Skin Care Tip

Beautiful Skin Requires Commitment - Go Get A Facial!

Did you know that facials allow you to concentrate on your breathing and reclaim your confidence in your skin's health and beauty?  A facial not only relaxes and rejuvenates the face, but it also relaxes and rejuvenates the mind.  Monthly facials can help you attain the best skin possible by supplementing your at-home skincare routine.  Facials aid in the renewal of skin cells by increasing blood flow beneath the skin, which can reduce puffiness and fluid buildup caused by our lymphatic system.  Circulation is crucial because it transports oxygen, proteins, and nourishment to the skin while also removing pollutants. 

Although we like to believe that our regular skin cleansers penetrate deep into our pores, they can only go so far.   A facial can help eliminate the oil and filthy buildup that a daily cleanser can't.  Bacteria originating from oil and grime are removed as well, leaving you with a healthy, bright complexion.  The cell turnover rate in your face is increased, which helps to slow down the aging process. 

So remember, a monthly facial massage increases collagen formation and strengthens facial muscles, resulting in fewer fine lines and wrinkles and softer, smoother skin.

Anti-Aging Tip

Rest is best.

If you could do one thing to make your life better, it should be learning to sleep.

Of course we all know that sleep is critical to our overall well-being.  It benefits our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.  The importance of sleep cannot be overstated, which is why all doctors agree that getting enough sleep is beneficial to our skin.  It is also recommended to sleep with a silk or satin pillowcase to be able to sleep peacefully because they are smooth and soothing, lulling you to sleep in comfort leaving less lines on your face. 

Physically, it is suggested that you de-stress yourself through yoga, sleep, meditation, or other relaxation techniques.  Do the things you loved as a child - go to bed!

Plastic Surgery Tip

To cut or to get Botox?

Botox is one of the most used options for facial rejuvenation.

One of the most important advantages of Botox is that it is a simple approach to enhance your natural beauty. Botox injections can help with everything from severe lines to sweating to migraines. They are non-invasive and quick. Botox will be injected into particular areas of your face with a tiny needle. The effects of Botox injections can be seen as soon as three to four days after the procedure, and continue to act for around three months following injection.

Following your injections, you can immediately resume your routine activities. Make an appointment with us and we'll help you avoid surgery, if you want to avoid it.
