NUYU for a New You

Teeth whitening is a growing part of the beauty and health industry. When someone wants to invest in their appearance, teeth whitening has become the number one choice and it continues to grow by 200% a year! There are stories about teeth whitening being a painful experience and that is a big problem to the growing industry. The procedure isn’t just for Hollywood stars at a medispa in Los Angeles.

The solution is NUYU, a teeth whitening procedure that solves the pain problem – and many more. The process involves the usual products. Carbamide peroxide and a mouth tray. However, unlike other systems, NUYU uses a patented mouth tray and a special composite of whitening formula.

The real magic happens when a blue spectrum of light is focused across the teeth while the whitening formula has been applied. All harmful UV rays and radiation are filtered out leaving a harmless blue light that activates the whitening agent leaving the teeth brighter and whiter over less time.

Because the process doesn’t demand a high grade bleach, the pain tends to be much less than other methods. Most people don’t even experience pain. Also, because light catalyzes the whitening formula, the procedure only takes a half hour.

Since NUYU teeth whitening takes less time, uses a better formula, and doesn’t involve pain medication, the price on the procedure is greatly reduced. It is possible to go in and out of the doctor’s office with minimal zingers and maximum whitening.

It is easy to see why the industry is growing so rapidly. NUYU removes the obstacles that kept most people away from teeth whitening. It seems like our teeth are losing shine every day from medications, coffee, or even fruits. It is the perfect time to take back our pearly whites.

Why Hormone Therapy is Effective

Hormones are invisible; they operate in the background of our daily lives. It’s like breathing. You don’t have to think about it, it just works. If our breathing suddenly started struggling, we would immediately notice. The same can go for hormones.

It isn’t as easy to spot hormone imbalances, though. It can be small changes in lifestyle, such as emotional roller coasters or a change in appetite. This is a consistent problem among many people, and it is not always properly treated or even diagnosed.

The first step is to realize that strange bodily changes might be from hormones. It is easy for hormones to lose homeostasis and lose the balance that keeps us happy and healthy.

Acknowledging this will help a faster response to the issue. The next step is to get a professional diagnosis. Dr. Berkley specializes in this kind of diagnosis and treatment. The treatment to a positive diagnosis is hormone therapy.

Hormone therapy involves analysis of the hormones and discover which glands are exhausted. Then, hormones are injected to provide the specific glands relief from hormone production. These glands can be exhausted from stress, overuse, or diet. Sometimes, there is no fault from any of these. Life can just be difficult.

Hormone therapy is a way to rejuvenate the body with naturally produced chemicals. It is a way to supercharge the way the body functions. Emotions, health, and energy are all tied to hormones, and rebalancing those out is an internal retreat for the body.

The best thing about the process is it uses the natural systems of the body to reinvigorate. Many medspas in Los Angeles choose to use generic hormones, but at some locations it is possible to get a Bioidentical hormone treatment where the chemical composition of the hormones are copied perfectly to emulate the body’s production.

Keeping an eye on internal health provides a healthier and happier life. Making sure the body is topped off with good food and happy glands. This can prevent diet issues, osteoporosis, and sexual struggles. If your life feels out of balance, consider that hormones may be the invisible force affecting your life.

What Are Spider Viens, and How Can They Be Treated?

No matter how smooth and flawless skin and muscle tone may be, spider veins can detract from them. These thin, blue or purple veins get their name from their fine, web like appearance — but what are they, and how can they be removed?

Spider veins are small blood vessels near the skin that have become dilated. This can occur because of heredity, injuries, hormonal fluctuations, or sun damage, among other reasons. Spider veins commonly happen on the face, especially around the nose area, and on the upper thighs. Cosmetics alone generally don’t do a very good job of hiding spider veins, and many people opt for a more permanent solution.

In the past, treating spider veins typically involved minor venous surgery or having needles or catheters inserted into veins. While these procedures are generally minor and low-risk, there are newer, more effective, non-invasive techniques available at our medspa here in Los Angeles. We utilize Cutera’s CoolGlide laser therapy — a method for getting rid of spider veins that doesn’t involve needles or surgery.

With Cutera’s CoolGlide system, just the right laser wavelength is used to allow us to treat spider veins. Patients can experience immediate results in small spider veins, and improvement in larger veins in as little as two weeks. Side effects like unsightly bruising or uncomfortable blistering are minimized, ensuring that patients have the most comfortable, effective spider vein treatment experience possible.

If you have unwanted spider veins and are looking for a permanent solution to get rid of them, we would love to help you. Armed with Cutera’s CoolGlide laser therapy system, we can help you achieve the flawless skin you’ve always wanted as quickly, easily, and painlessly as possible.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy in Studio City

Hormone imbalances are no laughing matter. Both women and men can suffer from hormonal imbalances at all stages of life. Women with hormone imbalances can experience hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings, and the other symptoms associated with menopause, early-onset menopause, and premenstrual symptoms. Hormonal imbalances in men tend to lead to loss of libido and muscle and weight gain, as well as affecting the memory. Dr. Berkley can treat these hormonal imbalances in both men and women through the use of a tailor-made treatment of bioidentical hormones.

As opposed to prescription hormone replacement therapy drugs, which seek to create new levels of inner body hormones, bioidentical hormones are exact replicas of the same kinds of hormones produced naturally by the body. They include commonly known hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, as well as progesterone, and cortisol.

At our medi spa in Los Angeles, we customize bioidentical hormone treatments to precisely meet each patient’s body’s imbalances.

The treatment includes several steps. Patients will undergo an initial evaluation that includes a physical exam, a discussion of their known symptoms, their medical history, and lab tests for hormone levels. All the information is necessary to create a precise plan for each patient. Patients will review their laboratory testing results with the doctor at a follow-up appointment before beginning a personally customized prescription therapy and treatment plan.

This treatment allows for patients suffering from hormonal imbalances to regain their normal lives, activities, and hobbies in a natural way through customized bioidentical hormone gels, creams or capsules.
