How Does Botox Work?

Before diving into the frequency and how often you should get Botox, let’s take a look at how it works. Botox is an anti-aging treatment that blocks the nerves in and around your forehead that prevents you from moving those muscles. This allows for a more refreshed and softer looking face. Botox is a completely safe and FDA-approved cosmetic procedure that focuses especially on forehead lines and crow’s feet around the eyes.

Who Should Get Botox?

The beauty of Botox is that it’s never too late or early (for adults) to start tackling wrinkles. Think it’s too soon for you? Think again. Preventative Botox is a thing and it’s something you should consider. Starting Botox before you actually have wrinkles and lines allows you to cease motions in the muscles that cause the lines themselves to form. Thus solving the problem before it becomes one.

How Often Should I Get Botox?

All good things must come to an end, or in this case, reapplied. Botox isn’t permanent and follow-ups are recommended to keep that youthful appearance. For best results, we’d like to see you at least every 90 days. The biggest reason to come in every three months is so the creases and lines don’t deepen with extended muscle movement. Again, the notion is that we can stop the muscle motion that actually causes the wrinkle.

If you’re worried about looking “overdone” or plastic-like, that’s the beauty of seeing a professional at Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa. One of our registered nurses will be able to examine your face, muscle structure and strength to ensure you get the most natural looking results as possible.

How to Avoid New Wrinkles?

As we mentioned, getting Botox on a regular basis is going to improve the look of wrinkles, but also stop new ones from forming and prevent existing ones from getting worse. There’s a few things to keep in mind for the sake of your skin and not creating new wrinkles. Wear an SPF (at least 30) every day to prevent UV damage, avoid smoking and eat healthy.

Facials, the ultimate luxury and act of pampering that you’re probably not doing enough. Have you wondered how often you should be getting facials? Usually people reserve facials for the most special of occasions, but did you know there’s a lot of benefits to getting monthly facials? Your skincare experts at Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa are here to explain.

The Skin Cycle is the process where skin cells regenerate and replace old skin cells, and any long-lasting results will take at least a full skin cycle to see. The average adult skin cycle is 28 days, and the very reason why professionals recommend monthly treatment is to ensure your skin progresses effectively through its full cycle of cell growth and exfoliation.

Many folks wait until it’s too late to get their next facial. They’ve woken up to a breakout or some skincare concern that’s now very visible, all of which could have been avoided beforehand with regular facials and the proper home care. Doing a treatment once a month ensures your skin is not clogged up with impurities, and that regeneration rate of skin cells is performing at its peak and not hampered by environmental or lifestyle factors. While getting regular treatments do a majority of the heavy lifting, facials also amplify the benefits of professional skin care products, as they work hand in hand to provide you with the best results possible.

Want to learn more about the benefits of getting a facial once a month? We’ve compiled a list of reasons for you to consider visiting Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa more often to take care of your skin and general well-being. Here are four benefits of scheduling regular facials every month.

1. Relaxation in the Hands of a Professional Aesthetician

This might seem like a no-brainer, but when you visit for a facial treatment at Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa you’ll not only be in the care of a licensed aesthetician, but our team receives extensive on-going training to stay up-to-date on the most advanced treatments available today. This means they’ll be able to address your skin with a professional and critical eye, and that means no guessing or trying when it comes to problem issues with your skin. By coming in once a month, one of our pros is maintaining your skin with clinical-grade products and techniques you just can’t apply at home.

2. Slow Down Signs of Aging and Skin Concerns

More than just an hour to relax, facials allow us to address skin concerns and combat aging. Regular facials promote collagen production, hydrate the skin and ultimately minimize fine lines and wrinkles. Products packed with antioxidants and nutrients along with exfoliation allows your face to fight aging. Facials can increase blood flow under the skin allowing renewal of skin cells. So if you need a remedy to combat signs of aging from developing sooner, receiving facials is an easy and effective solution.

3. Cleanses Deep Into Pores

Not unlike visiting the dentist, you can brush your teeth at home all you want, but you’re just not going to clean like a professional. Clogged pores don’t stand a chance against an aesthetician. We can apply acids and toners to loosen up clogged pores and have professional tools designed just for extractions. At home extractions can lead to scarring and broken blood vessels and do more damage than good.

4. Regular Facials Address All Skin Issues

The average facial is about 45 minutes to one hour, and though they can show excellent results in that timeframe, you can’t expect a miracle in a single session (cue Skin Cycle lesson!). Concerns like sun spots, wrinkles and generally vibrant skin need regular facials. By way of certain products and techniques, we’re able to address all issues with your skin throughout regular treatments and following prescribed home care.
