By: Kelley Rosen, Licensed Medical Aesthetician Have you ever had so many bottles of product in your bathroom that you get called the "Bottle Queen"? Well, I have at my house. One product wouldn't work so I would go to another and then another. That adds up! Then, I would throw them out, expired. What a waste! Finally, I started using medical grade products and I could finally see a real improvement in my skin. So, I wanted to know what the deal was. Medical grade skin care costs more than over-the-counter (OTC) skin care because the products are formulated by a team of doctors and scientists, put through clinical trials, and effectively show genuine results! OTC products aren't as expensive because they have very little active ingredients, are less effective, and are not regulated. So, you end up buying more and more. Therefore, spending about the same thing if you had originally purchased medical grade skincare products. So, here is where buying counterfeit vs. authentic medical grade skincare product comes into play. Counterfeit products are less expensive...oh boy, here we go again! They are fake, diluted, expired, improperly stored (in too hot temperatures), missing key active ingredients, and made without safety and quality assurance. I get it! We all want the best for less! But, if your medical grade skincare isn't coming from the manufacturer, it is counterfeit. These products are illegal and can be dangerous. This risk could be adverse reactions, allergic reactions, infections, and erythema. Be wary of buying these on Amazon or eBay. Why not invest in your skin and be safe? Please call for a free consultation with one of our aestheticians to guide you with what you need or drop by The Skin Solution store and talk with Audrey. Each year, we try to enhance your experience at Hull Aesthetics by adding new services and products to our repertoire. We extended our aesthetic services to our Springdale Har-Ber Meadows location in the summer, offering fillers, facials, and peels to local residents. In addition, we expanded our Spring Patient Appreciation Days and Fall Open House to four-day events to provide you with an easier and more convenient shopping experience. In November, our on-site store, The Skin Solution, celebrated a second birthday during our Fall Open House. Thankfully, you have embraced our store and we are happy to see so many people dedicated to their skin health. We are always looking for the latest and greatest, and throughout the year we added several products to our store including Lytera 2.0, HA5 Lip Plump, and Heliocare. We also brought an old favorite - the melanage peel - back for our patients. Our body contouring treatment options expanded with the arrival of Vanquish and soon afterwards, we introduced the power of vibration for cellulite reduction - Cellutone. Over on the injection side, we welcomed new fillers in the form of Juvederm Vollure, Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne. All in all, 2017 was a wonderful year here at Hull. We are already planning for 2018 and we hope that each of you realize how much we appreciate you for your continued loyalty to our practice. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you! Education is very important to us. We endeavor to stay abreast of the latest updates to our procedures and products so we can give you the most up-to-date advice. Recently, Dr. Hull sent Hezell and Gail to CoolSculpting University to learn the latest and greatest. Also, Susie's professional title just got a little bit longer after she sat for the Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist Exam last month. COOLSCULPTING UNIVERSITY By: Hezell Montoya Gail and I just returned from CoolSculpting University where we attended an advanced training and learned about the latest technologies and procedures. We met many other specialist providers and had the opportunity to network and learn more from them. It was an exciting week. I am so excited to share this newly acquired knowledge with our colleagues and patients. One unique aspect of CoolSculpting is that we are able to create a custom plan we call “T2T” which translates to “Treatment to Transformation”. Based on your body type, CoolSculpting is the number one non-invasive fat reduction procedure worldwide, according to CoolSculpting University. After a session with the Executive Director of Advanced Development, I learned first-hand the ongoing investment, research and commitment that CoolSculpting invests to ensure patient safety above all else. I express my gratitude to Dr. Hull for her commitment to invest in my colleagues and me because, thanks to these opportunities, we can provide safe procedures with optimal results for our patients. CANS TESTING As a nurse injector, Susie typically is the one training injectors nationally for companies like Allergan and Galderma. However, she recently sat for her Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist Exam. Administered by the Plastic Surgery Nurse Board and the Center for Nursing Education and Testing, the CANS exam is offered to nurses meeting the specified criteria. The PSNCB believes that attainment of a common knowledge base, utilization of the nursing process, and a high level of skill in the practice setting are required for proficient practice. Certification provides professional recognition for these achievements. The Board recognizes the value of education, administration, research, and clinical practice in fostering personal and professional growth. Congratulations Susie! We are proud of you.
