TheraClear Acne Treatment provided by Jayme Bashian from Simply Posh Aesthetic Spa.
This patient is a 16 year old athlete who spends a lot of time in the gym and running around. A year ago, she started to break out, thought to be from the stress of school and sweating at the gym. And when put on acne medications, they weren't doing the job. She was referred to Jayme Bashian of Simply Posh Aesthetic Spa by a dermatologist at Advanced Dermatology, PC.
The patient's mother was very comfortable after her daughter received a complimentary consultation with Jayme at Simply Posh. Jayme, an experienced Medical Aesthetician, has been in the Aesthetic industry over 12 years, and has always worked very closely with dermatologists to learn about acne. Our patient's mother wanted something that would leave her daughter with little to no downtime since her daughter has such a busy lifestyle with school and sports. Acne laser treatment with TheraClear was a great option.
"Going through high school with acne can be a nightmare. People can be very mean. It's upsetting to see kids getting picked on because of acne, so I do my very best to help clear their skin. Luckily, Theraclear has changed my clients lives for the better. Now, they have confidence that they didn't have when they first came in for a consultation. " says Jayme Bashian.
Along with her TheraClear treatment, we teach our patient proper ways of washing her face and daily routines to prevent the acne from coming back. After a patient's package is completed, the skin will continue to improve. This is because the patient is now taking care of their skin and all of the bad bacteria is finally cleared away.
We do offer touch-up treatments, which we recommend once in a while. You never want to let your clear skin go, so it's important to always have an aesthetician clean up your skin with TheraClear. The TheraClear Acne System is completely natural way to prevent future breakouts - no drugs, just light and vacuum acne treatment.
A laundry list of stars like Khloe Kardashian and Robin Wright are embracing the beauty benefits of Botox, and for good reason. But it’s important to pause for a second to make sure you trust the person with the needle in their hand.

Here you’ll find no-nonsense information on Botox that will help ease any apprehensions before making a complimentary consultation to discuss a Botox plan made specifically for you.
Ever wondered how Botox works? On the site, they give a simple explanation:
BOTOX is a powerful medicine used to treat facial expression lines and neck banding as well as down-turned smiles and drooping eyes. BOTOX works by blocking new impulses to relax the contraction of muscles. This causes winkles to relax due to the result of the muscles inability to contract, so you get wrinkles that are now relaxed and softened.
If you live in or near the Atlanta area, this website is a great source of information on Botox. Bravo, Radiance Medspa, bravo.
Prevent and Treat Crow's Feet With These 9 Tips
Learning how to prevent and treat crow’s feet is one of the top skin care concerns of women. Those little wrinkles that start to form on the outer corners of your eyes are often inevitable, but they can be treated! Some people take meticulous care of their skin and still see these laugh lines, where others barely use any sunscreen and are line-free! If you’re bothered by the sight of crow’s feet, take a look at these nine simple tips that can help you prevent and treat crow’s feet! [Source: AllWomenStalk.com]
1. Stop Squinting
Before we get into how to treat crow’s feet, let’s talk about one of the top ways we get those pesky wrinkles in the first place! According to dermatologist Dr. Neal Schultz, smiling, squinting and sleeping are the top three ways we get crow’s feet. We don’t want to cut back on smiling so we have to nip the squinting in the bud! Wear sunglasses, and if you need corrective lenses, get some prescription contacts or glasses ASAP!
2. Sleep Smart
The other culprit in crow’s feet per Dr. Schultz was sleeping. It’s not actually sleeping that can lead those little crinkles but the way we sleep. Sleeping on your back can help eliminate lines from the creases on your pillow but if you just can’t sleep on your back, Schultz recommends using a U-shaped travel pillow or using a satin pillowcase.
3. Moisturize
Another way to prevent crow’s feet is to keep up the moisture levels in your body. Do this by drinking plenty of water and using hydrating creams on your face and eye area. Our skin sometimes gets dried out from lack of water or hydration, and as a result we get fine lines and wrinkles. Drink water and use creams that contain retinoids, copper peptides and alpha hydroxy acids.
4. Peels
If you already have crow’s feet and are looking for a simple treatment to treat those bad boys, try a chemical peel. You can get this peel done at a medical spa or doctor’s office, and it removes layers of dead skin so you’re left with fresh, radiant skin. You can also try a glycolic peel, which is also effective. However, they take some recovery time so it’s something to take into consideration.
5. Grapes
Did you know that you can find grapes on the ingredient list of many anti-aging skin care products? Grapes contain antioxidants, vitamins, phytonutrients and phytochemicals. All of these elements help protect and nourish our skin so it looks its best. Try mashing a handful of green grapes and applying the juice with a cotton ball on the eyes, mouth and forehead area. Rinse it off after 5 minutes and repeat it 2-3 times weekly to help reduce fine lines!
6. Egg Whites
Another natural and easy at-home method to treat crow’s feet is to use an egg white mask. Egg whites can tighten the skin and help reduce the appearance of crow’s feet. All you need is the egg white from one egg! Apply the egg white to a clean face and leave it on for about 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. You’ll be left with tighter pores and firmer skin!
7. Take Breaks
An important tip to prevent crow’s feet is to give your eyes a break! If you sit in front of a computer all day, be sure to give your eyes hourly breaks and consider getting a screen filter to reduce glare. Also, if you use an e-reader often, make sure you watch the light conditions. Anything that can strain your eyes can cause crow’s feet so it’s important to stay on top of these things!
8. Stop Smoking
I know, you’ve heard it a million times but smoking not only robs your skin of collagen and elastin, the smoke can also cause you to squint, which is a big no-no! If you needed another reason to quit, do it for the sake of your skin! Every cigarette you smoke, you’re losing valuable collagen and elastin so as hard as it might be, it’s definitely worth it to quit!
9. Botox
The most permanent fix to treat crow’s feet is Botox. If you’ve tried eye creams, peels and other natural remedies and they’re just not doing it for you, Botox could be a good option. Dr. Neal Schultz states that Botox can be used as a preventive treatment and a way to treat existing crow’s feet. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist if you want a more permanent solution to crow’s feet.

What can I do to stop my face from drooping as I age?
No one needs convincing that as we age, our skin loses its firm, youthful appearance. Eventually, skin begins to droop and sag until you might feel like you hardly recognize yourself in the mirror. For this situation, we can thank gravity, along with the loss of facial fat, collagen, elasticity and hyaluronic acid. As the skin loses its volume, it begins to sag, causing the formation of wrinkles and folds. It all leads to an alteration in the actual shape of the face and hollowed, sunken forehead, eyes and cheeks and a heavier, wider jaw.
Now there is a simple cure for the droop. In just one non-surgical treatment, the new volumizing dermal filler Juvéderm Voluma XC reverses this situation and restores full cheeks, lifting the whole face and reclaiming the heart-shaped look of youth. Thanks to its proprietary cross-linking process, Juvéderm Voluma XC can also last as long as two years before a touch up is necessary. Injections of Voluma plump the area deep beneath the skin, adding volume back to your face, just where you need it, and nowhere you don’t. Now that Voluma is here, it’s time to say “so long” to the droop and “hello cheekbones!”

Which Dermal Filler Lasts Longest?
Dermal fillers provide an easy and safe method of restoring fullness and volume to your face. However, all fillers are not created equal, and no filler provides permanent results. Once you achieve your thrillingly more youthful look, you will need to consider timing of touch-ups to maintain it. Juvéderm and Restylane are fillers made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Because hyaluronic acid is found in your body, it will also be absorbed by it over time. Restylane has the shortest staying power of any dermal filler and requires a touch-up every four to six months. Juvéderm comes in three formulations – Ultra, Ultra Plus, and Voluma, lasting 6 months, 12 months and 24 months respectively.
The product Radiesse can also last up to a year, but it is made from calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier, meaning it is a synthetic product. The filler Sculptra is another synthetic product, a poly-L-lactic acid that helps replace collagen. While it typically requires 2-3 treatments to achieve optimal results, Sculptra lasts two years or sometimes longer.
The newest product to market, Juvéderm Voluma XC, is a recently FDA-approved filler also made from naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid. Voluma is made with a special cross-linking process that gives it more thickness and moldability. It’s also injected deeper than the others, so more than just a filler, it’s a volumizer. Even better, Voluma lasts up to two years. Juvéderm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, and Juvéderm Voluma can tackle different problems, and between the three, virtually any area of the face can be treated – whether it’s lifting cheeks or fine work around the mouth and eyes. The results are safe, natural and frankly, amazing.

I think most women do 10 units, but that freezes the face and you can't move it," she continued. "This is just one unit, and it's just sprinkled here and there to take the edge off. ... Perhaps it's not wise to put that in a magazine? But I ain't hiding anything," she added.

Botox Receives National Marketing Authorization to Treat Crow's-Feet Lines
Today, Allergan, Inc. announced that Botox has received the license from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe lateral canthal lines (crow's-feet lines) seen at maximum smile, either alone or when treated at the same time as glabellar (or frown) lines seen at maximum frown, in adult patients where these facial lines have an important psychological impact. This marketing authorization is specific to Allergan's botulinum toxin type A product and is based on Allergan's successful global Phase III clinical trial program in crow's-feet lines.
"This latest approval for Botox demonstrates Allergan's continued commitment to excellence in neuromodulator innovation and our long-term leadership in medical esthetics," said Paul Navarre, president of Allergan Europe, Africa & Middle East. "We are proud to deliver this important innovation to medical esthetics practitioners in the United Kingdom, allowing them for the first time to treat the glabellar and crow's-feet areas either alone or simultaneously."
The MHRA license for the use of Botox to treat crow's-feet lines is based on the results of two randomized, multi-center, placebo-controlled clinical studies involving more than 1,350 patients.1 These studies met their primary endpoint, demonstrating that patients who received treatment with Botox achieved none or mild lines according to investigator assessment at day 30, compared to those patients who did not receive botulinum toxin type A treatment and this significant reduction in the appearance of crow's-feet lines lasted an average of four months post-treatment.1 In general, patients treated with Botox reported that they looked younger and more attractive.1 In these studies, Allergan's botulinum toxin type A product was generally well tolerated.1 Like all medicines, Allergan's botulinum toxin type A product may cause side effects, although the incidence rate is variable. In general, adverse reactions occurred within the first few days following injection and were temporary.1
"Crow's-feet lines are amongst the top aging concerns for people in the United Kingdom and Europe. While these lines form a natural part of our eye expressions, over time they can become fixed or elongated even when our faces are relaxed, which can make us look tired or stressed," said David Eccleston, clinical director, MediZen Clinic. "Softening the appearance of crow's-feet lines as well as the glabellar lines with Botox can deliver a refreshed and natural look, helping patients to look like themselves again and improve their self confidence."
