How to Treat Scars

Scars may look great on movie villains – but you’re not exactly feeling so keen to show yours off.  Whether you suffer from acne scars or burn scars, your permanent marks make you feel self-conscious – like the only thing people can look at when they see you are your scars.

If you’re ready to break free from your scars – and your self-esteem issues – then it’s time to visit Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.

Scar Treatment by Dr. Nhi Le

Founded by Dr. Nhi Le, Fountain of Youth Medical Spa is the premier destination for superior scar treatments. Thanks to innovative treatments, Dr. Le can treat a variety of scars, including:

  • Atrophic scars
  • Hypertrophic scars
  • Keloid scars
  • Acne scars
  • And more

While scars can be caused for a number of reasons – including traumatic injuries, burns, and surgical scars – Dr. Le uses an advanced treatment that causes micro-wounds to the scarred area.

Scars occur when there’s an excess of collagen type 1, which is released by the body to heal the wound. Wound healing – where Dr. Le uses a tiny needle to cause multiple punctures in the scar area – reignites the body’s healing process.  However, instead of collagen type 1, the body releases collagen type 3, which suppresses and diminishes the look of the scar.

In addition to micro-wound healing, Dr. Le can also use laser treatments to fade the appearance of scars.  The skin absorbs the laser energy, which heats the subdermal tissue and encourages the production of collagen and elastin.  This helps increase cellular turnover, which brings new, unscarred skin to the surface.

If you’re considering scar treatment, it’s important to note that you should treat your scars as soon as possible.  Newer or fresher scars have a better chance of being healed, which means your skin can go back to normal again.

New Endymed Intensif Treatment at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa

intensif-boxLet’s face it: When it comes to getting the most perfect complexion, you feel like you have to invest in several different expensive skin care treatments, all designed to treat different issues.  You have a cream for dark spots; a serum for wrinkles; and even a spot treatment for any errant pimples that might pop up when you least suspect it.

Ever wish there was a simpler way to get that smooth, wrinkle-free, and glowing complexion you’ve always wanted?  Now there is – and it’s just been made available at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.

EndyMed’s new RF Microneedle treatment is perhaps one of the most intensive – and effective – treatments available for treating a myriad of complexion problems, including the following:

  • Wrinkles
  • Fine lines
  • Acne scars
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Loss of elasticity
  • Dull skin

In short, the RF Microneedle can deliver a significant blow to many of your cosmetic issues, all with just a few simple treatments.Intensif before and after

The RF Microneedle is a handheld device that creates microscopic injuries within the facial skin.  If you’re worried that this sounds painful, don’t be; many clients have reported that it only feels like a slight snapping sensation, like an elastic band is gently hitting the skin.  Once the tiny injuries are created, the body stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are used to help heal the injury.  These increased levels of collagen and elastin help smooth the skin and improve elasticity, which can help create a more youthful look.

What’s more, the higher levels of collagen and elastin elevate cellular turnover, which helps fade the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation much faster.  Best of all? The treatment is colorblind, making it an effective solution for all skin tones.

The RF Microneedle also uses a gentle heating sensation to further stimulate production of collagen, which delivers a significant boost to immediate cellular turnover.

The treatment is simple and can be done in-office.  Clients should expect slight discomfort, which dissipates as soon as the treatment has concluded.  Some side effects may include redness, swelling, and slight bruising.

For more information about the EndyMed RF Microneedle treatment, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nhi Le at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today!

Silk Peel Treatment at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa

silkpeel-boxEver wanted to have the kind of smooth, blemish-free complexion that you see on the cover of magazines?  Are you stuck with scars and dark spots that mar your facial skin?

If these questions ring true, then it’s likely you’ve considered undergoing a microdermabrasion – a unique treatment that uses small crystals to exfoliate the skin.  This procedure gives a deeper exfoliation than many over-the-counter products; unfortunately, it can also be very irritating for clients who may have more sensitive skin.  Microdermabrasions can feel rough, as well as cause redness.


If you like the thought of a deep exfoliation – without the dryness or rough texture – then it’s time to introduce yourself to SilkPeel MD at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.

Owned and operated by Dr. Nhi Le, the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa specializes in delivering innovative treatments designed to create a more youthful and smooth complexion.  SilkPeel MD does all of that – in addition to fading scars and hyperpigmentation – by combining the exfoliating powers of microdermabrasion with topical serums.  These serums penetrate the newly revealed skin, which helps deliver stellar results over a faster period of time.

The SilkPeel MD uses a diamond treatment hand piece, which allows Dr. Nhi Le to gently remove the top layer of facial skin.  At the same time, the SilkPeel Pro-Infusion solutions are delivered into the skin; this is a patented process that’s not available anywhere else.  The end result is smooth and younger-looking skin that’s free from scars and brown spots from sun damage.

Interested in undergoing this treatment? The SilkPeel MD procedure is designed to tackle the following skin care woes:

  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Brown spots
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Scars
  • Skin trauma
  • Acne
  • Blackheads

The SilkPeel MD treatment can be administered in-office.  Clients should wear sunscreen after the treatment, as microdermabrasion can make skin extremely sensitive to UV rays.

No matter what your complexion woes, you’ll find the answer you’re looking for at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.  Schedule your SilkPeel MD consultation with Dr. Nhi Le by visiting the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa. Call (361) 576-9100 today!

Vampire Scar Repair

If you suffer from facial scars – for example, those caused by accidents, surgical procedures, and even acne – you may think that you have to deal with the proverbial cards that have been handed to you.  However, there is an innovative new treatment out there that isn’t just effective at minimizing the appearance of scars; it can help eliminate them altogether.

And you have Count Dracula to thank for that.

A couple of years ago, the Vampire Facelift became one of the hottest facial treatments to request at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.  The Vampire Facelift utilized the healing and restorative powers of an individual’s own platelet-rich plasma, which can be found in the blood.  Platelets are responsible for helping the body heal by clotting the blood and turning a wound into a barely visible scab.  Without platelets, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy youthful-looking skin or eliminate free radicals by oxygenating our bodies.

That’s the idea behind the Vampire Facelift – and now that has been transformed into a restorative new scar treatment, known as the Vampire Scar Repair.   The idea behind this procedure is to use the healing powers of the blood’s platelets, which are made to undergo a special treatment that helps the platelets release their restorative healing powers.

At the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, Dr. Nhi Le and her talented team members can help patients reduce the look of their scars by utilizing the Vampire Scar Repair treatment.  During this procedure, Dr. Nhi Le will remove blood from the client using a syringe; after this step, Dr. Nhi Le will treat the blood by placing it in a special machine.  This machine activates the platelets within the blood’s plasma, thus ensuring that your blood’s healing power is completely optimized.  Once this stage has been completed, then blood is injected back into the body via the treatment area.  This ensures that the newly optimized platelets can go right to work on the scar, thus minimizing and even eliminating its appearance.

To learn more about the restorative powers of the Vampire Scar Treatment – or to schedule your own appointment – contact Dr. Nhi Le and the team at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, TX today. We serve the Texas gulf coast, including Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, Port Lavaca, El Campo & Sugar Land.

A Revolutionary New Approach to Wrinkle and Scar Treatments

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.

If you think that treating these skin woes involves a number of skin treatments and techniques, you’re in luck: a new treatment at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas is now available to patients who want to minimize the look of the following skin troubles:

  • Acne Scars
  • Fine Lines
  • Wrinkles
  • Stretch Marks

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.

How to Treat Those Stubborn Scars

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:

  • corpus christi scar removalScar 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.
  • 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.

If you’re ready to kiss your scars good-bye, visit the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today. Our practice is just a short drive from Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, El Campo, Sugarland and Houston. To learn more simply fill out the form in the top right corner or call 361-576-9100.
