Gifting Botox & Aesthetic Procedures is in

While our Orlando medical Spa has been in business for 10 years, this year has been the busiest for Aesthetic Procedure Gift Cards. Clients are asking Santa to put Botox in their stocking this year. A recent Survey done by researchers at American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), shows that gifting botox is becoming a latest trend among women and men. We are seeing a surge in "Aesthetic Procedure" Gift CArds mainly for Botox, and Dermal Fillers. Buying a syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus which is a hyulornic acid filler to give back volume in lips, cheeks, and deep smile lines is extremely popular. Currently are most popular Holiday Gift Package being purchased as a gift is the "Santa Doesn't like Sun Damage" which includes a Medical Grade Vitalize chemical peel, an Intense Pulsed Light Photofacial and a Lytera Skincare Kit containing four products to remove sun damage for a total of $600. The other extremely popular gift this Holiday Season is laser hair removal. As laser hair removal has become a "household" term I guess it only makes sense to give your loved one the gift of not shaving or waxing. Our $450 for 6 underarm laser hair removal treatments has been selling like hotcakes. Latisse has been extremely popular as purchasing for Holiday gifts as well and clients are gifting this to themselves! So, still thinking what to gift your loved ones this season? If you are not too tight on your budget gifting these aesthetic procedures is not a bad idea after all.

Why Your Eyes Tell Your Age

Why Your Eyes Tell Your Age? Well, for starters is tends to be the first thing people see when they look at you. Secondly it is the first area on your face to show age because you have a lot of movement there, and the skin around the eyes is 30% thinner so it dehydrates quicker & wrinkles easier than the rest of your face. Unfortunately signs of aging around your eyes worsen every year as the skin stretches and wrinkles around the eye even with proper care and sufficient sleep. The fat around the eyes prolapses forward, leading to under-eye bags; and in the upper lids, it leads to sad or sleepy eyes. Excessive exposure to the sun, alcohol, smoking, poor nutrition, and not using sunscreen can accelerate these signs of aging. So here are the ways to make your eyes look younger: Cure #1: Dermal Filler Belotero Balance-the dermal filler of choice to fill in tear troughs (the shallow area under the eyes) & eliminate dark circles. Belotero works by replacing lost volume to the contours of the trough, thereby eliminating the shadow that’s creating the darkness in the first place. Typically this only takes one syringe of Belotero and is painless as the area can be topically numbed & lidocaine is added to the syringe. This will instantly make you look years younger & brighten up your eyes. The results last approximately 1 year. Cure #2: Latisse: I know it sounds funny, but as your age your lashes shed and get thinner, so less lashes make the eyes look older. Latisse is an amazing Allergan product that makes lashes thicker, longer & darker in 8-16 weeks, instantly making the eyes look younger, brighter & fresher. Cure #3: Laser Eye-Lift: Laser Skin Resurfacing can be extremely effective in 1 treatment with combo-ablative laser resurfacing. Fractional ablative wrinkle treatment from Palomar uses beams of laser light that penetrates skin to just the right depth and with just the right level of heat to evoke a dramatic healing response that promotes collagen production, diminishing the appearance of fine lines.

What Dermal Fillers is Right for You?

belotero under eyes A lot of people are looking for new non-invasive ways to look younger and get more volume. Dermal fillers allow for a natural "face-lift" like result without surgery. But what are dermal fillers & what are the differences between the various dermal fillers. I'm often asked in our Medical Spa Winter Park Laser in Orlando which dermal filler is the best? The answer is that there is a correct dermal filler for every person and need and not all sizes fit everyone. What is a dermal filler? A dermal filler is a product that is injected or placed into the dermis. In the United States these are the FDA approved Dermal Fillers on the market: Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Sculptra, Radiesse, Belotero Balance, and now there is Juvederm Voluma which will be available in January. Here are the top 3 Dermal Fillers in our opinion and the best uses and candidates for each. BELOTERO BALANCE®-We think it's best used to fill the tear troughs which corrects hollow sunken eyes and dark circles (a common complaint amongst women). It's also great to fill in deflated lips. BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is made of a material called hyaluronic acid or HA. HA naturally exists as a component of your skin. By binding to water, it fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing immediate and smooth correction. JUVÉDERM™ ULTRA XC & JUVÉDERM™ ULTRA PLUS XC: We love Juvederm Ultra Plus for sunken in cheeks and deep smile lines or "bull dog" lines around the mouth. Juvederm Ultra is great to plump up lips with no volume or erase "smoker" lines around the mouth. JUVÉDERM™ Ultra injectable gel is a colorless hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles and folds, especially around the nose and mouth. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin byholding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent RADIESSE® DERMAL FILLER is best for deep volume loss in the cheek area and deep folds around the nose and mouth. It is great for those who have aged and lost weight to fill back in naturally lost volume for a "facelift" result. RADIESSE Volumizing Filler adds the volume and lift needed to diminish the signs of aging. What makes RADIESSE truly unique is the ability of the product to act as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure and stimulating your own natural collagen to grow. The production of natural collagen continues for several months, which extends beyond the initial effect of RADIESSE Volumizing Filler.
