Fillers

Fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours in cosmetic procedures. They come in various forms, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and synthetic materials, and are commonly used to address signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of facial volume. Injected beneath the skin's surface, fillers add volume and plumpness to the treated areas, including lips, cheeks, and nasolabial folds. Effects are temporary, typically lasting from a few months to a year, requiring maintenance injections for prolonged results. Qualified medical professionals perform filler injections to ensure both safety and desired outcomes.

L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine will assist in converting body fat to fuel and elevate certain enzymes needed to metabolize sugars, starches, and other carbohydrates. It is used to facilitate fatty acid oxidation, aiding in the reduction of body fat, both systemically and site specifically.

 

• Benefits: Amino acid-like compound involved in energy metabolism, particularly in transporting fatty acids into cells for energy production. May support exercise performance and cardiovascular health.

• Side effects: Generally safe when taken orally, but high doses can lead to digestive upset. People with certain genetic conditions might experience adverse effects.

NAD+

A coenzyme that plays a pivotal role in cellular energy production, promoting various biological processes crucial for overall cell function.

 

• Benefit:  Plays a crucial role in cellular energy production and various biological processes. NAD+ supplementation is believed to support cellular health and longevity.

• Side effects: Limited evidence on potential side effects, but high doses might have unknown long-term effects.

​

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist that increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion, decreases inappropriate glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying; also acts in the areas of the brain involved in regulation of appetite and caloric intake. Weight loss is achieved due to slowing gastric emptying time. By slowing digestion, the stomach sends signals of “fullness” to the brain which regulates appetite. Decreased caloric intake further leads to improved glycemic control increasing patient perceived energy and quality of life.

 

• Benefits: A medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It helps lower blood sugar levels and promotes weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing digestion.

• Side effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and potential risk of thyroid tumors (higher doses in animal studies) and stomach paralysis.

​

Xeomin

Xeomin is an FDA-approved injectable that temporarily reduces the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows in adults. It contains a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin type A, which relaxes facial muscles upon injection, resulting in smoother skin. The effects last around three to six months. Administered by professionals, Xeomin is also used for medical conditions like muscle spasms. Consultation is crucial to determine its suitability and discuss potential benefits and risks.

 

• Benefits: A type of botulinum toxin used for cosmetic purposes to temporarily reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles by inhibiting muscle contractions.

• Side Effects: Common side effects include bruising, pain at the injection site, headache, and temporary facial weakness. Rarely, distant muscle weakness or allergic reactions can occur.
