When Botox arrived on the market 10 years ago, it was 40-50 years old with wrinkles that clamored to their local medical spa to try out the new anti-aging elixir in markets mostly like L.A. or New York. Fast forward 10 years later and Botox is as popular as a facial and available nationwide. Also, now knowing the preventative benefit of Botox the younger demographic is now a large sector of frequent Botox users.

After running a medical spa for 8 years I often suggest chemical peels in combination with all laser treatments and by themselves because they can help with almost every skin issue client’s have, including acne, dull skin, large pores, wrinkles, and black-heads. However, almost 50% of the response I get is “I have really sensitive skin, so I don’t think I can have a chemical peel. This is a false statement that many people think would be an obvious truth.

Hair removal treatment using IPL (intense pulsed light) laser technology is a long-lasting solution to eliminate unwanted hair. It can effectively treat any area of the body for women and men. It only requires 6-7 treatments on average and is virtually painless, especially compared to waxing. This laser treatment completely destroys the hair follicles, thereby preventing its further growth.

At our medical spa we do a complimentary consultation for every new client and we look thoroughly over our client’s medical history, however not every spa will do this so here are some tips on being informed and ready for your medical spa treatments which can tend to be stronger than traditional “day spa” treatments. These tips will keep you safe.

In today’s society plastic surgery is seen as extreme as many patients are finding “lunch time” procedure that provide a great benefits toward anti-aging, with little down-time and that costs a fraction of regular surgical procedures. One of the most popular non-surgical treatments is the “liquid face-lift” which utilizes various types of dermal fillers and injectables such as Botox cosmetic to lift, and tighten the face in 20-45 minutes with little down-time and normally for around $1000-$1500 with long lasting and amazing results.

Exercising all fall and winter doesn’t guarantee a “jiggle free” bikini body for summer; in fact exercise and diet are clinically proven to not improve cellulite. Fortunately, when your personal trainer can’t get rid of the difficult “saddle bags”, there’s a new clinically proven, FDA-approved&cleared; non-surgical solution for reducing the look of cellulite, sculpting the body, shrinking love handles and inches all over-Velashape. While Velasmooth and Velashape have been out for a few years, the Velashape II launched about one year ago and is the most powerful weapon against cellulite now on the market.

While Chemical peels are the oldest cosmetic treatment around, they are also shrouded with the most confusion. We have been offering advanced medical grade chemical peels at our medical spa for 8 years and without fail the most questions and concerns come with chemical peels-even more so than laser treatments. Even with the advances in laser technology combination therapy with chemical peels can still play a vital role in results, so this information should clear up some of the confusion about common concerns.

Stretch marks can impact your own self-esteem and self-confidence especially for younger girls or new moms. Until the past 1-2 years every doctor told women and men that there was no solution to remove stretch-marks, until Palomar Medical received FDA clearance and approval over a year ago with the Fractional 1540 Laser Skin Resurfacing hand-piece to effectively remove stretch-marks (white and red striae).

Over the past decades while cosmetic procedures have only increased, the number of non-invasive procedures is far outweighing the the surgical procedures. As more people are working, they do not have the time for “down time”, risks of infections or the other risks involved with actual surgery. This is why many people are not turning to lasers to tighten, lift & rejuvenate skin on the face.

“Men are starting to get concerned with their physical appearance, and it is only becoming more popular, many laser treatments like ablative or non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing or IPL (intense pulsed light) photo-facials to erase sun damage and wrinkles are very popular”
