Laser Genesis Demonstration Video

August 30, 2022

This is a Laser Genesis Demonstration Video, narrated by Dr. Edwin Dean, Medical Director of NAWI. Dr. Dean talks about the benefits of Laser Genesis Treatment and how easy and pain-free it is! We hope you find it interesting and informative.

What is Laser Genesis?

Laser Genesis skin treatments have emerged as an effective and innovative solution in the area of skin rejuvenation. Laser Genesis harnesses the capabilities of near-infrared Nd:YAG laser technology. It has the ability to pinpoint and treat small vessels beneath the skin, enhancing skin tone and reducing redness while making the skin tighter, firmer, and more youthful.

HOW DOES LASER GENESIS WORK?

As Dr. Dean shows in the Laser Genesis demonstration video, this treatment works by stimulating the body’s natural processes to enhance skin appearance and health. Its subtle heating action stimulates the production of collagen, an essential building block in maintaining the skin’s firmness and smoothness, playing a crucial role in wrinkle reduction. Laser Genesis also has the unique ability to hone in on broken blood vessels and other types of red discoloration, significantly improving skin tone and contributing to an even, youthful complexion.

WHAT DOES LASER GENESIS TREAT?

Laser Genesis skin treatment addresses a number of skin issues, including reduced fine lines and wrinkles, reduced skin redness, reduced visibility of large pores, balances surface irregularities and promotes a smoother, more uniform skin texture, and reduces acne scarring.

Dermaplaning Treatment Video

August 30, 2022

This is a dermaplaning treatment video performed at the NAWI Wellness Center in Naples, FL. It shows how the treatment is performed and talks about the benefits of dermaplaning.

WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?

In case you’re not familiar with the term, ‘dermaplaning’, this is a cosmetic treatment that gently removes the top layer of your skin. This treatment is also known as ‘blading’ or ‘microplanning’. Dermaplaning can be a beneficial treatment for those looking to improve the texture and appearance of their skin quickly and effectively.

Dermaplaning is suitable for everyone. Women usually use this treatment to correct “peach fuzz” on their face. Men love this treatment because it reduces the appearance of sun-damaged, dry skin.

At NAWI, dermaplaning is offered as an additional part of theHydraFacial treatment.

THE BENEFITS OF DERMAPLANING TREATMENT

The dermaplaning treatment video briefly points out the benefits. Here is a more extensive listing.

Exfoliation: Dermaplaning involves gently scraping the surface of the skin with a surgical scalpel, which helps remove dead skin cells and built-up debris. This exfoliation process can reveal smoother, softer skin and improve the skin’s texture.

Hair Removal: Dermaplaning also effectively removes vellus hair, commonly known as “peach fuzz,” from the face. This can make the skin appear smoother and brighter.

Enhanced Skin Care Product Absorption: By removing the layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz, dermaplaning can improve the penetration of skincare products. This means that serums, moisturizers, and other skin care treatments may be more effective after a dermaplaning session.

Instant Results: Unlike some other skincare treatments that may require time to see results, dermaplaning often provides immediate improvement in the skin’s appearance, leaving it looking brighter and more radiant.

Safe for Most Skin Types: Dermaplaning is generally safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and it is non-invasive. However, individuals with active acne or certain skin conditions may not be suitable candidates.

Minimal Downtime: There is typically little to no downtime associated with dermaplaning. Some individuals may experience mild redness or sensitivity immediately after the treatment, but this usually resolves quickly.

Ultraslim Facial Rejuvenation Video

August 30, 2022

This is an Ultraslim Facial Rejuvenation Treatment video. The video was filmed at NAWI Wellness Center, Naples, FL. We hope you find this short video to be informative and interesting.

Ultraslim Facial Rejuvenation Adds Collagen and Elastin

As you can see in the Ultraslim Facial Rejuvenation video, UltraSlim uses American-made, FDA-approved red light system. There are no needles, no incisions, and no recovery time.

The UltraSlim patented technology is based on modulating a specific type of red light to add new collagen and elastin which delivers tighter and smoother skin for a more youthful look.

UltraSlim body sculpting operates at the cellular level and does not generate heat. Most importantly, red light technologies have never shown any recorded side effects and patients do not experience any discomfort during the treatments.

Why are collagen and elastin important for youthful skin?

As noted in the Ultraslim Facial Rejuvenation video, this treatment builds collagen and elastin, the two essential proteins found in the skin’s dermis layer which provide structural support, elasticity, and resilience. Collagen and Elastin play crucial roles in maintaining youthful, healthy-looking skin. Supporting collagen and elastin production and protecting the skin from factors that contribute to their degradation are essential for maintaining a youthful and healthy complexion.

Here is further explanation about the importance of collagen and elastin in maintaining youthful skin.

First, collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and serves as the main structural component of the skin. It forms a network of fibers that provide strength, firmness, and structure to the skin, helping to maintain its shape and prevent sagging. Collagen also plays a vital role in wound healing and tissue repair.

Elastin is another protein found in the skin that works in conjunction with collagen to maintain skin elasticity and flexibility. Elastin fibers allow the skin to stretch and recoil, enabling it to return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. Elastin helps the skin retain its youthful bounce and resilience, contributing to a smooth and supple appearance.

In youthful skin, collagen and elastin fibers are abundant and well-organized, providing firmness, smoothness, and resilience. This results in a plump, tight, and wrinkle-free appearance. Collagen and elastin help to support the skin’s structure and maintain its hydration levels, contributing to a youthful glow and radiance.

As we age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin naturally decreases, and existing fibers become less organized and more fragile. This leads to a loss of firmness, elasticity, and volume in the skin, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, and creepy texture. External factors such as sun exposure, smoking, pollution, and poor skincare habits can accelerate collagen and elastin degradation, further contributing to premature aging of the skin.

To maintain youthful-looking skin and slow down the aging process, it’s essential to support collagen and elastin production through proper skincare and lifestyle habits. This includes protecting the skin from UV radiation by wearing sunscreen daily, eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and nutrients, staying hydrated, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and using skincare products containing ingredients that promote collagen synthesis, such as retinoids, peptides, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid.

Visia Skin Analysis Video – part 2

August 30, 2022

This is the Visia Skin Analysis Video – part 2. Dr. Edwin Dean, Medical Director of NAWI Wellness, Naples, FL, explains how Visia works and the very useful information that it provides. We hope that you find this video to be informative.

What is the Visia Skin Analysis System?

Visia Skin Analysis is a comprehensive imaging system used by NAWI Wellness Center to assess various aspects of the skin’s health and appearance. It utilizes specialized imaging technology to capture high-resolution digital photographs of the skin’s surface and underlying layers. These images are then analyzed using advanced software to provide a detailed evaluation of the skin’s condition, including issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, texture irregularities, pigmentation, sun damage, pores, and redness.

How does it work?

The Visia Skin Analysis system consists of a specialized camera equipped with multiple imaging modes, including standard lighting, cross-polarized lighting, and ultraviolet (UV) lighting. These different lighting modes help to capture various aspects of the skin’s condition, such as surface texture, pigmentation, and sun damage. The client’s face is positioned within the camera’s field of view, and a series of high-resolution digital photographs are taken from multiple angles.

Once the images are captured, they are processed and analyzed using proprietary software. The software automatically identifies and quantifies various skin features and characteristics, generating a comprehensive report of the skin’s condition. The analysis may include measurements of wrinkles, fine lines, pores, pigmentation spots, UV damage, and redness levels.

The analysis results are presented in a detailed report that outlines the specific findings of the skin assessment. The report may include visual representations of the skin’s condition, such as color-coded maps and comparative images. It provides valuable insights into areas of concern and helps the NAWI team develop personalized treatment plans tailored to the client’s unique needs and goals.

As explained by Dr. Dean in the Visia Skin Analysis video, the NAWI team reviews the results with the client during a consultation session. They discuss the findings, note any areas of concern, and recommend appropriate skincare treatments based on the individual client’s skin type, concerns, and goals. The Visia Skin Analysis system serves as a valuable tool for educating clients about their skin and tracking progress over time.

Botox for Anyone Video

August 30, 2022

This is a video showing that BOTOX is for Anyone! Dr. Edwin Dean, Medical Director or NAWI Wellness Center, is treating a male client with BOTOX to reduce the frown lines in his forehead.

What is BOTOX?

This is the oldest injectable on the market. It can be used to reverse the signs of aging caused by dynamic facial muscles.

Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When used in cosmetic procedures, it works by temporarily paralyzing or weakening muscles, which can smooth out wrinkles and fine lines in the skin.

Botox is administered via injection directly into specific muscles of the face, typically targeting areas where wrinkles or lines are present. Common areas for injections include the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the edges of the eyes, also known as ‘crows feet’.

Once injected, it blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for signaling muscle contractions. By inhibiting acetylcholine, Botox effectively prevents the targeted muscles from contracting.

With the muscle unable to contract, this reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines in the overlying skin. It’s important to note that Botox does not directly affect the skin itself, but rather the underlying muscles responsible for creating wrinkles through repeated facial expressions

Is Botox Safe?

Yes, this treatment is very safe! While Botox injections are considered safe when administered by trained medical professionals in appropriate doses, there are potential side effects and risks associated with treatment. These can include temporary bruising, swelling, pain at the injection site, headache, and in rare cases, eyelid drooping or asymmetry of facial expression. It’s crucial to discuss any concerns or medical history with a qualified healthcare provider before undergoing Botox treatment.

Common Concerns

Common concerns associated with this treatment include the following items.

Bruising and swelling at the injection site are common side effects of Botox injections. These symptoms are usually mild and temporary, but can be bothersome for some individuals.

Some people may experience discomfort or pain during the injection process. While the needles used for Botox injections are small, the sensation of the injection can vary depending on individual pain tolerance.

In rare cases, Botox injections may cause temporary weakness or drooping of nearby muscles, particularly in areas such as the eyelids or eyebrows. This side effect typically resolves on its own within a few weeks as the effects of Botox wear off.

While rare, allergic reactions to Botox can sometimes occur. Symptoms may include itching, rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. It’s essential to inform your healthcare provider of any known allergies or sensitivities before undergoing treatment.

Finally, make sure that you use an experienced injectionist. Achieving symmetrical and natural-looking results with Botox injections requires skill and expertise on the part of the injectionist. Inexperienced or improperly trained practitioners may inadvertently create unevenness or asymmetry in facial expression.
