At Coral Medical Health Spa, our Lifestyle Educators will determined based on your health concerns the associated health issues including metabolic syndrome-such as excess body fat, high cholesterol, and other cardiovascular disease (CVD) issues-and/or type 2 diabetes, and will recommended the appropriate UltraMeal, UltraMeal Plus, or UltraGlycemX  program combined with a dietary plan and a specific Patient Guide.

UltraMeal Plan: A Specialized 1000 – 1300 calorie meal plan based on your individualized bio-impedance analysis and 1-3 daily serving of ultrameal 360. Included in this program is the Ultrameal 360 quick start guide, outlining daily serving restrictions per food group. A daily Ultrameal journal is kept for the duration of the program, outlining the following:

You will meet with your lifestyle educator every two weeks for a follow-up bio-impedance analysis, girth measurements, and lifestyle journal modification if needed. In addition you will have access to your lifestyle educator six days per week via phone and email.

Ultrameal 360 Meal Replacement Shake (1-3 serving or two ½ servings per day): UltraMealT Plus 360° V Low GI Metabolic Food with Plant Sterols, Hops and Acacia. UltraMeal Plus 360° is a delicious, nutritionally fortified powdered beverage product designed to support healthy body composition. A blend of soy protein, isoflavones, plant sterols, iso-alpha acids and acacia extract UltraMeal Plus 360° can also help support healthy cholesterol levels and insulin function. Contains reduced iso-alpha acids (RIAA) and acacia extract for selective kinase support. Ultrameal program implementation and coaching: By carefully studying the ultrameal journal and the bio-impedance analysis, the lifestyle educator will determine the appropriate caloric intake and food group split for each two week interval of the Ultrameal program. The bio-impedance analysis accurately determines the change in body composition relating to fat mass, muscle mass and water shifts in the body. Therefore, the lifestyle educator will ensure the correct balance of body mass reduction is accomplished throughout the program by maintaining and even increasing muscle mass while reducing body fat and managing water fluctuations in the body.

Expected Results:

What is Ultrameal/UltraGlycemX medical food?

A natural strategy should attempt to balance glucose and insulin levels.

- Simple dietary changes. Patients with blood sugar dysregulation that consume a diet high in simple sugars, processed foods, saturated fats, and low in fiber can exacerbate their condition. By eating the right kinds of foods, such as a low-glycemic-load diet, patients can enhance the success of their program. The glycemic index (GI) assesses blood glucose response to a food, and research documents that people at risk of diabetes should maintain a diet with low GI foods.

- Targeted nutritional support. Research suggests that certain vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients in foods can improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin. That is, they can improve the cells response to insulin so that the body needs to secrete less of the hormone to achieve the same effect. And specific starches and fibers help stabilize blood glucose and insulin levels.

Such As:

- Cinnamon. In a double-blind, controlled trial, cinnamon was shown to promote healthy insulin and glucose metabolism in people with diabetes. In vitro and animal studies also suggest that cinnamon may modulate insulin action.

- Specialized nutrients. Chromium, alpha-lipoic acid, vanadium, vitamin E, biotin, and magnesium support insulin receptor sensitivity and function, as well as insulin-stimulated glucose disposal.

- Antioxidants. Beta-carotene, zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, and vitamins A, C, and E help reduce the oxidative stress associated with hyperinsulinemia.

- Protein & isoflavones. Dietary protein adequacy and nitrogen balance are key in controlling dysinsulinemias, and isoflavone intake appears to be inversely associated with incidence of type 2 diabetes.

- Targeted carbohydrates. Studies have shown that high amylose starch improves insulin response and glucose levels of normal and diabetic subjects, and long-term consumption of a diet with high amylose starch may be of benefit in improving hypertriglyceridemia.

- Galactomannan from locust bean. Hypolipidemic agent that may substantially improve both the glycemic and insulinemic responses in patients with type 2 diabetes.

- Soluble fiber from guar gum. Helps lower postprandial blood glucose and insulin in type 2 diabetes.

The Starlux 1540 laser facial resurfacing is a new, fractional, single treatment laser created to improve skin conditions resulting from aging and sun contact. Starlux 1540 offers the most efficient laser facial resurfacing treatment, as assessed for safety, patient experience and recovery time.

What does “fractional mean?
Fractional therapy means that the treatment is designed to affect only a fraction or small percentage of the skin.

Who is best suited to for a Starlux 1540 laser facial resurfacing treatment?
Patients with pale-to-medium skin tones and skin imperfections due to aging and sun damage will benefit from the Starlux 1540 laser facial resurfacing. PLEASE NOTE: This treatment is not suited to deep skin tones; please ask us about a skin therapy plan using other effective beauty treatments.

What areas of the face can be treated?
The Starlux 1540 can treat the entire face and is particularly beneficial in the delicate areas around the eyes and mouth. These areas often reveal the first signs of aging and can be difficult to treat.

When will I see results?
Most of our patients see improvement within a week after a skin resurfacing treatment. It’s recommended that a minimum of 3 treatments are done for optimal results.

How soon can I wear make-up?
You may apply make-up five days after treatment.

Does the treatment hurt?
The sensation of the treatment is similar to that of an elastic band snapping against the skin. It’s mildly uncomfortable and a topical anesthetic may be used to reduce discomfort, although it’s not required.

Is there any “downtime”?
There is no official medical down-time, however it’s recommended that you remain away from direct sunlight for 2-3 weeks following treatment and always apply an appropriate sun block for 2 months. In addition some redness and swelling may occur in the areas treated 3-5 days post treatment.

Can Starlux 1540 work with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients have a Starlux 1540 treatment in combination with other beauty therapies. Your custom treatment plan could include other laser and light based procedures like IPL Photorejuvenation. We’ll be happy to discuss combination treatment options with you.

How do I get started?
It’s simple. please contact us to schedule your no-obligation complementary consultation with one of our certified laser technicians.

Being the top medical cosmetic spa and leaders in Essex County, we strive to offer safe, effective and results based treatments to ensure that Spider Veins are removed quickly without danger to the surrounding tissue. We use the Apogee Elite Laser technology, specifically utilizing the ND:YAG Laser for Spider Vein Removal.

Currently, the long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser is regarded as being as effective as sclerotherapy for the treatment of leg veins, and is the treatment of choice in patients who do not respond to sclerotherapy or who are “needle phobic”.

Description of Spider and Reticular Veins: Spider veins are often found on the face and legs. The thin veins on the legs termed spider veins usually appear on the thighs and ankles. The veins on the face generally appear on the nose, chin or cheek area and often occur in rosacea. These veins are purple, blue or red and usually appear in three basic shapes: linear, branch-like or spider-shaped, with a dark center point.

Nearly 70% of all women and 30% of men will develop some type of venous disorder. Spider veins result from reticular veins or truncal insufficiency. Additional contributing factors include: Heredity Pregnancy Hormonal changes Being overweight Standing or sitting for prolonged of time Advancing age Trauma Sun-exposure for veins on the face

The Nd:YAG laser light used at Coral Medical Health Spa penetrates deeply into tissue and can be used for the coagulation of unwanted veins. It may take several weeks after the laser treatment to notice improvement and often additional vein treatments are required.

Pricing: $139-$189 per treatment depending on the time required and area treated. To determine exact pricing please contact guest services to schedule a FREE consultation.
