Most people, either men or women, worry about aging. Although science finds a way to reverse the aging process, technology helps to make it more simple, painless, and has easy recovery. This is the answer to every prayer of looking young regardless of the biological age without the fear of undergoing any invasive procedure. What’s great is that Dr. Cantrell, Florida’s top anti-aging physician, made a comprehensive research on a variety of pain-free solutions which are being offered at Med Spa Plus.

Nowadays, there’s no need for painful procedures since there are minimally invasive or even non-invasive surgeries. An example is Crystal-free Microdermabrasion which exfoliates and brings back your baby smooth skin in less than an hour with no sandy residue on your face. Another solution are the dermal fillers such as collagen based fillers, hyaluronic acid based fillers like Restylane™ and Juvederm™, poly lactic acid based fillers like Sculptra™, and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers such as Radiesse®. These types of materials are easy to administer and safe. Tiny needles are used to inject dermal fillers into the wrinkles, folds, or scars and are usually managed by topical anesthetics. Compared to traditional plastic surgery, this is more cost-effective, faster procedure and patient can undergo short-term recovery.

On the other hand, this treatment will help you look younger with a natural look in a short period of time. This can be done inside a clinic for just a few minutes. Just like any other non-invasive procedures, this was proven to be safe and is relatively pain-free. You can even see the result right after the procedure and it promotes faster recovery.

Another painless treatment to look forward to is LaserDermologySM which is more likely just a cool massage. It reduces the appearance of cellulites thus aids in developing a more contoured, healthy-looking figure by smoothing and toning the skin all over the body. This system can be used in combination of other treatments like liposuction, mesotherapy, and dermal fillers. So in the event that you like to look and feel younger without undergoing a surgery, you ought to try these kinds of treatments. Having a nourished skin will always matter in our changing society. So be in the trend, know what is best for you and experience a drastic change of this youthful glow.

Headaches caused by migraine can really affect performance at work. It may feel like it is throbbing or pulsating and may be located on either one side or both sides of the head. Although most sufferers attempt to continue to work despite their migraine attacks, this will just add up the stress they’ve been going through instead of being productive hence, interfering their career.

Triggered by hormonal changes, emotional and physical stress, irregular sleep pattern or other environmental factors, migraine attacks are often accompanied by sensory warning signs such as flashes of light, blind spots, tingling in the arms and legs, nausea, vomiting, and increased sensitivity to light and sound. The excruciating pain that migraines bring can last for hours or even days.

Withdrawing from stressful surroundings, resting in a room with little or no sensory stimulation, Using a cold compress to the area of pain, or perhaps trying some  over-the-counter medicines are just some of the remedies you do at home or at your work place every time you have an episode.

For most of us, the wrinkles, jowls, sagging and other symptoms of an aging face are actually the result of lost volume that starts as early as our late 20’s.  It is typically during this time that we start trying different creams, lotions, and exotic elixirs to stem the decline.  At first they may seem to work and make us feel that we have found some control over the aging process.  Then, after a few years nothing seems to work anymore.  We start trying more expensive and more extreme products and devices and more involved combinations of all of them.  At some point we give into the thought that only surgery can correct what has been lost to time.

Welcome to the world of  21st Century cosmetics and non-surgical rejuvenation!  With all the available options that weren’t even imagined a few decades ago, lasers, botox, fillers, etc. one stands out among the rest as the most effective, natural and cost effective solution to the aging face.  Sculptra is quickly becoming the number one treatment for volume loss due to aging or illness.  Results can last over 5 times longer than the most popular dermal filler at less than a tenth the cost for similar results.  And, Sculptra makes your own body’s natural collagen create the volume! So, there are no concerns of the artificial feeling some experience with typical fillers or the hard protruding shapes of implants that you age through in just a few years.

Sculptra stimulates your body to build its own collagen over a period of several weeks making the process the slow, natural way to improved appearance.  Multiple treatments are preferred so that volume growth can be adapted to your natural appearance and your body’s ability to add collagen.  (This prevents the “over done” image we’ve all seen on some celebrities.)  Additional treatments can be made at any time and touch-ups are recommended every couple of years to keep ahead of our natural aging process.

What are the short-term side effects?  Because Sculptra is mostly sterile water, the swelling is minimal and significantly less than typical treatments with dermal fillers.  In fact, most patients are disappointed when the swelling dissipates over the next couple of days.  As with any injection, bruising is always a possibility.  With the use of optical telescopes, an experienced Physician can minimize this possibility but even the best will occasionally leave a treatment bruise.  There are several things the patient can do to minimize the chance of bruising by eliminating several things 4 days prior to treatment.  This includes all aspirin and aspirin-like products, alcohol, fish oils and other oil supplements.  Taking vitamin K days before and after treatment has also been found to help with bruising.

In some cases, depending on the experience of the Physician and the compliance of the patient to massage the treated areas for the first few days after treatment, there have been reports of nodules forming in the treated areas.  These are areas that have concentrated collagen growth and subside naturally over time.  In most cases they are not visible and so tiny that they are noticeable only by rubbing over the specific area.  Though more prevalent a complaint years ago when the product was first introduced, currently trained and experienced Physicians seldom see but the most minor, occasional occurrences.

What are the long-term side effects?  Unlike other long term or permanent fillers or treatments, Sculptra completely disappears after several months and transformed into natural collagen generated by your own body.  You continue to age naturally but from a more youthful appearance.  As this natural collagen ages with you and begins the normal aging cycle, additional Sculptra can be added to revitalize and replace it all over again.  Because you’re not starting over but just maintaining the volume created from your initial treatments, you will typically require a treatment, or even a half treatment, only every couple of years depending where you are at in the normal aging cycle.  After decades of use in other medical procedures, there are still no known side effects from the basic ingredients of Sculptra.

As with any medical treatment or procedure, the results you see are directly related to the quality and experience of the Physician.  You wouldn’t blame a bad haircut on the scissors nor should a poor result from Sculptra be blamed on the product.  We have seen many patients who feel all Physicians are the same no matter what the treatment or procedure.  So they look for simply the best price.  You would think that where one’s face is involved one would not be looking for Blue Light Specials, but they do.  In the right hands, Sculptra is simply the very best volumizing treatment available today, anywhere.

Dr. Diane Cantrell, M.D. has been a practicing physician from the age of 24 after graduating at the top of her class.  She has been uniquely trained with Sculptra and other non-surgical methods that she uses routinely in her practice.  Her unique talents have attracted repeat patients from as far away as California and Europe.  Her father was one of the last practicing Naturopathic Physicians in the State and she brings that holistic approach to her patients.  She is one of only a handful of Physicians who successfully uses Sculptra in unique, detail-oriented ways to solve a variety of cosmetic problems in the face, neck, hands, and other areas…

This process is known as oxidation, which is greatly affected by environmental changes. The pollution and unhealthy foods we eat causes the deterioration of the bones, the wearing out of organs, immunosupression, and possibly, to some extent, the aging process itelf.

Antioxidants are substances that prevent, neutralize and reduce the damage done by free radicals to our body cells.They can help us live longer, eliminate illnesses, and fight against the visible effects of aging. Several types of antioxidants can either be minerals, hormones, or vitamins. Some sources that can help get rid of free radicals are garlic, gingko biloba, grape seed, glutathione, lutein, manganese, pine bark, taurine, vitamin C, Vitamin E, and a lot more.

Dr. Cantrell is the #1 Sculptra physician in Central Florida.  Often, offices will purchase a large amount of a product to rank higher on the product’s website or to get higher ratings.  That doesn’t mean they actually use all of that product or treat with it themselves.  The data is in and Dr. Cantrell has more experience with Sculptra then any other physician in Central Florida.

As one of the first doctors to be trained in Central Florida, Dr. Cantrell had been at the leading edge of non-surgical solutions for the effects of aging that we all face.  Her skills allow her to successfully treat multiple areas typically beyond the scope of most physicians; and, she is one of only a few doctors in the Southeastern US trained to treat the effects of aging on the hands with Sculptra and Laser.  Her results speak for themselves:  soft, natural corrections that restore your youthful appearance without the harsh or “they had something done” look common with so many cosmetic treatments.  She takes her time, just like nature does, so that you “anti-age” in a graceful and controlled manner.  And, unlike surgical treatments, future touch-ups and adjustments are simple and easy.

Sculptra, simply the best.  Dr. Cantrell, Sculptra’s best.

Carbuncles or sebaceous cysts are being seen a lot more this Summer and are highly contagious.  Just sitting down on a chair used by an infected person can spread the cyst to an exposed leg or arm.  Be more vigilant at the gyms this Summer.  Thought very treatable, if not caught early, the infected area can often lead to permanent marks and discoloration that will require cosmetic laser treatment.

We often have patients come in and say they want to look younger and more youthful, but don’t know how to go about it.  Fact is, losing facial volume is the primary cause of aging.  Picture a plump grape, as it loses volume it becomes wrinkled and no longer holds its shape.  Now imagine being able to inject that grape with juices to bring it back to its shape and stretch the skin to reduce the wrinkles.  That is exactly what we do with the product Sculptra.  Celebs have been using it for years to maintain their “youthful” appearance, now it’s time for you to be in the know.  We see women and men coming in every 6 to 8 months asking for gallons of filler, when in reality we could fix them up with just a few treatments of Sculptra-that we’ve seen last up to 2 and a half years.  We are so excited about this product, half our staff has it in their faces!  Point being, if you want to look like you did in that high school picture again-Sculptra is the way to go.

On July 9, 2010, British regulators approved the use of Botox for the treatment of Migraine Headaches.  It is expected that the U.S. will shortly follow.

Ok, considering the fact these treatments have been around for many years and in fact, Dr. Cantrell was one of the first in the area to offer such treatments, it’s nice that the Government will make it “official” soon.  For those patients that think anything ‘not approved’ by the FDA is ‘illegal’ please note that the use of ice packs to reduce swelling has never been approved by the FDA along with many other standard practices used everyday in medicine.  So, if you suffer from debilitating Migraine Headaches you can choose to wait and see if the FDA approves of you being treated; or, you can can choose to dramatically reduce the severity and frequency of your headaches for up to a year, right now.

By the way, all those cool Botox treatments that you’ve been so pleased with for your forehead, crows feet around the eyes, frowns around your lips, etc. - they’re not FDA approved either.

I.B.D. has reported that a particle of English ivy may protect the skin from UV radiation four times better than today’s metal-based sunblocks.  Interesting that it also states that this “…would avoid the potential health problems of metal-based products, which can seep into organs.”

By “metal-based products” they mean the Zinc oxide or Titanium dioxides.  By “potential health problems” & “which can seep into organs” they mean:  we’re making this up to get funding and to better position our research.   In all the generations that these have been used to block the damaging rays of the Sun, there has never been a reported case of health problems associated with them “seeping into organs”.   On the other hand, there are numerous studies implying or proving that the current batch of “chemical” screens can and have caused health problems to the point that many countries put minimum age requirements on their use.  Many people will insist that they prefer the “natural” products from something like this plant over the Zinc or Titanium dioxides.  They fail to realize that not only are Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide “natural” products but they are far less complex than most of the chemical alternatives, including the “natural” ones.  Along with their long history of use, their interactions with the body are far better known and offer far fewer opportunities of unhealthy interactions than do the chemical substitutes.  Perhaps that’s why Australia still recommends them as the most approved and proven ingredients to be used in topical sunscreens.  “New” is not always better.

Finally, after all the “acne cures” on the market today they have finally gone directly to Gold for probably the most expensive solution yet.   Not just any gold but lauric acid inside Gold nanoparticles to attack the acne bacteria directly.  Can you just imagine the marketing hype and the price tag for that cream!?   Still, nothing indicates the treatment will ‘cure’ acne which to-date usually can just be controlled.  Guess if you have to have the most expensive method available, this will bring that to a whole new level.  But, if you just want your acne taken care of at an affordable price, Dr. C has had over a 98% success rate with compliant patients in clearing up their acne.  Even the old acne scarring of youth can be pretty well eliminated in a single treatment.  But clearly there will always be someone who must have the Golden Treatment.
