What is ElixirMD™?
ElixirMD™ is a revolutionary device that uses different wavelengths of LED light to stimulate changes to your skin at a cellular level. By targeting skin cells, the treatment accelerates wound healing and minimizes scarring after cosmetic enhancements. Dr. Frank Agullo can customize this non-invasive procedure to your specific needs, whether you are recovering from facial surgery, laser treatment, or microneedling.
Benefits of ElixirMD™ Recovery
ElixirMD™ is designed to minimize post-treatment downtime and enhance the treatment experience for patients. Light therapy is safe, non-invasive, and side-effect-free. Dr. Agullo uses ElixirMD™ to:
- Cleanse and detox the skin before treatment for a cleaner treatment site
- Activate cellular repair deep in the tissue for faster healing
- Stimulate collagen and elastic production to enhance skin health
- Boost blood flow for quicker recovery and enhanced results
- Improve lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and inflammation
- Regulate melanin production to prevent post-treatment hyperpigmentation
How ElixirMD™ Enhances Laser Treatment Healing
Lasers offer a bevy of benefits, from tightening the skin to improving texture and tone. Lasers aren’t surgery, but some treatments do require substantial downtime afterward. Whether you undergo an ablative laser that removes outer skin layers or a fractional laser that creates deep micro-injuries in the skin, you are likely to go home with side effects like redness, swelling, and skin crusting.
ElixirMD™ addresses these symptoms, using light therapy to reduce swelling, bruising, and inflammation. The light effectively delivers nutrients to the treatment area while removing waste, creating a more efficient healing process. The cellular repair achieved by ElixirMD™ treatments boosts collagen and elastin levels beyond what your laser treatment alone can achieve, enhancing your results.
Morpheus8™ Aftercare Using ElixirMD™
Morpheus8™ is a revolutionary procedure that combines microneedling with targeted radiofrequency (RF) heating to tighten skin, minimize facial lines, and reduce the appearance of acne scarring. The device can deliver superior rejuvenation results while minimizing downtime.
Morpheus8™ uses microneedling to deliver RF energy deep into the dermis, where it can most effectively tighten the dermis and stimulate collagen production. Although it is a minimally invasive treatment, patients often experience some redness and swelling in the treatment area that can last a few days. By adding ElixirMD™ to your treatment protocol, Dr. Agullo can reduce these post-treatment side effects, support your body’s natural collagen production, and enhance your Morpheus8™ results.
ElixirMD™ Before and After Surgery
ElixirMD™ is particularly beneficial before and after surgical procedures, such as facelifts, body contouring, and breast enhancement. Before surgery, Dr. Agullo uses the ElixirMD™ Detox™ treatment to reduce bacteria on the skin’s surface, create a more sterile surgical site, and lower your risk of infection.
After surgery, ElixirMD™Cellular Repair™, NeoXcell™, and RoXium™ support the body’s recovery process and optimize your results. Cellular Repair™ promotes cell turnover and collagen production, essential functions for healing your incision and restoring the surgical area. NeoXcell™ reduces swelling by supporting the body’s circulation and fluid balance. RoXium™ accelerates the recovery process by enhancing the body’s natural detoxification and lymphatic drainage.
