Body Each day, our body gathers "toxins" – from our lifestyle, habits, the food we eat and even the air we breathe. Over time, toxins that the body can not discharge begin to accumulate between the cells deep in the dermal layers, potentially creating problematic skin conditions. Ionithermie’s natural ingredients may help to diminish the ‘orange-peel’ appearance of the skin at the source of the problem. How does it work? As evidenced all over the world, in over one million applications annually, the patented body mask penetrates natural materials such as guarana berry, ivy extracts and 104 trace elements from the sea. This helps with detoxification and to improve circulation … melting away the root cause of the orange peel problem. Complete clinical studies are available by request.   What is Ionithermie? State of the Art technology The Five Elements of Ionithermie Ionithermie works by using two kinds of electrical stimuli (galvanic and faradic), algae, conductive clay and Les Complexes Biotechniques products. It is the only treatment on the market to incorporate all of these elements to maximize the results on cellulite. All products occur naturally and are tested by dermatologists (animal free). Galvanic Stimulation has been used in beauty treatments for decades. It uses negative and positive ions to propel active, specialized preparations into the deeper layers of the skin - far deeper than normal application, massage or heat. Faradic Stimulation stimulates muscles electrically. It is used by medical physiotherapists and chiropractors to help restore weak or injured tissue. It is also popular for spot figure slimming. Micronized Algae aids in detoxification and remineralization as well as boosting the metabolism. Conductive Thermal Aroma Clay is Ionithermie's heat and current-conducting clay masque. It transmits the galvanic and faradic stimuli along with providing warmth and relaxation over an entire area where the clay has been placed on the body. For example from waist to knees, arms, abdominal area or the face and neck. Other treatments available on the martket, stimulate only the small area the pad covers, a meager 4 square inches or like Endermology, treat just below the tissue surface, whereas IONITHERMIE penetrates deep into the cellular level providing a much more effective total body cellulite treatment. Ionithermie's specialized products of Les Complexes Biotechniques include active ingredients like ivy, seaweed, and amino acids to break down and disperse the wastes of cellulite.  Sapphire Photo Abrasion is the ultimate combination therapy for the skin. It combines the latest in Red and Blue light rejuvenation therapies, lymphatic drainage, and microcurrent with a highly beneficial vitamin exfoliation for dramatic results that improve the skin’s health and appearance from the very first treatment. Treatment begins with a Sapphire Photo Abrasion. Named for the sapphire granules that cover its unique tip, this crystal and suction-free dry abrasion system uses vibration to painlessly ablate the outermost layers of the skin. The tip is slowly passed across the skin’s surface, revealing the healthier layers beneath. Because the system is suction-free and non-thermal, it can be used to treat a wide variety of skin conditions. Patients experience not only dry but also a wet abrasion, resulting in immediate improvement in the skin’s texture, tone and appearance. Patients note that the treatment is deeply relaxing, and physicians and aestheticians report that it leaves the skin more receptive to the vitamin infused light therapies.   Lymphatic Drainage follows the Sapphire Photo Abrasion. The function of the lymphatic system is to clear toxins, metals, inorganic substances and other waste from our tissues and cells. The lymphatic system has no pump and is dependent upon muscle contractions, stimulations, and deep breathing to drain properly. This unique lymphatic drainage process speeds up the removal of waste while it detoxifies and regenerates new tissue and cells. Using the reverse side of the Vitasonix 300’s tip, and changing from vibration to a pendulum motion, a massage of the lymph system is provided, following the facial paths of the lymphatic system. Concentrated Red Monochromatic Light therapy now follows. Throughout all the previous phases of the treatment, the skin has constantly received red monochromatic light exposure. Now, concentrated Red LED therapy is performed via a black pen device. The 630 nm wavelength of the red light stimulates the production of ATP, which is the major carrier of energy to all cells, expediting the replacement of older or damaged cells. In addition, it stimulates fibroblasts in the connective tissue that produces collagen, and promotes elasticity and firmness. Microcurrent is combined with the concentrated red LED to stimulate muscle toning. The final step of the Sapphire 3 treatment is Blue LED therapy. Blue LED light is the latest, most sought-after solution for reducing bacteria that causes acne. To varying degrees, everyone has bacterial deposits on their skin. The blue LED therapy component delivers blue light at 450nm at high frequency, destroying the bacteria known to cause acne and other related skin conditions by producing an extra molecule of O2, creating a medium in which acne bacteria is unable to survive.   -  A series of 6 treatments, (every 2 weeks) is recommended, followed by maintenance of 1 treatment per month. -  Sapphire Photo Abrasion is non-thermal and patients report no discomfort or downtime. -  Treatments are progressive. Increased correction will be observed following each treatment. Some results, like smoother skin texture, are obvious from the very first treatment.   Sapphire Photo Abrasion is itself a stand-alone anti-aging program, but is also gaining popularity as a complement to other skin rejuvenation procedures. It may even increase the longevity and results of today’s most popular laser and light procedures.
	O2 Intraceuticals Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy When we age our ability to absorb oxygen from the atmosphere decreases and our ability to produce the body’s natural moisture factors decreases, the result of this is a breakdown in the regeneration process.

Application of Hyperbaric Oxygen The application of oxygen under hyperbaric pressure allows the epidermis to maximize its oxygen surface level concentration. This pressure also assists in the rapid absorption of the O2 Intaceuticals serums. Rejuvenation Serum O2 Intraceuticals Rejuvenation Serum has a base of Hyaluronic Acid - an ingredient found naturally in the skin and renown for its superior hydration benefits. Powerful antioxidants including Vitamins A, C and E and Green Tea neutralize free radicals and high concentrations of super moisturizers to ensure perfect hydration and suppleness.

	Dr. Patrick Bitter, Developer of the Photofacial Treatment Protocol has a few words to say about our Oxygen Therapy Facial    We have nothing but excellent clinical and cosmetic results using the Intraceuticals Oxygen Therapy. Initially we were using the treatments indicated by the manufacturer as a stand alone. Once we discovered its soothing and hydrating component to the skin, we began incorporating this treatment into our PhotoFacial protocol. The treatment works well post chemical peel for sun damaged skin. Its hydrating and lightening components are a compliment to the results of the chemical peel as well as post fractional resurfacing. Patrick H. Bitter Sr., MD , Founder Epi Center MedSpa Developer of the PhotoFacial Treatment Protocol     The Intraceuticals Oxygen Infusion is truly a favorite among my patients. We are known for giving intense result-driven treatments at the Epicenter MedSpa, so I was a bit wary of bringing on a treatment that does not involve a little bit of recovery time. But this treatment is fabulous. The results are instant and longer lasting than I expected. I always do half a face and let the patient sit up to compare sides. They are always shocked at the instant lift and plumping action of their skin. This is a great stand alone treatment for dehydration and does wonders to help bring down inflammation of the skin. The Oxygen Facial works miracles to speed up the healing time and reduce sensitivity after aggressive Photofacials, Photodynamic Therapy and Fractionated Ablative Treatments. And of course this is a must-have treatment for a special event-who doesn’t want to have plump, glowing skin? Lara Ballis Director of Clinical Esthetics EpiCenter Medspa
