Injections
​
Dr. Michelle Hagel provides intramuscular injections (IM)
​
Why injections?
​
Intramuscular nutrients bypass our gastrointestinal system and liver filtration allowing for higher levels to be delivered directly to cells. Individuals suffering from digestive concerns and acute or chronic illness are generally not able to absorb the necessary nutrients from foods and oral supplements.
Oral supplementation requires energy to put nutrients into cells. Intramuscular nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream then travel passively into cells because of a concentration gradient.
Intramuscular method is direct, doesn’t loose valuable nutrients in the digestive process and requires little energy from the body. IM treatments have the ability to reach the desired dose and concentration that other methods may not.
Injectables offered:
B-Complex, Vitamin B5 (Dexpanthenol), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), Methylfolate (B9), Vitamin B12, B-complex, Adrenal injection, Lipotropic injection (Weight loss),
Other nutrients include Glutathione, CoenzymeQ10, Magnesium, L-tryptophan, Taurine, NAD
Each IM therapy will be specifically tailored for the nutritional requirements of the individual.
Mesotherapy
​
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment used widely in Europe and elsewhere to eliminate fine lines, wrinkles and cellulite. It involves injections of homeopathic remedies, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids into the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin).
Needle-less mesotherapy is now available. How can we do this without needles? By using an electroporation system there is an electrical pulse at the site that will disrupt the membrane of cells and form temporary pores. This allows for larger molecules to be transmitted directly into the cells of the skin, much like the effect of a injection without the needle. We use the same injectable substances with the electroporation system as traditional mesotherapy. This method ensures that there is no bruising or bleeding, it is painless, often feels like a low grade electrical pulse like a tens machine.
Mesotherapy can also be used for dark circles, acne, pigmentation and scarring. There are a variety of different combinations used in mesotherapy, they are determined by the practitioner based on each individual and their desired outcome. Mesotherapy is superior to using topical agents because the molecules are delivered directly to the tissues.
