Plexr is now available at the Institute of Healthy

Plexr is now available at the Institute of Healthy Aging ✨A new way to tighten skin, smooth wrinkles, and clear up blemishes without going under the knife!

Plexr is a non-surgical medical device that uses plasma energy to rejuvenate your skin with no cuts or stitches.

The handheld tool interacts with gas in the air to create a tiny, precise spark targeting only the very top layer of your skin, turning superficial skin cells into gas.

The treatment leaves tiny, dot-like carbon crusts that naturally fall off in about a week.

As the area heals, your body builds fresh collagen, leaving your skin noticeably firmer and tighter.

What can you treat with Plexr at IHA?
👁️ Non-surgical eyelid lifts (Blepharoplasty)
👄 Fine lines (including stubborn smoker's lines around the mouth)
✨ Acne (both active breakouts and lingering scars)
🏷️ Skin growths (safe removal of skin tags, moles, and warts)

True radiance isn’t just an external layer, it’s g

True radiance isn’t just an external layer, it’s generated deep within your cells. ✨

For years, anti-aging focused almost exclusively on surface corrections. But when we look at longevity through a science-backed lens, skin vitality begins deep inside your cells.

Here is how optimizing your Mitochondrial Health & Micro-Circulation creates a harmonized, healthy glow:

⚡ The Cellular Powerhouse (Mitochondria & ATP):
Your mitochondria produce ATP, the primary energy currency your cells need to synthesize collagen, repair daily tissue damage, and maintain sustained energy levels.

🩸 Micro-Capillary Flow & Tissue Oxygenation:
Healthy micro-circulation delivers crucial oxygen and nutrients directly to dermal cells while flushing out metabolic waste, keeping skin plump, clear, and resilient.

🌿 Fine-Tuning at IHASA:
We utilise advanced modalities to optimize your cellular ecosystem:

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Saturation of tissue beds with 100% pure oxygen to support collagen synthesis, mental clarity, and cellular repair.

HOCATT Ozone Therapy: Integrates transdermal ozone steam, carbonic acid, and far-infrared light to encourage detoxification and enhance cellular energy.

When inner cellular health aligns with external aesthetic care, your body naturally reflects that internal equilibrium.

Why stacking HBOT + Peptides is the ultimate anti-

Why stacking HBOT + Peptides is the ultimate anti-fragility cheat code. 🧬⚡

Stress isn’t the enemy - fragility is.

In a world full of physical, environmental, and mental stressors, true longevity isn't just about recovering; it's about coming back stronger. That’s Anti-Fragility.

And the key to unlocking it? Cellular Signaling. 📶

Think of your body as a high-performance, high-tech network:

🧬 Peptides are the Messages: Small chains of amino acids that act as precise molecular messengers. They tell your cells exactly what to do—whether that’s producing growth hormone, lowering inflammation, or repairing tissue.

🔋 NAD+ is the Power Grid: The coenzyme responsible for fueling cellular energy (ATP), repairing DNA, and keeping your mitochondria firing on all cylinders.

💨 HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) is the Supercharger: By delivering 100% pure oxygen under pressure, HBOT saturates your plasma, driving oxygen deep into tissues that normally lack blood flow.

🤝 The Synergy: Why 1 + 1 = 3
When you combine these therapies, you aren't just adding benefits- you're multiplying them:

Precision Meets Power: Peptides deliver the signal (e.g., "repair this tissue"), while NAD+ provides the cellular fuel needed to execute the command at lightning speed.

Hyper-Oxygenated Signaling: HBOT triggers angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) and up-regulates stem cell release. When combined with tissue-repair peptides or NAD+, your cells receive the ultimate environment to rebuild, adapt, and upgrade.

Instead of just fighting fatigue or aging, this stack trains your biology to thrive under stress.

✊ Your grip strength is one of the most reliable s

✊ Your grip strength is one of the most reliable snapshots of your long-term health!

It’s not just about what you can lift—it’s a window into your biological aging process. The best part? It’s a metric you can actually improve with simple, daily training. 💪

🩺 How to test your grip strength:
Next time you're in the clinic, just ask our clinical staff to test you with our grip strength machine!

📊The results:

Men are looking for a grip strength of greater than 45 kg, women are looking for a grip strength above 28kg. Anything below this and you need to work a little harder at maintaining strength to ensure long term health benefits.

🏋️ What to do to improve:
(Remember: Always start light and work your way up!)

🔸 Kettlebell Carries: Hold or walk with them for 1 min. (Women: 10-16kg | Men: 16-24kg).
🔸 Dead Hangs: Lock your thumb over your fingers, engage your lats, and hang from a bar for 15 secs (work up to 1 min!). Tip: Rest your feet on a chair if it's too tough.
🔸 Tennis Ball Squeeze: 🎾 Squeeze one in each hand for a minute.
🔸 Ditch the Trolley: 🛍️ Carry your shopping bags to the car!

💡 Why it matters:
💪 Total Body Strength: A direct proxy for your overall muscle health & functional independence as you age.
❤️ Cardiovascular Health: Consistently linked to a healthier heart and lower risk of cardiovascular events.
🛡️ Resilience Marker: Reflects your body’s "reserve capacity" to recover from stress, illness, or injury.
🧠 Brain Health: Emerging data links it to better cognitive function and sharper mental health.
