The Tired Mama
We know her! We are her!
Treatment Pick: Three For Me is a 2-Step treatment. Step 1 – For sun damage and facial veins. The first step treats discoloration and facial vessels using a technology called Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL. This can address unwanted sun damage including freckles, brown spots or age spots, and unsightly veins including broken blood vessels, facial veins and rosacea. Step 2 – For fine lines and wrinkles. The second step uses fractional laser technology to generate collagen and elastin – keys to the support structure of our skin. This results in the improvement of fine lines, wrinkles, scars and other surface imperfections.
Product Picks: SkinBetter Science Exfoliating Peel Pads 1-2x a week for a gentle, but effective exfoliation, improvement in the appearance of skin smoothness, clarity, and lines and wrinkles. PURE BioDerm Antioxidant Super Serum A high potency blend of super antioxidants – Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, Phloretin, and Peptides – to provide broad spectrum protection from environmental toxins. Also corrects and prevents premature signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation from sun and age related dark spots - for beautiful, healthy skin.
The Tired Dad
We know him! We’re married to him!
Treatment Picks: Brotox! Botox can be used to soften expression lines leaving dad looking refreshed and feeling his best. If “Dad Bod” is more the concern, our body sculpting services can be a great choice – Emsculpt to tone, and SculpSure / CoolSculpting to debulk away stubborn pockets of fat.
