Is CoolSculpting Right for You? Take the CoolSculpting Quiz Abilene, TX

by

CoolSculpting has received countless awards and earned acclaim.Who doesn’t like the idea of reducing unsightly fat bulges without surgery and little to no downtime? Sounds like a fantasy, but it’s actually an FDA-cleared fat reduction treatment called CoolSculpting®. Since entering the marketplace, CoolSculpting has received countless awards and earned acclaim as the world’s #1 non-invasive fat reduction treatment, helping millions of people improve their body contours without missing a beat of their busy lives.

If you’re curious about this treatment and wondering if CoolSculpting is right for you, your first step is scheduling a consultation. In the meantime, here are a few key questions to consider:

Are you close to your ideal body weight?
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment, but a body contouring treatment that targets specific areas. CoolSculpting is ideal for people within 30 pounds of their ideal weight who are struggling to lose stubborn areas of excess fat, such as love handles or a double chin.

Which areas of the body are you hoping to slim down?
CoolSculpting is effective for slimming almost any area of the body, including the chin, upper arms, bra line, abdomen, waist, thighs, buttocks, and more.

When would you like to see results?
CoolSculpting offers gradual, subtle improvements to specific areas of excess fat. Once CoolSculpting freezes fat cells, your body slowly purges the disabled fat cells from your body in the weeks and months following your treatment. This means you will notice gradual improvements to your contours.

The MedSpa at Hendrick was recently named to the CoolSculpting Club 1,000, having performed over 1,000 successful treatments. To learn more about this acclaimed fat reduction treatment, call 325.480.0522

Top Cosmetic Combos Abilene, TX

by

Who doesn't love a good combo?Who doesn’t love a good combo? From popcorn at the movies to pajamas and pizza parties, certain things in life go great together. Did you know that many medspa treatments make stellar combinations? Pairing up your cosmetic treatments can boost benefits and help you achieve optimal results. Here’s a look at four tried-and-true combos worth exploring:

Botox and Dermal Fillers
Many patients visit with one type of injectable in mind, not realizing that they may benefit from a combination treatment with Botox® and dermal fillers. The reason they work so well together is two-fold: For one, Botox and dermal fillers work on different areas. Botox, an “All-Star Wrinkle Eraser,” according to NewBeauty, works on the upper area of the face (forehead, crow’s feet) while dermal fillers help rejuvenate the lower areas (mouth, lips, cheeks). Second, Botox and dermal fillers work differently with distinct ingredients, so the treatments won’t clash or cancel each other out. Botox relaxes the muscle activity underlying wrinkles to create smoother, wrinkle-free skin, while dermal fillers restore volume and plump up skin with a smooth gel made with a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid. Combined, these two injectable treatments can rejuvenate the entire face for months of younger-looking skin with minimal downtime.

Halo and BBL Photofacials
Halo™ fractional laser skin resurfacing recently won a NewBeauty award as one of the “Best In-Office Treatments That Get Results.” This “powerhouse skin resurfacer” helps to reveal smoother, tighter skin with diminished lines and enhanced radiance by simultaneously treating both the surface of skin and deep below for dramatic skin renewal with moderate downtime. Photofacials are non-invasive light treatments that help to revitalize skin without damaging the skin’s surface to improve a variety of pigmentation irregularities, including age spots, freckles, sun spots, and redness. Combined, these two laser treatments can reveal dramatic improvements to the overall tone and texture of skin for a brighter, younger-looking, intensely revitalized complexion without the lengthy downtime you’d expect.

Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peels
These two tried-and-true forms of exfoliation remove the outermost layers of dead, dull skin cells to reveal refreshed, thoroughly revitalized skin with diminished imperfections. Chemical peels use fruit acids and other natural acids to exfoliate skin, while microdermabrasion gently sands the skin with a hand-held instrument. Combined, these two treatments more deeply penetrate the skin, intensifying your treatment for optimal benefits.

Summertime Skin Care Blunders Abilene, TX

by

To discover more ways to achieve radiant skin, call 325.480.0522.Despite all we know about the hazards of summer sun, our skin care habits may still fall short, resulting in sunburns and other unfortunate consequences. Here’s a look at some of our most common summertime skin care mishaps, along with proven and trusted remedies.

Mistake: Getting stuck without sunscreen. On rainy days, it’s easy to skip the SPF altogether because it’s not sunny and we plan to be inside anyway. We don’t expect the clouds to break for an afternoon of bright sunshine, where we find ourselves outside and unprotected. The consequence? A surprise sunburn.
Remedy: Prevention is always the best medicine. Throw sunscreen in your purse so it’s with you wherever you go. In the event prevention fails and you get a sunburn, apply an ice pack to help cool skin. You can also soothe your damaged dermis and speed healing by applying aloe, a natural healing agent, and moisturizers and cleansers containing oats, a powerful anti-inflammatory. Once your sunburn is entirely healed, treat your skin to a photofacial, which is clinically-proven to reduce sun damage and many signs of aging by improving age and sun spots, freckles, small veins, redness, pore size, and more.

Mistake: Forgetting to reapply sunscreen. By now, you know to never leave home without donning SPF, but there’s a good chance you are still leaving your skin inadequately protected by forgetting to reapply throughout the day, which almost always results in a sunburn.
Remedy: Prevention! Set a reminder on your phone until reapplying SPF becomes a habit. The key is to reapply every two hours you are out in the sun (sooner if swimming or sweaty). If you do forget to reapply, soothe sunburned skin with the aforementioned recommendations.

Mistake: Letting sweat dry on your skin. Don’t run errands in your sweaty workout gear. Whether it’s from exercise or the humidity, sweat traps bacteria on your skin, resulting in clogged pores and pimples.
Remedy: To keep your skin clear and calm, immediately shower off sweat and change into clean, dry clothes. For extra comfort and care, you can also deep-clean and revitalize your pores with a professional body scrub or facial at The MedSpa at Hendrick.

Mistake: Going to bed too late. Lack of sleep is a clinically-proven beauty killer, resulting in dull skin, under eye bags, and premature lines and wrinkles.
Remedy: Sleep! Your skin can also benefit from a skin revitalizing treatment that stimulates new collagen and elastin production and encourages blood circulation for a rosy glow. Halo™ laser skin renewal is one of our favorite options for revealing radiant skin with about a week of downtime. Other options for improving the look and feel of your skin with little to no downtime include BBL™ photofacials, microdermabrasion, microneedling, and chemical peels.

Mistake: Forgetting to hydrate. Dehydration is about so much more than just getting thirsty. Drinking too little can result in dry skin, fatigue, headaches, constipation, and lightheadedness.
Remedy: Sip water throughout day, especially when sweating. Carry your favorite beverage with you so you’re never stuck with thirst, which is sign you have been dehydrated for a while.

Say Goodbye to Stubborn Fat!

July blog photoCoolsculpting in Abilene, Texas, at The MedSpa at Hendrick

Getting older comes with many changes. We typically have more responsibility at work and more chores to take care of at home, leading to a busier schedule and less time for proper diet and exercise. Our metabolism also tends to drop, making it even more difficult to keep our bodies looking trim. However, as a certified CoolSculpting® provider, The MedSpa at Hendrick can help you eliminate fat and achieve a slimmer figure!

Fat in troublesome areas like the abdomen, thighs, muffin top and double chin can be especially concerning. These stubborn fat cells are difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise alone, and often need an extra push in the right direction. This is where FDA-cleared CoolSculpting comes in. It is the perfect complement to any healthy lifestyle, and can safely and effectively reduce fat cells for noticeable results.

CoolSculpting works through a process called cryolipolysis where fat cells are frozen beneath the skin so that they shrink and eventually dissipate. The treatment is non-invasive and does no damage to the surrounding skin or tissue. CoolSculpting requires no downtime and results appear natural, gradually becoming noticeable over the course of a few months.

The time is now to reduce fat and achieve a beautiful figure! Call 325.480.0522 today to schedule your consultation!

We are humbled and thrilled by this honor, and want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude. Fact is, we couldn’t do what we do without you!

 

To thank you for your trust and patronage, we’d like to reflect on three of our favorite summertime activities in the hopes that we can return the favor and boost your joy this season.

 

Take short walks outside.

Forget about the exercise (though the health benefits of walking are ginormous!). Want to better your life? Research suggests that taking short breaks from work can improve your stamina, productivity, and mood.

 

Smell the roses.

Even better than smelling them is placing flowers or plants in your home or office! Research indicates that when flowers or plants are displayed in a room, they can boost your mood and cognitive performance.

 

Rock it!

When was the last time you gave a rocking chair a good ride? We’ve known for ages that babies are lulled to sleep by gentle, rocking motion. A study on dementia patients suggests that rocking may also benefit adults by releasing endorphins and reducing anxiety.

 

The Medspa at Hendrick strives to provide personalized care based on the highest level of skill. We know that expertise is nothing without heart and compassion, which is why we feel truly blessed to serve you! Every time we see you smile from a treatment well done, we know we are on the right track.

 

Thank you, Abilene! Call us today at 325.480.0522 or click here to schedule your consultation.
