Well, hello everybody.
We're back with anotherfantastic episode of Benchmark
Happenings, and today we haveKelly Rogers with Performance
Medicine.
So, Kelly, thank you for beinghere today.
Awesome, Thank you for havingme.
Oh, it's our pleasure, we loveit.
And I'm so excited todaybecause we're going to talk
about aesthetics yes, and thatis what you do and the invasive
(01:10):
procedures, some non-invasiveprocedures, and you know, when I
think about aesthetics, Kelly,it's to me it's so confusing.
There's so much out there, justbasic skin care.
It's like what in the world doyou do?
What do you choose?
So tell us a little bit aboutyourself.
So what got you into this lineof work as a professional?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
so after college I started working for my dad at
performance medicine and I washelping him with the website and
you know, doing things in mydegree like, like you know,
marketing and communicationstuff, and I really took an
interest to all the aestheticsthat was happening around the
(01:53):
office.
He started to do Botox andJuvenerm and then we had
estheticians and they were doinglasering and I just thought it
was really cool and so I startedto go to his A4M conferences
with him and really picked up aninterest and he was going to
kind of fade out aesthetics andI was like no, no, no, no, if I
(02:15):
go get my license to do this,can we keep it on.
He's like yes, absolutely.
So I did and I love it.
It is ever-changing and I feellike it is a big part of
performance medicine, becauseyou want to look how you feel.
Absolutely yeah, and we believein feeling young and I mean, if
you feel young, you've got tolook young.
(02:37):
You know, you can't feel youngand look old.
No, absolutely not Terrible,yeah, so that's what got me into
it, and I meant just thecontinuing education is so
important and I love it.
There are new things coming outevery week.
It seems like I mean, butthere's a lot of fads too, which
(02:58):
a lot of gimmicks you'll see onInstagram.
I mean, I've definitely fallenfor some of them.
You know, this will make youlook completely different you
know?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well, maybe you can share some of those things with
us, so you know we won't wasteour money.
you know our hard spent money ontrying to look good because you
know, I know that.
You know, hey, I loveaesthetics, I love getting Botox
.
I wish I would have startedwhen I was super young, you know
.
But do you have like an agelimit for Botox?
I wish I would have startedwhen I was super young, you know
.
But do you have like an agelimit for Botox, Kelly, as far
(03:28):
as young people coming inwanting Botox, or does it really
matter?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I would say I think I started getting Botox.
I'm 37.
I started getting it around 23.
Okay, just a little bit, just atiny bit, and I think that's a
good age to start, because yourcells start to slow down in your
skin.
They don't regenerate like theydid when you're 21.
(03:55):
Come 25, everything starts toslow down even more.
Come 30, you know after that,it's just you really have to
take matters into your own hands.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Okay, Well, and we're going to talk more about that
because I think that's reallyimportant for women especially
listening and I know a lot ofmen now are interested in the
aesthetics yeah, and it's notjust the injectables.
There's so many things that arenon-invasive, but what's the
basis, kelly, of really we cando all-invasive, but what's the
basis, kelly, of really we cando all these things?
(04:27):
But really what's the basis ofthat taking effect and you
continuing to look good?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I would say the first thing when someone comes in to
see me, if they're around theage of 50s, 60s, I just ask them
immediately what do you doevery day for your skin?
What have you been doing?
Because what you do in your 30sis going to affect your 40s,
what you do in your 40s is goingto affect your 50s, and same
thing with 60s, 70s.
(04:56):
So I ask them their basicskincare routine, what kind of
products they use.
If they've had any newprocedures like Botox or you
know and a lot of them have andthey're still like, well, botox
didn't work.
And I'm like I mean, it's not amagic wand, botox is
preventative, I mean that's whatit is.
(05:17):
So and I don't think peoplerealize that they think Botox
it's like a magic little syringe, it's going to make you look 20
years younger, and it's not.
If you don't have the skinbarrier strong beneath it, then
it's not going to last as longand it's not going to look as
good.
I wouldn't say throwing moneydown the drain, but just skin
(05:43):
care and skin proceduresnon-invasive go hand-in go, hand
in hand with botox and fillers.
You don't want to go get a facefull of fillers and not have a
good skincare routine or not.
I've ever gotten a you knowhydrafacial or that
microneedling is great I mean Idid microneedling um on myself
and then on patients as well,and their botox will last twice
(06:04):
as long.
Okay, because you're buildingup that skin barrier, making
that skin thicker.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
So is it the the microneedling?
Is it cause?
Is it causing like little microinjuries?
Is that helping your body togenerate collagen?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yes.
So, generating collagen.
The radio frequency is lifting,oh so you could do that with
radio frequency.
Yes, so that's kind of the newthing.
It's um we use the virtue RFmachine and it's um.
It's very similar to Morpheus,um, it's a little bit newer,
depending on what type ofmachine you have but it's.
It's pretty much the same thing, Um, but yeah, it's going to
(06:41):
use that technology to createlittle micro injuries to grow
collagen and then lift to theradio frequency Nice.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So does it work on those of us who are older to
continue, you know, doing themicroneedling Kelly?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So we can still generate that collagen 100%.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, that's good to know A hundred percent.
Well, that's good to know.
Yeah, I've had people come inthat are thinking about
facelifts or you know,blepharoplasty, and you know not
all insurance is going to coverthat.
And so people are like, well,what can I do to help lift my
skin?
And I, the first thing I wouldsay I mean microneedling, the
you know with radio frequency.
And then the old therapy isanother favorite of mine, and
(07:22):
that's just straight radiofrequency and it goes all the
way down almost to the bone.
You can see the bone on theultrasound Is that like heat?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yes, so it's like a heat therapy, and is the purpose
of that to stimulate collagenas well?
Yes, okay, so you recommendmaybe some combinations of those
treatments?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yes, if you've got more of like.
I would say, if you've beendoing stuff to your face, you
know being consistent with aroutine and you know you've had
microneedling before, then oldtherapy will just straight up
lift and it also helped texturea little bit.
But the microneedling, thevirtue that I use, is going to
help all of that Okay.
And then if you really wantthat powerful lift, I'd love
(08:07):
doing a lower facial therapywhere it goes right, you know,
mid-nose line to underneath yourchin, right where that little
you know area gets lax.
Yes, turkey neck, yep.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Well, we can say it, you can say it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Kelly, the turkey neck.
The turkey neck Terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
We're getting close to turkey season.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And we don't want those right?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
No, we want to eat those, we want to eat the turkey
we don't want to have that neck.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
We don't want to display it, just eat the turkey
right.
Exactly, exactly so.
But how often should someone,when you put together a
treatment regimen, so a goodskincare line, what is some good
skincare products that we coulduse?
Or maybe that you provide andyou, you know, consult with your
clients to use on a daily basis?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
So our, our office carries skinceuticals, neocutis,
glide tone revision, andthere's another one I'm thinking
of.
Yeah it'll, it'll come to me ina second, but, um, I choose the
(09:15):
best products in my opinion, um,from those I, oh and we use
Obagi as well and Zen, Obagi,Zio, Um, so I pulled different
products from those lines, whatI think are the best.
Um, I don't just like to haveone product line.
Sure, I don't believe, likeObagi has you know, a six step
program which is great for somepeople but not for everybody,
(09:40):
not for a lot of people.
So I try to incorporate everysingle thing that you know
someone could need from eachdifferent line OK, and there's a
big difference in your products, which are medical grade.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yes, they have more of the active ingredients that
our skin needs, right?
Yes, yes, versus me going toWalmart to get some Olavole.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yes, because what Olavole, you know and nothing
against it.
Sure, you know you're usingsomething, that's great, but
they could tell you that thishas this much retinol in it or
hyaluronic acid, um, and itdoesn't have to have barely any
of it in there, and you don'tknow where it's coming from.
I mean, it does not have tomeet those requirements that
(10:28):
medical grade skincare has tomeet.
So you know, when you'regetting medical grade skincare
you're actually getting what itsays you're getting okay, so
you're getting enough of thehyaluronic acid and the retinol
to actually be effective?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yes, so, save your money.
Save your money, yes, and, and,and invest in your medical
grade products.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yes, they last longer .
You don't have to use as much,obviously, um, I mean, they're
more potent, it's all the samething.
It's just you're going to savemoney in the long run.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yes, yes and then on.
So what would be a goodrecommendation as far as someone
doing the microneedling, likeBotox and microneedling Like how
often Is it like a monthlything, or how often do you
recommend that for forindividuals?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
So what I would say if someone came to me, um, you
know 50s, 60s, I would suggest,you know, first getting on a
good skincare out with aprocedure like microneedling,
oral therapy and then doingBotox on top of that.
You can't do Botox first andthen do something like old
(11:48):
therapy or microneedling or evena hydrafacial immediately after
.
You have to wait two weeks forthe Botox to kick in.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, and at that point they're like, well, you
know what?
I already spent money on thisBotox and my face seems to be
looking a little better.
So they're like I don't needthat.
And then they'll come back andthen they'll say, oh, the Botox
didn't work.
So you really want to do thoseskin procedures, in my opinion,
first, and then you want to topit off with the Botox, the
filler and I love filler.
(12:16):
I feel like nowadays, you knowyou can look at somebody and
know they're overfilled and it'sjust yeah, I mean, that is
something that I can see rightaway, and especially around the.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't know what do you call these Kelly?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Nasal ablifolds.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Thank you, so have you seen that where they used to
fill this area here?
To get rid of those littlefrown lines or whatever.
What do we call these lines?
Um, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
But I don't, but anyway it's, it's just
overfilled in that area youdon't want to puff your face up
like a blowfish.
I meant, like you know, that iswhat I want to tell people.
Is you can?
I mean a blowfish looks youngerthan you know, a 65 year old
woman, but does it look better?
No, it looks like a blow fish.
So, you know, I mean stay awayfrom that.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, we don't want to do that, and I'm not downing
filler.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I love filler, right Um.
I have filler on my face.
I think it's great, but youreally you look, look, amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You're absolutely beautiful your skin.
I'm looking at your skin yourskin actually glows.
Thank you it does.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Um, it's gorgeous.
I credit it to well.
Healthy eating.
That's first and foremost, um.
You know vitamins.
You know working out, sweatingout you know, toxins.
But, um, then then comes theskincare and the procedures and
I and I think me personally Ilike to do, um, microneedling on
(13:44):
myself every, every, like sixmonths.
So I'm 37.
Um, and I started out with thevirtue at the radio frequency
microneedling three in a row,like three, and you want to keep
those like a month apart.
The radiofrequencymicroneedling three in a row,
like three, and you want to keepthose like a month apart.
I will sprinkle in like alittle Botox, maybe like a month
after my last microneedling,and then six months later,
(14:08):
that's when really everythingkind of like settles.
You're like, okay, well, nowyou can see what you need to
tweak.
From there you can do a littlebit of old therapy forehead lift
.
That's really nice.
You want to continue to buildcollagen as you're getting those
Botox and fillers.
Because if you just get Botoxand don't do anything else,
you're going to freeze thosemuscles and I mean it's not
(14:30):
really been studied by how thosemuscles are going to react
later on.
You know they could atrophy,you could have a heavy forehead.
You don't want that.
Um, you want to continue tobuild collagen.
And my brother that does theBotox, andy, he, um, he preaches
that, uh, he wow.
You know cause, like he's, likea lot of people, their brow,
like they'll have so much Botoxin their forehead that it sinks
(14:54):
lower than their brow bone.
Like their eyebrows will belower.
And it's just like you cannot dothat.
It's just not good for you.
You've got to space things out.
You've got to really, you know,get with the professional Right
, like myself.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And you know, Call Kelly.
I mean because that is so good,Kelly?
Because you don't hear thosethings, Because a lot of people
say, oh, I'm just going to getBotox and, like you said,
they're just doing that, butthey're not doing anything else
no, and you'll go to a place anda lot of places.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
They'll just fill you right up and, just you know,
send you out the door and it'slike you need more than that you
know.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
One thing I love about what you all do at
Performance Medicine is it'struly a holistic approach.
Yes, and I started coming thereI guess maybe two years now,
and the vitamins, the hormonesactually did the cardiac
Cleveland panel.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Oh, that is a great panel.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So I'm going to see your dad the end of November to
have it all my results.
So and I think you mentioned itearlier about your lifestyle,
because that is so important, Imean it's you know, how do we
eat?
Do we drink water?
Are we hydrating Exactly andexercise?
(16:09):
It's not just to look good, butalso it's all encompassing of
our health and our whole bodyright, yes, I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Another example I'll have someone come to me and you
know I've done everything onthem and they'll get Botox.
There's still smoke in a packof cigs a day, okay, and not
working out and eating, terrible, and it's, you know, like okay,
that's why it's not working,that's right.
I wouldn't say I don't like theterm not working, or is this
(16:42):
going to work?
I mean it's going to help, it'sgoing to enhance.
Nothing's going to justmagically make your face look
like it's no silver bullet.
No, no, there is no.
I mean plastic surgery.
Yeah, I mean that is a fix.
You know, if you're and I canlook at somebody and say, hey, a
fix.
You know, if you're and I canlook at somebody and say, hey,
what I can do probably won'thave the results that you're
going to want or maybe reallyneed Exactly.
(17:03):
Um, I mean, if you have, ifsomeone comes to me with kind of
a turkey neck, you know there'sonly a certain point that I can
help fix it.
Um, and you know themicroneedling is great for that
old therapy.
Um, um, and you know themicroneedling is great for that
old therapy.
Um, kybella is great for ifyou've got like a fat pocket
under your chin Um, but if thereis just so much laxity and
(17:25):
there's no collagen, you knownothing.
It's just hanging there Really.
The only way to fix that issurgery Is as a surgical.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
And so, uh, what are some other things that you can
do besides facial?
And so, what are some otherthings that you can do besides
facial?
I know you've got some cool newmachines in to help with.
Yes, you know, some of us havea little muffin top.
Oh yes, Sometimes your littlemuffin top, no matter how well
you eat or how much you exercisethat it's still there.
(17:53):
So what do we do about that?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Kelly, well, that is one of my favorite machines that
we have.
So we have the Physique bodycontouring machine and we also
have the Evolve.
They do the same thing.
One is a laser and one isradiofrequency.
Okay, I like them both.
If you've got a lot of like fatthat you want want to get
(18:17):
dissolved first and you don'twant to do surgery, a lot of
people don't want to.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
And a lot of people don't need to.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Right.
They just can't get thatstubborn fat off.
Six sessions of physique willdo the trick.
If you are eating right and Imean you're doing your part.
You don't want to come get aphysique treatment for me and
then go straight to pals and gohome and drink 20 beers.
(18:42):
I mean you know you're going towant to do it.
It helps though, because it itjust encourages you.
As you're eating right anddoing all those things, you see
that fat melt off and it alsotightens your skin as well.
I got I lost like four inchesjust by doing the physique and
(19:02):
the evolve, and I'm not, I'm ahealthy person, I, you know,
work out and all that.
So a candidate like that thatmaybe you know you could, you
know you fluctuate and just thatstubborn area, like you said,
you can't get off it is a greattool for that.
It doesn't hurt, it feels,feels good.
Actually it's like a hot stonemassage, very different from
(19:22):
CoolSculpt, but it's, it'samazing results.
I mean you want to do sixtreatments about a week to two
weeks apart, and the results Iwould say.
I mean mean I've got someoneright now that I've done six
treatments on her stomach andshe was, you know, a surgery
(19:43):
candidate and she's like I'm notgetting surgery, she is, she
looks absolutely amazing, she'sstunned by what she's seen, but
she's, you know, also, she'sdoing right, she's eating right,
she works out, but she did thatbefore and it just wasn't going
anywhere, I mean Absolutely.
So it was like that extra skin,you know, just that extra fat
pocket that just won't budge.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
And it just kind of melted away.
Yes, when you're doing atreatment, is it just how much
of the abdomen can you cover forthat treatment?
Is it just one small section?
We?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
have four pretty decent-sized paddles, it'll
cover the entire stomach and Iwould say for smaller candidates
it could cover that and maybeput two paddles on your arms,
two paddles on your thighs, okay, and kind of do a treatment in
conjunction with each other.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'm coming to see you Please do.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
It is amazing.
And I have the TV on for you.
We can watch Real Housewives.
You know gossip, I mean it's agood time, yeah, so just melting
the fat off We've also got.
So it uses EMS technology too.
So, so just melting the fat off.
We've also got.
So it uses EMS technology too.
So it's got the musclestimulation.
So, it's great for women whohave had kids that want to
rebuild that abdomen, muscleback together.
(20:59):
It is amazing for that.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That is great.
And I mean I had a girlfriendwho she had a tummy tuck back
early spring and I mean it waspretty intense and she's, she's
tough, she's.
She had a breast augmentationbefore and she said that was a
piece of cake.
But she said this.
(21:24):
If I would have known howpainful it was she said I would
not have done this.
That's what a lot of people saypainful it was.
She said I would not have donethis.
That's what a lot of people say.
And I had no idea, because shehad to sleep in a recliner for
two weeks because she, you know,you can't you can't straighten
up, you're you're kind offorward a little bit and she's
still having to wear the, thegarment, the undergarment.
(21:47):
But, um, I said so when willeverything kind of be healed?
And she said, well, it takesabout a year.
Yeah, that's a long time.
That scar is not small, no, andI'm thinking why not do this?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah, Do this Non-invasive first.
Yes, I'm at 100% and I'll tellyou, I'm very honest.
If you need surgery, I'm goingto say there is nothing.
I mean, there's something Icould do, but I mean.
It's not going to give youthe'm like, wow, this is crazy
(22:29):
what this machine can do.
I mean, you know you have to beconsistent with it.
You know you don't want to comeone time and then come back two
months later, right.
So you're saying like sixtreatments, like two weeks apart
A week, a week apart preferably, but you know some people can't
make it every single week.
So I mean you know, two weeksis fine, but you do want to keep
(22:51):
those you know, or else you'regoing to get discouraged and
wonder why you spent the moneyRight.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Because it's not a cheap.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
It's a lot cheaper than getting you know a tummy
tuck.
Oh yeah, I mean yeah, not evencomparable, but you do.
You know it's important,especially times like now.
You want to get what you payfor.
So that's going to be stackingthose every single week and just
being consistent with it.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
So after you go through that and let's say you
do the treatments and so isthere, would you recommend say
maybe a maintenance every sooften?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Just to kind of keep it yes, if you go out and eat
that, pals, or?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Or you go on a cruise , or you go, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yes, go eat that ice cream 100%.
Brownies and ice cream.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I myself am one to do maintenance treatments as well.
I would say, like every monthor two you could come in for one
.
I mean I've got people thatcome in like once every three
months just to you know, keepthat fat burning, because you
are burning those fat cellspermanently, but you're going to
get new fat cells if you gainweight.
I mean, you know, if you dothat like oh, look great, and
(24:03):
you get excited, eat a lot, andthen well, what's?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
this, then they just come back.
Yes, that what's this.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Then they just come back.
Yes, that stinks, yes, butthat's with any kind of thing
you do, unless you, you know,get your stomach tied, okay, I
mean Exactly.
I mean people eat, so peoplegain weight.
It fluctuates.
So I think a maintenancetreatment is great too.
And when we sell itindividually.
But at first we do sixtreatments, okay, to really keep
it consistent, six treatmentsto really keep it consistent.
(24:33):
And then, um, and results arelike three months after that.
So we tell them to come back,like three months follow up.
Um, and for the people thatneed to, you know, cut a little
bit more.
They could do 12 treatments ina row.
There's no like wrong way to doit but you don't want to come in
, like I said, and then comeback a month later and think I
think I'll just maybe do my nextone.
You know, it's just not goingto work.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
You have to be consistent just like anything
that works right, we've got tobe consistent, just like with
our health.
We have to be consistent in ourexercise.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yes, you don't go to the gym once and then you come
back two months later and you'rein the same shape you were.
I mean, you're going to get outof shape, you, you're going to
get out of shape you are.
So I mean it's, it's a greatprocedure, um, if done right.
I tell people this you know,just keep consistent with it.
And then, um, we've got lotionsthat come with it that are
(25:24):
amazing.
Um, we also have a lotion byrevision and it helps melt fat
too, and it really does.
I mean, I've used it.
I'm very skeptical abouteverything, because you see a
million things on Instagramevery day.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Oh yeah, that's why I said it's so confusing, because
you see so many things outthere and the advertising makes
it so enticing.
Yes, they're doing a great job.
That's what marketing is about,right?
Amazing job, yes.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I mean I myself, literally, and I do this for a
living I've bought stuff and I'mlike, oh, wow.
And then I'm like, wow, this iswhy I do what I do, because
those things don't work in thelong run.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They don't work.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
That's right, that's right, I mean your eyes could be
lifted for one second with thecrazy awesome eye cream.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, you put it under the eye and it
shows.
Yeah, I've seen that before.
Well, it does look good it.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Looks good for about I mean, 10 minutes.
I mean I've had people come tome with terrible reactions from
that.
But I mean if it works for youknow, one out of 100 million
people like that's great, butdon't expect for that to change
your looks whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Absolutely so on this treatment.
So when they call in, whatshould they ask for?
Kelly want to do the thefocused treatment around the
abdomen to help melt the fat.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
So um I normally I like to have a consultation
beforehand so I will book themfor a consultation, um, and then
we'll assess.
You know how many treatments Ithink that they would need um,
when they can start, when theycan get on that schedule and be
there, you know, every week forsix weeks, um, and it takes
about like 45 minutes um, soit's not bad, no no, and it does
(26:58):
not hurt, like I said, um, it's, everything I do is fairly
painless.
I mean, all therapy is notpainless, okay, but it's worth
it.
I mean, microneedling is alittle itchy, but um right, you
know, but the body contouring it, it has blown my mind.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
It feels good actually, that's awesome well
and like it's probably it'spainless the things that you
mentioned versus you know allthe botox and the fillers.
Sometimes that can be prettypainful.
Yes, depending on where you'rehaving the injections.
So do you like to have aconsult with everybody the first
time you see someone,regardless of what they want?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yes, Okay, 100%.
And I ask them what comes totheir face and neck and
decollete?
What is your skin regimen, evenfor your body?
I mean, I've done lasering onthe body before, um, for dark
spots.
I mean, the chest is a huge onethat you know, people just yes,
get a lot of sun on includingmyself, legs, I mean you can
(28:01):
pretty much do anything that Ihave for your face, on your body
so um, even like the um.
There's a thing called theultimate duo.
So with the physique you canalso do body microneedling for
cellulite helps break like scartissue up, okay.
Um, so if someone just has likea lot of, like you know, just
(28:21):
cellulite, sure tissue, um, ithelps break that up.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
So you can I kind of stack those in between the
physique treatments, and I thinksometimes, as women, we're just
more predisposed to higher fatcontent.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Absolutely.
Versus men, absolutely.
And if someone's not, you know,responding great to the
treatments, I ask them ifthey've had their hormones
checked, because that's huge.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I was going to ask you about hormones.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Kelly, that plays a role in everything.
If something is not workinglike it should your hormones are
off.
I mean because your body isacting way older than it should
be If you don't have yourhormones.
You know, like my dad tells me,if your hormones are gone, your
body is preparing to die.
That's just how you know.
Because after a woman givesbirth and you know she goes into
(29:12):
menopause and all that, um, Imean it's like what is that?
All it's like?
Are you just supposed to feelterrible?
right and a lot of people werelike yeah, well, this is my time
, I guess, just to feel terrible.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
and then, oh, we've got a whole generation of women
that's had a disservice becausethey were told that's just the
way it is.
You're older, you're going togain some weight, feel bad, no
energy man.
That is just so wrong.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, Well, I mean the hormones.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I highly recommend them.
It's made a huge difference.
The vitamins too.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
The vitamins yes.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I love the vitamins.
I take all of them.
I love methylene blue.
I started that.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
That is amazing.
Your energy levels, yes, minusthe blue tongue for about 10
minutes.
I think it's the best thingever.
I mean, even the blue tongue, Idon't care, it prevents you
from all sorts of diseases too.
I mean like I mean it's youknow.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's like taking ivermectin.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Uh-huh, I take that too, I you know, come like flu
season you know, put ivermectinin.
You take orally twice a weekand you're good.
Yes, absolutely, and it's overthe counter now.
That's great.
Yeah, that is great.
Yeah, a lot of people don'tknow that.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Well, kelly, this has been fantastic, I mean, I think
it's just, I'd like to have youback so that we can kind of
dive in a little bit more withsome of these treatments,
because I think it's, I think itwould be a good opportunity to
provide some education.
Like yes what do we need to know, as as a client, on what we
(30:44):
need to choose?
As far to look better I reallylove what you said about the
Botox.
Far to look better I reallylove what you said about the
Botox.
I think that if you don't dothe other things, you're just
freezing muscle and it's justnot going to work.
You're just throwing money in asyringe.
You're throwing money in asyringe.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
That's right.
And not think it's bad, butyou're just not going to get
what you want.
Speaker 2 (31:03):

Well, hello everybody.
We're back with anotherfantastic episode of Benchmark
Happenings, and today we haveKelly Rogers with Performance
Medicine.
So, Kelly, thank you for beinghere today.
Awesome, Thank you for havingme.
Oh, it's our pleasure, we loveit.
And I'm so excited todaybecause we're going to talk
about aesthetics yes, and thatis what you do and the invasive
(01:10):
procedures, some non-invasiveprocedures, and you know, when I
think about aesthetics, Kelly,it's to me it's so confusing.
There's so much out there, justbasic skin care.
It's like what in the world doyou do?
What do you choose?
So tell us a little bit aboutyourself.
So what got you into this lineof work as a professional?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
so after college I started working for my dad at
performance medicine and I washelping him with the website and
you know, doing things in mydegree like, like you know,
marketing and communicationstuff, and I really took an
interest to all the aestheticsthat was happening around the
(01:53):
office.
He started to do Botox andJuvenerm and then we had
estheticians and they were doinglasering and I just thought it
was really cool and so I startedto go to his A4M conferences
with him and really picked up aninterest and he was going to
kind of fade out aesthetics andI was like no, no, no, no, if I
(02:15):
go get my license to do this,can we keep it on.
He's like yes, absolutely.
So I did and I love it.
It is ever-changing and I feellike it is a big part of
performance medicine, becauseyou want to look how you feel.
Absolutely yeah, and we believein feeling young and I mean, if
you feel young, you've got tolook young.
(02:37):
You know, you can't feel youngand look old.
No, absolutely not Terrible,yeah, so that's what got me into
it, and I meant just thecontinuing education is so
important and I love it.
There are new things coming outevery week.
It seems like I mean, butthere's a lot of fads too, which
(02:58):
a lot of gimmicks you'll see onInstagram.
I mean, I've definitely fallenfor some of them.
You know, this will make youlook completely different you
know?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well, maybe you can share some of those things with
us, so you know we won't wasteour money.
you know our hard spent money ontrying to look good because you
know, I know that.
You know, hey, I loveaesthetics, I love getting Botox
.
I wish I would have startedwhen I was super young, you know
.
But do you have like an agelimit for Botox?
I wish I would have startedwhen I was super young, you know
.
But do you have like an agelimit for Botox, Kelly, as far
(03:28):
as young people coming inwanting Botox, or does it really
matter?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I would say I think I started getting Botox.
I'm 37.
I started getting it around 23.
Okay, just a little bit, just atiny bit, and I think that's a
good age to start, because yourcells start to slow down in your
skin.
They don't regenerate like theydid when you're 21.
(03:55):
Come 25, everything starts toslow down even more.
Come 30, you know after that,it's just you really have to
take matters into your own hands.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Okay, Well, and we're going to talk more about that
because I think that's reallyimportant for women especially
listening and I know a lot ofmen now are interested in the
aesthetics yeah, and it's notjust the injectables.
There's so many things that arenon-invasive, but what's the
basis, kelly, of really we cando all-invasive, but what's the
basis, kelly, of really we cando all these things?
(04:27):
But really what's the basis ofthat taking effect and you
continuing to look good?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I would say the first thing when someone comes in to
see me, if they're around theage of 50s, 60s, I just ask them
immediately what do you doevery day for your skin?
What have you been doing?
Because what you do in your 30sis going to affect your 40s,
what you do in your 40s is goingto affect your 50s, and same
thing with 60s, 70s.
(04:56):
So I ask them their basicskincare routine, what kind of
products they use.
If they've had any newprocedures like Botox or you
know and a lot of them have andthey're still like, well, botox
didn't work.
And I'm like I mean, it's not amagic wand, botox is
preventative, I mean that's whatit is.
(05:17):
So and I don't think peoplerealize that they think Botox
it's like a magic little syringe, it's going to make you look 20
years younger, and it's not.
If you don't have the skinbarrier strong beneath it, then
it's not going to last as longand it's not going to look as
good.
I wouldn't say throwing moneydown the drain, but just skin
(05:43):
care and skin proceduresnon-invasive go hand-in go, hand
in hand with botox and fillers.
You don't want to go get a facefull of fillers and not have a
good skincare routine or not.
I've ever gotten a you knowhydrafacial or that
microneedling is great I mean Idid microneedling um on myself
and then on patients as well,and their botox will last twice
(06:04):
as long.
Okay, because you're buildingup that skin barrier, making
that skin thicker.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
So is it the the microneedling?
Is it cause?
Is it causing like little microinjuries?
Is that helping your body togenerate collagen?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yes.
So, generating collagen.
The radio frequency is lifting,oh so you could do that with
radio frequency.
Yes, so that's kind of the newthing.
It's um we use the virtue RFmachine and it's um.
It's very similar to Morpheus,um, it's a little bit newer,
depending on what type ofmachine you have but it's.
It's pretty much the same thing, Um, but yeah, it's going to
(06:41):
use that technology to createlittle micro injuries to grow
collagen and then lift to theradio frequency Nice.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So does it work on those of us who are older to
continue, you know, doing themicroneedling Kelly?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So we can still generate that collagen 100%.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, that's good to know A hundred percent.
Well, that's good to know.
Yeah, I've had people come inthat are thinking about
facelifts or you know,blepharoplasty, and you know not
all insurance is going to coverthat.
And so people are like, well,what can I do to help lift my
skin?
And I, the first thing I wouldsay I mean microneedling, the
you know with radio frequency.
And then the old therapy isanother favorite of mine, and
(07:22):
that's just straight radiofrequency and it goes all the
way down almost to the bone.
You can see the bone on theultrasound Is that like heat?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yes, so it's like a heat therapy, and is the purpose
of that to stimulate collagenas well?
Yes, okay, so you recommendmaybe some combinations of those
treatments?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yes, if you've got more of like.
I would say, if you've beendoing stuff to your face, you
know being consistent with aroutine and you know you've had
microneedling before, then oldtherapy will just straight up
lift and it also helped texturea little bit.
But the microneedling, thevirtue that I use, is going to
help all of that Okay.
And then if you really wantthat powerful lift, I'd love
(08:07):
doing a lower facial therapywhere it goes right, you know,
mid-nose line to underneath yourchin, right where that little
you know area gets lax.
Yes, turkey neck, yep.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Well, we can say it, you can say it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Kelly, the turkey neck.
The turkey neck Terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
We're getting close to turkey season.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And we don't want those right?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
No, we want to eat those, we want to eat the turkey
we don't want to have that neck.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
We don't want to display it, just eat the turkey
right.
Exactly, exactly so.
But how often should someone,when you put together a
treatment regimen, so a goodskincare line, what is some good
skincare products that we coulduse?
Or maybe that you provide andyou, you know, consult with your
clients to use on a daily basis?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
So our, our office carries skinceuticals, neocutis,
glide tone revision, andthere's another one I'm thinking
of.
Yeah it'll, it'll come to me ina second, but, um, I choose the
(09:15):
best products in my opinion, um,from those I, oh and we use
Obagi as well and Zen, Obagi,Zio, Um, so I pulled different
products from those lines, whatI think are the best.
Um, I don't just like to haveone product line.
Sure, I don't believe, likeObagi has you know, a six step
program which is great for somepeople but not for everybody,
(09:40):
not for a lot of people.
So I try to incorporate everysingle thing that you know
someone could need from eachdifferent line OK, and there's a
big difference in your products, which are medical grade.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yes, they have more of the active ingredients that
our skin needs, right?
Yes, yes, versus me going toWalmart to get some Olavole.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yes, because what Olavole, you know and nothing
against it.
Sure, you know you're usingsomething, that's great, but
they could tell you that thishas this much retinol in it or
hyaluronic acid, um, and itdoesn't have to have barely any
of it in there, and you don'tknow where it's coming from.
I mean, it does not have tomeet those requirements that
(10:28):
medical grade skincare has tomeet.
So you know, when you'regetting medical grade skincare
you're actually getting what itsays you're getting okay, so
you're getting enough of thehyaluronic acid and the retinol
to actually be effective?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yes, so, save your money.
Save your money, yes, and, and,and invest in your medical
grade products.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yes, they last longer .
You don't have to use as much,obviously, um, I mean, they're
more potent, it's all the samething.
It's just you're going to savemoney in the long run.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yes, yes and then on.
So what would be a goodrecommendation as far as someone
doing the microneedling, likeBotox and microneedling Like how
often Is it like a monthlything, or how often do you
recommend that for forindividuals?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
So what I would say if someone came to me, um, you
know 50s, 60s, I would suggest,you know, first getting on a
good skincare out with aprocedure like microneedling,
oral therapy and then doingBotox on top of that.
You can't do Botox first andthen do something like old
(11:48):
therapy or microneedling or evena hydrafacial immediately after
.
You have to wait two weeks forthe Botox to kick in.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, and at that point they're like, well, you
know what?
I already spent money on thisBotox and my face seems to be
looking a little better.
So they're like I don't needthat.
And then they'll come back andthen they'll say, oh, the Botox
didn't work.
So you really want to do thoseskin procedures, in my opinion,
first, and then you want to topit off with the Botox, the
filler and I love filler.
(12:16):
I feel like nowadays, you knowyou can look at somebody and
know they're overfilled and it'sjust yeah, I mean, that is
something that I can see rightaway, and especially around the.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't know what do you call these Kelly?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Nasal ablifolds.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Thank you, so have you seen that where they used to
fill this area here?
To get rid of those littlefrown lines or whatever.
What do we call these lines?
Um, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
But I don't, but anyway it's, it's just
overfilled in that area youdon't want to puff your face up
like a blowfish.
I meant, like you know, that iswhat I want to tell people.
Is you can?
I mean a blowfish looks youngerthan you know, a 65 year old
woman, but does it look better?
No, it looks like a blow fish.
So, you know, I mean stay awayfrom that.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, we don't want to do that, and I'm not downing
filler.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I love filler, right Um.
I have filler on my face.
I think it's great, but youreally you look, look, amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You're absolutely beautiful your skin.
I'm looking at your skin yourskin actually glows.
Thank you it does.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Um, it's gorgeous.
I credit it to well.
Healthy eating.
That's first and foremost, um.
You know vitamins.
You know working out, sweatingout you know, toxins.
But, um, then then comes theskincare and the procedures and
I and I think me personally Ilike to do, um, microneedling on
(13:44):
myself every, every, like sixmonths.
So I'm 37.
Um, and I started out with thevirtue at the radio frequency
microneedling three in a row,like three, and you want to keep
those like a month apart.
The radiofrequencymicroneedling three in a row,
like three, and you want to keepthose like a month apart.
I will sprinkle in like alittle Botox, maybe like a month
after my last microneedling,and then six months later,
(14:08):
that's when really everythingkind of like settles.
You're like, okay, well, nowyou can see what you need to
tweak.
From there you can do a littlebit of old therapy forehead lift
.
That's really nice.
You want to continue to buildcollagen as you're getting those
Botox and fillers.
Because if you just get Botoxand don't do anything else,
you're going to freeze thosemuscles and I mean it's not
(14:30):
really been studied by how thosemuscles are going to react
later on.
You know they could atrophy,you could have a heavy forehead.
You don't want that.
Um, you want to continue tobuild collagen.
And my brother that does theBotox, andy, he, um, he preaches
that, uh, he wow.
You know cause, like he's, likea lot of people, their brow,
like they'll have so much Botoxin their forehead that it sinks
(14:54):
lower than their brow bone.
Like their eyebrows will belower.
And it's just like you cannot dothat.
It's just not good for you.
You've got to space things out.
You've got to really, you know,get with the professional Right
, like myself.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And you know, Call Kelly.
I mean because that is so good,Kelly?
Because you don't hear thosethings, Because a lot of people
say, oh, I'm just going to getBotox and, like you said,
they're just doing that, butthey're not doing anything else
no, and you'll go to a place anda lot of places.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
They'll just fill you right up and, just you know,
send you out the door and it'slike you need more than that you
know.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
One thing I love about what you all do at
Performance Medicine is it'struly a holistic approach.
Yes, and I started coming thereI guess maybe two years now,
and the vitamins, the hormonesactually did the cardiac
Cleveland panel.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Oh, that is a great panel.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So I'm going to see your dad the end of November to
have it all my results.
So and I think you mentioned itearlier about your lifestyle,
because that is so important, Imean it's you know, how do we
eat?
Do we drink water?
Are we hydrating Exactly andexercise?
(16:09):
It's not just to look good, butalso it's all encompassing of
our health and our whole bodyright, yes, I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Another example I'll have someone come to me and you
know I've done everything onthem and they'll get Botox.
There's still smoke in a packof cigs a day, okay, and not
working out and eating, terrible, and it's, you know, like okay,
that's why it's not working,that's right.
I wouldn't say I don't like theterm not working, or is this
(16:42):
going to work?
I mean it's going to help, it'sgoing to enhance.
Nothing's going to justmagically make your face look
like it's no silver bullet.
No, no, there is no.
I mean plastic surgery.
Yeah, I mean that is a fix.
You know, if you're and I canlook at somebody and say, hey, a
fix.
You know, if you're and I canlook at somebody and say, hey,
what I can do probably won'thave the results that you're
going to want or maybe reallyneed Exactly.
(17:03):
Um, I mean, if you have, ifsomeone comes to me with kind of
a turkey neck, you know there'sonly a certain point that I can
help fix it.
Um, and you know themicroneedling is great for that
old therapy.
Um, um, and you know themicroneedling is great for that
old therapy.
Um, kybella is great for ifyou've got like a fat pocket
under your chin Um, but if thereis just so much laxity and
(17:25):
there's no collagen, you knownothing.
It's just hanging there Really.
The only way to fix that issurgery Is as a surgical.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
And so, uh, what are some other things that you can
do besides facial?
And so, what are some otherthings that you can do besides
facial?
I know you've got some cool newmachines in to help with.
Yes, you know, some of us havea little muffin top.
Oh yes, Sometimes your littlemuffin top, no matter how well
you eat or how much you exercisethat it's still there.
(17:53):
So what do we do about that?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Kelly, well, that is one of my favorite machines that
we have.
So we have the Physique bodycontouring machine and we also
have the Evolve.
They do the same thing.
One is a laser and one isradiofrequency.
Okay, I like them both.
If you've got a lot of like fatthat you want want to get
(18:17):
dissolved first and you don'twant to do surgery, a lot of
people don't want to.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
And a lot of people don't need to.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Right.
They just can't get thatstubborn fat off.
Six sessions of physique willdo the trick.
If you are eating right and Imean you're doing your part.
You don't want to come get aphysique treatment for me and
then go straight to pals and gohome and drink 20 beers.
(18:42):
I mean you know you're going towant to do it.
It helps though, because it itjust encourages you.
As you're eating right anddoing all those things, you see
that fat melt off and it alsotightens your skin as well.
I got I lost like four inchesjust by doing the physique and
(19:02):
the evolve, and I'm not, I'm ahealthy person, I, you know,
work out and all that.
So a candidate like that thatmaybe you know you could, you
know you fluctuate and just thatstubborn area, like you said,
you can't get off it is a greattool for that.
It doesn't hurt, it feels,feels good.
Actually it's like a hot stonemassage, very different from
(19:22):
CoolSculpt, but it's, it'samazing results.
I mean you want to do sixtreatments about a week to two
weeks apart, and the results Iwould say.
I mean mean I've got someoneright now that I've done six
treatments on her stomach andshe was, you know, a surgery
(19:43):
candidate and she's like I'm notgetting surgery, she is, she
looks absolutely amazing, she'sstunned by what she's seen, but
she's, you know, also, she'sdoing right, she's eating right,
she works out, but she did thatbefore and it just wasn't going
anywhere, I mean Absolutely.
So it was like that extra skin,you know, just that extra fat
pocket that just won't budge.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
And it just kind of melted away.
Yes, when you're doing atreatment, is it just how much
of the abdomen can you cover forthat treatment?
Is it just one small section?
We?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
have four pretty decent-sized paddles, it'll
cover the entire stomach and Iwould say for smaller candidates
it could cover that and maybeput two paddles on your arms,
two paddles on your thighs, okay, and kind of do a treatment in
conjunction with each other.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'm coming to see you Please do.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
It is amazing.
And I have the TV on for you.
We can watch Real Housewives.
You know gossip, I mean it's agood time, yeah, so just melting
the fat off We've also got.
So it uses EMS technology too.
So, so just melting the fat off.
We've also got.
So it uses EMS technology too.
So it's got the musclestimulation.
So, it's great for women whohave had kids that want to
rebuild that abdomen, muscleback together.
(20:59):
It is amazing for that.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That is great.
And I mean I had a girlfriendwho she had a tummy tuck back
early spring and I mean it waspretty intense and she's, she's
tough, she's.
She had a breast augmentationbefore and she said that was a
piece of cake.
But she said this.
(21:24):
If I would have known howpainful it was she said I would
not have done this.
That's what a lot of people saypainful it was.
She said I would not have donethis.
That's what a lot of people say.
And I had no idea, because shehad to sleep in a recliner for
two weeks because she, you know,you can't you can't straighten
up, you're you're kind offorward a little bit and she's
still having to wear the, thegarment, the undergarment.
(21:47):
But, um, I said so when willeverything kind of be healed?
And she said, well, it takesabout a year.
Yeah, that's a long time.
That scar is not small, no, andI'm thinking why not do this?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah, Do this Non-invasive first.
Yes, I'm at 100% and I'll tellyou, I'm very honest.
If you need surgery, I'm goingto say there is nothing.
I mean, there's something Icould do, but I mean.
It's not going to give youthe'm like, wow, this is crazy
(22:29):
what this machine can do.
I mean, you know you have to beconsistent with it.
You know you don't want to comeone time and then come back two
months later, right.
So you're saying like sixtreatments, like two weeks apart
A week, a week apart preferably, but you know some people can't
make it every single week.
So I mean you know, two weeksis fine, but you do want to keep
(22:51):
those you know, or else you'regoing to get discouraged and
wonder why you spent the moneyRight.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Because it's not a cheap.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
It's a lot cheaper than getting you know a tummy
tuck.
Oh yeah, I mean yeah, not evencomparable, but you do.
You know it's important,especially times like now.
You want to get what you payfor.
So that's going to be stackingthose every single week and just
being consistent with it.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
So after you go through that and let's say you
do the treatments and so isthere, would you recommend say
maybe a maintenance every sooften?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Just to kind of keep it yes, if you go out and eat
that, pals, or?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Or you go on a cruise , or you go, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yes, go eat that ice cream 100%.
Brownies and ice cream.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I myself am one to do maintenance treatments as well.
I would say, like every monthor two you could come in for one
.
I mean I've got people thatcome in like once every three
months just to you know, keepthat fat burning, because you
are burning those fat cellspermanently, but you're going to
get new fat cells if you gainweight.
I mean, you know, if you dothat like oh, look great, and
(24:03):
you get excited, eat a lot, andthen well, what's?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
this, then they just come back.
Yes, that what's this.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Then they just come back.
Yes, that stinks, yes, butthat's with any kind of thing
you do, unless you, you know,get your stomach tied, okay, I
mean Exactly.
I mean people eat, so peoplegain weight.
It fluctuates.
So I think a maintenancetreatment is great too.
And when we sell itindividually.
But at first we do sixtreatments, okay, to really keep
it consistent, six treatmentsto really keep it consistent.
(24:33):
And then, um, and results arelike three months after that.
So we tell them to come back,like three months follow up.
Um, and for the people thatneed to, you know, cut a little
bit more.
They could do 12 treatments ina row.
There's no like wrong way to doit but you don't want to come in
, like I said, and then comeback a month later and think I
think I'll just maybe do my nextone.
You know, it's just not goingto work.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
You have to be consistent just like anything
that works right, we've got tobe consistent, just like with
our health.
We have to be consistent in ourexercise.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yes, you don't go to the gym once and then you come
back two months later and you'rein the same shape you were.
I mean, you're going to get outof shape, you, you're going to
get out of shape you are.
So I mean it's, it's a greatprocedure, um, if done right.
I tell people this you know,just keep consistent with it.
And then, um, we've got lotionsthat come with it that are
(25:24):
amazing.
Um, we also have a lotion byrevision and it helps melt fat
too, and it really does.
I mean, I've used it.
I'm very skeptical abouteverything, because you see a
million things on Instagramevery day.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Oh yeah, that's why I said it's so confusing, because
you see so many things outthere and the advertising makes
it so enticing.
Yes, they're doing a great job.
That's what marketing is about,right?
Amazing job, yes.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I mean I myself, literally, and I do this for a
living I've bought stuff and I'mlike, oh, wow.
And then I'm like, wow, this iswhy I do what I do, because
those things don't work in thelong run.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They don't work.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
That's right, that's right, I mean your eyes could be
lifted for one second with thecrazy awesome eye cream.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, you put it under the eye and it
shows.
Yeah, I've seen that before.
Well, it does look good it.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Looks good for about I mean, 10 minutes.
I mean I've had people come tome with terrible reactions from
that.
But I mean if it works for youknow, one out of 100 million
people like that's great, butdon't expect for that to change
your looks whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Absolutely so on this treatment.
So when they call in, whatshould they ask for?
Kelly want to do the thefocused treatment around the
abdomen to help melt the fat.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
So um I normally I like to have a consultation
beforehand so I will book themfor a consultation, um, and then
we'll assess.
You know how many treatments Ithink that they would need um,
when they can start, when theycan get on that schedule and be
there, you know, every week forsix weeks, um, and it takes
about like 45 minutes um, soit's not bad, no no, and it does
(26:58):
not hurt, like I said, um, it's, everything I do is fairly
painless.
I mean, all therapy is notpainless, okay, but it's worth
it.
I mean, microneedling is alittle itchy, but um right, you
know, but the body contouring it, it has blown my mind.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
It feels good actually, that's awesome well
and like it's probably it'spainless the things that you
mentioned versus you know allthe botox and the fillers.
Sometimes that can be prettypainful.
Yes, depending on where you'rehaving the injections.
So do you like to have aconsult with everybody the first
time you see someone,regardless of what they want?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yes, Okay, 100%.
And I ask them what comes totheir face and neck and
decollete?
What is your skin regimen, evenfor your body?
I mean, I've done lasering onthe body before, um, for dark
spots.
I mean, the chest is a huge onethat you know, people just yes,
get a lot of sun on includingmyself, legs, I mean you can
(28:01):
pretty much do anything that Ihave for your face, on your body
so um, even like the um.
There's a thing called theultimate duo.
So with the physique you canalso do body microneedling for
cellulite helps break like scartissue up, okay.
Um, so if someone just has likea lot of, like you know, just
(28:21):
cellulite, sure tissue, um, ithelps break that up.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
So you can I kind of stack those in between the
physique treatments, and I thinksometimes, as women, we're just
more predisposed to higher fatcontent.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Absolutely.
Versus men, absolutely.
And if someone's not, you know,responding great to the
treatments, I ask them ifthey've had their hormones
checked, because that's huge.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I was going to ask you about hormones.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Kelly, that plays a role in everything.
If something is not workinglike it should your hormones are
off.
I mean because your body isacting way older than it should
be If you don't have yourhormones.
You know, like my dad tells me,if your hormones are gone, your
body is preparing to die.
That's just how you know.
Because after a woman givesbirth and you know she goes into
(29:12):
menopause and all that, um, Imean it's like what is that?
All it's like?
Are you just supposed to feelterrible?
right and a lot of people werelike yeah, well, this is my time
, I guess, just to feel terrible.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
and then, oh, we've got a whole generation of women
that's had a disservice becausethey were told that's just the
way it is.
You're older, you're going togain some weight, feel bad, no
energy man.
That is just so wrong.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, Well, I mean the hormones.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I highly recommend them.
It's made a huge difference.
The vitamins too.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
The vitamins yes.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I love the vitamins.
I take all of them.
I love methylene blue.
I started that.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
That is amazing.
Your energy levels, yes, minusthe blue tongue for about 10
minutes.
I think it's the best thingever.
I mean, even the blue tongue, Idon't care, it prevents you
from all sorts of diseases too.
I mean like I mean it's youknow.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's like taking ivermectin.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Uh-huh, I take that too, I you know, come like flu
season you know, put ivermectinin.
You take orally twice a weekand you're good.
Yes, absolutely, and it's overthe counter now.
That's great.
Yeah, that is great.
Yeah, a lot of people don'tknow that.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Well, kelly, this has been fantastic, I mean, I think
it's just, I'd like to have youback so that we can kind of
dive in a little bit more withsome of these treatments,
because I think it's, I think itwould be a good opportunity to
provide some education.
Like yes what do we need to know, as as a client, on what we
(30:44):
need to choose?
As far to look better I reallylove what you said about the
Botox.
Far to look better I reallylove what you said about the
Botox.
I think that if you don't dothe other things, you're just
freezing muscle and it's justnot going to work.
You're just throwing money in asyringe.
You're throwing money in asyringe.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
That's right.
And not think it's bad, butyou're just not going to get
what you want.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yes, yeah, well, thank you for being on the show.
