Laser Hair Removal












Almost all of us, at one point in our lives has cringed at the sight of unwanted hair. That unwanted hair could be on your hair, face, back, you know where it is.  At Lose It Right and Florida Advanced Facial Rejuvenation we offer either Laser Hair Removal and or Electrolysis.

While most people are good candidates, the best candidate for laser hair removal is someone with realistic expectations. Understand that it takes multiple treatments to remove hair and also laser hair removal should actually be referred to as permanent hair reduction. The more treatments you receive, fewer and fewer hairs will remain. This doesn't mean hair will never grow again the true gold standard for permanent hair removal is Electrolysis. With laser treatment, periodic maintenance treatments will be required, but the intervals will eventually grow longer over time.  Please shave prior to your laser hair removal treatment, and please leave some short hairs for your electrolysis sessions.

We welcome all, please come in for a free consultation so we may find the most suitable laser treatment option for you.

Microcurrent and Microlight for pain treatments at Lose It Right



What is Microcurrent and how can it help my pain?  In this video Sue explains how microcurrent helped her knee pain. 



In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the use of electric micro stimulation won national attention when Dr. Robert Picker used microcurrent on Olympic athletes Mary Kay Decker and Joan Benoit.  According to Dr. Picker, “Areas of trauma and injury have lost a measure of their electrical potentials and thus become electrochemically undercharged and metabolically sluggish.  By feeding injured tissues electrical energy within an optimal bioelectric range, their electrical potentials can be restored, which in turn sets the stage for rapid clinical recovery.”   With the microcurrent ,low frequency electrical stimulation is applied to the injured site is picked up by the body’s internal communication system, which signals the appropriate cells to “re-educate” or grow, develop and repair.

Laser Tattoo Removal -Lose It Right and Florida Advanced Facial Rejuvenation


At Lose It Right and Florida Advanced  Facial Rejuvenation we used Q switched lasers for laser tattoo removal.

Are you tired of carrying around an "old flame"?  Or do you have an unattractive tattoo?

The Ruby being the first Q switched laser, gives off a beam of a wavelength of 690mm, which works on only green and blue colors. The Alexandrite with the wavelength of 755 mm is effective on green tattoos. Finally, the YAG with 532 and 1064 nanometers is more effective on red and black tattoos. Yellow, pink and purple are more resistant to the laser treatment. They generally contain high metal oxides. They are difficult to eraser, but with more sittings, they will certainly fade away.

Tattoo removal can never be completed in just one sitting. You will have to go back again and again to the chair to get the laser treatment done the proper way. Normally, it takes about 6-12 sittings to obliterate the tattoo mark, and these will all be done within 4-6 weeks.

The Microcurrent Facelift at Lose It Right and Florida Advanced Facial Rejuvenation


Microcurrent facelift at Lose It Right and Florida Advanced Facial Rejuvenation




What can I expect from a microcurrent facelift?

The short answer: As we age, our body loses much of its natural electrical energy, much like a battery gradually losing its charge. On a cellular level, this leads to a breakdown of collagen and elastin in our skin, which leads to sagging and unevenness of texture; lines, wrinkles, and folds become the inevitable result. Beneath the skin, the facial muscles become increasingly contracted over years of facial expression and constant gravity, allowing the overall lift of our face to decline.
 
Microcurrent sends out  subtle electrical frequencies that mimic the body"s own electrical signals, thereby increasing the amount of ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the chemical fuel of human cells) by as much as 500%. Such increased levels of ATP speed cellular metabolism; the result is a detoxification that increases the rate of waste and impurity elimination. Protein synthesis and cellular membrane transport are also increased, as well as the reconstitution of collagen and elastin. The results of these processes can be seen in improved skin tone and coloration, the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and the firming of sagging areas of the face and body.
Besides the increase in ATP, protein synthesis, and cellular membrane transport, clinical studies have consistently shown that Microcurrent causes the following:
  • 35% increase in blood circulation
  • 40% increase in Gluconeogenesis (production of new glucose)
  • 45% increase in the number of elastin fibers in the dermis
  • 50% increase in the length of the elastin fibers
  • 10% increase in collagen thickness in the connective tissue
  • 35% increase in the number of blood vessels
  • 28% increase lymphatic drainage
All of these combinations are key factors in the effectiveness of Microcurrent Facial Sculpting. The body is literally being recharged back to its more youthful electrical state, as though a draining battery were plugged into a charger. With each treatment, ATP levels are stockpiled or stored, which is why Microcurrent Facial Treatment results are cumulative and become better as a series of treatments progresses. At Lose It Right and Florida Advanced Facial Rejuvenation, Facial Sculpting will show good results with only one treatment; however such results may last only 48-72 hours in the initial treatment, then 3-4 days as you reach your 4 th or 5 th treatment. By the 6 th or 8 th treatment, muscle memory takes over and progress becomes more rapid and longer lasting, until only a booster treatment is needed every 4-6 weeks to maintain the results. This is called muscle re-education.

The dramatic increase of ATP levels allows muscles to stay in the re-educated positions for longer periods of time. The other attributing factor is an increase in blood circulation. Blood circulation has everything to do with the function, condition, color, and overall health of the skin, as well as underlying tissue.
Compare that to any skin resurfacing procedure which  stimulates collagen by exxentially  wounding the dermis. Microcurrent does not rely upon wounding, nor does it require a healing process to show results.
The long answer (including clinical studies and technical details) is that at Florida Advanced Facial Rejuvenation, Facial Sculpting emits Microcurrent which passes through special wands to manipulate 32 of the 53 muscles of the face by isolating traditional acupuncture points. The direct effect of this is called "muscle re-education.
Muscle re-education can be accomplished to a limited degree without electrical current, such as in massage therapy; however when done using Microcurrent the results are extraordinary. In technical terms, facial muscles become increasingly contracted over years of facial expression and gravity. Microcurrent recharges those muscles into a shorter state. This widely-accepted concept was coined as the Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO) by George J. Goodheart Jr., DC, in the late 60's and is still accepted today.

The other attributing factor is an increase in blood circulation. Blood circulation has everything to do with the function, condition, color, and overall health of the skin, as well as underlying tissue.
Emil Y. Chi, PhD, director of the University of Washington 's Department of Pathology, performed clinical studies using Microcurrent equipment. He notes, "The fact that this technology works in harmony with the body is evident. Examination of skin tissue treated with Microcurrent showed a 45% increase in the number of elastin fibers in the dermis, and the length of the fibers on average doubled. The collagen thickness in connective tissue increased 10%, and the number of blood vessels increased by 35%. The application of Microcurrent to skin and tissue produced a firmer and tighter feeling on the skin surface."
Chi's study further notes a 35% increase in blood circulation in tissue treated with Microcurrent, as well as remarkable Iontophoresis (delivering medication or cosmetic product with electrical current) that allows superior penetration of products into the skin. Other notable results concluded from the study were that redness, irritation and inflammation of surgically traumatized tissue could be decreased significantly, and the build up of hardened collagen that makes up scar tissue was noted to be three to five times less in tissue treated without Microcurrent.

Ultrasound Cavitation

Lipo-Cavitation & Radio Frequency

This new and revolutionary treatment to obtain a slim body increases collagen, dissolves fat, and tightens the skin.

Lipo-Cavitation or Ultra-Cavitation is the new revolutionary procedure which is taking people to a new level offering outstanding slimming results and the ability to look years younger in weeks.  This latest innovation is designed to give people great results without surgery.
Radio Frequency is a cosmetic treatment designed to tighten, loose, or sagging skin in the face, eyes, tummy, and even arms and legs, without an incision or recovery time.  Radio Frequency is an energy source designed to uniformly heat the dermis (inner layer of skin), the heat is designed to tighten deeper layers of skin while helping to initiate the production of new collagen, which occurs over a period of time.
Cavitation dissolves fat cells and gives immediate slimming results.  Our latest Cavitation technique is also knows as Lipo-Cavitation, Ultra Cavitation, Ultrasound Cavitation and vacuum therapy with Radio Frequency therapy.

Cavitation Ultrasound – Lipo Cavitation

Designed to melt fat cells it provides faster results and permanent elimination of fat from the body giving results that resemble Liposuction or Liposculpture without any pain or surgical intervention.
Technological advances in medicine have made possible the use of low frequency ultrasound for localized fat reduction, more often known by the popular names love handles or jowls. This also led to the origin of increasingly popular names of this treatment like Ultra-cavitation or Cavitation. The low-frequency ultrasonic waves are useful in combating various effects of accumulations of fat. The Cavitation treatment produces fatty acids lipolysis in the adipocytes (fat loaded cells) due to a phenomenon known as “stable cavitation” as well as an increased cell permeability of the adipocytes. Furthermore, part of the adipocytes content is metabolized by the liver and excreted in the urine so it is always recommended to drink plenty of water, both on the day of treatment and on the subsequent days as well.
These treatments are performed in small, localized areas of the body but, although they may seem cosmetic, they are not without risks. The ultrasonic cavitation can be considered as a treatment alternative to surgical liposuction, which can be more or less aggressive as is done with or without laser, and in more or less extensive areas. Ultra Cavitation can, in fact, avoid the operating room and avoid anesthesia because the procedure is painless and can be done in a Clinic.
The Ultrasonic Cavitation treatment is not zero-risks, that’s why our highly trained technicians will adapt the power and depth of treatment to the anatomical location of the treated area and to the amount and structure to each person’s adiposity. 

Radio Frequency Treatment

 .
Depending on the size of the area treated, the Radio Frequency  procedure itself may take anywhere from 30 minutes for a facial treatment up to 70 minutes for a body treatment.  You can return to normal activities immediately, as there is usually no “downtime”.  Minimal redness is seen in some patients but it usually disappears shortly after treatment. Heat-related complications can occur but are uncommon. There is no special care needed after treatment. However, as part of good skin care regimen, sunscreen is recommended.
The results of the facial treatments can last anywhere from several months to several years, depending on your aging process. As part of a dedicated program, treatments are given progressively once a week for 6 weeks and thereafter monthly to maintain your results for tighter and smoother skin from head to toe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dilz5UIO2ow
