Calista Skin And Laser Center Offers New ED Treatment

Colleyville, Texas – Calista Skin and Laser Center, is pleased to announce they now offer GAINSWave™! This breakthrough noninvasive medical therapy uses low-intensity shockwave therapy to enhance sexual performance and to treat Erectile Dysfunction symptoms.

As men age, the vessels in their penis weaken, contract and fill with micro-plaque, which can lead to Erectile Dysfunction. As these tiny vessels become clogged, the penis decreases in sensitivity, making it harder for men to achieve and maintain an erection. Thankfully, the GAINSWave™ protocols can enhance a man’s performance by using highfrequency acoustic waves to repair existing blood vessels and improve blood flow.

Thanks to the numerous clinical studies on Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (Li-ESWT), we can see that this therapy improves not only erectile dysfunction symptoms but also sexual performance. “GAINSWave™ is an ideal solution for men looking to improve spontaneous erections without the use of” says Kenneth Baird, Calista Skin and Laser Center. Patients receiving GAINSWave therapy have reported improved erection quality, enhanced sexual performance and decreased refractory times between orgasms, which is why this a great alternative to ED medications.

Erectile Dysfunction

Shock Therapy For ED?!

Shock Therapy For ED?!

Erectile dysfunction (commonly called ED) used to be a condition that men suffered with in silence. Not only did the condition cause a negative impact on their sex lives, but the condition also created a negative impact on their self-esteem, along with their sense of manhood.

Over the last 25 years, medical treatments such as the development of ED pills have helped men to overcome ED during intimate moments. However, pills have shown to have their drawbacks.

ED Pills Aren’t Suitable For Everyone

Although erectile dysfunction pills have worked out well for many men, there are still plenty who either don’t benefit from taking pills, or they’re not able to take pills.

First, there are those who, due to severe or permanent blood vessel damage in the penis, can’t generate enough blood flow to achieve or maintain a health erection. Then there are men who, due to the medications they’re required to take, would run the risk of facing life-threatening drug interactions if they took a temporary ED pill.

So while ED pills have been helpful to the average healthy male, there are many who have found that pills either don’t work, or it would be too dangerous of a risk to take an ED pill.

GAINSWave treatment is a non-invasive therapeutic treatment that many urologists and certain dermatologists use in the treatment of ED. Specifically, it’s an extremely mild form of shock therapy.

The thought of seeking shock therapy treatment in one’s urogenital region might be off-putting for male patients, to say the least. Shock therapy has developed a very negative connotation through the years, and it’s usually associated with patients who are in need of severe levels of psychiatric treatment. However, while GAINSWave does involve the use of electric activity, it involves nothing on the scale of what mental health shock therapy previously entailed.

Again, this is a therapy that was designed specifically for the urogenital region of males. It doesn’t involve the use of any surgical tools, and it’s not painful at all, let alone, agonizing. It simply uses low-intensity sound waves to travel transdermally through the skin that’s located on the shaft of the penis.

The treatment is designed to unblock blood vessels. Blocked vessels in the penis is a leading cause of ED, and by unclogging the vessels, the treatment encourages the normal and healthy flow of blood into the penile shaft.

Not only does the treatment clear a path for blood to properly flow through the penile shaft vessels, but also, the treatment is said to show promising results in healing damaged vessels. This is great news for men who are diabetic, suffer from kidney disease, have autoimmune conditions such as lupus, or have heart disease.

In fact, GAINSWave is a wonderful alternative for men who can’t tolerate erectile dysfunction medications, due to heart conditions or medication interaction concerns. Since the sound wave treatment isn’t a medication, and since it’s not invasive, then a wider variety of men who experience erectile dysfunction are optimal candidates for the treatment.

If you’re a man who wants to take steps towards eliminating ED, then contact Calista Laser today for a consultation.

Skincare Advice For Women Going Through Menopause

Skincare Advice For Women Going Through Menopause

Women going through menopause find it a really challenging time for their skin. Hormonal shifts trigger a number of unwanted changes in the skin and it seems like an uphill battle against breakouts and wrinkles. The estrogen levels drop which affects almost every organ of the body, including the skin. The male sex hormones or androgens remain constant resulting in dry and sagging skin. During this time women also find that their skin lacks luster and radiance. Meanwhile testosterone levels skyrocket causing acne, not just on the face but also the back and chest.

Add stress into the mix and women find themselves fighting adult acne, hair loss, weight gain and fine lines. But your skin can look smoother and younger, while managing menopause, with a few simple tricks and treatments.

Smooth Wrinkles

The body produces much less estrogen which has a negative impact on the levels of collagen and elastin, making skin more prone to wrinkling during and after menopause. Research has shown that your body loses almost a third of your collagen within the first five years of menopause. Aging causes fat loss in the face that shows up as wrinkles, so fillers like Juvéderm can help with skin sag problems. Moreover lower levels of estrogen leads to dry skin and dry skin shows more wrinkles. So dermatologists recommend using a retin at night with a moisturizer to help the skin retain moisture and renew it. Topical retinoids or prescription-strength lotions or creams derived from vitamin A can stimulate collagen production in the skin to improve skin texture. Even skin resurfacing with lasers can reduce fine lines and improve skin tone.

Steer Clear of Sun Damage

Sun exposure is the biggest contributor to unwanted skin damage and aging skin is especially vulnerable to the harsh rays of the sun. So it is important for women going through menopause to apply sunscreen always and preferably a waterproof sunscreen while going swimming. According to the North American Menopause Society, the use of a broad-spectrum SPF should be part of skincare routine.

Put Down The Smokes

Snuff out your cigarettes as smoking can age the skin prematurely. The nicotine and toxic chemicals in tobacco tightens blood vessels restricting blood flow and reducing oxygen and nutrients to the skin. Smoking also damage collagen and elastin in the skin, which then shows up as sagging and wrinkled skin.

Rehydrate Dry Skin

The skin becomes dry and thin due to decreased hormone production during menopause. It is vital to avoid dehydrating soaps and long soaks in hot water. Women should also exfoliate their skin to remove dry and dead skin cells to promote fresh production of collagen. Be generous with moisturizer after your bath. You can use a ceramide cream to boost lipids in your skin to fight dryness. The use of a proper moisturizer will seal the skin to prevent water loss and also restore hydration.

Anti-oxidants

Also make sure to treat your skin with some sort of antioxidant, as they are anti-aging, and they act to protect your skin. Some of the top antioxidants that can help your skin are Vitamin A (retinoids), vitamin C, green tea and resveratrol.

Prevent Breakouts

Acne is not just a typical puberty problem, most women get a rude awakening when they enter menopause because of adult acne problems. The increase in testesterone can trigger the skin’s sebaceous glands to produce excess oil which causes breakouts in the face, chin and neck. Banish your adult acne with regular use of benzoyl peroxide preparations and topical antibiotic medications like clindamycin. Regular use of retinoids can help unclog pores to reduce fine lines and give your complexion a boost.

What else can a woman do to restore balance to your body and skin? Besides skincare, it is important for all women above 35 to exercise daily for at least thirty minutes to improve blood circulation. Your skin will also thank you for making sure that you have a balanced diet. You should have fresh fruits and vegetables high in vitamins and minerals. About thirty percent of your meal should contain lean protein, and 30 percent should be healthy fats. Drink at least eight glasses of water per day to flush toxins from your system and to help your skin reclaim its glow.

You can tackle a number of skin problems due to menopause with the help of skin treatments from our team of experts in Calista Skin and Laser Center. We can help you choose cosmetic treatments that will work best for your skin issues.

Skin Treatment – Prep You Skin For Winter

Now may be the ideal time to focus on your skin and take the right steps to get it in shape for the holidays. Summer months are usually harsh for your skin, with all the time spent outdoors in the sun and the seasonal change from summer to fall can take its toll on your skin. By November the temperature drops and the dry fall air worsens the summer damage on your skin, so correcting any damage to your skin by changing your skin care regime to prepare your skin for winter is essential. Look and feel your best by following these simple steps, as you transition to winter, for refreshed and healthy glowing skin.

Skin Analysis

With the changing seasons, your skin too may show some changes. Many people with oily skin type find their skin turning normal, while those who had normal skin earlier may find the chill in the air draining the moisture from their skin to turn it dry. Analyze your skin through fall to see if you need to change your skin care products according to your skin type. You can try consulting an aesthetician, if you are unsure of your skin type.

Change Your Body Cleanser

In the summer, shower gels are very popular treat, but with the appearance of cold weather, it may dry out your skin. Change from a shower gel to a soap-free, moisture-rich cream bath wash for your body. Those with dry skin should pick sulfate-free body washes for cleansing.

Moisturize

The cool crispness around this time is from drier air, which drains the moisture from the surface of your skin. With the temperature dipping, you pile on more layers of clothes and the fabric absorbs natural moisture from your skin. Those with dry or combination skin can change from using a summer lotion to an emollient cream, to keep your facial skin from getting rough and parched. Even people with oily complexions may need a richer moisturizer. For extra hydration and to repair skin damage from the summer sun, use serums through fall. Use body lotion or body butter for dry skin and hydrating oil-free lotion for oily skin to moisturize daily, right after you shower to seal in the moisture.

Exfoliate

Autumn usually gets very busy, with back to school routines, cleaning and preparing your home for winter months on top of work. The stress can show up on your skin. Exfoliation is a must for radiant skin in the fall. In addition to an exfoliating facial, you must go for a full body scrub to remove all signs of wear and tear from summer. Choose exfoliating products that can retain moisture and is gentle on dry skin, preferably oil-based sugar scrubs to gently remove dead skin cells from the surface. You may even consider a peel for a deeper exfoliation to help revive sunburnt skin.

Fix it with Sun block

Whether it is a clear day or a breezy, cool one, your skin always needs protection from the harmful ultraviolet rays. You may not be tanning by the pool in fall but sunscreen still remains a daily essential. Choose a sunscreen with titanium oxide for everyday wear through the day in fall or you can use a moisturizer with SPF15 at least.

Remember Your Feet

You may have said goodbye to sandal weather and your feet may be tucked inside your boots but you still have to take care of them and exfoliate them regularly, so they look beautiful for next summer. Use a foot scrub through fall and winter to keep your feet and heels looking good. You can also rub a light oil to moisturize your feet before bedtime.

Invest in a Hand Cream

Your hands can show signs of cold weather as they are in and out of the water regularly. You may notice dry hands and cuticles, so keep a hand cream ready to moisturize them frequently. You may even try a cuticle oil to quickly take care of any cracked skin in the winter.

IPL fotofacial, micro-needling or microdermabrasion treatment may be just the perfect way to lighten sun spots, redness, broken capillaries and rejuvenate your overall skin texture to its natural glow for fall. We at Calista Skin & Laser Center are happy to help you get prepared for the coming winter holidays.
