The Red Carpet Countdown Begins in 4 (weeks)… 3… 2… 1!

Tis’ the season to be jolly indeed. We have reached the tail end of the year of 2018, where all the hard work you’ve put in culminates in a slew of celebratory events.

Company dinner and dances, Christmas parties, gift exchanges, New Year Eve parties, New Year parties… I’ll bet I’m only scrapping the surface when it comes to all the gatherings you’ll be involved in this festive month.

It is time to not only put your best foot forward, but your best face and body as well. The countdown to party preparation begins now.

Week 4: Tying Up “Loose Ends”

After close to a year of hustling and bustling, all the accumulated stress from meeting deadlines and giant pitches tend to come to a head, manifesting in the form of fine lines, wrinkles and skin laxity.

While the customary quick-fix for these symptoms of aging would have been an invasive surgical facelift two decades ago, the advent of aesthetic technology has spawned efficient, non-invasive alternatives to going under the scalpel.

Heat-driven, non-invasive procedures like Thermage and Ultherapy are the new perk-me-ups (quite literally) you need to prep your skin for party season.

Thermage employs the use of patented radiofrequency waves to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, essentially lifting, firming and tightening the skin, removing any signs of fine lines or wrinkles.

This procedure is particularly ideal for the “sinkers”; those with sharp angular features experiencing a loss in skin volume and density.

Ultherapy delivers a very precise dose of energy to affected areas of your skin via ultrasound scanning, reaching depths of your skin where surgeons reach when they perform threadlift and surgical facelifts…all without the use of a needle.

If you have a fairly full face that is going through a little bit of a sagging phase, this procedure is perfect for tightening your droopy skin over the chin and neck, lifting your jowls and contouring and refining your jawline.

Week 3: Shape Up or Shape Out

Everyone wants to usher in the Christmas and the New Year, dressed to the nines. What better way to round off the year in your best gear?

Slipping into that slinky dress could be a challenge though, if you’re lugging around a little “excess baggage”. How do you fix the bulges in all the wrong places, and stand out in the right places – with 3 weeks left to go?

Your shortcut to filling out that party dress nicely comes in the form of Onda Body Magic, a well-established and non-invasive fat-busting treatment.

Where you have experienced the “hot” treatment of Thermage and Ultherapy, the Onda Body Magic balances the books by using the patented Coolwaves technology, to leave all your fat deposits in the cold, freezing them out in a painless and non-invasive manner.

For the lucky ones that just need a little nudge to slip into that gorgeous dress, the Coolshape procedure is the perfect treatment to hone in and eradicate specific stubborn fatty areas of the body.

Much akin to Onda Body Magic, the Coolshape uses a non-invasive applicator to target and remove fat cells on problem areas, by reducing the temperature to the right coldness, breaking down the fatty deposits in those areas that once refused to budge.

Week 2: Perfection For Your Complexion

Now that you’ve got a firm body to match your firm skin, a little bit of “fine-tuning” is in order, to check another #beautygoal off the list.

Firm and supple skin deserves a finish and texture befitting of its glory. Complete the skin rejuvenation with a little bit of cleansing and exfoliation, and bring out the radiance that has been hiding behind all the aging and environmental stress.

Treat yourself to some Vitamin Therapy, a thorough cleansing and exfoliation of your skin, followed by application of carefully curated vitamins that heal cellular damage, enhance skin repair rate, and lighten discolouration of skin.

For skin subjected to more sun damage, pigmentation, and melasma, the BB Aquatouch Laser is a signature treatment that zaps all these imperfections away, while improving skin elasticity and reducing enlarged pores and fine wrinkles. Come away with complexion so smooth and luminous, it resembles a “photoshop” makeover effect!

The Final Week: The Finishing Touches

All the work put in from the earlier weeks will come to fruition, as you edge closer to the first of many parties you will be attending to usher in the festivities.

Now that you have wrinkle-free, baby smooth skin and that newfound svelte frame, it’s time to throw in a little sparkle and “star power” to complete the look.

Add that celebrity red carpet glow to your skin with the Plasma C Boost, a therapeutic skin-brightening treatment chock full of nutrient-heavy ingredients mixed with pure Vitamin C, that will even out uneven skin tones and correct dark spots, freckles and hyper-pigmentation.

For those who want that glow to last beyond the turn of the new year, the Forever Young BBL treatment is another option to explore for longer-lasting results.

A supercharged pulsed light therapy that is a grade up from the traditional IPL, this treatment partners hair removal, with skin tone rejuvenation, pore-minimizing and skin-firming.

You don’t have to wait until the new year for the new you – we’ll have you ready by Christmas!
