St Patrick's Day beauty

St Patrick’s Day is almost upon us and it gives us the perfect opportunity to celebrate the beauty of this vibrant land. Now if you expect me to talk about the vibrant, rolling hills and dense forests you’d be wrong! I want to speak about beauty of the people!

Fair thee well…

Have you ever noticed the delicate porcelain skin that many Irish people have? They call it Celtic skin and it is often pale or freckled or both. We should celebrate all skin and the first way is to take good care of it. Quite often you hear people say “I get burned in the sun, I have Celtic skin,” this is very true paler skin burns easier and gets freckled. First take care of it by using mineral sunscreen. Next, use Lumecca™ IPL to zap away red veins, capillaries, freckles and age spots. Lumecca™ IPL has a higher light intensity so it can penetrate deeper into the skin, making it more effective.In 1-2 treatments compared to 6-8 with other IPL devices, skin will be clear and even!

When Irish eyes are smiling…

The Irish are well known for their great humor and expressiveness. They laugh and smile often and with that comes crow’s feet or undereye hollowness. There is no way I would suppress such joyful personalities, and instead recommend neurotoxins like Botox to reduce movement to soften the lines. If they are severe and there is hollowness under the eyes, I combine with very judicious well-placed fillers to ensure a natural look.

The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow…

This might be a myth but in reality there is something more valuable closer to home! The plasma facial also known as the ‘vampire’ facial 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®.The best results come when left on the skin until the next day as those growth factors seep deep into the skin.It can give stunning skin that is worth it’s weight in gold!

Come in and see us at Invigorate Advanced Aesthetics in Centennial,
