Peptides are chains of amino acids which send signals to the body to kickstart or tune biological processes.
Peptides are produced by the body naturally and are vital to one’s health. When the body’s levels of peptides decline, the cells are unable to efficiently perform their functions, which increases the risk of potentially serious health conditions, such as heart disease, kidney disease, and even hormonal imbalances. By supplementing these natural processes, peptide therapy gives a targeted nudge towards regeneration, balance, hormone profile and even healthy skin.

While many radiofrequency and laser devices are popular, here we have broken down the specifics of why Morpheus8 is much more intensive, and creates a more significant “wound-healing response” for comprehensive, longer-term skin revitalization. Morpheus8 has frequently been cited as the “gold standard” of radiofrequency (RF) microneedling primarily because it offers the deepest penetration of any FDA-cleared fractional device in current circulation (with the term “microneedling” even being considered an inadequate description). While many competing modalities place the focus on superficial skin texture, Morpheus8 is designed for additional correction such as structural skin remodeling.

It’s a New Year and an opportunity to become a “new you,” right? Many, if not most, individuals enter the start of a new year with a string of accomplishments they wish to achieve. They hit the ground running on these New Years Resolutions, but more often than not, are met with disappointment and failure soon after such a strong start. They realize their reality is not quite the reset they had envisioned. But that doesn’t have to be you, so since the life you want tomorrow starts with the decisions you make today, let’s explore some reasons and methods to set you up for success.

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) may not sound familiar to you, but it is a science-backed therapy with a long history in medicine and sports training. EMS devices—which send electrical impulses to contract your muscles—are very accessible. They are used by physical therapists and are even available for home use.

Glucagon-like peptides are a class of medications used originally to treat diabetes but have since expanded into the treatment of obesity.
These medications are agonists which mimic the naturally occurring GLP-1 that our gut releases upon eating.

Though the skin is the largest of all the organs, it is often the most overlooked, especially in our earlier years. With the exception of acquiring some type of chronic or recurrent skin condition, it is common to neglect a deeper care for our skin until perhaps time moves forward and we see signs of aging.
