Over Under Theory

The medical literature is replete with news about anti-oxidant therapy for the improvement of heart, kidney, lung, nervous, and skin systems of the human body. The literature is also filled with topical treatment modalities that serve as anti-oxidants scavenging free radicals.

Free radicals are created within any tissue that utilizes oxygen to sustain life. When free radicals are in abundance, they act to destroy tissues locally causing inflammation, necrosis, and in effect aging. In fact many studies have made direct links between the abundance of free radicals circulating throughout the body and premature aging.

The same can be said for the skin. When sunlight comes in contact with the skin, there is a higher chance to develop local free radicals that work to destroy the integrity of the dermis leaving the skin wrinkled, mottled, and aged appearing.

What anti-oxidants do is simply scavenge the free radicals and remove them from your circulation and from the surface of your skin preventing damage.

At Reviva Medical Spa, we have found a manner to treat the skin from "above and below" or Over and Under.

The treatment protocol is quite simple. The skin is aggressively treated from "above" with topical anti-oxidants that will cause a local and systematic destruction of all harmful free radicals.

Next, you are placed on an aggressive treatment of oral supplements that have supra-optimal levels of free radicals. This treats the skin from "below."

These two treatments will lend to in effect squeezing the free radicals from the skin giving the most luster, health, and vitality that you have ever seen to your most vital organ.
