It’s Halloween again and the ghosts and ghouls will be out in force! All things spooky come out at this time of year but it’s not always supernatural – and I don’t mean sweet little trick or treaters knocking on the door! I mean the winter skin that cannot decide if it wants to be greasy one minute and dry the next or even both at once. In any case it can be very frightening when you get a glimpse in the mirror.
That is the changing of the seasons and the onset of indoor heating. Our US heating tends to be very dry convection heat as opposed to gentle radiant heat so we need to work harder to keep it stable. That means drinking more water, putting on the humidifer, getting enough clean smoke-free outdoor air and reapplying moisturizer.
As we are getting topical and timely I thought we should mention vampires. I am talking about the famous ‘vampire’ facial. I mean who can forget the sight of Kim Kardashian with her ‘bloodied’ face? The plasma facial as it is technically known requires a vial of a patient’s blood being extracted then spun in a centrifuge until the plasma separates out into “liquid gold.” Or plasma when spun at a different speed to yield the thicker red plasma.
These two fluids can be injected into troublesome face areas (to start the skin’s own renewal process) or spread over microneedled skin using a SkinPen®.So where does the vampire bit come into it? Well sometimes injections or microneedling can cause very small painless blood pricks and the plasma with their ghoulish yellow and bloody red look,like blood! The best results come when left on the skin until the next day as those growth factors seep deep into the skin.
Though it might look scary the results will definitely NOT have you running for cover! Expect a fresh plump dewy glow that keeps working for months after treatment.
Alexis Pepple2024-03-09Robyn & her team are truly fantastic. They have come up with a whole skin care routine for me. I love knowing that I have a plan to accomplish the skin care goals that I want. I also love their new membership program. It is such a great value I would highly recommend.
Alanna Rohloff2024-03-01I’m feeling as motivated as ever to build muscle and lose body fat, working with Caitlin as my nutritionist and coach. She’s so smart and kind. I also love going into the med spa- it’s beautiful and comfortable. Highly recommend this company to anyone.
Elexis Zamora2024-02-26Robyn was Great! She answered all of my questions she was professional and listened to what I wanted my results to be. I got Botox and lip filler. I’m currently four days out and I can see results but still waiting on the Botox to kick in! But overall a clean environment cute spa! And so far I love the way my lips turned out. Great experience!!!
vibes amanda2024-02-24The work I’ve had done here was truly life changing. Aside from the clinic being so inviting and extremely elegant, the staff is so kind and beyond talented. I’ve gotten my lips done here twice now and both times I’ve gained a new found confidence that has made all the difference in the world in my day to day life. This is the greatest investment I’ve ever made into how I feel about myself and I will continue to get all of my aesthetic work done here. I cannot recommend this place enough!
