Why I Love HydraFacial™ Contest Winner

2011-09-26T14:28:00.000-07:00

We recently held the Why I Love HydraFacial™ contest, and received some great testimonials! We are excited to announce that Vee Kelsey-McKee from Skinful Pleasures, Salt Lake City, Utah was our Grand Prize winner!

Vee shared with us a touching story about one of her clients who is a skin cancer survivor, and was unhappy with how her skin was left after all the cancer treatments. Here is how Vee and the HydraFacial™ machine helped her:

“I have a client who had facial skin cancer removed, followed by chemotherapy and reconstructive surgery. When she came to me after this, she still had some visible scarring and her grayish-white skin was congested and not carrying out its excretory function. She was depressed about her appearance. We started doing HydraFacial™ treatments every two weeks with the vacuum on a lower setting. After six weeks, she called me very excited because she had started breaking out—a sign that her skin was returning to its normal functions by getting rid of the impurities that it had been harboring. As we continued over the next few weeks, her skin cleared up and became pink and healthy-looking, and her scars softened and became unnoticeable. On a visit to her dermatologist, he told her that whatever she was doing was definitely working and to keep doing it. Of course, she told him about the HydraFacial™. The icing on the cake, though, was when another woman stopped her while she was jogging and said, ‘You have the most beautiful skin, it just glows. What are you doing to keep it like that?’ She is still doing regular HydraFacial™ treatments…

…My HydraFacial™ machine gives me the ability to truly help people to look better, have healthier skin, and feel better about themselves. And that’s why I love it.”

Congratulations Vee! Thank you so much for sharing this touching story with us. If you live in the Salt Lake City area, make sure to stop in and see Vee!

Beating The Office Blues

2011-08-25T10:04:00.000-07:00

Working all day in an office can be dreary. The florescent lights, ugly carpet and lack of fresh air can leave you drained by 5:00 pm. When you are tired and stressed, the health of your skin can suffer. Luckily, there are some things you can do to keep your energy up, your mood happy, and your body and skin healthy.

Tip 1: Our bodies can only be stationary for so long before becoming uncomfortable. It is important to leave your desk once in a while and stretch your muscles. Instead of emailing or calling a coworker, walk over to their desk to talk to them! Go for short walks once or twice a day, which will help keep weight gain down and focus levels up.

Tip 2: When sitting at a desk all day, it is easy to reach for unhealthy snacks and food. Keep healthy, premeasured snacks at your desk to prevent mindless munching. Snacks like nuts, fresh fruit, turkey and peanut butter will help give you a burst of much needed energy throughout the day.

Tip 3: While it is tempting to sit at our desk throughout lunch and check emails, do a little online shopping and catch up with our friends, it is so important to step away from your desk for your lunch hour. Get outside; enjoy the sun/clouds/rain etc, and breath in the fresh air.

Tip 4: For those of you who are brave enough to endure ridicule from your co-workers, bring an exercise ball to sit on instead of a chair. This will help you to keep proper posture throughout the day, strengthen your core and lower back, as well as help improve your balance. To top it all off, you can burn up to 350 calories per day! For more details on how to make the change, check this out.

Tip 5: Lastly, since you spend so much time at your desk, you should fill your area with things that make you happy. Bright colored flowers, a decorative wall calendar, pictures of your family, etc. Placing your favorite things around you will help to boost your mood when your feeling a little blue. Check out some fun cubicle designs here.

Do you have other ideas on how to beat the office blues? If you do, we would love to hear them! After all, we spend all day in the office too….

Happy Fourth Of July!

2011-07-01T12:04:00.000-07:00

Since our world revolves around skincare, we thought it would be appropriate to share some summer skincare tips with you. Here are our tips to protect your skin this 4th of July:

The most crucial part of healthy summer skin, is making sure you are consistently applying sunscreen. Don’t forget your lips, ears, and neck as these areas tend to be forgotten. Sunburns are not only painful, but also contribute to long-term skin damage.

Spending time outside is the best part of summer, and Cooibar Quality Sun Protection has created a whole line of stylish clothing that provides SPF protection. These clothes are perfect for an afternoon jog, a day of golf or a fun filled day at the beach. Make sure to check out all their cute summer wear!

Our eyes our so precious, yet sometimes we forget to protect them! It is important to wear polarized sunglasses that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. In addition to the damage the sun can do to your eyes, not wearing sunglasses may cause you to squint, which over time will create fine lines around the eyes- something no one wants.

Lucky for us, big, floppy hats are in style! They are the perfect accessory to every outfit, and they offer great protection from the sun! If you are not into wearing hats, make sure to put sunscreen on your scalp. If you’ve ever burned your head/scalp- you know the pain it causes! Plus, a peeling scalp is never attractive.

For complete coverage, we suggest our UV Smart™ SPF 50+ Sunscreen. It offers broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, and goes on smooth for ultra sheer coverage that blends with your natural skin tone. Click here to see how easily the UV Smart works with all skin tones!

Edge Systems Supports The Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Center

2011-06-14T12:24:00.000-07:00

This past Saturday, Edge Systems threw on sunscreen and running shoes and participated in the 26th Annual Jonathan Jaques Champions Run For Life event. We had the pleasure of sponsoring Nicholas, Alexa, and Carlos, and enjoyed cheering them on during the run. “We are so proud to be a part of this amazing organization. These children are fighting a battle that takes courage, strength and a lot of heart. We look forward to meeting these heroes at the event every year!” said Megan from Customer Service.

Over 350 children battling cancer or rare blood disorders participated in the relay race in Downtown Long Beach on Saturday, June 11, 2011. Each child had the opportunity to run with the torch while friends, family and sponsors showed their support by running beside them. The day was filled with smiles, hope and inspiration. Guests enjoyed several carnival style games, face painting and lunch sponsored by McDonalds. Many child stars also came out to support this amazing cause including Angus T. Jones from Two and a Half Men, Tanya Chisholm from Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush, and Kevin Horton from Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place. The children (and adults) enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with some of their favorite TV celebrities.

We have participated in the Annual Champions Run For Life for the past 14 years and it has become an event that the company holds near to our hearts. We donate a portion of our proceeds in order to sponsor children at the annual event. “Each year, all of us at Edge look forward to the JJCC Torch Run. Seeing the kid’s positive attitudes, bravery and sharing in their success benefits all of us at Edge Systems. We are all very happy to be a part of creating such special memories and donating to the Long Beach Memorial Children’s Cancer Center,” says Bill Cohen, Vice President/International Sales.

Celebrate Memorial Day weekend with "Don't Fry Day"!

2011-05-27T10:55:00.000-07:00

Today is officially Don’t Fry Day! A day devoted to sun safety awareness and skin cancer prevention, started by the Skin Cancer Foundation. Before we all head outside this Memorial Day weekend, arm yourself with the protection you need.

There are only 31 days before the first day of summer. This means the sun is stronger and sunscreen is essential. With the summer heat rising, we will be spending more time outdoors enjoying all the summer activities. Start now and make it a habit to apply sunscreen every morning and reapply as often as needed. Carrying a tube of sunscreen wherever you go will be a reminder that you need to reapply. Don’t just buy any sunscreen - there are important factors to look for before you make your next purchase.

SPF – Sun Protection Factor. Sunscreens are classified by the strength of their SPF, starting as low as 2 and going beyond 50. These numbers refer to the product's ability to deflect the sun's burning rays (UVB). SPF measures the time it takes to produce a sunburn reaction on protected skin compared to unprotected skin. Look for sunblock SPF 30, which blocks out 97% UVB rays.

UVB and UVA Rays: UVB rays are what people are most familiar with, since they are the cause of sunburn. Their intensity depends on the time of day, location, and time of year. However, the lesser known UVA rays can be extremely dangerous because they are present during all daylight hours, regardless of the temperature outside or the time of year. These rays also penetrate the skin deeper than UVB rays and are most commonly associated with aging and wrinkles.

Forgotten Areas: Ears. Feet. Hands. Skin cancer is common in these areas since they are almost always exposed to the sun and are often times left out of the sunscreen application process. Add these areas to your daily routine!

We recommend wearing sunscreen everyday, try the HydraFacial™ UV Smart™ Daily. UV Smart™ Daily Sunscreen goes beyond basic sun protection providing broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection! UV Smart™ Daily SPF 30 uses powerful zinc oxide to protect against damaging UV rays while antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, E, CoQ-10 & Green Tea Extract help to combat free radicals and environmental damage.

Finding the Beauty in Earth Day

2011-04-22T15:22:00.001-07:00

In honor of Earth Day, we wanted to discuss the importance of recycling old beauty products. We spend lots of money on these items, and usually the containers are just too awesome to toss. Other times, there is just no use for them, and they need to be tossed. Make sure to check out Earth991 to find out which materials are hazardous and how to dispose of them.

Nail Polish: Most of us have tons of old nail polishes sitting in our bathroom drawer. They are almost empty, dried up, or screams the 80’s and you will never wear them again. Did you know that throwing them away in the trash is harmful to the environment? The Environmental Protection Agency says that nail polish is considered a Household Hazardous Waste Material, and should be disposed of properly. Find a recycling center near you, or, if you are crafty, here’s a couple of fun ways to reuse your old nail polish bottles:
- Get artsy and mix a couple of old colors together
- Use for arts and crafts projects with the kids
- Decorate the bottle and use it as a ring holder

Make Up and Perfume Bottles: Women tend to collect make up and perfume like crazy. Every season, we try to stay up with new trends, colors and scents and end up with a huge collection barely used products. When you are done with your make up (either because you used it all, or the color is soo last season), check with your make up company, as many of them will collect your empty make up containers and recycle them. Some will even give you a product or sample in return! If you are looking to toss old perfume bottles, we suggest checking with your local Hazardous Waste Facility before placing them in the recycling bin. The empty bottles still contain toxins from the perfume that should not be placed with other recyclables. Since some packaging is pretty stylish, you may want to keep the empty containers. Here are a couple of suggestions:
- Use lipstick containers to hold things like pills, Q-Tips, bobby pins, or mini sewing kits.
- Place loose change, jewelry or pills in empty loose powder pots
- Take off the top of a perfume bottle, and use it as a single stem vase
- Fill old bottles with water, and use to mist indoor plants
- Place an essential oil in perfume bottle and add tall wooden skewers to create a room diffuser

Other Lotions and Potions: Both men and women seem to rack up huge collections of bottles and containers. Shampoo bottles, hair gel, face wash, moisturizers (even Antiox™ Daily)….the list goes on and on. When we are done with these products, we usually pour them down the drain or toss them in the trash. If the container is completely empty of any product, it is okay to recycle them. If there is still product in it, you will want to make sure to take to a hazardous waste location. Bottles with product inside are considered flammable and can pollute the landfill.

If you are looking for earth-friendly products, all HydraFacial™ take home products are completely recyclable! Whatever you choose to do with your old beauty products, just make sure you are doing something that Mother Earth would be proud of this Earth Day!

Healthy Foods for Healthy Skin

2011-04-15T15:14:00.000-07:00

Wash your face. Exfoliate. Moisturize. Use Sunscreen. We see the commercials, we read the ads, and we buy the product. We get it- there are many things we can do to our skin topically that greatly contribute to the maintenance and overall health of our skin. But, did you know that there is something else you can be doing to compliment your daily skin care regimen? We have learned that there are many foods you can eat that can positively affect the overall look and feel of your skin. The best part? These foods are seriously delicious, and super easy to incorporate into your meals. Here is what we found out:

Vitamin A- Vitamin A is crucial to your skin’s maintenance and repair. There are several delicious ways to make sure you are getting enough Vitamin A. Orange veggies like pumpkin, yams, and carrots are loaded with Vitamin A. Foods like cantaloupe, watermelon, and tomatoes are also very high in Vitamin A. Our suggestions? Create a delicious side dish of Orange Glazed Carrots. All you need to do is simmer 1 pound of cooked carrots in orange juice for five minutes, add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, ¼ cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons of butter and a pinch of salt. Heat until everything melts together. Enjoy!

Vitamin C- Mom always told us to drink orange juice when we were feeling under the weather. Little did she know that in addition to boosting your immune system, it also has wondrous effects on your skin. Studies show that Vitamin C helps with the appearance of wrinkles and dry, rough skin. Many citrus fruits, peppers, and tomato juice are an excellent source of Vitamin C. While there are several ways to increase your daily intake, here is what we found to be the easiest: add green and red peppers to your chicken tacos, throw together a fruit salad to bring to an afternoon BBQ, or simply listen to Mom and drink a good old fashioned glass of O.J. each morning.

Vitamin E- Eating foods rich in Vitamin E will help prevent pigmentation and improve the overall appearance of the skin. These foods include avocados, spinach, hazelnuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, almonds and olive oil. A great way to enjoy these foods? Throw together a spinach salad with sliced avocado. Create a dressing by mixing extra virgin olive oil with balsamic vinaigrette and a splash of lemon juice. Also, keep a baggie of mixed nuts in your car or at your desk, which will give you a healthy option when afternoon hunger hits.

Water- It should come as no surprise that water is an important part of keeping your skin healthy. Not only does water keep your skin cells hydrated, it also helps move toxins out of the body. Drinking eight glasses a day can give your skin amazing results and also help your overall health. Having a hard time drinking eight glasses a day? Do as the most fabulous spas do: cut up your favorite fruits and add them to a pitcher or water bottle. Our favorite fruits to add? Grapefruits, limes, lemons, strawberries, watermelon and oranges. Make sure to change up the combination each day, which will give you a refreshing new taste and ensure your taste buds don’t get bored!

Antioxidants- Fruits like blackberries, blueberries and strawberries are high in antioxidants and can help protect your skin from free radicals that can lead to premature aging. Our favorite way to load up on these colorful berries? Create a delicious dessert by adding a heaping pile of these juicy fruits to a slice of angel food cake and Cool Whip! Enjoy knowing that you are doing your skin a favor.

So you see, what you are eating can have a huge affect on the apperance and health of your skin. So get in the kitchen, channel your inner chef, and whip up some delicious skin-friendly creations.

Make sure to share your ideas with us! For a quick burst of vitamins and antioxidants for your skin, receive a HydraFacial which will give you immediate results and leave your skin feeling healthy and hydrated.

Lights, check. Gifts, check. Healthy diet, um pass? During this season, everything comes in excess from decorations, presents, and especially food. With holiday events and family parties, our diets fade and our pants get noticeably tighter. Awful to think about when you’re trying to look your absolute best for New Year’s Eve! It’s inhuman and cruel to have diets during the holiday season, so be smart and manage what you eat and enjoy without sacrificing flavor.

These bloggers live, breath, and obviously enjoy food! They’ve come up with some festive, delicious baking recipes that will make you the star of any party or dinner.

Say Au Revoir to Dry Winter Skin!

2010-12-03T07:18:00.000-08:00

Even though the weather outside is frightful, that doesn’t mean your skin has to be too. For many, the cold, crisp days of winter signal the holidays, gifts, and family; but also dry, cracked skin. If you’ve ever experienced dry skin, it can be as uncomfortable as getting caught going back for seconds at the company holiday dinner.

But don’t be discouraged! You can take some preventative measures to help alleviate dry skin this season with three simple steps: hydrating, exfoliating, and protecting. And every savvy holiday shopping knows time is of the essence! To help keep you on your tight holiday schedule, the HydraFacial™ does all three in one :)

Step 1: Hydration
Our body is made up of 70% water, so it is essential to keep yourself hydrated. Like summer, our skin loses water throughout the day but it is even more elevated because we take in less water during winter months. Be sure to drink up! Externally, always moisturize the skin with products containing the key ingredient like hyaluronic acid, the best hydrating ingredient on the market. It holds as much as 1000 times it weight in water! HydraFacial™ treatments administer hyaluronic acid making skin instantly looking plumper. Keeping moisture within your body is the first major step in fighting itchy, dry skin.

Step 2: Exfoliation
Dull skin results from build-up of dead cells and dirt. In addition our skin is constantly exposed to toxic pollution and makeup. All these factors lead to extremely unappealing skin! Don’t you want to glow in every holiday picture? An important step in the HydraFacial™ is buffing away all harmful build-up to reveal your younger looking self. By exfoliating the skin often, you can help expel all the unwanted impurities and allow new skin cells to breathe. With the HydraFacial™’s zero downtime, it is safe to do even before pictures!

Step 3: Protection
The harsh, crisp winter winds are unforgiving, so you need to think about protection all winter long! Exfoliation leaves healthy skin ready to be nourished by rich, nutrients. The HydraFacial™ is more effective and efficient in Vortex-Fusing™ the skin in rich antioxidants. It ensures deep saturation and protection compared to manual application, which only covers minimal surface area.

Moisture and protection are the two key components to help achieve soft, glowing skin. Believe it or not, sunscreen is essential even during winter to help protect skin from harmful UV rays. The HydraFacial™ Daily take-home products contain the same performing ingredient as the professional treatment and can help augment your treated skin while sustaining the HydraFacial™ glow!

Beautiful, lush skin is possible even during harsh winter months! Don’t hide your face from others or yourself this season. Let your healthy skin be a lasting gift to yourself this holiday.

Wait, They Did What?

2010-11-19T13:31:00.000-08:00

The next time you complain about your skin, be thankful for the safe, fast acting solutions offered today. In celebration of Thanksgiving, we thought it would be appropriate to give thanks to the women before us who have gone to great lengths to allow us to be where we are today in skin care. Our ancestors went through thick and thin to achieve “beautiful skin”. Completely unaware of the dangers of certain ingredients, women experimented with chemicals we now know are extremely dangerous. All this for the sake of looking good! Scary, right? Let’s just say, we’ve got it easy.

Modern skincare has come a very long way since ancient times. Women reverted to drastic measure to achieve a desired look. Until the mid-twentieth century, pale, ghostly skin was desired by all women because of its association with high social standing. Here are some of the fun facts about the “poison of choice” in which these women used (click to enlarge photo):

There is some good that came from all this self-induced torture for the sake of beauty. In the midst of all the dangerous chemicals, women did use lots of natural ingredients we see today. Rosemary, horse chestnut, seaweed, white tea, eggs, olive oil, honey, milk, and almond oil were some of the popular ingredients found in their self-made skin care products. When you really examine the ingredients and methods used today, it may surprise you about the similarities they share with the HydraFacial™ Daily Skin Care line. The Antiox Daily™, UV Smart™ Daily SPF 30 sunscreen, and the Beta HD™Daily are rich in vitamins A, E, & C as well as contain hydrating ingredients such as honey extract. Even in ancient times, women understood the key to healthy skin was constant hydration.

Regardless of method or ingredient, women have always searched for the same common ground, beautiful skin. Thanks to these women, we are now able to enjoy the many luxuries of skin care without harming ourselves. Let’s celebrate these brave women by continuing the tradition of maintaining Skin Health for Life™ with the Hydrafacial™ Daily Skin care line this season! Please see your local provider for the Skin Health™ in a bag holiday special.

Skin Cancer Awareness Month - Be UV Smart™!

One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime*. Chances are you or someone close to you has been affected by skin cancer - maybe a family member, old friends, or even collegues. Skin cancer has rapidly grown to be the most common form of cancer in the United States, and yet many are still disregarding the facts.

It seems pretty scary when you really start to think about it. Every day we are exposed to UV rays - even when it's cloudy; even sitting next to a window; even just driving in your car! UV rays are the biggest contributors to developing skin cancer. The solution is simple really - you should wear UVA and UVB protection EVERY day, even when you are only outside for a short while.

If you are one of those people still making monthly or worse, weekly visits to a tanning salon, consider this: Indoor tanning may increase your risk by 1.5 - 2.5 times*.

As if skin health isn't enough - lets look at it from an aesthetic point of view -"Up to 90 percent of the visible changes commonly attributed to aging are caused by the sun*." When your skin is exposed to UV rays and free radicals, your skin begins to loose elastin and collagen, you may develop fine lines and wrinkles, or you may start to see age spots and discoloration.

So, be smart about sun exposure and get UV Smart™ to protect yourself. Our SPF 30 formula provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and it is lightweight and oil free, so you can wear it every day. It is also packed with antioxidants like Vitamin A, C, E, Green Tea Extract, and CoQ10 that help battle free radicals.

Antiox™ Daily

2010-04-28T15:17:00.000-07:00

Antioxidants - the big buzz word in the beauty industry. You hear about them all the time but do you even really know what they are or what they do?

First lets talk a little chemistry (without getting too technical =] ). Oxidation is a chemical process that removes an electron from an element, making it weak. Oxidation is caused by free radicals - things like pollution, smog, smoke, and UV radiation. Antioxidants reverse these effects and prevent oxidation from occurring, and therefore creating a protective barrier.

So how does this relate to your skin? Every day our skin is exposed to free radicals that target the collagen and elastin in our skin - two important chemicals that keep us looking young. Antioxidants help prevent oxidation of these chemicals. The best part is, they build up within your skin, creating a barrier.

The HydraFacial™ procedure infuses antioxidants into your skin, helping to keep your skin healthy. Our Antiox™ Daily solution has the same performing ingredients and is designed to maintain and even increase you antioxidant level between treatments.

Antiox™ Daily contains antioxidants such as Vitamins A, E, and White Tea Extract along with Hyaluronic Acid to deeply moisturize your skin. The smooth silky texture will leave you with a hydrated, healthy glow.

All this month you can enter to win Antiox™ Daily as part of your HydraFacial™ Skin Health Regimen starter kit. Take our quiz and enter your email at the end for a chance to win over $100 worth of product! Only One Day Left!!!

Beta-HD™ Daily

2010-04-16T08:56:00.000-07:00

4 letter curse words. You hear them on TV, in music, and from many teens and 20s. We have become accustomed to it - and it seems like there is no escape. It might be hard to decide what the worst 4-letter curse word is, but I'm here to tell ya - it's ACNE.

We are completely bombarded with acne this and acne that - creams and lotions and masks and instant zip-zapping power - but the acne persists, and sometimes worsens. To top it off, we are given countless reasons why.

But the fact is, there are no facts - only suggestions. And I've got a good one for you. Once a month, relax, kick back, and get a HydraFacial™. Yes, acne treatments can be enjoyable :) AND you can help several acne issues at once.

The HydraFacial™ starts by deep cleansing and exfoliating your skin - it's like starting with a fresh slate. Then the HydraFacial™ includes extractions to get deep into pores and remove the built up that causes blackheads. The HydraFacial™ finishes with an antioxidant serum packed with vitamins and moisturizing Hyaluronic Acid.

So, what do you do for the rest of the month? Wash daily with the gentle Activ™ foaming cleanser and use Beta-HD™ Daily. Stop using those harsh chemicals that dry out your skin and burn when applied. The Beta-HD™ Daily feels silky smooth when applied and helps control oil throughout the day. It uses salicylic acid, commonly used for sensitive skin, so it is safe for all skin types.

All this month you can enter to win Beta-HD™ as part of your HydraFacial™ Skin Health Regimen starter kit. Take our quiz and enter you email at the end for a chance to win over $100 worth of product!

DermaBuilder Daily

2010-04-14T13:05:00.000-07:00

Many put up a good fight in the war on wrinkles - but maybe it's time to change your stategy. When it comes to options, what can you do? Many don't want to use needles (Yikes!), most don't want to have surgery (Ouch!), and countless over the counter creams make empty promises (Sigh!). So what's left?

Well - there's HydraFacial™ that can help with that! Everyone loves the immidiate results, the radiant glow, and the pure healthiness it restores to their skin. So why not continue to see the same results all month long?

As part of the HydraFacial™ Skin Regimen, you can use DermaBuilder™ Daily to help combat those stubborn fine lines and wrinkles. Plus it will help you extend and enhance your treatment results, and is considered an essential part of the procedure.

Here's the science behind it: DermaBuilder™ Daily is a complex of peptides that help to repair and improve the structure of the Dermal-Epidermal Junction by stimulating collagen and elastin protiens.

Simply put, it reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improves skin structural strength, enhances elasticity, and increases skin firmness.

Time For A Spring Cleaning!

2010-03-26T16:00:00.000-07:00

It's that time of year again when we pull out our brooms, mops, and sponges and go to work. All of the junk we have collected through the winter season has got to go. We clean out closets to make room for the seasons hottest fashions; we empty out the fridge: no more leftovers; we even capture a few bunnies - dust bunnies I mean.

Then, after cleaning every mirror in our house we start to realize - my face could use a spring cleaning too! Winter weather has left our skin dry and dull, and now it's time to shine.

You already know that HydraFacial™ can help with that - but maybe there is something else you can add to give you that glow - and that's a GlySal™ Peel. The HydraFacial™ GlySal™ Peel is completely unique! It is administered during your HydraFacial™ through the same specially designed HydroPeel® tips. The tip allows for deeper absorption, making the peel more effective. The tip simultaneously vacuums away the dead skin cells, resulting in little to no post peel sloughing.

The best part - there is no burning sensation that is usually expected from a traditional peel. Who has time to sit in front of a cooling fan, and frankly - who wants to? Now you won't have to! This peel is fast, effective, and aggressive, without making your face look like a battlefield.

The GlySal™ Peel is also perfect before any special occasion. With no down time, it is the ideal way to get picture perfect skin for any big event. Even InStyle Weddings ranked HydraFacial™ as one of their top treatments - a "Radiant Skin Shortcut."

The HydraFacial™ GlySal™ Peel is only offered at select locations, so ask your local provider or check out our provider page and look for the GlySal symbol at http://hydrafacial.com/html/providers.htm.

Battle of the Sexes - Anti-Aging Not Just A Woman's Battle

2010-03-22T11:00:00.000-07:00

Men are simple - they like things to be easy and they don't want to sit around and wait. They are not touchy-feely and they don't care about ambiance. They do however want to look and feel good, without all the hassle. Women will take hours to get ready, but men - they are in and out in a flash.

Women are appearing younger and younger with each new aesthetic advance, while men seem to be getting older and older. Now men are starting to wise up - they are looking for simpler ways to achieve the same results.

HydraFacial™ is highly sought out by men for several reasons:
* It's fast - it takes as little as 15 minutes.
* It's immediate - they don't have to wait for weeks for results.
* It's simple - there's no "Froo Froo" involved - just science
* It's easy - Continue to see results at home with our take home solutions - they can be combined and applied in one easy step.

It is even fit for a prince - Prince Albert of Monaco has even traveled to the states to receive the royal treatment.

HydraFacial™ is also fast becoming a favorite among celebrities such as Matthew McConaughey and Ethan Hawk, but we wanted to check in with our leading man Travis to see his results:

How Travis maintains his good looks and charm

Travis has recently reconnected with old friends on Facebook who have commented on how great he looks - "I have a glow about me - I look energized." What has Travis noticed the most following his HydraFacial™ treatments? "Lines! I have a reduction in the lines around my eyes and forehead." He has also started using our SPF Sunscreen Lotion, which he loves: "Using SPF is like flossing - you don't realize how important it is until things go wrong. Now I use it every day."

Travis said he secret is taking care of himself from the inside out - even when life gets crazy, you have to make time to care for yourself. In addition to his HydraFacial™ skin care, Travis is still practicing Bikram Yoga and has a newfound love of brousing the Farmer's Markets for the freshest foods.

"The knowledge that Edge has given me has completely changed the way that I live."

What's up next for Travis

All this month Travis is up in Vancouver shooting a new film called Bind in which several friends take an innocent winter trip only to discover that one of them is a violent, bloody murderer... We just hope Travis makes it out alive!

Leprechauns Love HydraFacial

Oscar Worthy Skin Care

2010-03-03T10:50:00.000-08:00

The Academy Awards: Hollywood's biggest night. All the hottest stars arrive looking absolutely stunning and flawless, and we think, "How do they get such great skin?" Well the secrets out - and no it's not just because they have a team of people helping them. It's because they know how to care for their skin. They don't waste their time with drug store products; they look for quality and results.

And that's exactly what you will get from HydraFacial™. The HydraFacial™ procedure will give you immediate results and leave you glowing as bright as the Hollywood stars. The best part - it's not just a quick-fix-it procedure. The HydraFacial™ improves the quality of your skin, actually helping to making it healthy.

What do you need to get healthy skin? The first major factor is sun protection - and not just from a SPF. We are talking free radical protection, and that means antioxidants. The HydraFacial™ uses pneumatic application to infuse antioxidants, helping to restore your skin's health.

The second factor is maintanence. Over time dead skin cells and other residue can build up - the HydraFacial™ exfoliates it all away, but the difference is it hydrates symultaneously; that usual dry, peeling effect is eliminated. And now you can maintain and enhance your results with the take home kit - the same great ingredients used during the HydraFacial™ procedure can be purchased for every day care.

It's that easy!

HydraFacial Featured On The Doctors Show

2010-02-19T08:42:00.000-08:00

Did you miss the new episode "The #1 Secret to Living Longer and Looking Younger (The Water Show)" on The Doctors national TV show Wednesday 2/17? Host Dr. Ordon and Launa Stone, RN (Owner of Stone Med Spa, Calabasas, CA) talked about the HydraFacial MD® procedure.

The HydraFacial™ is featured as a new anti-aging procedure that hydrates and infuses vitamins, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid into the skin while it cleanses the pores, extracts blackheads, whiteheads and impurities, and refreshes the skin.

HydraFacial MD® hydradermabrasion is the latest, non-invasive skin resurfacing and rejuvenation technology. This advanced skin treatment, administered by professionals, delivers proven and immediate results without the use of harsh chemicals or lasers.

HydraFacial™ is the only procedure available today that can infuse antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, peptide complex, and nutrient skin-enhancing serums into the skin through pneumatic application. The HydraFacial™ combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection simultaneously, resulting in clearer, healthier skin with no discomfort or downtime. It targets fine lines and wrinkles, congested and enlarged pores, oily or acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation and brown spots.

The HydraFacial™ is considered one step above Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for skin rejuvenation (Bruce M. Freedman, M.D. F.A.C.S., Rejuvenation Stairway, 2007). Studies showed that skin antioxidant levels increased by 30% after a HydraFacial™ procedure using its antioxidant hyaluronic acid serum. It augments IPL results and reduces IPL's adverse effects (See Studies Below). Top medical centers like Brigham and Women's Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center, and the Cleveland Clinic use the HydraFacial™ system.

The HydraFacial™ provides immediate results and can be used on all skin types - even sensitive skin and skin of color. People around the world, including Prince Albert of Monaco and A-list Hollywood celebrities use HydraFacial™ to keep their skin healthy and naturally radiant.

Simple Ways to Help Haiti

2010-02-16T15:11:00.000-08:00

When tragedy strikes, for a moment the whole world stands still. We take a moment to really consider who and what is most important in our lives. We tend to forget how much we take for granted, and in times of need, we are reminded of how important it is to give something back.

Many celebrities took action and contributed to the relief efforts: George Clooney held the "Hope For Haiti" telethon; The Grammy's broadcast Haiti relief suggestions and stars like Miley Cirus are donating their dresses; and our favorite actor Travis Aaron Wade attended his friends birthday in which all guests had to donate upon arrival.

If you are not a celebrity, it can be difficult to know exactly how to help, but if you look closely, simple, everyday activities offer ways to help. We can donate without all the extravagance through organizations like the Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, Unicef, and Care - for some it is as easy as a text message.

Even local businesses are helping out - Today we are recognizing Reflections MedSpa in Oxford Mississippi and all those who have donated and contributed to the Haiti relief efforts. Last week at Reflections, people were taking care of their skin and learning about how to prevent damage, all while they were contributing to the Haiti Relief Efforts.

Today's Provider: Reflections MedSpa

Last week, Reflections held a Haiti Relief event in which all proceeds went to the Doctors without Borders Fund. Men and women made donations and received free HydraFacial™ intro treatments.

Located in Oxford, Mississippi, Reflections MedSpa addresses all of your skin concerns: from acne to age spots, fine lines or deep wrinkles, Senior Aesthetician Mary Unsell has got you covered.

Her HydraFacial™ treatment is tailored to fit your skin needs and includes the face and neck. A few extra perks of her treatment are the face mask and hand massage, making her HydraFacial™ ultra relaxing!

Now is the perfect time to stop in and see Mary! HydraFacial™ is the service of the month for February, which means you get an extra $10 off - perfect if you needed some extra cash to donate :)

You can also buy 5 HydraFacial™ treatments and get 1 FREE!

Ring In The New Year In Style

2009-12-29T09:24:00.000-08:00

To go out with a bang - here are a few quick fixes to ensure that you enter 2010 looking and feeling your best.

You wake up seeing red - not in your eyes but on your face. You think you look like spottie dottie or worse. Don't let a few red blemishes ruin your beautiful complexion. Eye drops are known to get the red out - so give that a try.

Your party outfit is perfect. You got all the great deals on after sales, and you are ready to hit the town. And then you spot it - that pesky stuff that keeps you fresh and dry has made it down the side of your shirt. Don't panic!!! That old pair of nylons with the endless runs in them can rub deodorant right out. Out spot out!

Speaking of nylons - they are a great accessory to any outfit, but they sure show how much fun you have in them. Those pesky runs can quickly be stopped if spotted early on with a little drop of super glue - that stuff is called super for a reason. Keep it with you for other things too - it can stop bleeding (for minor cuts only please), great if you break a nail (OUCH!), or if you dance the heel right off your shoe (that way you don't limp home).

If you rush out after working all day, and your hair is lacking that luster, your pressed powder that keeps your face from getting too oily can also work wonders on your hair. The powder will soak up any excess oil and with a little tease, you are ready for the party scene. Or for a fresh scent try baby powder - But Brunettes Beware - if your hair is too dark, this will only make you look gray - YIKES! For a quick root touch up - you might try mascara - it works wonders on your lashes, why not your locks ;)

The eyes have it - or at least yours will! For the perfect party eyes, start by applying a nude concealer to your eyelids to keep them crease free throughout the evening. For longer, curvier lashes, use a blow dryer to heat up your eyelash curler for a curling iron effect - Gorgeous, simply gorgeous! And to keep those brows under control, a little Chapstick will go a long way.

For the perfect pout, put a little Vaseline on your teeth to keep you lips red and your teeth white. And if you have to "powder your nose," skip the powder and use a toilet seat cover instead as an oil blotter - less oil and less makeup = a more natural, beautiful you.

And of course, don't forget, with immediate results and NO discomfort or downtime, HydraFacial™ is the BEST way to get ready to ring in the New Year. You can have the treatment during the day and be glowing by night - unlike any other treatments, the HydraFacial™ will leave you feeling refreshed and looking radiant, without redness, peeling, stiffness, or soreness. Nothing could be better then getting a clean start with a fresh face.

A few must-haves in any party purse

* Safety pins - be on the safe side: we don't want a rip to ruin the evening.
* Band-Aids - For those blisters and other disasters
* Super Glue - it is super after all!
* Pressed powder
* Lip Gloss - for that New Years Kiss
* Gum - or better yet those disposable no-water necessary toothbrushes
* Cash and Keys and you're all set!

Got any great tips of your own? Leave us a comment!

Please note: the above-mentioned tips and tricks are from the ladies of HydraFacial™. We use them and love them, but they may not work for everyone. All of us here want to wish you a safe and Happy New Year!

2009-12-02T14:00:00.000-08:00

Your face is like a snowflake - completely unique to you. There is something special about each of us - bright blue eyes, a cute button nose, a warm welcoming smile, high cheekbones, or porcelain skin. But despite our favorite features, we sometimes can't see past our flaws like sudden breakouts, new wrinkles, sun damage, or just dull, lifeless skin.

For over 23 years, board certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Ronald C. Russo has helped us rediscover our favorite features and forget the flaws. Dr. Russo offers the HydraFacial™, a non-invasive/non-surgical option, to help rejuvinate and re-energize your skin.

Not just anyone, not just any doctor - Dr. Russo - a doctor who only cares for faces and skin, a doctor thousands have trusted with theirs.

The aestheticians at Rejuvenis provide medically based skin care treatments for the face and body.

Happy Holidays from HydraFacial!

2009-11-24T15:27:00.000-08:00

It's that time of year again—getting ready for the holidays. We do special things with family and friends; we carry on generations of family traditions, bake endlessly, shop frantically, and get ready to prepare wonderful meals. In other words, we experience the stress and overload that comes with trying to make the holidays “perfect.”

The holidays mean many things: seeing your favorite in-laws or meeting the family for the first time; hosting a party or taking a 5 hour flight to get there; finding that perfect gift for that special someone or fighting to get that last "must have" toy for your little bundle of joy. Although it is a time of merry and cheer, for many it can be quite overwhelming.

This holiday season, you have enough to worry about. Don't let your skin cause you any additional stress. Let HydraFacial™ lighten up your holidays with a cheerful, clear, confident complexion.

If you have been off at college, the last thing you want when you finally arrive home is stress acne from finals week. Or maybe you have ventured out into the real world and your first job has created a small worry wrinkle in your forehead. On the other hand, if you are the mother left with the empty nest, it's bad enough that you feel old - you shouldn't have to see it on your face.

HydraFacial™ can help with many common skin concerns including acne, clogged or enlarged pores, fine lines & wrinkles, brown spots, or dull & uneven skin tone. The holidays are the perfect time to pamper your skin and take advantage of any holiday specials - check out our HydraFacial™ website for a full listing of providers.

Happy Holidays from HydraFacial!

Today's Provider - Affordable Enhancements

"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...."

Winter is officially in full swing, and ski and snowboard enthusiasts are rejoicing - that is until they see what the cold weather has done to their skin. Dull skin is the tell tale sign of a snow bunny. In Colorado, Veanessa and her team at Affordable Enhancements offer winter relief with their HydraFacial™ treatments.

Kelly (left) enjoys the Glycolic/Salicylic Acid HydraFacial™ treatment to replenish her skin's moisture. Results showed diminished fine lines and an overall glowing complextion. She is an avid snowboarder at Breckenridge.

If you are one of the lucky ones living in beautiful Colorado, the outdoors is your playground, and not just during winter. When the weather warms up again, you can enjoy hiking, golfing, horseback riding, camping, biking, fishing, and much more! All of these activities can eventually lead to skin damage.

Mary Ellen (right) is enjoying a much needed TNS® HydraFacial™ Growth Factor treatment for her dry, sun damaged, rugged outdoor skin. Results showed a visible reduction in sun spots and fine lines. She is a biking enthusiast on the rugged trails of the nearby parks of Colorado.

Affordable Enhancements is located at the base of the
Rocky Mountains in Littleton, Colorado.

Because it is pain free with NO down time!

Fire and Ice… Not So Nice

2009-11-17T11:38:00.000-08:00

October brought us many things – a boy in a balloon, vampire mania, little pink ribbons, flu shots, pumpkin spice lattes, and not to mention record low temperatures! Now that November is here, the weather has changed and so have our clothes and our coffees – Why not our skin care?!?

As we brace ourselves to brave the rain, sleet, and snow, we search for ways to warm up: we crank the heater, take the warmest showers possible, and layer on as many jackets as we can. Yet all of these things counteract our skin care efforts, draining our skin of all its moisture.

Winter seems to be synonymous with dry, dull, irritated, even itchy skin. Fortunately, there is a solution. The HydraFacial™ exfoliates the dead, dried out skin, while simultaneously replenishing the skin’s natural moisture and nourishing the skin with active botanical extracts. The HydraFacial™ will leave your skin with an overall even tone and a clear, healthy complexion.

And don’t forget the SPF! Many of us neglect this important step in our skin care, especially during winter. Keep your skin looking and feeling young and refreshed all year round with this simple addition to your routine.

Look Great For That Special Date

2009-11-09T16:24:00.000-08:00

It’s happened to all of us – whether it’s a wedding, a graduation, a hot date, or a getaway vacation, we spend weeks planning that “Big Day.” We get anxiously excited, reminiscent of when we were about to go on a field trip back in middle school. When the day finally arrives, we wake up ready to go and there it is, staring back at you in the mirror – all of the stress from planning has shown up on your face.

Don’t let worry wrinkles and stress acne ruin your next “Big Day.” HydraFacial™ has been proven to effectively improve various skin problems on all skin types – with no downtime or discomfort. It creates an instant glow on your face right after the treatment, instead of redness or extreme peeling like with the other harsh treatments. Your skin feels clean, smooth, supple and hydrated right after a treatment. You can have a HydraFacial done right before an event – same day even – and look naturally radiant and refined! That’s why HydraFacial is especially popular among celebrities, beauty pageant contestants, and brides (and bridesmaids) around the world.

For a list of HydraFacial providers, whether in a vacation/wedding destination like Hawaii & Las Vegas, or in a city near you, visit our HydraFacial website. While you are there, you can check out what people are saying about their HydraFacial experience, find us on Facebook, watch the video of how a HydraFacial works, and more!

Secrets Of A Sexy New Star - Travis Aaron Wade

2009-11-06T08:17:00.000-08:00

With charming blue eyes, a genuine smile and a caring heart, it is hard to associate the L.A. native actor Travis Aaron Wade, 34, with a cold-blooded serial killer on the hit CBS series Criminal Minds. He surely knows how to disappear in the role!

“Most of the characters I’ve ever played before, they were sane”, the ex-U.S. Marine says. “This particular performance I couldn’t relate to at all. It is so far from who I am. I was given about 3 days preparing for the role and I studied everything on serial killers… watched documentaries and read books about criminal psychology, which slowly put me in the mindset. It’s a fun process but it wasn’t easy on my mind.”

Being in the acting business, Travis is very savvy about taking care of his appearance. The more youthful he looks, the more job opportunities that open up for him. He can play roles in his own age group (i.e. a young father in his 30’s), or compete with young actors for 25 or 26-year-old roles.

For body and mind, Travis does Bikram Yoga and works out at the gym. For skincare, he opts for the advanced HydraFacial skin rejuvenation treatment – one of the favorites among many Hollywood celebrities – to keep his face fresh, clean, radiant, and line-free. “[HydraFacial] is nothing like what I’ve had done before”, Travis gushes about the treatment. “It is absolutely the best skin treatment I have ever had in 10 years of L.A. living!” Travis has been reached out by a few companies and has tried different products and treatments. He feels that HydraFacial is unique because it not only feels great, but also offers long-lasting results. “It actually feels like it’s reducing the lines! People compliment me all the time about how young I look.”

On his celebrity crush

“Rachel McAdams”, Travis reveals his crush on the Canadian actress, 31, with an adorable smile. “Not only is she really, really talented, but I’ve seen her a few times up close in person and she’s just as attractive on screen as she is personally.” Well, we heard that she is single again…

On his upcoming projects

Travis is currently being considered for other hit TV series, such as 24, Lost, CSI, and two other new productions. He also actively supports the On Deck Foundation (which helps underprivileged children) and other non-profit organizations to help make the world a better place.

Summer’s gone… but what did it leave on your face?!?

2009-10-12T09:05:00.000-07:00

Summer – We spend months in preparation, donning our sports bras, tank tops and shorts, jogging away the holiday goodies, break-up chocolates and work munchies.

Armed with towels, tanning lotion, and juicy beauty magazines, we set out to spend long days bathing on the beach -- if not the beach then the lake, or in dire desperation of some warm summer sun, we lay in our backyards on lawn chairs.

We enjoy a radiant summer glow for several months; but then the guilt and frustration sets in when we see just how much damage we have actually created on our skin.

Luckily, the HydraFacial can address the sun damages summer inflicts upon our skin: brown spots, uneven skin tone, dehydration, peeling, and irritation. It has a soothing feel that calms the skin and helps it heal, while removing the imperfections caused by excessive sun exposure. Now that summer has come to an end, it’s the perfect time to book a HydraFacial!
