Many thoughts creep through the minds of those who live with double chins. Here are five truths that may just hit home:
They’re only cute on babies.
All the neck and chin lifting exercises in the world aren’t going to change the look of this chin.
For guys: Maybe facial hair could disguise the problem. Maybe not, when it doesn’t grow to a full beard.
Camera angles for pictures are tricky. Go high, please.
Mirrors are not enjoyable to look at.
We understand the struggle is real and want to help!
Put your best chin forward with Kybella, an injectable treatment for adults with chin fullness or more than a double chin. Kybella eliminates fat cells beneath the chin to help improve the ever-so-necessary side profile. Kybella treatments are administered at least 1 month apart and should not exceed six total treatments. Because no two chins are the same, treatments will be different for each person. It all comes down to the amount of submental fat (double chin) that's being treated. To start your treatment journey we recommend to schedule a free consultation with one of our highly trained team members in order to decide whether or not Kybella is right for you and how much is necessary to treat your situation. Don't wait, draw a different line today!
Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic treatment that involves exfoliating the skin for improved tone and texture. You may have a few questions about how it works, how to care for your skin post treatment, and what microdermabrasion is used for. We decided to let our licensed estheticians answer some our most frequently asked questions about microdermabrasion.
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a procedure that removes the top layers of skin. This exfoliating treatment promotes new collagen production, smooths out the skin and helps reverse signs of aging by minimizing scars and smoothing our fine lines.
What type of microdermabrasion does Shine offer?
There are two types of microdermabrasion: diamond and crystal. Crystal microdermabrasion is what is most commonly used by most skin care professionals. During crystal microdermabrasion a handheld wand delivers tiny microcrystals across the skin removing damaged or aging skin. The device uses a small vacuum that sucks up the dead skin and used crystals leaving the skin refreshed post-procedure. Diamond-tip microdermabrasion utilizes a wand with a tip made from natural or synthetic diamond chips. Shine offers two passes with crystal microdermabrasion followed by a single diamond-tip pass to finish the treatment.
How often would you recommend someone have microdermabrasion treatments?
We recommend at least a series of three treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. If a client has pigmentation, scarring or deep wrinkles, more treatments will be necessary.
Is there any downtime with microdermabrasion?
There is no downtime when receiving microdermabrasion treatments. However, we do recommend that you stop your Rentin-A or Retinol topicals five days prior to your treatment.
How should someone care for their skin after a microdermabrasion treatment?
We suggest a “core 4” product regimen that consist of an antioxidant, Retinol or Retin-A, moisturizer, and SPF of 30 or higher. This will keep the skin healthy and hydrated giving the client a better faster result.
