Top 3 Reasons to Use LATISSE®

Latisse® has become a big "buzz" word in the beauty industry for women and some men. So why is it so popular? It's so popular because it works-LATISSE® is the only cosmetic with a 100% patient satisfaction in clinical trials. The lash industry is a big empire because women love long lashes. It works because LATISSE® is the only product approved by the U.S. food and Drug Administration to achieve fuller, thicker growth of the upper eyelashes. LATISSE® can give you many benefits and we are going to list the top three reasons to use LATISSE®. Top 3 Reasons to use Latisse: #1 It will make you look younger. Studies have shown that women who used Latisse alone looked younger-because it takes the emphasis off the wrinkles or sagging skin around the eyes. Longer, thicker, darker lashes make the eyes look brighter & give a sense of youth because women always have more lashes when they are younger as they naturally lose them in mature age. #2 It is a more permanent solution to lash extensions, mascara, and temporary lash treatments. LATISSE® results in the growth of new lashes, which are thicker and fuller, and often darker, than your normal lashes. Used regularly, thicker, fuller lash growth will continue for as long as the product is used. #3 It looks amazing! Who doesn't look better with longer, thicker, darker eye lashes? The answer is nobody! Latisse will make lashes more than 40% thicker, darker, & longer. I have never had anyone purchase it and regret it-it can make a huge difference in your appearance.

How to Remove Stretchmarks Permanently & Why Creams Don't Work

Stretchmarks can be an unfortunate side-effect of pregnancy or growth spurts and mainly occur to women however sometimes in men as well. Stretchmarks can be due to genetics, stretch marks are small tears in the dermis that result when the fat or muscle beneath the skin is growing at a faster rate than the skin itself. As the tissue under the skin is “stretched out,” normal collagen production is interrupted, and stretch marks begin to surface. Many clients who have come to our medical spa (Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center) have tried many different commercial creams to remove stretchmarks. This is why creams don't work-because the tissue tears are deep in the dermis and there is no cream that can penetrate deeply enough to repair the dermal tissue. Also, if any cream is not medical grade it can't even penetrate past their epidermis. Until 3 years ago there was really nothing you could do to remove stretchmarks, until Palomar Medical was the first laser company to get FDA approval on the 1540 Fractional laser to permanently remove stretchmarks. So please, don't waist your money on creams that don't work-laser is the only way to permanently remove stretchmarks. Here is how to permanently remove stretchmarks with Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing. There are various brands of lasers to use-we use Palomars (now owned by Cynosure) which was the first to be FDA approved and cleared for laser stretchmark removal. Laser treatments are used for resurfacing the skin, to stimulate collagen production, remove damaged tissue, repair fibers within the skin and improve the look of white or red stretch marks on the skin after four or five treatments. . The Lux1540XD hand-piece delivers an array of high-precision micro-beams to create deep, narrow columns of coagulation in the epidermis and dermis. This triggers a restorative natural healing process that creates healthy new tissue, including the deposition of new collagen on any area of the body eliminating embarrassing white or red striae (stretch-marks). Treatments are relatively comfortable and topical numbing is a complimentary option for an incredibly comfortable procedure. One treatment every 3-4 weeks is required for optimal results and number of treatments varies depending on the age and severity of the scars. Only mild redness and swelling last 24-48 hours post-treatment. The results will give you 50-95% improvement in stretch-marks permanently.

Top 3 Skincare Products Every Woman Should Use

As women we are constantly bombarded by information and messages about anti-aging and beauty products. Whether it's over the counter lines from major manufacturers or mall sales associates trying to throw various lotions and creams at you everywhere you go. Well, being in the medical cosmetic industry we know that a lot of research has been done into physician grade skincare and what really works to stimulate collagen, elastyn, and actually anti-aging the skin. Here are what we think to be the top 3 skincare products every woman should use over the age of 30: #1 Retinol-Out of all the ingredients and skincare products most dermatologists and plastic surgeons agree Retinol is a game-changer for anti-aging. It is important to use only medical grade or prescription strength to actually see a result. Medical grade Retinols can be found at medical spas or physician offices and tends to be less irritating than a lot of prescription strengths. Retinols have many benefits: they are powerful exfoliators, meaning that they help slough off the dead skins cells on skin's surface, they decrease oil & can tighten pores. They also stimulate new collagen of about 6% per year-since you lose 20% every year, it's nice to get 1/4 of it back from one product! We love Skinmedica Tri-Retinol complex for medical grade. #2 Hyaluronic Acids: this ingredient is naturally found in the body, hyaluronic acid secures moisture and creates fullness—youthful skin naturally abounds with hyaluronic acid. In skin care, you can find hyaluronic acid in serums, creams, and dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Belotero Balance. So if you do get injectables, products containing hyaluronic acid can make your treatments last longer, if you don't hyaluronic acid products can help lock in your natural moisture giving your skin a plumper, firmer look. #3 Moisturizer with SPF 30 or Higher: Even if you think you don't "get sun" you do! Even when you are driving or walking to your car-you are getting sun, so unless you live in a cave you should be wearing a sunscreen in your moisturizer everyday. The important thing is that it is a physical sunscreen minimum spf 30 with full broad spectrum UVA/UVB. We love Skinmedica Daily Physical Defense Sunscreen SPF 30.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Llaser Hair Removal Even though laser hair removal has been around for nearly 2 decades there are still those who are still shaving, waxing or tweezing because they are afraid or uneducated about laser hair removal. Laser Hair Removal is a much easier process than it's only other permanent hair removal predecessor: electrolysis. Electrolysis devices destroy the growth center of the hair with chemical or heat energy. After a very fine probe is inserted into each hair follicle the follicle is destroyed one at a time which can take over an hour for a small area & over 15-20 treatments. Laser Hair Removal is a much quicker and easier method. Top Benefits of Laser Hair Removal #1 It's Fast: New technology has allowed laser hair removal to become incredibly quick. Treatments for small areas such as lip or chin can take only 5 minutes, and large areas like full legs or full back only take 30-40 minutes. #2 Eliminate In-Grown Hair: Since you are reducing the number of hairs by 95% after 6-7 treatments, you also reduce the chances of getting an ingrown hair again by up to 95%. This can be especially beneficial for those with dark skin who are more prone to ingrown hairs due to thicker, coarser hair. #3 More Personal Time: As a result of not spending time on shaving, one can be given a great deal more of personal time to do other things. Also, you don't have to spend time waxing every month for life. #4 It Last Longer than any other hair removal method available & will save you money: Laser Hair Removal is 95% permanent meaning you should only need a quick touch-up once every 12-24 months. While it might be a small financial investment in the beginning it will inevitably cost less than waxing, and razors over time.
