Who is Aging Gracefully With Aesthetics for and not for?
Not every solution is for everyone, right? Some women (and men) want to be completely different, they want a brand new look when they are barely recognizable and they want to be augmented. Others want to have Aesthetics treatments done on them and get results that make them look rejuvenated, but without any obvious signs of the treatments. There is nothing wrong with any of those desires - they are just different.
Aging Gracefully With Aesthetics is not only a course, but it is also a lifestyle of incorporating Aesthetics in your life in a graceful way long-term.
It is a way I wholeheartedly believe in. Aging Gracefully will help you to achieve a completely natural look, when you look rested and radiant, but nobody would ever guess that you had any Aesthetics work done on you. Sounds good? Here are some clues if it is the right fit for you too:
Aging Gracefully With Aesthetics is for...
- someone who wants to restore and rejuvenate what they once looked like
- someone who ta ...

This can lead to a world of confusion when it comes to what to choose.
1. Maybe you have an event coming, like a reunion, a wedding or an anniversary...and you want to look like your best self. ( We all have been there and done that, wishing we would look fantastic next to our ex-classmates, am I right?)

The Biggest Lesson I learned as a Woman who is seeking Anti-aging Solutions
It really isn't about anti-aging. It's about looking rested and rejuvenated.
It means taking an overall approach as to what can be done with your skin to prevent the next stage of aging from happening.
Exercise The Right To Botox
First of all, everyone could use a little botox in my opinion.
It's preventative, tightens skin, it reduces wrinkles and perspiration, what more can we ask for?!
1. You can start by making a "mean" face, which will show you the need to address the "11's" of the face. Then ask yourself, does it bother you? If you have answered yes, then get it treated because it's only going to get worst if you don't.
2. Next, you are going to smile and find if the crow's feet are on the sides of the eyes that will need some attention. This is a popular place that helps a person look rested and refreshed.
3. Raise your eyebrows. Assess movement and ask yourself if you want a forehead free of wrinkles or maybe movement in this area doesn't bother you. Most who want the movement in between their eyes (11's) injected, like to continue that relaxation in their forehead. Just keep in mind, relaxation may mean initially feeling "heavy
Microneedling vs. Laser - Which One Is For You?
I guess the real important question is this: Which one of these treatments would you prefer?
Obviously, to be able to choose what is best for you - first, we need to create some clarity around these awesome Aesthetic tools & procedures, right?
Laser is a general term for light being emitted onto the skin to restore and rejuvenate. Microneedling is a form of exfoliation.
So which one is best?
The truth is, they are both great treatments.
Here is the thing: you need to identify what is actually happening with your skin. Most people will come in with one concern. Maybe they have concerns with fine lines or a few brown spots they inherited within time. This is normal and very important to take care of what the eye sees.
However, if there is one problem, you are likely to have others that are just not identified. For example, if someone is concerned with the brown spots (also known as hyperpigmentation) within their face, it is likely they have redness and other vascular issues, a...
Can Tracking Your Treatments Save You Money?
Keeping track of your aesthetic treatments can be so helpful in how you make progress and where you direct time and money in self-care.
Here are a couple of questions to ask yourself that will allow you to understand the needs for keeping track.
- Have you ever felt like your lips deflated too soon? And wondered if you metabolize products so much faster than others or the time expected?
- Have you lost track of time and realized you have unwanted movement in your face? And now it's going to be several weeks before you can get into your injectors?
- Or do you find yourself comparing injectors dosing and how much to use?
- Maybe you have had a treatment and wondered if it even made any difference at all? BTW - this is a big and common one.
Here are a few steps on keeping track of all and any of your aesthetic treatments.
- Take a close-up photo of yourself. Use natural light and free of any makeup. Keep in mind this photo is just for your self-documentation and should only b ...
4 Myths of Sun Protection and the Truth Behind Them
We all find ourselves at some point assessing the aging process of our skin. Did you know a major factor in the aging process is sun exposure?
Here are some frequent myths of Sunscreen and the key points to master the art of sun protection.
Truth: You must re-apply sunscreen if you are under direct sunlight. Not all sunscreens are created equal. Your body metabolizes and absorbs your sunscreen like a sponge with heat and exposure. Please keep in mind this is not a one-time process and you should always get in the habit of reapplication.
Myth: "I read sunscreen can be toxic for me."
Truth: The best protection is to have a Full Spectrum block by using sunscreens with Zinc & Titanium as your active ingredients. These natural ingredients will protect you with a physical block between all sun rays.
Myth: "I am proud to say I wear 50+ SPF daily."
Truth: SPF is a small factor in the scheme of things when coming to protection.
