Med Spa Miracles: Five Ways to Maintain a Youthful Appearance

There are so many things we do in our day-to-day to keep ourselves vibrant; eat well, work out and wear sunscreen, but when it comes to maintaining a youthful appearance on our face, there are some things that are out of our hands. Regardless of how many healthy habits you’ve taken up, there’s only so much we can do, especially for our face. If you’re looking to maintain a youthful appearance, look no further than Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa in Gilbert, AZ. Our team of highly skilled professionals wants to work with you on your skincare goals and below you’ll find a few of suggested tips to looking as young as you feel…

1.) BOTOX

One of the fastest ways to take years off than with a quick injection of Botox. Both highly effective and safe, Botox is great ease into the sometimes overwhelming world of anti-aging treatments. With few restrictions and little to no downtime after your treatment, Botox is a total breeze.

2.) Voluma

As we age, our cheeks go flat and it’s a huge concern for lots of folks trying to refresh their look. The no scalpel-required treatment, Voluma, actually does wonders by lifting and contouring your cheek area— giving you a fuller and youthful appearance. The best part? This treatment can last up to two years, the only filler to do so.

3.) Microblading

One of the worst parts about getting older is the loss of eyebrows and the toll it takes on the general look of our face. Those once bushy and full brows take a turn for thinness as the years go by. Alas, now with Microblading, you can throw away your brow pencils with this semi-permanent treatment. One of our extremely trained technicians tattoos individual eyebrows hairs onto your face, providing a natural fuller-looking brow.

4.) Kybella

There are few things as bothersome as a turkey neck. That deposit of fat that sits under the chin and regardless of how many salads you eat, just will not go away and even gets worse with every passing birthday. With one of the most discussed treatments, Kybella, you can actually destroy those fat cells forever. Rid yourself of the wobble in just two treatments and zero touch-ups.

5.) PRP Facial

The PRP Facial starts with our very talented registered nurse drawing some of your blood with the smallest of pokes and then separates the blood into platelet-rich plasma that will be applied to your face. You’ll then receive micro needling— a method that not only allows the PRP to be better absorbed but also stimulates collagen production. The results are unlike any other facial you’ll ever receive— the ultimate in anti-aging treatments.

Ways to Extend the Life of Your Color

After finding the perfect stylist and agonizing over which shade, you’ve made the leap into an exciting new hair color— now to maximize the life of your color. What could be more frustrating than achieving your ultimate hair goals, only to see the color fade? With the help of Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa’s expert stylist and amazing products, you’ll be well on your way to long lasting hair color, but here’s a few more tips.

Wash Wisely: Choosing product is just as important as deciding on which salon to visit for your service. Sulfates and sodium chloride strip the hair of color. We suggest Pai-Shau’s Replenishing Hair Cleanser.

Keep it Cool: When rinsing your color treated-hair, you’ll want to avoid hot water because it may allow pigment to escape more freely. Fight the urge to turn up the heat and keep it cool so you don’t see color spinning down the drain.

Avoid the Sun: Not only are the sun’s harmful UV rays damaging to your skin, but also your hair and hair color. Too much sunshine can fade hair and cause hair dehydration. Protect and maximize your treatment with stylizing products that have specific UV absorbers (Pai-Shau offers great items). But if all else fails, just put on a hat.

Moisturize Often: Though it might sound like a simple tip, we can not stress the importance of moisturizing often to extend the life of your hair color. Few products work as well as the Supreme Revitalizing Mask from Pai-Shau, a fan-favorite at Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa, this magical infusion of polymers not only give your hair the moisture needed, it also has an anti-static barrier.

What is Dysport? Compare to Botox

Have you ever thought about getting cosmetic injections to treat your wrinkles and fine lines? With over 3 million botulinum toxin injections occurring every year, wrinkle erasing injections are a popular, safe, and effective method to treat signs of aging on the face.

These injections are most commonly referred to as “botox”. However, Botox is only one brand of botulinum toxin injection that can be used. Dysport is another brand of botulinum toxin that is also used to treat the appearance of wrinkles.

At Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa, Dysport and Botox are some of the many different cosmetic injections we offer. Dysport injections will smooth out the signs of aging in your skin, resulting in a younger appearance in just a few days.

But what is Dysport, and how long does Dysport take to work? What are the differences between Dysport vs. Botox? Keep reading to find out all there is to know about Dysport. 

What Is Dysport? 

Dysport is a formulation and brand of botulinum toxin Type A, or more specifically of abobotulinumtoxinA. Dysport is injected into the skin and can be used for both medical and cosmetic purposes. 

At Colair Beauty Loung & Med Spa, we use Dysport for cosmetic purposes only. This injection is used to treat the wrinkles that occur between your eyebrows, commonly referred to as “11 lines” or “frown lines”, forehead lines and “crows feet” or “smile lines” near the eyes. 

The appearance of frown lines can become quite pronounced as you age, and these lines will typically grow deeper with time. Dysport can help erase the appearance of these stubborn wrinkles, and leave you with more youthful-looking skin. 

How Does Dysport Treat Wrinkles?

Wrinkles form as a result of repetitive muscle movement in specific parts of the face. For example, raising and furrowing your eyebrows repeatedly over the course of many years can lead to forehead wrinkles and frown lines. 

Dysport wrinkle injections target and reduce the muscle contractions that lead to fine lines and wrinkles between your eyebrows. 

It is only approved to treat frown lines. However, if you are concerned about the signs of aging on other parts of your face or body, there’s no need to worry! 

At Colair, we offer a wide variety of anti-aging beauty solutions. From other anti-aging injectables to thorough facials and miraculous chemical peels, our team can help you decide which options work best for you and your skin!

The Results: How Long Does Dysport Take To Work? 

One of the many benefits of Dysport is that it is fast-acting, with most people starting to see results within 2-3 days! The full and final results should only take a 7-14 days to appear, making Dysport one of the fastest wrinkle treatments.

As with all other anti-aging injectables, the results of Dysport are not permanent. Most people need Dysport touch-ups every 3-4 months, which provides an added benefit for first-time users that want to try wrinkle injections without a lengthier time commitment. 

Dysport vs. Botox

Dysport and Botox are both anti-aging injectables that we proudly offer at Colair. These injections are both formulations and brands of botulinum toxin Type A. Though Dysport and Botox have similar qualities, there are also important differences between these two cosmetic injections. 

The differences between Dysport and Botox come from the different proteins involved. As mentioned previously, Dysport is formulated with abobotulinumtoxinA. Botox, however, uses a slightly different botulinum toxin called onabotulinumtoxinA. 

The different formulations of Botox and Dysport account for key differences between both treatments including:

  • Treatment areas
  • The time it takes for results
  • How long do results last
  • Cost of treatment

Treatment Areas: Botox vs. Dysport 

Botox and Dysport are both used to treat wrinkles in the upper half of the face. 

Dysport is approved to treat wrinkles between the eyebrows. These wrinkles, commonly called “frown lines”, can be effectively lessened with Dysport injections. 

Botox can also treat wrinkles between the eyebrows. However, Botox can treat areas other than frown lines, including the crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes) and forehead wrinkles. 

Time It Takes For Results 

One will start to see the results of Dysport after only 2-3 days, with final results appearing after one week. 

Botox results may not appear until one week after injection, with results taking as long as one month to appear on the face.

How Long Do Results Last?

Dysport and Botox wrinkle injections can last anywhere from 3-4 months, with some people seeing results for even longer.  

Cost of Treatment

Between Dysport and Botox, Dysport is the most cost-effective option. 

At Colair, one unit of Botox costs $10.50, whereas Dysport costs $4.50 per unit. However, with Dysport you need double the Botox units. In the end you may save a little with Dysport. This may be something to consider when deciding on which wrinkle injection suits you best, however both options will be thoroughly discussed with Colair’s Registered Nurse prior to treatment. 

Benefits of Dysport

Dysport is a great and effective option for treating stubborn frown line wrinkles. The benefits of botox are numerous, and include: 

  • Fast results (2-3 days)
  • No downtime
  • Lasts 3-4 months
  • Very effective at targeting frown line wrinkles
  • Can be tailored to your specific cosmetic needs

If you’re wondering how to reduce wrinkles, Dysport is a great and safe option available through our skilled injectors at Colair! 

Other Cosmetic Injections

If you have concerns about other signs of aging on other parts of your face that neither Dysport nor Botox don’t cover, don’t worry! Our services at Colair provide a number of other anti-aging treatments. 

If you are concerned about fine lines around your mouth, or if you’re worried about a loss of volume in your face due to aging, then fillers are another great option for you. 

These cosmetic injections will increase volume in the skin, and fill in deep-set lines on other parts of your face. Many people opt to get both Botox/Dysport and filler to maximize anti-aging results!

5 Benefits of Dermaplaning You’ll Love to Keep Scheduling

If you ask any serious beauty-buff what the secret to glowing skin is, you’ll more than likely get an earful about dermaplaning. Done by taking a scalpel and scraping the top layers of dead skin off, dermaplaning sounds way more terrifying than it actually is. For the sake of not looking like you got into a fight with a blender, this treatment should only be done by a professional like the ones at Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa. We offer this service as an add-on to our facials. Below are some reasons why we’re obsessed with dermaplaning.

1.) Helps Reduce Signs of Aging

Dermaplaning actually helps promote the production of matrix proteins such as collagen and elastin which therefore reduces the signs of aging.

2.) Makes Your Skincare Absorb Better 

With all of that dead skin removed, your products will penetrate your skin so much better. You’ll find that you’re using less cream/serum and it glides on much easier.

3.) Helps Battle Acne 

Not just for giving you a glowing complexion, dermaplaning helps with “hyperkeratosis” which is a buildup of the top layer of skin, that not only dulls your complexion but also contributes to acne.

4.) Removes Peach Fuzz

Who isn’t without those random patches of ‘baby hair’? Since dermaplaning is essentially shaving down your face, you’ll lose the hair and dead skin cells at the same time.

5.) Even Skin Tone

Besides just improving the texture of your skin, it even helps the color of your skin to appear more even— especially great for hyper pigmentation!

Voluma VS Juvederm

voluma vs juvedermAre you debating about which hyaluronic acid filler is right for your skin and wrinkles? Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa Gilbert AZ can provide a free consultation with our certified nurse injection specialists. Our clients are often interested in Juvederm and Voluma, and compare Voluma VS Juvederm.

Both Juvederm and Voluma are types of hyaluronic acid fillers and the absolute latest in beauty enhancing clinical treatments. They are also completely safe, FDA approved and, although they are long-lasting but not permanent, they are reversible should the patient desire. These treatments do, however, differ in a few key ways that all potential users should know.

Firstly, hyaluronic acid fillers are simply a natural substance already found in the human body. High concentrations are found in places like our cartilage, joint fluid and soft connective tissue. Science has found a way to extract this naturally occurring acid, reformulate it and distribute it as what has become the most popular kind of injectable filler for its firming and smoothing effect on skin. It is the key ingredient in both Juvederm and Juvederm Voluma. Juvederm is used to add fullness or evenness to lips and smooth any wrinkling in the area of skin surrounding the lips, especially the area between the nose and mouth. Juvederm is also popular for use in softening what are known as “marionette lines” between the mouth and cheeks which occur with age.

Juvederm Voluma is typically used as a cheek filler. If you are comparing Voluma VS Juvederm, and would like to enhance your cheeks, Voluma is a great choice! It is FDA approved for deep injection into sunken cheeks which often occur as a person ages. Due to the depth at which it should be injected, Voluma is a much stronger filler and not interchangeable with the gentler, surface-level Juvederm formula. Both are excellent options for beauty enhancing facial treatments and both are offered by Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa’s skilled staff. All procedures come with a completely free consultation prior to appointments in order to educate the client fully and allow for the most confidence and comfort going into the treatment.
