VASER Shape Coming to Refresh Laser Skin Spa!

We are thrilled to announce that Refresh Laser Skin Spa will be launching our newest treatment addition at the end of this month.

VASER Shape, a non-invasive fat removal solution delivers remarkable results without downtime, scars, or the excessive costs associated with surgical procedures. It is ideal for the average person who wants to target a specific problem area with no downtime.

VASER Shape not only targets fat cells, but skin laxity and visible cellulite as well. Nearly all areas of the body can be treated and treatments can be performed as frequently as twice per week. Most clients can expect to need between three and six treatments, however many notice results after the first treatment alone.

We will be launching VASER Shape on February 27th and are currently booking consultations as this treatment currently has a very high demand.

As they say, Problem area? Vaser it!

Eat Your Way to a Smoother Body!

Along with the beauty of trees sprouting their spring buds, birds chirping, and flowers blooming the Spring season also brings the inevitable:

bare legs.

As women, 98% of us suffer from the condition known as cellulite.

Here at Refresh, we offer the only FDA approved laser treatment for cellulite- SmoothShapes- and have consistently seen truly incredible results.

When you begin your treatment series with us, we always prepare you with an excellent list of tips and recommendations to better your results.

Today we would like to talk about going even further and show you some ways that your diet (not a diet, but your diet) can help, too.

• With a proper diet for reducing cellulite, a person needs to include as many iodine-rich foods as possible. Iodine is required for normal functioning of the thyroid gland. Iodine is needed by this gland so that it may produce T3 and T4 which are required for normal body functions throughout the body.
• Always remember that yo-yo dieting is believed to make cellulite worse. One of the best cellulite diet tips notes that you should be prepared to make a permanent change in the foods you eat. Some of these changes will be easy because they are foods that you already enjoy. The challenge is in avoiding the foods that are detrimental to the cellulite reducing diet you have mapped out for yourself. Change the foods you eat permanently for long term results in reducing the appearance cellulite.
• A few more cellulite diet tips revolve around investing in a juice extractor. These juicers come in a variety of sizes and price ranges. There should be one to fit your budget. Vegetable and fruit juices extracted from fresh produce are one of the best ways to get the nutrients the body needs for healthy skin and for detoxification of the body.
• Water is vital to flush out toxins from the body. It is important to be well hydrated for healthy cellular functioning. The rule of 6 to 8 glasses of water a day is a good one but if you would like a more personalized requirement amount, you can divide your body weight in pounds by 18. This will give you a daily water requirement.
• Eggs, cheese and milk—eggs are high in protein and easy to prepare but have them boiled or poached. Stay away from frying them in oil, butter or margarine. Cheese is okay but choose the low fat varieties. For example, cottage cheese contains about 4 grams of fat per 100 grams. And regular cheddar cheese contains about 32 grams of fat per 100 grams serving. Milk is high in calcium but a good rule to follow is to always choose skim or 2%.
• Fresh fruits that are water rich such as melon or cantaloupe are great snacks and due to their high water content, will aid in the detoxification process. Other fruits to include are bananas, strawberries, grapes and pears. Vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals. Try raw veggies thinly sliced in a salad to add crunch. Since they aren’t cooked they retain all their nutrients. Vegetables to include are radishes, asparagus, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, leeks, artichokes, turnips, onions, watercress, string beans, mushrooms and lettuce.
• Protein is needed by the body for proper nutrition. Always choose lean cuts of meat and remove any excess fat or skin from poultry or meat. Fish and seafood are iodine rich and contain the omega fatty acids that are so beneficial to healthy skin. Seafood is also high in iodine to boost thyroid functioning. Be sure you try a vegetable source of protein such as soy or tofu. You might like them!
• A list of cellulite diet tips wouldn’t be completed without mentioning foods to avoid. These include pickles, chips, cold cuts or similar processed foods, anything with a high salt or sugar content, and excessive amounts of caffeine. When eating out, ordering a salad is a good choice just be aware that most salad fixings at restaurants contain MSG, a high sodium preservative.
• When taking vitamin supplements for cellulite reduction, always take them with meals for maximum absorption. Be sure to consult your physician before starting this diet if you are on any medications or have special health concerns.

SilkPeel Featured on Entertainment Tonight!

Do you want to know what celebrities did this year to look their best for red carpet events like the Academy Awards? Nobody knows better than Hollywood Dermatologist, Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald. She was on the popular culture news program Entertainment Tonight with Nancy O’Dell and Mark Stienes, discussing the secret procedures for the stars that only take minutes to do, and give them a sparkle and shine for the cameras:

 

Number one on her list of Celebrity requests was the SilkPeel Dermalinfusion. A SilkPeel facial procedure can take as little as 20 minutes to perform and leaves your face softer and more radiant. It is part of what the Entertainment Tonight host introduced as Pre-Oscar Facial Miracles

“It really takes a lot of that dry, dead skin off of the top,” said Dr. Fitzgerald.

Popular SilkPeel procedures include the Antioxidant SilkPeel with Vitamin-C and Hyaluronic Acid, providing an anti-aging skin rejuvenation that hydrates the skin deeply while providing rich antioxidant therapy and improved cellular stimulation for better turnover.

I know what you are thinking: “Celebrities dont have these kinds of skin problems!!” To which I can only reply, “Thats right and perhaps thats the best measure of just how good the SilkPeel Dermalinfusion is!”

Feel Great Again with Affirm SmartSkin CO2

Ever wonder how celebrities achieve that natural-looking youthful glow? Their secret is actually one of the most talked about aesthetic procedures: fractional laser resurfacing. SmartSkin CO2 treatment allows the patient to reduce the appearance of pores, wrinkles, and sun-damaged skin.

So how does SmartSkin CO2 treatment work?

The skin is treated one micro portion at a time and repeated thousands of times. Each micro column receives just enough laser energy to vaporize the aged skin while also stimulating new collagen growth of surrounding tissue. It’s more than skin resurfacing; it’s deep skin rejuvenation.

Immediately following the treatment, your body naturally starts replacing aged tissue cells with new tissue. Shortly after the procedure, you’ll notice your skin looks and feels visibly smoother, healthier, and younger looking. Results will continue to improve over time, though you can resume your normal active lifestyle in as little as two to seven days.

Don’t forget to check out our new SmartSkin CO2 Before and After Gallery!!

Acne Scar Removal: Healing Old Wounds

In the most recent issue of The Latest in Acne and Rosacea, the power of Fractional ablative lasers takes the stage. For decades there has been a global search for the cure for acne. To date, none has been found- but as this article enforces: Fractional lasers are currently the best treatment for acne scars. Hands down.

Here at Refresh, we have been singing this tune for nearly three years. Seeing our thoughts and findings on white paper is a huge success for not only Fractional Lasers, but for the long-time suffers of acne scars.

Summarized perfectly by Jill Waibel, MD, “You need deep laser resurfacing for maximum improvement.” Additionally, “the [upside] of the laser is that as you do additional treatments, you will see additional improvement, patients don’t plateau.” Meaning, with other treatments available (ProActiv, oral medications, skin care, etc) there is a “best result” and once you reach that point, that is the best you can get. And in some cases, the “best result” will only last so long, because your body grows immune to the active ingredients which got you that result in the first place.

The article also candidly speaks to the unfortunate news that we haven’t found the cure. Dr. Waibel says, “You can improve acne scars, but you can’t make them perfect.” It is important to realize that for the time being, Fractional Lasers are the best option when treating these scars, but our expectations as clients must respect and reflect that.

Rave Reviews for SmoothShapes!

We would like to share some recent client reviews about SmoothShapes – real clients sharing their experiences with this truly unique and effective treatment.

Have you had your SmoothShapes yet?!  Now is the time to feel confident showing some leg!

Here is what some recent SmoothShapes clients have to say:

“This treatment is so amazing! I love SmoothShapes so much and I love the staff at Refresh Laser Spa.  The owner, Kimberly Hall is very knowledgeable about the whole process and gives you all the facts about whether or not SmoothShapes is for you. She really wants you to be happy with your results!  Paula performed my treatments and was very pleasant during the process.  I had 10 sessions on the back of my legs and 10 sessions on the front of my legs and I tell you what; the results exceeded my expectations! Diet and exercise alone did not decrease the appearance of cellulite on my legs.  This treatment surpassed the goals I had for my appearance.  I love my legs!  I can wear my skinny jeans again!  I am wearing shorts, which I never used to do!  I am wearing lots of little black dresses.  I bought 3 new suits for the summer.  The list goes on & on…….  If I could say one thing to help someone questioning this treatment it would be make the investment the right way!  This is a non-surgical procedure that really does give the results you are looking for!  The costs is so minimal compared to the results.  If you compare the cost to a surgical procedure it is way less and maintaining your results is so easy.  Thanks, Refresh Laser Spa!”

“I loved my SmoothShapes treatments, they were very relaxing, and absolutely no pain at all. I have lost 1 and a 1/2 inches on each leg after 8 treatments and the cellulite has been reduced substantially. I am not afraid to show some leg since my treatments. Finally, something that really reduces cellulite! Thank you, Refresh Laser Spa!” PF, Denver, CO

“SmoothShapes is just what I needed! Not only did I notice a significantly diminished look of cellulite, I also noticed a big change in the shape of my saddlebags which also surprisingly almost became non-existent! I was pleasantly surprised. I can’t recommend SmoothShapes more!” SS, Boulder, CO

“Kimberly, I want to thank you and Refresh Laser Spa for my great results from the SmoothShapes treatments. I had my hips, back of thighs, and stomach/abdomen areas done. I am 51 and when I arrived for my first treatment I was wearing my “fat jeans” and a “big shirt”. Throughout the treatments, I noticed my clothes started fitting looser which for me was the true test and my goal. My skin was softer and smoother with less bulges and lumps. By the end of my treatments I came in wearing my “SKINNY JEANS” and getting compliments on how great I look and people asking me if I’ve lost weight!! I’m usually a skeptic, but I got fantastic results from something that really works. I am loving the outcome. I lost 2″ on my thighs! To be able to wear things I haven’t worn in years, all I can say is WOW! Thank you so much Kimberly and your office staff for being so courteous and professional. I’ll be back for other services for sure.” JS, Denver, CO

“After doing my research and finding out about the advancement of laser technology I was curious if the SmoothShapes procedure would help improve the appearance of the cellulite I had on my thighs. I met with Kimberly and her staff and felt very comfortable with working with them. Kimberly explained everything in detail and what results I could expect from the treatment. She was right!! I lost 2 inches of circumference in each thigh and the appearance of the cellulite is greatly diminished. This really works!!” SM, Boulder, CO
