Treatments at CQ Med Gym

Semaglutide is an FDA approved once a week injectable weight loss medication and the most effective weight loss prescription available today. Compared to other medications, research shows Semaglutide helps patients lose more weight. CQ provides careful monitoring by our physicians with individualized adjustments to reach the target dose, at which stage the weight loss results are undeniable. This is typically managed by slowly increasing your dose over time and should only be prescribed and monitored by a licensed physician. Semaglutide is a FDA approved prescription medication originally used to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and then subsequently for weight loss management administered once weekly by easy subcutaneous injection. Semaglutide is the active injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist contained in the following different brand names: Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy.

​

Tirzepatide ( Mounjaro ) like Ozempic's semaglutide are both in the class of drugs known as incretin mimetics but have some differences. Mounjaro acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, while semaglutide acts only on GLP-1 receptors. Tirzepatide activates glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors creating the most effective weight loss medication to date.

CQ Med Gym utilizes the most advanced and newest technology of microneedling with radio frequency (RF) to give you all the proven results of older devices like Morpheus 8 but now without the pain of Morpheus. Microneedling with RF is an FDA approved treatment that produces amazing results for skin rejuvenation, loose facial skin, poor skin texture, fine lines, anti-aging and more and now without pain or downtime! CQ's microneedle with RF technology is designed to target the deeper layers of the skin to reshape and remodel the tissues of the face and body to give you faster, more remarkable results with little to no downtime. This innovative, FDA-approved radiofrequency microneedling treatment is scientifically proven to not only promote collagen production, but also to significantly improve texture, lift, tone and tighten the skin. CQ Med Gym's Potenza is suitable for all skin types, even darker skin tones. CQ's new Potenza RF Microneedling with Tiger Tip technology performs like no topical (or even filler) ever could, actually stimulating your body’s collagen and elastin levels to treat the advanced signs of aging for skin that looks younger, firmer, smoother, brightened, with improved texture and tone and clarity. Potenza stimulates new collagen production to not only give you tighter, firmer-looking skin, but younger-acting skin while providing faster healing time than traditional microneedling. Most commonly treated areas include the face, periorbital area (around the eyes), neck, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and legs.

There’s a new way to enhance aging facial contours for women and men that’s more effective than fillers and Botox but involves no incisions, needles, or sutures: The EMFACE. The CQ Med Gym in Orange County is one of the first physician practices in the country to offer patients EMFACE to improve facial contours, wrinkles, collagen, and lift facial features without surgery.

Loss of facial fat, muscle density, collagen, and skin elasticity cause the cheeks to become thinner and the lower face to lose definition. As the deep support layer weakens, it loses its ability to keep facial tissues in an elevated and youthful position. Energy-based treatments like Emsculpt NEO are ideal for addressing similar changes on the body and sculpting more youthful contours, and there has been a high demand for a treatment that can do the same for the face. EMFACE HIFES triggers thousands of powerful muscle contractions that strengthen and tone facial muscles. EMFACE radiofrequency energy encourages renewed collagen production which works in conjunction with hyaluronic acid to improve the volume and health of your skin.

Because of its non-invasive application and noticeable results, EMFACE represents the “next step forward” in facial rejuvenation for an natural look that also improves and provides a workout for facial renewal rather than traditional aesthetic cosmetic procedures which give effective short-term results but actually speed up facial aging in the long-run.

Like EMFACE, CQ Med Gym offers head-to-toe physician-level medical treatments for skin renewal including the Exilis Ultra to patients looking to tighten skin and reduce fat without the pain, risks, or downtime associated with surgery. Exilis Ultra can be used anywhere on the body, including under the eyes to get dark circles, crow's feet, and sagging skin, the face, forehead, neck, decollage & chest, back, buttocks, legs, arms, abdomen, and love handles as well as in combination with EMFACE or Emsculpt NEO to address sagging skin, wrinkles, cellulite, and contour away fat. It’s the first non-invasive skin tightening and fat reduction device to simultaneously use radiofrequency and ultrasound technology. 

​

Exilis Ultra can enhance and protect your skin's appearance naturally at any age. The combination of ultrasound and radio frequency will stimulate skin cells to produce collagen, reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture. The benefits of stimulating your own collagen is that collagen is deposited in an orderly, structured manner and that there is no risk of allergy, immune reaction or injection-induced infection. Younger adults can be proactively rebuilding their collagen, fiber elastins & epidermis prior to age lines settling in. Older adults can repair years of damage and deeper wrinkles with CQ skin treatments. 

​

You can continue to get Botox and fillers and utilize Exilis treatments the spacing or simply replace Botox and fillers with Exilis treatments; however, CQ Med Gym does not perform Botox or fillers as there is no physical benefit to either injectables for aesthetic purposes and neither injectable promotes stronger healthier skin and muscle tissue for graceful aging like Exilis Ultra's  ultrasound and radio frequency technology. 

Lipo+B12 Injections

If you’ve felt sluggish or slow lately, you might be living with a slow metabolism. A slow metabolism can be a roadblock on your weight loss journey, as reduced metabolism keeps your body in fat-storing mode instead of fat-burning load. The solution to this problem can be as simple as a lipotropic shot “Skinny Shot”. Lipo+B12 (B12/MIC) shots can help patients increase energy, boost metabolism, and burn fat at quicker rates than before. Lipotropic shots are formulated with a compound of ingredients; while the base of this treatment is vitamin B12, the other ingredients include fat-busting and metabolism-increasing amino acids that work with the body to eliminate unwanted fat and remove toxins clogging up your metabolic rate. Combined, these three amino acids stop the body from storing excess fat and help boost internal processes to break fat down more quickly for removal.

B12 or Lipo-B12? Or Lipo-C or Vitamin C? CQ Med Gym offers all. B12 injection uses a concentrated serum of vitamin B to boost the energy and metabolism. B12 injections give the body further resources to produce more red blood cells to carry larger amounts of oxygen throughout the body, meaning those who receive such treatments can benefit from increased energy and reduced feelings of fatigue. B12 is a necessary vitamin that our bodies do not naturally produce. Lipotropic B12 or MIC+B12 injections additionally work with the liver to remove fat and toxins from the body. Lipotropic injections are a triple-threat for enhancing your overall health; in addition to boosting your metabolism and energy, lipotropic injections destroy fat and help your body filter toxins more quickly. Lipotropic -B12 injections are better for patients looking to shed more weight as compared to the general benefits of B12 injections. Vitamin C injections help build a stronger immune system directly into the body bypassing the digestive system.

NAD Therapy 

NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells that is essential in key physiological processes in our bodies. Without NAD we would have no energy and cease to exist. As we get older our internal NAD production slows down leading to mental and physical fatigue. One of the ways to supplement declining NAD as we age is through NAD+ Therapy. NAD+ Injections help to ensure full physical absorption rather than being broken down in the digestive system like food or supplements, thereby delivering maximum benefits to your body.

The benefits of NAD therapy are plentiful including: slowing or reverse aging on a cellular DNA level, increasing neurological functioning, lifting mental brain fog, speeding up muscle recovery, improving regeneration in the brain, improving attention deficits and cognitive functions, aiding addiction recovery, boosting organ functioning, increasing metabolic functioning, decreasing chronic stress, enhancing focus and athletic performance, boosting the immune system response to inflammation, helping relieve depression and anxiety, increasing energy, and increasing serotonin the “feel good” chemical of the brain.

​

Peptide Therapy

Collagen peptides are amino acid chains that can help your body use its own natural healing abilities to move closer towards optimal health. These tiny protein fragments are made up of anywhere from 2-40 individual amino acids smaller than many regular proteins found in the body. This makes these peptide bonds easier for your system to process and utilize for functions such as muscle growth, skincare and even weight loss. Each peptide bond used in peptide therapy has its unique function, which provides different directions to your body’s cells to trigger different results. Therapy involving peptides has played a notable role in the medical industry ever since the development of insulin back in the 1920s. Every day, researchers and clinicians continue innovating revolutionary peptide therapy techniques to help patients improve their overall health, wellness and quality of life. Currently, the FDA has approved over 60 drugs for use in peptide therapy for their rejuvenating qualities on our physical and cognitive functions.

​

Glutathione Therapy

Glutathione “The Master Antioxidant” is an antioxidant produced naturally in our body and made up of amino acids, cysteine, and glutamic acid. The levels of glutathione in your body can be affected by age, environmental toxins, stress, and poor nutrition. Glutathione is found naturally in some foods that are more sulfuric, such as broccoli or eggs. It’s also produced in our liver and creates healthy cells. While this antioxidant is something our body naturally makes, that doesn’t mean your body won’t need an extra push to help handle stress or illness. Getting extra glutathione means that your body is better equipped to fight off disease or illness. Glutathione serves many benefits. It helps oxidative stress, which occurs in our bodies when there isn’t a correct balance of free radicals and antioxidants. When this imbalance occurs, it opens the door to diseases like diabetes, heart disease, coronary artery disease, and more. Oxidative stress is linked to aging. Glutathione reduces the stressors on the body by effectively rebalancing it. It protects cell mitochondria and gets rid of free radicals. Your body’s immune response will ease, which can then allow it to heal properly. Glutathione can assist to protects our cellular functioning at the DNA level. Glutathione is also linked with improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.

The CQ Med Gym utilizes the only the FDA cleared state-of-the-art technology designed to bypass your brain's limits and bio-hack your body to body contour with two treatments in one. Dr. Brittany Glenn and the CQ team provide EMSCULPT NEO. The best and most researched body contouring technology far and above superior to older technologies less effective in body shaping and slimming devices like cool sculpting that only freeze fat. EMSCULPT NEO produces HIFEM (electro-magnetic muscle toning) +RF (radio frequency fat reduction), making it the only body sculpting device that's 2 treatments at once and the only device that tones muscle. The NEO can target core abdominal muscles, oblique love handles, arms, thighs, calves, and the glutes for a natural buttock lift.

EMSCULPT NEO is breakthrough HIFEM+RF science. The NEO is the first and only body sculpting treatment that removes stubborn fat while simultaneously toning and building your underlying muscles to truly "sculpt" and help your body. NEO produces 20,000 high intensity focused electromagnetic supramaximal muscle contractions in a 30 minute session while employing radio frequency to eliminate fat; 30 minutes of NEO equals 16 weeks of HIIT workouts! The NEO is a non-invasive and non-surgical technology. EMSCULPT NEO has no significant side effects. Zero downtime. A 30-minute session and back to your life.

EMSELLA revolutionizes the women's intimate health and wellness category by providing those suffering from incontinence with a completely non-invasive option. Men can benefit from the same results. Pelvic floor muscles are the layer of muscles that support the pelvic organs and span the bottom of the pelvis. Strong pelvic floor muscles gives you control over your bladder and bowel. Weakened pelvic floor muscles mean your internal organs are not fully supported and you may have difficulty controlling the release of urine. EMSELLA utilizes electromagnetic energy to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. These Kegel contractions help re-educate the muscles and neuromuscular functioning of patients suffering from incontinence. To date 5 clinical studies have been published on EMSELLA. Studies confirm 95% of patients report an improved quality of life simply sitting on Emsella. Better yet the 12,000 supramaximal Kegel's per session induced by the Emsella chair improves sexual and intimate wellness and performance for men and women all while you sit comfortably on Emsella in your clothes and relax. Combine Emsella with Emsculpt NEO abdominal sessions for a powerful core-to-floor treatment resulting in increased muscle hypertrophy and hyperplasia and restoration of neuromuscular control. Core-to-floor therapy with Emsella and Emsculpt NEO can improve strength and balance as well as incontinence and help a hurting back due to lack of core strength without inducing injury or imbalance having to perform sit-ups or crunches.
