If you want tighter, younger-looking skin, you have probably been told to buy a collagen cream or take a collagen powder. But your body doesn't just absorb a scoop of powder and immediately send it to your face. It breaks it down into amino acids in your gut.
This is where the anti-aging process breaks down for most people: malabsorption. If your digestive system is compromised, you cannot build collagen, no matter how much you supplement.
The Precursors to Collagen
To synthesize new collagen (a process called neocollagenesis), your body requires specific raw materials: essential amino acids, Vitamin C, zinc, copper, and silica. If you have a hidden gut issue, a stressed liver, or low stomach acid, you aren't properly absorbing these vital nutrients from your diet.
At Phelts Chiropractic PC, we use Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) to find the block. By testing your neurological reflexes, Dr. Phelts identifies exactly which organs are stressed and prescribes precise, regenerative supplements to restore your digestive absorption. We ensure your body actually has the fuel it needs to build healthy skin.
Triggering the Build with EMFACE
Once your body has the raw materials, we need to give it the signal to start building. We use the EMFACE device, which utilizes synchronized Radiofrequency (RF) to heat the dermal layers, directly stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, while High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) tones and lifts the underlying facial muscles.
Total Body Integration: Rebuilding the Core
We apply this exact same integrative philosophy to the rest of your body's foundation:
- Core Sculpting: To rebuild the core, we use EMSCULPT NEO. Peer-reviewed studies show that EMSCULPT NEO can physically pull the abdominal muscles back together, reducing Diastasis Recti by an average of 19%.
- Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: When it comes to the pelvic floor, many people try manual Kegels. However, there is no progressive resistance or load when doing Kegels. Strengthening muscles, including pelvic floor muscles, requires resistance exercise. As resistance increases, more muscle fibers are recruited, which results in stronger, more toned, and developed muscles. Kegels improve strength only a little and tone minimally because they lack progressive resistance.
- The EMSELLA Solution: Instead, we use EMSELLA, which is FDA-approved to treat urinary incontinence. With EMSELLA, every muscle fiber is stimulated to contract maximally for maximal strengthening, building (for men), toning (for women), and development. It recruits many more muscle fibers than standard Kegels, delivering 11,200 contractions. This massive increase in muscle causes angiogenesis (the creation of new blood vessels), which increases blood flow for firmer erections in men and better lubrication and arousal in women.
Stop guessing with your skincare. Treat your body from the inside out:
