The Fullness of Love

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:06:57 +0000

Where there is great love, there are always miracles ~ Willa Cather

Love transforms in ways that we cannot begin to imagine – it is the spark inside each of us that allows us to be vulnerable beyond our comfort level, that lets us perform unfathomable feats, and allows us to gently wipe away the tears of another’s pain or sorrow.

We are the embodiment of love. Each of us has a unique understanding of love – the way it makes us feel, the way we give it to one another, and even the types of love we experience. Love is inherent within our being, a direct piece of our essence. It is a treasure we each hold deep in our soul. As the keepers of such a precious gift, we are responsible for nurturing and creating the opportunity for love to grow. The authentic expression of love exchanged creates experiences for the extraordinary threads that define our lives.

Vitamin D – Quite Possibly the Most Important Nutrient

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 18:02:15 +0000

Vitamin D is quite possibly the most important nutrient for optimal immune function. Having adequate amounts of Vitamin D in the body will activate immune responses to prevent and/or treat inflammation and autoimmunity. This vitamin is crucial in activating our immune defenses and without sufficient intake of the vitamin our bodies will not be able to react to and fight off serious infections in the body.

DermaPlaning – Instant Gratification for Peoria and Glendale AZ Residents!

admin — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 22:10:06 +0000

What is DermaPlaning?
DermaPlaning is one of the most effective techniques used to exfoliate the outer skin layers using a blade instead of chemicals or lasers. DermaPlaning resurfaces the skin and removes unwanted facial hair temporarily. And no, the hair will not return thicker or darker after this treatment! Hair can trap oil and dirt leading to other skin problems, so DermaPlaning is a great preventative treatment. When compared to alternative treatments, DermaPlaning has the advantage of NOT causing broken capillaries on facial skin! This treatment is painless, very safe and is usually performed every 4-6 weeks. DermaPlaning is inexpensive and does not include a lot of downtime (a little redness 24-48 hours afterwards) which is always good for women with hectic work schedules. It can be performed on any skin tone. After DermaPlaning, the skin is left feeling baby smooth and make-up is much easier to apply. DermaPlaning also helps topical treatments work more effectively since the skin is “fresh”. A lack of skin cell “build up” allows creams/serums to work more effectively as they can penetrate more easily. DermaPlaning is not a new technique and has been used for many years. It is a quick way to immediately revitalize the skin and remove unwanted facial hair.

How is DermaPlaning Performed?
DermaPlaning is safely performed by using a sterile surgical blade. Don’t let the word blade overwhelm you, this is a very safe and effective skin rejuvenation treatment and can be compared to shaving. Your licensed aesthetician holds your skin as taut while stroking the blade against the skin at a 45 degree angle. This particular medical spa treatment is relatively quick and painless.

Will My Hair Grow Back Thicker?
This is a common misconception tied to Dermaplane name and is completely false. It is physiologically impossible for hair to grow back thicker. We have two different types of hair on our bodies Vellous hair and Terminal hair. Vellous hair which is most often located on our face and appears to be almost translucent or blonde. Where Terminal hair is much thicker and grows mainly on our under arms, pubic area, and eye brows. It can also be found on men’s legs and lower facial area.

How often is this procedure performed?
The normal skin growth cycle is around 30 days and since dermablading removes about 2-3 weeks-worth of dead skin cells, it’s best to wait about 3-4 weeks between treatments.

Can blading or DermaPlaning be performed in the same visit as a chemical peel?
A chemical peel done immediately after DermaPlaning is an excellent way to make sure that the peel penetrates deeper and more evenly. Lactic acid peels will hydrate and further exfoliate dry and normal skin while a glycolic acid peel is strong enough to combine with DermaPlaning for oily skin.

What skin types/conditions can be treated?
The only skin that probably shouldn’t be treated with DermaPlaning is acne-prone skin. The oil from the sebaceous glands needs to travel up and connect with the vellous hair in order for it to be excreted. If the hair is removed and the oil builds up, the glands are obstructed and cause more breakouts.

Boost Your Vitamin D

admin — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 16:00:38 +0000

Did you know that even in Arizona, our sunniest state, studies found that only 22% of residents had barely adequate vitamin D levels.

VITAMIN D contains cholecalciferol, which is the most potent form of supplemental vitamin D. 2,000IU per day provide enough vitamin D to rectify most deficiencies and supply the body with optimal levels of this beneficial immune-boosting nutrient. Studies indicate that inadequate amounts of vitamin D in the body can substantially increase the risk of a variety of diseases, including cancers, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression and multiple sclerosis as well as the risk of falling and infections.

BENEFITS:

Strengthens bones
Lowers the risk of getting many diseases and infections
Boosts the immune system
