SPRING INTO BEAUTIFUL SKIN

By miCHeLLe DesanTis

While you are saying goodbye to the winter blues and hello to spring, are you like me and wondering if your skin is prepared for what it’s about to experience? The winter takes a toll on your skin with dryness and sensitivity. We must prepare for the nice weather. I’ve rounded up some local businesses to help get your skin ready for spring.

NORTHEAST LASER VEIN INSTITUTE Warmer weather means less clothing. Now is the best time to say goodbye to unwanted hair! Northeast Laser Vein Institute is known for being the best for laser hair removal. It is quick, painless, precise and permanent. The heat and sun can irritate the skin after a treatment, so be sure not to wait too long.

J ON MADISON Get a facial at J on Madison. Cold weather leaves skin dry and sensitive. Getting a facial will help rejuvenate the skin and leave you looking plump and healthy. Oxygen facials are infused with moisture-rich hyaluronic serums that are ideal for spring. Nancy at J on Madison is an amazing esthetician that will cater to your specific needs.

AESTHETICA MEDSPA Microneedling, or the vampire facial, is the hottest beauty procedure right now. Aesthetica Medspa knows how to do microneedling the right way. The process involves a pen with tiny needles to create wounds to the skin. These wounds are miniscule, but your body will respond by sending healing signals to mend. You’ll be able to tell the difference after one treatment; however, a package of three is recommended. The benefits of microneedling are to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, scars, sun damage and more. The best time to get this treatment is before the summer starts since you won’t be able to go in the sun.
