If you’ve never given a second thought to your skin cleansers and toners, then it’s time to shake up your cleansing routine – and the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX will show you just how to do that.
Think of skin cleansers and toners like the foundation of your entire skincare regimen. No matter how effective or innovative your nighttime treatments, moisturizers, serums and creams, they won’t give you their optimal radiant results if your cleansers and toners are letting you down. After all, skin cleansers and toners are responsible for removing the dirt and toxins our delicate facial skin is exposed to everyday…
…And you can bet that any leftover dirt and free radicals will make it almost impossible for any skincare regimen to go to work.
So just what are some of the skin cleansers and toners we here at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa recommend? Take a look at the latest innovations in anti-aging, moisturizing and pore-shrinking cleansers and toners:
- Looking to smooth out bumps and make your skin look as gorgeous as satin? Then it’s time to stock your cleansing and toner arsenal with the NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash. Glycolic acid works to smooth texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines without irritating sensitive skin.
- Restore your skin back to its youthful glow with the BelleDerm AHA Cleanser. This wonder-cleanser is specifically formulated for mature skin, and combines the exfoliating powers of glycolic acid with gentle camphor to soothe stressed skin.
- If you’re looking for a natural approach to cleansing, then you’ll love the iS Clinical Cleansing Complex. This face wash is perfect for adults suffering from acne, as it contains pimple-blasting ingredients like wild willow bark and sugar cane extract.
- Looking for a one-size-fits-all approach to skin cleansing? Then the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Bioclean face wash will provide you with the perfect solution for gentle yet effective face cleansing that’s perfect for all skin types.
- Toners are an essential part of every skincare regimen, and nothing is more effective than the Neova Balancing Toner. Powerful fruit acids and silica blend together in perfect harmony to shrink pores and battle acne, all while providing a radiant finish.
- Got oily skin? Then arm yourself with Obagi C-Balancing Toner, which has been proven to reduce sebum production and restore a matte finish. Witch hazel and aloe provide soothing comfort, making this a perfect choice for those with delicate facial skin.

Bioidentical Hormones For Men and Women
- 0 Comment(s)
- August 17, 2011
When it comes to maintaining a happy and healthy lifestyle, our body’s hormones play a vital role in keeping our energy levels active. From testosterone’s many benefits – including an increased sex drive, greater feelings of confidence and high energy levels – to estrogen’s unique ability to slash risks of serious diseases and heart conditions, hormones are crucial to the health and well-being of both men and women.
However, sometimes the body simply doesn’t produce enough hormones to help the body function as it should. For example, men who suffer from low testosterone levels often report suffering from inhibited sex drives, sluggish energy levels and lower bone densities, while women with low estrogen suffer from skin problems and reproductive health issues. Additionally, high levels of testosterone and estrogen in women and men respectively come with their own myriad of health problems and difficulties.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a hormonal condition or believe to be suffering from symptoms of low or high hormonal production, then visit Dr. Nhi Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX to discover more about her unique Bioidentical Hormone Therapy.
Wondering just what bioidentical hormones are? Unlike hormones used in conventional therapies, bioidentical hormones are specifically designed to precisely match the unique chemistry of the hormones in your body. There are multiple benefits to using bioidentical hormones, which include the following:
- Most bioidentical hormones are derived from plant substances, which make them a more natural alternative to hormones that are produced in a pharmaceutical laboratory.
- Bioidentical hormones come in different doses, meaning you’ll receive a more attentive hormone therapy treatment that’s customized to your specific medical needs. Additionally, some of these bioidentical hormones can be obtained without a prescription, which makes it a lot easier on the wallet than what’s used in standard hormone therapies.
- Bioidentical hormones are customized to your medical needs based on saliva testing. Using the results from your saliva test, your bioidentical hormones will be constructed to suit your precise body chemistry. Conversely, standard hormone therapies generally follow a one-size-fits-all approach to medical treatment.
Dr. Le will work with you to diagnose and correct any hormonal imbalance using safe and effective bioidentical hormone therapies.
If you’re interested in learning more about bioidentical hormones for men and women or want to treat your own hormonal imbalance, then contact Dr. Nhi Le today at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX. You can fill out the form in the top right corner or simply call 361-576-9100.

Male Testosterone: A Surprising Answer to Your Low Energy Problems
- 0 Comment(s)
- August 12, 2011
If you believe that male testosterone is a hormone that exists purely as a sex drive function, then think again: studies have shown that male testosterone is one of the most effective ways to drop weight, increase energy levels and re-awaken a sluggish sex drive.
For those individuals who just can’t seem to roll out of bed in the mornings, male testosterone just might be the solution they’re looking for. While testosterone is a hormone that’s primarily produced in men, women have lower amounts of testosterone as well; therefore, it’s possible for both sexes to suffer from too-low testosterone levels. Patients who suffer from low levels of male testosterone are diagnosed with hypogonadism, which requires treatment via testosterone patches, gels, injections and other forms of testosterone replacement therapy.
So how do you know if you’re suffering from too-low levels of male testosterone? Take a look at the symptoms below:
- You’re always feeling tired or sluggish, even after getting your usual eight hours of sleep;
- You’re suddenly uninterested in sex. Your sex drive has nosedived, you can’t maintain erections, or you suffering from signs of infertility.
- You’ve quickly gained weight, lost bone density and suffer from breast tenderness. Some women who are suffering from low levels of male testosterone can also experience multiple hot flashes, which can be mistaken for menopause.
- Finally, individuals who are suffering from low levels of male testosterone may feel less confident or motivated than what they used to. They may also feel depressed and have a hard time concentrating.
Many of these symptoms are shared by other diseases and conditions that are a natural part of the aging process. If you’re displaying any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to see a medical professional who can give you an official diagnosis, as well as provide the testosterone treatments you need to get your life back on track again.
At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX, Dr. Nhi Le can help hypogonadism sufferers recover from low testosterone levels and get their spring back in their step. Dr. Le’s innovative Testosterone Replacement Therapy has been specifically formulated to help replace and encourage hormone production. Testosterone Replacement Therapy has been shown to improve energy levels, increase sex drive, skyrocket feelings of confidence and even help individuals lose stubborn weight.
If you’re suffering from any of the above symptoms and are interested in Testosterone Replacement Therapy, visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX today for diagnosis and treatment. Call 361-576-9100 for details.

Get Beautiful Skin with an Acne Clear Treatment

- July 14, 2011
It’s hard to look good when you’re suffering from acne. No matter how much makeup ads and facial cleansing products promise to clear it up, nothing delivers on its promise. So you end up piling on the makeup or worse, canceling on plans whenever you have a massive breakout.
That’s not even counting the emotional and mental trauma you experience from acne. Sporting a breakout or constantly battling massive pimples can make your confidence plummet and your self-esteem to be nonexistent. You find yourself questioning your self-worth, your physical beauty, and your own attractiveness to the opposite sex.
If you’re ready to finally get the clear and beautiful skin you deserve, then it’s time to head down to the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX!
So what makes us so sure that we can clear up your skin and give you the glowing face that will restore your confidence?
Well, we’re not only a medical spa with fully licensed and experienced medical professionals who know how to tackle tough dermatological issues – we’re a beauty spa that understands how acne affects your inner sense of self. That’s why we don’t use treatments that take forever to work, or give you more acne before you start seeing results (seriously, what’s up with that?). Instead, all of our facials are specifically formulated to unclog pores, clear acne and reveal the glowing skin that’s hiding underneath those blemishes.
Take a look at our acne facial treatments and see the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa experience for yourself:
Victoria Acne Treatment. Acne-prone skin will rejoice under the care and attention of Dr. Nhi Le’s Victoria Acne Treatment. This special acne-busting facial can prevent infection, unclog pores, and tackle bacterial growth thanks to its revolutionary exfoliating, steaming and extracting treatment. To maintain your new glowing and blemish-free skin, we recommend undergoing this treatment every two weeks.
Gel Peel. If you want to reduce acne and tough blemishes – as well as get the kind of skin that would light up a red carpet – then this gentle and effective gel peel will give you the glowing and radiant look you want. Glycolic and lactic acid combat deep wrinkles, while salicylic and mandelic acids tackle acne and clear up blemishes in a heartbeat. Additionally, the glycolic acid in the gel opens up pores, meaning those anti-acne ingredients can be more readily absorbed by your skin.
Micro Peel. Whether you want to get rid of acne or eliminate acne scars, our micro peel combines powerful microdermabrasion and chemical peel techniques to reveal your best skin yet. Clients typically see results after just one treatment, and we recommend that patients receive a micro peel every three months.
HydraFacial MD Treatment. The “HydraFacial” treatment is one of the newest advances in non-laser skin resurfacing. The HydraFacial is the only hydradermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant stimulation simultaneously. This treatment can help minimize congested or enlarged pores, as well as oil or acne-prone skin.
IPL Therapy. The ipl as another light therapy for cystic acne. This treatment can reduce redness due to inflammation, as well as dark spots due acne scars.
Topical Skin Care. Dr. Le provides a number of different topical acne treatments, includes facial washes, scrubs and lotions. Talk to Dr. Le about which anti-acne skin care regimen she recommends. You can also check out our full line of acne products at our online store.

Why Men Should Care About Their Skin
- 0 Comment(s)
- June 28, 2011
We often hear about the latest skin care lines and products for women, but lately there has been more and more advertising targeted at men. Why is this? For starters, men need to keep their skin hydrated and protected just like women. However, in the past, using lotions, creams and Botox was considered un-manly. Times have definitely changed and not only are more and more men are looking for skin care solutions, but more solutions and treatments are now available. This is why Dr. Nhi Le of the Fountain of Youth Med Spa in Victoria, TX offers a variety of skin care products and treatments for men.
There are varieties of lotions for men available now, but the one type of lotion that most men can agree on is the cancer and aging protection. One of the biggest concerns men have about their skin is the threat of skin cancer and wrinkles. The easiest way to avoid this is to protect your face daily. These daily lotions typically not only provide an SPF of 10 or above, but also moisturize your face to keep it hydrated, without clogging pores; without being greasy, oily or smelly; and free of irritating chemicals. Dr. Nhi Le recommends Solar Total Block Tizio3.
Another skin care concern that many men deal with is acne. Not only do young men and teenage boys suffer from acne, but adults as well. Dr. Le recommends Neostrata for oily or acne-prone skin. Neostrata is a soothing, enriched emollient cream designed to exfoliate and restore the skin. If you are looking for a treatment for your acne, rather than a skin care product, then consider Dr. Le’s micropeel, which can help clear up your skin in a matter of weeks!
Nowadays, men are doing more than simply turning to skin care products. There are various treatments available to help reduce wrinkles, problematic acne or acne scars, as well as sun spots or brown or red pigments. Cosmetic lasers have advanced dramatically in the past decade and Dr. Le offers some of the best laser technology, such as Fraxel and Matrix RF to treat acne scars, IPL Photofacials for sunspots, or a Hydrafacial to simply refresh your face. Even Botox and fillers are becoming more popular among men. In 2001, 106,000 men received Botox treatments, compared to 856,000 total treatments. The number of men using Botox jumped to 300,000 in 2007 and 700,000 in 2010.
The Texas heat can be brutal on your skin and face, especially if you’re a man who does little to protect it. Skin cancer is a serious threat that no man should take lightly, but the good news is that you can easily protect yourself, not only from cancer, but also from acne and aging. If you’re on the gulf coast, around Victoria, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio, TX and you’re looking for the best men’s skin care products or skin care treatments then fill out the form in the top right corner, check out our product website, or call 361-576-9100.
