Restore Your Skin With Our May Special

When we’re young it seems as though our skin can handle anything – a fast food diet, sunbathing for hours, forgetting to wash makeup off. However, as we grow older, these mistakes start to take a toll on our skin, most notably our face and neck. Thankfully, new skin care technology is emerging to help reverse visual damage.

For example, looking young and fresh-faced is easier than ever with the Age Management Skin Care System line from GlyMed. Two products from this line that Qwella aestheticians swear by include the GlyMed Treatment Cream and GlyMed Wrinkle Remedy. Here’s what you need to know about these game-changers.

GlyMed Treatment Cream: GlyMed Treatment Cream stimulates new collagen and elastin production below the skin surface. This helps to correct damage and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment cream is extremely effective because it contains a blend of Glycolic Acid, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Yeast Beta Glucan, and Squalene. These botanicals and antioxidants replenish skin’s hydration, leaving healthy and ageless skin. GlyMed Treatment cream is recommended for all skin types especially aged, damaged and dry skin.

GlyMed Wrinkle Remedy: Wrinkle Remedy helps restore collagen to a youthful cellular level, refilling your wrinkles the natural way by lifting sagging skin and targeting cell receptors. Why is this formula so effective? Advanced Drone Technology founded by GlyMed actively finds and treats targeted skin cells beyond the surface. This velvety formula helps support the synthesis of elasticity and hyaluronic acid – both necessary for youthful, younger looking, firmer skin.

May Special: Qwella Med Spa is pleased to announce a new special for our customers during the month of May. When you purchase GlyMed Treatment Cream and Wrinkle Remedy ($139.50) you will receive the following offer: buy one get one ½ off Viva or Botox ($9/unit) OR $100 off a syringe of filler. While GlyMed Treatment Cream and Wrinkle Cream are both great for replenishing skin, injectable fillers delve deep to relax the muscles under wrinkles. That means immediate results! With our May special, you will be looking your best come summer.

Get the Most From Your Procedure: Combining At-Home Products with In-Office Treatments

At Qwella Medical Spa you can feel confident that all of your spa treatments will be safe and beneficial. In addition, we want your radiance to last and for you to get the most out of your beauty treatments. The best way to ensure that is by pairing our at-home products with our expert in-office procedures.

Qwella carefully chooses facial and body product lines containing quality ingredients known to enhance and maintain your in-house spa treatments. Caring for your skin should be a daily ritual and with so many products out there to choose from, it can be overwhelming. We offer our clients the best possible skin care products and take away the guess work.

After receiving one of Qwella’s beautifying facials we recommend going home with a product like GLYMED Gentle Facial Wash. It is a 10% Glycol cleanser that jump starts the cells into a cell cycling mode and potentiates enhanced penetration of treatment products. Excellent for all skin types, this gentle wash provides both untagging and exfoliation benefits and won’t upset even the most sensitive of skins.

Moisturizing is the most important part of the skin care regimen, and should not be skimped on. After a light chemical peel or another one of our treatments, we like GLYMED Daily Repair Mega-Moisture Cream. It is a lightweight vitamin, mineral, and glycoprotein cream that hydrates as it helps repair photo damaged and environmentally stressed skin. Alpha lipoic acid, lycopene and green tea extracts increase cellular energy and protect against the lipid destruction that causes premature aging skin.

If you struggle with “barely-there” eyelashes, Qwella offers an eyelash tinting treatment which creates more definition and appearance of longer, thicker lashes. We use specially formulated and safe permanent hair tints to achieve a natural look. After, we can send you home with LATISSE, an FDA-approved treatment to grow eyelashes for people with inadequate or not enough lashes or REVITALASH Advanced 3.5, a proprietary blend for more dramatic-looking eyelashes. Daily use provides immediate conditioning benefits; leading to healthier-looking, more luxurious lashes.

Everyone wants beautiful skin and we can get you there, but not all skin care products or regimens are created equal. Age and skin type factor in on what treatments and products will be right for you. Whether you are just beginning your journey of self care or well acquainted with the miracles of medical aesthetics, the professionals at Qwella Medical Spa are available to create a personalized plan just for you and help you on your way to your healthiest, most beautiful self.

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.

At Qwella Medical Spa, in South Jordan, Utah, we offer our clients a full range of facial treatments including fillers, facials, peels, laser treatments and other state-of-the-art services. Contact us today for a free consultation to discuss your concerns and develop a comprehensive facial treatment plan.  

What Can You Do to Prevent Hyperpigmentation?

Getting older is not always a gentle process. While you work hard to eat right and exercise, your skin can make you look years older than you actually are. One of the most common skin issues as you age is Hyperpigmentation. It is generally a harmless condition, however it creates unsightly brown patches on your face, hands, and other areas of the body. These patches are typically caused by sun damage, but there are also other conditions that can cause this pigmentation issue. The most common forms of this condition include:

     

• Solar Lentigines –This is also known as liver spots, which occur because of sun exposure and damage.
• Melasma – This condition looks like age spots but is actually caused by hormonal changes including pregnancy and use of birth control pills.

Top 3 Treatments for HyperpigmentationThere are several different treatment options for Hyperpigmentation including topical creams such as hydroquinone, tretinoin and cortisone cream. Laser treatments are another effective procedure to help reduce the appearance of brown spots.

1.      Venus Viva^™- Another great alternative, which is offered at Qwella Medical Spa, is the Venus Viva^™. This innovative, non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure is a non-surgical approach that helps improve the texture of your skin. The state-of-the-art advanced skin treatment uses NanoFractional^™ Radio Frequency and SmartScan^™ technology to smooth and even the skin surface.It has been shown to reduce the appearance of scars, skin irregularities such as rosacea and Hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, wrinkles, stretch marks and other concerns. This new skin treatment allows our aestheticians to cover large areas of the skin surface in one treatment.

2.      Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) – Also known as Laser Photofacial Treatment, IPL uses intense pulsed light to treat skin with sun damage, excessive redness, and hyperpigmentation. This treatment is effective for treating hyperpigmentation because it penetrates beyond the surface to pull up pigment and stimulates collagen production.

3.      Microneedling with Glymed Diamond Bright Serum – Microneedling is used to control micro-injuries in our skin and produce collagen and elastin. This process improves the appearance of skin irregularities including hyperpigmentation and acne scarring. At Qwella, we use Diamond Bright Skin Lightener in order to control UV induced pigmentation for all skin types!

The Benefits of a Medical Spa

Called “the next generation of the spa industry,” the benefits of a medical spa go beyond skin-deep. Taking a more holistic approach to health and beauty, medical spas strive to make you feel relaxed, healthy, and beautiful both inside and out. Medical spas provide the relaxing environment of traditional spas, combined with medical procedures that used to be performed primarily in a more clinical setting.

The cosmetic treatments and procedures of a medical spa help to “release the beauty within” and alleviate the telltale signs of aging and damaged skin. Offering a combination of spa treatments and medical procedures including chemical peels, laser hair removal and more, Qwella Med Spa delivers competitive prices and lasting results. Many of these procedures were previously only available in a doctor’s office, but thanks to improvements in cosmetic techniques and technology, they can now be performed in a more relaxing spa setting under the care of a medical professional, and in conjunction with other spa services.  

Taking care of your body is a life-long process that can involve various activities, including taking advantage of spa treatments that keep you looking young, healthy, and attractive. Aging, sun exposure, and the general wear-and-tear of life can take a toll on you. At Qwella Medical Spa, we are dedicated to providing services that improve the appearance of your skin and body. Whatever your spa services requirements are, we can address your needs with professionalism and efficiency.

Qwella Medical Spa provides personalized services for both face and body. If you are dealing with premature aging, sagging skin, spider veins, unwanted hair or cosmetic concerns such as wrinkles and fine lines, a medical spa can offer the relaxing spa experience you deserve combined with the procedures that enhance your wellbeing. Qwella features the newest treatment in facial treatment and rejuvenation including Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm.
