It isn’t talked about much, but women are almost as likely to experience pattern baldness as men. In fact, about a third of women will experience significant hair loss, usually beginning at the onset of menopause. There can be several different potential causes for female hair loss, and there are a few different treatment options available.

Causes of Female Pattern Hair Loss

Female hair loss can be caused by:

• Hormone changes, such as with menopause or thyroid issues
• Androgenetic alopecia
• Medical conditions
• Side effects of medications
• Physical or emotional stress

It is unfortunate, but some women have a natural disposition to a double chin. You may appear to have a double chin in old photos, even if you were not overweight in the least. If you have gained weight or grown in age, that double chin or neck waddle could have gotten rather problematic.

Thankfully, you don’t have to live with a double chin or waddle any longer. There are a number of cosmetic treatments available to treat double chin, including surgical options. However, if your double chin is not severely pronounced, a minimally invasive treatment may be sufficient.

We spend a lot of time indoors during the winter, and it can have a detrimental effect on the condition of our skin. This year has thrown us some additional complications. If you didn’t get in for your end-of-winter facial early, you probably didn’t get an opportunity before the stay-at-home orders went into effect. That means that the dry, sallow, pale skin that you get during the winter is still likely a problem.

While there are some things that you can do at home to pamper your skin while you’re waiting on your next appointment, there really isn’t a substitute for a good facial. We offer a wide range of facials so that you can get the treatment your skin needs the most.

You may have heard that a chemical peel can refresh and rejuvenate your skin with no real downtime and has fast results. However, depending on the type of skin condition being treated as well as other factors, you may need more than one peel to get the results you are looking for. Here’s what you need to know.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a facial treatment in which a chemical solution is placed on the face. The chemical causes the skin to peel after a day or two, and the peeling will continue for several days. When the peeling stops, it will reveal fresher, more rejuvenated skin. Chemical peels can be repeated frequently to keep skin looking fresh, or they can be repeated every couple of weeks for more dramatic results.

All men and women experience changes in sexual hormones as they age, and often the symptoms of hormone changes are ignored. You may feel as though these symptoms are a normal part of life and something that you just have to cope with. However, there are a number of reasons not to put off getting hormone replacement therapy. Here are a few.

Heart Disease and Stroke

Your risk for heart disease and stroke are increased when estrogen levels begin to drop. Until menopause, women are at a lower risk of these than men. However, with dropping estrogen levels, your risk increases dramatically.

Every woman starts thinking about anti-aging treatments at some point in their lives. As we age, collagen production in the body decreases, causing the skin to lose its firmness and creating lines and wrinkles. There are a number of anti-aging treatments out there, but few of them boost your own natural collagen production. Now there is a laser skin tightening treatment that does just that.

Effective for Multiple Treatment Areas

The laser treatment that we offer can be used to correct several issues that might be of interest to many people. Some of the target areas that the laser can treat include: (more…)

When you want to pamper yourself and your skin, there are many options from which to choose. From facials to chemical peels to more aggressive anti-aging treatments, there is something out there for everyone. Both chemical peels and microneedling help to clear the skin and refresh its health and youth. Here is what you need to know about these two procedures to choose the right one for you.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are one way to exfoliate the skin, which cleans it and also gives it a fresh new look. The chemicals are painted onto the face for a brief time. Afterwards, within a day or two your skin will start peeling. This cleans the pores very well. The peeling also clears away dead and dull skin and triggers the body’s natural healing response so that a new, fresh, youthful layer of skin takes form. Chemical peels are great for reducing the signs of aging and giving your skin a new lease on life. (more…)

When you first start seeing lines and wrinkles, you might assume it is a natural part of aging and leave it be. But when lines and wrinkles become moderate to severe, or you have nasolabial folds or other facial folds, there are some treatments out there that will improve your skin tone and smoothness. One of those treatments is Restylane. Here’s what it is and how it can help you.

What is Restylane

Restylane is a dermal filler with hyaluronic acid as the primary ingredient. Hyaluronic acid is produced in a lab from a certain type of bacteria. It is completely safe, and few people have allergic reactions or side effects. Hyaluronic acid exists in all living creatures, and it can be used as a dermal filler to increase volume in the face and lips.  (more…)

If you have noticed sagging in your features, or the appearance of lines and wrinkles, you might be considering a face lift. Instead of going through a complex surgery, there is a minimally invasive facial that can help you achieve results without surgery or downtime. A Microcurrent face lift is a special type of facial that firms and tightens the skin, while minimizing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

What is Microcurrent Face Lift

A microcurrent face lift is achieved with a special device that sends microcurrents of energy into the deep tissues of the face and skin. These microcurrents do several things. First, they stimulate adenosine triphosphate, which in turn triggers the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are the two components of the body that help keep skin firm, tight, and wrinkle free. Collagen and elastin decrease in the body naturally over time, and this treatment helps to boost it. (more…)

For many women, getting a facial seems like a luxury, yet exfoliating facials can have a lot of benefits for your skin. With an exfoliating facial, you can get cleaner, clearer skin that is youthful and defies the signs of aging. Here are two of our most popular exfoliating facials, when to use them, and how they can benefit you.

Rezenerate Nano Microneedling

Microneedling has long been used as an exfoliating treatment that boosts collagen production in the skin to reduce the signs of aging. The Rezenerate facial uses a unique pen to create nano channels in the skin. These channels are then used to deliver nourishing serums into the skin that can help replenish your skin and make it appear younger and more supple than before. After the Rezenerate pen has done its work and the serums have been applied, we will finish with a hydrating mask that firms and tightens the skin.  (more…)
