Top Skincare Myths Debunked in Abilene, Texas, at The MedSpa at Hendrick

Proper skin care doesn’t have to be a mystery. And yet for many, it’s completely baffling, thanks in large part to the endless barrage of misleading product claims we’re exposed to on a daily basis. Luckily, The MedSpa at Hendrick is here to set the record straight. So you can start 2017 off with bang and your best skin ever, here are three popular skin care myths exposed.

Tanning Booths Are A Safe Way To Tan

It’s tempting in the winter months to seek a “summer glow” from a tanning bed. After all, you’ve heard that tanning beds provide a healthy way to get color because they don’t emit UVB rays, the so-called “sunburn” rays. But what you won’t hear is that a tanning bed still exposes you to UVA rays, which penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB, causing damage, premature aging and skin cancers.

The Higher the SPF, the Longer You Can Stay In The Sun

SPF tells you how well it protects you from the sun’s damaging UVB rays, not the length of time it protects you. An SPF of 15, for example, screens out about 93 percent of UVB light, while an SPF of 30 filters out 97 percent. Even in the winter months, when the sun is less intense, wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen which protects from both UVA and UVB rays is essential. When it doubt, keep it simple: Unless you live in a cave, an SPF of 30, applied daily, is your best bet for preventing sun damage.

 Your Makeup Provides Enough Protection

It’s terrific that many cosmetics have SPF built right in. We proudly carry Jane Iredale mineral cosmetics, which are expertly formulated with SPF to provide amazing coverage and beautiful results. But unfortunately, applying your makeup in the morning isn’t enough to protect you from the sun’s harmful rays if you’re planning on spending extended time outdoors. According to experts, you would need to apply 14 to 15 times the amount of makeup that a normal person would wear to reach the SPF stated on the cosmetic label. Bottom line: Applying a separate, broad-spectrum sunscreen in addition to your makeup is a must in your skin care routine.

Have you heard? 2017 is the year of the power pout!

We actually just made that up. (It’s catchy, isn’t it?) Seriously, though—full, luscious lips are making headlines for the new year.

To perk up your pucker, we offer the plumping power of Juvéderm® at The MedSpa at Hendrick.

We love FDA-approved Juvéderm because this trusted dermal filler is packed with hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring lubricant in the body that can add volume to your face, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth and between your brows. Applied to your lips, Juvéderm can add natural-looking volume and diminish unsightly lip lines, creating a more youthful appearance. A quick 30-minute treatment with Juvéderm in our office can provide immediate gratification and long-lasting results, up to a year of added volume for many.

CoolSculpting in Abilene, Texas, at The MedSpa at Hendrick

It’s a time to be thankful, but for too many of us, it can be a time to stress over maintaining our weight, let alone achieving any weight loss goals we’ve set for ourselves. Considering all the dietary temptations this season brings our way, it’s no wonder we’re stressed! But take heart, because achieving your ideal figure has never been easier.

You know those “trouble” spots on your body that resist every attempt you make to diet and exercise? Well, those problem zones are no match for CoolSculpting®, a revolutionary non-invasive fat-reduction treatment at The MedSpa at Hendrick.

An FDA-cleared treatment that has slimmed away stubborn fat pockets for more than 3 million people worldwide, CoolSculpting is amazing because it can produce impressive results without any surgery or injections. This comfortable, non-invasive treatment works simply by freezing the fat cells under your skin in a process called cryolipolysis. Once the fat cells are frozen with cooling panels, they shrink and are naturally flushed from the body.

While you may notice some improvement immediately following treatment, the full effect of CoolSculpting will appear gradually, up to three months afterwards. Best of all, CoolSculpting requires no downtime, so you’ll be able to resume your normal routine as soon as your session is done.

You can trust the experts at The MedSpa at Hendrick. As the only hospital-based medical spa in the Big Country region, our staff is dedicated to delivering superior cosmetic, medical-level services and products in a relaxed, comforting environment.

Stress less and place your “problem” spots in the capable hands of our CoolSculpting experts! Call 325.480.0522 to schedule your consultation today.

It’s a story we all know too well: you eat right and exercise, and yet no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to tame that certain trouble spot on your body. Celebrities are no different, despite their personal trainers and fancy diets. They experience the same pesky bumps and bulges we do, which is why, according to Allure Magazine, they are bee-lining to med spas and doctors’ offices across the country to undergo CoolSculpting®, a body-slimming treatment that actually works!

Luckily, CoolSculpting isn’t just for celebs. At The MedSpa at Hendrick, we proudly offer CoolSculpting to our esteemed clients because it provides noticeable, long-lasting results.

CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that can reduce stubborn fat cells in your body by freezing them, a process scientists refer to as cryolipolysis. During a treatment, a cooling applicator is gently placed on the targeted body area, freezing and killing the fat cells. Best of all, once the fat cells are frozen and naturally eliminated from the body, they can never come back, making CoolSculpting an amazing new tool in your beauty arsenal.

To achieve your best look, multiple treatments are often necessary. So if you’re hoping to fit into that special outfit this holiday season, now is the time to schedule a consultation and start a treatment plan!
