Beautique Med Spa September 2018

SEPTEMBER 2018 the Beauty BOOK

I love being able to provide confidence for my clients. It starts the very first time they come into our spa. During the first appointment, I give clients a thorough evaluation of their skin. I identify parts of the skin that are losing volume and any main issues to address. As we age, our cheeks can become hollow and the nasal folds can become more prominent. I evaluate my clients based on these kinds of features. Then I talk to my clients. I’ll tell them that, to look younger, we need to replace volume. Our faces lose definition along the jawline as we age and the jowls start to droop, so we work to add firmness and elasticity back into these important areas. I’m always considering what improvements will help a person look much younger and match how they look on the outside with how they feel on the inside. You know what I love even more than the physical transformations I see in my clients? It’s the mental transformations. You look younger after just one treatment, and then it changes the way you see yourself and the way you feel. We want to thank clients like you who stick to our treatments because you enjoy seeing these transformations. You are the reason I love my job. We want to thank you for being so amazing to work with, and that’s why we’re offering the chance to win a trip to Paris! It’s an amazing opportunity to spend five days with a guest of your choice exploring the city of love! When you tell your friends and family how much you like the treatments at Beautique and they book an appointment, you receive an entry to win! You can find all the details on our website, and call us if you have any questions.

The Transformation

What I Love About My Job

When someone asks me what my favorite part of my job is, it’s an easy answer — I love to see the transformations in my clients. When a client first comes in, they often don’t know what to expect. They want to change the appearance of their skin, but they’re unsure how that’s going to happen. When we see them for a follow- up, we’ll use Botox and fillers, and in 2–3 weeks, they’re looking refreshed, relaxed, and much younger. Clients will tell me, “I’ve been getting all these wonderful comments about my skin; people are noticing!” With their new look, they get their self-confidence back.

Thank you for being a beautiful Beautique client. I love when I can help you stay healthy and beautiful.

-Dr. Sanchez OWNER, MEDICAL DIRECTOR

I saw a client this morning whom I’ve worked with for several years. She had cancer when she came to Beautique for the first time. She’d lost her hair, and she said she was feeling bad about the way she looked. “I just want something that makes me look better,” she told me. I said, “Let’s help you!” We started treatments, and after a few weeks, she said, “I love to come here.” It was like she was given a dose of happiness every time she walked into our spa. It gave her back the confidence and vivacity that cancer had tried to take away.

Did Your Workout Routine Take a Summer Vacation? JUMP BACK INWITH THESE STRATEGIES With barbecues, trips to the pool, and indulging in refreshing beverages on the patio, summer is full of relaxation and fun. But those heart-pumping, muscle- building trips to the gym may have become less frequent during the warmer months. If your workout routine went on its own summer vacation, here are three strategies to get back to it. 1. Find something you like to do. Maybe part of the reason your fitness routine took a break was because you didn’t enjoy doing it. If that’s the case, re-evaluate your options. There is no superior form of exercise, and there are plenty of options to align with your preferences. If you couldn’t get enough of hiking in national parks over the summer, join a hiking group in your community. If you prefer being on a team, look for a local adult league for your favorite sport. 2. Set yourself up for success. You would go to that 5:30 p.m. boot camp class, but it’s right in the middle of your daughter’s dance practice. Getting to the gym is half the battle, so make it easier on yourself by preparing in advance. Find a facility with a schedule that easily fits yours. If you’re planning to work out in the morning, set your clothes out the night before, and choose an energetic song for your alarm. If there’s a class after work, consider leaving an extra set of gym clothes at your office so you’ll never have an excuse not to go. 3. Make your workout an unavoidable part of your day . It’s tempting to join your coworkers for happy hour, especially when that outdoor patio is just around the block from your office. But what if it were that easy to get to the gym? Look for facilities that are on your commute, near your work, or close to home. If it’s easy to get to, you’ll be more likely to go and still have time for that drink afterward. It may take time to make your workout routine a seamless part of your life, but implementing some of these strategies will make it easier and more enjoyable. You might even find yourself looking forward to back-to-the-gym season!

CAN YOU BURN 9,600 CALORIES WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT? Yes! With This Amazing Light Technology

You’ve probably seen some of the fat loss options out there: Coolsculpting, Liposuction, and SculpSure are some well-known procedures. But each one comes with a list of risks and unwanted side effects. Cold treatments such as Coolsculpting, which freezes fat, can be painful, have possible side effects, and damage surrounding tissues. Other light-based treatments such as SculpSure use applicators and can cause some tingling, with

have researched and tested whatever we recommend. We follow the medical oath to “do no harm.” UltraSlim, our recommended option for fat loss, does not come with any of these risks and discomforts. As a matter of fact, the extra-large panel — the largest on the market with FDA approval — allows for even light distribution. Our clients do NOT experience any tingling; in fact, they tend to sleep during their sessions! And if our clients don’t see an immediate loss of at least 2 inches, they don’t pay us a penny! Plus, the exciting part starts after the treatment, because your body is still eliminating the fat and toxins over the days between sessions. Dr. Sanchez created a comprehensive comparison to show the pros and cons of the most popular services, surgical and nonsurgical. In comparisons, UltraSlim had the lowest risk, showed no damage to cells, and caused no side effects in 40 years of research . It also had skin- tightening and skin-smoothing benefits. What other fat-loss method can boast such benefits? Sadly, none of them. That’s why we turn to UltraSlim.

results taking up to six weeks to appear! Who has time for that? And while there is a time and place for surgery, we feel that you should explore all your options before making such a permanent decision. Surgical fat removal, such as Liposuction, has all the risks involved with invasive surgery, including infection and anesthesia. We hear you — the advertisements say one thing and the results say another. There are so many options out there, but how can you find one that actually works?

Here’s the thing — you shouldn’t have to. That should be our job. So we went to work — we researched the fat burning options and tested them ourselves before we figured out what would be a safe option for our clients. We want our clients to know that when they get a service or purchase a product from us, they know that we

Think the Outdoors Aren’t for You? These 2 Women Want to Prove Otherwise

Where do you go when you need an escape? The mall, Netflix … the great outdoors?

and pop-up hikes all over the U.S., including one last month in Chicago.

If this last one wasn’t on your list, Adriana Garcia and Luz Lituma, founders of LatinXHikers, want to change your mind.

There are benefits of hiking beyond the physical ones. Being outside is great for your mental health. Taking a break, even for 20 minutes, can help you feel happier and less stressed than you did before. And that, of course, will show in the way you look too. Luz and Adriana are big believers in the fact that everyone enjoys the outdoors differently — you don’t have to do a 20- mile backpacking trip to get outside! You also don’t need every piece of fancy gear to go on a trek. Go for a short hike or a picnic outdoors and help your skin and body feel renewed. Just don’t forget the sunscreen!

With their shared love for getting outside, these two women formed the group LatinXHikers after seeing a lack of representation of the Latin community in the outdoors. According to Luz, “We feel that it is our responsibility as children of immigrants to form an appreciation for our lands and to help protect and preserve them for the future.” Hiking has become a popular fitness option for everyone, including celebrities. Actress and “Slumdog Millionaire” star Frida Pinto wrote in Los Angeles Magazine that she discovered the beauty of her new home through hiking. “Once I was introduced to the beautiful hikes in the Palisades and Malibu, my perspective really started changing,” Pinto wrote. Vanessa Hudgens and Kate Hudson are also fans, as proven by their Instagram feeds. Luz and Adriana hope to bring this awareness of how accessible and fun hiking can be to younger Latinos and to the broader community. LatinXHikers now coordinates educational programming for students
