Is Laser Tattoo Removal Safe For Me?

- May 6, 2014
That tattoo on your lower back seemed like a good idea when you were eighteen (it was actually seventeen…but no one needs to know). Now that you’re older and much wiser, you’re not so proud of your tattoo anymore. In fact, you’re so self-conscious about it that you cringe whenever you wear a bathing suit or bend over, thus revealing the colorful evidence of your less-than-stellar teenage judgment.
No matter what the story might be behind your tattoo, you’re ready to move on with your life – and you want to leave your tattoo behind in the dust. Whether you need to get rid of an ex’s name or just aren’t that into butterflies anymore, laser tattoo removal is something that’s certainly intrigued you.
But how can you know if it’s really safe for you?
At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her licensed team of aesthetic professionals are committed to providing individuals with superior laser tattoo removal. The equipment at this prestigious medical spa (recently named the best medical spa in the region by Victoria Advocate) can effectively minimize and remove a tattoo of any size, shape, and color – and all with minimal discomfort and scarring.
Want to know how the laser tattoo removal procedure works? Take a look:
- Dr. Nhi Le or one of her aestheticians will have a consultation with you to determine how many treatments you’ll need to remove your tattoo. Not all tattoos are alike, which means that larger and more colorful tattoos will need more treatments than a small colorless tattoo. Additionally, the age of the tattoo will make a difference: a tattoo that’s recent will be easier to remove than an old tattoo, as the latter has ink that’s more embedded in the skin.
- After determining the number of sessions needed, you’ll undergo your first laser tattoo removal treatment. Patients should expect some pain during the initial treatment, but it’s not as painful as when it was initially inked. Dr. Nhi Le can also use numbing cream to help ease any discomfort you feel during the treatment.
After your treatment, you may experience some swelling and blistering in the treatment area. Some slight bleeding can also be expected. You’ll be given instructions by Dr. Nhi Le on how to care for the treated area. Laser treatments can be performed every six to eight weeks.

What is the HydraFacial MD?

- April 30, 2014
When it comes to clear and refreshed complexions, one only needs to look to Hollywood to see glamorous examples of how starlets shine on the red carpet. Their skin practically oozes light, while you’d be hard-pressed to find one zit, brown spot, or any other sign of discoloration. While these stars have certainly been genetically blessed, it’s important to note that they have some of the best skin care secrets up their sleeves…
And one of those secrets is the HydraFacial MD.
This might sound like just your typical facial, but take a closer look: the HydraFacial MD is actually an innovative skincare regimen that detoxifies, rejuvenates, and protects your skin from aging free radicals. In just the span of a single session, your facial skin can go from dull and uninspired to bright, beautiful and clear.
The HydraFacial MD is so great at producing results because it utilizes the brand’s patented HydroPeel tips, which has multiple peeling edges that exfoliates the skin. This allows dead skin to be brushed away, while a new and younger-looking complexion is allowed to shine through. What’s more, the unique spiral design effectively dislodges impurities from the skin, which can help reduce pore size and prevent future breakouts.
Want to learn more about the steps behind HydraFacial MD? Take a look:
The first step is to remove the dead skin that’s clogging your facial features. Once the dead skin cells are removed, your aesthetician will move to the next step.
- A gentle acid peel is applied to the face, which helps loosen dirt from the pores without causing irritation or redness.
- During the third step, your aesthetician will remove impurities using a vortex suction. This helps clean out your pores without leaving behind any scars or pock marks.
- At this stage, your aesthetician will use a special antioxidant serum enriched with hyaluronic acid for maximum skin repair and hydration. The result is beautiful and glowing skin.
- The final stage involves providing you with Daily Essentials to help maintain and protect your beautiful new results. This is an innovative skin care line you’ll only find in the finest medical spas in the country.
Not only does the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa offer the HydraFacial MD, but they also have the only medical grade machine in Victoria that can boost collagen production and reduce wrinkles. This machine, which can only be used under a doctor’s supervision, utilizes specialty serums such as Glysal MD and Dermabuilder.
If you’re ready to experience the amazing results of the HydraFacial MD for yourself, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nhi Le and her licensed staff members at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX today.

Stress and Adrenal Fatigue
- 0 Comment(s)
- March 31, 2014
Let’s face it: it takes you a long time to feel awake in the mornings. No matter how early you go to bed at night, it seems like an effort to wake up with the alarm clock in time for work. Sure, you experience a sudden rush of energy just before lunch time – but before you know it, you’re feeling exhausted again. This pattern continues in waves, where every few hours you receive a surge in energy, only to encounter a sudden and debilitating crash.
It’s not your schedule that’s making it tough to stay awake, nor is it the stress of your day-to-day job. In fact, there’s a name for this condition – and despite the fact that it affects a large number of Americans, it’s still relatively unknown within medical fields. This condition is known as “adrenal fatigue,” and it’s number one cause is – you guessed it – stressed.
When we experience stress, our adrenal gland – which is responsible for helping us get the energy we need to tackle a tough project or power through a busy day – pumps out cortisol, which provides a stimulating effect. However, the adrenal gland wasn’t designed to program in such a way, which is why people who feel chronically stressed are more likely to suffer from adrenal fatigue. The gland becomes so overworked by the constant stress that it starts to decrease in function. This causes cortisol levels to significantly drop, making it difficult for individuals to feel alert and awake at normal times.
Unfortunately, adrenal fatigue isn’t eliminated by just catching up on your sleep. In order to reverse the debilitating long-term effects of adrenal fatigue, it’s important for individuals to learn how to manage their stress levels, with steps including:
- Leading a fulfilling life outside of work
- Managing projects at work in a healthy and productive manner
- Eating a healthy and well-rounded diet
- Getting plenty of exercise (at least three hours of cardio each week)
- Engaging in fun activities with positive people
If you’re feeling stressed and fatigued consider having your cortisol levels measured through a simple saliva test. Dr. Le can diagnose and treat adrenal hormone insufficiency through medication as well as supplements to help support the adrenal gland.
Stress-induced fatigue typically follows a pattern where patients consistently don’t sleep well. This often leads to a craving of sugar to keep them going. These patients often have low blood sugar and can even have low blood pressure, which is the final stage of adrenal fatigue.
There are also a number of alternative treatments that can treat adrenal fatigue. If you think you have adrenal fatigue – or would like to know more about your treatment options – visit Dr. Nhi Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Center in Victoria, TX today. We serve the entire Texas gulf coast, from Corpus Christi to Port Lavaca to Houston, as well as San Antonio and Austin.

Predict Your Heart’s Future with the Endothelix Vascular Function Test

At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her talented staff members are focused on ensuring that clients look as good as they feel. From massages and facials to skin fillers and medical weight loss, Fountain of Youth is a client’s one-stop shop for all his or her aesthetic needs.
But making our patients look beautiful isn’t our only concern; in fact, Dr. Nhi Le is proud to announce the availability of a new test at the Medical Spa – a test that can make it possible for clients to understand their risk for developing certain heart conditions and diseases, including heart attacks.
In honor of February, which is American Heart Month, Fountain of Youth Medical Spa is inviting clients to come test out our Endothelix Vascular Function test, which can help identify common heart risks and put cardiovascular health information right at your fingertips. With this test, clients can find it easier to maintain their heart health and take critical steps to cut down their risks of getting a heart attack.
Here’s how the Endothelix Vascular Function test works:
- The first stage of the test begins by taking your blood pressure using an automated cuff device. Much like the devices you can find in pharmacies, you simply insert your arm into the cuff and wait for the device to take your blood pressure. This process takes approximately two to five minutes, in which the cuff measures your vascular reactivity. When the cuff releases its pressure on your arm, the device measures the blood flow into the forearm and hand, which is directly related to your vascular reactivity.
- After taking the test, you’ll see instantaneous results that help you better understand your cardiovascular health. During this time, Dr. Nhi Le can help you better understand what your results mean, and what steps you can take to adjust your daily habits to keep your heart healthy and strong.
Staying beautiful means being healthy inside and out. That’s why we invite all clients to predict their heart’s future by taking the Endothelix Vascular Function test at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX. We conveniently serve the entire Texas Gulf Coast, including Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Sugarland, El Campo & Port Lavaca.

Visit Our CardioHealth® Station at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa

February is often thought of as the month where hearts and flowers are in bloom, thanks to the presence of Cupid. February is American Heart Health month, which is designed to help more Americans become aware of how diet, exercise, and even lifestyle can contribute to heart diseases and increase risks for heart attacks.
At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her staff members are dedicated to providing clients with access to information and services that can help them lead healthier lives. It’s Dr. Le’s hope that by doing this, her clients and their family members can make the right choices that cut down on their heart attack risks, as well as other serious and even fatal heart diseases.
One of the most innovations that Dr. Le offers at her Victoria, TX medical spa is the CardioHealth® Station, a unique technology that makes it possible for Dr. Le to measure and assess a client’s heart for its potential risk for heart attacks, disease, and other dangerous maladies. While many factors including blood pressure and cholesterol can provide us with a vague idea of how healthy our hearts are, these factors alone are often not enough to provide clients with the vital life-saving information they need. The CardioHealth® Station, on the other hand, approaches heart assessments from a more comprehensive standpoint by utilizing ultrasound imaging technologies. These images can give physicians like Dr. Le the information they need to come up with the most personalized and effective preventative medicine treatment for those clients with significant risks.
The CardioHealth® Station is ideal for measuring the following factors:
- If a client has significant hidden plague within the carotid arteries. A presence of plaque increases the likelihood that a client could experience a heart attack; therefore, Dr. Le can use this image to recommend a preventative course of action.
- If a client has a thick carotid wall. This is usually indicative of heart abnormalities and diseases, which can give Dr. Le the information she needs to make effective and healthy recommendations.
To discover how healthy your heart truly is with the CardioHealth® Station, visit Dr. Nhi Le and her staff at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX. We serve the entire Texas Gulf Coast, including Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Sugarland, El Campo & Port Lavaca.

If you think that anti-aging injections like Botox is just for women, then you’re missing out on one of the best weapons against those stubborn wrinkles, fine lines, and creases that form on an almost-daily basis. Sure, the starlets of Hollywood may all espouse the benefits of using Botox – but what you don’t know is that men use it, too. In fact, more men than ever are turning to Botox to maintain their looks, not to erase wrinkles and fine lines.
Think of it as akin to getting that coveted salt-and-pepper look for your hair: you want to show you’re experienced, but you don’t exactly want your wrinkles to give away your real age.
Men’s Botox (also know as “BroTox“) can be used to enhance your youthful vigor and vitality- and you’ll find these treatments at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. Dr. Nhi Le and her talented staff members are highly trained in administering Botox injections for that perfect look. You won’t look “overdone,” nor will it appear obvious that you’ve had Botox. Instead, all of your friends and family members will muse as to the secret behind your renewed vigor and youthful-looking appearance.
Botox is a unique skin treatment that utilizes a muscle relaxant to soften the facial muscles that are responsible for many of your movements. From frown creases to laugh lines, Botox can smooth away all of your wrinkles, resulting in a youthful appearance that will make you look decades younger. Many of these results can be maintained for up to six months, at which point you’ll need to receive additional injections to enhance your newfound vigor.
Of course, many men are fearful of Botox injections because they don’t want to end up looking like Sylvester Stallone circa now. After all, you’re not afraid of getting older – you’re just not ready to look like your old man yet.
At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her staff members are highly experienced in injecting just the right amount of Botox treatments. You’ll end up with smoothed wrinkles, not an immobile forehead that’s a dead giveaway for treatments. Come in and give men’s Botox a try – we guarantee you’ll be amazed at your results.

After all, no new mommy is alike, which is why Dr. Nhi Le and her staff members are pleased to offer the following Mommy Makeover treatment options:
- Weight Reduction: You have more important things to worry about than counting calories and planning out weekly meals. That’s why so many new mommies love the Mommy Makeover weight reduction treatments, which includes a specialized protein diet or medical weight loss. Both options are guided and supervised by Dr. Nhi Le, and includes meal plans, supplements, and medical appointments.
- Stretch Marks: We utilize Fraxel technology’s laser-light energy to kick-start the body’s natural collagen production, which helps turn over skin cells faster. This means that your stretch marks will disappear faster, thus restoring your confidence.
- Spider Veins: We use Asclera to reduce the look of prominent spider veins, which is an injection that closes up varicose vein walls. When this happens, blood can’t get through the vein, thus causing the vein to die and be absorbed by the body. In other words, it disappears altogether.
- Chemical Peel: Whether you want to eliminate your pregnancy mask or just refresh your facial complexion, our chemical peels can restore your skin and produce a flawless appearance.
