Everything they do at the Rejuvalife Vitality Institute is devoted to helping patients look and feel great, says Dr. Andre Berger, founder.

“We work to accomplish that, and at the same time, avoid invasive procedures and undesirable down time,” Berger said.

The practice has two areas that have a constant and vital relationship.

• The first has to do with clients’ external appearance, the cosmetic side of the institute.

Rejuvalife offers the latest available technologies and services ranging from  body sculpting and contouring to liposculpture and laser lipolysis, which uses a laser to melt fat and tighten skin.

In addition to facial sculpting and contouring, Rejuvalife offers skin resurfacing and repositioning and a non surgical liquid facelift using state-of-art materials and techniques to volumize and sculpt the face with injectables such as fillers and botox.

“We have a full range of skin-care products and procedures to create a vibrant, youthful appearance,” said Dr. Berger.

None of these procedures require general anesthesia or IV sedation. “At the most, for some procedures local anesthesia techniques are used, providing the safest means of performing them,” Dr. Berger said.

• The other side of Rejuvalife Vitality Institute relates to helping patients achieve their highest levels of wellness and vitality.

“This is done by taking a holistic approach in balancing and optimizing every factor that contributes to achieving this goal,” Dr. Berger said,  including:

• Lifestyle coaching and improvement - “We help with with nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress reduction and other lifestyle factors that influence the expression of each of our patients’ unique genetic fingerprint,” Dr. Berger said.

• Optimizing hormonal balance -  Rejuvalife’s state-of-the-art hormone replacement therapies help with   menopause and andropause (male testosterone deficiency) adult human -growth hormone deficiency, thyroid deficiencies, and deficiencies in other hormones.

• Comprehensive tests and evaluations are also performed to evaluate brain health, gastrointestinal health the presence of toxic elements and heavy metals, for food sensitivities, and for other critical imbalances at usually not addressed by traditional medical evaluations.

“We want to affect and prevent problems at their origin,” says Dr. Berger, “rather than downstream after the effects of imbalances have already taken root.”

• In addition, Rejuvalife also includes a comprehensive weight-loss program for all ranges of need. “Whether one needs to lose more than  50 pounds or less than that, we offering diverse targeted options for long-term success,” Dr. Berger said.

These include: Optifast full- or partial meal-replacement programs, motivational coaching, exercise evaluation and coaching, dietary management, and calorie-restricted diets.

“I would say that our approach is the most comprehensive type of program to be found in the area,” Berger says. He has a strong belief that a balance of complementary therapy,  traditional medicine and non-surgical cosmetic procedures are the key to people’s emotional, physical and mental well-being.

And, he focuses on prevention rather than the just the cure.
