Back to School Treatments for Busy Parents
Summer has flown by, and before you know it, school is back in session. For most parents, this can be a relief – you finally have time to take a breath and get back into a routine that doesn’t include copious amounts of sunscreen, pools, and dirt.
It’s true that the school year can be equally as crazy as summer, if not more, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take a few minutes to take care of yourself. Sure, you may be a parent being pulled in a hundred different directions, but do you have to LOOK like you’re frazzled?
Facial Treatments at the Vein Care Center
At the Vein Care Center, we don’t think that your skin should reflect how busy your life is. Dr. Manu Aggarwal offers a choice of aesthetic procedures and skin care products to help you stave off the effects of aging, as well as help your skin recover from the ravages of summer. There’s something for everyone – moms and dads alike. We recommend the following as excellent “post summer break ” treatments:
- HydraFacial
- Microdermabrasion
- Ultherapy®
HydraFacial MD
HydraFacial MD is a multi-step, specialized approach that combines both calming and revitalizing skin resurfacing therapies into one treatment. The unique five step treatment not only improves how your skin looks and feels, but regular treatments will actually restore your skin’s health.
The difference between HydraFacial MD and other rejuvenating treatments is that each step of the facial uses a different, specially designed applicator tip, and includes a uniquely formulated serum to thoroughly cleanse, nourish, and replenish your skin. The result after a relaxing 30-minute procedure is hydrated, beautiful skin, including:
- Vibrant, more even tone and improved texture
- Noticeably less fine lines and wrinkles
- Diminished visibility of dark spots
- Increased elasticity and firmness
- Calmer skin with less oil and congestion
- Smaller pores
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is an anti-aging treatment that uses a mechanical abrasion tool and microcrystals to exfoliate your face. This treatment essentially sloughs off the surface layer of dry, dead skin cells to unearth the more radiant skin underneath. Another benefit to microdermabrasion is that your body recognizes the deep exfoliation as an injury, so it boosts the formulation of collagen and elastin in your face. These vital proteins are the building blocks for healthy, younger looking skin. In less than an hour, microdermabrasion can effectively treat minor skin issues, such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven pigmentation or hyperpigmentation
- Mild acne, whiteheads, and blackheads
- Light scarring and acne scars
- Coarse skin
- Sun damage
Ultherapy®
If you’ve noticed sagging or loose skin, but don’t yet feel like you’re a candidate for a facelift, Ultherapy® might be the answer. Ultherapy® uses ultrasound technology to improve skin’s appearance, specifically on the eyebrow, neck, and under the chin.
After cleansing your skin and applying a special gel, Dr. Aggarwal will use ultrasound imaging to see into the underlying layers of your skin, identifying the specific areas for treatment. Using a smooth treatment applicator, ultrasound energy is delivered beneath the skin’s surface, which immediately tightens and tones the skin, while also stimulating new collagen growth. The procedure takes approximately one hour, and the benefits include:
- Non-invasive and virtually painless
- No downtime or recovery, and minimal side effects (if any)
- Natural looking results
If your face is showing the effects of age, summer sun, and a busy, stressful life, spend an hour with Dr. Aggarwal and come out feeling and looking refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready for another school year. Call Vein Care Center today at 419-227-4472 to schedule an appointment.
