Self Care through skin care
by CreekSide Day Spa
Whether you want a special glow or you simply need a daily skincare routine, choosing the right products and regimen that is best for your skin is a vital step to achieving your goals. CreekSide Day Spa has been beauty and skincare focused for the past 25 years. We asked them to share their history, expertise, and a few of their favorite products and services.
Q: Please share the services you specialize in, and how long you’ve been in operation.
A: We specialize in “self care.” From full body massages to all things skin health. CreekSide has been in operation since 1998, as one of the Valley’s first medispas!
Q: What is the importance of skin health and are there any misconceptions people have around it?
A: Your skin is your largest organ. It protects absolutely everything on the inside, so it’s very important to take care of it. Everybody’s skin is different, but right now social media is so popular that people will buy products that are “trending” or “viral” when it’s not always the best product for them. It’s really important to see a skincare specialist to find what’s right for you.
Q: Are there any new products or innovative tools in your industry that you’re excited about?
A: We LOVE ZO products! We can create a customized protocol for any skin type and concern. We recently brought in two brand-new HydraFacial Machines that include LightStim Technology. This 2-in-1 treatment can ensure you are glowing on any occasion!
Q: What tips would you give someone to help find their best skincare routine?
A: First, we recommend consulting with a skin care specialist since everybody’s skin is unique. We do offer complimentary consultations, where product and treatment recommendations are customized to your individual goals and needs. Ongoing care also ensures you are getting the best results.
Q: Are there any services, products or routines you would recommend to a bride and groom that would help them on their big day?
A: We recommend building skincare into your budget from the start and scheduling a consultation immediately. Skin concerns take time to correct and maintain. This also applies to facials, we recommend starting facials regularly to ensure you have the perfect treatment for your skin! You should never have a facial for the very first time the week of your wedding.
Another great stop is our Laser Center that offers a variety of treatments for face and body! Botox injections performed by one of our skilled nurses, trained by Dr. Stevens, are an excellent treatment to have done weeks prior to the big day to ensure you are picture perfect. We actually recommend starting treatments months prior to ensure the results are exactly what you want.
It is not uncommon for the bride and groom to be nervous on their big day. And nerves often means sweat. A great treatment for this is underarm (axilla) Botox! Botox is FDA-approved to treat excessive sweating, which means one less thing to worry about on the big day.
And don’t forget about the honeymoon! Laser hair removal is a great option to ensure smooth skin for both your wedding day and all honeymoon long. It is important to start laser hair removal as soon as possible to ensure the best results—it takes multiple treatments for removal.
Q: Is there anything else you'd like to share with us?
A: It is always important to remember everyone is different, and skin health is a lifestyle change! Our top three takeaways: the sooner you start, the better; consistency is key; and give yourself grace. Don’t wait until you have concerns you want to correct. Start with prevention and maintenance. Great skincare is important for anyone—any age, any skin type.
