Dermasound Ultrasonic Facial Treatment

I attended a refresher class yesterday on the Dermasound Ultrasonic Facial Treatment. It is one of the fabulous services offered at Advanced Body Care!! There are so many treatments available to the consumer that it is really hard to decide who to go to and what treatments are really effective. I learned yesterday the Dermasound machine has the largest study ever done on a piece of esthetic equipment. So exciting!!! So what exactly is an Ultrasonic Facial treatment? It is actually 3 treatments in one. The first process is a ultrasonic exfoliation using water and ultrasonic waves. Just as effective as microdermabrasion but much gentler on the skin and also creates micro-pathway's for products to penetrate evenly and deeply. The second process is an infusion of products into the skin. Depending on the condition, products with stem cells and peptides for wrinkles can be infused, or benzoyl peroxide can be used for acne. Products that help calm redness associated with rosacea can also be used. During the infusion process the products are reaching a level to where they can actually help the health of a damaged cell. The final step is microcurrent. Microcurrent has the capability of stimulating collagen (which breaks down as we age and causes those pesky wrinkles) and reducing redness and inflammation in the skin! Such an amazing treatment and the best thing is that it is actually quite relaxing to have done. The other benefit is there is no down time! The show " The Dr's" also promoted this treatment on their show because the results are so amazing! I would encourage you to give it a try sometime so you can see the results for yourself!

Product Junkie!

I have to admit I am a self confessed product junkie! I have a cupboard full of products that I may have used once or not at all. Hair, skin and body products galore! My husband doesn't understand the need for so many beauty products, but I try to tell him they all serve a purpose in my daily/weekly regimen. Being in the beauty industry, it is very easy to accumulate all these products. We receive samples from vendors, trade shows, classes, but then I thought, if all these companies paid less money to hand out hundreds of thousands of samples that may or may not get used and put that money into making a healthier, safer product, wouldn't that be great? We use things everyday that contain harmful ingredients that over time can lead to certain illnesses. Chemicals such as fragrance, parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, etc should be avoided if possible. The reason these companies use these ingredients is because it is cheaper and therefore, they can make more of a profit off the product. I am bothered by this because these big companies only care about making money off me, but have no concern about my health and safety. So, I decided to only use products that did not contain these harmful ingredients in my daily and weekly regimen. I also wanted a healthy product line I could use on my clients and feel comfortable with the fact that I am actually nourishing their skin instead of harming it. My two favorite lines by far are Eminence Organic Skin Carehttp://eminenceorganics.com and Image Skin Care.http://imageskincare.com I've seen amazing results in my skin as well as my clients skin. Gone are the days of redness, itchiness, dryness and irritation!!! The Eminence products are composed of raw fruits and vegetables and cold pressed which means the nutrients and minerals are still intact. They smell amazing as it is the natural scent of the fruit or plant being used. The Image products are more of a medically based skin care line with utilizing peptides, vitamin C, green tea and plant based stem cells which are great for aging skin and reducing inflammation. I've seen amazing results with both lines and cannot wait to share them with you!
