Last year is over! That means this can be YOUR YEAR!! With that being said, what are you going to do differently to get the promotion, meet your self-care goals, or to take your relationship to the next level? How about start with a full body transformation, and great news…WE CAN HELP!!

Below are a few ideas of how to incorporate a few of our services to give you the self-esteem boost you so desperately need!

1. Let’s start with getting rid of those crows feet and forehead wrinkles! Dysport, which is a popular injectable treatment that can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Is a great service that can help you get 10-20 years back in time! It is best noted for its natural-looking results. Treatments with Dysport are often compared with those using Botox, though there are some differences. Here are the additional benefits:

Less evidence of wrinkles and fine lines
Diminished crow’s-feet and frown lines
Natural Looking Wrinkle Reduction
Dysport does not entail surgery or anesthesia
Go back to work the same day after treatment

2. All right ladies and gentlemen, what about thin lips or sunken features? Well, Restylane is your answer! It was created to emulate the body’s own hyaluronic acid, and comes in preparations that contain three different particle sizes that allow doctors to customize treatments to the individual.

Fine particles are used for detailed shaping and fine wrinkles.
Medium particles are used for medium to severe folds and wrinkles.
Large particles are used to create volume and for severe wrinkles.

Studies suggest that patients treated with Dysport and Restylane in the same areas of the face have better and longer-lasting results than when either product was used alone. Restylane^® can be used to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct
moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Restylane may also be used for lip enhancement in patients over 21 years.The combination of the two products provide a softer, more natural look than many other treatment modalities.

While Dysport works to relax fine to moderate facial lines and wrinkles, Restylane fills in those lines. Dysport helps to maintain the benefits of the Restylane in a combination that works beautifully to restore a youthful, well-rested appearance.

3. Last, but certainly not least, what about the Quarantine15?? Have no fear, CoolSculpting^®is here! Freeze your stubborn fat and feel great about the way you look in your power suit! The unique CoolSculpting^® fat-freezing technology is a nonsurgical, scientifically proven way to reduce pockets of fat in trouble spots such as the abdomen, flanks, or under the chin in as little as one session.

Does CoolSculpting Work?

Post author By rsadminloa
Post date November 20, 2020

When CoolSculpting first entered the aesthetic market in 2010, people were extremely skeptical that it could eliminate stubborn fat without surgery, incisions, or downtime.

Nine years and seven million treatments later, CoolSculpting has become the No. 1 non-invasive body contouring treatment for women and men.

However, there are still some individuals in Arlington, Virginia who are not convinced of its efficacy and wonder: Does CoolSculpting work?

If you are considering CoolSculpting in or around Arlington, Virginia, and want to learn more about its consistent and reliable fat reduction, here’s everything you need to know to make a well-informed decision.

How Does CoolSculpting Eliminate Fat?

In order to answer the question – Does CoolSculpting work? – it’s important to discuss how the technology approaches fat.

CoolSculpting uses a process known as cryolipolysis to target and freeze fat cells beneath the skin.

During the treatment, controlled cooling is applied to pinchable fat and causes fat cells to undergo apoptosis (cell death). The crystallized fat cells are then cleared from the body via the lymphatic system.

All of this occurs without incisions, cutting, anesthesia, or damage to skin and surrounding structures.

Does CoolSculpting Work?

Although CoolSculpting is one of the most-studied body contouring treatments with a trusted track record, some people still wonder if it actually slims and sculpts the body.

The good news is that CoolSculpting in Northern Virginia is clinically-proven to eliminate up to 24 percent of fat cells in the treated area. This provides circumferential reduction in the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, and arms and improves the fit and appearance of clothing.

Many individuals also report feeling more confident and comfortable about their bodies after undergoing CoolSculpting.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Most patients can note visible fat reduction within four-to-six weeks of treatment. These results continue to improve and typically peak around eight-to-12 weeks.

Best of all, once the fat cells are eliminated from the body, they are gone for good.

Accordingly, CoolSculpting not only works, it provides permanent fat reduction as long as patients maintain a relatively stable weight.

Lip Augmentation in Arlington

Post author By rsadminloa
Post date October 19, 2020

So, it’s not surprising that many women and men are turning to lip injections to perfect their pout and enhance their looks.

If you are considering lip filler, continue reading for everything you need to know about lip augmentation in Arlington.

What is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation is an injectable procedure that improves lip size, shape, and contours with dermal fillers.

Patients often seek lip augmentation in Arlington to achieve soft, full lips with added definition and volume.

What Can Patients Expect from Lip Augmentation in Arlington?

Lip augmentation is performed in an office setting and takes approximately 30 minutes.

Prior to the procedure, the treatment area may be numbed with a topical or local anesthetic.

Then, an ultra-thin needle is used to administer lip filler as a series of precisely-placed injections. The injector may manually shape the product throughout the process to ensure smooth application and desired effects.

Post-treatment, patients may also experience minor and temporary bruising and swelling, which should dissipate within a few days. Otherwise, they are free to go about their day as they normally would, without any restrictions.

Lip augmentation results are immediate and will continue to improve as residual swelling subsides.

Which Fillers Can Be Used for Lip Augmentation?

Restylane and Juvederm are two of the most popular fillers for lip augmentation in Arlington.

They are both comprised of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that’s naturally produced by the body and, therefore, doesn’t require allergy testing.

Hyaluronic acid is also extremely hydrophilic and can hold up to 1000 its weight in water.

As a result, HA fillers like Restylane and Juvederm provide instant volumizing and hydrating effects, for undeniably soft and smooth lips.

How Long Do Results Last?

Following lip augmentation in Arlington, patients can enjoy added volume and definition for six-to-12 months, depending on the product used.

Boost Your Immune System and Protect Yourself!

Post date August 15, 2020

During these uncertain times there are a few things you can still do to help boost your immune system and steps you can take to protect yourself. We will talk about some great best practices to help you over the next few weeks!
First of all, a healthy immune system is incredibly important during this pandemic. Make sure you are eating lots of Vitamin C and Vitamin D rich foods. Superfoods with antioxidants are very helpful as well. Should you feel sick or need to recover this type of diet should help!
Vitamin C helps fight the oxidative stress which you will experience due to infection. Vitamin C assists your cells to fight free radicals and cleans up the external threats to your body. Vitamin C rich foods include: oranges, lemons, limes, berries, kiwi, broccoli and tomatoes. 
Here is a great smoothie recipe full of Vitamin C and Superfoods, just blend and enjoy:
1 banana
1 cup frozen pineapple
2-3 cups organic spinach
1 knob fresh ginger, peeled (about 2 inches of ginger) or about 1 tsp. powdered
1 knob turmeric root (about 2 inches fresh turmeric) or about 1 tsp. powdered
1/2 tablespoon manuka or raw honey
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or a just couple grinds)
1/2-3/4 cup almond milk or coconut milk
Other foods that are very important are leafy greens which are high in anti-oxidants. Fresh healthy food during this time will help fight disease, fatigue, and will help you with a sense of normalcy. Try to stock up when you can!
Another tip includes the use of proper hygiene! As adults, most people tend to be a little lax when it comes to basic hygiene. Now is the time to get in better habits. One thing to focus on is proper handwashing. Washing your hands upon entering your house or work is especially important. We also recommend using hand sanitizer if you must leave your house with at least 40% alcohol. Here is a great video to show you the recommended way to wash your hands!
Finally, social distancing will be beneficial, whenever possible maintain a 6 foot radius from others. This will significantly help not to spread COVID-19. It travels through water droplets from coughing and sneezing. Maintain your distance and help to stop the spread of this disease! 
Another great idea if you are stuck in the house is finding a routine that works for you! Start the day with yoga, meditation, prayer, reading a book or something that helps you to center yourself if you are working from home or have just become a homeschooler. Try to take everything day by day and find things that inspire you. Be creative, take an afternoon nap (if possible), embrace this rest from the everyday hustle and bustle! Together we will get through this!
