hen you look into your closet and nothing looks appealing, the idea of shopping for your new favorite skirt or top is an outing you look forward to—a little adventure or pick-me-up. Nowadays, however, that humdrum feeling of not finding anything to feel happy about in my closet is the same way I feel sometimes when I see my face in the mirror. Why do the bags under my eyes have to be so dark? Why are my cheeks so full toward the lower half of my face? Why can’t I just buy something that will make me look the way I looked just a few years ago?

This issue of Le Nouveau Moi focuses on the solutions to renew the youthful beauty of your face that are as simple as a trip to the mall, just by investigating our health and beauty professionals’ specialties like Dr. Faludi of Aesthetic Medical Center’s Dermal Fillers and Dr. Sundin of MBody’s Ultherapy. Who knew it could be so easy?

And what to do about that limp, lifeless hair...? Maybe hair extensions are something you might be interested in. Read about your options with Colour Bar Studios and how they can give you a full, thick head of hair.

Julie Holland is back to give us spring’s trending tips while Cindy Pavell shows us how to get those abdominals toned. And Nuha Handoush from Astoria Laser Clinic and Med Spa tells us about how to treat melasma.

Be sure to see our feature story on skin and hair products that our beauty and health professionals swear by. You’ll see a number of new faces in our Tysons community sharing their beauty secrets.

Speaking of beauty secrets, don’t miss our first edition of Sparkle where we highlight a local beauty in our community and learn a little bit about her. This issue’s beauty is the comedic Jan King. Read her article on page 18...Enjoy!

Trendsetter or cautious

observer- these 3 trends of spring/summer 2015 are for everyone: cool, calming neutrals; large floral prints; and denim.

It’s all in how you apply the trend!

These cool colors, such as “aquamarine”

and “glacier gray”, as reported by Pantone, are a soothing connection to nature, and can be paired with warm, earthy neutrals, or kept in the cooler family as I have done.

But don’t forget-- it’s ok to be more adventurous and mix brighter pastels into the look, for a fun contrast!

Ah, denim...trusty denim. From the sleek classics, to the deconstructed and bedazzled, there really is something for everyone. Keep it simple with a basic denim layer, as I have done, or go with denim on denim. It’s ok to mix a dark wash with light, or throw in a ripped, patched statement piece with an otherwise classic outfit.

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive procedure FDAcleared to lift skin on the neck, THE NONface, under the chin and on the INVASIVE eyebrow. Now also FDA-cleared to LIFT improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage, Ultherapy can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful look from your brow to your chest!

Ultherapy uses safe, time-tested ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin naturally—without surgery or downtime.

Ultherapy uses sound energy - tried-and-true ultrasound - which has unique properties that allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat depths not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. Ultherapy ultrasound stimulates collagen production in the skin’s foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over 2-3 months.

HOW IT WORKS

Ultherapy® An Uplift, not a Facelift!

DURING YOUR TREATMENT

142

After cleansing the skin and identifying the specific areas to be treated, your Ultherapy practitioner will apply the ultrasound gel and place the bf against your skin. Next, your provider will smooth treatment applicator use Ultherapy’s ultrasound imaging first to see deep within the skin to determine optimal placement of the treatment energy, and then deliver the focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin’s surface.

Le Nouveau Moi

w 2015

NO TOXINS OR NEEDLES

Unlike lasers, radio frequency, surgery and other technologies, non-surgical Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver the right amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths and the right temperature. This energy triggers a natural response under the skin, jumpstarting the regenerative process that produces fresh, new collagen.

JUST A SINGLE TREATMENT Just one non-invasive Ultherapy速 treatment helps counteract the effects of time, gravity and sun exposure without downtime.

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT With Ultherapy, there is no downtime! You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any post-treatment restrictions or requirements.

Your skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.

During the treatment delivery, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.

your face scrupulously clean!

I love those facial scrubbers… great for the circulation!

Exercise:

Moisturizers:

6.

Use them every day! Did you ever notice how reconditioning cream can take a lot of the creases out of leather? I rest my briefcase!!

7. You’re all going to hate me for these, but they are vitally important to keep your skin young and healthy:

Avoid the sun

(use a sunscreen of at least 30 daily), don’t smoke, and do very little drinking! Alcohol dries the body from the inside out. It bloats the skin and makes it saggy before its time.

There Auto BE A LAW

There are so many clichés about lame

cars that older people drive, as well as their bad driving habits, I’m wondering just

what kind of car I should be driving now that I’m 65 plus?

18

What I really want to buy is a hot, red Jaguar convertible that would make me feel 30 again. Not to mention rich. Social security is a bitch! A convertible would not only give me a youthful aura but when I put the pedal to the metal, the 3 G’s pulling on my face will erase every last wrinkle! I long to cruise down the streets of Georgetown on warm summer nights with my Sirius radio blasting Bruno Mar’s latest hits. I want a car that gives me the mystique of being radically cool …like Matthew McConaughey driving his hot Lincoln SUV into the night spouting spiritual stuff that makes absolutely no sense to anybody except a dude who’s just dropped acid. Yeah, baybee. I want to live that fantasy!

But, damn…reality bites! At my age I’m coping with slower reflexes, reduced vision, night blindness, traffic anxiety and a marked decrease in being able to turn my neck even 35 degrees. So what kind of car should Le Nouveau Moi

w 2015

people my age be driving…besides a golf cart? I wouldn’t buy an electric car because with my failing memory, I’ll forget to plug it in every night. And though I’ll look really cool, a low slung sports car is out of the question because of the high probability of dislocating a lumbar disc when getting in and out.

Maybe my best bet is to post one or more of those yellow warning signs on the driver’s side window. This would alert other drivers to my deficits:

JUST FLUNKED EYE TEST

PROZAC ON BOARD

ANGER ISSUES:

PASS AT YOUR OWN RISK

SENIOR DRIVER:

SLOW REFLEXES

I WILL ONLY FIRE ONE WARNING SHOT

Actually, the safest choice would be one of those cars that’s equipped with all the warning systems. Like one that flashes when you’re getting too close to the guy in the next lane, beeps when somebody is in your blind spot, makes chirping noises when you’re about to back over some poor schnook in a parking lot, sounds an alarm when you’re veering off the road because you fell asleep, and brakes when the car in front of you stops too fast. Yep, this is the car that I need to be driving…a car that doesn’t need a driver who’s plagued with a bunch of old age issues.

The more I think about it, this would be the perfect car for me. If my car can drive itself that leaves me time to be tending to more important things like: Scheduling doctor appointments Putting on eyeliner Poking my badly behaving grandkids with a hockey stick Checking out good looking men Putting olives in my martini Who says that senior drivers aren’t safe?

HAIR

EXTENSIONS

THE

Secret TO A GREAT

Hair DAY

BY LINDA BARRETT

If you’ve ever been envious of the thick flowing locks sported by your favorite celebrity, here’s their simple secret: hair extensions.

Hair extension is a method of lengthening one’s hair by incorporating either artificial or human hair into one’s own hair. Extensions are attached closely to a person’s scalp, and are well-matched in color and texture to the person’s own hair by a trained stylist. They can add volume, length, highlights and lowlights, or vivid color, and can be washed, conditioned, dried, colored and heat-styled along with a person’s own hair.

IT’S AN INVESTMENT Extensions will make a huge difference in the way your hair looks–the feeling you get from a full head of hair is something you can’t put a price tag on.

2015

w Le Nouveau Moi

“You wouldn’t believe how many people walking around our area have extensions,” said Tania Ferrel, owner of Colour Bar Studio in Vienna. “It’s a great way to do something different and perfect for someone who has fine hair, wants more length and fullness, or desires a radical change. They can go from short hair to long.” To match hair color, Ferrel uses color samples and dyes the extensions in 3-4 colors or highlights to give a natural look.

HAIR

HAIR EXTENSIONS continued from page 25

FOR NATURAL LOOKING RESULTS Your hair extensions need to be custom-made so that they match the density, texture and color of your hair.

THE PERKS

“I became interested in extensions because I wanted to wear my own hair longer and it wasn’t growing,” she said.

“I got them and liked them, and wanted to bring this to my own clients because when our hair looks good, we feel good.”

“When I meet with a new client I look at their whole body and show them the best way to achieve their desired look, the advantages, and how to care for their hair and their extensions.” A stylist for more than 28 years, Ferrel became certified 12 years ago in the Great Length method. “The only thing we can’t do is go extreme from a short cut,” she explained.

“Hair has to be a least 4” long on the nape to get long hair.”

ATTACHING EXTENSIONS At Colour Bar Studio, Ferrel uses mostly human hair, attached in one of two methods by either herself or Mirian Sell, another specialist.

The first is Tape-In. Extensions are taped on individually in a 30-minute appointment, and depending on hair growth, can last 3-6 months. They are 26

Extensions offer instant length, volume, fullness and, if you want, color without the commitment.

reusable and should be relocated every 6-8 weeks to prevent damage to existing hair.

The second method is Fusion, using a keratin bond method. Here, extensions are attached one by one with a special machine in a 3-to-4-hour appointment.

This bond method lasts about 4-5 months depending on hair growth.

To remove either type, the process is reversed, and extensions are removed one by one by the stylist. Clip-on extensions are also available and can be attached and removed as needed.

What causes melasma?

The sun and its intense heat can be the mortal enemy of the epidermis, that outermost layer of skin that is in the forefront in the war against sun damage and melasma, which is typically characterized by dark patches on the skin. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, 90 percent of those affected are women. No one knows exactly what causes melasma, however experts agree that exposure to sunlight is considered to be a major factor and have found certain commonalities among individuals with this condition which may explain why melasma is primarily found in women.

Why are women more susceptible to melasma?

As skin problems go, melasma is pretty common. It mainly affects the face although it can be found on other areas of the body that were exposed to the sun. Estrogen, pregnancy, and birth control pills have also been associated with this condition. Individuals with darker skin tend to be more affected by melasma than those with lighter skin. It is that exposure to sunlight that affects the epidermis cells that control pigment.

HEALTH

“Your doctor can prescribe specially formulated creams containing hypopigmenting agents like hydroquinone and others that can lighten the brown patches on the skin. Other options include stripping away the top layers of the skin to help lighten the patches.

These include chemical peels, dermabrasion, and microdermabrasions.”

Treating Melasma

IS IT TREATABLE? In addition to protecting our skin by limiting its exposure to the sun with clothing and sun screens, there are a variety of procedures that have been prescribed, although the effects of some of these treatments may be questionable. To get rid of those brown patches caused by melasma, lasers may be used but the results are often temporary, having to be repeated frequently. In some cases, lasers may actually make matters worse. Your doctor can prescribe specially formulated creams containing hypopigmenting agents like hydroquinone and others that can lighten the brown patches on the skin. Other options include stripping away the top layers of the skin to help lighten the patches. These include chemical peels, dermabrasion, and microdermabrasions.

It is important to remember that there is no current procedure that guarantees the elimination of melasma forever or that the patches will be completely lightened. And while you may need to return to your aesthetician for follow-up treatments, it is more important that you follow skin treatment guidelines, especially those regarding sun exposure, to minimize melasma’s return. If you are pregnant, you should discontinue any of the above procedures because of possible risks to the fetus. Take the same precautions if you are breastfeeding.
