Bellafill

Injections, Uncategorized /

Bellafill is a great filler that will last for 10 years!!  For many people are tired of getting juvederm injections every year, here is a new option…Bellafill.  Bellafill is used in the same manner as a traditional dermal filler to help plump up areas and get rid of deep lines.  Bellafill is also great for filling in acne scars as well.  Bellafill is a collagen based product that also has small spheres to plump up and create new collagen. Belafill is great for areas such as the nasolabial lines (laugh lines), marionette lines, and cheeks.  Bellafill should never be used under the eyes or in the lips.  This filler will end up lasting longer than anything else on the market and save you money in the long run.  Over a period of 10 years, traditional juvederm fillers will cost you $2500-5000, whereas Bellafill will cost you around $1000.

Botox

Uncategorized /

Botox is a great medication to use to prevent wrinkles from forming or to help reverse the signs of aging.  When I see a client for the first time for Botox, I generally like to start off on the more conservative end of treatment.  I always stress that you can add more, but you can never take it out.  Botox will typically last you 3-4 months.  When doing Botox for preventative actions, I suggest having injections every 6-12 months.  For women who want to turn back time, every 3-4 months is going to be a good amount of time.  If Botox is not lasting at least 3 months, the person injecting it may be using a small amount or have poor technique.  Sometimes Botox can be over diluted (watered down) which will require more units to effectively work and will end up costing you more money.

Botox or Dysport

Botox, Uncategorized /

The question for years has been which is better, Botox or Dysport?  A lot of this depends on what your trying to accomplish.  Botox is a very well known brand and does a great job.  Dysport has been out for about 8 or so years and also does a great job, but not as well known as Botox.  The molecular structure of each is slightly different.  Botox has a small extra protein strand attached to it that Dysport does not have. Dysport will tend to have a faster onset (the time it takes to kick in) where as Botox will take about 5-7 days.  The length of time the both last has been argued, but they should both last about 3-4 months.  I do have a few clients that Botox will last up to 6 months on.  I highly recommend trying both and seeing which one will last longer for you, which will save you money in the long run. At the end of the day, Dysport will end up saving you more money, but there are some people who simply respond better to Botox.  Both do the exact same thing in the end.

PRP Injections

PRP, Uncategorized /

PRP is quickly becoming very popular for the great results it produces.  PRP as we are finding out is great at helping the body to repair itself and heal.  So what is PRP?? PRP is an abbreviation for “Platelet Rich Plasma”.   In the past, PRP has been used to treat injuries such as injured ligaments and tendons.  Some places of the body have a better success rate than other areas.   PRP is collected when the person has blood drawn and then spun down in what is called a centrifuge.  The centrifuge separates the different parts of blood, and allows for the red blood cells to settle at the bottom since they are larger and heavier.   Sometimes a large amount of blood may be required, since the actual PRP is such a small portion of the blood.  The larger clear area called “PPP” or Platelet Poor Plasma is many times used by inexperienced people who do not actually know what true PRP is.  True PRP holds all the rich stem cells and growth factors that help create new tissue.  PRP has become extremely popular recently in the aesthetic world.  Finding the proper person to inject or microneedle the PRP can sometimes be tricky since everyone is jumping on the band wagon. PRP can be used to help regrow thicker and stronger hair and build up more collagen in the face.  Some other interesting areas PRP is being injected is the penis, the vagina, and the clitoris to enhance sexual intercourse and provide intense orgasms.

Juvederm or Botox?

Botox, Uncategorized /

Many times people who are new to having procedures done are not familiar with terminology used.  I many times hear people ask for Botox to be placed in the nasolabial folds “Laugh Lines”.  An easy way to remember the difference is that fillers like Juvederm “Fill In” low spots or wrinkles.  Botox works on the muscle to help it not move.  Botox does not paralyze the muscle, but rather weakens it so that it does not temporarily not move.  Botox typically comes in units whereas Juvederm and fillers come in a pre-filled syringe.  Juvederm is a gel like substance, and Botox is a fine powder until mixed with sodium chloride to reconstitute it.  Can you “water down” juvederm or fillers?  Absolutely not.  I have read about people thinking they are getting scammed on juvederm by someone watering it down…impossible.  Can Botox be over diluted and “watered down”…yes!  In my own personal opinion I don’t feel it is morally right to cheat someone out of something if they paid for it, but other shady med spas have no problem doing it.  How do you know if it is watered down?  It is extremely difficult to determine if Botox is over diluted, unless your the one doing it.  This is why it is so important to deal with a reputable office.  A few times I have treated people and they said it didn’t work completely, so I re-treat them at no charge.  Do your homework and find a great place to go, and more importantly people you trust.  I always recommend Yelp for honest reviews or Google+.

Skin Care Tips by Randi

Skin Care /

It happens too often, people come into the office and want to get treatments done to improve their skin, but then go home and use Neutrogena on their face.  Your daily skin care routine at home is crucial. Using professional products and following the correct steps in your regimen can make the biggest difference in your skin.  Yes, it is important to get treatments done from your esthetician, but we always say, “you can pull the bed sheets tighter, but if the sheets are wrinkled, it still won’t look good.” We stress the importance in investing in quality products because many people don’t realize the harm in putting cheap, drug store products on their skin. The problem occurs when  they strip the natural lipid barrier from your skin, leaving it dry and irritated. The pH levels of cleansers like Neutrogena, L’Oreal, etc., are usually around 10, when a preferable PH for your skin should be 5.5. Most  products also contain harmful alcohol as an ingredient.  Many people with oily skin gravitate to alcohol based products because of the matte finish it leaves them with.  The use of alcohol based products actually makes oily-skin worse, and depletes vital substances needed for healthy skin.  Glo Medspa carries IS Clinical, which are results based and great products. The steps you should follow for healthy skin are: Cleanse- find professional cleanser to compliment your skin type (Normal, Dry, Oily, Combination, Sensitive, Aging) Exfoliate- depending on the product, exfoliate 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin and allow products to penetrate deeper Moisturize-collegian thrives in moist environments! Protect- one of the most important steps for anti-aging. SPF 30 is recommended, and make sure it says broad spectrum!
