AUGUST 2018 the Beauty BOOK

We turn to natural, approved treatments to give your skin a boost. Because of this, we produce amazing results in a variety of treatment areas. For example, treatments like Kybella use a natural ingredient that already occurs in your body to permanently get rid of unwanted fat under your chin. I inject this isolated ingredient into the top layer of skin, and it gets rid of that unwanted layer under your chin. After the cells are destroyed, the body eliminates them. The little vacuum cleaners of your body, called macrophages, destroy debris and your body recycles it out. Fat is hereditary, but the destruction is permanent. Isn’t that incredible? For other clients, we want to make more of something instead of take it away. That’s the case with collagen. Do you know about the power of collagen to make your skin look younger? It’s the glue that holds our bodies together — you find it doing everything from helping your ligaments move and protecting your organs to keeping your skin strong. In fact, gram for gram, collagen fibrils are stronger than steel! It’s true! That’s why we often recommend treatments like facials and light therapy, because they help your body make more collagen, essentially shedding old cells and replacing them with new cells. It gives your skin a fresh, brighter look. It all depends on you. We consult with each client to determine what their goals are and how we can help them live healthy, beautiful lives with the services we provide. Be on the lookout for additional treatments that we will add to Beautique Medical Spa — I enjoy innovation and I’m always keeping an eye out for what’s next. When I started Beautique Medical Spa in 2002, I was excited to provide people with services that are targeted and customized to their skin. It’s the combination of art and science that I enjoy — I combine chemicals already found in our bodies with targeted and careful application, and the results speak for themselves!

Give Your Skin a Boost

Our bodies are amazing, aren’t they? They have the ability to naturally filter out unwanted toxins, repair and heal themselves, and produce hormones that keep us energized and looking young. I notice these things every day I see clients who are looking and feeling their best.

As you age, some of those processes slow down, and your appearances change. It might be due to a lack of certain hormones or sun exposure that you had when you were younger. Collagen breaks down and you don’t have as much elastin. Smoking damages collagen, and when collagen is super damaged, it makes it difficult to see the youthful you that was once there. Even being dehydrated and drinking too much coffee can have an impact on your skin. It’s part of life. The good news is your team of experts at Beautique Medical Spa is here to help reverse those negative affects. We have services and tools that are customized to each kind of skin type and condition to find the right one for you. Many of our treatments also use what’s already in your body to help you return to health.

Don’t Put Up With a Toxic Relationship 3 WAYS TO BREAK UPWITH HARMFUL BEAUTY PRODUCTS Beauty products can make us feel just that — beautiful. A swipe of mascara, a touch of blush, and a dab of lipstick are all you need to accentuate your favorite features. But if you’re not looking carefully at what’s in those products, you may want to look again. Your skin is your biggest organ — it’s vulnerable to whatever you put on it, but many people don’t pay enough attention to what they expose their skin to. In a recent interview, the “Today” show unveiled that beauty and skincare products do not have to be approved by the FDA. In fact, only 11 ingredients are banned from cosmetics in the U.S. Across the ocean, the list grows exponentially — Europe has 1,328 ingredients banned from theirs. In this Wild West state of beauty products, the responsibility for finding out what’s in your makeup is up to one person: you. Before you trash your makeup bag or move to Great Britain, check out the list below to learn what ingredients to look out for and how to avoid them. Know which ingredients are cause for alarm. While the health effects of many ingredients remain mysterious, a few commonly used ones have shown links to serious diseases. Paraben and phthalates, for example, are found in a wide array of products, from foundation to hair spray, but are now considered “endocrine disrupting chemicals” by researchers and show links to diabetes and hormone-related cancers. While the FDA hasn’t taken action because of a lack of information, doctors and researchers are concerned, which is reason enough to avoid products containing these chemicals. Look to transparent research organizations for guidance. When you’re trying to educate yourself about clean beauty products, don’t trust everything you read on the internet. Instead, look to reputable organizations that prioritize research-based information. For example, the nonprofit, nonpartisan group called the Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a great resource for cosmetic product knowledge. The EWG even has a subsite called the Skin Deep Cosmetics >Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4
