With the spread of the SARS-COV-2, better known as COVID-19, it is essential that we all are tested to know if we are contagious or not, for our own safety and the safety of our loved ones. There are what they call as “Super Spreaders,” those who do not have symptoms such as cough, difficulty of breathing and fever, but they disperse the virus to people. Thus, WHO recommended that one of the best ways to stop COVID-19 pandemic from getting worse is to do mass testing of the people .
CorDerm is offering the Rapid Testing for COVID-19 to give our staff and our patients more peace of mind. The test only takes about 2 minutes and you get the results at the end of the test, on the same day.
Rapid testing for COVID-19 is a blood test that identifies antibodies produced by the immune system. This is your body’s response as it develops immunity to the virus. This test can read two kinds of antibodies: the immunoglobulin M (IgM), which is your early immune response, and the immunoglobulin G (IgG), which is your delayed immune response.
IgM can be found in patients who are positive for COVID-19 by RT-PCR and are still infected and infectious. IgG is found in those previously tested as positive, but who have since recovered.
– If you have no symptoms, are negative for IgM, and positive for IgG then you are probably infected and developing immunity. It is best to self-isolate.
– If you have no symptoms, are positive for IgM, but are also positive for IgG, then it’s best to self-isolate for another 14 days, take another rapid antibody test after that time, and check the results again.
– If you have no symptoms, are positive for IgM, and are negative for IgG, then you are considered infected. It is best to self-isolate for 14 days and take an RT-PCR swab test.
– If you have no symptoms, are negative for IgM, and are negative for IgG then you’re not likely to be infected but may consider taking a retest after 7-14 days, depends on your activity/exposure risk.
Thus, Rapid Testing for COVID-19 is a Good Screening test for COVID-19. Not only will it give you peace of mind that you are not infected with the SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19), but it will also make your home and workplace safe from the dreaded virus.

REAL PATIENTS, REAL RESULTS: Thermage FLX™ for Facial Rejuvenation

Thermage® FLX is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) therapy that heats the deeper, collagen-rich layers of the skin. The applied heat causes collagen to contract and encourages new collagen to start growing. This helps create a smoother and firmer skin, with less wrinkles after just ONE TREATMENT with RESULTS THAT CONTINUE TO IMPROVE. The skin becomes tighter and firmer that there will be an apparent skin lifting. The Advantage of Thermage® FLX over other Radiofrequency devices is the Powerful Monopolar technology that causes more collagen formation as well as tightening the existing collagen of the skin with just ONE SESSION. Measurable results appear gradually in 1 to 2 months, with maximum results after 6 months following ONE TREATMENT SESSION. Results can last for up to 2 years depending on your skin condition and aging process. Plus, there is little to no downtime with Thermage FLX®
Thermage FLX® yields the best results for those who are categorised as “Sinkers,” those people who are characterized by volume loss around key areas of the face such as the temples, mid-face and cheeks. Because Thermage FLX® does not melt fats, the “Sinkers” will not have a gaunt/thinned out appearance after this treatment.
This patient came to our clinic and wanted to have a treatment for her wrinkles and loose skin. Evaluation of her face revealed that she was a “Sinker,” one who doesn’t have much soft tissues and fats in her cheeks. Thus, Thermage FLX® was the best option for her. Immediately after the ONE SESSION of Thermage FLX™, there was very visible improvement of her facial skin which created an immediate rejuvenation of her face. Our dermatologist told her that this was an initial result and the results will even get better after 1 to 2 months and will continue to improve up to 6 months.

TREATMENT FEATURE: MULTIVITAMIN INFUSION – Increasing Our Body’s Defense Against the COVID-19 and other Infectious Diseases

WHAT IS MULTIVITAMIN INFUSION?
Multivitamin Infusion is a method of feeding all the Essential Vitamins, Minerals, Natural Plant Stem Cells and other Natural Nutrients directly into your bloodstream. Bypassing the digestive system is the main advantage of Multivitamin Infusion; when substances are given orally they must be processed through the stomach and the intestines and filtered by our liver, thus, not all of the nutrients can be used by our body.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MULTIVITAMIN INFUSION?
Vitamin-mineral-stem cell immune boosting can play a role in helping you move toward optimal health. Often because of excessive stress, illness or nutritional deficiencies vitamin-mineral, amino acids, and other natural agents are used up or diminished and are therefore no longer available or ready to support the needs of the immune system in protecting, preventing and fighting various illnesses. With the recent COVID-19 global pandemic, we all need to boost our immunity through all means, and this infusion packed with all the essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients will help us fight this potent coronavirus. In many cases, fully relying on the oral vitamins and minerals and essential nutrients arriving immediately may just be ineffective unless you are prepared to ingest huge amounts of them daily.
Another benefit of Multivitamin Infusion is the enhancement of cellular repair of the body brought about by illnesses, poor nutrition and stress. The Natural Plant Stem Cells from Apple, Grape, Argan Fruit and Mangosteen are touted to boost the regenerative properties of our body’s cells. Thus, we have more energy and less of the body weakness that we may feel with stress, illnesses, poor nutrition and other factors that affect us on a daily basis.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MULTIVITAMIN INFUSION?
Because of the high doses of vitamins and minerals contained in the Multivitamin Infusion, you only need to have it every 1 to 3 weeks, depending on your current health status. People who are immunocompromised such as with diabetes and cancer will benefit from every week Multivitamin Infusion. For those who are otherwise healthy, every 3 weeks of Multivitamin Infusion may be enough.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF MULTIVITAMIN INFUSION?
There are no known side effects since they are naturally-occurring vitamins, minerals and natural nutrients including plant-based stem cells.

Want to know more about Multivitamin Infusion? Ask our Board-Certified and Internationally-Trained Dermatologist about it. Please call us at 88088140, 88869148 or 0917-9579335, or send us an email at cordermlasercenter@yahoo.com to schedule your consultation/treatment.
