Providing 5-star quality service involves active listening, respect, effective communication and a smile. Jessica strives to anticipate the needs of Skiin’s guests and to offer recommendations to resolve any concerns.

The eye area does so much for your facial structure. Whether it’s a lash lift to open up your eyes, or microblading/ ombre shading to make you look 10 years younger. Olivia’s artistic background makes it easy to customize each and every eye transformation.

Plasma energy has been around for a long time in the medical industry but, recently, the FDA cleared it for treating fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment, which can be effective for years, should only be in the hands of a physician.

CHRIS ZAJDEL

Chris Zajdel is the owner and founder of Skiin Anti-Aging Lounge and has been working in the aesthetics industry for over 20 years. After a long winter spent inside, how can people get in shape for swimsuit season? I would definitely recommend our Skiingym services. We offer CoolSculpting, which permanently freezes and destroys your fat for a long-lasting result. Along with that, we have Emsculpt, which builds intermuscle and strength in the core, glutes and buttocks, or arms and calves. Pairing CoolSculpting with Emsculpt is a home run – the results yield a very high satisfaction rate. What about improving your facial look? People are now revealing what’s underneath the mask, so to speak. Wearing those masks all the time, a lot of people have suffered from acne and very dry, irritated skin. Our membership program includes a monthly oxygen infusion facial, along with our skin care products to help with that. And then of course, we offer our cosmetic services. Botox is always popular. The results are outstanding for fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. Filler is also popular to build some volume in the lips and perk up the cheeks.

Q&A Milan Laser Hair Removal

MILAN LASER HAIR REMOVAL Colleen Papek, the COO at Milan Laser, answers frequently asked questions. What are the benefits of laser hair removal?

Where do we start? There are so many! We’ll start with the obvious one and why people choose it: permanent results. Results from shaving and waxing are temporary, and hair returns in a few days or weeks. The average Milan Laser client, however, is over 95% hair-free within seven to 10 treatments. Laser hair removal is also less painful than other hair removal methods. Waxing hurts – laser hair removal feels like a quick rubber band snap against the skin that fades instantly. How does laser hair removal work? Light from the laser targets pigment in the hair, and the heat safely and effectively destroys the hair follicle – quite literally, it gets to the root of the problem. Because the follicle’s destroyed, hair can’t grow again, ever. How long does the laser hair removal process take? Is there a recovery time? Individual treatments are quick and easy, and there’s no downtime. Some people get their treatments done over lunch breaks. The overall laser hair removal process time varies. Why choose laser hair removal over other options, such as waxing? Two big reasons: time and money! By committing to waxing and shaving, you’re sucked into a bottomless pit of expenses and time wasted. The average person spends 39 hours a year shaving, about $3,800 in a lifetime on shaving essentials, and $15,000 in a lifetime on waxing appointments. All that for temporary results! Alternatively, laser hair removal offers permanent results, and the cost of laser hair removal is more budget-friendly than you think. Do your research, and if you can, choose a provider that offers interest-free laser hair removal payment plans as well as unlimited treatments at one affordable price like Milan Laser offers.

Q&A

STEFANIE CORBETT

Stefanie, otherwise known as “Head Honcho,” the original High Brow Girl and the founder of this esthetic empire, is a licensed esthetician with almost 20 years in the game. What makes High Brow unique? Every client of High Brow benefits from our unparalleled talent and knowledge. Each client receives a customized service, including an education on the service provided and a quick lesson on how to replicate the results at home. Our team brings talent, know-how and a dash of charm to every client. How has High Brow grown since its inception? When I started High Brow 10 years ago, I had a staff of one (me!) and one treatment room. After just six months, I hired our first esthetician, Shannon, who is still with us today. Since then, we have grown to a team of 13, and grown from one treatment room to five. And we have expanded our services menu to offer a wide variety of medically-based esthetic services, along with phyto and aromatherapy. What does it take to be a High Brow Girl? PASSION! Our team is exceptional for many reasons, but ultimately it comes back to passion. Passion for their craft, passion for their clients, and passion in their commitment to excellence. What inspired you to open High Brow? When I first opened High Brow, there were very few esthetic-focused boutiques or spas. Salon services were the focus, with the spa treated as an afterthought, creating a lack of advanced treatments and education. As a result, estheticians would bounce from spa to spa looking for something bigger, better and more rewarding. I opened High Brow to create an environment where esthetics would be the star, supported by a focus on ongoing education and a standard of excellence. What would you recommend to anyone looking to get started as an esthetician? Do your research! Find a program that suits your learning style and then find a salon or spa that aligns with your interests. Apply for an entry-level position in reception or in dispense. Here, you can truly be part of the team while you receive your initial training. You will know right away if it is the place for you. There’s a perfect place for everyone out there!

Visage Facial Plastic Surgery

ANAND D. PATEL, MD

Anand D. Patel, MD is a double board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in procedures of the face and neck. He opened Visage Facial Plastic Surgery in 2014. Why did you choose to specialize in facial plastic surgery? In medical school, I was drawn to the anatomy and artistry of face and neck surgery. There are few areas of the body so physically complex and emotionally loaded. I find it very rewarding to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals by delaying the aging process or addressing cosmetic concerns they may have had their whole lives. What procedures do you perform the most? I perform cosmetic surgery on all parts of the face and neck, but my three most common procedures are nose reshaping surgery (rhinoplasty), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and facelift surgery. What is your general approach to nose reshaping surgery (rhinoplasty)? It is possible for a nose to both look good and breathe well, and I strive for both in all my rhinoplasty patients. I want to make noses look more contoured and proportionate to a patient’s face. The nose should look natural and blend into the face. However, it is also very important that we address

any present or potential nasal airway issues during the procedure. What is your general approach to eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)? The eyes are the main attraction of the face, so a change here can make a big impact. Both appearance and function are important factors to consider. We want eyelids that look natural, smooth and youthful with volume enhancement in all the right areas. We want to preserve eyelid strength and tone for healthy eye closure. Our results make patients look more awake, alert and refreshed. What is your general approach to facelift surgery? I want to make patients look younger, not different. Our goal is to turn back the clock 10 years for a patient. Going too far back can make a patient look strange or overdone. I never want my patients to look or feel that way. I utilize relatively newer deep plane techniques that provide a more powerful and natural-appearing lift. A smoother neckline and jawline bring great confidence

and happiness to many of my patients. How can patients look younger without surgery? I recommend my patients devote time to prevention and ongoing maintenance. Good skin care with cleansers, moisturizers and sun protection from an early age makes a big difference over the course of your lifetime. Periodic skin resurfacing treatments like chemical peels or lasers can replenish youthful cells on the skin surface. Botox will hold off wrinkles that form with certain facial expressions. There is a common misconception that botox will freeze your face, but you can tailor the treatment to just soften expressions. Soft tissue fillers are great for restoring volume in areas around the eyes, mouth and cheeks. All in all, there are many great non-invasive treatments to consider.
