Lunchtime Facial - Benefits of Microdermabrasion

Since staying out of the sun is not always an option, microdermabrasion is Hollywood’s secret to looking red-carpet ready. And, whether you’re a man’s man or a girly woman, in the prime of your youth or proudly rich with years of wisdom, the beauty of this lunchtime facial is that it’s perfect for most anyone looking to freshen up their face. From erasing years from your appearance to reversing the damaging effects of tanning your bod, check out the benefits of microdermabrasion.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion, also known as Microderm, is a cosmetic procedure used to remove the top layer of sun-damaged and dead skin cells and leaving behind a healthier, younger you.

1. Rejuvenates sun damaged skin – The sun can do a number on your skin, causing sun spots, wrinkles and enlarge pores. But, freshening up your skin is a cinch with a few microdermabrasion sessions.
2. Eases age spots – Microderm is like giving your skin cells a pep talk, stimulating new cells to replace the damaged ones as you watch your age spots — which is actually caused by sun damage that can strike at any age – fade into the sunset.
3. Painless – Whether exfoliating with crystals or paddles, this painless treatment exfoliates the skin without the tears, even if you aren’t the toughest of men.
4. Improves the look of fine lines and wrinkles – Regardless of your age, exposing your skin to UV rays is like begging lines and wrinkles to riddle your face regardless of your age. However, microderm can step in and soften those creases and turn back the clock on aging.
5. Works quickly – Also dubbed a lunchtime procedure, microdermabrasion is a fast technique with immediate results – and with little to no downtime to force you to hide your face from your fans or your friends.
6. Makes other cosmetic procedures work better – Microderm can be combined with other procedures such as chemical peels to rejuvenate your complexion. It also helps makes it a piece of cake for topical products to penetrate through the surface layer.
7. Helps makeup look smoother – By ridding your complexion of dead skin cells and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, microdermabrasion lets your makeup glide on for a flawless finish.
8. Gives acne treatment the advantage – Microderm opens up clogged pores that lead to acne, helping to get rid of the junk and leaving cleaner, smoother skin behind. It also opens the door for topical anti-acne treatments, making it easier for medication to penetrate the skin.
9. Improves acne scars – Softening the top layer of your skin with microdermabrasion can smooth very superficial acne scars by removing the skin’s dead cells on the surface of your skin and improving the smoothness and texture of your mug.
10. Shrinks pores – Enlarged pores aren’t a pretty sight, but luckily this affordable Tinsel Town favorite will tighten enlarged pores and get your complexion paparazzi-ready.

Keratin benefits for skin, hair and nails!

Keratin Technology

Keratin is a family of proteins that are among the most important and versatile that nature has ever produced.
From structures built for toughness and protection, such as hair, nails, and skin, to subtle bioactive mediators carrying important peptides that tell injured skin cells to heal and grow, keratin is nature's material of choice due to superior physical properties, and a crucial biological activity.

From within every cell of human and animal bodies, the definitive combinations of amino acids and fibrous structures that characterize keratins are used to build strong, healthy tissues, and encourage the development of surrounding strong, healthy tissue.

The ability of keratin to provide physical structure and biological function is due to the unique form that keratins have evolved for this purpose.

Benefits for Hair:

• What Is Keratin? It's a protein that's naturally in your hair.
• Time-Saving Tresses: If you usually style your hair straight, a keratin hair-straightening treatment could shorten your blow-dry time by 40% to 60%.
• Farewell, Frizz: You can forget about frizzy hair after treatment. 

Benefits for Skin:

Using keratin in skin care products is definitely a very good idea. The outermost layer of your skin is mostly keratin, and  within every cell in the skin a keratin structure is responsible for keeping the cell functioning well. Over the last few years some high profile medical research has shown that keratin protein plays a really important role in healing, meaning that it helps skin cells to do important things.

Benefits for Nails:

Using keratin in nail treatments at home and at the spa is very beneficial to the nail strengthening process as well as moisturizing hands, softening cuticles.

Against The Grain

Discovering how gluten- free treatments and products can help plant the seeds of change for accommodating the increasing number of spa-goers with this sensitivity.

According to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, 1 in 133 Americans suffer from celiac disease, a genetic autoimmune disease that can cause inflammation and damage to the lining  of the small intestine and interfere with the absorption of nutrients from food, causing fatigue, bloating, and other digestive issues. In addition, 18 million Americans have a non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which is six times the number of Americans who have celiac disease. Symptoms typically appear after ingesting foods containing gluten, which is a protein found in wheat and grains like barely and rye.

Wheat is a common additive in beauty products including body and facial scrubs, shampoos, and cosmetics such as lipsticks. It is commonly used as a hydrating agent and color source in lipsticks. Because skincare products are no supposed to be inhaled or ingested, allergy warnings are not typically visible, which make lipsticks, glosses and balms particularly dangerous for those with a gluten allergy. According to Shannon McLinden, founder and president of FarmHouse Fresh, moisturizers  are also a big concern for gluten-free buyers, because they stay on the skin for longer periods of time than other products. Therefore, clients and estheticians catering to clients with a sensitivity should be diligent in identifying the ingredients on each product's label to ensure that it is completely free of gluten. In addition to wheat, barley and rye it's important to recognize other forms of these ingredients that can be found on labels, including wheatgerm oil, wheat starch, wheat bran, wheat amino acids, and hydrolyzed what protein.

LED Light Therapy -Skin Care

LED treatment
is a painless, even relaxing skin-care treatment that plumps up aging skin by boosting collagen production and treats mild to moderate acne. LED treatments are sometimes also called LED light therapy, LED red light, LED blue light, or by the name of the manufacturer, such as Dermawave or Revitalight.

LED stands for light-emitting-diodes. First developed by NASA, LED works by sending energy-producing packets of light into the deeper layers of the skin. Red light LED stimulates the fibroblasts that produce collagen, which gives young skin its plump look. Professional LED machines can also minimize fine lines and wrinkles, treat sun-damage and stretch marks, and reduce redness after more aggressive IPL or laser treatments. The results won’t be as dramatic as plastic surgery, IPL or laser, but it’s a gentler, more natural, less expensive way to go.
Blue light LED works by killing the bacteria deep in the skin that is responsible for acne. This LED treatment can be used as a stand alone or part of a facial
Each treatment cost $75
The recommended professional LED protocol is six treatments a week or two apart, followed by a maintenance treatment every month or two.
Radio-frequency / Facial Rejuvenation
Pure RF energy alone is primarily used to treat skin laxity by facial tightening, and is best suited to patients with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid thirties to fifties, with any skin colour.

It is commonly used to treat the forehead (lift brows and tightens forehead skin), under the eyes (thickens skin and tightens and lifts the upper cheek skin), cheeks (lifts slightly and diminishes enlarged pores), mid-face, jaw line (diminishes jowling and sagging along the jaw line), and the neck (tightens skin and diminishes wrinkling of the neck).
