Imagine yourself in 5 years looking younger than you look right now. That is a reality that we ALL would love, am I right? Reversing aging and actually improving your skin – not just the surface layer but on a deeper level – almost sounds too good to be true. We’re happy to share that research shows that changes CAN occur in the actual DNA of the skin cells that makes them behave like younger cells. Read on to learn more about what HALO and BBL can do for you.
BBL Laser – Turn Back the Clock 
Having healthy-looking skin can help you maintain a youthful appearance, but there are a host of aesthetic concerns that you may face as you age. For some people, it’s sun damage and brown spots. For others, it’s a red or flushed appearance or broken capillaries. Whether you notice these signs of aging on your face, your arms, your legs, or another area of your body, restoring even-toned skin can make a dramatic difference. BBL treatment can offer this change. Furthermore research done by Stanford University School of Medicine has shown an actual, deep-seated change that literally reverses years of damage does happen. All of this with no downtime, too!
BroadBand Light (BBL) treatment delivers high-intensity pulses of light that target specific skin conditions. It can be particularly effective against damage you may have experienced from a lifetime of ultraviolet light exposure. Skin conditions that are improved by BBL treatments include:

• Pigmented lesions like freckles and age spots
• Vascular lesions (rosacea and others)
• Acne
• Deeper lesions and darker types of skin

HALO HYBRID FRACTIONAL LASER – Get the Halo Glow 
The Halo is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser. It simultaneously delivers non-ablative and ablative wavelengths in a single pass over the skin. Especially noteworthy, the ablative laser is one of the most effective treatments for improving the signs of aging. By removing the outer layers of damaged skin, the skin is forced to heal, increase collagen production and restructure, making way for tighter, rejuvenated skin. In addition the Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser focuses energy on the deeper collagen layer of skin leaving the surface of your skin largely in tact for a quicker healing time. It delivers the results of an ablative procedure with little-to-no downtime, like a non-ablative treatment. As a result you get the best of both worlds!
In the past, you had to choose between a procedure that offered really great results but required a lengthy recovery, or a procedure with a fast recovery but marginal results. Now with HALO, you get the best of both worlds: great results with minimal downtime and customization to fit different needs.
HALO targets:

• Discoloration
• Sun damage
• Visible signs of aging
• Uneven skin tone
• Enlarged pores
• Poor texture
• Fine lines
• Scar revision

In conclusion, these two treatments pack a solid punch and when you combine them, the results are remarkable! Don’t miss our New Year, New You special happening NOW through 2/28/18 where we are going to offer a FREE BBL* treatment to any patient who schedules a HALO treatment. Aren’t you excited about these options that we have for improving skin? We simply love seeing our patients get their glow on and restore a more youthful look. We can almost see the confidence boost on their faces and that’s so meaningful for us. Thank you for trusting us to take care of your skin. We love our jobs!

2. BBL LASER: You don’t have to be stuck with those age spots, brown spots or that uneven skin texture. BBL can pretty much fix it all, reducing the appearance of damage and taking years off your complexion. Consider this the next generation of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy. Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin type and your desired results. Any area of your body can be treated. The most common areas are those most exposed to the damaging effects of sunlight. The most popular treatments are on the face, neck, back of the hands, chest and shoulders.

The holiday season is a great time to give to others with random acts of kindness. Did you know that science  shows that random acts of kindness are highly contagious! When we see someone else helping another person, it gives us a good feeling which causes us to go out and do something altruistic ourselves. Random acts of kindness are thoughtful and caring and will always brighten someone else’s day. While the possibilities for the things you can do to be kind are endless, the most important thing is to expect nothing in return. Complimenting people often and expressing sincere gratitude are great ways to get you started.
Here are five more Random Acts of Kindness:

1. Visit or send postcards to sick kids in the hospital.  Even if you don’t know them, kids will love having someone new to talk to. So bring a small gift, like a card or stuffed animal, to show them that people are thinking of them.
2. Visit the elderly and bring them cookies or another holiday treat.  Encourage them to tell their stories and listen intently. Besides, his kind of interaction will brings smile to all faces
3. Volunteer for a cause you care about. Find a homeless shelter in your area, and offer your help with meals and transportation. If you love animals, look for an animal shelter or rescue. Help out by cleaning cages and taking the dogs for walks.
4. Being kind to yourself is just as important as being kind to other people. Take care of yourself by getting rid of  negative thoughts. Take a break to read a good book, have a beauty treatment, and be sure to compliment yourself. Support yourself with positive affirmation, and be patient when things don’t go exactly as planned. This will also put you in a better mindset to help others.
5. Pay it forward. Pay for the meals of the people sitting next to you at a restaurant. Cover the coffee for the people in the car behind you at the drive-thru. Feed the parking meter for the car next to yours to keep them from getting a ticket. Pay for tickets for the family in line behind you at the zoo or movies.

In conclusion, get creative with your family and friends and discuss some things that you feel would make a positive difference in someone’s else day. Good habits start with doing and they become habits with repeating. Random Acts of Kindness do not have to be saved for the holiday season only.  Furthermore, thinking  of others and giving your time and effort is a wonderful practice any time of the year.

Happy Holidays! Enjoy this wonderful season!
