Elixir MD™ Treatment Solutions

Elixir Detox™ Treatment
The Detox™ treatment regimen can help those with acne and offers pre- and post-operative benefits for surgical patients. The use of blue light helps to reduce bacterial loads and decrease the toxins secreted on the skin leading to a reduction in surgical infections. So how does it specifically work for these two modalities?
Acne vulgaris
Cutibacterium acnes (formerly called Propionibacterium acnes) is present in the majority of cases of acnes vulgaris. The presence of this bacteria on the skin can lead to inflammation and worsening acne. The blue light emitted with DetoxTM treatments stimulates chemicals in the bacteria to produce reactive molecules that attack the bacteria.
Pre-op and Post-op Treatments

The use of a Detox™ program before surgery promotes the sterilization of the skin by decreasing the number of bacteria leading to a lower risk of developing an infection after surgery. Additionally, the use of Detox™ post-operatively helps to cleanse the skin around incisions to reduce infections and enhance the healing process.
Elixir Cellular™ Treatment

The Cellular™ therapy program harnesses the healing power of yellow light to improve the healing process after surgery. The frequency utilized by yellow light stimulates the upper layers of the skin to reduce inflammation and swelling during the post-surgical healing period. Additionally, yellow light stimulates cells involved in the healing process to become more active, helping to reduce the healing time and get you back to activities faster.
Cellular treatment effectively accelerates healing following both surgical and non-surgical procedures. It boosts skin remodeling, enhances collagen production, and ensures scars fade, allowing patients to enjoy their results sooner. Moreover, it directly addresses bruising and swelling after fillers, facial surgery, and aggressive laser treatments, guaranteeing a smoother recovery.
The cellular treatment program is a valuable additive to the recovery process and is recommended after all surgical procedures.
Elixir Thermal™ Treatment

The Thermal™ treatment program harnesses the power of red light therapy to boost healing, stimulate blood flow, and improve lymphatic drainage from the area. These benefits translate into accelerated healing, reduced swelling, and improved outcomes.
Red light therapy will stimulate the production of energy by the powerhouses of the cells (mitochondria) which stimulates an increase in the production of collagen. This leads to firmer skin providing a significant benefit in healing after body contouring procedures that require skin to tighten up after the procedure.
Additionally, the ability of this treatment to stimulate lymphatic flow helps to stimulate the removal of excess fluid from the surgical site resulting in less swelling and quicker healing.
Red light stimulates the treatment area to increase blood flow which further improves the healing process and can help by improving the appearance of pigmented lesions resulting in younger, healthier skin.
Elixir Thermal™ is an excellent adjuvant to body contouring procedures, as well as aiding in improving the appearance through the result of a more even skin tone and texture.
Elixir NeoXcell™ Treatment

The NeoXcell™ treatment program combines the benefits of Elixir Cellular™ and Thermal™ into one comprehensive skin rejuvenation therapy. This treatment program boosts healing and contributes to a more balanced skin tone.
This combination therapy helps with healing by stimulating the production of collagen while improving lymphatic drainage aiding in swelling reduction. Additionally, this skin program balances melatonin production throughout the skin for a more even skin tone.
Overall this program provides a solution for long-term skin health while improving the vibrancy and youthful appearance of the skin.
Elixir RoXium™ Treatment

The RoXium™ therapy program combines the benefits of blue and yellow light therapy to enhance the antioxidant mechanisms within the skin. This treatment can help protect the skin from oxidative damage and boost overall cellular health.
This therapy couples the benefits of antioxidants with the stimulation of lymphatic drainage helping to remove impurities from the skin. Additionally, RoXium™ targets sebaceous glands within the pores to decrease sebum production, reduce pore size, and provide a clearer complexion.
The RoXium™ program provides a holistic approach to skin rejuvenation and health.
Is Elixir MD™ Safe?
Elixir MD™ uses various wavelengths of light therapy that have undergone rigorous testing and meet the safety standards set forth by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The use of light therapy is considered safe and has virtually no side effects. This allows the treatment programs to be used during the delicate time of post-surgical healing to help assist the body’s natural mechanisms and improve the overall outcomes of facial plastic surgery.
