3 Tips for Getting Holiday-Ready Like the Pros Tulsa, OK

You don’t have to be a professional or a celebrity to look like a million bucks this holiday season. Take it from the skin care experts (that’s us!): Looking and feeling your best is a piece of cake with a few simple tips from Skin Care Institute:

1. Be sure to schedule your treatments two or three weeks before you want to be “seen.”

When it comes to getting party-ready, procrastination is not your friend. Laser acne treatment, IPL photofacial, Fraxel® laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, Clear+Brilliant^®, Botox^®, dermal fillers: What do all these different treatments have in common? It can take up to a week or longer to see optimal benefits. Here are several other good reasons for planning ahead:

With laser acne treatment, IPL or other treatments, you may need a series of treatments to see your best results.

With injectables, you may need a touch-up treatment. Also, injectables can take a few weeks to fully settle into your facial contours and for any swelling or bruising to fully subside.

Fraxel laser skin resurfacing stimulates your skin to grow new collagen and elastin in the weeks and months following treatment. As you may know, collagen and elastin growth are gradual processes.

IPL helps correct pigmentation irregularities. It can take a week or longer for dark spots to fully slough off and for any targeted redness or small veins to subside. Also, with IPL photofacials, a series of treatments is recommended to achieve your best results.

2. Choose EMSCULPT^® If you need fast body toning results.

We all love CoolSculpting^® for non-invasive fat reduction, but if you’re looking to tone your abdomen area, for example, so you can feel body-confident in your holiday attire, EMSCULPT may be a perfect fit for you (pun intended!). EMSCULPT works within days to strengthen and tone muscle. You can enjoy a firmer, trimmer appearance within a few weeks with EMSCULPT!

3. Remember, you are worth it!

The holiday season is a time for giving, but don’t forget about giving to yourself! When you invest time and effort into yourself, you are honoring your body and spirit and restoring balance and energy to boot. Self-care takes many forms, whether you’re caring for your skin with medical-grade skin care products or undergoing a skin rejuvenation treatment to reverse sun damage and aging, every step counts in major ways toward boosting your confidence and well-being (and the glowing complexion benefits aren’t so bad, either!).

Last, but not least: Don’t be afraid to try something new!

Would you believe that sitting in a chair could help improve bladder leakage and stress urinary incontinence? Emsella^® is a special chair designed specifically to strengthen weakened pelvic floor muscles to improve stress urinary incontinence and bladder leakage.

An estimated 25 million Americans, mostly women, suffer from bladder leakage and stress urinary incontinence, often as the result of natural aging, childbirth or menopause. Emsella is a non-invasive, no-downtime treatment that strengthens deep pelvic floor muscles by inducing kegel-like contractions with high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM^®) — all from the comfort of a chair.

FDA-cleared Emsella provides the following benefits:

• Tightened pelvic floor muscles
• Reduced bladder leakage
• Improved stress urinary incontinence
