Beauty care is like a diet; it takes constancy and commitment to achieve that long -term WOW effect. It’s no secret that our celebrities may have been born more beautiful than the rest of us, (it’s not all Photoshop) but they quickly learn that if they want to keep their appearances up to the high standard that keeps them in front of the cameras, it takes work. And everyone can benefit from their experiences.
Not everyone wants or needs a facelift or an invasive procedure to achieve their beauty goals, although those procedures produce a much more dramatic result than anything less invasive. Still, there are many treatments and procedures that can make substantial improvements without anesthesia, pain, or downtime. Taken individually, results are always gratifying, but may not necessarily be the most striking or long-lasting. But taken as part of a well-planned regimen, they add up to an amazingly beautiful result, putting you on course to a lifetime of great skin. We call it our Beauty Plan.
Synergy in beauty care occurs when the results are greater than the sum of the parts. The parts of the Beauty Plan are the individual, non-invasive treatments that work together to create extraordinary healthy, smooth and glowing skin. The key is regular alternating treatments at monthly intervals.
The Plan usually starts with a medical-grade facial by Maya, our outstanding paramedical aesthetician. This will be followed by a variety of proven treatments by Maya and our two registered nurses, Joy and Audrey, involving a low-energy laser (“Clear and Brilliant”) and Micro-needling using the remarkable Rejuvapen. This is a small device that creates tiny little needle holes in the outer layer of the skin, allowing our Growth Factor serum to penetrate deeply into the dermis. For problematic acne scarring, the device can be “tuned” to create much deeper holes, almost like a tattoo machine, but without ink. Research has shown that micro-needling greatly increases collagen formation, helping to smooth out acne-scarred skin dramatically. Both the Clear and Brilliant and the Rejuvapen even out skin tones, reduce pore size and brighten the complexion.
The above treatments are painless (I know, it sounds like having a bunch of needle sticks wouldn’t be painless, but honestly it is…I’ve done it myself and can personally attest to that.) Any down-time is less than 24 hours, and is limited simply by the fact that your skin will be a bit red afterward. At worst, it looks like a mild sun-burn, which of course is something everyone should avoid!!
There are other treatments available also, including the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) by our new Ellipse machine from Denmark, the ultrasound treatment Ulthera, and other kinds of light peels. And of course, there’s the multitude of fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma, et al), neuromodulators (Botox, etc) and elegant and powerful skincare products. Some of these treatments may be combined in a single session, for faster results. BUT, don’t get overwhelmed and confused. Maya, Caroline, Joy, Audrey, and I are all here to help plan the best course of action for your particular skin and beauty needs. We will make it structured to fit your skin and your schedule and very easy to follow.
If you follow The Beauty Plan regularly, in a very short time you’ll be quite impressed at how fresh, youthful and clear your skin will become. Of course, should you decide you’d like to proceed to a more aggressive surgical approach, I’m available for surgical consultation. But, if facelifts and such are not on your To Do list, consider the Beauty Plan… it works wonders, without stitches.
