Last-Minute Party Prepping Treatments Abilene, TX

by

What’s that? You’re not ready for the party season yet? Can you believe it’s almost time to slip into your holiday dress?

What’s that? You’re not ready for the party season yet?

No worries! It’s never too late to get your glow on. Because a head-turning complexion is your best accessory, here are a few of our favorite complexion boosters for achieving last-minute luminosity with little to no downtime.

Dermaplaning
This quick exfoliation treatment uses a sterile blade to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz) on your face. In 30 minutes, you’ll have refreshed skin that’s a perfect canvas for your party make-up.

BBL™ Photofacials
For more evenly toned, youthful-looking skin with little to no downtime, a BBL photofacial is one of our favorite pre-party treatments because it delivers both immediate improvements and long-term benefits. In as little as 30 minutes, this light treatment helps to dramatically diminish age spots, sun-induced freckles, redness, symptoms of rosacea, birthmarks, unsightly veins, and acne scarring. Regular photofacials are clinically proven to change your skin cells on a molecular level to behave like younger skin cells. We recommend undergoing a BBL photofacial at least once a season or even just one a year to enjoy luminous, younger-looking skin for a lifetime. We recommend scheduling your BBL treatment at least a week before your event to give your skin time to fully renew itself.

Facials
Self care is a vital component of every successful holiday season. We offer a complete range of indulgent, intensely restorative facials to help you feel amazing and refreshed during this hectic time. From a 30-minute Express Facial (the perfect complexion pick-me-up) to our Moisture Drench Facial (to quench and rebalance parched skin), we offer a facial for everyone.

Get Glowing for the Holidays! Abilene, TX

by

There’s no better reason to hit the reset button on your complexion than an upcoming holiday. There’s no better reason to hit the reset button on your complexion than an upcoming holiday. With Christmas around the corner, now is the time to start scheduling your skin rejuvenation treatments for refreshing your skin and revealing a brighter, younger-looking radiance. Here’s a look at just a few of our leading skin rejuvenation treatments, and tips for your best results.

BBL™ Photofacial
With no downtime, a photofacial is a fabulous option for diminishing age spots, sun spots, redness or other pigmentation irregularities to reveal brighter, more evenly-toned skin.
Tip: Allow at least a week for your skin to fully renew itself. While photofacials are non-invasive and have little to no downtime, your skin may need a few days of recovery, depending on your skin concerns. If brown spots or freckles are your target, a BBL photofacial will treat your pigmentation spots with intense energy, turning them temporarily darker until they take on a coffee grind-like texture and fall off (in about a week). Certain skin tones may also experience a bit of redness, which can take a few hours to a day or two to fully subside.

Halo™ Laser Skin Renewal
This skin resurfacing treatment is more intense than a photofacial, offering texture improvements in addition to more even, brighter tone. Halo creates thousands of micro channels in your skin, spurring your skin’s natural healing response to reveal intensely revitalized, luminous new skin.
Tip: Schedule your Halo at least two full weeks before any event. Halo requires about 3 days to a week of social downtime, so be sure to allow your skin plenty of time to recover and start revealing all the benefits of treatment. As your skin continues to produce new collagen in the weeks and months following treatment, you’ll enjoy a younger-looking radiance all season long.

Chemical Peel
This exfoliation process exfoliates the outermost layer of skin cells to reveal a brighter, more even skin tone with improved clarity and smoothness. Chemical peels work well with almost any skin tone or concern. We can help you decide which skin rejuvenation treatment is right for your unique needs and goals.

Other treatments to consider at The Medspa at Hendrick include body scrubs, facials, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion and professional skin care products for enhancing and prolonging the results of your treatments. To learn more, call 325.480.0522 or schedule a personal consultation today.

The Secret to a Healthy Thanksgiving Abilene, TX

by

Here are 3 ideas for achieving your most delightful (and healthful) Thanksgiving yet. Despite what you may be thinking, this is not a food blog! Rather, it’s a health and beauty blog dedicated to bringing out your best in mind and body, especially during the holidays. Here are 3 ideas for achieving your most delightful (and healthful) Thanksgiving yet.

Adopt an attitude of gratitude.
Once a year, we sit down to a meal that symbolizes our thankfulness, but we’d be wise to feel thankful all year long. Grateful people are happier and healthier. In one study, people who wrote about all the things for which they were grateful were compared to people who wrote about the sources of their aggravation. The people who wrote about their gratitude reported feeling more optimistic and positive about their lives. They also reported exercising more often and having fewer visits to the doctor. While it’s impossible to determine cause and effect, there appears to be an undeniable link between gratitude and wellness.

Go ahead and nap!
There’s a reason we call it a power nap. Napping is a healthy habit, if you do it right. Short naps (10 to 20 minutes) are clinically shown to improve energy, lower stress and help you focus. So don’t feel guilty about nodding off in front of the game with a full belly of turkey. It’s the healthy thing to do!

Enjoy the conversation.
Thanksgiving is about so much more than a meal. You’re not just catching up around the dinner table. According to psychologists, you’re also fostering confidence and a sense of resilience in yourself and your family members. Family gatherings are about knowing that you are loved and that people care about what’s going on in your life, which establishes a strong foundation of security that carries over into everyday life.

The Medspa at Hendrick wishes you a happy and joyful holiday season! To learn about our aesthetic and wellness services for looking and feeling your best, call 325.480.0522 or schedule a personal consultation today.

It’s Halo Season! Abilene, TX

by

So, what exactly is the Halo glow?Now that fall is well underway and the holidays are right around the corner, it’s time to schedule your Halo™ laser skin renewal treatment so you’ll be glowing and gorgeous in time for the festivities.

So, what exactly is the Halo glow?

Here’s a bit of the science behind Halo’s radiant benefits:

The Power of Healing
Halo is an advanced hybrid laser that uses light to trigger your skin’s natural healing response. Halo does this by creating millions of microscopic treatment channels in your skin, temporarily “damaging” your skin. Though this sounds scary, your “damaged” skin cells are the key to healthy new cell growth. As your skin heals, it creates healthy new collagen and elastin growth, revealing fresh new skin with a variety of improvements, including smaller pore size, smoother texture, reduced pigmentation irregularities, brightness, and much more.

A Fabulous Fraction
Halo is a fractional laser, which means it treats a fraction of your skin rather than the entire surface area. While this may sound like it’s a less effective treatment because it’s only treating a fraction of skin, actually, quite the opposite is true. Halo is one of the most effective laser skin treatments on the market! Leaving some untreated skin behind is actually a big benefit because it functions to accelerate the healing process of damaged skin cells and speed healing time. You’ll still get all the benefits, but without the downtime of inferior resurfacing treatments.

Keep in mind that Halo involves two days to up to a week of downtime, so it is crucial to schedule your Halo well in advance of any events. We’ll help you devise your optimal Halo treatment plan during your personal consultation. Call 325.480.0522 or request your personal consultation today!
