Sun Spots? Age Spots? If You’re seeing Spots, This Post is for You!

Hey Y’all,

Summer’s long over and, with it, so went sun-tanning. Even though most of my friends have given up dedicated sun baking and using oil to get that golden brown glow, there’s no way to avoid the sun altogether.

We might be smart about the UVA and UVB rays now, but past sun sins can come back to haunt us. Years of unprotected sun exposure cause brown spots, those unattractive brown blotches of varying shades and sizes.

Today dermatologists are saying that those spots are cropping up on younger patients. “Brown spots used to be something old people got, …

Rachael Ray on “Cutting Edge Laser Treatments for Skin”

Rachael Ray on “Cutting Edge Laser Treatments for Skin”

Hi Y’all,

I’m so excited that more and more shows are talking about lasers and the amazing ways they can turn back your skin’s aging process and also remove unwanted hair. Just another reason to never be afraid of lasers!

Today on Rachael Ray, Rachael dedicated two segments to what she called “Cutting Edge Laser Treatments for Skin.” Rachael had audience members get treatments (live in studio) to remove facial wrinkles, crow’s feet and spider veins. Judging by Ray’s enthusiastic attitude I’d be willing to bet she’s been visiting a laser technician… Although she didn’t admit anything.

The show showed …

Sarah Palin PLUS Laser Facial MINUS Crazy Views EQUALS: Big Improvement!

Sarah Palin PLUS Laser Facial MINUS Crazy Views EQUALS: Big Improvement!

Hi Y’all,

I was looking at new pics of Sarah Palin. They were recently leaked as photos Palin turned down as choices for the cover of her new book, Going Rogue. And, no, I won’t be reading the book because I’ve already heard enough of her. (Yay! Guns and moose huntin’! Boo! Civil rights!)

But one thing struck me about the images of this 44 year-old politician. Man, she could really use a laser facial! (Read about my experiences with laser facials and microdermabrasion here in this blog).  Now, I don’t want to poop all over this woman (see, …

Tina Fey Confesses: Laser Facials Can Save Your Skin!

Hey Y’all

Hope you’re enjoying the crisp fall weather! What better time to curl up with a stack of magazines and drink one of those new Starbucks Via instant coffees. Have y’all tried them? I like instant coffee anyway, so you could say it’s no big surprise that I like Via, but this is some serious instant coffee. Anyway, enough with the free plugs for Starbucks…

Let’s get back to my stack of magazines. I love seeing all the retouched pictures of celebrities and reading the pathetically phony denials of plastic surgery. So I was pleasantly surprised when I got …

More on My Experiences with Laser Facials and Microdermabraision!

Hey Y’all,

I’m back from my long weekend in Miami… Ahhhh… Reee-laxation! I seriously suggest ya’ll do some price-watching and pounce on any cheap seats to Florida. Spending quality pool time is just what everyone needs before the winter. And a stroll in South Beach to check out the chic boutique hotels also helps boost pre-fall morale!

So, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror this morning — who am I kidding, I was doing a full body examination! — and I have to say my skin is looking better than ever and I owe it to my …

A Laser Facial? Hmm . . . I’ll Have to Think About It . . .

A Laser Facial? Hmm . . . I’ll Have to Think About It . . .

Hi Y’all,

I’ve blogged about my love of (and possible addiction to) laser hair removal and mocked those who who are still too scared to try it (you know who you are!).  This post isn’t about hair removal though, it’s about laser facials (a more effective version of the photofacial).

A few months ago, when I went in for my last hair removal treatment on my legs, my laser specialist Liz B. asked if I wanted to try a laser facial. “Um… Maybe next time. I mean, sure. I think…” That was my not-so-subtle answer.

The truth is that I have …

Smooth and Vibrant Skin with a Laser Facial

The Laser Facial at Assara Laser stimulates collagen growth within your skin and on your face and neck giving you a natural, refreshed vibrant appearance. Wrinkles around your eyes, also known as crow’s feet, develop over years of contracting the muscles when we display emotion; a smile, a laugh, a squint, surprise, excitement, the list is infinite.

Although, you can be thankful you’ve lived such a rich life, these fine lines are stubborn to treat. If you’ve been disappointed by peels, injectable fillers, or IPL treatments then the Laser Facial may be your answer.

Laser facials are primarily for tightening …
