The Wonders of Medical Artistry
It’s a brand new year, there’s a big event on the horizon (your wedding!) and there’s no time like the present to start perfecting a new and improved you! Whether you are the bride, her sister, the mother of the bride or in the bridal party you want to look and feel your most beautiful, and maybe make a few years disappear very discreetly from your face.
Before you race out and find the cheapest injectables in town, or the closest medi-spa to your office, you need to understand who you are booking and why. You definitely don’t want a face that doesn’t move, or lips that look like they could double up as flotation devices. In the world of Medical Artistry the very best work goes un-noticed. The goal is to look divine, your most beautiful, radiant you, without anyone knowing you’ve been enhanced.
The Blume Skin Centre in Scottsdale has some of the very best technicians in the nation, and who are in fact national trainers for the companies who ma ke the products. They have an unparalleled understanding of beauty, of the muscular structure of the face, and are the brains behind the very best, most advanced techniques used to create a look that appears natural but is still exquisite.
Some of the options for a little under-the-radar enhancing are: Neuro-toxins such as Botox®, or the newest, most technologically advanced product in the category, Xeomin® (not available nationally until spring) is presently available at The Blume Skin Centre. The purpose is to temporarily stop the parts of the face that frown and squint from frowning and squinting, making fine lines and wrinkles disappear. It is essential however that your face can still make expressions, so you must go to an expert in the field.
Dermal Fillers are used to revolumize the face, and are the trade secret of models and movie stars alike.
Juvederm® is used to fill under the eyes in one of the most spectacular anti-aging techniques you’ll ever see, instantly erasing years. It is also considered the very best product to use for lip enhancement, giving a very natural look to the lip, filling in the pout, and redefining the lip border, which disappears as we age.
Radiesse® is the darling of facial revolumizers, adding back the lustrous density of youth that the face loses as we leave our twenties. It works miracles in conjunction with Juvederm lips, when used to lift the corners of the mouth, redefine the chin and even out texture around the jaw, chin and mouth.
Radiesse® is also used to diminish nasolabial lines (the parenthesis lines that go from your nose to your mouth) and to revolumize and fill cheeks, temples and brows. As we age the volume in our faces starts to disappear, the skin begins to sag. Radiesse® reverses this and the results are gorgeous, long lasting, and most importantly, look incredibly natural.
The Blume Skin Centre also has specialty programs for brides designed to get their skin ready for their big day through a series of facials, exfoliating treatments and bride specific skin treatments. You can find them on the web at www.blumeskintreatment.com or call them at 480-699-7999. Mention the Wedding Chronicle for special perks from the nice personnel at The Blume Skin Centre.
