Join the Club Our Way of Saying ‘Thank You’

HAIR-FREE CLUB Be hair-free in 12 months? Yes, this is possible! And the best way to do it is by joining our Hair-Free Club. Ditch all your unwanted hair with the latest hair-removal technology. With our state-of-the-art equipment, you’ll trick your body’s hair-growth cycles to remove all your unwanted hair in just one year.

When you think of joining a club, you might think of one involving sports or fitness. What you probably don’t think of is a beauty club. If that’s the case, you’re missing out! Our medical spa was one of the first of its kind to start members-only programs, and there’s a reason we keep adding new memberships every year!

Beautique Medical Spa debuted the Botox Club 15 years ago. From there, we’ve added more clubs and more savings for our loyal members.

We always have our clients in mind, and that’s what prompted us to start our first beauty club. We wanted a way to offer you special savings and rewards for being a loyal member of Beautique Medical Spa. We wanted to reward our clients’ loyalty and make treatments more affordable. Just as we are loyal to our customers, we appreciate your loyalty and want to reward it. Beautique Medical Spa led the industry in this service, and we were focused on one thing: you.

Using multilevel treatment plans, we can find the best strategy to meet your goals. It’s a personalized club that takes away your unwanted hair and gives your skin that smooth, hairless feel and look so you can enjoy the beach without stressing about your bikini line. There are three different levels, and we’ll help you find the right fit for you! CLUB BMS For the beauty connoisseur, we offer access to exclusive deals on products and services. A low monthly fee gets you up to 50 percent off select services plus VIP pricing on certain products. A complimentary eyebrow wax accompanies your facial appointment, so you can look and feel your best! Not only that, but you’ll also get early notifications about promotions and invitations to private shopping events. There are even more perks when you join our clubs: Members get discounts on purchases made in our shop, extra rewards for referrals, and special members-only discounts. The list keeps going, but we’ll give you a minute to sign up on our website at beautiquemedicalspa.com.

Here’s a glance at a few ways you can get the most out of your membership.

BOTOX CLUB This is the club that started it all. We shared with you last month the history of Botox and why we love it as a tool for fighting wrinkles. When you join Beautique’s Botox Club, you get huge savings on your treatments. These include lower prices on 108 Botox units for the year and special discount pricing for any additional units. Oh, and don’t let me forget — you receive a complimentary monthly eyebrow wax with your Botox appointment. Pretty great, right? You can take care of both services in one go!

If you’re not a member, you’re probably thinking, “Why not?” That’s a great question. Today is the perfect day to join the club. –Dr. Sanchez OWNER, MEDICAL DIRECTOR

DO YOU NEED A MEDIA DETOX?

THE DANGERS OF OVERSTIMULATION

With the current trend of getting TV, social media, and news alerts sent to our phones, we have access to more media than we could ever consume. While constant connectivity is a boon for many aspects of our lives, researchers are discovering that too much stimulation is cause for concern. One study in the Journal of Social and Clinical

with every day,” Emma Watson told CNN in an interview about her selective social media use. If you’re not mindful of your media consumption and participation, it tends to pile up. When you detox, it’s a lot easier to identify which parts of your media diet are essential and which are only a burden.

Psychology found that too much social comparison, spurred by the likes of Facebook and cable news, can lead to an increased risk of depression. If you find yourself pressured to live up to the public lives of friends and family, or if you feel like you’re being bombarded with too much news and entertainment, consider a media detox. A detox doesn’t require you to unsubscribe from social media services or unplug your TV forever. Instead, think of it as a vacation from the overstimulation so many of us experience. Ask yourself which aspects of your media diet are causing more stress than they’re worth, and take a break from them for a little while.

Another benefit of a media detox is that you’ll have more time to pursue new and dormant hobbies. Because most of us consume media in small chunks throughout the day, it’s easy to overlook how much that time adds up. All those hours you spend on Facebook could be used to start a garden, knit a quilt, or join a soccer league. Unless you have an unlimited supply of leisure time (and who does?), you need to be selective in the way you spend it. Remember, media isn’t the cause of all your ills. Used mindfully, it can actually increase happiness and satisfaction. The problem is that we are so mired in the media muck that we can’t get a perspective on how much is too much. A detox will allow you to reassess the media

you’re consuming and build a better plan for the future. You can still keep up with your grandkids on Facebook, but it shouldn’t be the only way you interact with the world.

“In the same way we think about what we eat, we should think about what we read, what we’re seeing, what we’re engaging in, and what we’re interacting

IMMUNE BOOST FROM A MASSAGE?

HERE’S THE SCOOP

What does a lymphatic facial do?

As a loyal Beautique client, you already know how effective facials are at subtracting years from your appearance and giving you a bright rejuvenated glow as they slough off dead skin.

A lymphatic facial targets the lymph nodes — most of which are located in the ear and neck area — to help eliminate blockages and drain fluids. Precise circular motions and pressure are applied by our estheticians to help lymph fluids flow throughout your entire body. With the increased flow and disposal of toxins, you can feel and see the benefits in the improved texture and appearance of your skin. There are even a few additional benefits. Yes! Not only does a lymphatic facial result in an immunity boost and better skin, it also can help tone your facial muscles and support your body’s ability to handle stress. Even better? A lymphatic facial can actually release endorphins, so you’ll not only look good, but you’ll feel happier, too! Don’t wait to get these beautifying — and gratifying — benefits. Call our office today at 956-664-1234 and book your immunity- and beauty- boosting facial massage! Wait, there’s more?

What if you could get even more from a facial? What if a facial existed that not only got rid of dull skin, but also rid your body of toxins?

Yes, this facial does exist, and it’s offered at Beautique Medical Spa! Called a lymphatic facial massage, this facial focuses on stimulating your body’s natural lymphatic system to help you look and feel better.

What’s so important about your lymphatic system?

Our lymph nodes filter out toxins, bacteria, and viruses, and they allow white blood cells to destroy toxins. That way, these toxins can be carried out through your bloodstream with other waste. Unfortunately, for various reasons, our lymphatic system can become blocked. When it’s not working properly, these toxins and unwanted bacteria can build up, causing illness and negative side effects to our appearance — like fine lines and dull skin. Breathing exercises and massage can help stimulate your system and aid your lymph nodes.

ONE-OF-A-KIND NATURESCAPES

If you’re lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, you might see rare magical sights — baby turtles scuttling toward water, glowing lagoons, or a shimmering sky. But when and where do you need to be to catch these natural wonders? SEA TURTLES HATCHING IN HAWAII On Oahu’s North Shore, head to Turtle Beach, which gets its name from the many turtles that nest along its shores. During late spring and summer, the waves subside, allowing turtles to crawl onto the beach to lay their eggs. Baby turtles hatch at night and make their way to the water by the light of the moon. If you do head to the beach at night to see this spectacle, don’t use white light, as it can disrupt the turtles’ progress (that means no flash photography).

where salt water and fresh water meet, making the lagoon in springtime an ideal place to see them.

Eco tip: To ensure this magical sight will remain for years to come, always go with a “pack it in, pack it out” mentality. Take all of your belongings with you when you leave and be respectful of the beautiful environment that is yours to enjoy. NORTHERN LIGHTS IN SCANDINAVIA One of the most elusive natural wonders, the aurora borealis, can only be seen on dark nights in the most northern parts of the world. That makes Sweden and its Scandinavian neighbors a great place to see the phenomenon. From December through April, you’ll have your best chance of seeing the northern lights. Sightings are dependent on solar activity, so it’s impossible to predict the exact timing and location, but they’re easier to see during the longer, darker nights of winter and early spring. Eco tip: Book your trip through a responsible travel company, such as those that practice a fair-trade policy.

Eco tip: Look, but don’t touch! It’s illegal to touch a sea turtle in Hawaii.

BIOLUMINESCENT PLANKTON IN JAMAICA Imagine looking out at the water as the sky gets dark and seeing it turn a bright, glowing blue. That’s the sight you might be treated to at Luminous Lagoon in Jamaica, where dinoflagellates, microscopic organisms in the water, lend their glow to the lagoon. These tiny organisms thrive in areas
