THE 70|30 DIFFERENCE! 70% TREATMENT + 30% PRODUCT = 100% RESULTS! OPEN HOUSE PREVIEW EDITION! IN THIS APRIL ISSUE: Botox, Dysport, and Fillers: How much do you need to get? Get rid of cellulite with BTL Cellutone Hull Lotta Love Staff Spotlight: Gail Young Monthly Before and After: CoolSculpting Open House Info Clinical Trials New Rosacea Study GAIL HAS A HULL LOTTA LOVE FOR OBAGI Ladies, I have got a lotta love for my favorite skin care line – Obagi, and I will tell you why. I am 56 years old and I have struggled with age spots, large pores, uneven skin tone, and awful skin texture. My parents had some great genes that they passed to me, but good skin wasn’t one of them! Previously, my regimen consisted of cleanse, tone, and moisturize. It seemed no matter what the product line, how much it cost, and all the promises the advertising stated, I never felt like I got any real results. Finally, I discovered the Obagi “Nu-Derm” system. Each bottle is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 etc...it makes it so simple and easy to use. I used to get so confused on which product to use, when during my steps, and I probably wasted more than anything else. Of course, it’s important to have your skin exfoliated either mechanically or manually once a month. We offer both microdermabrasions and dermaplane treatments here. This will ensure your products are penetrating your skin layers and you are getting maximum results, and the best bang for your buck! If you are new to the area, or have never been to Hull Aesthetics, call and schedule a free consultation with one of our aestheticians. They will analyze your skin and advise you on both a short- and long-term approach to better, younger looking skin. The before and after pictures are from the past six months, which is when I began using the Obagi line. Please also keep this in mind: Obagi skin care products include prescription 4% hydroquinone and are available only through physicians, medical spas, and other skin care and medical professionals. The only way to ensure your Obagi product is genuine is to purchase it through one of these authorized channels. SCAR WARS: MOISTURIZE THOSE MARKS AWAY! By: Kelley Rosen, Licensed Medical Aesthetician Recently, I've used SkinMedica's Scar Recovery Gel on surgical scars and am very pleased. I recently had surgery and I don't like the unpleasant scars. My scars are still slightly pink because they are recent. Lactic acid in the gel will help alleviate this, and the scars are flat without excessive scar tissue. I started using Scar Recovery Gel about a week after the bandages came off. Quick healing scars tend to be less visible. Moisture is key in scar management! This gel is full of moisturizing and hydrating ingredients! Its star ingredient is Centelline, commonly known as Gotu Kola. It is a highly effective antioxidant and also acts as an antibacterial, reducing inflammation (which is scar inducing) and infection. Scar Recovery Gel can also be used for some acne scarring. Come by The Skin Solution store to pick yours up today or order online. BOTOX, DYSPORT, AND FILLERS: HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED TO PURCHASE? We always have patients who want to know how much Botox or Dysport they should purchase at Open House. This can get confusing when we are evaluating different parts of our face. Below is a guide on how much Botox or Dysport is typically used in areas around the face. (Please keep in mind that Botox and Dysport units are measured differently). Not sure how many syringes of fillers you need for Open House purchases? Here are three options to help you decide: Option 1: Decade Dosing Option 2: The 1-2-3 Approach Option 3: Still unsure what you need? Whichever option you choose, remember that getting dermal fillers is a journey and not an immediate destination. Fillers last six months to two years, depending on the product and the location in which they are placed, and require maintenance treatments to keep your optimal results. GET RID OF CELLULITE By: Gail Young, Licensed Massage Therapist Sick of cellulite? My recommendation is to get started with BTL Cellutone. This procedure will help reduce the visible signs of cellulite and lax skin. Cellutone uses mechanical vibration, which increases circulation and blood supply to the treatment area. This in turn flushes out waste and helps to create a smooth skin surface. Cellutone is sold as a package – a total of six treatments, and you’ll want to come in one or two times per week. Treatment time is short; you will be in and out of the office in less than 30 minutes. It is relatively painless, there’s no downtime, and you can go about your day as normal. Some people see results in as early as two treatments. For optimal results, I recommend the BIOSLIMMING take-home kit to complement the Cellutone treatments. This product is designed to help minimize cellulite, stretch marks, and it will also tighten your skin. The more at-home treatments you do, the better and longer your Cellutone results will last. Call us today and schedule a free consultation. You can pick up a bioslimming take-home kit anytime at our Skin Solution store and Cellutone will be on special during our Spring Open House, April 19-22. April resolution: Balance It’s hard to believe we are into the month of April already. It feels like yesterday that I made my New Year’s resolutions and committed to improving my diet and fitness regimen, as well as spending more time with friends, reading more books, and taking up a new hobby. I wish I could say I did all those things, but I would be lying. The good news is I was fortunate enough to have my brother invite me to Wyoming back in January, and I can only describe it as a ‘reboot’ for my life. We snowmobiled through Yellowstone Park, getting up close and personal with buffalo, elk, and moose; we even saw bald eagles soaring along the Yellowstone River. It was ten degrees below zero, yet I wasn’t cold at all (having the right gear helps!). It’s been a long time since I felt such peace and tranquility in my heart, body, and soul. To witness Mother Nature’s work on such a large scale is very powerful. I returned with a renewed sense of peace and gratitude for life and the gifts God has bestowed on me. I believe it’s important to strive to do better, to improve oneself, but sometimes it is easy (for me) to get caught up in never being satisfied with how I look, what I have, or what I have done with my life. This trip has helped me to slow down, remember the joy I felt when seeing this beauty with my own two eyes, and to practice gratitude, and the memories continue to fill my heart with joy and that wonderful sense of peace that often is hard to hold onto. And, YES, I still want to look my best, but I also want to feel peace in my heart for all the blessings God has given me, including the gift of laughing at my laugh lines, and being grateful for a healthy body that allows me to have the wonderful job I have at Hull Aesthetics. So, for my April resolution, I will practice balance, gratitude and acceptance. Balance in striving to improve what I can, and acceptance and gratitude for all that I have. THANK YOU FOR HELPING US!
