A Whole Level of Gorgeousness

A Whole

NEW LEVEL OF GORGEOUSNESS

You look beautiful every day (duh!)…but your wedding day? That’s on a whole new level of gorgeousness.

On the most important day of your life, looking and feeling fabulous is an absolute necessity. There are people to see, pictures to take, and of course it’s the first day your person will be able to call you his wife. It’s more than just looking great; it’s feeling great at those special moments that really matter. So here’s a list of some helpful ways to get to that place!

CoolSculpting® is a completely non-invasive and non-surgical fat reduction treatment. It doesn’t involve any sedation, anesthesia, incisions, or discomfort. There is no downtime, and the majority of patients don’t feel anything beyond a cooling sensation during treatment. CoolSculpting® uses cryolipolysis, which is a technical way to say fat-freezing. When fat cells freeze, they die and are then naturally eliminated through the body’s natural process. This process happens so gradually that patients don’t even notice a difference in their day-to-day life. Coolsculpting can also be used on the chin, underarms, upper arms, back, thighs, hips, and buttocks.

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive technique that uses highly concentrated light to penetrate hair follicles. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft in the follicle-generating heat which damages the follicle to inhibit future hair growth. Therefore, plucking hair before treatment reduces the

efficacy of the laser treatment as the target is absent. Because laser hair removal only affects actively growing hair follicles, it may take several laser hair removal treatments to provide significant hair reduction. Additionally, while laser hair removal effectively slows hair growth, it doesn’t guarantee permanent hair removal. Periodic maintenance treatments may be needed.

Dermabrasion and dermaplaning help to “refinish” the skin’s top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping. The treatments soften the sharp edges of surface irregularities, giving the skin a smoother appearance. Dermabrasion

is most often used to improve the look of facial skin left scarred by accidents or previous surgery, or to smooth out fine facial wrinkles. It’s also sometimes used to remove the pre-cancerous growths called keratoses. Dermaplaning is also commonly used to treat deep acne scars. Both dermabrasion and dermaplaning can be performed on small areas of skin or on the entire face.

The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, sometimes referred to as “Botox”, is a popular injectable that temporarily reduces or eliminates facial fine lines and wrinkles. The most commonly treated areas are frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet near the eyes. Botulinum toxin is a purified substance that’s derived from bacteria. Injections of botulinum toxin block the nerve signals to the muscle in which it was injected. Without a signal, the muscle is not able to contract. The result is diminished unwanted facial wrinkles or appearance. Commonly known types of botulinum toxin type A injections include Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau®.

Laser skin resurfacing, also known as a laser peel, laser vaporization, and lasabrasion, can reduce facial wrinkles, scars, and blemishes. Newer laser technologies allow a new level of control in laser surfacing, permitting extreme precision, especially in delicate areas. Your provider uses the laser to send short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregular skin. This removes unwanted, damaged skin in a very precise manner one layer at a time. Laser skin resurfacing’s targeted approach means there are fewer problems with hypopigmentation, or a lightening of skin, for procedures such as laser acne scar removal. ™
