicles. Utilizing advanced technology and medical expertise, we aim to provide a treatment that is not only effective but also tailored to you.

What Is Permanent Laser Hair Removal

Traditional methods of hair reduction like shaving and waxing often fall short. These methods merely cut or remove the hair above the skin level or temporarily remove the hair without addressing the follicle, which means regrowth is inevitable. Laser hair removal, on the other hand, targets the hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface. This makes it a more effective method for achieving lasting hair reduction. We use focused laser technology to provide an effective treatment tailored to your specific hair and skin type.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal services involve applying a concentrated beam of light to the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and generates heat, which in turn disrupts the growth cycle of the hair. Laser hair removal services can permanently alter these hair follicles, which means you can enjoy hair-free skin for much longer.

Why Shaving Is Necessary Part of Pre-Laser Hair Removal

Shorter Hair Allows for More Accurate Laser Targeting

Having shorter hair in the treatment area enables the laser hair removal equipment to work more accurately. Long hair can scatter the laser light, making it less effective at targeting the follicles beneath the skin. When the hair is short, the laser can more directly focus on the pigment within the follicles, increasing the likelihood of a successful treatment.

Less Surface Hair Minimizes Risks

With longer hairs present on the skin’s surface, there’s a greater risk of external burning or irritation. The laser energy might interact with the surface hair, leading to adverse effects. Shaving before your hair reduction treatment can protect your skin by keeping the laser energy away from the skin’s surface and directing it more accurately toward the hair follicles underneath.

Improved Efficiency

Shorter hair also contributes to the overall efficiency of the treatment. Reduced hair length allows for quicker session times, as the laser can move smoothly over the skin. This enhances the laser hair removal results by increasing the effectiveness of each session, potentially reducing the total number of sessions you may need.

Can I Use Other Hair Removal Methods Before Laser Treatments?

Before receiving a laser treatment at NAWI Wellness Center, it’s important to understand that not all hair removal methods are compatible with the laser treatment. In particular, methods like waxing and using depilatory creams should be avoided. Here’s why:

Waxing

Waxing removes hair from the root, leaving the follicle empty. This poses a challenge for professional laser hair removal because the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle. With the follicle empty, the laser has nothing to target, making the treatment less effective. Moreover, waxing can also cause irritation or alter the skin’s texture, which might affect the success and safety of the laser treatment.

Depilatory Creams

Similar to waxing, depilatory creams also interfere with laser hair removal. These creams work by breaking down the hair structure, again making it difficult for the laser to target the pigment in the follicles. Furthermore, depilatory creams can leave chemical residues on the skin, which might react with the laser and result in skin irritation or burns.

What Other Things Should I Avoid Pre-Laser Hair Removal?

Tanning or Sun Exposure: Exposure to the sun or tanning beds can make your skin more sensitive and can make the treatment less effective. You’ll want to avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure for at least two weeks before your scheduled appointment.
Exfoliation Products: Using scrubs, acids, or any other skin exfoliation products can make your skin sensitive. Sensitive skin may react adversely to the laser, so it’s best to avoid these types of products in your laser hair removal prep.
Hair Bleach: Bleaching your hair alters its pigment, making it harder for the laser to target the follicles effectively. For professional laser hair removal, it’s recommended to avoid hair bleach prior to your treatment.
Retinoids and Other Irritants: Using skin products that contain irritants like retinoids can make your skin more sensitive to the laser. For a smoother laser hair removal service, you may want to stop using such products at least a week before your appointment.

Preparations for Laser Hair Removal

4 Weeks Before: Stop Other Hair Removal Methods

In preparation for your laser hair removal treatment, it’s important to cease all other forms of hair removal, like waxing or depilatory creams, at least four weeks before your appointment. This ensures that the hair follicles are intact and can be effectively targeted by the laser.

2 Weeks Before: Start Limiting Sun Exposure

About two weeks before your laser hair removal, begin limiting your exposure to the sun. This helps to minimize the risk of complications or skin irritation during the treatment.

24-48 Hours Before: Shave the Area

As part of your laser hair removal prep, shave the area to be treated between 24 and 48 hours before your scheduled session. This allows for more accurate laser targeting and minimizes potential risks.

Immediately Prior: Prepare Your Skin

On the day of your treatment, make sure your skin is clean and free from makeup or lotions. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing will help you achieve the best laser hair removal results and make the experience as smooth as possible.

Let NAWI Wellness Center Help You

Preparing adequately for your laser hair removal treatment enhances the treatment’s effectiveness.

Medical Weight Loss Benefits

September 12, 2023

Medical weight loss has many benefits. This article talks about the challenges of weight loss and how medical weight loss can help.

Losing weight can be difficult for many people, despite efforts with diet and exercise. It’s not uncommon to hit roadblocks or encounter challenges that make the process feel overwhelming. This is where the role of professional guidance becomes invaluable. At NAWI Wellness Center, located in Naples, FL, we specialize in providing weight loss solutions that go beyond what typical med spas or weight loss clinics offer. With the use of advanced technologies and our extensive expertise, we provide practical and effective treatments for weight management.

Turning to NAWI Wellness gives you access to individualized plans grounded in medical research and tried-and-true methodologies. This professional guidance helps you navigate the complexities of weight loss, enabling you to reach your goals in a more focused way.

The Complexity of Weight Loss

Weight loss may seem simple — eat less and exercise more — but the reality is far more complex. Factors like metabolism, hormones, lifestyle, and emotional well-being can all impact your ability to lose weight. These intricacies often make generic approaches to weight loss less effective.

Weight loss services take all of these factors into consideration. A well-designed weight loss program provides a comprehensive approach that takes into account these variables. Through medical assessments and tailored plans, a multi-faceted strategy addresses the complexities that often make weight loss challenging.

What Is Medical Weight Loss Clinic?

Medical weight loss is where you can turn to when weight loss has become too difficult on your own. It combines the expertise of doctors and other medical staff that can get to the bottom of why weight loss may be hard for you. The NAWI Wellness Center team can provide you both with the tools you need for weight management along with the support you need to continue with your plan.

Why Consider Medical Weight Loss?

Faster Weight Loss Results

One of the key advantages of a medical approach to weight loss is the potential for faster results. Unlike conventional methods, a medically supervised program may incorporate weight loss medication that can accelerate fat loss and curb appetite. These medications, coupled with a tailored diet and exercise plan, can offer a more expedited path to reaching your weight goals.

Weight Loss is Overseen by a Doctor

Another significant benefit is medical supervision. At a weight loss clinic, your progress is monitored by healthcare professionals who can make real-time adjustments to your program. This allows for a more dynamic and effective approach to weight loss, ensuring that you are following a plan optimized for your specific health needs. This also ensures that the weight loss program is not impacting your overall health and welfare.

Non-Surgical Weight Loss Reduces Risks

While surgical options for weight loss exist, they often come with risks and longer recovery times. The advantage of weight loss services like ours is that they focus on weight loss management through non-surgical means. This can include medication, diet plans, and exercise regimens, all designed to provide a safer, less invasive route to weight loss.

Long-Lasting Weight Loss Results

Medical weight loss programs are designed to be long-lasting. The aim is not just to help you shed pounds quickly but to ensure that the weight stays off. By focusing on lifestyle changes and ongoing support, a medical approach to weight loss ensures that you are better equipped to maintain your results over the long term.

What Can the NAWI Wellness Center Provide?

Tailored Weight Loss Plans and Medical Assessments

A medical weight loss clinic offers individualized plans that consider your unique needs and challenges. Through thorough medical assessments, healthcare professionals can pinpoint factors hindering your weight loss progress, allowing for a targeted approach that stands a higher chance of success.

Weight Loss Accountability and Motivation

Effective weight management often requires a strong support system. NAWI Wellness Center provides ongoing accountability and motivation, helping you stay on track even when faced with obstacles. Regular check-ins and guidance from experts contribute to your overall journey toward a healthier lifestyle.

Access to Professional Knowledge and Tools about Weight Loss

Using the expertise of the team at NAWI Wellness Center, you can gain access to a wealth of professional knowledge and specialized tools. These resources are designed to enhance your weight loss management, offering strategies and techniques that go beyond what’s typically available.

Prescription Weight Loss Medication

In some cases, injections for weight loss, such as Semaglutide, can play an important role in your weight management plan. The NAWI Wellness Center can provide medications such as weight loss injections that, when used under medical supervision, can aid in curbing appetite and boosting fat loss.

Advice and Support Regarding Lifestyle Changes for Weight Loss

Sustainable weight loss involves more than just temporary changes. Weight loss clinics offer guidance and support to help you make lasting lifestyle changes. This holistic approach can help ensure that the habits you develop during the program can contribute to your long-term success.

Medical Weight Loss at NAWI Wellness Center

Detailed Consultation and Testing

We begin your weight loss journey with a comprehensive consultation and thorough testing process. This initial step allows us to customize your program, taking into account factors that influence your progress. Through this assessment, we can determine whether weight loss medication might be a suitable addition to your strategy so that your plan is uniquely suited to your needs.

Semaglutide Injections

Our wellness center offers cutting-edge solutions like Semaglutide for effective weight loss. Semaglutide for weight loss is designed to aid in appetite control and fat reduction. Under the guidance of Dr. Dean and the NAWI team, Semaglutide injections can be integrated into your plan to enhance the results you achieve through your efforts. This treatment is effective for everyone!

Experience the benefits of our UltraSlim technology, a non-invasive approach to weight loss. This innovative method utilizes advanced light therapy techniques to target stubborn fat, promoting inch loss and a more contoured appearance. Through UltraSlim, you can witness the transformation of your body as you progress along your weight loss journey.

HCG Diet Weight Loss

HCG Diet Weight Loss Treatment is a very effective weight loss program with an average of ½ lb to 1 lb per day. You’ll have decreased hunger and an increased metabolism with no loss of muscle. The HCG diet protocol works by telling the hypothalamus to release your stored body fat. A daily small amount of HCG hormone can cause your stored body fat to be released. This diet is effective for everyone!

Diet and Exercise Support and Education

Our approach to medical weight loss encompasses more than just interventions. We believe in providing you with the tools and knowledge needed to make sustainable changes. Our weight loss program offers comprehensive diet and exercise support, along with educational resources that empower you to understand and manage your weight effectively. With our guidance, you can make informed choices and develop habits that contribute to your long-term success.

Benefits of Body Sculpting | NAWI Naples

April 20, 2023

In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the benefits of body sculpting treatment. This will help you to better understand why more people are turning towards non-invasive procedures as an alternative to surgical treatments.

Body sculpting is a very effective method for achieving a toned and healthy body. This will help you get rid of stubborn areas of fat and will improve your muscle definition without using drugs or surgery. You will find that body sculpting also helps increase the effectiveness of your diet, exercise routine, and overall self-care.

What Is Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting refers to reshaping and toning the body to achieve a more desirable physical appearance. Non-surgical body sculpting is sometimes called non-invasive body contouring. This means that body sculpting does not require incisions, anesthesia, or surgery to remove unwanted fat and shape the body.

Non-surgical body sculpting typically involves using various technologies that target fat cells beneath the skin’s surface, such as ultrasound, radiofrequency, or cryolipolysis. These technologies break down and eliminate fat cells, which are naturally removed from the body over time.

What Are the Benefits of Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting, also known as body contouring, can provide various benefits for individuals interested in improving their appearance. Some of the benefits of body sculpting include:

Improved Body Shape

Body sculpting treatments can help to remove excess fat and skin from specific areas of the body, resulting in a more toned, defined, and attractive appearance.

Long-Lasting Results

Body sculpting treatments can provide long-lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise.

Improved Health

Body sculpting can reduce the risk of obesity-related health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

Personalized Treatment

Body sculpting procedures can be tailored to the individual needs and goals of each patient, ensuring that they achieve the desired results safely and effectively.

Non-Invasive Treatment

Non-surgical body sculpting is non-invasive. Surgical procedures, such as lipo-suction, usually requires incisions, anesthesia, and a lengthy recovery time.

Minimal Discomfort

Non-surgical body sculpting treatments are painless and require little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately.

What Are Some Of The Body Sculpting Procedures NAWI Provides?

NAWI Wellness offers a variety of body sculpting procedures to help you achieve the physique you desire.

TruSculpt ID

TruSculpt ID is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment that uses radiofrequency technology to target and destroy fat cells in specific body areas. The procedure is designed to reduce fat and contour the body without surgery or downtime. The treatment is typically done in a series of sessions and can be used on various body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, and arms.

TruSculpt Flex

TruSculpt Flex is a non-invasive muscle sculpting treatment that uses electrical stimulation to tone and strengthens muscles in specific body areas. The procedure simulates natural muscle contractions to help increase muscle mass and improve muscle definition. The treatment is typically done in a series of sessions and can be used on various body areas, including the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.

Ultraslim

UltraSlim is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses red light therapy. This targets and reduces fat in specific body areas. The procedure is designed to stimulate the body’s natural metabolic processes to release fat from cells. The result is reduced fat in the treated area. The treatment is painless, quick, and does not require any downtime.

Different Types of Dermal Fillers | NAWI Wellness Center

April 20, 2023

If you’re considering getting dermal fillers for a more youthful, refreshed appearance, NAWI Wellness Center in Naples, FL can offer you the best and most innovative treatment available. Our practice specializes in helping clients create a natural look that restores volume, fills wrinkles and folds, and plumps lips or cheeks – all without surgery or significant downtime. The NAWI Team are experts at helping you, our clients, define their unique beauty with an individualized approach to aesthetic treatments.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are becoming an increasingly popular cosmetic treatment among those seeking a non-surgical solution to aging skin. Made from materials such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid, these injectables are designed to add volume and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines in the face.

Dermal fillers are commonly used to enhance features such as the lips, cheeks, and chin and to fill in hollow areas beneath the eyes and around the mouth. Additionally, they can help smooth out wrinkles and lines in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the mouth and nose. When administered by a qualified professional, dermal fillers can provide a safe and effective way to achieve a rejuvenated, youthful-looking appearance.

What Are Some of the Different Types of Dermal Fillers We Have Available?

Let’s review the different types of fillers offered by the NAWI Wellness Center and how they restore your skin’s youthfulness and restore your personal beauty.

Juvederm

This is a hyaluronic acid-based filler designed to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines on the face and add volume to areas like the cheeks and lips. It is a versatile filler that can be used for multiple areas of the face.

Juvederm Ultra

This is a slightly thicker formulation of Juvederm that is designed to provide more dramatic results. It is often used for deeper wrinkles and folds and adds volume to areas like the cheeks and lips.

Juvederm Ultra Plus

This is an even thicker Juvederm formulation designed for the most severe wrinkles and folds, as well as for facial volume loss. It is often used in the nasolabial folds (lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines (lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin).

Juvederm Volbella

This is a thinner Juvederm formulation specifically designed for the lips. It can be used to add volume, enhance the shape of the lips, and smooth out fine lines around the mouth.

Juvederm Voluma

This hyaluronic acid-based filler is designed to add volume to the cheeks and midface area. It can help restore a more youthful, lifted appearance to the face.

Restylane

Restylane is a line of hyaluronic acid-based fillers that can be used to add volume to the cheeks and lips and fill in wrinkles and lines. The Restylane line includes several different formulations, each designed to treat specific areas of the face.

Kysse

Restylane Kysse is a newer formulation of Restylane designed explicitly for lip enhancement. It is designed to provide natural-looking results and can add volume, shape, and definition to the lips.

Refyne

Restylane Refyne is a hyaluronic acid-based filler designed to provide a natural-looking result while effectively reducing wrinkles and lines. It is a good choice for patients who want to improve their appearance more subtly.

Defyne

Restylane Defyne is a thicker formulation of Restylane that is used for deeper wrinkles and folds. It is designed to provide natural-looking results and can treat areas such as the nasolabial folds (lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines (lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin).

Kybella

Kybella is not precisely a dermal filler, but it is an injectable treatment used to reduce the appearance of submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps break down and absorb fat. When injected into the submental area, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a more defined jawline.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid-based injectable treatment that stimulates collagen production in the skin. Sculptra triggers the body’s natural healing response when injected, increasing collagen production. This increased collagen production can help to improve skin texture and tone, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and restore facial volume. Unlike other dermal fillers, the results of Sculptra are gradual and may take several months to develop fully.

What Makes You a Candidate for Any of These Treatments?

If you’re interested in exploring dermal filler treatments, the key to determining whether you’re a candidate is through a consultation with a member of the NAWI Team. Factors like your skin type, age, and cosmetic goals are all crucial factors that will be considered.

During the consultation, a NAWI team member will assess your skin, identify any areas of concern, and make recommendations based on your unique needs. With a tailored treatment plan, you can feel confident that you’re getting the proper treatment to help you achieve your desired results.

Unlike traditional weight loss programs that depend on your ability to commit and follow through, medical weight management offers support throughout the whole process. Your first step towards your goals is an initial consultation.

During this consultation, we will learn more about your areas of concern and discuss your desired goals. This will help us design a treatment plan that suits your lifestyle and unique needs.

The second phase of the process is behavior modification. Changing your behavior is one of the most effective methods to lose weight. You will gain weight when you take in more energy than your body needs. Weight loss occurs when you use more energy than you consume. The goal of this phase is to adjust your key behaviors that influence eating habits and activity levels.

The third step towards achieving your goals is through weight loss medication. Weight loss medication helps your body to burn extra energy quicker. Weight loss medication will complement your weight loss diet and exercise plan rather than replace it. We will monitor the use of medication throughout your weight loss journey and ensure that you benefit from it.

How Does It Differ From Regular Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a highly effective way to lose weight. It has a higher success rate than regular weight loss methods. Here are a few reasons to consider medical weight loss:

Professional Planning

A trained physician will create a weight loss plan unique to your needs.

Patient-Focused

Your personalized plan will fit your particular goals, preferences, and lifestyle to help you be more successful.

Easy to Follow

Because the treatment plan is unique, it will be easier to commit to and follow through with, resulting in your goals being achieved.

Support

The NAWI team will support you through the whole process, from creating a treatment plan to monitoring your progress and results. This means that you have professional medical advice at your fingertips.

Medical Weight Loss Solutions

Semaglutide

We offer injections for weight loss, including Semaglutide. This is effective when combined with a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet. This injectable provides results within the first two weeks after the initial injection.

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved hormone that alters your appetite and digestion. It is naturally released by your body after you have eaten. Additional injections of this hormone slows the rate of digestion and tells your body that you are full, reducing your appetite and calorie intake, which results in weight loss.

UltraSlim

UltraSlim offers rapid fat loss after just one treatment session. It is FDA-approved for body contouring. The results you can achieve with UltraSlim are more dramatic than alternative treatments. A great advantage is that there is no downtime or invasive incisions.

UltraSlim utilizes red light to tell your body to release stored fat cells. This treatment is highly effective and very quick. Within a few days of using UltraSlim, your lymphatic system will start to flush out the fat cells, resulting in weight loss.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

March 16, 2023

In the day and age that we live in, there are very effective ways to reduce the signs of wrinkles. NAWI Wellness, Naples, FL offers wide range of non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments with long-lasting, natural-looking results. If you are interested in dermal fillers, call or visit us to schedule a consultation.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment that targets skin concerns, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Dermal fillers can also tighten loose skin and restore volume loss. This group of non-surgical cosmetic treatments has a wide variety of options to choose from that all treat different areas of concern.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

Dermal fillers have been changing the way people see skin care for many years. This cosmetic treatment offers long-lasting results to people of most skin types and skin tones. Dermal fillers are highly effective due to their active ingredient, hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the connective tissue that surrounds your eyes. Injectable fillers work at deeper layers of your skin to reduce the signs of aging by stimulating collagen production and other essential chemicals. Dermal fillers target the source of your skin concern, unlike alternative treatments.

The duration of the results you achieve with dermal fillers depends on your skin concerns and the type of filler used. Typically, you can enjoy your healthy, smooth skin for up to two years. Thereafter, you can schedule follow-up treatments to continue enjoying the benefits of dermal fillers. Because dermal fillers are non-surgical, you don’t have to worry about extensive recovery periods and scarring after treatment. When your treatment session is complete, you can continue with your daily activities.

Types of Dermal Fillers

We offer a range of dermal fillers to suit your needs. Each injectable filler typically offers similar benefits. However, they each are designed to address specific skin concerns. Here are the choices you have:

The Juvéderm Collection

Juvéderm is a large group of dermal fillers. The group consists of fillers that are designed to treat specific skin concerns. Juvéderm is one of the most popular dermal fillers due to its versatility and effectiveness.

This collection is based on hyaluronic acid, which is a natural part of the human body. That results in a lower chance of allergic reactions.

Juvéderm can treat skin concerns, such as wrinkles, fine lines, thin lips, and volume loss. Additionally, Juvéderm products can last up to one year, making them a time-saving and cost-effective treatment option.

Juvéderm Voluma

As you age, your skin loses volume in your cheeks. This can give your face a tired and unhealthy appearance. Juvéderm Voluma is an innovative addition to the Juvéderm collection because it is designed to treat volume loss in your mid-face region. After your Voluma treatment session, you can expect immediate fullness in your cheeks. Due to the cross-linking technology and the thicker consistency of the gel, you can enjoy the results of this treatment for up to two years.

Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm Ultra Plus

Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm Ultra Plus are designed to treat fine lines on your mouth, nose, and eyes. This range can also be used for lip augmentation. Ultra typically produces softer, more subtle results, while Ultra Plus offers more dramatic results and treats deeper wrinkles. The results that you achieve with these fillers are natural-looking.

Juvéderm Volbella and Vollure

Volbella and Vollure each use cross-link technology similar to Voluma. However, the consistency of the gel is thinner. This makes it a more effective treatment for fine lines in your facial area and lip augmentation. You can enjoy results for up to eighteen months.

Restylane

Restylane also uses hyaluronic acid as an active ingredient, but the Restylane molecules are more granular, which produces longer-lasting results.

Refyne and Defyne for Facial Folds

These fillers are designed to treat facial folds around your mouth called marionette lines and nasolabial folds. Refyne is more effective for fine to moderate lines, while Defyne is more effective for severe wrinkles and folds. Both fillers offer natural-looking results.

Kysse for Lip Augmentation

Kysse uses XpresHAn technology. This filler produces natural-looking results. This treatment is designed to plump up and augment your lips. It can improve the shape and color of your lips while offering results for up to one year.

Kybella Treatment

A double chin can be the result of genetics, age, or weight gain. A regular exercise routine and healthy diet may not be effective against a double chin. If so, Kybella is perfect for you. Kybella uses deoxycholic acid, which helps to break down fat cells under your chin to eliminate the double chin.

Sculptra Collagen Treatment

The signs of aging may affect several areas of the body, such as your face and hands. Sculptra stimulates collagen production and restores underlying tissue giving the client a more youthful look. Sculptra can be combined with radiofrequency energy to achieve more dramatic and longer-lasting results. Click here for more information about Collagen Renewal.

Benefits of Body Sculpting | NAWI Wellness Center

February 27, 2023

Do you have stubborn fat that regular exercise and a balanced diet can’t remove? Learn more about the benefits of body sculpting in this article.

What is Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that eliminates unwanted fat from hard-to-reach areas of your body. Body sculpting can also help to tone your muscles and tighten your skin, which is especially effective at addressing visible signs of aging.

Types of Body Sculpting Procedures

There are various types of body sculpting treatments that use different methods to remove fat. Each method offers its own unique benefits. NAWI Wellness Center offers TruSculpt, TruSculpt Flex, and UltraSlim treatments to eliminate unwanted fat and sculpt your body.

TruSculpt

TruSculpt is an excellent non-surgical body sculpting treatment. It uses heat to melt unwanted fat cells. The destroyed fat cells are then removed naturally through the lymphatic system. Trusculpt averages a 24% fat reduction at the conclusion of the treatment course. TruSculpt iD sessions range between 15-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. A few of these quick sessions are all you need for a slimmer figure!

TruSculpt Flex

TruSculpt Flex not only removes unwanted fat but can also offer a toned, muscular figure. Unlike TruSculpt, which destroys fat cells, TruSculpt Flex focuses on creating muscle contractions that tone your body. The NAWI Wellness Center uses a device that rapidly stimulates muscle contractions. NAWI Wellness can treat up to eight areas in one short session. TruSculpt Flex mimics five different workouts, providing a full-body treatment. If you need assistance to tone your body, this body sculpting treatment is definitely worth exploring!

UltraSlim

UltraSlim is a non-invasive, non-surgical body sculpting treatment that can shrink unwanted fat cells. UltraSlim offers remarkable results, with some patients reporting a three to five inch decrease around their waist, thighs, and hips. UltraSlim uses red light technology to cause your body to metabolize fatty acids quickly. Ultraslim also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. You can have both a slimmer figure and tighter skin after only a few sessions.

Benefits Of Body Sculpting

Why should you use body sculpting? We have compiled a short list of six primary aspects that make body sculpting unique and beneficial.

Quick Treatments

Surgical procedures can take hours to complete, and require days to recover. Body sculpting treatments are quick and easy. If you are a busy person with little time for yourself, you can fit one of these body sculpting treatments into your schedule with ease.

Natural Results

Body sculpting results will appear gradually. Final results are usually seen a few months after your final treatment. This means that you will see a slow and very natural change. Additionally, you won’t be left with scars from a surgical procedure. Body sculpting offers seamless results.

No Downtime

Surgical procedures may require a week or more to heal. After surgery, you may also need to delay certain physical activities, such as exercise, until your healing is complete. Body sculpting requires no downtime. You can get right back to your daily routine after each session.

Boost Your Confidence

Stubborn fat bulges can make you lose some of your confidence, especially when it’s bikini season. If you have put a lot of effort into fat reduction and muscle building without obtaining your desired results, you may feel despondent. Body contouring offers effective results that make you look and feel your best.

Non-Invasive

Surgical procedures are not for everyone, especially if you have existing health issues. Anesthesia, incisions, stitches, and scars can create new issues or make existing issues worse. Body sculpting treatments are totally non-invasive.

Whole-Body Treatments

Body sculpting treatments can provide body fat reduction in areas that exercise can’t easily target. Body contouring treatments can remove stubborn fat and build muscle in specific areas of your body. Some body sculpting treatments can even target multiple areas simultaneously.
