October is Breast Cancer Awareness We will be collecting donations to give support to NBCF The Mission Of NBCF NBCF’s mission is to help women now by providing help and inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education and support services. Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women in the United States. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival. However, with increased healthcare costs and a rapidly increasing percentage of uninsured women, many simply cannot afford the cost of screening tests. These women are at a significantly higher risk of dying from breast cancer if later diagnosed. That’s why NBCF provides free mammograms to women in all 50 states through our network of hospitals. We are now joining hands with people around the world to provide breast cancer education.

WHAT’S TRENDING
FALL SKIN REJUVENATION. HOW CHEMICAL PEELS & OTHER PROCEDURES CAN REPAIR YOUR SKIN. Now that we’re well into autumn, that means it’s time for crisp nights, vivid red and gold leaves, and cozying up by the hearth. But cooler weather also exacts a toll on our bodies, with chapped lips and dry skin. A visit to the spa is just the thing to get everything rejuvenated, smoothed and ready for the winter holiday season. Prep yourself with these five autumn spa treatments. Fall is the perfect time to do some serious repair work on your skin that has been exposed to summer’s damaging rays. One of the main components of skin rejuvenation is a heavy exfoliation to remove built up dead skin cells and help stimulate cell turnover-one of the most effective ways to do this is with a chemical peel.
(BHA) based which, once applied, dissolve the dead skin cells on the surface, and penetrate into the lower levels of the skin stimulating an injury response. This prompts increased cell turnover, allowing new skin cells to form. Peels are powerful tools to help rid your skin of fine lines, hyperpigmentation and acne-especially if you are following your esthetician’s recommended frequency of peels and home care protocol. Not all peels are created equal, some go much deeper than others, which is why it’s important to talk to your esthetician.
Chemical peels come in many different shapes and sizes and should be discussed at length with your esthetician before receiving one. At The Body Serene we offer many different types of peels, so we can meet your specific skin care needs. From wrinkles to acne to hyperpigmentation, peels can work magic on your skin!
Is there down time? What should I expect post-peel? Very little downtime is associated with the peels we offer. Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, you may experience some slight redness and tingling during and shortly after your peel. It is of vital importance that you use sunscreen of at least 30 SPF following your peel, reapplying every 2 hours, as your skin will be very sensitive to burns and scarring-it is new skin after all!
How does a chemical peel work? Chemical peels are usually alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and/or beta hydroxy acid
When will I see results? The results from peels vary depending on the type of peel you receive, as well

as your skin’s response. Some people notice immediate results, especially if they are addressing a surface issue such as acne. Your skin will be bright, toned and “glowing” immediately following the peel. The healing response that prompts collagen and elastin production works over time, gradually resulting in more youthful skin. So why is fall the best time for a peel? As the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler , you will likely be outside less and less. As intensive aesthetic treatments usually go deep into the skin and stimulate cell turnover, your skin will need some time to heal and needs to be out of the sun as much as possible-think of yourself as a vampire basically. You’re not going to turn to dust if the sun touches you, but you’re going to do some serious damage to all that beautiful new skin! Fall and winter are the best times to get back on the wagon with your skincare routine in that you’ll 1) be indoors more and be exposed to less of the sun’s damaging rays and 2) see the benefits of your skin care treatments by the time the holidays roll around! And who doesn’t love to look fabulous in holiday pictures?
THE BODY SERENE DAY SPA FALL TOP 5: SKIN REJUVENATION PROCEDURES
#1
Microneedling Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) involves using fine needles to create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of skin. Sound appealing? Not so much. But this minimally invasive treatment— whether it’s done in-office by a trained aesthetician, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon, or at home using a dermaroller (a small handheld device coated in tiny needles)—is virtually painless and incredibly effective. “The micro-injuries you create stimulates the body’s natural wound healing processes, resulting in cell turnover and increased collagen and elastin production, therefore reversing as well as preventing signs of aging,” says board certified dermatologist and Real Self contributor Sejal Shah, MD. (It works the same way lasers do, only you’re injuring the skin mechanically instead of using heat or light.) Believe it or not, micro needling has become hugely popular among skincare fanatics— Vogue is calling it the next big thing in anti-aging. $199
#2

These potent berries are abundant with ellagic acid—a natural tyrosinase inhibitor that in combination with licorice extract and L-Ascrobic Acid, gently modify and brighten epidermal pigmentary disorders as they increase cell turnover and collagen production. $40 (all peels must be combined with facial)
