More than Skin Deep with Medical Aesthetics

“Beauty is only skin deep.” You may have heard this before - A timeless adage that has led many to believe that they can achieve the look they desire purely by focusing on what is immediately apparent. This philosophy has led to the development of countless cosmetic products, creams and serums meant to camouflage the traits that frustrated consumers are seeking to change.  These products have countless benefits, but provide a very short term solution that simply masks an underlying issue.

Perhaps you have become unsatisfied with the short-term benefits of these products, and really just want to fix the problem once and for all. Finally society has provided a solution through combining the rapidly evolving medical field with cosmetic spa treatments. Enter your more permanent solution: the field of medical aesthetics. Since its creation, medical aesthetics has expanded to treat a plethora of beauty concerns that individuals may have at every stage of life from acne to scarring, from undesirable veins to cellulite, from anti-aging treatments to body hair removal and more.

Medical aesthetics provides very fast results, and non-invasively treats problems from their source: The inside. By targeting a problem at its source, the effect becomes permanent or long-term, which not only ensures optimal results but enables you to move forward with your life with confidence – a trait which always adds a radiant glow.

… Might medical aesthetics be right for me?

Consider any appearance concerns when trying to decide whether one of these treatments may be right for you. Perhaps you feel uncomfortable with a particular part of your body, so much so that you go through regular effort to cover it up. This is time consuming, frustrating and sometimes costly. So costly, in fact, that a prominent study found that the average woman spends approximately $15,000 on cosmetics throughout her lifetime. Yikes!

Between the time and energy it takes to locate the most effective means of camouflage and then apply or maintain it daily, the ongoing expenses accrued by its maintenance and the regular annoyances caused, it might be worth looking into more permanent and effective solution. Every person deserves to live their best life possible, and facing everyday with confidence and positivity helps ensure the best possible outcome in any situation that may come your way.

If you think you may be ready to take the plunge, locate your local medical spa and take a look at the services offered - They may have just the answer you have been looking for. Beauty isn’t just skin deep, beauty comes from within.

Five Benefits of Facial Treatments

Your face is the first impression people get about who you are and how well you care for yourself. It can reveal secrets about your health, your stress level and if you follow a regular skin care regimen. Many people think that a facial is a luxury, but there are actually many advantages to these types of treatments. Here are five ways facial treatments benefit your appearance:

1.      Reduce stress -  We hold a great deal of stress and tension in our face. Fine lines and wrinkles, bags under the eyes and facial discoloration can be a dead giveaway about the level of stress in your life. Facials offer you a chance to sit back and be pampered while doing something beneficial for your skin. Feel your tension slip away as a trained aesthetician uses the most advanced skin treatments to take years off your skin.

2.      Improve circulation – Blood flow in your skin can slow as you age. This slowing also means that our skin does not renew as quickly as it once did.  A deep facial cleansing massages tissue and increases the blood flow. This will help to increase the production of collagen and improve elasticity as well as smoothness and suppleness of the skin.

3.      Deep cleaning – A facial treatment helps to remove dirt and blockages from the skin pores. It also exfoliates dead skin cells that can cause acne. Regular treatments can reduce the size of pores and decrease discoloration and irregularities on the surface of the skin. The end result is a healthy and youthful glow.

4.      Balance and tone – The stress of everyday life, pollution and even sun damage can create an imbalance in the pH levels in your skin. This can cause blotching and redness and create dullness. A facial treatment can help even pH balance and create an even skin tone.

5.      Slow aging process – While no one can turn back time, regular facial treatments just might make it look as though you have. A hydrated, even and smooth complexion can help take years off your appearance.
