"No Touch" LED light treatment for social distancing

3/20/2020

1 Comment

 
It is a truly strange thing for me to develop a treatment that nobody is "touched".  We as therapists touch people all day.  It is our super power to help others and touch plays a large part in that process.  Times they are changing!  We want you to have all the benefits of skin rejuvenation without personal risk.  It is for that reason that I am developing this touch free, social distance, high skin reward therapy option.  

This is how it works:  Go to our scheduling page to arrange for your visit.  Here you will see the times available and pay for your visit.  When you arrive we ask that you come with a clean face (no makeup).  Please visit the freshly sanitized restroom and wash your hands before entering.  Come into the studio and you will be directed (from more than 6 feet away) to your treatment room.  You will find a single sheet on the table.  No robe needed for this visit!   The Celluma Pro will be on the table along with 2 small dishes with products.  Dish number one contains a serum.  Apply this to your clean face.  Choose your setting:  Acne or Wrinkles.  Choose to disable the pulse setting by pressing the button.  Put on your protective eyewear and place the Celluma Pro over your face.  Relax for a full LED treatment.  When the timer is out the unit will turn off.  Remove the eyewear  and return the unit and eye wear to the table.  Apply the SPF and you are on your way.  No need to check out as you have already paid for the service.  

LED is an amazing therapy for your skin.  Red light LED (wrinkles setting) penetrates into your skin to produce collagen and elastin.  Help with age spots, improve tone and texture of skin.  We recommend this treatment for results twice per week for 2 weeks.  You move to treatments weekly for 3 weeks, and then monthly for maintenance.  This is a proven wrinkle reducer and is FDA approved to treat wrinkles!

Acne is a big problem for a lot of folks.  It's painful and difficult to treat.  Acne products are often harsh and produce redness.  Blue light LED (acne setting) penetrates the skin to neutralize bacteria in the follicle.  There can't be acne without bacteria.  This is a great way to handle acne for all age clients.  We recommend treatments 3 times per week for 3 weeks, then weekly treatments for one month.  Then a maintenance treatment monthly.  This is a proven treatment for acne.  This device is FDA approved to treat acne.  

Please see our safety statement page for full details on our sanitation practices.  We take COVID-19 very seriously.   You will be asked to sign a waiver and provide a form confirming you are eligible for treatment.  We will not permit clients into the studio who are sick or who have traveled in the last 14 days.

Food is good

3/17/2020

We have all heard you are what you eat.  There are lots of experts out there to tell us what to eat and when.  I am not one of those experts.  I can tell you what I know about food and skin.  

If you have dry skin or red skin you likely have a skin barrier malfunction.  This can come from over exfoliation, lack of moisture (internally) or using product that isn't best for you.  I find that most people are using too many things which complicates figuring out what is best to continue or stop.  

Food plays a part here as well.  A low fat diet may be great for your waist line but it can sometimes really be tough on your skin and moisture balance. 

Add in some: 
* fatty fish like salmon 
* avocados contain good fats that nourish skin
* walnuts
* sunflower seeds
*sweet potatoes
* dark chocolate

As I mentioned, I am not a doctor.  If you have dietary restrictions or health conditions please discuss nutritional changes with your doctor.  Eating a diet rich in good fats is proven to improve skin.  Be good to yourself, eat good foot, get facials, and wear some SPF.  You got this!

How long is too long?

3/17/2020

We all have one.  A drawer or container or bag of some sort with makeup and products that we "might need".  Have you considered how long is too long?  Here are our suggestions for shelf life of your products: 
* any open bottle of product has about a 1 year shelf life after opening or check the expiration date
* serums in amber bottles are placed in that type of packaging to avoid oxidation.  Sunlight, heat, opening and closing the bottle all contribute to oxidation which reduces the efficacy of products.  If  it is changing color it's time to pitch it!
* mascara is a 30 day item.  Yep, I know your mascara is likely a lot older.  More products are formulated now without parabens.  Well mascara should probably be an exception to that rule.  Parabens keep out bacteria.  No parabens= short shelf life.  Everytime you remove that wand and put it back in the container you are taking germs with it.  
* powder based makeup, especially mineral makeup is usually safe to use for up to 24 months
* liquid makeup should be discarded in one year or less

My biggest tip:  wash your hands before handling your products and makeup!  You can grow "critters" very easily by not using sanitary practices.  Avoid putting fingers in jars, use a Q-tip or other implement to remove products.

Massage is good for your immune system

3/17/2020

Studies show that a massage will reduce stress and boost your immune system.  Read the study.  During times of stress you should continue to receive regular massage.  We believe that this simple act of self care can be a boost not only in your mood but in your immune system.  We recommend monthly massage for body balancing and overall health.  Clients with chronic pain or diagnosed orthopedic conditions may want to receive massage twice per month or weekly.   Do not schedule a massage when you are sick or are feeling unwell.  Do you have questions about massage?  Email us , view our services FAQ, or schedule your massage.
