7 THINGS YOU’RE NOT DOING FOR YOUR SKIN BUT SHOULD

By Britta Kasbee | September 2019

Do you also quest for clear, smooth, radiant skin? It can feel like an uphill battle at times, especially when dealing with hard-to-control variables like pollution and fluctuating hormones.

An estimated 85 percent of young people between the ages of 12 and 24 are plagued by breakouts. As we get older, the worries over blemishes don’t end. Here are seven simple skincare secrets for getting an Instagrammable complexion – no filter required:

1. Cut back on sugar – When you consume sugar, it causes inflammation in the body. Inflammation produces enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, contributing to sagging skin and wrinkles. Sugar can also make conditions like acne and rosacea worse.

2. Look to supplements for hormonal balance – Katie, a 30-year-old blogger in California have been battling with painful acne with no success, Katie turned to supplements to treat her sensitive skin from the inside out, with supplements for hormonal balance.

3. Use vitamin E to rejuvenate your skin – While it’s hard to resist, it’s not a good idea to pop your pimples or pick at your skin during a breakout. While there’s little evidence that vitamin E heals scars, it can help regulate the production of collagen and elastin.

4. Drink enough water – The skin is made of 64 percent water, hydrating will help keep your complexion from becoming dry, tight, and flaky.

5. Establish a nightly skincare routine – For a flawless complexion, it’s important to establish an evening skincare routine that cleanses, nourishes, and moisturizes your skin.

6. Give skincare products a chance to work – Constantly switching up your night cream, face oil etc. doesn’t give the products a chance to produce visible results. You need to use most products for at least a month to see a difference, since average cell turnover is 28 days.

7. Use sun protection every morning – Even if you work indoors, you’re still exposing your skin to harmful UV rays during your commute that can cause dark spots, wrinkles, and worst case, skin cancer.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MED SPA

By Kathryn Lutz | August 2019

Medical spas have been popping up all over the world due to their increase in popularity. To help make your search for the perfect med spa a little easier, here is what to look for in a med spa (and what you should avoid!).

Long-Term and Personable Staff
If the staff are regularly leaving, this is a fair indication that something isn’t ideal.
Having a healthy, established relationship with the staff will make it easier to seek out other remedies and solutions, than if you bounce from physician to physician.

Focus and Experience
It’s important to find physicians who have experience, especially in the specific areas that you are looking for!

Some Red Flags to Avoid
With a variety of options comes the possibility that you will come across practices with less-than-ideal standards of service.
Some of the most important things to avoid include:

  1. Unlicensed naturopathic doctors or aestheticians:
    It is extremely dangerous and oftentimes illegal that many med spas, naturopathic offices and physicians market themselves as “UnDs” even though they do not have proper licensing and education in medicine. This is common in natural medicine (true alternative medicine still requires extensive schooling).
  2. A revolving door of staff:
    If doctors, nurses and other personnel are constantly coming and going, this can be an indication of negative elements in the practice.
  3. Poor reviews/lack of reviews:
    It is always a good idea to check the practice´s website for reviews, before making an appointment.
  4. One-size-fits-all treatments:
    Aesthetic treatments should always be tailored specifically to each patient. Everyone has a unique body with specific concerns and needs.

8 WAYS TO GET A YOUNGER LOOKING NECK

By Britta Kasbee | August 2019

The skin on our necks is thinner than the skin on our faces and it’s exposed to the same wear and tear. So what are you doing about your neck? 

We spend so much effort preventing signs of aging in our faces. In reality, the neck is where we see the first sings of ageing. As we get older, laxity in the neck occurs due to a loss of support from connective tissue and muscle.

Protect Your Skin From the Sun
The single best thing you can do to preserve a youthful neck and prevent sagging skin, age spots, and fine lines is to wear sunscreen.

Add a Retinoid To Your Skincare Routine
Retinoids can boost the collagen production and stimulating cell turnover deep within the skin. This will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing the skin texture, and evening the skin tone.

Shrink Your Double Chin
If you’re worried about a double chin, Kybella® can help restore the youthful neck you desire.

Reduce Wrinkles Caused By Aging and Sun Damage
Botox® can be injected into the submental area and jawline to give a “lift” to an aging neck.

Embrace Technology to Improve Sagging Skin
Radiofrequency and ultrasound devices have shown to tighten loose neck-skin by using energy.

Go Under the Laser, Not the Knife
Lasers can also be used to rejuvenate the skin and promote a more youthful look.

Try Intense Pulsed Light Therapy For Dark Spots
Intense pulsed light therapy uses energy to treat wrinkles, dark spots, and sun damage.

When Surgery is The Best Option
According to Dr. Paul, a neck lift in conjunction with a deep plane facelift is the gold standard in restoring a youthful neck and jawline.

8 WAYS TO LOOK YOUNGER WITHOUT SURGERY

By Lisa Stone | July 2019

What can I do to restore my youthful glow? Learn all about which qualities that makes us appear younger without surgery.

What makes us look old is often loss of fat in the face. Sun damage is another big factor that contributes to an older look. There are many ways you can reverse the signs of aging for a more youthful look. The best part? You do not even need to go under the knife. Here are some of the eight ways to look younger without surgery:

Vitamin C and Vitamin A
The wrinkles and freckles we associate with aging appear most prominently on skin that has been exposed to the sun. Vitamin C can improve the appearance and texture of the skin. Vitamin C is proven to decrease the sun’s harmful effect and prevent future damage. This miracle antioxidant targets stubborn skin discoloration and reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, redness, and under eye circles. Vitamin A helps fade dark spots and stimulates the production of new skin cells.

Dermal fillers
Anti-aging injectables fill in wrinkles and depressions, replenishing lost volume to smooth your skin and promote an even complexion.

Microneedling
The purpose of microneedling is to create microscopic channels for anti-aging products, like hyaluronic acid or vitamin C, to seep through the deep layers of the skin.

Laser resurfacing
Facial flaws like age spots, acne scars, blood vessels, wrinkles, and sun damage respond well to laser resurfacing as it smoothes out the skin.

Radiofrequency skin tightening
Radiofrequency treatment involves heating the deepest layers of the skin to encourage new collagen production and cell turnover to help the skin become firmer, thicker, and younger-looking.

THE BEST COSMETIC TREATMENTS TO GET DURING THE SUMMER

By Lisa Stone | May 2019

There are numerous of cosmetic procedures that we do not recommend you doing during the summer time. Mostly because they can cause sensitivity to sun exposure. We have created a lifesaving guide for you with four treatments we highly recommend during the summer:

1. Body Sculpting
Non-surgical body sculpting treatments include technologies like CoolSculpting, SculpSure, and UltraShape. Instead of surgically removing the fat, they work by freezing fat cells or administering intense heat by means of ultrasound or radiofrequency. It can also be used to reshape a variety of areas.

2. Dermal Fillers
Unlike many other facial treatments, injectables do not have negative interactions with the harsh summer sun, making it a perfect treatment for summertime. Injectable dermal fillers are soft tissue fillers that restore volume and smooth out fine lines with a minimal downtime.

3. Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a noninvasive treatment. The results are not as strong as a traditional facelift, but it is a great alternative for those who are not ready to commit to a surgery or who want a speedier recovery. The procedure is different from traditional laser treatments. As a result, it tightens and lifts the skin, giving its patients a more youthful appearance.
