Subtle Treatment. Significant Difference
Join us as we discuss how Sculptra® and Ultherapy treatments work gradually for a more youthful you.
Sculptra® Aesthetic is the first facial injectable that gives you subtle results over time. It replaces lost collagen giving you a more natural-looking appearance without giving you away. A full treatment of Sculptra, an average of three injection sessions over a few months, can last more than two years. You’ll have more time to see how sensational subtle can be.
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment for lifting the skin on the neck, chin and brow; and now it’s also the only non-invasive treatment specifically FDA-cleared to improve lines and wrinkles on the decolletage! Great for coming tank top weather!
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen deep within the skin, with no downtime required. The result? Tighter, better-fitting, skin, from the brow to the chest!

Love Your Skin this Valentine’s
Are You Ready to Look and Feel Your Best?
Winter can be rough on your skin especially your lips. Love your skin this February with our refreshing lip treatments.
Ultherapy is a one of a kind non-surgical procedure that uses focused ultrasound technology to target the deep layers of tissue under the skin. By going deeper than the surface of the skin, Ultherapy creates long-lasting and natural skin tightening results.
To achieve youthful and full lips, we use Ultherapy to target the muscle and skin to create small, thermal heat zones that stimulates the collagen in your lips. The muscles and skin contract which causes the lips to lift in a way that looks natural.
With Skinceuticals AOX Lip Repair, you get two powerful antioxidants, vitamin E and silymarin, forming an exclusive combination antioxidant therapy for the lips. This powerful treatment helps prevent premature signs of aging, while restoring moisture and smoothing the surface of the lips.
Let’s not forget that body or facial hair can be a problem for both women and men! Frequent hair removal chores including shaving, depilatories, plucking, and waxing are time-consuming, often painful, and always inconvenient. At best, they offer only temporary results, for some only a few hours. Hair laser removal has brought us a better, safe, and long-lasting way to remove unwanted hair from any part of the body, leaving skin feeling smooth and beautiful.
Hair Laser Removal can be used on a variety of areas including:
- chin
- lip
- brow
- ears
- neck
- back
- arms
- legs
- pubic area
Take advantage of these February specials and love your skin this Valentine’s.
New Year New You
Welcome in 2017 with a New You!
The year has just begun and it’s a great time to get started feeling better about YOU! Enjoy these discounts to kick things off for you.
Sclerotherapy is an effective, safe and relatively painless treatment to remove the superficial, thin red to purple blood vessels often found on the thighs and legs. You might have heard them called spider veins. A sclerosing agent is injected into the vein using a fine needle. The needle used is extremely thin and produces little to no pain. This solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to swell and stick together. A 60-70% reduction of visible veins is an appropriate expectation.
IPL Intense Pulsed Light photo rejuvenation treatment produces smoother, even-toned, more youthful looking skin. Associates in Dermatology uses it to treat a variety of conditions including:
- Sun damage and photo aging
- Brown spots such as freckles and lentigos
- Skin discoloration, mottled pigmentation, and hyperpigmentation
- Vascular changes or red blood vessels
- Telangectasia
- Redness from rosacea and flushing
- Redness after CO2 laser resurfacing
- Melasma
Chemical Peels are offered as a cost effective way to reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles caused by aging and sun damage as well as lighten pigmented areas such as freckles, “age spots” or liver spots, and melasma (splotchy discoloration due to hormone therapy or pregnancy).
How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes
You wash your face twice a day. Be sure to remember to clean your make up brushes. Give them a bath every week to keep them working just like new.
Bacteria may inhabit dirty brushes (yuck!). Consider how much bacteria is on your face. Bacteria, along with natural oils, may transfer to your brushes every time they come into contact with your face.
Quality makeup brushes can cost a pretty penny. You want to take care of them so they continue to function well and last as long as possible. Besides, cleaner brushes means better makeup application.
Here’s what you’ll need to clean your brushes:
- Warm water
- Baby Shampoo
- Towel for drying
How to clean your makeup brushes
Step 1.
Thoroughly wet your bristles in warm water. Be careful to keep the hands dry.
Step 2.
Drip a drop of shampoo onto the bristles. Put more on brushes for blush and foundation and a lesser amount for concealer, eyeliner, and other small brushes.
Step 3.
Gently rub the bristles with the shampoo until later begins to form. Be sure to get every bristle. The lather may be colorful depending on the makeup used. Avoid twisting or distorting the brush shape. Keep the handle and metal part connecting the bristles to the handle dry.
Step 4.
Rinse beginning with the bristles in the center. Rinse thoroughly. Even after there is no longer visible lather, continue to rinse.
Step 5.
Using the towel, blot the brushes dry. Keep the natural shape of the bristles. Be careful not to fan out the bristle or you may damage the shape of your brush.
Step 6.
Layout the cleaned brushes on a towel to dry overnight. If you hang them over the edge of towel, they will dry quicker. If you desire, rotate the brushes every few hours as they dry.
