Only 5 days left before Christmas and 2 before Chanukah. I can’t believe how this year has just flown by. If you are like many of us you may not have finished (or even started) your holiday shopping yet. You can make it easy on yourself, thrill your loved ones and treat yourself all at the same time. (more…)
We have finished our make-over of Julie, our beautiful “Ugly Bettie” contest winner. Julie was chosen because she has beautiful features but she needed some rejuvenation of her skin and refreshing of her eyes and mouth. Age, sun and stress add years to our looks but thanks to cosmetic dermatology procedures such as Botox, fillers and lasers we can reverse many of these changes. Julie had Botox to raise her brows and smooth out her crows feet, frown and forehead wrinkles. We gave her Juvederm to enhance her lips and smooth her lip wrinkles, smile lines and marrionette lines and she received a series of IPL (photofacial) treatments to smooth her skin texture, remove her brown spots and even out her skin color. Lastly, she received a spa makeover at my day spa and salon: Euro Day Spa, Salon & Laser Center where she received a light, natural makeup application and a hair style at our salon. Here are her before and after photos. You can see her lack of wrinkles better when she is not smiling, but I couldn’t resist putting in this smiling photo, as it truly expresses how she feels about her treatments.
Julie, you look gorgeous! Look for Julie’s comments about her treatments in an upcoming blog entry. If you have any questions about how these cosmetic dermatology treatments or spa and salon treatments would work for you, please call our office at 949-363-1788 or Euro Day Spa, Salon & Laser Center at 949-831-2006.
My blog was a bit light last week because I was out of town attending a friend’s daughter’s wedding. Weddings also seem to bring a lot of patients to my office lately! Every week I seem to have several brides, mothers of brides and grooms (and even some fathers!) and other assorted relatives, friends and bridesmaids coming in for pre-wedding beautification. Botox is probably the #1 most popular pre-wedding treatment with fillers and lasers running a close second. Sclerotherapy for leg veins is also pretty popular before weddings, more so for the mothers who are not wearing gowns and whose legs are exposed.
Since patients are often unsure of when to do what, here is a simple timeline for getting ready for the big event (reunions as well!)
Botox - at least 2 weeks before so the results kick in completely, 4-6 weeks before is even better to give you time to come in for a touch-up if necessary.
Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and other fillers - at least 2 weeks before so you won’t have bruising on the big day, 4-6 weeks before is even better to give you time to come in for a touch-up if necessary.
Photo-Facials, SmoothBeam, Fraxel and other lasers - most of these take several treatments, usually done monthly, so start early, perhaps 6 months before, to get the optimal results.
Laser Hair Removal - Since you will see results after only 2-3 treatments (although you need more treatments for permanent results) start at least 2 months ahead.
Microdermabrasion - 6 treatments are recommended and can be done weekly, so start at least 2 months ahead.
Skin Care - Have a series of facials once a month or every 2 weeks for 2-3 months before the big day. If you have acne, also see a dermatologist several months ahead to get on some good acne medication and possible laser treatments.
Hair Care and Makeup - Make sure you find someone you like to do a trial run on your hair and makeup prior to the big day.

This week a patient told me she was staying home for her vacation this summer (taking a “stay-cation”) so she could invest instead in herself. She decided to use her vacation budget for BOTOX and Juvederm treatments with me. She felt that this kind of “stay-cation” would make her look rested and relaxed, as if she just came back from vacation, but last for months! I suggested we call this type of stay-cation a Rejuva-cation.
