It’s Healthy Aging Month!
We say it all the time, but it’s time for you to fully embrace healthy aging. September is Healthy Aging Month and we want to spread awareness about some of the services we offer to help you feel more confident by looking and feeling your best. We always remind our patients that although more wrinkles and fine lines can appear with time, getting the opportunity to age is a wonderful and beautiful thing! If you’re wondering what are some ways to embrace your age and live life beautifully, at Ooh La La Spa, Anti-Aging & Wellness, we can help you.
What even is collagen?
Collagen is the most common protein in the body and is used to form a framework to support all of skin cells and tissue. As we age, our skin loses its ability to produce collagen at the same rate as when we were younger, which can sometimes make it harder for your skin to recover from blemishes, dark spots and can prevent your skin from repairing itself. After the age of 25, people lose around 1% of the collagen your skin was producing annually. There are several treatments that can help boost the natural production of collagen and give your skin a glow, but the one I love the most is Ultherapy.
Give your skin some love with Ultherapy
All you need to know about Botox
Dr. Kristen Jacobs recognized as a National Master Injector and Certified Allergan Trainer so if you are not sure if getting injectables is right for you, she can walk you through everything you need to know. If you are interested in getting rid of some of those wrinkles and lines, Botox might be the next step.
Botox targets the underlying cause of crow’s feet and frown lines which is the repeated muscle contractions from frowning or squinting. When you receive treatment, we inject these muscles with Botox to temporarily reduce muscle activity. The actual process takes about 10 minutes, but the number of treatments you will need to reach your goal will need to be determined at your one on one consultation. You may begin to notice results within 3-5 days for moderate to severe frown lines, with results lasting up to 4 months!
“Forever young, I wanna be forever young”
Forever young, I wanna be forever young…..hopefully you know the song. Another incredible treatment that can help you embrace your age and feel like your best self is Forever Young BBL. This treatment uses the power of intense pulsed light to deliver amazing results for our patients through photorejuvenation therapy and targets a patient’s skin concerns, particularly fine lines, sagging skin, and wrinkles. BBL treatment is not a laser treatment. While laser treatments are a single wavelength, BBL uses a broad spectrum of light that can be filtered several different ways to treat many different skin conditions. It also treats a larger area of skin than a laser.
