It was October 16, 2015, in Celina when Holly Potts introduced us all to cryotherapy. Fast forward ten years, and C3 Aesthetics & Wellness is still thriving, providing the people of Celina and the surrounding areas with an abundance of services. Like the name implies, C3 Aesthetics & Wellness has evolved to include aesthetics, med spa treatments, and of course, recovery.
Originally known as Collin County Cryo, Holly Potts and her husband Bill realized that as their business grew and their services expanded, their name should reflect those changes. Thus, five years ago, they rebranded to what we now know as C3 Aesthetics & Wellness. Holly says, “The name reflected more of our new focus. We felt like the old name limited us where customers thought we only did cryotherapy.” In fact, C3 has always offered various aesthetic treatments. “Now the name directs its focus on all of our services— beauty, wellness, and recovery,” Holly continues.
C3 Aesthetics & Wellness offers a variety of choices in a relaxing atmosphere with medical-grade cosmetic non-surgical procedures. These treatments pamper and deliver long-lasting results improving your skin, body, and overall appearance. Holly notes that aesthetics is the most common service, the med spa being the most popular. This includes botox and fillers, LED light therapy, and facials. C3 also provides radio frequency microneedling, traditional microneedling, dermatology peels, dermaplaning and waxing.
The Diamond Glow hydro facial is a favorite treatment using a diamond-tip exfoliation to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin. This facial addresses many skin concerns and is suitable for all skin types.
The light therapy, infrared celluma LED, stimulates your cells activating the collagen in skin reducing fine line and wrinkles. Celluma LED light is also an excellent method of reducing and fighting acne as well as inflammation due to arthritis or other autoimmune issues.
Holly maintains that microneedling is the “fountain of youth for the skin” encouraging collagen and elastin production. It is known as collagen induction therapy, but is minimally invasive giving a more vibrant skin. It assists with fine lines creating bouncy, healthier skin. Don’t let the name fool you, it is not painful while some people find it relaxing enough to fall asleep. The effects of microneedling does takes time, thus you should conduct several sessions to see benefits.
Like microneedling, the C02 Laser also has a curious name. C02 Laser, according to Holly, “in a way vaporizes the skin” to get rid of cellular turnover, and banish old skin. Holly states, “We use a conservative approach to do a ‘cool peel’ that also increases collagen, decreases appearance of scars, and improves overall texture. It will take off damaged skin, like sun damage, and repairs pigment.” One of the advantages of C02 Laser is that it is good for all pigments and skin types.
Body sculpting is also available at C3 Aesthetics & Wellness. Using HIEMT, High-Intensity Electromagnetic Muscle Training, muscles are stimulated making them contract promoting fat reduction and toning. It can also reduce lower back pain. Like other treatments, body sculpting requires several sessions to see results and have maximum success.
Finally, recovery is a primary service of C3 Aesthetics & Wellness including cryotherapy, cold therapy. Holly states, “Cryo helps so many people improve their quality of life.” From those suffering from arthritis, or healing from an injury, or just general soreness, cryo and its extreme cold temperature has so many therapeutic benefits. “It makes people feel better, so we keep it. With consistent usage, cryotherapy is a game-changer,” Holly continues.
Other wellness therapies available a C3 includes NormaTec, Celluma LED light, and IV therapy. NormaTec compression therapy is perfect for athletes to improve circulation and reduce muscle soreness by using compressed air to massage targeted parts of the body. Celluma LED light is not just beauty, it also can decrease inflammation. Lastly, IV therapy is known to boost hydration, and can be used to treat those that suffer from migraines. The “Beauty” IV drip addresses skin pigmentation such as dark spots, uneven skin tone, and promotes overall health and radiance.
As mentioned, C3 Aesthetics & Wellness is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month. The celebration is on October 16th and will be held at Two 29 On the Square in Downtown Celina. The event is open to the public complete with giveaways and raffles to benefit Helping Hands of Celina.
Holly expresses, “I feel so blessed to have our loyal relationships that we have had from the beginning and are still with us 10 years later.” She continues, “As Celina has grown, so has our business. But just like the town, we have kept the same feel and personal touch for our old and now, new clients.” It is what she maintains that makes the Celina community so great. “The people are loyal and support each other. The people who grew up here still love it, and the families that have just moved here are so excited to be a part of this special community.” Holly believes it is “Bobcat Pride”, the overwhelming pride and love for the area. Holly returns that sentiment via C3 Aesthetics & Wellness, helping the community she loves -- something she hopes to continue to do for more years to come.
