Restful sleep promotes the production of new skin cells. As the surface skin cells die, our complexions begin to look dull and damaged. Sleep helps to clean up the daily damage we’ve inflicted upon our skin (unprotected exposure to UV rays, contact with pollution and free radicals, etc.) by encouraging skin cell turnover more so than during the day, according to Alex Khadavi, M.D., associate dermatology professor at the University of Southern California.

Your skincare products are more effective at night. The retinoids, vitamins, and other anti-aging ingredients in skincare products become less effective after extended exposure to sunlight. At night, the lack of sunlight means that anti-aging ingredients stay active longer than during the day. This is why more nighttime skincare products contain more active ingredients than daytime products.

Lack of sleep can increase stress hormones. Sleep deprivation increases the amounts of stress hormones in your body which can lead to increased inflammation and flare ups of skin conditions like acne or rosacea. This effect can speed up the skin’s aging process leaving you looking older the less sleep you get.

Not getting enough shut eye can decrease hydration. When your body doesn’t get the amount of sleep it needs, its ability to maintain hydration decreases. Once supple skin can become dehydrated, damaged, and dull. This also makes the skin less able to protect itself, leaving it more susceptible to harsh chemicals and environmental contaminants regardless of your skincare regimen.

While it’s important to maintain a healthy skincare schedule, regular anti-aging cosmetic treatments, and avoid skin-damaging sun exposure, getting enough sleep at night is just as important in preserving your skin’s youthful appearance. For those who may have not have gotten to snooze as long as they should have through the years, Style MedSpa offers patients anti-aging and wrinkle reduction treatments including facial fillers, chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, and more.

Daily Shaving

Skin not treated by laser hair removal on average grows one-half inch per month. Facial hair tends to seem to grow faster, because it is typically shaven down to the skin. Facial hair actually grows just as fast as any other hair on the body, but seems to grow faster because men are used to having a clean shaven face. Regardless, one-months’ neglect of shaving would leave most of us looking like a mountain man. Daily shaving is a routine that most of us have became slaves to, but I have good news for you! Laser Hair Removal is quick, effective way to get rid of your unwanted facial hair at a cheap cost to you. Just think about the long term savings of never having to buy razors or shaving cream again and the amount of spare time you will have in the morning!

  Athletic Benefits

From Olympic swimmers to occasional runners, men with athletic pursuits of all levels can benefit from having laser hair removal done in strategic areas to improve their streamlineness and smoothness of their skin. You don’t have to be a major professional athlete to consider having this procedure done. Take your body to the next level for your next swimming competition, running competition, or triathlon!

Healthy and Handsome

Laser hair removal is a common form of hair removal for men. Skin with hair removed from its surface is healthy and smooth. Razors can be harmful, create scarring, and dry out your skin. Laser hair removal will leave your skin smooth and healthy while allowing daily moisturization in the area treated.  Men today are realizing the importance of their skin and the benefits that laser hair removal provides.

The Chest
While chest hair may be a sign of manhood, it isn’t always loved by the guys who sport it. For that reason, many have turned to laser hair removal, which is far less painful than waxing.

The Back
Similarly, back hair is rarely loved by those who don it. More and more men are recognizing the benefits of laser hair removal, especially the permanency of it. In fact, many men who play professional sports are required to remove any hair from the back and chest. Waxing the back is difficult, if not impossible, to do on one’s own and can be quite pricey to have done regularly at a salon. The laser can remove the hair rather quickly, with less discomfort, and it will stay away much longer.

The Bikini Line
For women, hair removal boils down to one very intimate and sensitive area – the bikini line. Waxing, shaving, and other forms of hair removal can result in unsightly rashes and must be done regularly to keep the area appearing smooth and hairless. Lasers, on the other hand, work swiftly, and the effects last.

The Legs
Shaving in the shower is no longer necessary, thanks to laser hair removal and legs everywhere are looking smoother, sleeker, and better than ever before.

If you or someone you know suffers from excess facial hair, for example, there’s a strong chance it’s a sign of PCOS, according to a new report. As many as 15% of women and teenage females have excess facial hair and PCOS is the cause in 70% to 80% of cases. The same is true of excess body hair as well as hair loss known as male pattern baldness.

Women of all ages worried about excessive facial or body hair should consult their doctor to be tested for PCOS, say researchers.

Well there is some good news…YES! We can help your husband!

With just 6-8 treatments, we can help men to reduce their hair growth and enjoy not having to shave, tweeze, or wax to groom for their ladies. Many men are taking notice now, and they’re not all movie stars. Normal men are jumping on board to laser hair removal by having the procedure applied to their neckline, back, and chest.

There are some things that need to be taken into consideration when doing laser hair removal such as color of the hair and skin tone (since the procedure works by using the laser beam to destroy the bulb of the hair), but at the Laser Hair Removal Center/Style MedSpa, a free consultation will answer all of these questions!

While both Botox and Dysport injectables use the botulinum toxin type A to relax facials muscles to help improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles, the major differences between the two can be found in the cost, recommended dosage, dosage forms, formula, and usage. Botox Cosmetic, which has also been licensed under the name Vistabel, is primarily used to prevent and reduce the appearance of expression related wrinkles (Glabellar Lines).  Botox is equally distributed between five separate injection sites, blocking nerve impulses which paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles and allows the skins surface to smooth out as a result. The effects of Botox have been shown to last up to 4 months and should not be received more often than every 12 weeks.  Botox is available in single use vials of 50 units or 100 units, while Vistabel is only available in vials 50 units.

Just like Botox, Dysport, and its cosmetic counterpart Azzalure, are also injected into the facial muscles surrounding expression lines causing these muscles to smooth out and relax the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. While the recommended dose of Botox is 20 units equally distributed between 5 injection sites, both Dysport and Azzalure have a recommended dose of 50 units. The results of both Dysport and Azzalure have been shown to last up to 4 months and just like Botox, should not be received more often than every 12 weeks. It has been said that both Dysport and Azzalure are lower in concentration then Botox, and has fewer proteins surrounding the toxin, which should not only stimulate a weaker immune response but some also claim that it works faster and lasts longer than Botox. Dysport is available in single use vials of 300 units or 500 units and Azzalure comes in a customized single use vial of 125 units and is available in packs of 1 or 2.

While Botox and Dysport have gained popularity for cosmetic purposes, both products have been used for medical conditions as well.  Both Botox and Dysport have not only been FDA approved for the treatment of Glabellar lines, also known as brow furrow lines, but as well for the treatment of Cervical Dystonia, a condition that causes neck muscles to tighten or spasm without control. In addition to Botox and Dysport, Xeomin and Neurobloc have also been approved by the FDA to treat Cervical Dystonia. Though there has been no clear indication of the difference between Botulinum Toxin Type A or B, each of the above mentioned products fall under these two categories. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all forms of Botulinum Toxin Type A, while Neurobloc is a form of Botulinum Toxin Type B. Both Toxins work to inhibit the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for the activation of muscle contractions. Administering either Toxin results in the weakness of the injected muscle allowing for improved posture and function of the dystonic muscle(s).

Each of these above mentioned products differ in their recommended dose, for example Neurobloc’s recommended starting dose is 10,000 units (2.0ml), Xeomin’s is only 120 units, Botox is 200 units and Dysport is 500 units. The other significant difference between these products is the way in which they are stored. Botox, Dysport and Neurobloc all need to be kept refrigerated and only have a 2 year shelf life, while Xeomin does not need to be refrigerated allowing for less risk of developing antibodies and has a shelf life of 3 years. Each of the products come in a variety of single use vials, Dysport is available in 300 unit or 500 unit vials, Botox and Xeomin are available in 50 unit or 100 unit vials, and Neurobloc is available in 3 sizes starting at 2500 unit vials. All products are effective in treating Cervical Dystonia and though some have shown faster and longer results, all effects will gradually diminish and the treatment will need to be repeated in intervals of a duration no less than 12 weeks.

When it comes down to the decision of choosing which product is the right choice please keep in mind that all products mentioned above are minimally invasive and affordable ways to achieve effective treatment whether being used for cosmetic or medical purposes. Whether a product has been shown to take effect quicker, or have results that may last longer should not be the number one factor in making a decision as to which product is right for you. The most important thing to consider when making a decision on which product to use is the practitioner that will be administering the injection.   Choosing a practitioner who is knowledgeable and experienced will ensure you have chosen the product that is best suited for you and your individual needs.

Spider veins are small veins at or near the surface of the skin. They are typically less than 1 mm in diameter and can be blueish or red. They typically appear on the legs or face but can be present on other areas of the body as well. They are differentiated fromvaricose veins because they are not raised or bumpy and they do not impede circulation because they are superficial in nature.

Laser spider vein treatment is very different from the older, more traditional injection treatment – sclerotherapy. With lasers, we do not need to pierce the skin to close off these small spider veins. Rather we are able to close these small veins using heat energy from the lasers. Lasers achieve the same goal of collapsing the spider vein but without the need for an injection by using heat energy to shrink the small blood vessels. Both methods can be effective for treating small veins but our patients choose laser vein removal for several reasons. In some cases they have already tried sclerotherapy with no success. Others say they have had problems with the pain and brown and purple scars caused by sclerotherapy, while others just have an aversion to needles.
