IN HONOR OF SELF- IMPROVEMENT MONTH Why Not Let Us Help You Become the Best Version of Yourself

You may or may not know this, but September is actually Self-Improvement Month. (Really — look it up!) That means if you’ve been putting off any self-improvement projects, whether that means reading more books, trying out a healthier diet, or getting into the habit of running a few times a week, September is the month to give them a shot! Coincidentally, self-improvement is what we’re all about here at Cool Renew MedSpa. It’s our goal to help each of our patients look better and feel better about themselves with our state-of-the-art wellness technology and techniques. Take our CoolSculpting services for example. CoolSculpting is the No. 1 recommended remedy for getting rid of diet- and exercise- resistant fat. Now, we might not be the only med spa in town where you can make a CoolSculpting appointment. However, most other places only have one CoolSculpting machine. Our spa, on the other hand, has three. That means we can schedule multiple appointments on the same day, and can treat you up to three times faster than any other CoolSculpting provider in the area.

EmSculpting appointments in tandem with CoolSculpting appointments so they can tone muscle and freeze fat away at the same time. If you want skin rejuvenation in as little as 30 minutes, you can stop in to the MedSpa for a hydrafacial treatment. Hydrafacial is meant to completely rejuvenate your pores like a regular facial never could. And, if you want to take facial care a step further, you can also schedule an appointment for radiofrequency microneedling, which is a fancy way of describing how a machine called the Genius will tighten the skin on your face, remove fine lines and wrinkles, help alleviate abdominal skin tightening, and even reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Since September is Self-Improvement Month, what better time is there to schedule an appointment with us to help you work on becoming the best version of yourself that you can be? Whatever you want us to help you with, we’re on board and we have the cutting-edge self-improvement technology you need to make it happen. We hope to see you soon!

In addition to CoolSculpting, we also offer our patients a number of other services — some of which they can’t get anywhere else, like our pain-free laser hair removal technology. We can treat any skin type and any part of the body without giving you any sort of discomfort. Plus, you’ll never have to shave those areas again! “It’s our goal to help each of our patients look better and feel better about themselves with our state-of-the-art wellness technology and techniques.”

If you’re looking to not only get rid of fat but also build muscle, we have our

EmSculpt machine for that. EmSculpt uses electromagnetic energy which causes the muscles to involuntarily contract. A 30-minute treatment is equivalent to doing 20,000 crunches! It’s perfect for toning your abs, glutes, arms and calves. Many of our patients make

AND HOW TO USE THIS TREAT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE What Makes Dark Chocolate Good for Your Skin?

Many of us probably have a bar of dark chocolate sitting in our freezer or our pantry at home. Maybe we’ve heard that it’s healthier than milk chocolate, while still being, you know, chocolate. But how many of you actually know in detail why dark chocolate is so nutritious and particularly good for your skin? In case you’ve ever been curious, here’s some of the science behind the tasty superfood. Protection From the Sun You might not have guessed that dark chocolate can work in tandem with your sunblock. The cocoa in dark chocolate contains flavonoids — the kinds of chemical compounds that give fruits and vegetables their distinctive colors — that give your skin a smoother texture and help deflect ultraviolet rays from the sun. It also helps fight against skin discoloration. Promotion of Cell Growth Minerals like iron, copper, and zinc all promote cell growth, which in turn leaves your skin looking

healthier and better nourished. Just 100 grams of dark chocolate contains 67% of the recommended daily amount of iron, 89% of the recommended daily amount of copper, and plenty of zinc as well. Minerals in dark chocolate also help heal the skin, slough off dead skin cells, and help scars and blemishes fade. Prevention of Premature Aging Cocoa is full of antioxidants, which are chemicals that reduce inflammation and improve circulation. This helps skin to retain moisture and look healthier, which leads to fewer wrinkles on your face. Dark chocolate that’s particularly high in cocoa, between 70% and 85%, is best. That being said, we unfortunately can’t just live off of dark chocolate. It’s still packed with calories and easy to overeat. However, in moderation, it can make for a great treat that comes with some added health benefits for our skin to boot.

Pesto

BREAK

Pesto may sound like a fancy ingredient on restaurant menus, but you can make it at home in minutes! This vegan recipe is a great way to use spare carrots tops, and it tastes delicious as a pasta sauce (thinned with water) or a cracker spread.

INGREDIENTS

• • • •

1 large bunch carrot tops

• • •

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 clove garlic, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh mint 4 chives, chopped

3 tbsp olive oil

DIRECTIONS

1. To blanch the carrot tops, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl of ice water. Remove the stems from the carrot tops and add the greens to the water. Boil for 3 minutes, then drain the water and dunk the tops in ice water. When they’re cool, wring out the extra liquid. 2. Use a food processor to blend the carrot tops and all other ingredients except olive oil. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil at a time to the food processor and blend until the pesto is smooth. Taste and serve!

OMBRE FOR THE EYES

’TIS THE SEASON FOR PUMPKINS

Embrace the fall season by trying on a vibrant pumpkin-orange eye shadow. The rich color will bring to mind pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin patches, and jack-o’-lanterns.
