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.

Top Reasons People get Laser Tattoo Removal

After the economy crashed the job market has become a difficult world to compete in. Those who hadn't had an interview in 20 years quickly found themselves competing again those more experienced, younger, and other talents. While, the competition in the job market not only increased, the employers also had the opportunity to make hiring requirements more stringent. I feel that this has had a huge impact on the laser tattoo removal market. Here are the top Reasons that clients come to us (Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center) for laser tattoo removal in Orlando Fl. #1 Military Enlistment: All branches of the military have not come out with new restrictions that no longer allow men or women who have tattoos that show in their uniforms to enlist without having them removed. #2 Career Opportunities: Men and women who have tattoos that show such as face, hands, wrists, neck tend to have a more difficult time getting certain career opportunities. #3 Life Changes: Many people get tattoos when they are young not thinking about how they will feel about them 20 years down the line. Then they have kids, partners, careers and the tattoos don't represent what the person they are today. Laser tattoo removal gives a permanent solution to what was once a permanent problem. Tattoo ink is removed by using specific wavelengths of light which pass into the skin, and is absorbed by the ink. A given wavelength targets only a single color (or a group of nearby colors). For example, the red wavelength removes the green ink and the green wavelength removes the red ink. The rapid absorption of the light energy (shock wave) causes the tattoo ink to break into tiny particles which can then be removed by the body’s natural filtering systems often referred to as the body’s lymphatic drainage system. Complete Numbing of the treatment area using Lidocaine injections is an available option for a painless procedure.

Benefits of IPL Photofacials

As issues of hyperpigmentation (excess pigmentation such as sun spots and age spots) are on the rise in the U.S. and in our medical spa (Winter Park Laser) the need for Intense Pulsed Light and the benefits of IPL photofacials increase. Hyperpigmentation (excess pigment) can be caused by shifts in hormones such as birth control or hormone replacement therapy and of course by sun damage. While it is most common in olive skin types such as Latin, Mediterranean, and Italian but can occur in any skin type. While, there are many treatments such as chemical peels and ablative lasers that can slowly help with pigmentation issues but IPL treatments are the best treatment available because they concentrate directly on pigment and broken capillaries. So who is the best candidate for an IPL photofacial? Anyone with unwanted sun damage-excess sun spots, age spots, or slight Melasma. Also, anyone with Rosacea symptoms such as broken capillaries and excess redness. IPL photofacials can also have a big benefits for those with inflamed acne. IPL photofacials work by diminishing the signs of aging such as pigmented lesions & capillaries by delivering energy to target & destroy vascular and pigmented lesions associated withveins, Rosacea, sun damage, and age spots from face, chest, hands, legs, and arms. During the procedure, the entire treatment area is scanned with an IPL handpiece and treated with multiple passes and customized settings. A 30-40% improvement can be seen within 1 treatments although several treatments can be necessary to reach maximum results. The benefits of an IPL photofacial are an improved complexion, even skin tone, removal of excess sun spots and pigmentation, reduction in blood vessels, and reduction in Rosacea symptoms and redness.For more information on benefits of an IPL photofacial go to http://www.winterparklaser.com/services/ipl-photo-facials/

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.
