How to get Summer Smooth Skin 
Top five things you can do now to get your face and body ready for summer.
Finally the weather’s warming up and you’re ready to put away your sweaters and pull out your shorts and tank tops.  With summer right around the corner, now’s the time to take action to get summer smooth skin. With these five skincare guidelines you’re sure to look your absolute best this summer!
1) A Chemical Peel: Long, cold winters can be brutal on your skin. Exfoliating the face and body is the best first step to younger, healthier looking skin. A chemical peel will give you a healthier, younger looking glow with little to no down time. To find out which chemical peel is best for you, set up a complimentary consultation with one of our skilled and experienced Estheticians.
2) Laser Hair Removal: Spring is a good time for Laser Hair removal as you can avoid the temptation of basking in the summer sun. While legs and bikini area are most popular for laser hair removal, anywhere you have unwanted hair is a good place to begin. Belladerm uses the Lumenis LightSheer™; for Laser Hair Removal and it is the Gold Standard laser system for providing permanent hair reduction. The LightSheer laser provides a non-invasive treatment that is nearly pain-free and entails virtually no patient downtime. A well-designed treatment regime can result in long-lasting hair reduction.
3) Cool Sculpting: You can exercise and eat right but some stubborn fat bulges simply will not go away!  One sure way to rid unsightly fat is with CoolSculpting®.  Cool Sculpting is a non-surgical way to lose those annoying bumps and bulges. This revolutionary technology targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges. There are no needles, surgery, or downtime.  Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months.
4) Sun Protection Products: What a difference a good skin care regime can make in terms of healthy younger looking skin. While you do not necessarily need to make any drastic changes to your skin care routine to get your skin summer ready, it is extremely important to use a top quality, broad spectrum sun screen with a SPF of at least 30. At Belladerm we have a great selection of Sun Protection products.
5) Spider Vein Therapy: Approximately 50% to 60% of men and women have unsightly leg veins. While sclerotherapy is still considered the treatment of choice for the removal of superficial leg veins, many vessels may be too small to inject or patients may have an aversion to this invasive procedure. The IPL™ laser system can provide an alternative method of treatment.
Now’s the time to take action and get summer smooth skin, especially while we are offering 15% off all packages!

Let’s face it, summer is always more fun when you know you look your best!  Get summer smooth skin with a customized skincare plan that is best for you!  Call to schedule your complimentary consultation today at 763-494-9905.

Happy New Year!!
Starting a fresh, new year is the ideal time to hit the reset button in many areas of your life. It is the perfect time to check yourself on your priorities, your health, your relationships and more! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, too. Make a special plan for your sweetie or devise a way to finally ask that person out that you’ve been thinking about nonstop.
Starting out 2014, you may also want to consider making a promise to yourself that you will take better care of your skin. Put on that sunscreen every day – even in these cold, winter days! Powerful rays from the sun don’t stop just because it isn’t hot outside. Protect what you’ve got!
You should also make a habit of checking your skin for new or changing spots. You should get something looked at (actually make that appointment!) if it is new, different or just plain odd. Checking your skin at the start of every new season (every 3 months) is a good way to remind yourself. These days, with smart phones that have reminders you can program, there are no excuses!
Maybe this new year you want a new look.  If you are stuck in a rut, change up that hair color! Cut it shorter! Grab a friend who is on the cutting edge of current trends and beg for his/her honest assessment of your style, whether it is clothing, hair or makeup. Come in to Belladerm for a consultation to find out what services/products could dramatically change your skin or body. This is the time! Be energized for NEW things in the NEW year and then get the momentum going to go after what you are passionate about changing.
Have you heard it takes 21 days to form a new habit? Some say that this claim came out of thin air and has no actual facts behind it. Whether or not that is true, this is an interesting article about the topic of habit formation. Don’t be discouraged if you are setting out to make a big transformation and 21 days pass but you aren’t feeling like you’ve got it down yet. Many people have given up because they continue to fail after 21 days so they resign to the fact that they simply cannot change. Stay the course and be encouraged. Your goals are worth your hard work and effort.
Our wish for you in the new year is that you will develop or continue healthy beauty habits, which include some pampering because you DO deserve it! We are here to help you in all of your aesthetic endeavors and don’t forget, consultations are free so come on in to chat with us!
Enjoy the New Year!

WebMD has an intriguing article about how our thankfulness can affect our health. The article suggests that if you want to get healthier, give thanks. Here is an excerpt:
“Grateful people take better care of themselves and engage in more protective health behaviors like regular exercise, a healthy diet, regular physical examinations,” Emmons tells WebMD. Emmons is a psychology professor and he explains how “gratitude research” is showing that people who live with gratitude as a permanent trait, instead of a temporary state of mind, can cope better with stress, and therefore are healthier all around.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Here’s to a heart full of gratitude and a healthier you! We at Belladerm are grateful for the chance to serve you. Thank you for putting your trust in us!
