  • How Fillers Can Help With Signs of Aging in Bellevue

    If you have noticed some signs of aging becoming more prominent on your face, you may have already begun the process of looking into solutions. Perhaps you have discovered that there are more options available today than the well-known Botox (such as fillers!), and are now wondering how fillers can help with signs of aging. 

    At first glance, these different approaches to smoothing those fine lines and wrinkles may seem extremely similar, so we wanted to take the time to clear up any confusion by introducing fillers, explaining what they are and what to expect, and going over the differences between Botox vs. fillers! Let’s dive right in. 

    What are Fillers? 

    There are a handful of different varieties of injectable dermal fillers, but the premise behind all of them is the same. These injections are a non-surgical, non-invasive, and minimally-painful way to address all of your aging skincare concerns. Injectable dermal fillers not only reduce the fine lines and wrinkles that come along with your skin getting older, but they also fill out particular areas of your face that may be less plump and supple, leaving your skin looking younger and fresher.

    Where Can You Get Fillers? 

    There are many potential treatment areas for fillers. This solution for aging skin can be utilized nearly anywhere there are signs of time passing on your face. From lips and mouth to nose and cheeks and more, injectable dermal fillers can be utilized to bring you back to your youthful luster. 

    What Results to Expect with Fillers

    Injectable dermal fillers have many benefits, and there are numerous great results that you can expect to achieve with your first treatment. Immediately, you should notice fine lines and wrinkles become smoother, if not disappear almost entirely. Your skin will also appear plumper and more supple, giving you lift and smoothness where you once had it before and eliminating the inevitable sag that often comes with a decline in hyaluronic acid and collagen production. Speaking of collagen, another result you can expect with fillers is stimulation of your natural collagen production, leading to your skin gaining the ability to repair itself and become healthier in addition to looking fresh and young again!

    Botox vs. Fillers

    You may be reading through this and thinking to yourself, “what is the difference between Botox vs. fillers?” It’s true that these approaches seem very similar in nature and in results, so what makes them unique from each other? While Botox seeks to temporarily paralyze portions of your face that may be more susceptible to wrinkles, fillers address areas that could benefit from more volume or plumpness. In addition, Botox results last only 3-4 months, while injectable dermal filler results last 6-18 months. In either scenario, your face will look younger and more refreshed, but follow-up appointments may be required for long-term maintenance. 

    Fillers at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions

    At our Bellevue Med Spa, we have multiple kinds of injectable dermal fillers, and our staff is knowledgeable about the differences, so we know which one to recommend to you for your specific skincare concerns. One of our most popular fillers is Sculptra®. 

    Sculptra®

    If you are looking for an injectable dermal filler that accentuates your natural beauty and brings back that youthful glow, Sculptra® may be the perfect solution. This filler is derived from fruit acid, and is biodegradable with sterile water and poly-L-lactic acid. The sterile water creates subtle, immediate results. As the immediate results fade over time, the poly-L-lactic acid promotes collagen production to gradually smooth wrinkles and add volume.

    Sculptra® is perfect for individuals who want to add volume to their buttocks (like a “non-surgical” bottom lift). It is not suitable for around the eyes or lips, so if your main skincare concerns lie in that area, another option may be a better fit. Patients may need a series of treatments and it may take weeks or months to see final results, however, the results can last up to two years.

    How is CoolTone™ different from CoolSculpting®?

    CoolSculpting is a convenient, painless, and non-invasive treatment that freezes away unwanted fat to create a slimmer body. CoolTone is the perfect compliment to CoolSculpting. While CoolSculpting helps you lose fat, CoolTone increases your muscle mass and tone to further fat reduction and build stronger, firmer-looking body parts

  • Jennifer In The Community: How The Coronavirus Pandemic Is An Opportunity

    The Coronavirus Pandemic Is An Opportunity

    Founder and President Jennifer Washburn
    Jennifer Washburn, Founder & President of Advanced Skin and Body Solutions

    The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has had a significant impact on the global economy. People everywhere are feeling the economic slowdown and local businesses in particular are experiencing negative consequences. As a medical spa, Advanced Skin and Body Solutions had to temporarily close its doors starting in March 2020. Owner Jennifer Washburn was disappointed about having to lay off her employees during the shut down. Like other owners of non-essential local businesses that had to close their doors, she is navigating the challenges of keeping the medical spa afloat during this time.

    It’s easy to take a negative view of everything that’s going on, but we have a different perspective at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions. With Jennifer’s leadership, we’re approaching the situation with optimism and positivity. The key word for us is “opportunity”. More specifically, we think that the coronavirus pandemic is an opportunity to reflect on what’s really important, grow to meet our community’s needs, and practice gratitude.

    Jennifer was a guest on Naomi Morgan’s “Seattle Diva” podcast recently. You can click this link to hear their conversation from May 1st, 2020 on Apple Podcast. Read below to get a summary.

    The Coronavirus Pandemic Is An Opportunity For Reflection

    Life is busy. Many of us struggle to keep up with day-to-day life – going to work, putting dinner on the table, doing housework, picking kids up from extracurricular activities, organizing a social schedule – you name it. Those whose regular work activities stopped during the pandemic suddenly had the chance to slow down and think about how they want to live their lives. With many organizations still currently closed, the coronavirus pandemic is an opportunity to reflect on what to keep in and out of our lives when everything opens back up.

    For Jennifer, the pandemic has given her perspective on what’s really important in life. She started the Bellevue medical spa back in the early 2000s because she saw a way to help others (click here to read the whole story of Advanced Skin and Body Solutions). Our services have always been about taking care of people – making them look and feel their best. That’s just as important now as it ever was. Excellent service, quality patient care, and relationships have always been among our core values, and the pandemic has reinforced the importance of these values.

    It’s An Opportunity For Growth

    Coronavirus Pandemic Is An OpportunityThe coronavirus pandemic is an opportunity for growth, too. As the global community grapples with understanding the virus and what to do about it, we all have to figure out how to adapt to a different status quo.

    For Jennifer, the first step is understanding that people are confused, frustrated, and scared about what’s happening. These emotions cause people to say and do things that they wouldn’t normally say and do – and that’s okay. It takes time for people to accept a new normal.

    Now the team at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions is thinking about how to be part of the solution. We want to keep our community healthy and connected while succeeding in business at the same time. There will be an adjustment period, but adjust we will.

    Some of the specific ways that Advanced Skin and Body Solutions is learning, growing, and adapting include:

    • Having virtual team meetings. (Even though we’re temporarily closed, we’re staying connected and planning for the best re-opening possible).
    • Offering free virtual consultations. (Call or text 425-643-5772 to schedule a free virtual consultation for any of our services).
    • Determining how to take extra health and safety precautions once we’re open again. (We’ve always been great at health and safety precautions, but we want to make sure we’re doing everything we can).
    • Pursuing professional development. (We like to offer cutting-edge services and techniques so that patients get the best results).
    • Taking care of the team. (Jennifer is doing everything to be able to re-hire her valued employees as soon as possible).
    • Researching business resources. (There are a lot of resources available to help small businesses bounce back… If you’re a small business owner who needs guidance, feel free to get in touch).

    It’s An Opportunity For Gratitude

    Last but not least, the coronavirus pandemic is an opportunity to practice gratitude. The reality is that we still have a lot to be thankful for. From Jennifer’s perspective, she may be navigating a lot of challenges right now but she still has food, family, and the chance to do good in the world. Advanced Skin and Body Solutions is a big part of this chance to do good and we can’t wait to see it unfold.

  • Skin Care: The Hottest Summer 2017 Beauty Trend

    While great skin care has been/is / will always be a cornerstone of the beauty world, celebrities (like Alicia Keys and Zoe Saldana) have helped make it one of the hottest trends this summer by wearing their bare faces on red carpets, premieres, and other events. The combination of summertime and soft little-to-no makeup looks has many of us chasing this natural, dewy summer glow.

    But how do we go about getting this summer look?

    Here are 4 tips to achieve healthy, glowing skin.

    Wear Less Face Makeup

    Not only is this the key tip for this trendy summer look but it’s also practical. It allows your skin to breathe and helps keep oils from accumulating and clogging pores. It also keeps you from worrying if your foundation is smearing or looking cakey. Reducing your foundation use will allow you achieve this look while being practical, cost-effective, and time-saving.

    If you don’t feel comfortable going without foundation, dip your toe in by wearing lightweight foundation instead of a full coverage or use a light concealer to cover blemishes or spots.

    Brush up your brows, highlight your cheekbones, and tap on some blush and/or bronzer to elevate your natural look.

    Switch to a Foamy Cleanser

    It’s a common practice to use creamy cleansers during the winter season to fight dry, flaky skin. While this is a great move for cold weather, it isn’t helpful during the summer when we’re dealing with humidity and heat that causes us to sweat more. Switching over to a foam or foamy cleanser will more effectively fight the extra grime and oil that comes with the summer months.

    Exfoliate

    Use a gentle exfoliant 1-2 times a week to reduce dead skin cells and clean out pores. Feel free to use a gentle cleansing brush to thoroughly cleanse without damaging your skin. Try to avoid products containing ingredients that make you more susceptible to the sun, like glycolic or retinol. While we want to make way for product to reach the skin, we don’t want to make way for the sun.

    Still feeling grimy? Our Dermazyme Facial is a great, relaxing way to achieve the fresh, glowing summer skin we’re all striving for. (Psst! And it’s on sale this month!)

    Sunscreen & Lightweight Moisturizers

    Although our skin holds in moisture better in the summer, it’s still crucial to protect it. Even if you aren’t hanging outside, be sure to apply sunscreen as you start your day to protect you from any sun exposure. If you are spending your day at the beach, lake, etc., remember to reapply often as sunscreen smears and fades – especially on a sweaty day.

    Even if you find your skin oily during these hot months, don’t ditch your moisturizing routine. Switching to a lightweight moisturizer can bring you the protection your skin needs without leaving you feeling sticky or over moisturized. A water-based lightweight moisturizer helps continue to fight wrinkles, reduce the appearance of existing blemishes, and help promote skin rejuvenation.

  • 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.

  • Spring Skin Complications & Solutions

    Now that we see more daylight and see more flowers and feel the heat seeping into our lives again, we can officially conclude that Spring is here! You might be thinking you can say goodbye to dry skin, etc, but Spring is packed with plenty of skin problems of it’s own. Here are some solutions to those that might help you enjoy the coming of Spring a little more.

    Problem 1: Scaly rough patches that may be eczema
    Surprising to some, the heat of Spring can actually dry out your skin and the water within
    it, causing patches of scaly skin to appear.
    Solution: Find a humectant-based moisturizer to apply after you clean any area of your
    body experiencing eczema. This way, the skin will remain moist and smooth.

    Problem 2: Small pimples and blushing
    Perhaps you have a small or big case of rosacea. Rosacea can appear on different parts
    of your body and the face. For those with sensitive skin, it’s not uncommon to start
    feeling and seeing the redness from heat.
    Solution: Find an anti-inflammatory soother or use sunscreen daily of SPF 30.

    Problem 3: Heat Rash with itching
    A heat rash is often the cause of your sweat ducts being blocked and so your body heats
    up since it can’t release that sweat (which is what actually cools you down) beneath the skin.
    Solution: Applying some menthol on the affected areas should improve the burning sensation. Ice packs to cool you down will also reduce the rash.

    Problem 4: Itchy skin because of increased allergies in the air
    While the brutal cold has come and gone, itchy skin because of blooming allergies isn’t
    uncommon.
    Solution: Shower after coming from outside so those allergens don’t stay on your skin for too long, exercise near the end of the day since allergen counts will be less, and be careful what you put on your face. Be sure to apply sunscreen coats and try to limit the use of products that contain harsh chemicals.

    Keep your skin feeling and looking great with some TLC at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions. It’s clear to see that the Spring is great, but can still cause some irritation to your skin. Our Signature Series Experience features 3 facial treatments at our best value to keep your skin smooth, healthy, and protected. Book yours today!
