New Year - New You!
We love the energy that the new year brings. After the busy holiday season, it’s the perfect time to focus back on yourself and your goals for the fresh year ahead. Here at Polished MedSpa, we love to partner with our clients to make them look and feel their very best. There are so many products and services on the market today to help accomplish this. But we want to simplify things for you and share our top two recommendations to enhance your skin and promote a youthful appearance this year: wrinkle relaxers and medical grade skincare!
Get Started with Wrinkle Relaxers (Even if You Don’t Have Any Yet!)
You’re most familiar with Botox, but we have several wrinkle relaxers here at Polished MedSpa. Neuromodulators, a.k.a. Tox – also includes Dysport and Jeuveau.
It’s common to believe that you don’t need to start a tox until wrinkles start to set in - but this is not the case! The BEST time to start a tox is BEFORE you have permanent static lines that are visible when your facial expressions are at rest. Botox works by temporarily freezing the facial muscles to keep you from contracting them over and over – which prevents lines from appearing or getting worse.
For best results we recommend retreating every 3 months – as wrinkle relaxers wear off in this timeframe. Being consistent and proactive is key! Botox or Dysport help to soften your current lines, but they won’t make them disappear all together. That’s when we incorporate some other skin strategies to help you achieve that youthful appearance. Namely – excellent skin care!
Establish the Right Skincare Routine
Proper skin care is the essential foundational step to ensure a beautiful complexion. It’s truly a non-negotiable if you want glowing, healthy skin! If you don’t have a skincare routine established, it may be tempting to jump right to those ‘anti-aging’ products – like a retinol. But we highly recommend starting with our ‘getting skin ready’ or GSR products. These are products that do the 3 following things:
Cleanse – absolutely essential to restore, replenish, and retain hydration in the skin’s barrier.
Exfoliate – removes dead skin, prevents clogged pores, and establishes a smooth and even toned complexion. Getting your pores open and clear allows your other products to work more effectively.
Tone – A toner ensures your skin is completely clear of surface dirt and oil. Toning pads decrease oils, further exfoliate, and provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
ZO Skin Health is hands down the best medical grade skincare line out there. We’ll give you specific product guidance on what to use based on your unique skin type!
Put Your Best Face Forward in 2024
In addition to skincare and tox – we have an abundance of treatments to further enhance your skin and revitalize your complexion. Dr. Cameron Luth is our laser specialist who will help correct and improve a variety of skin concerns you may be experiencing. Age spots, freckles, redness, blood vessels, acne, enlarged pores, unwanted hair – the list goes on! Our team also includes Tatum Hax, our Licensed Medical Esthetician. Tatum offers a variety of aesthetician services such as facials and chemical peels.
We’d love to see you at Polished MedSpa to start your year off right. Schedule a consultation with us and we’ll support you with determining what products or services will best meet your needs to achieve amazing skin!
