GLOSSARY
Welcome to the INNOVAES Regenerative Sciences Glossary. This resource is designed to help you understand the wide range of treatments and procedures we offer. By providing clear and concise definitions, we aim to empower you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about your health and aesthetic goals. Whether you're exploring options for sub-surgical restoration™, hormone replacement therapies, or weight loss optimization, our glossary serves as a comprehensive guide to the advanced and innovative treatments available to you.
Sub-Surgical Restoration™: A minimally invasive procedure aimed at restoring the natural structure and appearance of tissues without the need for traditional surgery. This method uses advanced techniques to promote healing and regeneration at a cellular level.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): A treatment designed to supplement or replace hormones that the body no longer produces in sufficient quantities. Commonly used to alleviate symptoms of menopause in women and low testosterone levels in men.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT): A specific type of hormone replacement therapy focused on replenishing low levels of testosterone in men. It aims to improve symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, and muscle loss.
Weight Loss Optimization: A comprehensive approach to weight management that combines diet, exercise, and medical treatments to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. This may include nutritional counseling, metabolic testing, and prescription medications.
Bio-Stimulators: Substances injected into the skin to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, leading to improved skin firmness and elasticity. Common bio-stimulators include polynucleotides, polycaprolactone, calcium hydroxyapatite, and L-polylactic acid.
Fillers: Injectable treatments that add volume to the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The most popular fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body and retains moisture.
Botox: A brand name for botulinum toxin Type A, used to temporarily relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Commonly used areas include the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows.
Xeomin: Another botulinum toxin Type A injectable, similar to Botox but without additional proteins, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. It is used to treat wrinkles, particularly frown lines.
Polynucleotides: Small fragments of DNA and RNA used in aesthetic treatments to improve skin firmness and hydration. They are biocompatible and promote cellular regeneration.
Polycaprolactone: A biodegradable polymer used in bio-stimulators to enhance collagen production and improve skin texture and elasticity.
Calcium Hydroxyapatite: A mineral-like compound used in fillers and bio-stimulators to provide volume and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother and firmer skin.
L-Polylactic Acid: A biodegradable substance used in bio-stimulators to promote collagen synthesis, providing long-lasting skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction.
Dermal Fillers: Injectables that add volume beneath the skin to smooth out wrinkles and enhance facial contours. Common types include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
Liquid Facelift: A non-surgical facelift using a combination of dermal fillers and botulinum toxin injectables to lift and contour the face, providing a rejuvenated appearance.
Metabolic Testing: An assessment that measures your body’s metabolism to tailor weight loss and nutrition plans specifically to your metabolic rate and needs.
Nutritional Counseling: Personalized dietary advice and planning to support overall health and specific medical conditions, including weight management and hormone balance.
Prescription Medications for Weight Loss: FDA-approved medications prescribed to help individuals lose weight by reducing appetite or increasing feelings of fullness.
Crow’s Feet: Fine lines that appear around the outer corners of the eyes, commonly treated with botulinum toxin injectables like Botox or Xeomin.
Glabellar Lines: Vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows, often referred to as “11” lines, treated with botulinum toxin injectables.
Cellular Regeneration: The process of renewing and repairing cells to maintain healthy tissue function and appearance. Treatments promoting cellular regeneration are often used in aesthetic medicine to rejuvenate the skin.
Minimally Invasive Procedures: Medical treatments that require only small incisions or no incisions at all, resulting in shorter recovery times and less discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
