- May 21, 2015
You love your little bundle of joy – but you’re not exactly the biggest fan of the stretch marks that came along during your pregnancy. While you were vigilant about applying lotion while you were expecting, those stretch marks still appeared on your stomach, hips, thighs, and even your buttocks.
Add to the fact that you had a splash of acne during your pregnancy, and it’s no wonder you’re looking for solutions to your biggest pregnancy complexion problems.
If that sounds familiar to you, then it’s time to set an appointment with Nhi Le, MD at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today! A dedicated physician board-certified in Internal Medicine, Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging Medicine, Dr. Le is an expert in hormones, wellness, and aesthetics for men and women.
Solving Your Stretch Marks
While stretch marks are often a sign of a happy and full life, there’s no denying that you’d like to wear a bikini or a tank top without worrying how you look. At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa, anti-aging expert Dr. Le administers innovative treatments for fading the appearance of stretch marks.
One of these treatments includes the Fraxel laser treatment, a laser-light technology that kick-starts your body’s collagen production. As collagen production increases, the skin’s turnover increases, which helps bring younger skin to the surface faster.
Fraxel laser treatments are virtually painless; most patients only report a mild heating sensation on the treatment area. Patients should expect to undergo a few sessions to see ideal results. Keep in mind that this treatment is not advised during pregnancy or breast feeding.
Eliminating Your Pregnancy Acne
Acne is a common symptom of pregnancy; thanks to those fluctuating hormones, your skin is more likely to experience an outbreak while you’re expecting your bundle of joy. If you’re suffering from post-pregnancy acne, visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas to undergo a customized treatment for your specific acne.
Depending on the severity of your acne, Dr. Le may administer a laser-light treatment, which helps kill any bacteria that may be lurking in your pores. Microdermabrasions can also help remove the dead layer of skin that could be aggravating your acne. Dr. Le may recommend a few weeks of alternative laser-light treatments with microdermabrasions or, in severe cases, chemical peels.
Dr. Le also utilizes other facial treatments to help with acne, as well as other skin conditions, such as dryness, hyperpigmenatation, rough texture, and more. Hydrafacial, SilkPeel Dermalinfusion, and Microneedling are additional facial treatments that help with different complexion issues post-pregnancy.
Visit Fountain of Youth Medical Spa
It’s important to keep in mind that the treatments mentioned above for both stretch marks and acne are safe and effective to use after pregnancy and breastfeeding. During pregnancy, Dr. Le recommends BASQ skin care products, organic facials, Microneedling, and RG-cell serum that is rich in botanical stem cells’ growth factors and antioxidants.
Don’t put up with pregnancy acne well past your child’s birth. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today.
Kybella Double Chin Reduction

- May 13, 2015
At the Fountain of Youth Med Spa we always strive to give our clients the latest and the best cosmetic treatments. One of the latest and best treatments is Kybella, the new injection for double chin reduction. The FDA recently approved Kybella for treating adults with moderate to severe under-chin fat.
The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, which is a substance that the body makes naturally to dissolve fat cells. Kybella is made by Kythera Biopharmaceuticals of Westlake Village, California.
Why Choose Kybella? It’s an effective and painless way to quickly thin out fat beneath the chin. When injected, Kybella works to effectively destroy fat cell membranes, causing the release of fatty deposits that are then metabolized by the body. It may take up to 6 treatments with Kybella to get rid of that chin fat.
Dr. Nhi Le, owner and founder of the Fountain of Youth, has trained with world renowned dermatologists on techniques and procedures for injecting Phosphotidylcholine and deoxycholic to dissolve small areas of fat and cellulite. Dr. Nhi Le was certified by the International Meso-Lipotherapy Society in 2007. Since then, hundreds of patients were treated by Dr. Nhi Le to improve their double chin, abdominal pooches, love handles, saddle bags, and cellulite.

What is Sermorelin and How Can It Help?

They say you’re only as young as you feel – but if your body is definitely having a hard time catching up with your youthful mind. It seems as though your body starts to feel every year that goes by. You may be starting to lose muscle mass, or have a hard time getting a good night’s sleep. You may even be seeing a dip in your sex drive, as well as your overall energy levels.
You’re not ready to start feeling this way – and you want answers, stat.
That’s where Sermorelin might come into play. Made up of ammino acids or peptides, Sermorelin is used to signal our pituitary gland to increase human growth hormone levels within the body. Human growth hormones (HGH) are essential for regulating your energy levels, sex drive, and even your physical performance. As you age, your body’s natural production of HGH starts to decline, which is why you may be feeling more lethargic.
While Sermorelin was developed in the 1970s, anti-aging experts are just starting to use this synthetic ammino acid polypetide to treat lagging HGH production. When administered on a daily basis, Sermorelin can increase the natural production of human growth hormones, thus helping a patient enjoy the following benefits:
- Increased sex drive
- Increased energy levels
- Greater concentration
- Increased mental clarity
- Increased fat loss
- Improved physical performance
- Improved quality of sleep
- Increased lean muscle mass
- Improved immune system
Sermorelin is also a viable option for patients who may not be able to undergo HGH therapy. This type of therapy directly replaces declining HGH levels within the body; however, Sermorelin naturally stimulates the pituitary gland, which is responsible for producing these hormones. As a result, Sermorelin is a better option for patients who are looking for a more natural alternative to traditional HGH therapy.
If you’re interested in undergoing Sermorelin treatment, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nhi Le at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. During your consultation, Dr. Le will perform comprehensive testing to determine a complete overview of the state of your hormones. This testing can help Dr. Le develop a customized hormone therapy program for you, which may include Sermorelin.

The Biggest Cause of Muscle Loss in Men

They say with age comes wisdom – but they didn’t mention anything about losing muscle mass. You worked hard to develop your lean muscle, and you’re not about to lose your definition just because you’ve celebrated a few birthdays.
Unfortunately, men tend to experience muscle loss as they age. This condition is known as andropause muscle loss, which is the muscle loss that’s caused by a combination of aging and hormonal imbalance. While most men tend to experience this condition in their 50s and 60s, some men as young as 20 have encountered andropause muscle loss.
During andropause – where testosterone levels start to dip – muscle fibers are converted into fat, which further exacerbates the loss of muscle definition, low energy levels, and a general feeling of lethargy. Testosterone is essential for not only producing defined muscles, but for a man’s sex drive and energy levels. This is why men who are going through andropause often feel lethargic and depressed, as their essential testosterone levels are beginning to flag.
While a high-protein diet and strengthening exercises can help men fight against some of the common symptoms of andropause, it’s often not enough. In order to promote increased levels of testosterone production – as well as address issues related to muscle mass and strength – schedule a consultation with Dr. Nhi Le at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.
As an anti-aging expert, Dr. Nhi Le can administer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to increase muscle mass, energy levels, and sexual appetite. Bioidentical hormones are naturally derived from plants; however, they are identical to the hormones within our bodies. Bioidentical hormones can replace flagging testosterone levels, thus helping to counteract the symptoms associated with andropause.
In addition to administering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Nhi Le can design a customized diet and exercise plan so your body can begin rebuilding muscle. Dr. Le will also monitor your therapy through weekly sessions to ensure that you’re experiencing the best benefits from your regimen.
Bioidentical hormone therapy can play a key role in helping you regain your muscle definition, as well as enjoy higher energy levels and a healthy sex drive. To learn more about bioidentical testosterone therapy, schedule a consultation with Dr. Le at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today.

New Endymed Intensif Treatment at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa

Let’s face it: When it comes to getting the most perfect complexion, you feel like you have to invest in several different expensive skin care treatments, all designed to treat different issues. You have a cream for dark spots; a serum for wrinkles; and even a spot treatment for any errant pimples that might pop up when you least suspect it.
Ever wish there was a simpler way to get that smooth, wrinkle-free, and glowing complexion you’ve always wanted? Now there is – and it’s just been made available at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.
EndyMed’s new RF Microneedle treatment is perhaps one of the most intensive – and effective – treatments available for treating a myriad of complexion problems, including the following:
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation
- Loss of elasticity
- Dull skin
In short, the RF Microneedle can deliver a significant blow to many of your cosmetic issues, all with just a few simple treatments.
The RF Microneedle is a handheld device that creates microscopic injuries within the facial skin. If you’re worried that this sounds painful, don’t be; many clients have reported that it only feels like a slight snapping sensation, like an elastic band is gently hitting the skin. Once the tiny injuries are created, the body stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are used to help heal the injury. These increased levels of collagen and elastin help smooth the skin and improve elasticity, which can help create a more youthful look.
What’s more, the higher levels of collagen and elastin elevate cellular turnover, which helps fade the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation much faster. Best of all? The treatment is colorblind, making it an effective solution for all skin tones.
The RF Microneedle also uses a gentle heating sensation to further stimulate production of collagen, which delivers a significant boost to immediate cellular turnover.
The treatment is simple and can be done in-office. Clients should expect slight discomfort, which dissipates as soon as the treatment has concluded. Some side effects may include redness, swelling, and slight bruising.
For more information about the EndyMed RF Microneedle treatment, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nhi Le at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today!

Ever wanted to have the kind of smooth, blemish-free complexion that you see on the cover of magazines? Are you stuck with scars and dark spots that mar your facial skin?
If these questions ring true, then it’s likely you’ve considered undergoing a microdermabrasion – a unique treatment that uses small crystals to exfoliate the skin. This procedure gives a deeper exfoliation than many over-the-counter products; unfortunately, it can also be very irritating for clients who may have more sensitive skin. Microdermabrasions can feel rough, as well as cause redness.
If you like the thought of a deep exfoliation – without the dryness or rough texture – then it’s time to introduce yourself to SilkPeel MD at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.
Owned and operated by Dr. Nhi Le, the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa specializes in delivering innovative treatments designed to create a more youthful and smooth complexion. SilkPeel MD does all of that – in addition to fading scars and hyperpigmentation – by combining the exfoliating powers of microdermabrasion with topical serums. These serums penetrate the newly revealed skin, which helps deliver stellar results over a faster period of time.
The SilkPeel MD uses a diamond treatment hand piece, which allows Dr. Nhi Le to gently remove the top layer of facial skin. At the same time, the SilkPeel Pro-Infusion solutions are delivered into the skin; this is a patented process that’s not available anywhere else. The end result is smooth and younger-looking skin that’s free from scars and brown spots from sun damage.
Interested in undergoing this treatment? The SilkPeel MD procedure is designed to tackle the following skin care woes:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Brown spots
- Uneven skin tone
- Scars
- Skin trauma
- Acne
- Blackheads
The SilkPeel MD treatment can be administered in-office. Clients should wear sunscreen after the treatment, as microdermabrasion can make skin extremely sensitive to UV rays.
No matter what your complexion woes, you’ll find the answer you’re looking for at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. Schedule your SilkPeel MD consultation with Dr. Nhi Le by visiting the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa. Call (361) 576-9100 today!
YOLO Curve Solution: Discover a New Body Contouring Treatment

Winter’s slowly releasing its grip on the world – and that means bikinis, barbeques, and short shorts are just around the corner. But if you’ve spent this past winter staying inside keeping warm, the thought of tank tops, shorts, and bathing suits might make you feel more panicked than excited.
If that sounds familiar to you, then it’s time to discover an innovative body contouring treatment that’s just been made available at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas – and it’s known as the YOLO Curve Solution.
Like the acronym itself (“You Only Live Once”), the YOLO Curve Solution is designed to deliver inch loss in your treatment area in a super-short session. After all, you’ve got a life to live – and the YOLO Curve Solution treatment is designed to keep your life on track.
Best of all, the Yolo Curve Solution is a non-invasive treatment designed to specifically target fat cells without harming surrounding healthy tissue. The Yolo Curve uses laser energy to penetrate the skin of the treatment area, which effectively heats and destroys fat cells. The destruction occurs because the laser forces the fat cell to lose water, free fatty acids, and glycerol. Once these elements are released, the fat cells significantly shrink in size, which promotes a loss of inches in the treatment area. Some fat cells are so completely decimated that they’re removed from the body via its natural waste processes.
The heat of the laser energy also promotes a skin-tightening effect, which can further help increase inch loss. This skin-tightening ability can also smooth away the appearance of cellulite, especially in the thigh and buttocks areas.
[fancygallery id=”1″ album=”11″]In short, the YOLO Curve Solution makes it possible for you to be so proud of your new body that you’ll want to live your life by this empowering and exciting expression!
Dr. Nhi Le, founder of Fountain of Youth Medical Spa, will administer your YOLO Curve Solution treatment. Each treatment session only takes 20 minutes to administer, and comes with little to no side effects. The YOLO Curve Solution can be used on the waistline, stomach, arms and underarms, buttocks, thighs, and back areas.
Call (361) 576-9100 to schedule a YOLO Curve Solution consultation with Dr. Nhi Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today.
How to Keep Your New Year’s Weight-Loss Resolution
- 0 Comment(s)
- March 4, 2015
It’s a tradition as old as New Year’s itself: As soon as December 31st rolls around, you find yourself pondering all of the things you’re going to do differently in the next year. Maybe you’ll read more, or go take that exotic vacation on the other side of the world.
But if you’re like most Americans, chances are your New Year’s resolution involved a very common goal: losing weight.
Weight-loss resolutions are as popular and ubiquitous as NYE kisses at midnight – but unfortunately, many people will lose sight of their weight-loss goals before the third week in January.
If you want to learn how to keep your New Year’s weight-loss resolutions, here’s what you need to do:
- Be realistic about your goals. Start off with a smaller, more attainable goal; instead of losing thirty pounds for the summer, try ten. That way, you won’t get discouraged should you encounter a road block. Any successes you do have can give you the momentum you need to keep setting and achieving additional goals.
- Outline your plan. If you just jump head-first into your weight-loss resolutions on January 2nd, you’re bound to fail. Instead, make a plan for what changes you’re going to make each week. For example, maybe on the first week, consider adding another gym night to your exercise routine; on the second week, cut out carbs from your meals every other day.
- Talk about your resolution with other people. Make sure your friends and family members will hold you accountable. That way, you won’t be tempted to stop working toward your goals, as you’ll know other people are aware of what goals you want to achieve.
- Track your weight-loss progress on a weekly basis. You don’t have to rely on the scale either; take measurements of your legs, thighs, hips, stomach, and arms. This can help you understand that even if you don’t lose a single pound one week, your body is still shrinking.
Of course, there’s a way to complement your weight-loss resolutions; get expert guidance on losing weight at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. Dr. Nhi Le specializes in medical weight loss, where clients can lose two pounds or more each week. For more information, schedule a consultation at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa today at (361) 576-9100.
