What is peptide therapy for weight loss?

Peptide therapy used for weight loss utilizes specific amino acid sequences to influence bodily processes, promoting weight loss by reducing appetite and regulating insulin.

What are the common side effects?

Patients may experience gastrointestinal issues like nausea and diarrhea, generally temporary as the body adjusts.

How long before I see results?

Results can vary; generally, patients notice improvements within a few weeks of starting the treatment plan. But it might take longer for full effects. Here we measure your weight loss at each appointment to ensure you are on track to meet your goals by tracking your BMI, muscle mass, and body fat percentage to get a holistic view!

Am I a good candidate?

You will have to consult with our medical providers to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment plan.

Are the weight loss effects of these peptides permanent?

Sustaining weight loss typically requires ongoing lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. Many of our patients move towards the Emsculpt Neo treatments to sustain their muscle mass and maintain their results.

How do microneedling work?

Microneedling is a procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin causing minor injuries. These pricks eventually heal and generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, and toned skin. Phase 1: Swelling. The medical provider will pierce your skin using an FDA cleared device. This will trigger your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue. Phase 2: Reproduction. During this phase, the wound will rebuild with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels will develop Phase 3 : Remodeling. The micro-injuries will be replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

What areas can I treat?

Microneedling can be used anywhere on the body but the number of treatments recommended may differ based on the area you desire treatment.

What benefits will I see?

Improved skin texture, reduction in wrinkles, and minimized fine lines. You will also notice a reduction in the appearance of static lines, sun damage, skin scarring, acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, age spots, rosacea, and melasma. Rejuvenate the skin and make it glow!

When should I expect to see results?

Results will vary by patient and by skin type. We recommend waiting 4-6 weeks in between sessions with at least 3 sessions to see optimal results. The treatment is relatively painless and our team will make sure you are comfortable prior to the procedure with the application of a topical numbing agent.

What is RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling takes the results of Skin Pen microneedling to the next level. This treatment works to eliminate years of damaged skin caused by the sun and the normal aging process. This treatment also stimulates the production of your body’s own collagen. It is a non-surgical solution to skin resurfacing that corrects signs of skin damage and improves the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, rosacea, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. Create the results of a CO2 laser without downtime with this heat-based resurfacing.

What does a RF Microneedling treatment do?

RF Microneedling adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via small needles. In addition to the benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the microneedles, RF microneedling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction. The RF energy heats the underlying layers, causing constriction and tightening of the skin, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster, more dramatic results. RF microneedling can offer similar results to ablative laser procedures, but with significantly less discomfort and downtime. A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

How long is the treatment and what how much downtime should I expect?

Treatment usually takes 45 minutes – 1 hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Skin is typically red for the first day or two after treatment, but the redness is typically mild and much less than is often seen with laser procedures. It is little or no discomfort after the procedure and patients typically are able to return to regular activities within a day while being cautious about sun exposure and excessive sweating after the procedure.

PRP is produced from your own blood! It is rich in platelets that circulate through your blood and are used for blood clotting. Platelets and liquid plasma are the portions of the blood that contains many factors that are essential for cell recruitment and the production of growth factors.

This ‘liquid gold’ can create additional growth factors to maximize your microneedling results and also help with your overall recovery!

Kybella is a non-invasive injection designed to target fat cells under the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys those fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in the appearance of fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal. Kybella is the only prescription medication approved by the FDA to be injected into your submental area (Chin) to kill fat cells, thus reducing the appearance of a double chin.

What are possible side effects?

Common side effects associated with Kybella injections may include: Swelling Redness at the injection site Numbness Itching and slight bruising Mild pain which is managed with our topical numbing cream Hard skin around the injection site.

Who is a good candidate for Kybella?

This is a great treatment for patients looking for a non-invasive solution to eliminate unnecessary fat pockets around the neck or bra area. Adults aged 21 years and older who are medically healthy and not allergic to any of the ingredients associated with the Kybella injection.

What is the average treatment cost for a Kybella treatment?

Each treatment varies based on the consultation with our provider. Pricing is dependent on how many treatments are required to achieve your desired result. At Chin Up! Aesthetics we have partnered with Care Credit and Patient Fi to help our patients with any financial burdens coming in the way of their aesthetic goals!

If you notice your hair improving, such as the quality and density because it’s thicker and healthier – it will not disappear if you stop treatment. However, the issue of hair loss begins to happen if your scalp health deteriorates after 18 months of no care. If you continue to keep the scalp healthy, you will continue to sustain your results.

Is Keravive good for stress induced hair loss?

Yes! Fundamentally, the decrease in circulation that happens in your scalp causes your hair to fall out and a factor for that could be due to stress. Keravive stimulates this circulation and increases blood flow in the scalp which improves overall scalp health by treating the cause.

For optimal scalp health, we recommend a series of 3 in−office treatments, once a month for 3 consecutive months, with daily use of the take−home spray between in−office treatments.

What are MIC B12 injections?

Methionine, Inositol, and Choline (MIC) are the most effective group of lipotropic (fat burning) agents, which play an important role in the body’s control of fat. Inositol stimulates fat removal by the liver. Choline prevents cholesterol buildup. Methionine helps Inositol and choline to work more efficiently. MIC injections also contain vitamin B12, which further stimulates your metabolism and gives you a boost of energy, especially if you do not get enough B12 through your diet every day. When these substances are all combined in an injection form, you have a higher chance of getting rid of excess fatty deposits throughout your body.

How often do I need MIC B12 injections?

Typically these injections are performed once a week for optimal weight loss results. Most men and women love the boost of energy they experience. You will want to at least get into the routine of getting these injections once a month, even after your weight loss goals are achieved to improve energy levels and maintain your weight.

What are the benefits of MIC B12 injections?

These injections make cholesterol more soluble, preventing the accumulation of fats in the liver. They metabolize fats and cholesterol and aid in the transporting of fat in the bloodstream and removal, thus enhancing the reduction of fat in the body. They also increase our average daily energy level and physical sense of well being.

Vitamin B12 is important for the normal functioning of the nervous system and the formation of blood. It is involved in the metabolism of most cells of the body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production.

Our primary fillers that are used are Juvederm and Restylane fillers which is made of hyaluronic acid. Acid may sound scary, but these are natural substances, i.e. Hyaluronic acid, which your body already has/creates, but starts to lose with normal aging. Fillers vary in thickness and viscosity and it is our job to determine which product would be best for the area you are looking to treat to create the most natural result. The use of fillers can be for addressing volume loss, wrinkles in the face or loss of plumpness in the face. As we age, our skin is more susceptible to wrinkles. This starts in our 20’s and continues to progress well into our 50’s and 60’s. We start to have a shifting in our facial fat pads, along with depletion and bony resorption. Fillers help to restore this volume and restore the structure that we lose in our face

How much does filler cost?

Every patients needs are different and there are a wide variety of treatments involving filler as well as various areas where they can be placed. With that in mind, cost can be variable based on your personal goals and the amount of correction needed.

How long do results last for?

This is variable based on the area treated, your age, your starting point and the amount of sessions completed. Some patients may also metabolize faster than others. This can vary from 6-18 months.
