Revox™ 7’s age-defying, oil-free serum is uniquely formulated to reduce the appearance of expression lines on the face. Revox™ 7 works by incorporating clinical levels of 7 different peptides which reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Expression lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth will be softened with use of this product. Revox™ 7 is an improvement over its predecessor, Revox™ II, because it contains the newest peptide technology at higher levels. Revox™ 7 benefits all skin types and works well with in-office treatments, like the Venus Viva & Legacy laser treatments.

• Venus Viva Treatment - A non-invasive procedure used for wrinkles, acne scarring, large pores, uneven texture, stretch marks, and pigment irregularity. A handheld device sends energy below the surface of the skin, which heats the cells and stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. Effective for hyperpigmentation, fine lines, uneven skin tone, scarring, and melasma.

• Venus Legacy Treatment - The best option for combating stubborn fat areas and cellulite. Skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and cellulite reduction occur because the multi-polar radio frequency causes a thermal reaction in the tissue which stimulates the body’s natural healing response. This restoring response causes the skin to contract, achieving tighter skin, softening of wrinkles, and reduced cellulite. Non-invasive and painless, with many patients comparing the treatment to a hot-stone massage! Treatments take approximately 30-40 minutes depending on the area, you can expect to see results as the treatments progress, a minimum of 6 treatments for the face, 8 on the neck and 10 on the body.

Youth in a Bottle: REVISION Retinol Complete™

It's completely natural to want to have a more youthful appearance. Some lucky people look young for their age, while others appear old before their time. A proper skin care routine and the right products can make a huge difference in whether you age gracefully or just look weathered. Fortunately, REVISION makes a skin care line that can stop time, or at least appear to.

Features and Benefits of REVISION Retinol Complete

This revolutionary facial serum contains the power of five antioxidants and includes a proprietary blend of botanical extracts that enhance the effects of Retinol (pure Vitamin A) for reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Due to time-released Retinol you get maximum effectiveness with minimal irritation. This “youth” serum will brighten, plump and smooth the texture of even the dullest of skin.

How Does it Work?

   

REVISION Retinol Complete™ boosts your skin’s hydration level with Sesame Extract and Ophiopogon japonicas Root Extract, to help combat the dryness normally associated with Retinol. If you experience redness, irritation or excessive dryness, reduce frequency of usage. Retinol may cause some skin types to peel initially and can increase skin’s sensitivity to the sun. We recommend using sunscreen, or a product containing SPF daily, but especially when using this product.

Can it Work For Me?

Although results may vary from person to person, REVISION Retinol Complete™ works best on mature and oily skin types, but is formulated for all skin types. Results of a clinical study showed 100% of subjects experienced an improvement in the appearance of fine lines. The results are based on subjects using REVISION Retinol Complete™ once daily in the evening in combination with REVISION Vitamin C Lotion 30% once daily in the morning. It is not recommended to use REVISION Retinol Complete™ while pregnant or breastfeeding. Studies have shown that high amounts of Vitamin A during pregnancy may have detrimental effects.

Early use of products containing pure Retinol will help to combat fine lines and wrinkles before they become noticeable. With consistent and continual use, Retinol is effective in fighting the signs of aging.

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.

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.

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.

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.
