The missing ingredient you didn’t know your body needed!

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, or NAD+, is a coenzyme produced by the human body to catalyze the reaction of Niacin into its active form used by the body. This active form is essential for the metabolization of food to energy used in the trillions of cells throughout the body. By supporting healthy cell function, NAD+ helps maintain a healthy nervous, digestive, and immune system. It also helps the integumentary system regenerate skin cells faster and healthier for improved skin appearance and fight the aging process. Extensive research has shown that NAD+ can also help with depression and anxiety by supporting brain cell function to improve mood, energy levels, and sleep cycles. It is also known to support the repair of cells damaged by alcohol and/or drug abuse to ease the recovery process. The antioxidative properties of NAD+ help fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Free Radicals’ molecular properties make it very easy for them to attach to healthy cells in the body. They destroy those healthy cells which leads to increased potential for illnesses and aging. NAD+ combats this by balancing the molecular properties of a Free Radical, thus preventing its ability to attach to a healthy cell. It can also help combat age-related diseases like Alzeihmer’s and dementia by supporting the regulation of gene expression. When gene expression of protein molecules is not properly regulated, genetic mutations are more likely to occur, increasing the risk of these diseases. Although NAD+ is naturally produced by the body, factors like aging, stress, alcohol, and poor diet can dramatically accelerate the decline of the natural production of this vital coenzyme. Supplementing with our NAD+ injections or IV can dramatically improve a person’s quality of life almost immediately. Let’s get you on track to a healthier, happier, and overall better life.

Everyone always seems to get a little uneasy at the mention of steroid injections. It’s time to crush the stigma and discuss all of the amazing benefits Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) have to offer! Nandrolone Decanoate, commonly referred to as Decca, is an AAS that is formed from structurally altering the hormone testosterone. Nandrolone has a positive influence on calcium and protein metabolism and synthesis and Decanoate allows for a steady release of the Nandrolone in the body over a 2-3 week period on average. If increasing muscle mass and strength is the goal, Nandrolone Decanoate is an excellent option! Decca has high anabolic effects, which is the increase of soft tissue growth, and low androgenic effects, to promote a major increase in muscle mass. The formation of muscle growth is caused by the tearing of myofibrils, the fiber strands that are bundled together to form a muscle. When these tissue fibers are damaged and torn the body repairs them with new fibers that are thicker, resulting in muscle hypertrophy, or the increase of muscle mass. The result of this process is greater strength and increased muscle size. Androgenic hormones effect the development of male sex hormone characteristics. When a steroid has high angrogenic influences on the body it tricks it into thinking it has more of the sex hormones than it really does, and the body stops producing them naturally. This causes hair loss, fatigue, depression, and low sex drive in men. Since Decca has a low androgenic influence compared to other steroids available, it is a much more desirable option. The biologically active form, 19-norandrosterone, is synthesized in the liver,  then sent to the target tissues in the body where it binds with cytosolic receptors, which activates cellular protein synthesis throughout those tissues. As the body repairs and replaces the damaged myofibrils, there is an increase in the amount of myofibrils produced and each one is much thicker and stronger than they would have been without the boost from Decca. 

It also stimulates the production of Insulin Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), which is another major hormone required for the synthesis of bone and soft tissue cells, including muscle fibers, while also increasing the body’s metabolism of glucose, which results in a decrease in the number of fat cells in the body. Decca also increases the number of red blood cells in order to carry more oxygen and nitrogen to myofibrils to boost their rate of regeneration. So not only do muscle tissues heal stronger, they also heal much faster! It is important to note that the visible results of Decca take longer to notice than other popular anabolic steroids but the results are much easier to maintain after stopping its use so there isn’t any major mass fluctuation that is commonly experienced with other anabolic steroids.

The positive influence on calcium metabolism increases bone mass and has made Decca a promising treatment for patients suffering from Osteoporosis, combatting the deficiency that causes brittle and fragile bones. It’s also beneficial as a supportive treatment for those suffering from chronic debilitating diseases by increasing the rate of cell synthesis. Decca also increases the body’s natural collagen production, especially in cartilage, so it stimulates healing in joints and reduces inflammation and pain in joints. At a low dose, Decca can be used to treat these kinds of illnesses without experiencing the muscle mass growth effects commonly associated with AAS injections. Here at Recharge dosing is controlled and monitored closely by Dr. Tieche and his team of professionals so it is very safe and allows patients to receive all of the amazing benefits of this anabolic steroid. Be sure to ask about Nandrolone Decanoate during your next visit at either of our locations!

The Honeymoon injection, suitably named, is a peptide injection of PT-141 designed for increasing libido. Peptides are amino acid chains that are naturally occuring in the body; they are responsible for the stimulation of glands throughout the Endocrine system in the body. Unfortunately, as we age, our bodies’ production of peptides declines and as a result there are less hormones being produced and secreted by the Endocrine system. Fortunately scientific research has discovered how to supplement these peptides and correct the hormone deficiencies we are lacking. In the case of PT-141, it is injected into the fatty tissue in the hip and then the magic begins. It travels through the central nervous system into the Hypothalamus gland in the brain. It then binds with the Melanocortin 4 receptor to trigger the production and activation of dopamine hormones to synthesize sex hormones through a process known as steroidogenesis. This hormone reaction increases sexual desire and performance and also stimulates sexual motivation. 

PT-141 has been tested extensively to determine how it works in replacement of oral erectile dysfunction medications such as Tadalafil and Sildenafil (Cialis and Viagra). It has been proven to be successful because it treats ED in a safer and more effective way. Rather than just increasing blood flow so that an erection can be achieved, it actually increases sexual desire and motivation so much that an erection is achieved naturally. This is extremely important for those who suffer from high blood pressure or other vascular issues that would make them a high risk candidate for these oral medications. Now ladies, don’t feel like this is just for the men! This peptide injection is proven just as effective for women as well. If you suffer from decreased libido or another issue resulting in the inability to achieve arousal, this injection could be exactly what you need to regain that passion and desire you miss. This natural hormone-stimulating peptide is safe and effective for both men and women! That being said, a person who does not suffer from ED or any other libido inhibiting medical or psychological illness can still enjoy the benefits of the Honeymoon injection! For those interested in some extra excitement or a little extra spice in your sex life, this injection works just as well for you!

As with any peptide, the initial changes to the body’s hormone levels can potentially come with some slight side effects. Some people have noticed increased body temperature, slight nausea, and a flushed appearance for a few hours post-injection. These vary from person to person as our bodies are all different, but it is not something that should be expected every time you get the injection. After a few consistent injections, the body adjusts to the increased production of hormones and the side effects subside. On average, the desired effect of the Honeymoon injection occurs anywhere from minutes to a couple hours after the shot is received and lasts anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. This does not mean that you will walk around for two days in a permanent state of arousal! It will simply have your body prepared to release sex hormones when sexual stimulation is desired. So next time your significant other wants to surprise you and lock that bedroom door, you can feel confident and prepared without having to stop and take your medication, or focus so hard on achieving arousal that you don’t get to be present and enjoy the moment. 

Do you have an old tattoo that didn’t age well? How about one that seemed like a great idea at the time but isn’t so great anymore? We can help you! Here at Recharge Clinic we offer laser tattoo removal using our top of the line Q-Switch Picosecond laser. The tattoo removal process can vary from person to person based on different factors. The size, location, and color of the tattoo can have an influence on how many sessions it can take for complete removal. Surprisingly, darker colors like shades of black and blue remove better than lighter shades like hues of red or yellow. The quality of the tattoo can also have an effect since it is more difficult for the laser to penetrate through scarred tissue to the ink underneath, a common sign of a lesser quality tattoo. The laser emits pulses of light energy through the layers of the skin to heat up and shatter the ink molecules into tiny particles in a process known as photothermolysis. After the molecules are broken down into these tiny particles, macrophages, which are a type of white blood cell responsible for cleanup of foreign pathogens in the body, transport the particles to the closest lymph nodes. Once the particles enter the lymph nodes the body’s natural filtering system, the lymphatic system, processes and removes the ink particles from the body. An optimized lymphatic system can greatly improve the results of a removal session. Drinking plenty of water and getting daily exercise are key to maintaining a healthy lymphatic system and increasing the rate at which tattoo ink is removed. On average it can take anywhere between five to ten sessions to remove a tattoo completely. A common concern about tattoo removal is about the level of pain caused by the heat from the laser pulses. Here at Recharge our patients’ comfort is our top priority, so we offer the option to numbed at no extra charge. So if you are considering removing a tattoo, stop in today for a free consultation with our experts on the topic: Dr. Tieche and our two wonderful Physician’s Assistants, Avery and Chuck. We hope to see you soon!

Let’s talk collagen! Collagen is an extremely important protein produced in the body as it is a major component in creating structure and strength in bones, tendons and ligaments, cartilage, blood vessels, and skin. As we age the body slows down its natural production of collagen, on average starting at around age 25. Sun exposure, sugars and refined carbs, smoking, and oxidative stresses from free radicals destroys existing collagen in the body. All of these factors combined result in the visual signs of aging. Skin becomes less elastic, fine lines and wrinkles become more prominent, texture becomes rougher, and skin tone becomes less even and bright. But don’t get worried just yet! We offer some amazingly beneficial facials and one of them is known as the Hydro Oxygen facial: designed to help combat aging, acne and inflammation, pigment discoloration caused by hyper- or hypo-pigmentation or scarring, as well as rough texture. The Hydro Oxygen facial utilizes a wand-like tool to deliver high-pressurized oxygen as well as serums into the skin. Delivering oxygen to the skin’s cells helps boost their production of collagen and increases blood circulation to help with the detoxification of oxidative stress-causing free radicals. This leaves the skin looking plump and healthy. When done consistently once every three to five weeks the boost in collagen production can improve the skin from within, revealing a brighter and more even complexion, smoother texture, and youthful, tight skin.

Acne sufferers should also consider the Hydro Oxygen facial for its bacteria killings effects. The acne-causing bacteria is anaerobic, meaning it thrives in multiplies in places where there is a lack of oxygen, making a clogged pore the perfect breeding ground. When the oxygen is forced into the pore it kills the bacteria, which decreases the visual inflammation and size of the blemish. When combined with the dermaplaning or high frequency, clearing acne of any type becomes a quick and effective process that can boost self confidence in anyone! Be sure to stop in today at either of our locations to receive a Hydro Oxygen facial and leave feeling refreshed and beautiful!

Everyone is trying to reach those incredible “Dream Body” goals... Peptides or hGH have become a large part of the health, fitness and anti aging world. Read below to understand more about what they are and how they work! hGH, human Growth Hormone, is a naturally occurring hormone released by the Pituitary gland that is essential for cell reproduction and regeneration, most abundantly in bones and muscles. As we age our bodies’ production of hGH slows down rapidly, often requiring supplementation from outside sources. Peptides are natural amino acids that mimic the hormone Ghrelin, the hormone responsible for stimulating the Pituitary gland to produce and release hGH into the body system. It is a common misconception that supplementing hGH is purely for the purpose of building muscle mass. While this is true that depending on the dosage, Peptides or hGH can increase muscle mass at a rate otherwise unachievable without it. But there are other desirable benefits that are appealing to both men and women. Some of these benefits include: increased bone density, improved recovery time from musculoskeletal injuries or exercise-induced soreness, improved cognitive function and mental clarity, better sleep/wake cycle, an increased sex drive in both men and women, and increased fat loss by reducing the amount of triglycerides (fat cells) stored in the body while also increasing the body’s metabolic rate. It is also known to increase collagen production and fight the visible signs of aging while helping to prevent age-related diseases caused by cell death.In general, it takes around six weeks to begin experiencing all of the benefits Peptides have to offer. Usually in the first three weeks you will notice the improved sleep/wake cycle and feel more refreshed in the mornings, muscle recovery quickens, and there’s a noticeable improvement in mental clarity and cognitive reactions. By week six most people notice all of these benefits as well as healthier skin and better body composition with visibly less fat and more lean muscle. hGH achieves the same benefits, only at a faster rate averaging about half the time to see the same significant results as Peptides. Also, for those looking specifically for fat burning and weight loss, be sure to ask about our newest natural supplement, AOD 9604. It is the isolated fragment of hGH that triggers the release of fat cells to be burned as energy for the body, while also decreasing the production and storage of fat cells throughout the body. It boosts the metabolism and increases the amount of calories burned during exercise without causing negative effects on blood sugar levels and tissue growth.Depending on what your individual goals are, whether it be weight loss, increasing muscle mass, boosting that sex drive to spice things up again, or just to feel better mentally, Dr. Tieche will prescribe the dosage that best suits your needs so you can feel better inside and out. For those on testosterone and/or Nandrolone Decanoate and still wanting more to reach that Mr. Olympia look, stacking Peptides or hGH may help give that extra push to bust through that plateau. So be sure to ask any of our R.N.s, P.A.s, or the expert himself, Dr. Tieche, if Peptides are what you’ve been missing and get yourself on track to looking and feeling your best!
