Show Your Skin Some Love This Valentine's Day

 

Is your skin ready for Valentine’s Day? Your skin can definitely benefit from a little love. Skin is our most basic defense against the elements. While we do our best to care for our skin by using sunscreen, drinking water and eating a healthy diet, the everyday elements still take their toll. Show your skin some love with one of these three common procedures for improving your skin.

1.      If the years are beginning to take their toll, Botox may be what you’re looking for. A series of tiny injections into the troubled area paralyzes the muscles, resulting in the smoothing out of the wrinkled skin above.  This is the easiest and fastest way to see improvement.  Give yourself about a week before Valentine's Day for this treatment.

2.      Do your smile lines remain even when you're not smiling? Juvederm is a great procedure for targeting skin that has lost its natural hydration. Unlike Botox, Juvederm is injected just beneath the skin and not into the muscle. We have Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm Ultra+ XC (staff favorite!)  This is also THE PRODUCT to use to plump those lips!  Give yourself about 1-2 weeks before Valentine's Day for this treatment, especially if you bruise easily.

3.      Skin rejuvenation is a great option for those with sun spots, spider veins and age spots. Effective for most skin types, skin rejuvenation uses laser technology to target pigmented lesions on the face in order to even out skin tone. Unlike Botox or Juvederm, this is not an injectable with immediately visible results. Results are typically seen in 5 treatments with no downtime after individual treatments.  Your skin may be a little pink, so definitely give yourself at least 2-3 days before Valentine's Day for this treatment.

 Of course every person’s skin is different, so be sure to consult your Licensed Esthetician for the best treatment plan suitable for you. For more information on the skin care options that are right for you, schedule your personalized consultation at Chic Esthetiq Med Spa today.
