Dr. Chesnut is a constant self-experimenter, biohacker, and proponent of maximizing the performance and recovery already built into our body’s physiology. He takes that performance and recovery-based mindset into all of the procedures that he performs, and the difference in post-procedural recovery is dramatic!
Depending on the procedure performed, from rejuvenative facial surgery to simple injectables, Dr. Chesnut will customize a recovery package specifically for you, which is always included with your treatments – Dr. Chesnut wants to maximize your recovery potential and minimize your downtime!
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine involves what are likely the most powerful, and definitely the most exciting modalities to improve cellular function, especially when it comes to healing tissues. Dr. Chesnut utilizes some of the most cutting-edge methods, like hyperconcentrated PRP that delivers a sustained release of your own growth factors, for healing and repairing tissue. Fat-based stem cells can also be used to enhance recovery and augment facial volume. Reach out and set up an in-person consultation to learn more about how our revolutionary recovery techniquest can help you get back to your daily life much more quickly.
Hyperbaric Oxygen
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the delivery of oxygen to parts of your body in the process of healing, speeding the process and improving its effectiveness, while reducing swelling and bruising. This process also helps to increase your body’s capacity to neutralize the damage caused by oxidative stress and the presence of free radicals, allowing your cells to function more efficiently and heal your body at a much faster rate.
Light Emitting Diode Therapy
LED therapy is an exciting new procedure, during which various wavelengths of light interact with our cells, to help them function much more efficiently. When cells have been injured by a laser or other skin treatment, for example, specific wavelengths of light can stimulate those cells and reduce oxidative stress, improving blood flow to the skin surface and enhancing the body’s natural regenerative process. This increases cellular function, speeds healing, and lowers the inflammation and discomfort often associated with recovery.
Nutritional Therapy
Did you know that Dr. Chesnut‘s undergraduate biology work was based in nutrition?
Nutrition during your recovery period is maximized not just with micro- and macro-nutrients, but also with phytonutrients such as Arnica and bromelain.
Dr. Chesnut routinely uses MEND Cosmetic, a medical dietary supplement with an evidence-based, proprietary formulation of nutrients designed to support healing following surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
Pain Management
Dr. Chesnut is a pioneer of the use of a long-acting local anesthetic and nerve blockage to manage pain after cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
This can negate the need for narcotic-based medication after surgery or other procedures, helping you feel better as quickly as possible, without the fogginess and gastrointestinal issues that come with narcotic medications.
Hair Restoration
Clinic 5C utilizes LED therapy with regenerative hair treatments, which have been shown to help stimulate hair growth via similar mechanisms to those mentioned above. In addition, topical therapies can be customized to your specific needs, for integration and inclusion in your treatment protocol.
Topical Treatments
Direct delivery of antioxidants and growth factors to skin in the process of healing is the simplest mechanism possible (in addition to maximized nutrition) to ensure that your skin enjoys its maximum healing capacity. Dr. Chesnut will customize your specific topical regimen based on your individual needs and the procedure you are having – this often includes tinted sunscreen to cover visible redness in addition to growth factors, antioxidants and other topical peptides that can provide benefit.
Scar Management
Scars after surgical procedures are generally unnoticeable and non-bothersome – much of that starts in the active recovery phase utilizing topical scar gels and lasers, when needed.
Dr. Chesnut likes to be very proactive and maximizing your outcome by minimizing the appearance of any scars.
