When it comes to looking as young as you feel, you have a slight suspicion that you’ve been investing your life savings into your skin care regimen.

- One of the most popular injections we provide is Juvederm, which is a dermal filler that contains hyaluronic acid. Juvederm can help increase facial volume and contour the face, which promotes a more natural-looking appearance. This increase in facial volume can diminish the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet, which is critical for looking just as young as you feel. We can also use this dermal filler to plump up your lips.

Summer is just a few weeks away, which means you’re about to enjoy sun-drenched days filled with pool parties, bbqs, and afternoons at your favorite sandy beach or your lakeside retreat. While this is usually cause for excitement, you might be feeling less joyful than usual – especially if you’re suffering from a toenail fungus.

You’re diligent about your skincare and anti-aging regimen. You only apply the best skin creams to your face, and you’re diligent about filling your diet with skin-boosting vitamins and minerals. In fact, you’re so determined to maintain your glowing visage that you rarely apply make-up to your face for fear of clogging your pores and marring your complexion.
But did you know that there’s a new cosmetic movement that not only contains the most powerful skin serums and anti-aging products – it also has make-up products that are actually good for you?

For skeptics of cosmeceutials, take note: many dermatological studies have demonstrated that bioactive ingredients can improve the skin’s complexion, texture and appearance just as well – if not better – than traditional skin creams and treatments.
At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her staff are proud to offer some of the most effective and powerful cosmeceutical products. These include the following:

Achieve A Youthful Look with a Non-Invasive Neck Lift

- April 23, 2013
When it comes to looking as young as you feel, you’ve invested tons of time and money into the best face creams and treatments on the planet. But no matter how diligent you are about keeping your face looking young, there’s no denying that your neck can often give away your real age. After all, neck wrinkles can be much deeper than those found on the face – but oddly enough, many people forget to moisturize their necks when undergoing their skincare regimen.
If you’re ready to help your neck catch up with your face –without the pain and expense of a traditional neck lift – then it’s time to visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.
Discover The Ultimate Non-Invasive Neck Lift
Dr. Nhi Le and her friendly staff members have developed a new type of non-invasive neck lift that utilizes the skin-smoothing powers of Botox. By injecting Botox within the deepest neck creases, you can instantly relax these creases and significantly reduce their appearance. This procedure is safe to use and is non-invasive, so you don’t have to worry about taking weeks off from work just to recover.
In addition to receiving Botox injections, the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa’s non-invasive neck lift procedure also involves the use of the 3DEEP program by EndyMed Pro. This is a unique technology that utilizes the power of multi-source, phase-controlled radio frequency (RF) technology to produce heat pulses into the lower levels of the skin. This heat breaks up fat cells and increases collagen boosting production, which is crucial for producing tighter skin around the neck area.
Add to the fact that it blasts away fat cells – good-bye, saggy jowls and turkey neck! – and it’s no wonder this non-invasive neck lift procedure is just as effective as a traditional neck lift. Just keep in mind that EndyMed skin tightening usually requires about 6 treatments to see the best results, and we advise repeating your treatments every 2-3 months to maintain younger-looking skin.
Last, but not least consider our neck lift skin care product line to complete the trio for neck rejuvenation. Talk to Dr. Le about Neocutis Bioactive Serum or NanoVera cream. Both will hydrate your skin, smoothing out any wrinkles and keeping you looking your youngest!
Enjoy The Results of Your Non-Invasive Neck Lift
Because this neck lift procedure is non-invasive, recovery is virtually instant. However, the Botox effect is not instant, as it usually takes one week to see results.
That’s the age-defying power of our non-invasive neck lift procedure!
When you’re ready to enjoy a youthful appearance – and not just from the neck up – visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX- serving all of Corpus Christi, Austin & San Antonio – for your non-invasive neck lift consultation with Dr. Nhi Le today.

You may have enjoyed those warming sunshine rays during your youthful summers, but you’re deeply regretting your careless attitude about sun protection every time you look in the mirror. You can see sun spots and age spots starting to form on your visage, even though you still feel the same energy and vitality you did a decade ago.
If sun and age spots are marring your otherwise flawless complexion, you don’t have to resort to using expensive cover up or investing in skin creams that simply don’t deliver on their promises. Instead, head to Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas to discover how you can reverse the damage safely and effectively.
Take a look at some of the sun and age spot treatments we use to restore your glowing and flawless appearance. It’s just many of the reasons why our clients truly regard us as their own “Fountain of Youth”!
- Micro-peel: We use the innovative combination of a microdermabrasion along with a chemical peel to produce a wonderful complexion that’s free from sun and age spots. This intensive peel reveals fresh and youthful skin, and reduces the look of dark spots. Clients often achieve significant results after just one treatment, but dark age spots or sun spots require treatments every three months to maintain optimal results.
- Microdermabrasion: A microdermabrasion refreshes the appearance of the skin by removing the dull top layer of skin through intense exfoliation. This treatment can help reduce the appearance of spots, as well as clear up any acne scars or hyperpigmentation.
- Medical Chemical Peel: This peel uses a chemical solution that makes it easier to remove the dull and damaged top layers of skin. This can help eliminate uneven skin pigmentation, especially when incorporated into a regular skin care routine. We recommend that clients undergo three to five treatments for optimal results.
- IPL/Photofacial Treatments: This special non-ablative technology uses pulse durations and wavelengths to stimulate the production of collagen, which helps the body naturally produce new skin. This can help you eliminate sun and age spots without the downtime of chemical peels.
- Fraxel Resurfacing Laser: While Fraxel resurfacing lasers are often used to treat acne and smooth the facial skin, this innovative treatment can also reduce sun and age spots, thanks to its ability to increase collagen levels.
- Revlite Laser Rejuvenation: The Revlite laser can take years off your face by gently brightening and smoothing your skin, reducing the appearance of sun and age damage.
- Cosmeceuticals: We have a number of skin care products to diminish the signs of aging a sun damage, including Obagi Nuderm kit with Retin A, Neocutis Blanche cream, Bellederm skin lightening cream, Non HQ whitening cream and a specialty compounded bleaching cream by Dr Le.
You can help prevent aging and sun damage by regularly wearing an SPF 30 or higher. Dr Le suggests Neova Z- Silc SPF 45, Neova TiSilc SPF 60, or Solar Total Block Tizio3 SPF 40.
If you’re ready to reverse your facial spots caused by the aging process or too much sun in your youthful years, visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas to undergo one of our innovative and youth-enhancing treatments.

In the pursuit of a perfect complexion, you’ve invested significant time and money in attaining the kind of facial glow that’s usually reserved for A-list celebrities. However, no matter how many expensive facial creams or treatments you’ve invested in, you just can’t seem to eliminate the hyperpigmentation that’s marring your otherwise flawless visage.
Hyperpigmentation, or skin discoloration, is a common complexion issue that’s surprisingly difficult to resolve. This hyperpigmentation can be caused by many conditions, including sun spots, age spots, acne scars, and other discolorations that have made themselves a permanent part of your facial features. While many people suffer from hyperpigmentation, there’s no denying that you want to find a way to get a flawless complexion that will make your friends and family members jealous.
Hyperpigmentation Treatments at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa
If this sounds familiar to you, then it’s time to visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today. Dr. Nhi Le and her staff of talented medical professionals have worked hard to develop truly innovative and results-driven treatments that specialize in reducing and even eliminating the look of hyperpigmentation and skin discoloration.
Take a look at some of the treatments that allow us to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and other skin discolorations:
- Microdermabrasion: This intensive exfoliation treatment makes it possible for you to eliminate the look of spots and skin discolorations. Microdermabrasion removes the top layer of skin, which reveals the fresh and youthful skin lurking beneath the surface. With every microdermabrasion treatment, you’ll see spots fading until they’re practically non-existent.
- Medical Chemical Peel: This skin treatment uses a special chemical formula that removes the dead and dull layers of skin, thus quickly revealing the fresh and youthful skin underneath. Chemical peels may cause redness and intense peeling, so it’s important to schedule this skin discoloration treatment well before any special events or photo ops.
- Fraxel Resurfacing Laser: This special laser treatment is fantastic for hyperpigmentation and skin discoloration, as it stimulates the production of collagen within the skin. This allows the body to naturally shed dull skin layers faster, thus revealing a facial complexion that’s free from dark spots and other flaws.
- Revlite Laser Rejuvenation: This laser treatment brightens and smoothes skin instantly and gently.
- Endymed FSP: This treatment reduces pigments, wrinkles, pores, acne scars and more!
- Compound Bleaching Creams: This solution can help peel off melasma in only one week!
Dr. Le has experience treating all different skin types and skin tones. Ethnic skin requires special care and different treatments to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Remember after any hyperpigmentation treatment, especially lasers or peels, to wear sunscreen at all times and avoid prolonged sun exposure.

How to Treat Those Stubborn Scars

- March 15, 2013
No matter how careful you might be with your skin, there’s no denying that scars can mar even the most glamorous complexion. Whether you received a scar from roughhousing in childhood or you had to get stitches after slipping and falling on ice, scars can tarnish your facial complexion, leaving you feeling like you’re not putting your best face forward.
You don’t have to settle for less than perfection – especially with Fountain of Youth Medical Spa’s innovative scar fading treatments. Located in Victoria, Texas, our clients think of our medical spa as a beauty oasis where they can discover firmer, younger, and flawless skin again.
Whether your scars are a result of your previous battle with acne or you recently healed from an injury, here are the treatments options you’ll discover at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.
Eliminate Your Scar Quickly and Easily
When it comes to treating and eliminating the appearance of scars, it’s vital to treat scars as soon as they appear. This is because fresh scars are much easier to fade than old scars, which have had years – even decades – to become part of the skin. However, this doesn’t mean that you’re stuck with that old scar; here are the best treatment options to eliminate the look of your scar:
- Scar tape represents a fantastic quick fix if you only have a couple hours to eliminate the appearance of your scar. If you want a more natural look, consider picking up silicone scar gel from your local drugstore, which can cover up and slowly fade the appearance of scars over time.

If you want a more natural look, consider picking up silicone scar gel from your local drugstore, which can cover up and slowly fade the appearance of scars over time.- Keloids occur when there is an overgrowth of skin at the scar’s location. Usually keloids will be pink and rosy, and require different treatment options from normal scars. A medical technician at our spa can inject steroid shots to fade these scars and counteract skin growth. On a similar note, we can also use collagenase injections to treat old and new hypertrophic scars.
- If you need more advanced treatments for your scars, consider undergoing a microdermabrasion, which is an intense exfoliating treatment that removes the top layer of skin. To effectively fade the appearance of scars, you should undergo multiple treatments.
- Fraxel resurfacing lasers can also be essential for treating scars, as this stimulates the production of collagen within the skin. This enhanced collagen production makes it possible for your skin to renew itself faster, thus quickly fading the look of scars.
- Steroid injections can be used to reduce inflammation of hypertrophic scar
- Scar revision by Z incision scar repair can reduce size of scar and improve appearance
- Scars resulting from a burn to a large skin area or infected wound can now heal completely, like normal skin, with human stem cells and plasma rich in growth factors.
