The Key to Boosting Your Performance in the Gym
3 DEVICES TO IMPROVE YOUR BREATHING
When you’re running or lifting weights, oxygen is the fuel that keeps you moving. It rushes into your lungs and blood with every breath you take, and your heart pumps it out to your muscles, where it becomes vital energy. Ensuring your airway is open is the key to making this process run smoothly.
that wearing an Under Armour mouthguard boosted college athletes’ endurance, exercise intensity, and recovery.
PUTTING YOUR BEST NOSE FORWARD Since the 1996 Olympics, athletes all over the world have been using nasal dilators to improve their breathing. These devices make it easier to breathe through your nose, either by pulling open your nostrils from the outside (like the Breathe Right Nasal Strips you see on football players) or pushing them open from the inside (like Nas-Air that clips into the nose, a bit like a bull’s ring). These devices aren’t exactly fashion statements, but they work, particularly the internal ones! According to an Italian study published by Acta Biomedica, athletes using an internal dilator made by Nas-Air felt less fatigued after working out than athletes using Breathe Right strips or no device. Mouthguards and nasal dilators are just the tip of the breath-enhancing iceberg, but they’re the most accessible options for athletes just starting to dabble in the practice. To find out more about the products above, visit UnderArmour.com for mouthguards, BreatheRight.com for external nasal dilators, or RhinoMed.global for internal dilator options.
If you’re a regular in the gym, you probably know how important proper breathing is. You might even be employing breathing techniques already. But did you know you can also buy your way to better breathing? CREATING AN OXYGEN SUPERHIGHWAY Mouthguards aren’t just to protect our teeth during sports anymore. According to specialists, wearing a mouthguard can help open up your airway by moving your jaw forward and keeping your tongue stable. This lets more oxygen in and lets more carbon dioxide out!

Radio Frequency Microneedling THE LATEST IN FACE SKIN REJUVENATION
Here at Cool Renew Med Spa, we’re excited to announce the latest addition to our collection of beauty services and treatments: radiofrequency microneedling, or just microneedling for short. Its name makes this treatment sound like something out of science fiction, and with what the process accomplishes for your skin, it might as well be. Microneedling is the first ever anti-aging treatment for your face proven to both tighten your skin and reduce wrinkles at the same time. The treatment works like this: Over the course of at least three 20-minute sessions, we’ll use a tool called the “Genius” that creates a series of ultrafine needles that will puncture targeted areas on your face, about 3 millimeters deep. These needles will leave very small wounds. Then, when these wounds are healing, the process will cause your body’s collagen production to go way up. Collagen is a major component in keeping your skin strong and reducing wrinkles, and it will rush to heal the small punctures in your face while also revitalizing your skin. While the idea of injecting a bunch of tiny needles into your skin might not seem very appealing, we promise that you’ll love the results. The treatment does not leave any lasting holes in your skin, and even right
after the treatment, no one can see them. While you might experience some redness and minor irritation immediately following the procedure, this will not last very long. What will last is a face that is healthier and more youthful than ever before. We hope our patients who have been looking for the best way to achieve a more youthful complexion will give microneedling a try. In fact, throughout July, we’ll be offering 50% off the cost of this treatment as an introductory offer. We hope to see you soon!
