REMEMBER EYEBROWS?

I used to take my eyebrows for granted.
They were bushy.
When I was a teenager, I had a unibrow.
Tweezing was part of my life.
Now, as you may know, I’m 64 years old.

My eyebrows started thinning out over the past 15 years.
Now I own a med spa.
(I call it my candy store!)

So, I started using Latisse, off label, on my eyebrows.

FABULOUS!

Others are finding out about this, too.
On Savvy Skin, another blog about skin care, here’s what Susan said:

Latisse has worked wonders on my eyebrows.
I am over 60 and have had very thin brows for years.
With 2 months of use I had numerous new brow hairs
and all were normal hairs (not peach fuzz type hairs)
slightly darker than my usual color.
I have been using Latisse for about 6 months
and my brows are fuller than they have been since I was a teen.
I now use it about twice a week to maintain.

Me too!  I hope I don’t get arrested…

bikini !

Our clients often ask about the hair down there!

As trends change, we’ve found our clients are puzzled.

• Is this for me?
• What on earth is _____?
• And the popular:  You mean I’m not the only one with hair there?

Since we are your skin care and laser hair removal gurus,
we feel it is our duty to dismiss the myths,
tell you about the latest trends,
and keep you and your bikini line ready for success.

(First in a series of articles!!!)

THE BRAZILIAN BIKINI DEFINED

There are actually different styles of bikini hair removal.

1. The Basic or Traditional Bikini:
   hair is removed from outside the panty line.
2. The Extended Bikini: like the traditional bikini,
   everything outside the panty PLUS some additional shaping underneath.
   We will also do some grooming closer to the labia
   and the small area we refer to as the “booty cleavage.”
3. The Brazilian Bikini: leaves a vertical strip in front
   (landing strip) 2-3 fingers in width just above the
   vaginal area.  Hair is not removed from the labia.
   Hair is removed from the tush.  Hair may be removed
   from the buttocks (peri-anal) area.  Most importantly,
   hair is removed from your derriere,
   allowing those Brazilian bottoms we are all jealous of
   to shine in their full glory.
4. The Playboy Bikini Wax  (The American Brazilian):
   all hair is removed from the labia, all hair is removed from the tush
   (including the peri-anal area, and only a very narrow strip is left in the front.
5. The Sphinx (Full Bikini Wax):  ALL GONE. Everywhere.Everything.  Bald.
   

No more mystery!  (In definition, or otherwise.)

Frankly, Ageless Elaine had trouble saying “bikini area” 4 years ago when we started Ageless Remedies SouthPark.
Thus, this valuable information was contributed by one of our talented and experienced medical aestheticians.

Let the hair removal begin…

Elaine asks:

• Do you have any questions???
  
• Which style do you prefer, and why?

Really, ladies, let’s talk about this.  Help me understand!
We’ll keep you anonymous, but inquiring minds want to know!

Radiant, young-looking skin

Wild guess:

You want to keep looking as good as possible, even as you get older.

In the DailyComet.com,  Dr. John J. Jones Jr., agrees:

“Most individuals are interested in looking their best,
and patients regularly ask for guidance in facial-skin rejuvenation.
There are many services, procedures and products today
that claim to remarkably improve one’s skin and restore that youthful look.”

At our medspa, we recommend you follow a customized skin care regimen.
In Dr. Jones’ words: “I have found the most successful treatment
is a combination of chemical peels, microdermabrasion,
… and a tretinoin cream or gel.”

You can achieve skin that

• looks younger
• is firmer and tighter
• has fewer lines, wrinkles and discolorations

1. The Peel

“Chemical peeling is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles caused by sun damage,
aging and hereditary factors. In addition, pigmentation of the skin
in the form of sunspots, age spots, freckles and blotchiness
can be improved with this process.

An effective professional treatment is … (a peel to remove) unwanted damaged skin.
The chemical solution actually causes the upper layer of skin to exfoliate,
allowing new skin to regenerate.”

2. Post Treatment Home Care

“Post-peel treatment will enhance the results of your chemical peel.
It is very important that you wear sunblock after the deeper peels —
since the new skin is fragile and more susceptible to injury —
and that you use a tretinoin-based gel or cream on a regular basis.

The tretinoin cream or gel is a vitamin A derivative approved
for reducing the appearance of fine wrinkles, mottled darkened spots and roughness in skin.”

He is a an assistant professor at Louisiana State University Medical Center in New Orleans.

Does Your Face Look Like This?

Do You Have Rosacea?

*Do you have light skin, blue eyes, blond hair?
*Do you blush easily?
*Does  your skin react to sudden temperature changes?
To sun exposure?
*Do you experience redness if you drink alcohol?
*Do you experience redness is you eat a meal too quickly,
or if it’s too spicy, or too hot?
*Do you have permanent or almost permanent redness on your face?
*Does your face show small dilated blood vessels?
*Have you noticed pimple-like lesions on your  redness areas?

If you answered “yes” to at least 3 of these questions,
you may be suffering from rosacea.

You don’t have to live with it.

Photofacials help.  So does the Obagi Rosaclear kit.

Our medspa bridges the gap between medicine and beauty,
between rosacea and a clear complexion.

Do You Have Sensitive Skin?

Frequently, clients come to our medspa concerned about their
“sensitive skin.”

According to April’s Skin Inc.,  “the term “sensitive” is one that has been
in the consumer vocabulary for decades, yet it’s generally used
incorrectly…”

This article points out that “Every person’s skin is a fluid, dynamic river
of shifting conditions that are influenced by environment, diet,
stress levels and lifestyle…skin requires regular professional monitoring
in order to adjust product recommendations. 
This is the valued role of the professional skin therapist.”

YES!

And there’s more: “Sensitization can occur as the result of
aggressive procedures and products that are often used in
reckless combination by clients
without out the supervision of a skin therapist.”

Please consult an aesthetician and follow a skin care regimen
customized for YOU and YOUR SKIN.

Do YOU have sensitive skin?

• tight?
• dry?
• blotchy?

Does everything you try, even the expensive stuff, make you break out?
