Start the Year with a Total Self-care “Skin•vest•ment”

A new year brings new goals and habits—more exercise, more H20 and more to cross off our ever-growing bucket lists. But something we should never put on the back burner? Our wellness—and more important, our well-being. Sometimes, that comes in the form of body positivity and healthy confidence in our outer appearance … like our skin. For the staff at Embody SKIN Care & Medical Spa, skin health isn’t a fad or a resolution that should fade by the end of January. And the cutting-edge medical treatments and products offered at the spa are just the first step. 

“Healthy skin is for all ages, men and women,” says Heather Buckles, Embody owner and Advanced Esthetician. “It’s always a great time to start investing in one’s skin.”

Injectables: Botox, Filler & PRP
If preventing or lessening fine lines and wrinkles on your face is tops on your list, injectables (more commonly known as Botox and filler) are popular options. Moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s-feet and forehead lines are no match for Botox, whereas the gel-like substance of fillers restores lost volume, smooths lines and softens creases in the skin. The newest addition to this lineup is PRP (platelet-rich plasma), which uses your own plasma for filler. 

Clear + Brilliant Permea Laser Treatment
This 20-minute gentle treatment uses fractional laser technology to address and prevent the early signs of aging skin. A favorite of celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Anne Hathaway, Clear + Brilliant is best for men and women who are looking to maintain their youthful appearance. The radiant glow and small pore size boasts improvement of fine lines, skin tone and texture. 

IV Infusions
Need an anti-aging or metabolism boost? Make an appointment for an IV infusion. Vitamins, medicines and fluids are administered into the bloodstream, offering healthier-looking skin, hair and nails, as well as weight loss. Additionally, the direct IV infusion allows for faster and more effective results than oral supplements. 

Dermaplane, Microdermabrasion & Chemical Peel Combo
A tried-and-true trifecta that helps you say goodbye to dry, dull skin and simultaneously reap anti-aging benefits. This 45-minute fan favorite delivers immediate and dramatic results for your face with virtually zero downtime. First, dermaplaning removes unwanted hair and provides excellent exfoliation. Second, microdermabrasion works to resurface your skin. Last is a chemical peel based on your individual skin needs. The end result? A happier and more confident you.

HydraFacial
Need a dose of intensely clean, hydrated, glowy skin? HydraFacials are best for those with clogged pores and blackheads. Cleanse, exfoliate, extract, peel, boost and hydrate … the HydraFacial does it all. Your skin will feel healthy from the inside out. 

Permanent Makeup
Need some extra time in the mornings? Permanent makeup can help with that—lip blush, lash enhancement and powder/nano brows are available. But a word of advice: do your research and communicate clearly with your artist for the look you want. Review before and after photos during your consultation and ask lots of questions. Permanent makeup is, after all, permanent.
