Laser Hair Removal Shaves Off Money & Time

admin — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 14:33:51 +0000

Have you ever wondered how much time, money, and energy you spend trying to remove unwanted hair? Think Laser Hair Removal isn’t for you? Unless you’ve got something against more free time and extra money in your pocket, then we’ve got news for you. Laser Hair Removal is much more affordable than you think. Whether you ladies are waxing your bikini area monthly, shaving your legs or underarms daily, or tweezing your brows to get that oh-so-perfect arch whenever the mood strikes, you will be shocked to learn just how costly and time-consuming hair removal can be. You might want to sit down before you read these findings from the 2009 survey released by American Laser Center:

Each month, the average woman shaves 12 times
Each month, the average woman spends $15.95 on the process (razors, shave creams, blades)
Over the course of their lifetime, women will shave 7,718.4 times
Over the course of their lifetime women will spend $10,000 related products
The average shaving session takes 10.9 minutes
The majority of women shave 1-2 times each week
11% of women shave every day
Shaving is the most used hair removal method (58%), followed by waxing (21%) and depilatory creams and lotions (18%)

When you consider these numbers, Laser Hair Removal is a bargain. Don’t forget to factor in the cost of razors, shave creams, endless treatments, annoying stubble, in-grown hairs and razor burn–every week, day, month…it’s mind-boggling. Especially now that you no longer have to. With YAG Laser Hair Removal therapy, our spa-clients never have to shave again. Get soft, silky, hair-free skin–permanently! At Aesthetic Elegance Med~Spa in Plano, we use the easiest, safest and most advanced technology on the market. We treat both men and women–of all ages and all skin types and tones. Yes, guys: this includes your face! YAG Laser Hair Removal is safe and effective for teens and for even the darkest of skin pigments. Under the supervision of our on-site physician Dr. Maryann Prewitt and Med~Spa Director, Debbie Woodruff, our skilled team of Aestheticians is a cut above chain MedSpas. Never tweeze, wax, or shave again with Laser Hair Removal.

What Are Spider Veins? Will Laser Vein Removal Chase Them Away?

admin — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 16:53:23 +0000

Spider veins may look scary—but Laser Vein Removal is nothing to fear. At Aesthetic Elegance Med~Spa in Plano, our Aestheticians use the most up-to-date lasers available to non-invasively remove, or even eliminate, the appearance of these unsightly veins. Spider veins are small, thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. Appearing in red, blue or purple clusters, spider veins, or “sunburst varicosities”, are connected with the larger venous system, but are not an essential part of it. Dr. Prewitt wants you to know there’s no need to worry, their removal has no effect on your greater vascular system or health. As their name implies, spider veins can be creeping in nature—they can cover either a very large or small area of skin. Many people are concerned about the appearance of unwanted spider veins on their thighs, calves and ankles. However spider veins are commonly found on the face as well, particularly around the nose and on cheeks. While the cause of spider veins is not completely known there are a few things we can say for sure.

Factors that may contribute to spider veins include:

Heredity-spider veins run in families
Women are more likely to get spider veins than men
Pregnancy
Hormonal shifts
Weight gain
Occupations that require prolonged sitting, standing, or heavy-lifting
Certain medications
Spider veins on the faces of fair-skinned people  may be related to sun exposure

Whatever their source, unwanted spider veins no longer have to limit your activities or your confidence. Our Med~Spa clients are relieved to learn that we provide a safe and effective solution for this unwanted condition. Our YAG laser is the most effective treatment for the non-surgical removal of many undesired, or unattractive, vascular issues. With Laser Vein Removal you can chase away spider veins for good.

How to Boost Your Botox Benefits

admin — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 15:55:30 +0000

Botox was once a luxury available only to celebrities or beauty insiders but the anti-aging treatment is fast becoming mainstream. Injected by a Medical professional, Botox is primarily used to minimize the appearance and severity of facial lines between the brows, eyes and around the mouth. At Aesthetic Elegance Med~Spa in Plano, Botox is one of our most frequently requested procedures. Thanks to the medical research supporting the safety and multifold benefits of Botox as well as the Med-Spa phenomenon, we see both the awareness and demand for Botox growing daily. Of the almost 9 million cosmetic procedures completed in the year 2009, about 7 million of them were minimally invasive, nonsurgical procedures. The number one rank belongs to Botox injections. Since 2000, the number of Botox users rose almost 300% numbering about 3 million.

At Plano’s Aesthetic Elegance Med~Spa, we see this trend in action every day. Our spa clients are thrilled with the results they see from Botox and, because we boast only the best Botox Nurse Injectors, we guarantee superior safety and comfort. Plus…You will look and feel better with Botox. Our spa clients are always asking us how they can BOOST their BOTOX benefits. The Aestheticians at Aesthetic Elegance Med~Spa love to share their expertise and experience, so we’ve put together the following tips for you to get the biggest bang for your Botox buck! Keep these in mind after you get Botox…Think of it as “syringes with benefits.”

Post-Botox Tips:

Try to exercise your treated muscles for 1-2 hours after treatment (e.g. practice frowning, raising your eyebrows, or squinting). This helps to work BOTOX Cosmetic into your muscles. Although this is thought to help, it will NOT impact your treatment negatively if you forget to do this.

Avoid taking Advil, Tylenol, Vitamin E etc. in order to reduce the risk of bruising.

Do NOT rub or massage the treated areas for 4 hours after your treatment. Do NOT do Yoga or any type of strenuous exercise for 4 hours after treatment. Also avoid facials or saunas for 4 hours after your treatment. This will minimize the risk of raising your blood pressure and therefore minimize the risk of temporary bruising. Feel free to shower and go about most other regular daily activities.

Do NOT lie down for 4 hours after treatment. This is to avoid the risk of pressure on the treated areas (from your pillow) and to avoid the risk of having the area rubbed accidentally.

Be assured that any tiny bumps or marks will go away within a few hours. If you need to apply make-up within 4 hours after your treatment, only use a GENTLE touch to avoid rubbing the treated area. Results of your treatment may take up to 14 days to take full effect. Please wait until the 14 days has passed before assessing if you are pleased with the result. Because BOTOX Cosmetic requires a special technique in order to customize the injections to your individual muscular structure, it is important that your muscle activity recovers, BUT that your skin is not creasing to the point from where you started.

BOTOX Cosmetic is a temporary procedure and at first you may find that your treatment results will last approximately 3 or 4 months. If you maintain your treatment appointments with the frequency recommended by your doctor, the duration of each treatment result may last longer than 4 months
