Ageless Remedies Med Spa and Laser Center’s Staff Featured!

Here’s what owner Elaine Greenberg says about the staff in Skin Inc.:

Our staff is the best.

They take pride in their accomplishments and so do we, the owners…
Everybody has a stake in the overall team performance.

Every Friday morning, we have a staff meeting.
Everyone is required to attend—estheticians, physician, front desk staff,
spa manager, owner/marketing director.
The agenda may be educational, keeping us all on the cutting edge
of technological developments, or open discussions about what we can do better
as a team…

Furthermore, product reps often come (with lunch) to present a new line
or review or update us on one we already carry.
Manufacturer reps/trainers come so we are up-to-date on laser
and IPL protocols. We offer microdermabrasion, chemical peels,
fractional laser skin rejuvenations, laser vein treatment
and laser hair removal. Additionally, everyone is encouraged
to use all the products so we can experience the results first-hand.

However, the most popular(events) are the quarterly celebrations.
When we have a successful quarter, we party.
We go out and eat, drink, and have a great time!

Soooo proud and happy!
Skin Inc. magazine is the leading industry publication for day spa,
medical spa and wellness professionals,
providing timely information about spa business solutions, skin science,
spa treatment trends, and much more.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Comments, I get comments…
Ageless Elaine often hears from professionals in the aesthetics field
via LinkedIn.

Here are some comments I received on my post
“Breaking Up Is Hard To Do”
about the importance of having skin care professionals
evaluate your regimen when it no longer seems effective.

From a Physician

I’ve seen far too much damage done to skin
by people that persist in products that do not work,
or worse, start increasing the concentration.

A more likely explanation for no improvement
is continued skin aging which may call for
an entirely different approach
rather than burning the skin
with a higher concentration of acid or harsh chemicals!
Dr Marguerite Barnett

From Other Writers in the Aesthetics Industry

I’m not an esthetician, but have the utmost respect for them…
I think that the more information and education
is made available to the consumer, both the industry,
its practitioners and consumer all benefit…
thanks for the helpful hints and reminders…

Wonderful insight! I’ve found that about 30% of the time
when someone tells me a product doesn’t work
its because they are not using it correctly.
Posted by Deborah Chase

From a Chemist

Dear Elaine,
Increasing the concentration of an active ingredient
is not the answer. More is NOT always better.
Furthermore, there is a sensitivity threshold
for people with sensitive skin AND for clients with acne.

Human skin most certainly gets used to products.
No one ever needs to switch away from
their favourite cleanser or toner,
but treatment products which follow
should be adjusted seasonally, as well as intermittently
in order to continue producing results.

I don’t know how else to support
this except by 20 years of experiential proof.

Sincerely,
Soraya Ali-Hope, B.Sc. Chem.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

First in a series.

There are many recommended skin care habits universally deemed “good” for you.

But, sometimes you may have too much of a good thing.

According to the Skincare-news.com team,
some “good” skin care habits may actually be more detrimental than helpful.

Habit: Adhering to the Same Skin Care Routine

Daily routines of cleansing and moisturizing are vital
for maintaining healthy skin and avoiding clogged pores,
breakouts and thirsty skin.

BUT:

While consistency is key, it can lead to
lackluster skin and little to no improvement
because your skin becomes used to the same products.

SO:

Change Your Routine!

Try a higher concentration of ingredients.

If a topical treatment with 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide
isn’t doing the trick for your acne,
try one with 5 percent.

If a cleanser with 15 percent glycolic acid still leaves your skin looking dull,
try one with 20 percent.

Have you noticed this?

Tell me your experience in the comment box.

Listen to your skin and adjust for the seasons as necessary.
Better yet, ask your aesthetician at Ageless Remedies SouthPark!

Winter's Here

Winterize Your Skin!

Cold winter weather has arrived.
Dermatologist  David Green M.D.  shares these thoughts
for winterizing your skin to  maintain
glowing skin during the  harsh winter months.

Help your skin survive the winter season!

• HYDRATE

During the winter months, your skin will be most susceptible to dehydration.
This is because cold dry air depletes your skin of moisture.
You may need to upgrade your moisturizer
or enhance your current moisturizer with a hydrating serum.

Time to check in with your aesthetician at our med spa
to adjust your skin care regimen.

• EXFOLIATE

Yes, it is still important to exfoliate during the winter months.
Getting rid of those dead, dry cells in the outermost layer of your skin
will make it appear more radiant.  A professional microdermabrasion
or chemical peel package at our med spa  will
keep your skin healthy and glowing.

In addition, your moisturizer will penetrate more thoroughly
and provide greater benefit.

• PROTECT

Use your sun screen.
Just because you are no longer  laying out by the pool
does not mean you are not exposing your skin to UV rays.
UV rays are present all year round.

Dr. Green’s got it goin’ on!

Seriously, following his advice will minimize the
potential damage that dry winter weather can do.

Our own line of Ageless Remedies Skin Care Products
will be customized just for you — and the season.
