What Is ELIXIR MD™?

ELIXIR MD™ is an FDA-cleared device that optimizes the way your body prepares for, responds to, and recovers from cosmetic surgery. This advanced system utilizes photobiomodulation therapy—an innovative light-based technology that channels specific wavelengths of therapeutic energy into the skin to activate your body’s natural regenerative processes.

Each wavelength of light energy is precisely calibrated to reach targeted skin depths, energizing your cells to accelerate healing and encourage collagen renewal. While deeper wavelengths boost tissue repair and cellular metabolism, light frequencies at a more superficial level work to soothe inflammation, minimize redness, and control swelling to help your recovery progress more comfortably and efficiently.

ELIXIR MD™ represents the next generation of cosmetic surgery aftercare, supporting rapid tissue regeneration, collagen formation, and refined scar healing for smoother, more beautiful results.

What Are the Benefits of ELIXIR MD™?

  • Accelerated Healing: ELIXIR MD™ stimulates cellular activity to accelerate incision recovery and shorten downtime.
  • Reduced Swelling and Bruising: By encouraging healthy lymphatic circulation, ELIXIR MD™ helps prevent fluid buildup and promotes even healing.
  • Lower Infection Risk: Pre-surgical light therapy with ELIXIR MD™ helps purify and balance your skin, decreasing the bacteria present and reducing the likelihood of post-op infection.
  • Improved Skin Quality: ELIXIR MD™ enhances skin tone, texture, and clarity for a smoother, more uniform complexion after your surgery.
  • Optimized Results: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, ELIXIR MD™ supports firmer, more resilient skin and longer-lasting results.

What Is ELIXIR MD™ Used For?

ELIXIR MD™ can be used with virtually any cosmetic surgery, enhancing both your results and recovery from procedures that may include:

Every ELIXIR MD™ protocol is custom-tailored to complement your aesthetic treatment plan, helping your body recover quickly and achieve exceptional results.

How Is ELIXIR MD™ Performed?

When you come in for your plastic surgery consultation, Dr. Agullo will design a personalized ELIXIR MD™ plan based on your individual procedure and goals. You will then undergo treatment sessions prior to surgery and as you recover.

Each ELIXIR MD™ session is performed in-office and is entirely noninvasive. The hands-free device is positioned over the treatment area, emitting therapeutic light energy that penetrates your skin without making direct contact. Sessions typically last between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on your individual treatment protocol.

ELIXIR MD™ Pre-op and Post-op Protocols

Before your cosmetic surgery, Dr. Agullo uses ELIXIR MD™ to prepare and detoxify your body to ensure optimal healing. After your procedure, his focus shifts to using ELIXIR MD™ to minimize inflammation, encourage tissue regeneration, and boost collagen production for a quick and seamless recovery.

Pre-op Protocol: ELIXIR MD™ Detox™ Treatment Benefits

Sterilizes the Surgical Site

Detox™ uses targeted light wavelengths to decrease the bacterial load on your skin’s surface, creating a cleaner environment for surgery and improving post-operative healing.

Supports Immune Balance

By optimizing your circulation and immune function before your procedure, Detox™ helps your body handle surgery and recovery more effectively and reduces the risk of infection.

Post-op Protocol: ELIXIR MD™ Cellular Repair™ Treatment Benefits

Enhances Cellular Regeneration

Cellular Repair™ activates your body’s natural repair processes to promote the growth of new cells and the formation of collagen, and aids in smoother incision healing.

Stimulates Lymphatic Drainage

By improving the movement of lymph fluid, Cellular Repair™ reduces swelling and helps eliminate waste while strengthening your immune defense.

Minimizes Inflammation

Cellular Repair™ works to calm tissues irritated by surgery, relieve discomfort and tenderness, and accelerate visible healing.

Post-op Protocol: ELIXIR MD™ NeoXcell™ Treatment Benefits

NeoXcell™ improves circulation and fluid balance to reduce puffiness, discomfort, and feelings of tightness.

Stimulates Collagen Remodeling

By activating fibroblast activity, NeoXcell™ treatments enhance your skin elasticity and support smoother, firmer surgical results.

Prevents Pigmentation Irregularities

To avoid post-procedure hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone (especially after facial surgeries), NeoXcell™ regulates melanin production.

Post-op Protocol: ELIXIR MD™ RoXium™ Treatment Benefits

By neutralizing free radicals, RoXium™ reduces cellular damage, improving energy production and supporting rapid recovery.
