Happy 4th of July!

HydraFacial is wishing you a happy and safe 4th of July!
And of course - don't forget the sunblock! =)

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

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.

Beta-HD™ Daily

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.

DermaBuilder Daily

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!

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

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!

Oscar Worthy Skin Care

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!
