Five Fun Ways to Spend Mother's Day

Belladerm • May 2, 2016

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Why not do something fun and different this year. Here are five fun ways to spend Mother’s Day! 1) Start a new tradition this year by creating a family comic strip. Take a long sheet of paper, and draw three or four large squares next to one another, like a newspaper comic strip. Then think of an event, celebration, or something funny that happened this past year, and illustrate it with markers, crayons, or paints. Be sure to include dialogue, a date, and a title, such as “Life with the Petersons.” Older children can help with the drawing and writing, while younger kids help color the pictures. Save your comic strip, and create another one next year and others in years to come. When you’re ready to compile all of your strips into a book, stack the pages and thread them together with sturdy yarn. 2) Get pampered. At some point on Mother’s Day, you may want some time alone or a chance for a little rest and relaxation. Make sure you get what you need — and deserve — by asking for it in advance. For instance, a few days before Mother’s Day, give your husband and kids a list of five “services” you desire. The list could include: -An hour alone so I can call a friend or soak in the tub -A chance to sleep in until 9 a.m. -A manicure at my favorite nail salon-Whatever else you’d really love! Have your husband and kids make up coupons with each of these services, and be  sure to redeem them throughout Mother’s Day weekend. Or how about having your husband send us an e-mail telling us what you want, you just have click on the link and it is as easy as can be.   https://www.belladermmedspa.com/promotions/psst-get-a-gift-card 3)Plant some flowers. If you have some extra space in your garden, you can create a real, live  Mother’s Day canvas. First, buy various packets of flower seeds that grow fast and well in your region. Then have your kids draw a picture or write a short message (like “We love Mom”) in the garden dirt with a stick. Drop the flower seeds into the dirt lines; then cover them up, and water every few days. Before long, your picture (or message) will be blooming, and you’ll have a Mother’s Day gift that keeps on growing. 4) Schedule time for hugs. What would Mother’s Day be like without hugs and kisses all around? One way to work them into your day is by setting up a silly “hugs and kisses” schedule and posting it on the refrigerator or other visible spot. For instance, you could write, “10:30 a.m.: Everyone runs around the couch and gives Mom a hug and kiss.” or “2:15 p.m.: Everyone hops around the oak tree on one foot and assembles for a group hug.” Make up your own directions and silly things to do — but be sure to include lots of hugs, kisses, and laughter in your day. 5) Give to Others.  Mother’s Day is about honoring all mothers. This Mother’s Day help a mother in need by donating to organizations that help mothers and children. Or register to do the Susan G. Komen walk or run and celebrate with hundred of mom, mom supporters and children.

What to Expect During Your First BBL HEROIC™ Treatment

December 1, 2025
If you have been researching treatments for sun damage, uneven tone, or redness, you have likely come across BBL HEROIC™, the newest generation of BroadBand Light by Sciton . This advanced light-based treatment is one of the most effective ways to reverse visible signs of aging and improve skin clarity with minimal downtime. December is an ideal time to begin BBL HEROIC™ in Minnesota because sun exposure is lower and patients are ready to refresh their skin for the winter season. This guide explains exactly what to expect during your first BBL HEROIC™ photofacial so you feel prepared, informed, and confident before your appointment at Belladerm MedSpa. What BBL HEROIC™ Treats BBL HEROIC™ (High Energy Rapid Output and Intense Cooling) is known for its ability to dramatically improve discoloration and overall skin tone. It is commonly recommended for patients seeking treatment for: Sun damage and brown spots Freckles and hyperpigmentation Redness and rosacea Broken capillaries Dull or uneven skin tone Rough texture and visible aging Because BBL HEROIC™ delivers quick, consistent, high-energy pulses of light, patients often see faster and more noticeable results than with traditional BBL. What BBL HEROIC™ Feels Like A common question from first-time patients is what BBL HEROIC™ feels like. The treatment is quick and very tolerable for most individuals. Here is what you can expect: Protective eye shields will be placed before the treatment begins. A cooling gel is applied to the skin to enhance comfort and ensure smooth movement of the handpiece. Each pulse feels like a warm snap or quick flick of heat combined with a flash of bright light. The advanced cooling built into the HEROIC™ platform makes the treatment more comfortable than traditional IPL or older BBL devices. Most full-face BBL HEROIC™ treatments take only 30 minutes. Many patients add the neck, chest, or hands for more comprehensive results. Timeline of BBL HEROIC™ Results Understanding the treatment timeline helps set clear expectations for first-time patients. Immediately after treatment: Skin may look pink or slightly flushed. Brown pigment will darken temporarily. This is normal and expected. Days 2 to 5: Brown spots begin to look like small, dark speckles (commonly called “peppering”). These gradually rise to the skin’s surface and naturally slough off. Redness and small blood vessels begin to fade. One to two weeks after treatment: Skin tone appears more even and bright. Texture improves, and makeup applies more smoothly. Overall clarity continues to improve. Multiple sessions: While many patients see visible improvement after one treatment, a series of three to six BBL HEROIC™ sessions produces the most transformative results, especially for sun damage, rosacea, and persistent pigment. BBL HEROIC™ Aftercare Proper aftercare is essential to protect your results and prevent new pigmentation from forming. Recommended aftercare: Use gentle skincare for the first 48 hours. Keep the skin hydrated. Apply sunscreen daily. Allow darkened pigment to naturally flake off without picking or exfoliating. What to avoid: Intense exercise or high heat for 24 hours. Direct sun exposure, even in winter. Scrubbing or exfoliating the treated area. Normal Side Effects After BBL HEROIC™ It is normal to experience mild, temporary side effects immediately after treatment, including: Pinkness or slight redness Warmth or a mild sunburn-like sensation Darkening of brown spots Light swelling in sensitive areas Most patients return to normal daily activities the same day. Begin Your BBL HEROIC™ Journey at Belladerm MedSpa BBL HEROIC™ is one of the most powerful and reliable treatments for reversing sun damage, evening out skin tone, and restoring natural radiance.
