  • Fight the Signs of Aging with Our Ultimate Age Defying Facial

    Watching your body change right in front of your eyes can be difficult. When we’re young we worry less about frown lines and crow’s feet, if at all. Although we were warned about our skin’s eventually changes, it’s jarring once they’re knocking on your doorstep. We adjust our skin care routine to incorporate more moisturizers and serums but it’s not always enough to get our skin looking like it was. Advanced Skin and Body Solutions’ signature Ultimate Age Defying Facial effectively targets aspects of aging skin to help it regain your skin’s youthful characteristics through 4 different therapies.

    What Aspects of Aging Skin Does the Facial Target?

    1.Thick Skin

    Over time, our skin goes through a lot. We experience acne and the scarring that comes along with it. Microdermabrasion is one of the skin therapies used in our Age Defying Facial. This medical grade, painless, non-invasive treatment involves spraying microcrystals onto the skin and using a suction device to exfoliate the skin and reduce the top layer of dead skin cells. It’ll leave your skin softer and smoother.

    2. Wrinkles, Fine Lines, Dark Spots, and Acne Scars

    The Glycolic Peel is an effective way to tackle wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, dark spots, and acne scars. This chemical peel captures the outer layers of skin, reducing rough and dry skin, leaving uneven skin coloring and wrinkles behind, ultimately improving your skin’s appearance.

    3. Skin Tone & Texture

    Another skin therapy we use in the Age Defying Facial is the LED Light Treatment, a.k.a. Photo Rejuvenation. Originally used in the U.S. by NASA to improve wound healing and tissue in space, this specific light at exact wavelengths can be absorbed by connective tissue cells, promoting the production of collagen and elastic proteins that make the skin supple and flexible. This light stimulates the skin and underlying tissues enough to make eyes look less puffy, define cheekbones and jaw line, and make skin overall firmer.

    4. Dull Skin

    Our skin loses its natural glow over time. The bt-micro® ultrasonic treatment also exfoliates to leave skin smooth, soft, and ready to absorb skin care products. The skin treatment uses ultrasonic microcurrents to encourage applied product further into the skin. The bt-micro treatment also increases circulation and promotes cell renewal.

    We recommend getting a series of 3 – 5 Age Defying Facials every 2 – 4 weeks that may give you the best results.

    The Best Part of Our Signature Facial

    Want to know the best part of our signature facial? It’s on sale for the entire month of April! Come in, sit back and relax while we work our magic.

  • Microblading: A Revolutionary Trend in Eyebrow History

    Beauty trends come and go but if eyebrow history tells us anything, thick brows always find a way back into the limelight. Thanks to celebrities such as Cara Delevingne and Lilly Colins, thick eyebrows have been one of the hottest trends in beauty within the past decade. Since 2015, studies found that sales of eyebrow grooming and treatment products increased by +250%, with some eyebrow growth serums seeing an increase of +200%. Across the country, women are paying top dollar for eyebrow growth serums that may or may not help them achieve the natural full brows they seek. But can we blame them? It feels like only a few years ago women were waxing, tweezing, and some even shaving off their brows to achieve wispy fine brows like Kate Moss, Pamela Anderson, and Gwen Stefani. With beauty trends constantly changing (and botched eyebrow jobs happening regularly), could microblading be the key to easily going thinker?

     

    Microblading is a new form of tattooing where pigment is embedded under the skin with hair-like strokes by a handheld tool. Unlike eyebrow extensions or drawing on your brows every morning, microblading offers a hassle-free option for those who always want their eyebrows ‘on fleek’ without the constant upkeep. Celebrities like Bella Thorne have embraced the new approach to the always-perfect full brow. The process is a little painful but anesthetics are usually used to keep clients feeling as comfortable as possible. While microblading is most loved for its low maintenance nature, it does require some attention after the procedure to keep your brows from fading or infection. The bright side: the results can last up to three years. As the pigment fading rate varies from person to person, it is recommended to go in for touch-ups every year. A few days of maintenance for years of your ideal brow? Yes, please.
    While thin brows have their glory decades such as the 20s, 30s, and 90s, we can always count on a Joan Crawford, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Nina Simone, Brooke Shields, Whitney Houston, Madonna, or Cara Delevingne to give life to a full brow resurgence. Whether you over tweezed and your brows were never the same again, or you follow brow trends, Advanced Skin and Body Solutions wants to help you achieve your eyebrow goals.

    Since microblading can be a big decision, especially if someone has previously wronged your brows, we offer FREE consultations for microblading. In our free consultation, we will walk you through the process, answer any questions or concerns you may have, and begin to learn about your natural brows hair growth pattern and determine which type of brow would work best for you. Advanced Skin and Body Solutions is here to help you achieve your most confident self. Call us today at 425-643-5772 to schedule an appointment or feel free to do so online.

  • Microneedling: A Quick Fix for Sun Problems

    Microneedling: A Quick Fix for Sun Problems

    Microneedling is offered at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions as an option for those who want to remove certain skin inequities. Microneedling tools cause a slight injury to the skin and activate the growth of collagen. Because summer usually entails a lot of sun exposure, we thought it may be useful to know which effects from the sun microneedling is especially great at fixing, including some that are just problems year-round, like stretch marks.

    1. Hand Rejuvenation
    By enabling elastin and collagen growth, microneedling helps the skin become thick and thus reduces the appearance of wrinkles and aging.

    2. Age Spots
    Excessive sun exposure can cause younger people to develop age spots, flat and light brown spots that are commonly seen in areas like the arms, hands, and shoulders. They appear more often in those over 50 years of age, but aren’t strangers to younger people. In micronoeedling, the pigment of those spots are reduced and sometimes gone!

    3. Rosacea
    For those who live with the skin disorder and can attest to their facial redness, know that microneedling is certainly a saving grace. Many things in the summertime can trigger rosacea including mere sunlight exposure. By inducing copious amounts of collagen, micro needling decreases the blood vessels’ hypersensitivity and thus, redness is reduced.

    4. Acne/Scars
    With all the sweating we do in the summer, acne can be quick to develop. Microneedling is a beneficial solution to acne as it helps to promote blood circulation and enhances the effect of acne products into treated areas for quicker and easier absorption. As for scars that acne is capable of leaving behind (oh, those painful memories), microneedling can improve the appearance of those scars. Scars from surgeries are also treatable with microneedling by using the device to jumpstart collagen growth.

    5. Stretch Marks
    These annoyances we get when our skin stretches faster than it can handle can become apparent and embarrass us. Usually seen in pregnancy, natural growth, or in gaining weight, stretch marks are fairly common, but aren’t completely unfixable. There’s a solution in microneedling which is responsible for improving them 70% of the way. Those are certainly odds we’re willing to bet on.

    This service may just become a special soon, so keep your eyes peeled for exclusive offers! We’re glad to be serving you and your skin needs. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions. You can set up an appointment or contact us.

  • The Spring Radiance Facial: An Extra Touch of Benefits

    [av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
    Spring is beginning to settle and we can tell because we have already started seeing some flowers appear. The Spring Radiance Facial at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions is utilizing our favorite part about Spring by combining fruits and flowers to take you back to times of warm, ocean side breezes and ultimately, take back the years.


    [/av_textblock]

    [av_one_full first min_height=” vertical_alignment=” space=” custom_margin=” margin=’0px’ padding=’0px’ border=” border_color=” radius=’0px’ background_color=” src=” background_position=’top left’ background_repeat=’no-repeat’ animation=”]
    [av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
    The pineapple used in our facial is formulated with moisturizing lactic acid and best of all, pineapple is known for containing digestive and skin softening enzymes that improve skin elasticity, skin hydration, and is effective at removing dead cells. The result is a clear, glowing complexion, perfect for the Spring and the upcoming Summer months. Now that there is more sunlight in our days, it’s important to note how much damage that can cause to our skin complexion by increasing the development of age spots. The pineapple in our Spring Radiance Facial is also a fighter against age spots and can help reduce them and fine lines.

    The Hibiscus flower makes an appearance in this tantalizing facial. The flower acids offer a greater moisturizing feature than the lactic acid alone. This makes the facial ideal for all skin types and often leaves the skin effective at stimulating collagen activity. For lasting results, the added Hibiscus provides antioxidants for radiant skin that lasts longer. We weren’t kidding when we said we could take back a couple of years, either. The Hibiscus flower is commonly known as the “Botox Plant,” as it is powerful in increasing skin elasticity and naturally firms and lifts your skin.

    Now think of all those wonderful things being massaged onto your skin as you sit back, relax, and prepare to wake up to a rejuvenated, radiant, and youthful you. We suppose it may also be safe to say Spring Break isn’t entirely over.

  • Acne AND Wrinkles – It’s Not Fair

    Of all the unfair beauty myths, the most frustrating is the notion that acne is a teenager’s problem. The truth is many people suffer from adult acne, which can be even more embarrassing because of the perpetuated belief that this problem magically goes away after a certain age.

    The good news is that because it is such a prevalent problem for adults, there are adult solutions — solutions that combat many adult skin issues at once including acne, fine lines, wrinkles and sun spots. How’s that for an adult solution, tackling all of your skin issues with one treatment?

    Two procedures offered for adult acne at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions are Microdermabrasion and Blue Light Therapy. And in addition to fantastic results seen by our clients with acne, they are both well-known to rejuvenate skin and give it a more youthful appearance (minus the pimples).

    Let’s take a look at microdermabrasion first. A combination of blasting your skin with aluminum oxide crystals and suction by a vacuum helps remove the top layer of skin cells. The crystals act as an abrasion element, gently peeling off the deal layers of skin, while the vacuum gently pulls the dirt and hardened oils from clogged pores. The process also stimulates collagen production, which is essential for keeping the skin tight and pores small. As pores are unclogged, future breakouts are prevented while the appearance fine lines and wrinkles is also minimized (thanks in part to the collagen stimulation). In addition to cleaning out active acne, microdermabrasion also helps rid your face of unwanted acne scaring, further reducing the embarrassing appearance of acne.

    While some patients notice subtle improvements after one treatment, a series of treatments is often recommended to further clean out the skin. Regular treatments can help patients maintain soft and clear skin. Imagine clear skin that is also tighter and brighter, that’s the power of microdermabrasion. Since this procedure is non-invasive, there is no downtime. However, patients may experience some redness immediately following the treatment, like a windburn, that should subside within a few hours.

    Another option to consider for acne is an acne blue light facial. During this 30-minute procedure, a special blue light is focused on the face by way of a hand-held wand. The bulbs in this wand aren’t your average light bulbs, this special blue LED light has a specific wavelength that penetrates the skin and effectively kills acne-causing bacteria allowing the skin to naturally heal on its own. While acne is eliminated by destroying the bacteria, the light also encourages cellular production, which leads to a softer smooth texture.

    The light procedure is completely painless; in fact, many patients find the warming light soothing. Additionally, there is now downtime with the blue-light facial and many patients find that they are able to return to work immediately after the procedure. Because of the gentle nature of this treatment, it can even be added to some of our other services so you can enjoy the benefits of multiple procures together.

    At Advanced Skin and Body Solutions we are dedicated to helping you fight all of your skin care battles including acne and wrinkles, so while it may not be fair that you have both, we are here to help.

  • Skin Care – It’s Not Just for the Ladies

    If a day at the spa sounds like ladies work to you, think again. More and more men are discovering the benefits of treating themselves to a day at the spa, especially when it comes to skin care.

    While women are traditionally more careful with preserving the look of their skin with creams and potions and what not, men are well, more hard core. Spending time in the sun, working long hours, drinking and smoking all contribute to aging; additionally men tend to have thicker more course skin adding to the aging process. Today’s man can benefit greatly from topical skin procedures such as microdermabrasion.

    A microdermabrasion treatment involves being “sandblasted” by aluminum oxide crystals to remove the top layer of the skin; dead skin cells. The results are softer smoother skin and a diminishing appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Combating years of neglect, this 30-minute procedure can quickly and painlessly provide men more youthful and healthy looking skin. Microdermabrasion can help men combat:

    • Acne blemishes
    • Enlarged and clogged pores, blackheads and whiteheads
    • Signs of aging
    • Hyperpigmentation
    • And more
