• What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is made with botulinum toxin type A, an injectable neuromodulator that helps correct dynamic wrinkles (those that form as a result of smiling, laughing, squinting, or frowning). BOTOX in Spokane works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the tiny facial muscles responsible for wrinkle-forming contractions. Once the muscles are paralyzed, lines, creases, and folds smooth out, revealing a more youthful, relaxed facial expression. 

BOTOX has been used worldwide to help combat the signs of aging and, in some cases, can even help prevent wrinkles before they form. BOTOX can also encourage the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that help keep your skin looking healthy and radiant.

• Who Makes a Good Candidate for BOTOX?

For those patients who are not yet ready to undergo an invasive facelift, BOTOX can represent a more effective and transformative solution than topical anti-aging serums, creams, and lotions. BOTOX is perfect for patients seeing a surplus of dynamic wrinkles forming around the eyes, nose, and mouth. In order to qualify for BOTOX injections, patients should be mentally and physically healthy, and they should have realistic expectations for what their treatment can accomplish. 

• Who is Not a Good Candidate?

BOTOX is not a good option if you are allergic to any ingredients in the injectable or if you currently have an infection at the treatment site. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid BOTOX, as should those with nerve disorders such as ALS or myasthenia gravis. 

• What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide helps you regulate your appetite and control your food intake by affecting the release of insulin and glucagon, two natural hormones that regulate blood sugar levels, and is most effective when used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise. This once-weekly injection can help assist patients with long-term weight management.

• Who is a Candidate for Semaglutide?

Semaglutide offers adults experiencing obesity or who are overweight a beneficial FDA-approved treatment option for chronic weight management. This once-per-week injection is specifically designed for adults who experience weight-related conditions, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. The injection often benefits patients who struggle to control their food intake. The treatment may be an option for adults who are living with obesity (BMI ≥30) or excess weight (BMI ≥27).

• How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide imitates a human hormone produced naturally by the gut, pancreas, and nervous system. The hormone targets areas of the brain that manage appetite, create a feeling of fullness, and enhance insulin production. Semaglutide comes as a liquid solution in a single-dose injection.

Semaglutide mimics the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is responsible for targeting the areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. The gut naturally produces GLP-1 in response to food. The hormone causes reduced appetite and the release of insulin. Your body makes and releases insulin in a feedback loop in response to your blood sugar level. Insulin enables your cells to convert glucose to energy. Insulin maintains the amount of glucose within your bloodstream and releases glucose to ensure an appropriate balance for your body’s metabolic needs.

• What are Semaglutide’s Side Effects?

During medical trials, some patients experienced nausea, vomiting, constipation, indigestion, diarrhea, belching, gas buildup, low blood sugar among patients with type 2 diabetes, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, heartburn, and abdominal pain. Some patients also experienced gastroenteritis and gastroesophageal reflux disease. A few patients experience gallstones, pancreatitis, and kidney damage related to dehydration.

Despite the side effects, Semaglutide is FDA-approved as it is proven effective and safe for individuals who experience blood sugar concerns, excessive weight gain, and chronic weight-related illnesses. Available only with a prescription, this injection offers long-lasting benefits for many individuals.

• Who is Not a Candidate for Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is not appropriate for:

Patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma.

Patients with a rare condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

Patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to Semaglutide or its ingredients.

Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Patients who experience inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), gallbladder problems (including gallstones), symptoms of pancreatitis or gallstones, low blood sugar, acute kidney injury, diabetic retinopathy (damage to the eye’s retina), increased heart rate, and suicidal behavior or thinking.

PRF uses the latest technologies to maximize natural growth factors without the need for the additives or anti-coagulants found in PRP.

More Platelets.

PRF has 2X the platelets than PRP and up to 10 times more platelets than the body. The higher the concentration of platelets the more effective for skin rejuvenation.

Slower Release.

A fibrin scaffolding forms with the plasma allowing for more Growth Factors kept alive for a longer and released slowly over a much longer period of time.
