Skin Treatments: Single vs. Package – Just One Wont Get The Job Done

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Healthy and beautiful skin is a result of discipline and consistency.

The best skin treatments will not deliver the desired results if tried only once.

Many clients of medical or day spas expect stellar and long term results after a single treatment.

They get offended when offered a package of treatments, as if they are being taken advantage of.

In reality a true professional will always educate a client that long term and optimal results require a committment of at least few sessions.

When you want to lose weight and/or gain muscle mass you excercise. Do you expect the results you desire after just one session in the gym or with your trainer?

Your skin deserves the same consistant care as your fabulous body.

Committ to the best treatment(s) that are suggested by your selected professional. Invest in a package of services to maximize the results.

You will be amazed at what you can achieve when you combine new technology and your dedication.

Committment never looked so good!

Anti Aging Laser Treatments-What You Can Do Today To Look Just As Good Tomorrow

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Last night I looked over my old pictures. I smiled as I revisited the ghosts from the past.

I am lucky to have many good memories.

I looked at photos of myself from when I was 19 and I can honestly say that I have not changed much in the 10+years since then. Most people when they meet me think I am 22 and are surprised to hear I am a thirty years old woman.

I am lucky to have good genes.

I am also lucky to work in the beauty industry and have the opportunity to take advantage of cutting edge laser treatments and products.

Would I look just as young if I did not educate myself about my skin, its needs and available options?

Would I still get carded when buying lottery tickets if I did not invest in preventing the signs of aging?

Even with amazing genes running in the family, I am sure the reflexion I see in the mirror would look significantly more “mature.”

It is a lot easier and more cost effective to prevent the early signs of aging, rather than fix the damage that is already done and clearly “staring us in the face.”

Preventative care and cutting edge laser technology is no longer available only to the lucky few and privileged.

Why do I see so many women wait till it is almost too late to make a signigficant change in their appearance? Why do they wait until they are left with few limited and expensive options to turn back the clock?

Don’t turn back the clock…stop it!

Curious to find out what you can do today to look just as good tomorrow?

Leave me comments with your areas of concern and any questions you might have and I will post my answers for you tomorrow.

Cellulite is Stubborn!

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Healthy diet and regular exercise are not enough to fight this enemy of firm and smooth thighs and buttocks.

We have to get multiple weapons in this difficult fight with the “dimple.”

  1. Start with healthy diet and regular exercise but incorporate laser cellulite reducing treatments to give you the results you desire.

Laser cellulite reducing treatments done on regular bases significantly reduce the appearance of cellulite and firm the area treated.

2. Every day in the shower dry brush your thighs and buttocks to improve circulation and follow your shower with a massage of targeted areas with anti-cellulite cream or gel.

3. During the summer use self tanning lotion to keep skin golden, it optically reduces the appearance of cellulite.

Win the battle with cellulite with few simple steps and dare-to-bare this summer!

Laser Hair Removal – Speeding the Evolution

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Our ancestors resembled hairy monkeys and although the evolution did make us less challenged in the “looks” department, in comparison, we still lack the super smooth skin we so much desire.

Laser hair removal is speeding the evolution process that is taking a few too many millions of years, if you ask me, and is giving us hair free skin today!

In the world of instant gratification and life that moves at the speed of light, who has time to wait between waxing appointments or spend extra time in the shower shaving each morning?

The beauty of laser hair removal is its effectiveness and permanent results. Once you commit to the treatments you will see virtually permanent reduction in hair re-growth.

On average you must commit to at least 6 sessions per area treated, but it is a small time investment knowing that you will be “hair free” for the rest of your life.

Ladies, you know what a pain, especially in the summer, it is to wait between your waxing appointments for the hair to re-grow that necessary ¼ of an inch. Shaving each morning is a waste of time and a nuisance. Did someone mention ingrowns and bikini bumps? I bet you will not be missing those.

Some of you will be initially turned off by the price of laser hair removal. I got some interesting information for you that just might change your mind.

In New York City average price of bikini wax is about $35 dollars. Most of us have it done on monthly bases. That gives you $420 per year. If you start your waxing when you are 18, you will get it done for about 42 years. That gives you a whopping $17,640 by the time you are 60 years old.

More than $17,000 is spent on waxing just one small body part.

Laser hair removal in comparison will cost you on average $6000 to remove all body hair, in less than a year-virtually for life!

It is the most cost effective, result proven, and super long lasting solution to unwanted hair.

Smooth skin is always in style and these days with the reasonable prices for laser hair removal, it is easy to achieve.

Silky smooth skin everyday feels amazing.

Having the power to “evolve” today –priceless!

Tattoo Removal – Nothing Lasts Forever

Monday, July 20th, 2009

What was once a sign of rebellion, love or self-expression is quickly turning into a sign of regret. We would like to forget about what we liked, who we loved and sometimes who we were. Start fresh and remove the signs of the “way you were.” The newest laser tattoo removal technology makes it easier and faster to remove that unwanted tattoo quickly and effectively.

Ask for a q-switched infrared laser when removing your tattoo. Q-switch lasers are capable of producing a brief, powerful pulse of energy and are the most effective for tattoo removal.

Laser tattoo removal strives to remove all evidence of tattoo color and image, and is the most advanced technology available to achieve optimal result.

You must commit to an average of 7-10 treatments and you will see the most noticeable lightening after the first treatment.

The process is uncomfortable but MedSpa specializing in tattoo removal should have a nurse practitioner or a doctor on board to be able to inject you with Lidocaine to decrease the level of discomfort. Topical numbing creams are also available and the treatment itself is usually pretty quick.

During your initial consultation ask to see before and after photos of previous tattoo removal procedures done at the MedSpa.

Each client and each tattoo is different, make sure you are treated like an individual case and treatments are customized to your needs.

Need that tattoo gone? Your wish is our command! Laser technology makes your tattoo a thing of the past.

Skin Pigmentation – Cause, Solution, Resolution

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Hyperpigmentation is one of the most popular skin concerns. Recent “Self” magazine mentioned new study of hyperpigmentation from Johnson & Johnson in Skillman NJ. According to their research darker complexions have a higher level of inflammation mediators, proteins that build up in skin and possibly produce pigment. Those mediators fuel blotches by rushing into inflamed skin.

So what is one to do? If you are prone to hyperpigmentation avoid any form of inflammation at all cost.

Stay away from abrasive scrubs whose gritty texture might cause microscopic cuts in your skin and cause irritation. Chemical peel will be your best option. It will gently exfoliate the skin and over time lighten the hyperpigmentation. Series of treatments is recommended for optimal results. You will be very happy with results.

Finding the best Laser Hair Removal Center in New York City

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Our customers agree, Sensitive Touch MedSpa, located in a lovely penthouse overlooking Midtown Manhttan, is the very best when it comes to removing unwanted hair. Our laser hair removal treatment uses the latest in laser technology to remove unwanted hair from anywhere on your body for both men and women.

If you are new to New York City or just visiting, you are going to want to consider all your options.

With over 240 laser hair removal centers in New York City you have plenty of choices, however, not all treatments are same. Here are some helpful tips to use when choosing a laser hair removal center.

1) Shop around before you choose a laser hair removal practitioner. Not all clinics and clinicians are the same. Ultimately, you will want to select one that is both within your price range and seems the most qualified.

2) Ask about prices and procedures over the phone. Some clinics will try to make you come in for a consultation before they give you any further information. If you want to go that route, make sure the consultation is free. There are plenty of other laser hair removal clinics and spas that offer free consultations.

3) Find out what kind of laser the practitioner will be using. If you have darker skin, you will need to find a clinic with a Yag laser, which has the longer wavelength necessary for darker skin.

4) Compare prices on a level playing field. You may find that one place charges more, but also recommends fewer treatments than another place. Some spas use lower-frequency lasers and frequent treatments, meaning you will need to return more often.

5) Choose the practitioner you trust with your body. If the technician makes you feel uncomfortable for any reason or the clinic refuses to answer your questions, then go somewhere else. While this may be a cosmetic procedure, you should still select someone you trust to perform it.

6) Look into the fine print of any special promotions. You don’t want to start treatment only to have the prices increased down the line. Ask the clinic if it offers any pre-paid plans for a series of treatments.

Changing Faces of Michael Jackson – Individual Obsession or Increasing Trend?

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

The whole world has immersed itself in the Michael Jackson Memorial. Millions of people all over the world are saying their final “good-byes” to the man that has fascinated us all, as much with his music genius as his ever changing appearance.

As our society continues its obsession with everlasting youth and increasing importance of outside appearance, I wonder how far away are we from morphing into our own versions of Michael?

Looking at the reflection in the mirror do we find comfort in seeing the “old” familiar face or are we frightened “to death” by the passage of time imprinted in our once smooth complexions?

I am endlessly fascinated by our constant need for change, yet we find it ever more difficult to accept the natural changes that occur with our bodies. Living our lives surrounded by “artificial reality”, we are slowly losing our natural instincts and natural beauties.
