Get your GLOW on...

A perfect service to add to the list to prioritize healthy skin and self care. Introducing a new service essential that everyone can benefit from…

SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® - the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable that boasts the ability to improve skin smoothness. Many topical skin products include hyaluronic acid, but it is difficult for these serums to penetrate deep enough to provide long-term/effective hydration. Making small injections and flooding the dermis with hyaluronic acid increases hydration from the inside out, providing a lasting glow and radiant skin surface for 6-9 months. 

Hyaluronic acid is a hydrophilic (water-attracting) molecule found naturally in your skin, but as we age, the content of it decreases. SKINVIVE™ is a synthetic version of that molecule, injected in the dermis layer of the skin, which introduces more water to the area and help the skin retain its natural moisture and softness. In doing so, it addresses texture changes, dullness, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, and diminished skin elasticity. SKINVIVE™ does not change the shape or volume of the face, just creates healthier looking skin. On average, a treatment session takes about 15 minutes and has minimal to no downtime. Pair this treatment with your normal injectables schedule, in-spa facial services, and skin care products to achieve the healthiest looking YOU. You deserve to be pampered, and we love to pamper you… come and see us and start this year feeling your best :)

May your Holidays be bright and ~tight~

Botox is a popular, minimally-invasive, FDA-approved cosmetic and medical treatment that involves injecting a purified form of the botulinum toxin into specific muscles of the face or body. The purified form of the toxin is safe and effective when administered by a trained medical professional.  Notable results from injections are typically seen within 5-10 days, with the peak effect around 2-4 weeks following treatment. The duration of Botox can vary between patients due to many factors, but commonly lasts around 3-5 months.

There are many on and off label uses for Botox, two of the most popular including cosmetic anti-aging and medical treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

For cosmetic purposes, Botox injections are used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. Wrinkles develop over time as a result of repetitive muscle activity underneath the skin. Botox helps to relax the muscles in the treated areas, which softens the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles that form when facial expressions are made, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines). When Botox is injected into targeted muscle groups in small amounts, it can temporarily relax muscles responsible for those repetitive contractions that form wrinkles. Aesthetic uses for Botox are becoming increasingly popular among women and men of all ages. 20-30 year olds are now utilizing mild Botox treatments as a preventative measure to delay signs of aging. Theoretically, low doses of Botox used at a younger age (before any of the wrinkles are settled into the skin) may reduce the amount of Botox needed in the future. If the muscles responsible for contraction during facial expressions are restrained, they are not given the chance to develop as strongly, which over time can contribute to weaker or less notable wrinkles.

Botox injections are also used to treat hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating in certain areas of the body; think scalp, underarms, palms, feet, etc. The botulinum toxin helps to block the nerves responsible for triggering sweat production, which can significantly reduce the amount of sweating in the treated area for its duration of 3-5 months. 

It's important to note that Botox services should only be performed by a licensed medical professional who is trained in proper administration of the injections. Additionally, like any medical procedure, Botox injections carry some risks and potential side effects, such as pain at the injection site, bruising, and headache. However, these risks can be minimized by choosing an experienced and qualified provider and following all post-treatment instructions. At edit. your injector will conduct a full assessment and consultation to create a customized treatment plan to best achieve your goals.

Introducing Avene A-Oxitive: Vitamin C, and Vitamin E serum. 

A perfect addition to your morning routine:

Wake up, grab your coffee, wash your face, tell yourself you are beautiful, use your A-oxitive Vitamin C, and follow with a sunscreen!!

Using vitamin C serum has several benefits for the skin:

1. Antioxidant protection: Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radicals caused by environmental factors like pollution and UV radiation. It helps neutralize these free radicals, reducing their harmful effects on the skin and preventing premature aging.

2. Collagen production: Vitamin C plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, a protein that gives your skin its structure and elasticity. By stimulating collagen production, vitamin C helps enhance the skin's firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Brightening effect: Vitamin C has skin-lightening properties that can help fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. It inhibits the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots, resulting in a more even complexion and brighter skin.

4. Sun protection: Although not a replacement for sunscreen, Vitamin C can help boost the effectiveness of your sun protection. It works in synergy with sunscreen to provide additional defense against harmful UV radiation, minimizing the damage caused by sun exposure.

5. Hydration and moisture retention: Vitamin C helps in improving the skin's hydration levels by assisting in the production of ceramides, which are lipids that help retain moisture in the skin. This can lead to a more hydrated and plump appearance.

This product retails for $50 making it a super affordable option for a medical grade Vitamin C serum.
