Acne Treatment

What Causes Acne?

According to mayoclinic.org, Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up. Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems.

What are the types of Acne?

  • Papules are small, red, raised bumps caused by inflamed or infected hair follicles.
  • Pustules are small red pimples that have pus at their tips.
  • Nodules are solid, often painful lumps beneath the surface of your skin.
  • Cysts are large lumps found beneath your skin that contain pus and are usually painful.

What are Acne Symptoms?

Acne signs vary depending on the severity of your condition:

  • Whiteheads (closed plugged pores)
  • Blackheads (open plugged pores)
  • Small red, tender bumps (papules)
  • Pimples (pustules), which are papules with pus at their tips
  • Large, solid, painful lumps under the skin (nodules)
  • Painful, pus-filled lumps under the skin (cystic lesions)

Acne usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders.

Why Eyebrows are The Most Important Feature on Your Face?

Eyebrows are a person’s most important facial feature since they allow you to communicate emotions, add flair to your appearance, and even influence the form of your face. However, all other people, except for a small group of fortunate individuals, only need to have their eyebrows groomed once a month or once a week.

Over time, eyebrows have evolved into a crucial component of boosting one’s beauty, therefore, maintaining a pleasing look requires regular trimming, shaping, and filling. Today, we’ll learn how having well-groomed eyebrows can improve one’s appearance.

6 Reasons Why Eyebrows are Important to Your Face

Eyes that are small, far apart, or hooded can all be concealed by properly groomed eyebrows. The appropriate eyebrow shape can lengthen and add dimension to the eyes while disguising defects as if they never were. Eyes are drawn to clean, well-groomed eyebrows because they not only seem excellent but also are agreeable to the eye. Here are the reasons why eyebrows matter:


Balances the face

While no human face is exactly symmetrical, most people strive for one. Unbalanced brows can alter the balance of your face, making one eye appear larger than the other or completely altering the way you look. The human eye is drawn to well-groomed brows that are more symmetrical in nature.

Sets your look

The ideal brow shape can accentuate and enhance the eyes. Incorrect brows can give you a fatigued, irritated, or old appearance. There is no one “correct” eyebrow form, though. By assessing the form of your face and eyes, choose the ideal brow shape for you. Your eyebrows’ thickness and form may also be influenced by current brow trends.

Makes you appear youthful

An anti-aging secret that is less well-known is having well-maintained eyebrows. No amount of makeup can cover up poor brows because they are one of the first things people see when they glance at you. Your face can be lifted by having correctly groomed brows, which also makes your eyes look younger and more open.

Lessens the flaws

Eyebrows have the ability to totally alter the appearance of the face by minimizing minor faults like small or widely spaced eyes. Your face can be made longer and more defined with the proper brow shape. Additionally, it might direct attention to the top of the face in order to hide flaws on the bottom.

Gives you a better facial shape

While you cannot change the contour of your face, you can alter the appearance of your face by changing the shape of your eyebrows. A flat eyebrow form, for instance, tends to shorten the face contour. In order to provide the appearance of a shorter, more balanced face, ladies with longer faces may opt for flat brows.

What is RF Cautery?

RF Cautery is a safe, non-invasive treatment that permanently removes unsightly skin growths from your face and body in just one session! This treatment involves a cauterization machine that has been successfully used for over 30 years by skin care professionals delivering superior results. RF Cautery effectively treats a wide range of minor and superficial skin irregularities such as skin tags, telangiectasias (small dilated blood vessels near skin surface, common on the face and around nose, cheeks, and chin), keratosis, cherry angiomas, fibromas, warts, and flat age spots.  Treatment recommendation depends on area treated and skin condition. CryoSkin also available.

How RF Cautery Works?

The technique of radiosurgery includes the progression of high-frequency radio waves(2mhz-Megahertz) through soft tissue to cut, solidify, or remove unwanted skin growth.

The skincare professional or surgeon operates with a handpiece with an active electrode to transmit the radio waves. The radio waves will be placed on the tissue by an antenna plate that is positioned behind the tissue in contact with the patient’s skin.

The soft tissues will induce resistance to these radio waves causing the cellular water in it to heat and produce steam. This process will then end up dissolving the cellular molecular of individual tissue cells. 

Radio wave technology treats many types of skin lesions like:

  • Age spots
  • Moles and raised lesions
  • Skin tags
  • Warts (verruca)
  • Sun-damaged skin

Post-treatment care

After treatment, you may go on with your everyday activities. Your Aesthetician will continue to survey you with follow-up consultations. The said therapy normally only needs one treatment. However, some lesions may require more than one treatment session, likely finishing within five treatments. There are the things to remember after your treatment:

  1. There will be pain and a little discomfort which will soon get better. Some patients may regard the necessity to take a pain reliever. You can check it with your dermatologist before taking any medication.
  2. Prevent yourself from touching the spot as far as possible.
  3. Avoid exposure to late sunlight, and persist from going to dusty surroundings for at least a week. 
  4. The scab left after the treatment will eventually fall off, it is recommended to keep it dry for 2-3 days post-surgery.

Dermaplaning

Some people have excessive facial hair and other skin disorders, but they don’t know how to deal with them. We have a remedy for some of your most stubborn skin concerns at Natalie’s Skin Solutions in Florida, and it’s one of the most basic skincare treatments accessible. We provide Dermaplaning Treatment, which is a manual exfoliation that will smooth and soften skin texture and look by removing the outer layers of dead skin cells, vellus hair (peach fuzz), and surface debris, allowing for 60% more product absorption.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a type of physical exfoliation that uses just one tool: a medical-grade scalpel. It efficiently eliminates the top layer of skin, revealing a brighter, more youthful layer beneath. In doing so, it addresses a variety of skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, fine wrinkles, and big pores.

How is Dermaplaning Treatment Performed?

Your aesthetician in Natalie’s Skin Solutions will begin the treatment by cleansing your face to prepare it for exfoliation. Then, before initiating the procedure, she will apply a solution to your skin that will open the pores. She will scrape your skin at a 45° angle with a surgical steel medical-grade knife. The angle is critical because it avoids cutting your skin and effectively removes all of the dead skin.

To avoid any injury, she’ll pull the skin taut while she moves the scalpel back and forth across the surface. Additionally to the peach fuzz, you will be able to see all of the dead skin that comes off of your face.

Dermaplaning may be coupled with peels or microdermabrasion to provide an incredible exfoliation treatment, or it can be performed independently. Customized dermaplaning treatments are advised every four to six weeks to maximize the efficiency of your home product regimen and to ensure long-lasting effects.

How does it removes dead skin?

Many clients like seeing what has been removed from their faces since it is such a rewarding feeling to see real evidence of your exfoliation. This treatment encourages the growth of new skin cells, rejuvenates the skin, and aids in the appearance and feel of youthful skin. Following the treatment, your aesthetician will apply a soothing serum or mask to assist in calming the skin and reestablishing pH balance.

What are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

This treatment has endless benefits. 

  • It rejuvenates skin
  • Removes Peach Fuzz
  • Cleaner and smaller pores
  • Minimize the apperance of fine lines and wringkles
  • and more. 

It Helps Resolve Skin Issues

This treatment not only rejuvenates the appearance of your face, but also helps to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, by lowering the overall quantity of dirt and oil in your pores, it might make them appear smaller. It aids in the treatment of hyperpigmentation and general skin health.

Your Skincare Products Will Be More Effectively Absorbent

Not only will your goods apply more smoothly, but they will also perform more effectively. After this treatment, you will effectively have a new layer of skin, with no dead skin cells acting as a barrier between your skin and your goods. To maximize their results, many patients combine dermaplaning with additional in-office procedures such as chemical peels.

Your Makeup Will Look Better

Makeup and dead skin cells do not mix nicely. Applying foundation and other cosmetic items might be difficult when your skin is in need of exfoliation. Because this treatment eliminates both dead skin cells and hair, your foundation will apply more easily and your face will seem more airbrushed.

It’s Non-Invasive

No numbing cream is required prior to this procedure. No incisions or harsh chemicals are utilized, and the only scalpel is the medical-grade therapy instrument that passes back and forth over your skin. There are no post-operative needs, and you will not be required to miss public appearances owing to a red or irritated face.

All Skin Types Can Undergo Treatment

This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones. Even people with highly sensitive skin or rosacea can arrange a session and reap the advantages.

It’s a Natural Treatment

This treatment doesn’t use any ingredients that will irritate your skin. It also is one of the simplest yet most effective forms of hair removal. If you have ever undergone a waxing, laser, or threading appointment in an attempt to remove facial hair from your skin, you may have dealt with irritation and inflammation afterward or, the treatments weren’t able to successfully remove all of your hair.

This particular treatment won’t irritate your skin, and it will remove all of the hair in the treatment area.

Dermaplaning FAQs

Is This Treatment the Same as Shaving?

Both a standard razor and the medical-grade scalpel used during this process effectively remove hair from the surface of the skin, but the scalpel is much sharper than your everyday raiser. Therefore, not only is it more effective at removing the hair on the surface of the skin, but it can give you a deeper form of physical exfoliation than a razor can.

It also is shaped in such a way that your aesthetician can effectively treat your entire face with all of its curves and angles without nicking or cutting your skin.

Will It Make My Hair Grow Back Darker?

There’s an old wive’s tale that was probably designed to scare young girls out of shaving too early that says shaving your hair makes it grow back darker. This is not the case since shaving your hair doesn’t affect your hair follicles in any way, nor does it affect the rate at which your hair grows. You can rest assured that when you use this treatment to remove hair from your face, it will not grow back thicker or darker. Only genetics determines that.

Who Is This Treatment Right For?

This treatment is ideal for anyone who wants to exfoliate their skin without risking irritation or inflammation. Most individuals, even those who are excluded from other skincare treatments, can benefit from this one. Pregnant women, individuals with extremely sensitive skin, and even those who suffer from rosacea can safely undergo this treatment.

Are There Any Aftercare Requirements?

While there is no downtime associated with this treatment but there are a few directives you can follow post-treatment to make sure you get the best results. As is true of any skincare treatment, you should wear sunscreen anytime you are in the sun. You should pay special attention to sun exposure during the first 24 hours after your appointment, but making sun safety a habit will help prevent premature aging and make your skin stay youthful for much longer.

You should also keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and keep it moisturized after your treatment to experience the best results.

Can I Dermaplane at Home?

The medical-grade surgical steel scalpel used during this treatment is very sharp. Your aesthetician is trained and skilled on how to maneuver and effectively use this tool. Attempting this treatment at home with a medical-grade scalpel could result in cuts and scarring. Many people choose to use razors to lightly exfoliate their face at home, but we do not recommend attempting a DIY dermaplaning session at home.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Each session that you schedule will build upon the results of the previous one. Most patients schedule this treatment every four weeks to keep their skin looking fresh, bright, and exfoliated. During your consultation, we will set up a treatment plan including the total number of sessions you should experience to get the best results and then maintain those results.

How Long Will My Results Last?

Results do vary among patients, but the skin-rejuvenating and brightening results that come from this treatment typically last three to four weeks, based on when your skin’s cell turnover process begins. At that time, once you notice that your skin is looking dull, you can schedule another treatment to once again exfoliate your skin and improve its overall appearance.

Taking the Next Step
Investing in your skin is one of the most important things you can do because it helps you get one step ahead of the aging process. Dermaplaning is one of the best ways to start taking care of your skin and treat certain problematic skin conditions in a non-invasive and natural way.

Microblading FAQs

What Is Microblading?

Microblading is a type of eyebrow tattoo that lasts for a short time. It is done with a small handheld tool and a feather stroke technique to make your eyebrows look fuller or to make your face look better. Microblading is a less noticeable way to get a cosmetic tattoo than some older methods. Ink is used for body tattoos, and pigments are used for cosmetic tattoos. These pigments are meant to fade slowly over time. fading is a good thing because it lets the artist make changes to the color and shape of the piece over time as the client’s natural color and facial changes happen over time.

How Long Is The Appointment?

About two hours. During your appointment, we will talk to you all the time to make sure we are on the same page. It takes a lot of time to figure out what shape and color you want your eyebrows to be. During the procedure itself, it can take 30 minutes to an hour. In about an hour, we’ll see each other again.

Is The Follow Up Appointment Included?

In order to make sure that the brows heal properly, at least two treatments are usually needed at least 6 to 10 weeks apart. When we do this first touch up, we can fix any parts that might have faded, and the client can make suggestions if they want to change how the shape or color looks.

How Long Does Microblading Last?

The treatment is only supposed to last for a short time, but it will fade over time. Touch-ups should be done every 1-2 years to keep the shape, color, and detail of your hair. How often depends on a lot of things, like:

  • Skin type (oily skin fade faster)
  • Pigment color used (lighter colors fade faster)
  • Sun exposure (over time can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment)
  • Use of daily anti-aging products e.g.- (Tretinoin (Retin-A) & Alpha Hydroxy). These products increase your cell turnover rate and will shorten the life of your cosmetic tattoo

Is it painful?

We do everything we can to make the process as easy as possible. Before the Microblading starts, a topical anesthetic is put on the area to make it less painful. During the procedure, a liquid anesthetic is used to make it less painful. Some clients may feel a little pain, but for the most part, it’s not very painful.

(PLEASE NOTE that if you are a frequent smoker, or have your appointment during your menstrual cycle, the pain level could be intensified.)

Is It Safe to Exercise After Microblading?

You must refrain from physical activity for seven days following your microblading appointment. While light exercise is permitted (with minimum perspiration), you must immediately rinse the tattooed area with lukewarm water afterward. Sweat contains salt, which rapidly fades the colour and produces unsatisfactory effects.

Who is not suitable for the procedure?

Microblading is not suitable for the following candidates:

  • Utilization of Accutane
  • Have a heart problem or are currently taking heart medication
  • Have diabetes (a physician’s note will be required)
  • Have skin conditions or irritants
  • Have received Botox within the last two weeks
  • Have you recently received a deep tan or chemical peel?
  • To lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine, or epinephrine: hypersensitivity
  • Anyone who is suffering from a serious medical condition may be required to obtain a physician’s note.
  • Microblading pregnant or nursing clients is at your discretion. We recommend first consulting with your physician. Microblading is still considered a tattoo, and just as with wine or sushi consumption, doing so during this time period is a personal choice.

When you combine the thrill of an adventure with the bonding experience of fishing with the satisfaction of catching some nice fish, you have the ideal way to spend Valentine’s Day. Instead of buying flowers or chocolates, go prepare your fishing equipment!

Check out a few additional reasons why fishing is a great Valentine’s Day date, as well as some extra tips on how to make it even more romantic.

1. Fishing is a fun and inexpensive way to spend time with your partner. While on one of Hate2Lose chartered fishing experiences, it’s a chance to unwind, spend quality time with family and friends, enjoy the fresh air, and reel in some nice fish.

2. Fishing might help rekindle or reignite a romantic relationship. In fact, half of both men and women think it’s crucial that their significant other is interested in outdoor activities, according to a survey performed by the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation.

3. You will be able to experience a breathtaking sunset over the ocean. When going on a boating or fishing trip, it’s best to leave your phones at home and spend quality time together in nature. Concentrate on soaking up all of the breathtaking sights and sounds. Make an effort to be present for one another.

4. You get to acquire new fishing abilities with your friends, which can boost your self-esteem and companionship. When it comes to rigging your baits or tying a Cleat Hitch, you can help each other out.

5. Water adventures create lifelong relationship and memories. When you share the thrill of catching a fish with your partner, you’ll make genuine Valentine’s Day memories.

6. Instead of wearing formal gear, you can spend your date in relaxed, casual outdoor attire. There is no need to be concerned about what you should dress. Furthermore, one-third of people in relationships enjoy non-traditional outdoor activities such as fishing or hiking.

7. When you have a bunch of fishing subjects to talk about and questions to ask, it’s a lot easier to strike up a conversation. It’s much more thrilling when the fish start biting.

8. You’ll both return home with new fish stories, potentially a frame-worthy shot, or, at the absolute least, a little exaggerated story of the one that got away after your fishing date.

9. Couples who fish and boat together help to protect, conserve, and restore our natural resources by purchasing fishing licenses and boat registrations.

10. If your catches are permitted, complete your fishing date by cooking a romantic fish filet dinner by candlelight with your favorite songs played as background.

BB Glow or Not to BB Glow?

BB Glow Treatment Safety 

What has gotten the most attention among specialists is the safety of both the application technique itself and the BB Glow products themselves, which are put directly to the skin after being applied. Furthermore, the BB Glow treatment has been criticized for involves micro needling into the skin in a procedure that can take up to two hours and must be done several times over time.

Microneedling, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive process that is deemed completely safe and beneficial for the vast majority of people who are in otherwise good health. The fact is, as with any type of cosmetic procedure, it is critical to select a qualified and experienced practitioner, such as Natalies Skin Solutions.

Because of the Microneedling technology, the DermaPen, which has been carefully developed, may only apply the serum to the first layer of the skin, minimizing the likelihood of significant damage to the skin. Although the BB Glow treatment is generally considered to be comfortable, some clients may notice tingling and stiffness in their skin during or for a few hours after the procedure.

BB Glow serums ingredients:

– Alcohol

– Allergens

– Benzophenone

– Fragrances

– Formaldehyde

– Parabens

– Mineral Oils

– Synthetic colouring

– No animal testing involved

Last, not least, it is important to choose a certified and experienced professional such as licensed aesthetician or dermatologist like Natalies Skin Solutions to carry out the procedure.

Before receiving BB Glow, there are a few things to consider.

However, despite the fact that the treatment is suitable for every type of skin including dry, oily, pigmented, and normal, it is crucial to remember that it is not suggested for anyone. The process is not recommended for those who have any type of skin problem, including active acne or cystic acne, eczema, psoriasis, open wounds and pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is also not suitable for people who are on hormonal medicine.

A list of contraindications for BB Glow is provided below.

When it comes to minor dangers, there is nothing to be concerned about. Immediately following the operations, it is extremely likely that you will suffer some redness, drying, swelling, bruising, or peeling skin. These could linger for a couple of days in the coming days.

However, despite the fact that the majority of probable adverse effects are minimal, there is a variety of serious short- and long-term concerns related with the treatment that may arise. Infections, pigmentation inconsistencies, changes in skin tone, and allergic reactions are all examples of short-term difficulties. Long-term problems may be related with undesirable effects on skin texture that persist over time as a result of frequent treatments or scarring.

Before Treatment BB Glow

In the event that you are unsure whether the BB Glow treatment is right for you, contact Natalies Skin Solutions at 239.936.SKIN(7546) to book an appointment to explore this treatment further. In order to get the greatest potential outcomes while also minimizing the hazards, these types of therapies are used. For example, certain types of medications, such as those used to treat acne or those used to thin the blood, may need to be discontinued before to the procedure in order to lessen the chance of negative effects.

If you are concerned about an allergic reaction, a test treatment can be performed beforehand to check how your skin reacts to the use of BB creams before the operation is performed in full. In most cases, the test is performed on the neck or underneath the hairline.

After Treatment BB Glow

The change of the skin tone and decrease of pigmentation and other skin defects should be noticeable within 10 days from the treatment.

In general, you can carry on your daily routine and go to work or school after the procedure if you feel comfortable. However, your skin will be more sensitive, therefore, it is recommended to avoid the following:

– No excessive facial cleansing for a minimum of 24 hours in order to allow the creams

to settle underneath the skin

– No skin touching for a minimum of 12 hours

– 3 days with no Retin-A products applications

– 5 days with no make-up or skin peel

– 7 days with no swimming or gym

– 14 days with no direct heat including sunbathing, sauna, or sunbed

The longer you do not use any facial products the better because the skin needs time to heal and regenerate, hence, using foundation products may prevent the skin to regenerate

as fast or with such positive outcome.
