- November 23, 2012
Ancient Spanish conquistadors searched the southern parts of America for the legendary Fountain of Youth – but all you’re looking for is the perfect anti-aging solution that will fade those fine lines and wrinkles.
You feel like a million bucks, and you enjoy being active. However, all those years of laughter and smiling have resulted in those formidable crow’s feet, fine lines, and facial wrinkles. While you wouldn’t give up the experiences that led to these wrinkles, there’s no denying that you’re on the hunt for an anti-aging solution that will make you look years – even decades – younger.
You don’t have to hunt through the swamps of southern Texas for your own personal fountain of youth – because at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, we’re the only medical spa on the gulf coast offering the innovative EndyMed Fractional Skin Resurfacing treatments!
What is EndyMed Fractional Skin Resurfacing?
EndyMed Fractional Skin Resurfacing – otherwise known as EndyMed FSR – is a three-dimensional skin resurfacing treatment that brightens skin, smoothes wrinkles and scars, and improves the general appearance of the facial skin. EndyMed FSR is an FDA approved and scientifically-proven technology that uses 3DEEP RF, ‘RF’ meaning radio frequency. This provides deep dermal heating to the lower skin layers and micro-fractional ablation to the top layer of the skin.
In other words, while the EndyMed FSR treatment is plumping out the wrinkles and fine lines on the epidermis, it’s also working at stimulating collagen production in the lower skin levels.
What Can EndyMed FSR Treat?
Now that you know what EndyMed FSR can do, there’s only one question remaining: what can it treat?
- Hyperpigmentation and Brown Spots: The non-ablative laser treatment can fade the appearance of brown spots by helping the skin to renew itself faster. This means that you’ll see those troublesome spots and freckles disappearing quickly.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: EndyMed FSR is best known for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and other stubborn lines that appear over time. The increased collagen production plumps out wrinkles, while the continual skin renewal reduces the appearance of stubborn lines.
- Dull Skin: With all that collagen production stimulated, you can expect to see your skin brighten and look absolutely refreshed as well as youthful!
Just as important as what Endymed treats is who it treats. There are no skin types that cannot see the beautiful results of these treatments. From smaller pores to less scars or spots, your skin will be glowing after your Endymed treatments.
EndyMed FSR treatments are minimally invasive and take little time for recovery. You will need to wear sunscreen after your treatment, as the laser technology will make your skin much more sensitive.

When it comes to achieving a smooth and youthful face, you’re not afraid to invest in expensive creams and other facial treatments. Sure, you know that wrinkles and fine lines come along with aging – and you wouldn’t trade the experience of getting older for anything in the world. But that doesn’t mean you want to let the world know how old you are – especially when there are facial treatments out there that can make you look years younger!
At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, we understand that you want to highlight your beautiful skin while minimizing facial flaws. That’s why we offer a range of facial treatments, including laser smoothing and laser rejuvenations. By harnessing the power of new technologies, we can offer our clients the kind of facial treatments that unleash your natural youth and vitality.
So how can a laser peel or laser rejuvenation treatment help you look as young as you feel?
The RevLite Si Laser Peel: The Ideal Facial Treatment
While there are many laser smoothing treatments on the market today, none is more powerful and efficient than the RevLite Si laser smoothing, an FDA- approved treatment.
You see, the reason why wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet are more likely to show up on aging skin is because the natural collagen our bodies produce diminishes as we grow older. This means that the skin becomes less soft and supple, meaning wrinkles are more likely to show up than when we were younger. The RevLite Laser smoothing treatment –which is a photo acoustic laser – “reverses” this aging process by stimulating flagging collagen production. Think of it as giving your collagen levels the kick-start it needs to make your skin look young again.
RevLite Si Laser smoothing is available in a variety of strengths, all with their own benefits:
- Q Switched ND Yag 1064 nm: Can stimulate collagen production as well as smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is safe for a variety of skin types (particularly types four through six) because it allows for skin smoothing with no marks.
- Q Switched Alexandrite: This laser is released in short pulses, which makes this an idea laser level for age spots, brown spots, and pigmented lesions.
- Q Switched 532 nm: This ideal wavelength makes it easier to promote natural collagen production within your skin, resulting in a softer, brighter, and more youthful appearance.
This laser smoothing treatment is perfect for all skin types and colors, which means everyone can enjoy this fantastic treatment. This smoothing process can help you achieve the following results:
- A youthful glow
- Even skin tone
- A smooth surface
- A clear complexion
- Supple skin that looks amazing
As you can see, RevLite Si Laser is perfect for a variety of skin treatments, which gives you a comprehensive experience of high-quality skin care.
Using RevLite Si Laser for Facial Rejuvenation
At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, we also use RevLite Si Laser treatments for facial rejuvenation. In addition to treating wrinkles, laser rejuvenation can address brown pigments, melasma, and other facial blemishes.

Remove Your Unwanted Tattoos with Laser Tattoo Removal

Did you know that, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, 24 percent of Americans between the ages of 18-50 have at least one tattoo? While tattoos have risen in popularity over the past few decades, as people age and trends shift, the desire for tattoo removal has also been increasing.
At the Fountain of Youth Med Spa in Victoria, TX we can help eliminate your unwanted tattoos. Whether you had a few too many drinks and immediately regret your fresh ink, or you’ve had a tattoo for years that’s now looking ragged or wrinkled, we can help remove them!
Another interesting trend when it comes to tattoos is the tattoo ban by many employers. Even the military, once known as a haven for ink, prohibits “full-sleeve tattoos,” as well as half and quarter-sleeve tattoos that are visible. In an economy where the job market is tight, and competition is stiff, you’d hate to lose out to someone simply because you have a tattoo.
Dr. Nhi Le of the Fountain of Youth uses the Cynosure RevLite SI tattoo removal laser. This is the gold standard in laser tattoo removal for multi-colored tattoo removal, and it is the first of its kind in Victoria! This machine removes more amounts of colors that many of its competitors through its unique PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse (PTP).
The sophisticated, double-pulse technology harnesses up to 60% morepower than single pulse lasers, helping the laser penetrate more deeply and cover more surface area. The PhotoAcoustic energy used safely penetrates the skin to target the tattoo at its core. Each pass of the laser vibrates and gently shatters the tattoo ink into micro-particles that are eventually removed from the body through natural processes.
If you have an unwanted tattoo that you want removed, and you’re near the Texas gulf coast, including Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin and Houston, then talk to Dr. Le today. Simply fill out the form in the top right corner or call 361-576-9100 to learn more.
Thyroid Hormone Supplements and Your Body

When it comes to losing weight and feeling energetic, you may think that you only need to eat well, exercise daily, and take a multi-vitamin. Yet if you’re still confused as to why you’re gaining weight or feeling tired all the time, you may need to look at your thyroid for a more complete picture.
Your thyroid is a gland located on the side of your neck, and it’s responsible for maintaining your metabolism. As you may already know, your metabolism helps determine how quickly you burn off the calories you consume. The faster your metabolism, the more energy you burn – and the thinner you’ll be as a result. If your metabolism has slowed down, on the other hand, you’ll not only have trouble losing weight – you’ll keep gaining weight, even if you’re eating healthy.
So what can you do to regulate your thyroid function? Simple: use thyroid hormone supplements.
Thyroid Hormone Supplements at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa
At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, Dr. Nhi Le and her professional technicians are dedicated to providing you with a complete picture of your hormonal health. If you suspect you’re suffering from a sluggish thyroid, come to the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa to experience our thyroid hormone supplement therapy.
Before you begin the therapy, Dr. Nhi Le will meet with you to determine if you’re a viable candidate for thyroid hormone supplement. Key signs that you’d be a viable candidate include:
- Feeling tired all the time
- Dealing with feelings of depression
- Suffering from constant dry skin and weak nails
- Constipation
- Feeling cold all the time
- Mental fogginess and difficulty concentrating
- Irregular periods
- Heavy periods
Discuss these symptoms with Dr. Nhi Le, as they’re signs of an under-active thyroid. Once Dr. Nhi Le has determined that you’re a candidate, you’ll be given thyroid hormone supplements to speed up your thyroid functions.
Dr. Le will also explain to each patient Synthroid (a synthetic levothyoxine sodium/T4 thyroid hormone replacement drug) with Armour Thyroid (a naturally derived T4/T3 drug). T3 & T4 are two different hormone replacement treatments that are sometimes combined together. An expert in her field, Dr. Le will make sure you understand how each works and which is safest for you.
After several weeks of treatment, you should feel more energetic and even begin to lose weight. You’ll need to schedule follow-up appointments with Dr. Nhi Le to ensure that the thyroid hormone therapy is working well with your body.
DHEA Hormone Therapy and Your Body: Is It Right For You?

When it comes to looking and feeling your best, you know that eating healthy, exercising, and enjoying a happy and healthy lifestyle is key to feeling great. But sometimes that’s not enough to achieve the kind of fulfilled and happy lifestyle you want. If you’re feeling like you’re operating under a mental fog, can’t shake depression, or feel like you’re weak and tired, you may significantly benefit from DHEA hormone therapy.
At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, we work hard to provide our clients with a comprehensive view of their health. That’s why we not only provide body and facial treatments; we also provide hormone replacement therapies that can make you feel better from the inside out.
Stable DHEA hormone levels have many benefits. These benefits include the following:
- Weight loss
- Reducing menstrual symptoms, including period pain, bloating, and fatigue
- Boosting the overall function of the immune system
- Fighting depression and schizophrenia
- Strengthen bones
- Preventing heart disease
- Preventing breast cancer
- Increasing your metabolic function
- Strengthening the vaginal walls, thus improving sexual function
With all these benefits, it’s no wonder more clients are interested in DHEA hormone therapy. So what is DHEA hormone therapy, and how do you know if it’s right for you?
Experience DHEA Hormone Therapy at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa
First, it’s important to point out what the DHEA hormone is. DHEA stands for dehydroepiandrosterone, which many medical experts regard as a “parent hormone.” This is because DHEA is secreted from the adrenal gland (it’s also secreted from the testes) and determines whether the hormone will become testosterone or estrogen (hence, why it’s referred to as a “parent” hormone!).
Hormone therapy, or bio-identical DHEA, is designed to help supplement the body when its natural hormone levels start to decrease. Thanks to hormone therapy, patients could be able to lose weight, increase their energy, increase their sexual drive, and enjoy a happy and healthy lifestyle.
If you’re interested in experiencing DHEA hormone therapy, 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, Houston, Sugarland & the entire Texas gulf coast. You’ll meet with Dr. Nhi Le to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of therapy for your needs. You’ll also meet with her for follow-up consultations to determine how your DHEA hormone therapy is working with your body.

Can You Drink Your Way to a Youthful Appearance?

When it comes to your appearance, there’s nothing you won’t do to keep those wrinkles and fine lines at bay. You’re willing to invest in expensive face creams, make appointments to receive Juvederm injections, and even take handfuls of health supplements every morning.
If this sounds like your daily schedule, then it’s time to introduce yourself to a new approach to anti-aging. However, this new way of fighting off wrinkles and fine lines has nothing to do with skin creams or facial injections. In fact, it’s a completely new approach to stimulating collagen growth and plumping up your skin.
It’s the anti-aging secret everyone’s dying to know about – and it’s as simple as a delicious drink.
Drinking Your Way to Youth
Here at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, we ensure that our clients always receive the cutting edge anti-aging solutions they crave. From the best facial treatments to intensive creams that erase even the deepest wrinkle, we pride ourselves on helping our clients unlock their own fountains of youth.
So when we discovered that it’s possible to drink your way to youth and vitality, we just knew we had to investigate further – and that’s when we discovered ApotheCure’s amazing new collagen/hyaluronic acid drink.
If you consider yourself an anti-aging junkie, then you already know that collagen and hyaluronic acid are two major buzzwords. Collagen is responsible for keeping our faces plump and youthful. When our collagen levels start to die down as we get older, this makes it harder for our bodies to maintain that younger look. Hyaluronic acid is a key ingredient in anti-aging treatments like Juvederm, as it serves to stimulate the growth of collagen.
By combining these two key ingredients in a simple beverage, ApotheCure has made it possible for people to experience a powerful anti-aging solution on the go.
What’s even better is that this drink has been shown to improve other key areas of your body’s health. Studies have shown that this collagen/hyaluronic acid drink can increase bone joint health, reduce the appearance of cellulite and even strengthen the vaginal wall – a key way to guarantee your next session in the sack is an explosive one!

A Secret Weapon to Fight Oxidative Stress – Revealed

- September 19, 2012
You know that aging is inevitable. But let’s face it: that thought isn’t exactly comforting when you’re staring at the wrinkles and fine lines starting to form on your face. And you could’ve sworn that a couple of weeks ago, you spotted your first gray hair.
You’re not ready to let the aging process make itself known on your face and body. You still feel youthful and energetic – so how can you make what you feel on the inside match how you look on the outside?
If you think you need to invest a month’s paycheck into expensive skin creams, think again. The real culprit behind those fine lines is oxidative stress – and if you want to turn back the clock, you need to fight back with a secret weapon known as Protandim.
So exactly is Protandim, and how does it help you look and feel ten years younger?
Protandim: Age-Defying Results with a Simple Health Supplement
Here at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, we know that oxidative stress is one of the biggest contributors to those fine lines, wrinkles, and gray hairs you’re starting to see. Oxidative stress builds up throughout the course of our lives due to constant exposure to pollution, poor dieting, and of course, stress. This creates a build-up of toxins and free radicals within the body, which makes our skin look dull and our hair start to go gray. These free radicals are also responsible for making you feel sluggish, tired, and rundown.
That’s exactly where Protandim comes into play. This unique health supplement is made up of phytonutrients, which works with the body to create a super antioxidant. This antioxidant is known as SOD CAT (superoxide dismustase catalyse), and it is one of the most powerful enzymes that fight excess free radicals within the body. Research supports these claims: studies have shown that Protandim can create enough SOD CAT enzymes to destroy tens of millions of free radicals in just seconds.
This means that in just a matter of days, you can be on your way towards achieving a more youthful appearance – complete with tons of energy and a new lease on life. And all you have to do is take a simple health supplement.
If you’re ready to experience the power of Protandim, contact the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa. We’re conveniently located in Victoria, TX, just a short drive from Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin & Houston. To learn more simply fill out the form in the top left corner or call 361-576-9100.
