When it comes to looking and feeling youthful, creams, lotions, and other topical treatments can certainly help you maintain a younger appearance. However, real anti-aging work needs to be done at the cellular level, as the aging process is ultimately determined by your body’s cell division processes.
Before a cell can divide, it needs to replicate all of the DNA material necessary for ensuring its survival. This is a controlled and highly intricate process, where the double helix needs to be unwound in order for all the genetic material to be copied. This process usually encounters difficulty when it reaches the telomeres, or the end of the chromosomes within the DNA strand.
Telomeres are directly responsible for protecting the end of the DNA strand so that the cell can properly replicate. When we’re young, our telomeres are long; as we get older, however, the telomeres become shorter, making it difficult for healthy cells to divide and replicate. In addition to the aging process, psychological stress can also cause telomeres to shorten, which might explain why people suffering from chronic stress appear much older than they actually are.
Wondering why you’re getting this short lesson in human biology? Simple: the longer your telomeres, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to look and feel younger. That’s why The Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX we provide telomere testing. We determine the average telomere lengths from a population sample in the same age range as you and then compare it to your telomere lengths.

- Improved eyesight

Once upon a time, hair removal used to be a painful and tedious process. Laser hair removal procedures took a considerable amount of time and required multiple treatments, all of which were prohibitively expensive for many would-be patients.

Cutera Excel HR technology also has a smaller spot for smaller treatment areas, making this an idea multi-faceted hair removal system.
There are many advantages and benefits to using the Cutera Excel HR hair removal system, including the following:
- It’s one of the first laser hair removal systems of its kind that can be used on all hair and skin types. Older laser hair removal systems weren’t meant for all hair types, especially those that were particularly thick or curly. What’s more, laser hair removal wasn’t recommended for darker skin, as it could cause considerable hyperpigmentation.
- It’s much more comfortable for the patient, which means that you can undergo a laser hair removal without experiencing as much pain as with traditional treatments. It’s also more intuitive for physicians to use, which may mean you’ll experience a shorter and more effective treatment than in times past.
To help make the treatment more comfortable, the Cutera Excel HR hair removal system cools on contact, thus minimizing any discomfort or heat that the patient might experience.

The Vampire Facelift: “Eternal” Radiance at the Fountain of Youth
- 0 Comment(s)
- November 5, 2013
Halloween season is here, and that means lots of costumes, trick or treating, and of course, vampires. But here at The Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, we’re not interested in vampires for costume ideas; instead, we’re looking at them as the inspiration for the latest anti-aging innovation in the beauty industry.
What is the Vampire Facelift?
The PRP Vampire Facelift is an ideal way to restore a youthful glow and vitality to the face, especially if you’re suffering from the following skin woes:
- Your skin has become sallow-looking, which makes your face appear gray or yellow.
- Your facial features and shape have become droopy as a result of losing skin-firming collagen.
- Your skin’s texture isn’t as smooth and resilient, which makes you look more tired and worn-out.
The Vampire Facelift is designed to address all of these issues by combining the face-lifting powers of hyaluronic acid fillers with stem cells from the patient’s own blood. These stem cells are isolated from the blood in real-time, then applied to the patient’s face to stimulate the growth of new tissue, which produces more collagen and blood vessels for a youthful and healthy glow.
The Secrets Behind the Vampire Facelift
A vampire facelift is an intricate procedure at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa, which utilizes the following three steps:
- First, Dr. Nhi Le will inject hyaluronic acid fillers to create a foundation for a smoother, more voluminous face. Dr. Le will either use Restalyne or Juvederm at this stage.
- Once the fillers have been injected, Dr. Le will draw blood from the client and utilize a special device – known as a centrifuge – to isolate the platelets from the blood. These platelets are known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which can help produce new skin tissue once applied to the face.
- After “activating” the platelets, Dr. Le will apply numbing cream to the face and utilize a small needle to place the multi-potent plasma back into the facial skin.
After the application process, the patient can expect to see youthful, revitalized, and glowing skin. Since the new look is the result of enhanced collagen levels, patients will be delighted to realize that the results are beautifully natural.
To experience the PRP Vampire Facelift for yourself, visit Dr. Nhi Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX today. We’re just a short drive from Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, Sugarland, El Campo & Houston. To learn more simply fill out the form in the top right corner or call 361-576-9100.

When it comes to improving the look and feel of your skin, you may have a few obstacles in your way. Acne scars, deep wrinkles, crow’s feet, and other fine lines might keep you from achieving the kind of complexion that looks flawless without foundation. And that’s just your facial skin – you also have a few stretch marks that you wouldn’t miss if they disappeared.

Ready to achieve your best complexion yet? Then it’s time to discover Dermapen, now available at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa.
The Dermapen Advantage
Dermapen is a unique skin treatment that involves no dermal fillers to achieve an ideal complexion; instead, this injectable takes advantage of the body’s natural healing processes. Each disposable single carries a number of stainless steel needles, which are used to puncture the skin at high speeds and specific angles. By creating a small injury to the skin, the body responds with a unique process that works to heal the skin. This creates new tissue growth, which effectively minimizes the look of scars, fine lines, and stretch marks over a period of time.
Dermapen represents a holistic approach to skincare that’s virtually pain-free. Despite the superficial dermal punctures, patients can be assured that there’s very little pain and discomfort involved in this process. What’s more, there’s no risk of allergic reaction, as there’s no toxins or fillers injected into the skin. This makes Dermapen an ideal solution for patients who may be allergic to ingredients found in other fillers and injections.
In addition to these benefits, Dermapen treatments are much faster than traditional injection treatments. With no side effects – including swelling, redness, and irritation – patients can stop in and receive a treatment without worrying about encountering any painful reactions.

Stretch marks are often the signs of a life that’s filled with victory. Think about it: you get stretch marks from being pregnant and losing weight – and those are some of the biggest personal achievements that anyone could ever boast about.
But no matter how much pride you put into your stretch marks, you don’t want to carry them around on your body forever. You’d like to slip into shorts or wear a bathing suit without worrying about what others might think about your stretch marks.

This causes the skin to become tighter and more elastic, resulting in a youthful appearance. What’s more, the increased collagen production means that old skin layers will be removed at a faster rate. This will greatly reduce the appearance of your stretch marks, which is critical for achieving the perfect complexion you’ve been striving for.
When you visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas for your stretch mark treatment, you’ll discover that the treatment is fast and virtually pain-free (some patients feel tingling or a slightly heated sensation when the technology is applied to the treatment area).
