Getting into a scrape with microdermabrasion kits

The LA Times recently reviewed at-home microdermabrasion kits. You can read their review here. Of note, reviewers found that med spa professional sessions were, “not just a cut above the home sessions, it was a whole different ball game. . . . The effects were impressive.”

Microdermabrasion, whether done at home or at your med spa, gently removes the top layers of damaged skin using a crystal-free diamond-tip head that gently exfoliates and resurfaces the skin. The innovative result gives you newer, smoother, and clearer skin. Microdermabrasion can correct skin texture, uneven pigmentation, improve light wrinkling, age spots, acne scarring, and correct or improve whiteheads and black heads.

At Rejuve MedSpa in La Jolla, a unique crystal-free exfoliator, the finest and safest equipment for this procedure, is used in order to obtain optimal results.

As your local med spa or esthetician if microdermabrasion is a fit for you. Obtaining the best results requires consistency of treatments.

Men are treating spider veins more and more

Spider veins-those red and violet spots of fine lines, are typically a problem women have on their legs. Med Spas across the country are reporting, however, that MEN are seeking treatment for spider veins.

The most common procedure to get legs swimwear ready and vein free is sclerotherapy. Med Spa professionals use a safe sclerosing formula that is injected into the vessels to result in clearer, younger, and short-short ready legs. This procedure is less painful, faster, and yields better results than laser treatments that most other spas offer. With no downtime, very minimal bruising, and fast results, mens’ legs will be ready to be shown-off in only 2 to 4 sessions that last only 15 to 45 minutes. Although this procedure has been used in Europe for over 50 years, it has only recently become popular in the United States over the past decade. In La Jolla, California, Rejuve MedSpa is one of the few professional med spas to take on this new, fast, and safe procedure.

Reversing Sun Damage

During the warm summer months there is nothing more relaxing then laying out on the beach soaking up the sun. In Southern California, along the shores of La Jolla, the beach is the place to be, but extended exposure to sunlight means skin damage. The sun’s rays can damage our skin cells as well as our DNA which can cause cataracts, dark spots, and harmful skin cancers. It is important to not only protect skin from sun damage but to treat skin and maintain its wellbeing.

At your local health spa you can find skin treatment services that not only reverse sun damage but also rejuvenate the skin to give it a more youthful, healthy appearance. Look for light based skin treatments that utilize pulsed light to remove sun and age spots and skin discoloration. The treatments are quick, painless, and require no recovery time. Peels are also a great way to treat the skin. Medical spas usually offer both chemical and non-chemical peels, including some with no downtime at all so you can get fresh looking skin immediately. Peels remove dead skin and stimulate collagen to create a smooth finish. Finally, consider photorejuvenation, also called IPL, which is a treatment designed to fade sun spots.

As always, contact your Esthetician or Skin Care Specialist to find which treatment is best for you.
