With my fine, blonde hair I’ve never had a lot of eyelashes. Putting on false eyelashes correctly is a skill I haven’t mastered, so I relegated myself to buying the next “best” volumizing & plumping mascara on the market.
When I heard about Latisse, the first and only FDA-approved treatment to enhance the length and prominence of eyelashes, I was intrigued. Here was a prescription treatment that helps grow eyelashes longer, fuller, and darker. After spending years battling an eyelash curler, I was in, but I wanted to learn more before I committed to buying Latisse.

What’s the Story behind Latisse?

Latisse is a byproduct from a treatment used for glaucoma. That treatment, Lumigan, gave patients very long eyelashes. This unexpected benefit inspired Allergan to create a product exclusively for growing eyelashes. Latisse was FDA-approved in 2001 for treating sparse lashes.

How Easy is Latisse to Use?

This was probably my biggest question, “how easy is it to use Latisse?” And the answer is super easy! Before bed, on a freshly washed face, paint a thin line of Latisse along the lash line with the provided brushes.  Use nightly until you achieve your desired results (usually within 16 weeks, while users generally start to see results after 8 weeks). After that, you can maintain your results by using Latisse 3-4 times a week.

How do I get Latisse?

Since Latisse requires a prescription, it’s important to seek a licensed medical professional like Medical Aesthetics and Wellness of CT, LLC. With a consultation, we can verify you’re a good candidate for Latisse by evaluating any allergies and your medical history (eye surgeries, pressure issues, etc.) Don’t forget our consultations are always free.

Botox is one of our most popular services, yet there is an air of secrecy about it; meaning most clients don’t want to admit to using Botox. The stigma is lifting, but it’s really time to raise the veil, so to speak. “Aging gracefully” is a popular catch phrase and no one thinks twice if someone looks to eat clean, lose weight or dyes their hair. Botox is an extension of healthy living, in that it helps people feel confident and beautiful.  Make-up and wrinkle creams are a part of most women’s beauty regimen and for the results Botox can give, it should be too.

​What is Botox?

Botox is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of both moderate to severe wrinkle lines in adults.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet and horizontal forehead lines—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Botox is injected to temporarily reduce muscle activity (think of it as a vacation for your facial muscles). This “rest” creates a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between the brows.

Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. Part of what creates wrinkles is cellular changes as we age, reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals in the sun and the environment. Additionally, when we frown or concentrate, the muscles between our brows contract, causing our skin to furrow and fold. And when we squint, the muscles around our eyes contract and cause crow’s feet over time.
BOTOX is able to work beneath the skin’s surface and target the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet.

Let’s Talk About Results:
Client’s notice results within 3 days to a week after treatment, with results lasting up to 4 months.

Our face is usually the first thing people see. It is our introduction to people and as part of living a full life we all develop “expression lines.” One of the things we often hear as practitioners is, “I don’t feel my age.” People want their outsides to match how they feel inside. Xeomin is a great product we’re excited to introduce, because it helps our clients achieve a look that is in keeping with how they feel.

How Xeomin Works

XEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines in adults. Xeomin contains the same active ingredient as the Botox everyone is familiar with, but doesn't contain any additives. It works like Botox with the same beautiful results.

Results

The wrinkle-smoothing results seen with Xeomin can last up to six months (sometimes less). After your session, you will visibly see the results within one week.
What sets Xeomin apart from the fray?

The main difference is that Xeomin is "naked." This means that it contains just one ingredient: Botulinum toxin A, meaning there are no additives.

We’re offering a February promotion featuring Xeomin for new and existing customers. Purchase two areas of Xeomin and receive a $100 Visa Gift Card. Supplies are limited!
