For millions of people struggling with depression, anxiety and other mental health challenges, traditional treatment options can sometimes be limited and may not address the full picture.

What Is EXOMIND & How Does It Work?

EXOMIND is an advanced brainwave stimulation treatment that uses magnetic pulses to balance the brain’s electrical activity.

Urinary incontinence is a common but frustrating condition that affects over 25 million Americans, particularly women over the age of 50 and following pregnancy, childbirth or menopause. While traditional treatments like pelvic floor exercises and medications may help to some degree, they are not always effective for everyone.

What Causes Urinary Incontinence?

Chronic urinary incontinence occurs when the muscles and tissues that support the bladder and control urination become weak. This causes them to not function properly, allowing leakage to occur. Several factors can contribute to this condition, including:

Have you ever noticed dark spots show up on your skin after an acne breakout or other type of skin damage or injury? This is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), a type of skin discoloration that shows up after the skin has been inflamed or injured. PIH is often mistaken for true acne scars, since it is very common after pimples have healed. 

While post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can be somewhat difficult to treat, there are gentle, effective options like VI Peel that can help.

What Causes Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation?

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation occurs when your skin produces too much melanin, the pigment that gives the skin its color, in response to inflammation or injury. This overproduction of melanin can cause brown,

Unlike fad diets or extreme workout routines, medically-supervised weight loss offers a balanced approach to getting and staying fitter and healthier. At SpaVie, we are here to help you look your best after you’ve achieved your weight loss goals. To make the most of your medically-supervised weight loss, here are three key tips to keep in mind. 

1. Maintain Realistic Expectations

While it’s natural to want quick results, medically-supervised weight loss is about achieving steady and sustainable progress. Even when using popular weight-loss medications, it is important to set realistic expectations, focusing on safe, gradual weight loss rather than quick, dramatic changes. Aiming for a slower, steady pace allows your body to adjust, making it easier to maintain results over time.

Can You Get a “Ballet Body” with a Nonsurgical Mommy Makeover?

There has been a surge in popularity of what’s called the “ballet body” trend in the past year, according to recent data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The ballet body trend emphasizes a lean, toned physique over the curvier, more voluptuous hourglass figure that has been at the forefront of beauty trends for years.

While plastic surgeons are seeing an uptick in requests for surgical procedures like breast reductions, tummy tucks and mommy makeovers to achieve this look, you don’t have to go under the knife to get a ballet body. We offer several nonsurgical mommy makeover treatments at SpaVie that can help you achieve a more toned contour without surgery or extensive downtime.

Laser treatments have become some of the most popular nonsurgical solutions to a wide range of cosmetic concerns, from acne scars to wrinkles. Sciton offers some of the most advanced laser technology available, with a lineup of various laser types specifically designed to safely and effectively treat specific skin concerns. 

Here, the team of laser specialists at SpaVie explain how Sciton laser treatments can tackle five of the most common skincare troubles.

The Halo laser combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to target both the surface of your skin and the deeper layers underneath.

Can You Get Laser Skin Treatments in the Summer?

Yes, you absolutely can get laser skin treatments in the summer, but you will need to be extra diligent about staying out of the sun and following pre- and post-treatment guidelines. That’s because sun exposure can increase the risk of complications like hyperpigmentation while getting laser treatments. However, with proper care, laser treatments can be safely and effectively performed during the warmer months – here’s how.

What’s Challenging about Summer Laser Treatments?

While it is important to keep your skin protected from sun exposure when getting laser treatments any time of year, it can sometimes be more challenging to avoid the sun during the warmer summer months. Laser treatments can temporarily make your skin more sensitive and prone to UV damage both before and after treatment.
