Say Good Bye to Crows Feet with Latisse from Bella Medspa

Have you ever wished for eyelashes like butterfly wings? No. Well then how about thicker, fuller lashes? Me too. And, I did something about it. I tried Bella Medspa Latisse. You wouldn’t believe the results. Hardly a day passes that I don’t receive a compliment on my “beautiful eyes”. If they only knew! My eyes are the same as they’ve always been. But now, my lush lashes give them renewed prominence.

Now, if I’ve peaked your curiosity then I should also let you know of a possible side effect to Latisse use. Latisse can cause temporary darkening of skin. So, if you’re not meticulous with your application, as I am not, you may begin to notice a brownish line forming just above your lash line. It looks like eyeliner. This is due to an increase in melanin production at that area, prompted by the Latisse. This only happens to a small number of users and is entirely avoidable. Unfortunately, I had to learn my Latisse application lesson the hard way.

The good news is, the discoloration is temporary. It’s already begun to fade. Of course, I had to first clean up my application process. So, for your sake, let’s go over the very simple process of properly applying your Bella Medspa Latisse. First, cleanse your eyes with a water-soluble cleanser that does not leave residue and be sure your eyelids are completely dry. Avoid the use of serums, gels, and moisturizers until after your Latisse application has thoroughly dried. Otherwise you run the risk of spreading the Latisse and it’s discoloring affects.

Finally, and most important, only use the enclosed application brushes. They are specifically manufactured for precise application. Apply directly, and only, to the base of the upper lashes. Some will naturally transfer to your lower lashes. This is totally normal. However, any transfer beyond the lower lash line needs to absorbed with a tissue.

Follow these simple instructions and you’ll only ever be fully delighted with your Latisse use.

Get ready for summer with Botox Injections from Bella Medspa

Bella Medspa Botox is the talk of the town for very good reason – the results, the ease, the affordability, the administering staff, etc., etc., etc. Simply put, Bella Medspa Botox seems nearly too good to be true. Refined smoker’s lines! Softened crows feet! Alluring smiles and lifted frowns! All this in a matter of minutes and no downtime required. This really does sound too good to be true.

Fortunately, Bella Medspa Botox is as fabulous as it sounds. Still, for you to appreciate it you should know a little about it. Take a moment to read this newsletter in its entirety. By the close of the final paragraph, you’ll know a good deal about this impressive product. If you weren’t a believer in the transformative powers of Botox before, you will be in a few minutes.

First things first, Botox is short for ‘botulinum toxin’. It works to paralyze wrinkle-forming muscles, meaning it works exclusively on dynamic wrinkles. These muscles are the ones used to form our most common facial expressions.

Botox is safe, effective, and only minimally painful. In fact, repeat patients find the needle pricks to be nearly imperceptible. Nonetheless, if even the mention of needle pricks causes you anxiety ice your forehead 10 minutes before the procedure. Ice will also help to ward off swelling and bruising.

If the thought of bruising concerns you, be sure to avoid aspirin, Motrin, Advil, and any other ibuprofen-containing products for one week prior to your Bella Medspa Botox injection. In fact, as an added precaution consider taking arnica on the day before and the day of injection.

Minor bruising is the most common side effect of Botox injections. However, you can also experience what is called eyelid ptosis. When Botox is injected too low it can cause one eyelid to droop. This happens as a result of poor injection technique and can take up to three weeks to resolve itself. Good injection technique really is the key to accomplishing the best possible final product. Rest assured, there are no long-term side effects.

Your results will appear within the first few days following injection. Over the course of the next two weeks, the full affect will become perfectly visible.

Bella Medspa Sclerotherapy on the Rise!

In 2008, The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that 375,328 sclerotherapy procedures were performed in the US alone. Each year this number goes up. Do you know what that means?  It means, you’re in good company. Countless men and women battle the frustration of unsightly and uncomfortable veins. Fortunately, the solution is well proven and readily accessible.

Bella Medspa Sclerotherapy has a long past, well grounded in medical history. A rudimentary form of the practice was used in the 1600’s, when acid was injected into veins to induce blood clot formation. By 1853 varicose veins were being successfully treated with iron salt injections. In 1854, 16 cases of varicose veins were reportedly cured by injecting iodine and tannin directly into the veins. Throughout the years, carbolic acid, mercury salt, sodium carbonate, sodium salicylate, sodium salicylate and quinine have been tried.

The 1900’s brought marked advancements to sclerotherapy with the development of sodium tetradecyl sulfate, which continues to be used today. By the mid 1960’s, sclerotherapy had become well accepted among the medical communities of mainland Europe, but continued to be pooh-poohed in England and the United States until more recently. Today, the reports show that men and women across our nation are entrusting their veined faces, legs, hands, feet, chests, and arms to the well established science of sclerotherapy. And, for good reason.

Besides being a well practice, with an extensive history, Bella Medsoa Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure requiring less than one hour to perform and very minimal downtime.  In fact, post procedure walking is encouraged in order to encourage circulation and healing. After cleaning the area(s), larger veins will be injected prior to smaller ones using an extremely finely tipped needle. One injection is typically administered for every inch of problematic vein. A slight stinging or burning sensation commonly accompanies the release of liquid into the vein but then quickly dissipates. At close, the necessary bandages and compression garments are applied depending on the area(s) treated. Normal activities may be resumed immediately, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few days. Secondary treatments, if needed, can be scheduled four to six weeks following the primary treatment, after the original results are fully realized.

Clean & Healthy Skin with Microdermabrasion from Bella Medspa

Your favorite skincare source, Bella Medspa is continuing an age-old beauty tradition- microdermabrasion. This coveted beauty secret of the rich and famous actually dates back to the Ancient Egyptians; specifically to the unequivocally beautiful Cleopatra. Today, mainstream men and women can also relish the profound benefits of this tried and true practice.

This exfoliating process provides several benefits. During the subsequent healing process, new skin cells are brought to the surface creating a smoother look and feel. In addition, some of the skin’s visible imperfections, like sun damage, blemishes and fine lines, are removed. Also, without the outermost layer of skin acting as a barrier, medicinal creams and lotions are far more effective because their active ingredients and moisturizing components can more readily find their way down to the lower layers of skin.

At Bella Medpsa microdermabrasion is performed using a diamond tipped wand to buff away the surface layer of skin, also known as the epidermis. The epidermis is a set of dead skin cells on top of another layer of cells that are in the process of maturing. During microdermabrasion, the surface layer of skin is exfoliated away revealing younger, healthier skin cells below. Results are instantaneous and continue to improve over the course of time.

Benefits Include:
* Fresher skin with enhanced elasticity and refined texture
* New collagen and elastin production
* Fine line and wrinkle reduction
* Superficial acne scar reduction
* Brown spot reduction
* Blotchy skin minimization
* Whitehead and blackhead elimination

During your Bella Medspa microdermabrasion treatment, the diamond tipped wand will be used to gently exfoliate superficial skin layers. A vacuuming component acts simultaneously to suck away dead skin and debris from the skin’s surface. Rest assured, the DiamondTome is non-invasive, pain-free and requires no down time after treatment.

Although results are gradual and multiple treatments are recommended for treatment of sun damage, fine lines, shallow acne scarring and dry patches, you will notice obvious improvement after just one treatment. For long lasting significant results, we typically recommend a series of 5 to 8 30-minute treatments, spread 10 to 30 days apart.

Bella Medspa currently offers microdermabrasion at our four full service locations; Lancaster PA, Center City Philadelphia, Newtown – Bucks County and Chester Springs and at most of our seven Spa Affiliate Locations. Please call for details.

Sclerotherapy from Bella Medspa

Fortunately, Bella Medspa’s newest service, Sclerotherapy, can eliminate these unsightly and uncomfortable culprits.

Even your worst vultra fine tip of the injection needle ensures a nearly pain free experience.

Following your injection, you may be encouraged to wear compression hose for several days, preventing the vein walls from falling slack. In time, your body will naturally break down the injected vein and absorb it, causing it to totally disappear. Spider veins typically respond within 3 to 6 weeks, and larger veins respond within 3 to 4 months. If the veins respond to treatment, they will not reappear.

This is the perfect time of year to consider Bella Medspa Sclerotherapy. By the time you’re ready to bear your legs for warmer weather, your bothersome veins will be totally dissolved. In place you’ll find smoothened, healthy skin.

Bella Medspa Sclerotherapy can also be used to safely and effectively treat veins in the legs, hands, breasts and face.

New Radiesse Injections!

Philadelphia’s premier Laser Hair Remover, Bella Medspa, is excited to introduce a fabulous new service: Radiesse Volume Filler! This highly effective anti aging treatment is an injectable filler that works harmoniously with your body’s natural collagen production process to eliminate wrinkles and restore depleted volume.

Coveted by countless men and women, this magical “nonsurgical face lift”, works tirelessly to battle unsightly physical effects of sun exposure, environmental hazards, and aging. In these instances, Radiesse is injected into the dermis of the skin creating a natural “scaffold” upon which new collagen is formed by the body. The result from the Radiesse injection is a long-lasting implant comprised of calcium and the body’s natural tissue.

As a natural dermal filler similar to calcium hydroxylapatite (the principal inorganic constituent of bone and teeth), Radiesse produces a surprisingly soft and pliable result. For this reason, it has been commonly used in cheek and chin implants and most recently for correcting deep wrinkles and sagging jowls. Although the original injected components gradually dissolve, the body’s natural response of increased collagen production can benefit the facial appearance from one to three years, depending on the severity of the lines and the areas treated.

This FDA-approved miracle treatment is painless and quick. There is absolutely no downtime. So, call today for your complimentary Bella Medspa Radiesse consultation and begin to learn the countless ways this magical aid can help you to look [and feel] your very best.

Bella Medspa BOTOX Injections

DO YOUR FOREHEAD WRINKLES MAKE YOU LOOK ANGRY OR WORRIED?

A persistent angry or worried look can be caused by knitting the brows or pulling the eyebrows together when we concentrate, frown, or focus. Fortunately, this condition can easily be remedied with Botulinum Toxin A in the form of Botox. The goal is to relax the muscles that work to create our angry or worried expressions. Too much relaxation of too many facial muscles is not a good thing, but relaxing certain overworked facial muscles allows us to look rested and more contented.

As enhancement to your botox results, consider fillers for fixed lines and wrinkles. Juvederm and Restylane may be used to reduce the appearance of static lines acquired as a result of age and harmful environmental factors. These fillers successfully replenish bony structures and add volume to withered lips and deflated smiles.

Some of the Many Benefits of Botox:

• BOTOX weakens the muscles responsible for squinting and crinkling of the eye area, effectively reducing or eliminating crow’s feet and other wrinkles around the eyes.
• Botox removes wrinkles from the area between the eyes dramatically changing a person’s appearance from one of continual anger or sadness to one of contentment and rejuvenation.
• Botox can be used to relax overworked facial muscles that have formed permanent creases in the skin, resulting in smoother skin and fewer wrinkles.
• Patients with oversized masseter muscles, the muscles of the jaw used for chewing, can be treated with BOTOX injections to reduce the size of the masseter muscles, resulting in a gently curved cheek and jaw.
• The benefits of BOTOX injections are not limited to aesthetics. The FDA originally approved BOTOX for several non-cosmetic treatments, including blepharospasm, a condition in which the eyes twitch uncontrollably, migraine headaches, and excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Bella Medspa Microdermabrasion Philadelphia

What can it do for you?

Beauty is not really quite the mystery we might think it is.  There are some distinct hallmarks of young vibrant skin—clear, smooth, even-toned and fresh are words which describe youthful beautiful skin.

Likewise, there are some specific conditions present in aging skin that makes it appear dull.  Age spots fine feathery lines and enlarged pores all contribute to an overall aged appearance.  You might not have thought enough about it to notice these specific conditions in your skin, but if you are feeling like your skin is starting to show your age, chances are this is some of what you are seeing.

In addition, aging skin just doesn’t reflect light the way young skin does and that gradually fading radiance can make us look less vibrant than we actually feel.  This is simply no way for an energetic, mature man or woman with plenty (or more than ever) to offer to feel!

Microdermabrasion treatments enhance our skin’s natural youthfulness by correcting the specific conditions that cause us to look aged.  It is a simple process of passing a wand tipped with finely crushed diamonds (yes, diamonds!) over your skin.  Combined with a gentle suction,  the treatment sloughs off the dead dull surface layers of the skin—something our aging skin simply cannot do efficiently by itself.

This, in and of itself, will reveal more radiant skin hiding just under the surface, however, the abrading action which occurs during the treatment actually prompts our skin into action:  an increase in collagen production occurs triggering an overall rejuvenation.

Microdermabrasion treatments are a great way to get started on a regimen of protecting and correcting your skin for a vibrant, healthy and beautiful appearance.  Take the first step and schedule a consultation.

Laser Hair Removal Customer Testimonial Recording for BEN FM

Listen To Jen’s Bella Medspa Laser Hair Removal Testimonial

The past three years have brought me into contact with thousands of people from all over the Philadelphia area. I have enjoyed them to a one. And their stories and their results never ever get old. We wanted our first radio ad to reflect this. Jen is an actual customer who came into the radio studio on her lunch break, put on headphones and talked about her experience: the embarrassment that lead her to the procedure, her search for a solution, and the results themselves. My sincere thanks go out to her for taking time out of her day to give something so wonderful to us. Her laser hair removal testimonial brought us full circle. Hearing our client say she received exactly what we strive to provide every day was both fun and moving.

When I heard our very first radio ad for the very first time I was stunned. When I started Bella Medspa 3 years ago, I was looking to bring non-invasive cosmetic services to the market in a very different way. I wanted to offer them in a way that was accessible, affordable, even enjoyable, for the consumer, without compromising safety or efficacy. I wanted the customer to understand the procedures and to feel like she was receiving real value in exchange for the money she was handing over to us. Oh, and I was looking to create a real connection between Bella Medspa and each and every customer. Corny, I know. But true.

We had to start somewhere so we started with Laser Hair Removal. These procedures are based solidly in science, physics and biology however my experience as a consumer had been that they were made to sound confusing–almost like voodoo. Not to mention that the price tag for so many of them made me feel like I was getting raked.

A big thanks to Jen for her testimonial and all of the laser hair removal customers we have created relationships with. You are what keep me going into work each day.
