Follow These Beauty Tips to Stay Looking Young and Glamorous

If you're like me, there just isn't enough time in the day to spend making sure that your skin looks smooth and healthy and your eyes look charming and well-groomed. In fact, I put off shaving so long sometimes that I am forced to wear long pants everyday in the 110 degree Austin heat to hide my furry legs. But, I have discovered a solution that will keep my legs hairless, my skin young, and my eyes dazzling with little effort or time spent on my part. 

After one consultation at a boutique med spa, you can begin solving the hair hassle with laser hair removal, fixing any saggy skin with laser skin rejuvenation and on top of that you can leave the spa with great eyelash extensions! I know when I first heard of laser hair removal, I was a little frightened by the idea of lasers zapping my legs and skeptical as to the effectiveness of the procedure, but the local Austin med spa I found, Posh Laser and Lash, was quite pleasant and delivers remarkable results. Below, I will go into more detail about each of the three procedures and what you should know before signing up.

Laser Hair Romoval:

When discussing your laser hair removal options, be sure to ask about what laser is used during the procedure. I would recommend Candela's Gentle YAG laser – it is commonly used for hair removal and has a high success rate for all skin types. Many people worry about the safety of the hair removal process. The treatment should be completely safe as long as you have certified professionals working with you. The hair removal treatment should be done by experienced certified laser professionals with a medical physician overseeing the treatment to guarantee your safety throughout the treatment.

The most common concerns about laser hair removal are: "Is it effective?" and "How long will it last?"

The main determinant in the effectiveness of the procedure is hair color. Dark hair typically sees the best results because the darker coloring at the base of the follicles attracts the laser light. However, this does not mean that lighter hair will not work.

Laser hair removal usually requires between six and eight treatments, typically scheduled about six weeks apart (this time period varies depending on the area being treated). During this treatment time you should rarely have to shave. If you stop in the middle of the treatment series, some hair will return a few months later, but it will be much finer and lighter.

Skin Tightening:

Skin tightening is a simple process to smooth out wrinkles and reduce scarring and stretch marks. It is considered the less invasive alternative to face lifts and other skin surgeries. It will make you skin look much younger and firmer in just 4 to 6 sessions! The same Candela GentleYAG laser is commonly used in Skin Rejuvenation and Skin Tightening treatments. To tighten your skin, the laser heats the underlying layers and forms new collagen. A cooling system is utilized during the treatment to protect your skin and ease any discomfort. The nice thing about skin tightening is that it works on all skin types and skin tones and can be used on any part of the body that needs it.

Eyelash Extensions:

If you've dreamed of having long, beautiful lashes, then you should consider getting eyelash extensions. You can choose to have a few extra long lashes to add a little flirtatiousness, or you can go with a full glamorous set of long lashes. If you go with a full set of eyelash extensions it can take up to 2 hours. Each synthetic lash is tapered and curled to imitate a natural lash and is then carefully attached one at a time to your lashes. The end result is phenomenal! It's amazing how much eyelash extensions can really bring out the natural beauty in your eyes, without needing to apply any extra eye makeup!
