Laser Hair Removal Phoenix

Are you happy with tweezing, shaving or waxing to remove unwanted hair? If not, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering.

About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal sends highly concentrated light are into hair follicles. The color (melanin) in your hair is absorbed by the light. This destroys the hair. Laser hair removal is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the United States.

Did you know that your hair grows in different phases? Laser hair removal works best during the active phase of hair growth, when the laser hair removal machine can target and destroy more hair than when it is in the resting phase. This is why most people need six to eight laser hair removal sessions.

Laser Hair Removal for Men

Many men of you are now realizing the benefits of laser hair removal, too.  Men who wax or shave back hair and/or chest hair have found the benefit of care-free hairlessness with permanent laser hair removal. This is especially true in Phoenix, where summers are particularly hot! Men in Phoenix can both look and feel cooler all year long.

From the traditional areas of the chest and back, many men are finally using laser hair removal to take care of their unibrow, ear hair, and the hair on the back of their necks.Laser hair removal can also be performed on the neck, jaw, and sideburns -- or anywhere dark hair grows!

The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

The biggest advantage with laser hair removal Phoenix is permanent reduction of unwanted hair from your face, underarms, legs, arms, bikini line, "Brazilian" area, and other areas. You’ll be free from shaving, waxing, and plucking forever!
With laser hair removal:

• Ninety percent of patients have permanent hair loss after their sessions.
• Lasers selectively target coarse hairs which tend to be darker while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
• Each pulse of the laser only takes a fraction of a second to zap many hairs at the same time.

Laser Hair Removal Phoenix

With so many places to choose from, how do you know which laser hair removal Phoenix provider is best? Body Beautiful Spa Phoenix is a licensed day spa and medical spa that provides competitive laser prices. Often laser hair removal providers will not quote a price on the phone.

eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation: Clear Skin for Everyone

Body Beautiful Spa is one of the first spas in Phoenix to offer the Sublative Rejuvenation treatment using the Syneron eMatrix system; an innovative, energy based technology that provides radiant, clear skin with no down time.

This treatment uses fractional bi-polar radio frequency to penetrate through the skin allowing more energy beneath the surface of the skin, in order to maximize collagen production, improving wrinkles, tone, texture, and minimizing the appearance of scars for all skin tones and all skin types. Sublative Rejuvenation is the "all-natural" approach to enhancing your youthfulness. Unlike other non-aggressive cosmetic treatments such as Botox, fillers, or chemical peels, Sublative Rejuvenation works from the inside out by stimulating cell regrowth. The results from Sublative Rejuvenation last longer and can be further enhanced with yearly maintenance treatments.

In typical Body Beautiful fashion we want you to look great without breaking the bank so until the end of July we are offering the eMatrix treatment for just $249 per treatment per area (face, neck, or decollate)! So hurry and schedule your consultation now!

You CAN Love the Sun (if you just do this)

We love the sun. Everyone enjoys a day at the beach or lounging by the pool but with all the new technology and research today we are becoming more and more aware of the effects sun exposure has on us. To protect our skin and our health we need to educate ourselves on the dangers of sun exposure and the protective measures we should take.

Sun Exposure 101
The sun emits various forms of energy such as ultraviolet light, visible light, and radio waves. Thank fully, most of these forms of energy are filtered out by our earth’s atmosphere but the few who make their way in, can still have harmful effects. Ultraviolet (UV) light is a major contributing factor to skin aging. Whether through natural sunshine or artificial tanning beds, research shows that exposure to UV light has a cumulative effect that can increase wrinkles, compromise the immune system, and increase your risk for cancer. The two UV wavelengths that do permeate our atmosphere are:

UVB rays which are shorter, more powerful rays that affect the epidermis (outer layer of skin) and are responsible for the sunburns we feel when our skin is unprotected. UVB rays can affect our immune systems and cause the most deadly form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma.

UVA rays, though longer than and not as powerful as UVB rays, are believed to penetrate more deeply into the skin, causing damage to collagen and cells that are in the dermis. UVA rays are more prevalent in tanning beds and can cause skin tanning, age spots, and wrinkling of the skin.

Sun Protection
Sun Protection Factor or SPF, came about in the 70’s as a rating system referring to the amount of protection a sunscreen provides from the UVB rays that cause sunburn. For example, if you would normally burn in the sun in 10 minutes, a sunscreen with SPF 15 allows you to be in the sun 15 times longer or, in other words, for 150 minutes without being burned.

Research shows SPF only partially protects us during sun exposure. The sufficiency of protection depends on several factors, skin type, exposure time, amount applied, frequency of reapplication and the types of activities done outdoors. We must also be aware that SPF does not normally protect against UVA’s rays. It is important to monitor your time in the sun and apply enough sunscreen to have adequate protection.

• Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, applying generously to all exposed areas at least 15 to 30 minutes prior to sun exposure. Cloudy days are no exception!

• Reapply sunscreen every two hours or as needed, especially after swimming or sweating.

• Wear protective clothing, a hat that covers all of your face and neck, and sunglasses with UV protection.

• Do not use sunscreen that has expired because the ingredients can lose their effectiveness and decrease your protection.

Our skin is our largest organ and the most vulnerable. While it can be difficult to balance our need to be outdoors and the effects of UV exposure, we all have a common desire: to protect our skin and reduce aging and the negative effects of the sun. Researchers are working hard to develop a SPF that will block all harmful light but until then we must all remember to wear sunscreen and monitor our exposure to ensure healthy skin inside and out.

Body Beautiful Spa in Phoenix | Scottsdale carries quality sunscreens from Skin Script and PCA that won't clog your pores or make your skin break out the way many drugstore sunscreens do.  Call 602-522-9222 or visit www.BodyBeautifulSpa.net.

Sunburn Do’s and Don'ts

Sunscreen is always a DO but from time to time we forget to apply some before heading outside. Here are some do’s and don’ts if you find yourself a little red.

Do:

• Aloe!!! In Arizona, Aloe plants are common and a natural soothing remedy for sunburns. Refrigerate or freeze a few leaves and when you’re in need of some relief, remove the top layer of the leaf and apply to the skin.
• Soaking in a lukewarm bath with a few drops of chamomile, lavender or tea tree oil can help speed up the healing process.
• Puncture a Vitamin E capsule and squeeze the contents onto peeling skin. Vitamin E is essential to skin health, and it supports the skins natural healing process.
• Moisturize! A moisturizer will not prevent peeling, but will help relieve the irritation of dry, flaky skin.

Don’t:

• Pick or scratch peeling skin. While it may be tempting to pull the peeling areas off, this can seriously damage your skin, leading to bleeding and scarring.
• Take a hot water bath, it drains the skin of its natural oils. Warms baths of lukewarm water are milder and causes less damage to the skin.
• Forget to apply sunscreen the next time you’re out! Stay out of the sun during Peak UV Radiation times such as during mid-day 11:00am-2:00pm.

Try this (available at Body Beautiful Spa):

Skin Script Sheer Protection SPF 30

• Porphyra Umbilicalis (Red Algae) Extract A natural UVA-screening compound from sea algae to protect the skin against photoaging.

Men and the Spa

Men now make up nearly a third of all spa-goers, according to the International Spa Association. Spa Finder reported that male attendance in spas has increased nearly 900% in the last 4 years. Although men like to maintain a rough and tough demeanor they too have a desire to be confident in their appearance. Men have now broadened their interests beyond the basic massage and into mani & pedi’s, facials and even waxing! Spas everywhere are designing services and package for their male clientele only. The benefits of these services for men go beyond personal satisfaction. Where women see a day at the spa as a luxury, men now see it as a necessity; massage and facial to relief the stress from golfing in the sun etc. It becomes a tool for success in their everyday life.

Why They Need It

Men and women may have different skin types but the basic rules still apply. Cleanse, exfoliate, tone, restore and build and protect. A daily regimen based on this rules along with monthly visits to the spa for facials and even microdermabrasion sessions, is the key to healthy, clear male skin. The act of shaving is very harsh on the skin causing irritation, redness and even small cuts just waiting to be filled with the pollutants in our air. A stressful work day combined with sitting at a desk, wearing a heavy suit and even shaking various hands is the perfect combination for a sweaty, germy, stressed out body and mind. Men needed their down time too but don’t always have the time.

The Perfect Antidote

Men may not find all that a spa has to offer their cup of tea but there are a few services and products that can be a great ally in quest for a healthy, confident body inside and out. A package of services is the best way to go, all services you need at once, for one price.

1.Facial- a deep clean nourished and refreshed face and neck. Opt for the Microdermabrasion every once in a while for an intense exfoliation and complete hydration.
2.Deep Tissue Massage- for releasing the tension caught from your neck and shoulders to your lower back, from a hard day’s work. Making business deals on the golf course to sitting in meetings all day can wreak havoc on your body leaving you feeling tired and stiff.
3.Waxing- Intimidating we know but effective in removing all cave man like features for an extended period of time. Women love well groomed man and a little manscaping never hurt anyone!
4.Pedicures- for healthier, pain free feet no fluff or frills. Taking care of your feet is not typically a priority for men but that doesn’t mean they don’t need it. A regular pedicure is a great preventative measure for ingrown toenails, calluses and fungal infections.

The Bottom Line

No more judgments or assumptions. The spa is a gender neutral place of relaxation and renewal. Still a little skeptical men? Take the lady in your life with you, a win-win situation for you. She’ll be happy you have a romantic side and you will leave asking yourself “why didn’t I do this sooner”! Trust us it’s worth it!

Fountain of Youth

Spa originates from the Latin word spargere, meaning to pour forth, scatter or sprinkle. Native Americans, Persians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all believed in the curative powers of mineral waters. Their bathing rituals or ceremonies performed in a particular spring, well, or rivers were thought to evoke physical and spiritual purification.

While modern day spas have significantly evolved since pre-historic times, at Body Beautiful Spa, we’ve always believed in “Salus Per Aquam,” Latin for “health through water.” It should be no surprise that we are drawn to water’s nurturing effervescence in our desire to bathe, swim, soak and heal. Every living cell in our body is made up of water and surrounded by water. Every one of our body's tissues and organs, as well as our body's daily sustaining process, such as thinking, nerve function, blood circulation, digestion, and elimination, requires water in order to function properly. Skin is intricately tied to the overall health of your body. When your body is properly hydrated, you'll look better and feel better.

Dehydration leads to so many unpleasantries in your body from dry skin to over worked kidneys possibly leading to kidney stones and even urinary tract infections. A great way to monitor you hydration is to look at your urine. If it isn’t clear, you’re not drinking enough water! Exercise is a compliment to water hydration. During exercise the body sweats and the water your rehydrate with penetrates deep through the skin, tissues and into the bloodstream. Here the water’s healing benefits are in action eliminating toxins and stress, leaving your body clean inside and out. Dehydrated skin can also lead to signs of premature aging eventually leading to wrinkles, and if it’s not treated properly, it has the potential of causing some health conditions internally as well as externally. Remember, 6-8 eight ounce glasses of water a day but for those who workout or spend a good amount of time outside need to increase that amount. Increased water output requires increased water input.

Here in Arizona the environmental effects of our dry heat can be very damaging to our skin. Proper skin care is essential. A quality anti-aging serum, a dehydration mask, as well as an enriching moisturizer in your skincare regimen, in addition to regular moisturizing facials and body wraps, can make all the difference.

Your Skin Care Secret Weapon, Continued

Sometimes just using a soap to cleanse skin is not enough to remove all the excess oil and dead skin cells – that’s where body scrubs can be extremely useful. Using a scrub can help clean skin’s surface and unclog pores which helps with cell turnover.

Body scrubs are essentially exfoliants that also rehydrate your next layer of skin, leaving it smooth, velvety soft, and providing you with a radiant glow. Especially useful when end-of-summer tans begin to fade or mid-summer sunburns begin to peel, the body scrub is also a natural remedy that scratches the itch for those with sensitive skin. By using some sort of whole-body exfoliation weekly, you will see a huge difference in the way your skin looks and feels.

Body Beautiful Pure Fiji Sugar Scrub

A sugar scrub, such as our Pure Fiji Sugar Scrub with fresh sugar cane crystals, contains naturally occurring alpha hydroxyl to gently buff away aging skin cells, polish your skin clean and unclog pores- leaving it glowingly healthy. Since a sugar scrub is all natural, there are no harsh side effects – this means you can use a sugar based scrub no matter if you have oily, dry, combination or mature skin.

Herbal Salt Scrub at Body Beautiful Spa in Phoenix

An alternative to sugar scubs are salt scrubs, such as the Herbal Salt Scrub. While the differences between the salt and sugar scrubs are few, the most significant difference is that sugar scrubs usually dissolve quicker than salt scrubs do. This makes them less abrasive than salt scrubs. In addition, sugar scrubs leave your skin tasting as good as it looks and feels!

Your Skin Care Secret Weapon!

One of skin care's best secret weapons is exfoliation. While many people know what exfoliation is on a basic level, or that it is something they “should” be doing, to many of them don't. Men often believe skin care treatments are for women only, and women often put it off as too time consuming to fit into their already too-busy schedule. This is too bad too since exfoliation can help lead them to having the smooth, clear, healthy skin they're looking for.

Your skin continuously undergoes a natural renewal process. When we are young, it takes approximately 25 – 28 days for our skin to completely renew itself. As we age, this renewal process slows down. The key to younger looking skin is to keep that renewal process in motion. This is where exfoliation comes in! Exfoliation oxygenates, brightens and refines the skin by revving up the skin’s metabolism, sloughing off excess dead skin, and ultimately helping to maintain cell turnover as you age.

Many people develop dull, lifeless looking skin because their stratum corneum (top-most layer consisting of dead cells) becomes too thick. Men and women should exfoliate once a week to remove the dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin. Accumulated dead skin cells make your face look bumpy, coarse, and even extremely dry. They also clog pores, trapping dirt and oils that become blackheads, pimples, and other facial blemishes.

Microdermabrasion

Exfoliation can be performed chemically or mechanically. Microdermabrasion, dermaplaning and salt scrubs are forms of mechanical exfoliation. Chemical peels, and quality home care products, such as Skin Scripts Glycolic and Retinol Pads with Kojic and Arbutin (available at Body Beautiful Spa in Phoenix) exfoliate chemically. Both chemical and mechanical exfoliation remove the top-most layer of skin, in order to remove all the fine hairs and dead skin cells and are excellent treatments for freshening and revitalizing skin.

Many don't think to do so, but did you know that you can and should exfoliate your scalp? It cleanses product build up away, relieves itchiness and flakes, and helps with dry skin. In order to exfoliate the scalp you can create a mixture of 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of conditioner, and 1 table spoon of olive oil. Mix that together then apply in sections to your wet scalp and massage well with your finger tips. Follow with shampoo and conditioner! Mmmm, didn't that feel good?

At Body Beautiful Spa we offer Bronzing & Salt Scrubs that will give you that extra glow you want to look your best. Achieve luxurious golden glowing skin with applied color and buffing.

HCG DIET!
Medical Weight Management.
Our professional staff will consider all the factors of your health into consideration before starting your plan. Schedule an appointment with us today for a consultation.

HCG works directly with the Hypothalamus gland. This gland controls body fat and helps to develop the reproductive organs during puberty. hCG stands for Human Choriogonadotropin, the hormone produced by pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. Research suggests a small, daily hCG injection or taken orally (approx. 125 IU to 200 IU) results in a weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs per day, when accompanied by a very low calorie diet of approximately 500 calories.

Under the influence of HCG, fat is being extracted from the cells, where it is stored in the fatty tissue. When these cells are emptied and serve no other purpose, the body breaks down the cellular structure and absorbs it. When this happens the body replaces some of the extracted fat with water which is retained. Because water is heavier than fat, the weight scale may show no loss of weight even though fat has actually been consumed to make up for the deficit in the 500- calorie diet. When such tissue is finally broken down and the water is liberated through urination. This is the reason for the appearance of no weight loss on the scale while following the instructions of the diet.

After the fourth or fifth day of dieting the daily loss of weight begins to decrease to less than a pound or somewhat less per day, and there is a smaller urinary output. Men often continue to lose regularly at that rate, but women are more irregular in spite of faultless dieting. There may be no drop at all for two or three days and then a sudden loss which will re-establish the normal average. These fluctuations are entirely due to variations in the elimination of water.

Try our new Kenalog Acne Injections. Though there are many treatments, medications, beauty products, and home remedies that help to get rid of acne, these are long time procedures and can't solve the problem immediately. To solve this problem, there is an injection called Kenalog to treat acne immediately.

The injection into acne pimples or scars helps repress the activity in the body which causes the infection, redness and swelling. Kenalog can be injected on a monthly basis.

Feel better, and look better!

A good start to your day.

Go out, take a walk or a run for that matter. Get some fresh air, and enjoy the morning you have been blessed with. Another great solution to a good mood would be to eat some fruit before you go to work or start your daily activities. You will feel more satisfied with yourself knowing you are making healthy decisions. Enjoy your body, and everything around it. Make better choices for yourself to live a long and prosperous life. Help yourself to stay positive, with a clearer view of the day ahead of you. Wash your face with a cleansing moisturizer, to make your face feel renewed. It will not only make you feel better, but your skin will appreciate it as well. Love yourself, and all the advanced products that are out there to specifically help you.



One of my favorite things to do in the mornings, is to listen to some relaxing music while i'm busy making breakfast. Have your kids wake up to some memorable tunes, and enjoy your family meal like they're your last. Nothing beats the feeling of being loved and being surrounded by the ones you have dearest.



Fact: Having a positive sight on everything around you, will help you stay positive with yourself.

a few tips..

• To reduce stress; you should pamper yourself daily if necessary. Relax, and try taking deep breaths for about 2-5 minutes daily. This will give you the time to slow down and continue the day you have in store.
  
  
• Another good thing to remember is to watch out with raising your eyebrows too often, it can easily lead to permanent wrinkles on your forehead. Take the time to ease up on your face. Once the wrinkles are visible they have a hard time with "disappearing" again. Take care of yourself, and be careful with your facial expressions.
  
  
• Help soothe your soul by rethinking your attitude. Optimists lives a longer and happier life. Your attitude determines how you see life. Live with no regreats. You can't do anything to change the past, but you can be open to new opportunities that will be handed to you in life.
  
  
• Working out brings you self-satisfaction. when you are working out, all you hear is your own breahting. All your stress and worries disappears. Not just while you're working out, but it last for hours after as well. You feel accomplished with yourself after your exercise. A sonsistent personal fitness program can be the same as a supportive life partner. Start out slowly and prepare to build a foundation. If you focus on the self-satisfaction you feel when you've completed your work-out, you can use it as your motivation to stay fit.
  

Healthy Choices.

Now is the time to add fresh citrus to your water think of more than just lemons, add grapefruits and orange to your drinks, take advantage of the season.

Blemish free skin!

• Clean, blemish-free skin improves more than just your beauty, it gives you a boost of confidence too. Stress, hormones, your body's chemistry and diet play a big part in your skin breakouts. Your skin's status is also dependent on your nationality and age. Quality skin care products that contain strong enough ingredients are important. Vitamin C, E, A , beta green tea, aloe, salacyid acid, and benzoid perioxide are some to name a few.


• Our skin is exposed to dust, dirt, makeup and sweat. When possible try to wash your face after exposure to dust and pollution. It is very important to cleanse before going to bed t allow the skin to breathe and rejuvenate. Sleeping with make-up on will increase the probability of pores becoming blocked and buildups in the pores causing blackheads. Get at least 7 hours of sleep.
  
• Dieting can be helpful in achieving a fresh complexion. By cleansing your body with clean foods such as fresh, raw vegetables and fruits with plenty of water can help overall detox the body. Try to stay away from fatty foods and processed foods. Get tested to see if you are possibly having an allergic reaction to foods that cause slight reactions, like integestion or bloating, etc. Many times people are intolerant to wheat or dairy products. They may be causing more of a reaction than you are aware of.
  
• Fact: Keeping fit and maintaining your exercise plan can contribute to a new and more healthy you. After your work out, cleanse the face and body to wash away any excess oils and bacteria from outside sources, especially shared gym equipment.

Take care of your body and it will take care of you.

February is the month of love.

Even if it is the month of love, there's still time for health and beauty. Go to the gym with your loved one, or do a quick exercise at home. Here's a few tips on how to stay fit.

- Getting too little sleep creates a "sleep debt", which is much like being overdrawn at a bank.

- You should feel well rested upon awaking.

- A sleep deficit can lead to a decrease in immune system function, impairment of memory a decreased physical memory.


4) POSITIVE MINDSET.
A positive attitude has been proven to enhance the immune system which helps prevent and fights off diseases. A positive mindset will help you handle stress. Because of this strong connection between the health of the mind and the health of the body it is important to stabilize your emotions.

- Seek out circumstances that make you feel positive.

- Avoid situations that cause you distress.

- Use stress reduction techniques to address the stresses that you can't control.

- When thinking a negative though, stop yourself and think of a way you can turn it into positive.

There are many ways to "detox" the body. Typically, dry brush exfoliation can be a regular routine before your morning shower which creates lymphatic stimulation and helps blood circulation. Another way to assist with detoxification is to increase water consumption and include more fiber in your diet by adding whole grains, beans, legumes, high fiber snacks including apples, nuts and seeds.
