We all know our skin changes as we age. Because of this, our skin’s needs from our skincare evolves also. We may notice the appearance of fine lines, but also experience dryness on the face. There are so many products to choose from, it can be hard to decide which to choose from. SkinMedica makes the choice easy with their skincare line and with their newest product, HA5, they really transcend classic moisturizers.

HOW HA5 WORKS

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in your skin that acts as the body's natural hydrator. HA helps hold in moisture which keeps our skin healthy, resilient, and supple. However, when we age, the amount of HA in our skin decreases, diminishing our skin's ability to remain hydrated. What HA5 does is supports the skin’s ability to replenish its own HA for overall skin health.

HA5 has created to have a mix of five HA forms that can help smooth the skin, thereby decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The 5 HA's work synergistically to provide immediate smoothing and continuous hydration throughout the day.

How to Use SkinMedica’s HA5

HA5 is meant to be used twice daily, to the face, neck, décolleté, or any area where fine lines and wrinkles primarily exist, once in the morning and once at night. You’ll want to apply HA5 after cleansing, toning, and treating your skin, but BEFORE you moisturize and apply SPF (sun protection).

​Most faces have always had a little bit of peach fuzz, you know, some fine hairs that can be seen on the sides of the face. Women have been told to never shave this hair, but as we age, our skin gets dryer, making it more important that the hydration products we use, like moisturizer, can actually absorb into the skin. On the hunt for something to help client’s skin “glow”, we came across Dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning is a safe, simple procedure which removes the dead skin cells on the face to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Another benefit of Dermaplaning is that it removes the fine hairs that can be found on the face. It turns out that the belief that the removal of this hair will make them grow back thicker and darker is actually a myth. When the hair grows back, it’s at the same rate and same quality as before the Dermaplaning treatment.
The Top Benefits of Dermaplaning Include:

1. Efficient: Dermaplaning is a quick and simple treatment taking about 20 minutes from start to finish.
2. Non-Invasive: Dermaplaning requires no down-time, has no side-effects and is painless. This safe treatment is a great choice for pregnant and nursing women, or anyone who is new to cosmetic procedures but is hesitant about using chemicals.
3. Exfoliation: Dermaplaning brings out the skin’s “glow” providing exfoliation.  Not only does the skin look better, but our products and creams will absorb better in the skin.
4. Improves Other Treatments: Dermaplaning is a great add-on for other treatments, enhancing desired results. Dermaplaning is safe to do before receiving a Botox or filler treatment and is ideal to do before a chemical peel treatment.
5. Immediate results: Immediately after a Dermaplaning treatment, skin will look more radiant and have the “glow” we all want.

Most of our clients are interested in a way to lift, tighten and tone not only their bodies, but their skin as well.  As we age, our collagen production begins to slow down.  We may find that our skin starts to feel less firm or supple. Ultherapy is the natural choice for a nonsurgical way to lift, tone and tighten your skin using safe, time-tested ultrasound technology.

​How Does Ultherapy Work?

Called the “non-invasive lift”, Ultherapy delivers targeted ultrasound therapy deep within the cells of the skin which stimulates collagen production. Ultherapy can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful look with no down time.

Some patients see initial effects right after their first treatment, but usually desired results appear over 2−3 months as new collagen works to lift and tighten skin on the neck, chin and brow as well as smooth skin on the chest. And while Ultherapy doesn’t have the same results as a facelift, it’s a clinically proven non-invasive alternative.

What to Expect

With Ultherapy, we’re heating small, targeted amounts of soft tissue below the surface of the skin to a point where the tissue will contract and the body will create new collagen.  In order to achieve a significant lifting effect, the right amount of heat needs to be delivered to the right depths of tissue.
So what you’re feeling during the treatment is actually tiny amounts of concentrated ultrasound energy being deposited below the surface of the skin. The resulting heat is a positive signal that the collagen building process has been initiated. While comfort levels can vary from person to person, the sensations felt during treatment only lasts while the energy is being delivered. The length of your treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan.
