Is Hormone Therapy Safe?

- August 26, 2014
Uttering the words “hormone therapy” might make many people immediately feel doubt and uncertainty. After all, hormone therapy often carries such negative connotations, thanks to the proliferation of hormone abuse in athletics and professional sports.
What’s more, the idea of supplying hormones to your own body might make you pause; how can you be sure you’re getting the right hormone treatments? How do you ensure you’re getting the best hormone treatments for your body?
Those are the exact questions that can be answered by Dr. Nhi Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. As a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Dr. Nhi Le has the experience and knowledge necessary to ensure that patients undertake the best hormone treatments with the highest-quality ingredients possible. Additionally, Dr. Nhi Le only uses bioidentical hormones in her treatments, which ensure safe and natural results.
Unlike synthetically grown hormones or animal hormones, bioidentical hormones are an exact match for what’s in our own body. These hormones are derived from plants, ensuring that clients are only provided the most natural and effective hormones possible.
These hormones are also delivered in a manner that reflects the body’s own absorption processes. Bioidentical hormones can be delivered via pills and creams, which can provide an easy way for clients to get the hormones they need. Dr. Nhi Le also offers hormone pellet therapy. This is a unique kind of therapy that places the hormones directly under the skin in small pellets, which is then absorbed by the body over time. Dr. Nhi Le has found that this can provide the most natural results; as it delivers hormones to the blood stream, this ensures that the hormones can be used immediately and effectively.
Hormone therapy is safe – however, this is largely determined by the professional who is administering your hormone therapy. Many hormone therapy specialists do not monitor their patients’ reactions, which can be unpleasant for patients experiencing unwanted side effects. Dr. Nhi Le, however, monitors her patients’ reactions to hormone therapy, and only uses the highest quality bioidentical hormones in the world.

What You Need to Know About Hormone Pellet Therapy
- 0 Comment(s)
- August 13, 2014
When it comes to leading a healthy lifestyle, ensuring that your hormones are properly balanced and functioning can play a critical role. The better our hormones function, the more likely it is that our bodily functions will run as designed. However, as we get older, our hormone production levels naturally drop off, which can produce significant symptoms in both men and women. These symptoms can include the following:
- Lack of sexual desire
- Insomnia
- Increased fat and decreased muscle strength
- Decreased metabolism
- Feelings of lethargy and depression
That’s why it’s important for both men and women who are suffering from these symptoms to look into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). This type of hormone therapy administers hormones that are identical to the ones in your own body. This means that people suffering from low levels of estrogen or testosterone can use these bioidentical hormones to supplement their own natural ones, thus minimizing or even eliminating the above complaints altogether.
One of the most successful methods of hormone delivery is hormone pellet therapy.
At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa (serving the greater Victoria, Texas area) Dr. Nhi Le’s hormone pellet therapy has shown encouraging success rates. Unlike other hormone therapy delivery methods, hormone pellet therapy ensures that the pellets are placed underneath your skin and fat, thus ensuring that your body absorbs the hormones as much as possible. What’s more, hormone pellet therapy delivers hormones slowly, which mimics the body’s own natural processes. This ensures that you don’t encounter any strange or unique symptoms as a result of treatment.
Pellet hormone therapy has been used to great effect in the U.S. and Europe since 1938. In the last ten years, the demand for hormone pellet therapy has increased, thanks to a better understanding of the benefits of this type of delivery.
Hormone pellet therapy can help you see benefits and improvement with the following symptoms:
- Heart health
- Sex drive
- Energy levels
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Depression
- Joint aches and pains
At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her staff members are pleased to offer clients hormone pellet therapy. Dr. Nhi Le is highly experienced in administering these hormone pellets, which means clients can be sure they’re undergoing the best treatments possible.

Skinfinity: Discover A New Anti-Aging Facial Treatment

You pride yourself on being as healthy as you can be. You try to eat right. You’re active. You’ve even invested in skin creams and serums, all of which promise to help you turn back the hands of time.
So why is it that you’re greeted by new wrinkles and fine lines every time you look in the mirror?
If you’re looking for a better anti-aging facial treatment, consider making an appointment at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. Dr. Nhi Le and her staff members are pleased to offer clients a unique new treatment that’s proven to be highly effective at reversing facial aging.
What’s even more exciting is that it’s the first radio-frequency (RF) ablative treatment in the world – and it’s the first in Victoria, Texas. This stellar treatment is known as Skinfinity – and if you haven’t tried it out for yourself, now is definitely the time.
How Skinfinity Works
Eclipse Skinfinity is designed to minimize the most popular signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and other complexion woes. Skinfinity uses an innovative roller tip that gently glides across the facial skin; as it glides, electrodes are used to cause tiny injuries to the skin. The overall effect feels like a tingle, so discomfort is kept at a minimum.
When the injuries have been made to the skin, the body immediately increases its healing abilities, thus promoting the production of collagen in the skin. As the collagen works to repair the injuries, cellular turnover explodes. This helps remove dull and damaged skin, revealing the youthful and unblemished skin underneath. Skinfinity has been shown to have fantastic results, especially with regards to skin resurfacing and skin rejuvenation.
Skinfinity is safe for all skin types, making this a highly versatile anti-aging treatment. There’s virtually no downtime involved in treatment, meaning you can return to your normal schedule after undergoing the procedure.

Vampire Scar Repair

- July 1, 2014
If you suffer from facial scars – for example, those caused by accidents, surgical procedures, and even acne – you may think that you have to deal with the proverbial cards that have been handed to you. However, there is an innovative new treatment out there that isn’t just effective at minimizing the appearance of scars; it can help eliminate them altogether.
And you have Count Dracula to thank for that.
A couple of years ago, the Vampire Facelift became one of the hottest facial treatments to request at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. The Vampire Facelift utilized the healing and restorative powers of an individual’s own platelet-rich plasma, which can be found in the blood. Platelets are responsible for helping the body heal by clotting the blood and turning a wound into a barely visible scab. Without platelets, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy youthful-looking skin or eliminate free radicals by oxygenating our bodies.
That’s the idea behind the Vampire Facelift – and now that has been transformed into a restorative new scar treatment, known as the Vampire Scar Repair. The idea behind this procedure is to use the healing powers of the blood’s platelets, which are made to undergo a special treatment that helps the platelets release their restorative healing powers.
At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her talented team members can help patients reduce the look of their scars by utilizing the Vampire Scar Repair treatment. During this procedure, Dr. Nhi Le will remove blood from the client using a syringe; after this step, Dr. Nhi Le will treat the blood by placing it in a special machine. This machine activates the platelets within the blood’s plasma, thus ensuring that your blood’s healing power is completely optimized. Once this stage has been completed, then blood is injected back into the body via the treatment area. This ensures that the newly optimized platelets can go right to work on the scar, thus minimizing and even eliminating its appearance.
To learn more about the restorative powers of the Vampire Scar Treatment – or to schedule your own appointment – contact Dr. Nhi Le and the team at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX today. We serve the Texas gulf coast, including Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, Port Lavaca, El Campo & Sugar Land.

It’s no understatement to say that urinary incontinence can be an embarrassing problem. After all, losing control of your bladder can be extremely inconvenient, mortifying, and downright depressing. When you don’t know when you’re going to lose control of your bladder, it can make you feel self-conscious and fearful. What’s more, if you’re at work or running errands with loved ones, it can be frustrating to take time away from your schedule to deal with bladder issues.
Urinary incontinence can range in severity. For some, this condition is as simple as having urine leak occasionally when you’re sneezing; for others, it can be so strong and frequent that you often don’t make it to the toilet before you lose control of your bladder.
Fortunately, there’s a new treatment out there that can help people take control of their bladders again – and it’s all in the form of an innovative shot.
At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her talented staff members are proud to offer the Female Intimate Wellness Treatment, a new treatment that’s designed to minimize the symptoms of urinary incontinence. The O-Shot utilizes the patient’s platelet rich plasma (PRP) from the blood, which is then treated with a unique calcium chloride solution. For some treatments, Dr. Nhi Le will also add Juvederm or Restalyne to the solution. Once this solution has been created, Dr. Nhi Le will inject the solution to the treatment area, which can help reduce the symptoms of urinary incontinence almost immediately.
In addition to treating common UI symptoms (including the sudden urge to go to the bathroom or losing control of your bladder when you sneeze or laugh), the Female Intimate Wellness Treatment can also have the following benefits:
- Greater arousal from clitoral stimulation
- Tighter vaginal opening
- Increased natural lubrication
- Stronger and more frequent orgasms
- Increased sexual desire
- And more
In fact, when you receive the Female Intimate Wellness Treatment, don’t be surprised if your sex life starts to drastically improve as your urinary incontinence symptoms plummet!
Dr. Nhi Le is certified by the American Cosmetic Cellular Medicine Association and Dr. Charles Runels, the inventor of the Female Intimate Wellness Treatment.

The Vampire Breast Lift

Let’s face it: you’d love to increase the size and firmness of your bust line. Whether you want to go up a cup size or simple want to increase your cleavage, there’s no denying that you’d jump at the chance to undergo a breast augmentation. Except, of course, you don’t have the time or the inclination to actually undergo the procedure.
Breast augmentations and breast lifts are highly invasive and aggressive surgical procedures that take weeks (even months) to recover from. For many women, there’s simply not enough time to devote to recovery. What’s more, many women are unwilling to undergo such an invasive surgery, all in the name of enhancing their bust lines.
If you consider yourself one of these women, you’re in luck: there’s a new treatment out there that’s designed to lift and firm your bust line without the need for surgery.
And a vampire inspired it all.
At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her staff are proud to offer clients the innovative new Vampire Breast Lift. This procedure was inspired by the Vampire Facelift, which uses the platelets from the blood’s plasma to reinvigorate and rejuvenate facial skin. Because platelets can be supercharged to heal the skin, enhance collagen production, and help stimulate growth, this means that your own blood holds the secret to enhanced breasts and cleavage.
- Dr. Le will withdraw blood from you. This is the same procedure that you’d follow for a normal blood test.
- Once the blood has been drawn, Dr. Le will use a special machine to separate the platelets from the red blood cells. This is an essential step, as it helps to prepare the platelets for the injection.
- Dr. Le will introduce the platelets to a calcium chloride solution, as well as small amounts of Restalyne or Juvederm, which helps optimize the platelets’ growth potential. After this step, the new solution is injected into the treatment area.
Once injected, the platelets quickly get to work, stimulating the growth of new tissue while enhancing collagen levels. The end result? Firmer, more lifted breasts that look as though you’ve gone under a breast augmentation.
Dr. Le is the only provider of the Vampire Breast Lift in the greater Victoria area. She’s certified by Dr. Charles Runels, the inventor of the Vampire Facelift, as well as the American Cosmetic Cellular Medicine Association.

The Vampire Facelift at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa

Vampires have been everywhere lately. From popular cinema and literature to TV shows and magazines, it seems you can’t turn around without bumping into an indicator of how crazy we are for vampires. As it turns out, the vampire craze has even made it to the world of beauty, thanks to a new and innovative facelift treatment with powerful results:
The Vampire Facelift.
Whether you’ve heard of the Vampire Facelift before (or have seen pictures of TV personality Kim Kardashian undergoing the treatment) or this is the first time you’ve come across it, it’s time to discover how the Vampire Facelift can turn back the hands of time on your facial complexion.
The Vampire Facelift is specifically designed to help individuals who are undergoing the three most common signs of aging:
- As skin gets less blood flow, skin color becomes gray or yellow looking in appearance.
- The shape of your face begins to get saggy and collapse, as the muscles become older and your skin’s collagen levels start to decrease.
- The texture of your skin becomes less smooth, which results in a more worn-out or tired-looking appearance.
So how does the Vampire Facelift counteract these results? Simple: it uses the platelet-rich plasma from your blood to restore your facial shape, stimulate collagen production, and reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines. During your procedure, the cosmetic expert will draw your blood and place it in a special machine that’s designed to isolate the plasma from the blood. After going through this process, the expert injects the plasma back into the face, which immediately go to work stimulating growth, increasing collagen levels, and stimulating more blood flow to the face.
The end result? A more natural-looking and youthful visage that would rival anything you could experience from a filler or Botox injection.
If you’re ready to experience the restorative powers of the Vampire Facelift, visit Dr. Nhi Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. Dr. Le is the only provider of the Vampire Facelift in the greater Victoria area – what’s more, she’s certified by Dr. Charles Runels, the inventor of the Vampire Facelift, as well as the American Cosmetic Cellular Medicine Association.

When it comes to heating things up in the bedroom, you’re always game for trying something new and fun. But as of late, the fires of love have been burning a little dim – and you’re eager to stoke up those fires again.

Either way, something is going on downstairs – and you’re ready to solve the mystery.

- Dyspareunia (the woman suffers from real sexual pain)
The O-Shot works to counteract these conditions by encouraging the growth of new, younger, and sensitive tissue. Dr. Nhi Le will collect platelet rich plasma (PRP) from the patient’s blood, and inject it into the woman’s treatment area. The extra calcium chloride contained in the PRP helps stimulate the growth of new tissue, which helps rejuvenate and enhance the sexual response system.

Greater arousal from clitoral stimulation- Younger, smooth vulva skin

A Discrete and Effective Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction

For many men, decreased testosterone levels can manifest through a variety of symptoms and conditions – none of which is more disheartening than erectile dysfunction. When testosterone levels dip, the ability to achieve and maintain firm erections is immediately impacted, as it becomes difficult for the body to increase blood flow into the penis.
While erectile dysfunction is treated with a variety of medications, the truth is that not all of them are the most convenient or even safe for consistent use. Men who have heart conditions are not allowed to take common erectile dysfunction medications. It’s a terrible Catch-22: you’re more likely to have erectile dysfunction with low testosterone levels, which also put you at risk for developing heart disease, high blood pressure, and other dangerous symptoms.
If your sex life or self-confidence is suffering from erectile dysfunction, it’s time to discover a new treatment that won’t put your heart at risk: the Priapus Shot (or “P Shot”).
This unique and innovative injection was developed based on the following premise: if cosmetic treatments that utilize platelet-rich plasma (or PRP) are able to produce firmer facial skin by stimulating healthy blood flow, then couldn’t a similar approach be taken toward those suffering from erectile dysfunction? In fact, the creator of The Vampire Facelift (which utilizes PRP treatments) who developed the Priapus Shot for those who find it difficult to maintain an erection. You can check out the official Priapus Shot website here.
There are many advantages to using the Priapus Shot, which include the following:
- Results are immediate; in fact, as soon as the shot is administered, the penis becomes fuller and firmer. This can straighten and strengthen the penis, which is ideal for men who may be self-conscious of its shape.
- There are little to no side effects, as the Priapus Shot is created from the PRP within your own body.
- There’s a noticeable increase in size, with increased blood circulation. This helps to create a much healthier penis, thus cutting down risks for future erectile dysfunction.
- If you take erectile dysfunction medications, the Priapus Shot actually helps these medications work better.
- There’s no lumpiness associated with this treatment, so you’ll achieve the aesthetic look that will make you feel confident again.
If you’re interested in the Priapus Shot, visit Dr. Nhi Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Center in Victoria, TX today. We serve all of South Texas, including the gulf coast region from Corpus Christi, San Antonio and Sugar Land.

Summer is almost here, and that means the return of warmer weather, short shorts, and sandals. But if you’re suffering with toenail fungus, you may not be as excited about the chance to show off your toes. In fact, you may be wondering how to bury your feet in the sand so others won’t notice your toenail fungus.
Whether you’ve used over-the-counter treatments or have even enlisted the aid of a physician in your question for clear nails, the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas can provide you with the superior answer to nail fungus removal. Rather than using messy creams, antibiotics or other medications to remove the fungus, Dr. Nhi Le and her licensed staff members utilize a unique laser treatment to help you get clear and healthy toenails again.
How do you know if laser nail fungus removal in Victoria, TX is right for you? If you’re suffering from the following symptoms, make an appointment to see Dr. Nhi Le as soon as possible:
- Brittle toenails
- Yellowing or discolored toenails
- Thick toenails
Many anti-fungal treatments temporarily eliminate these symptoms, but they don’t effective cure the infection. This means that while you may experience temporary relief from your symptoms, it’s only ever going to be short-lived.
The PinPonte laser treatment at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa is designed to put an end to the cycle by eliminating the infection in your toenails. This laser treatment has been approved by the FDA, and is often believed to be one of the most efficient ways of getting rid of toenail fungal infections. The PinPonte laser treatment is virtually painless, and it can be done in office over your lunch break (most treatments take about 30 minutes to perform).
In order to fully clear up the infection, patients should expect to undergo three to five treatments. However, patients may see significant results even after a single session, which means you don’t have to wait weeks to experience relief from the infection like you would with oral or topical medications. No adverse side effects have been reported with this treatment, making it an ideal choice for all patients.
If you’re ready to get your toes summer-ready, visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa today. Located in Victoria, TX, along the Texas gulf coast, we’re just a short drive from Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, Port Lavaca, El Campo & Sugar Land.
