TAKE A SPA JOURNEY AT HOME DETOX


ENJOY A LITTLE “ME” TIME AT HOME


If you could create a personal ritual that would support your skin and body’s ability to perform optimally while supporting your immune system, would it be worth it you?
Day spas and wellness centers have long offered detox programs to remove environmental and dietary toxins from the body in order to promote health. Now you can bring the pampering
and therapeutic benefits of the spa home with SeaSource Detox Spa™.
SeaSource Detox spa essential products are
made from Swiss quality ingredients and nutrient-rich marine botanicals. These products are specially formulated to pull out impurities, such as minerals and metals, cleanse the colon and kidneys, and remove the harmful environmental
toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis. Skin Expert Janet McAuslan explains that over time these impurities can build up and weaken the body leading to fatigue, illness, weight
gain, and premature aging.


“My customers see an overall improvement in their skin tone
and complexion. They have increased energy and a more
balanced mood,” she explains. There are three steps in the
program: Stimulate; Strengthen; and Support.


Each treatment is relaxing and restorative giving you an
opportunity to set aside some “ME” time in a hectic day. For
optimal results Janet suggest the SeaSource Detox Spa Set,
$400.00. The set includes 9 products, plus the Dry Body Brush
and brochure, everything you need to create a rejuvenating
spa experience at home. This package is affordable
compared to the in spa detox programs which can run $245
for one treatment.


SeaSource products are a great way to maintain your spa
services at home and make your in spa facial or body
treatments last longer. “Beauty is overall wellness. You
can’t be healthy in your appearance if you’re not healthy
on the inside.” Check out the Beauty Bargain Coupons
featuring discounts on the SeaSource Detox Set.

CHIN UP:ANTI-AGING SOLUTIONS FOR THE NECK DOWN


As we age, weakened muscles and collagen depletion on the neck andchin give people a “waddle.” “There is no such thing as anti-aging.However, laser skin tightening and rejuvenation treatments can restoreyour face and neck to a more refreshed and youthful look,” explains Dr.Kathleen Meyers, medical director at Soleil Medical and Beauty Spa.


LOOSY GOOSEY
Titan is a non-surgical process to treat laxity around the neck and jowls. Titan uses infrared light (IPL) to tone, lift, and tighten skin on the face, neck, jowls and the body. Some results are seen instantly without any of the typical facelift pain or bruising. It works by heating the deep layer of the skin causing collagen to contract and tighten. The long-term benefits include new collagen growth. There is no downtime. The procedure can be performed on your lunch hour, and improvement can be seen after 2 or 3 treatments.




CHEST AND DÉCOLLETÉ
Laser Genesis photorejuvenation heats up the pigmentation under the dermis. Signs of sun damage and age spots diminish after 1 to 2 treatments, leaving clearer, younger looking skin.
For best results, 1 to 3 treatments scheduled 2-4 weeks apart are recommended.

FACIAL REJUVENATING ACUPUNCTURE

A NATURAL, NON SURGICAL TREATMENT
FOR ANTI-AGING AND OVERALL WELLNESS

Whether it is called facial rejuvenation, acupuncture face-lift
or cosmetic acupuncture, this treatment is an natural and effective way to remove fine lines and wrinkles from the face, creating a more youthful and vibrant appearance. “The benefit of doing facial rejuvenating acupuncture is not only that it makes you look younger but it actually improves your entire body, mind, and spirit,” explains Bridgette Kinder, L.Ac., licensed acupuncturist and owner of Ageless Acupuncture located
at Pike Place Market.
The skin is our body’s barometer and symptoms
of poor nutrition, digestive problems, and other health issues. When the body is off balance, the skin picks up the slack causing break outs, dull appearance, and inflammation (which is a precursor to wrinkles). There are several anti-aging procedures to correct skin damage, but few treat the body from the inside out like facial acupuncture.

WHAT IS FACIAL REJUVENATION?
There are many styles of acupuncture that have been designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, lift sagging skin, enhance skin tone, and reduce eye puffiness, among other things. “Generally speaking, facial rejuvenating acupuncture is the practice of accomplishing the above through facial and scalp acupuncture,” explains Kinder. The style she practices also includes herbal applications, tui na, dietary recommendations according to Chinese medical theory, facial exercises, and overall full body wellness enhancement. This stimulates collagen production, which will fill out the lines, tone and tighten the skin. It also targets facial muscles which will give firmness tothe skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.


The treatment at Ageless Acupuncture combines full body acupuncture needling with a pampering and hydrating face treatment. This personalized treatment uses a custom mixture of natural ingredients and aromatherapy to cleanse, tone, soothe, and cool the skin.
A series of treatments are recommended for optimal benefits, however many patients see a glow when they look in the mirror directly after the treatment. Usually more significant results are
noticeable by the fifth or seventh treatment. Facial rejuvenating acupuncture can take anywhere from 12 to 20 treatments depending on treatment areas, and the condition of the skin and musculature beneath it. “I prefer to see patients twice the first two weeks, then once a week after that.” After their course of treatment is finished, a monthly “tune-up” is
recommended. “People’s eyes tend to sparkle like there’s a renewed sense of spirit, peace, and openness within them,” Kinder describes, “their skin also tends to look more vibrant and
healthy.” The benefits of cosmetic acupuncture go beyond mere aesthetics.
Your overall health is improved and it shows up in the face.
