any prior generation, it’s never been a better time to start combating
the signs of aging that plague you.
NOW, LET’S CHAT ABOUT PROCEDURES
Dermaplaning has had a resurgence of popularity, and it is a perfect
fit for those looking to start a new anti-aging regimen or simply boost
their current program. Dermaplaning works by increasing your body’s
collagen and elastin production (aka plump, tighten and smooth), while
allowing your skincare products a better opportunity to penetrate,
leaving your skin glowing and radiant. This procedure uses a straight-
edge, medical-grade blade to glide across the surface of the skin,
removing the dull, unwanted skin cells, while also taking away the
vellum (baby-fine facial hair). The quick and painless procedure leaves
the skin ultra-soft. It will also reduce the appearance of texture issues
like acne scarring, along with noticeably reducing pore size, and evening
the overall tone of the skin. And the best part: The cost is around $96,
and it is offered at one of the largest and longest-standing spas in the
St. Louis area, The Face & The Body Day Spa. Use the coupon code
“STLGazelle” to get 25 percent off at any of the three locations.
ThermiSmooth Face is a new non-invasive treatment using radio
frequency to induce collagen production, which in turn, smooths out
fine lines and wrinkles, and tightens skin. We need this boost, because as
we journey through the aging process, our facial muscles start to weaken.
This weakness causes sagging, wrinkles and texture issues to appear.
With ThermiSmooth’s super effective, yet gentle treatment, there is
absolutely no downtime, and you schedule the three to six treatments
one month apart with results seen instantly! Who wouldn’t love that?
ThermiSmooth is used mainly on forehead, lower eyelids, jaw line, chin,
neck, and around the upper and lower lips. But the ThermiSmooth
treatment is not just for the face. There is a more powerful device for the
body and a ThermiVa for a more rejuvenated vaginal area (just in time
for Valentine’s Day). Prices vary depending on treatment, but visit my
friends at Pure111 for a consultation, and get 10 percent off any service
when you mention the coupon code “STLGazelle.”
