Healthy Skin Starts From Within:

Cooler temperatures have to be right around the corner…right?! As we transition into Fall, we want to help you take full advantage of some of the cooler-season produce. And, what better place to start than our September Superfood of the Month… bok choy! Have you wondered, what is bok choy?

Food Selection: Bok Choy

Health Benefits of Bok Choy

  • contains vitamin C.
  • decreases risk of damage to your skin caused by the sun.
  • natural collagen producer.
  • may help to fight signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Recipe: Garlic Bok Choy

Crisp, fresh, and bursting with loads of unexpected flavor, this Garlic Bok Choy Recipe is guaranteed to be your new favorite side dish. Ready in just 10 minutes, enjoy this easy vegetarian side dish with chicken, beef, or fish.

  1. We want to keep our baby bok choy somewhat intact, so the first thing we want to do is either halve or quarter each stalk.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the oil. Swirl to coat the entire surface of the pan. As soon as the oil is hot, add the garlic and the shallots, and sautè for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously.
  3. Add the bok choy, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss and cover. Cook for approximately 2 minutes before uncovering, tossing, and covering. Continue to cook the bok choy until white parts reach desired doneness.
  4. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, if using, and drizzle with additional sesame oil, if desired.

Is laser hair removal permanent?
We get asked this question often and we find that there is a lot of misleading information floating around regarding laser hair removal. When laser hair removal is done with the proper equipment – a true laser, the results should be permanent. There are always exceptions to the rule, such as facial hair that is hormone stimulated. But when we are talking about legs, backs, bikini/brazilian or underarms, achieving the goal to be shave free is achievable.
 
Laser hair removal treatments that use a light based system such as an IPL (intense pulsed light) provide results that vary and many more treatments are required to achieve significant hair reduction.
 
The major difference in the treatments are how the target (melanin within the hair shaft that is actively growing in a hair follicle) is selected.
 
With lasers, utilizing specific wavelengths and parameters, we are able to selectively heat up and terminate the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding tissue. 
Utilizing an IPL does not allow as specific targeting and is limited to only be safely used in lighter skin types.
 
Our Motus AX laser hair removal system not only allows us to treat all skin types, but it is providing a very effective and efficient end result. We are seeing a majority of our patients only requiring 6 treatments to achieve their shave free goal. The best thing about the Motus AX laser is that it is PAIN FREE!
Keeping our skin fresh, clean, and clear of signs of aging is important to all of us. There are certain unavoidable things that all our skin goes through eventually, like the slow down of skin cell turn over. As babies our skin cells turn over every 14 days, by the time we are teenagers it’s 28 days. Once we are adults it can be up to every 42 days, and once over 50 it is as long as 84 days. 
 
Luckily, there are products that can aid in keeping skin cells turn over speedy, even as we age. That product is Retinol! Retinol helps get the cell turnover rate back to just 14 days. This improves growth factors in our skin while also increasing collagen and elastin production. It’s never too late to start a fantastic anti-aging product like retinol!

The treatments consist of 3 Microneedling RF and 3 ResufFX laser treatments. These are done once a month rotating between the two treatments.  This combination complements each other . Microneedling RF delivers energy into the deeper lasers of the skin breaking up tissue and creating collagen synthesis and new cellular formation.  ResurFX laser is a fractional laser providing energy deep in the dermis and resurfaces the outer layer of skin improving pour size, removing dark spots and improving overall complexion.  Both are for all skin types  and ages with minimal downtime. This in combination with a specific skin care routine consisting of Rentinol, peptides and advanced vitamin C yield fantastic results!

We all know neuromodulators like Botox can be injected into places like the forehead and around the eyes but did you know they can also be injected into muscles of the lower face?

One of those muscles are the masseters. While the masseter muscles are necessary for many functions, they can become over-active and hypertrophied (enlarged). When this happens, the face can start to have a more square shape as opposed to heart shaped. Botox injections into the masseters can help to give a slimming effect to those with hypertrophied muscles. And believe it or not, it’s a quick, nearly pain-free procedure! It’s important to know that not everyone is a candidate for this type of injection and it’s best to have a consultation to decide if it the right procedure for you!
