The services: Finding ways to go non-surgical or non-procedure can be an endless
quest if you’re not in the know. Some tips for keeping dollars in your wallet and you out
of the dermatologists office are:
The Lip Job?
Yes, women are still flocking to doctors’ offices for major mouth. We’ve all seen our favorite celebrity’s
pucker get bigger overnight. Lip injections are common as outpatient procedures but are quite pricey
and can be very painful. We’ve found a lip plumper that really works and doesn’t have the cost or
discomfort associated with injections. LipFusion’s Infatuation Lip Fattener works immediately to
make lips look and feel fuller but it also, has long-term plumping effects by building collagen in lips.
Infatuation Lip Fattener comes in many shades so you can wear it as a gloss throughout the day for a
maximum big lipped experience!

Laser Hair Removal? How is this possible to do ourselves?
Last year the Tria Laser Hair Removal System for home use was introduced and women went wild!
Now, the people behind Tria have redesigned the cult-status hand held laser and made it more
affordable and with additional comfort settings. It employs the same diode laser technology used by
the professional. In fact the Tria Laser Hair Removal System was designed by the same doctors who
designed the professional version. The laser works in accordance with each individual’s skin tone by
utilizing a sensor that measures the melanin levels to determine how much of a pulse is needed for
each user. Even more genius than the previous version but it may seem steep in price- but ultimately
will save you triple-fold in the end since you can use it on multiple areas and not spend on doctor’s
office touch ups.

Dark Pigmentation on our skin? Does this require a laser treatment from a doctor or a harsh
hydroquinone cream?
No. first of all using a laser to remove dark pigmentation is not the end of your dark spot! These aging
splotches can resurface soon after treatment when exposed to something as standard as sunlight.
Hydroquinone has been a source for lightening, but this topical treatment has come under intense fire
for potentially dangerous side effects due to toxicity levels. Enter Lumixyl, a new topical treatment.
Developed by dermatologists at Stanford University, the peptide solution restrains tyrosinase, the
enzyme responsible for initiating the overproduction of melanin, which causes uneven pigmentation
and dark spots.

The Treatments: Professional brands can require a doctor’s office visit and can cost
serious dollars to get results. We’ve found some beauty elixirs and treatments that rival
the Pros’ brand with very similar if not better results!
Battling the Frizz and Static in hair? Do we need to buy the salon brand in order to deep condition
our hair at home?
When looking for hair care, and in this case I mean hair therapy, always look on the drugstore shelves
before searching for remedies in luxury brands. Hair care does not need to be expensive to work. In
fact Pantene’s Time Renewal Hair Mask is making a guarantee if you are not satisfied with this ultra
penetrating restoring mask- they will switch you back to your old brand. Time Renewal Mask repairs
without weighing your hair down. Less snapping and static are a result of perfectly conditioned hair
that you can see a visibly healthier looking result from.

Stop the weekly madness with your nails. If you find yourself getting a manicure or fill more often than
you’d like you do have options. Leading dermatologists have created the new Beauty Buzz item for
your nails. Go Nails is designed to lengthen, strengthen and condition nails naturally. Our office tried
the products and said after using over a week- once in the morning and once at night- their nails were
growing in even the harshest weather and stopped peeling altogether. Our intern Sarah said she
prefers not wearing a color since it restored natural bright colors to her nails. We are painting our
fingertips religiously!

The Quick Fix Facial?
You know when it happens, you wake up puffy and dehydrated and your skin looks like its aged with
just one night’s bad sleep! Enter the hydrating effects of DDF Restoring Night Serum. This little
bedtime booster is a potent elixir of anti-oxidants, caffeine, and mega moisture in a paraben-free- oil-
free serum. The quick fix results can be seen in as little as 8 hours, but with continued use the skin’s
surface has been reported to strengthen with a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. A dab will do you,
eh? (we tested the Night Serum and found skin did look much firmer and woke up to more color and
softness).

The Latisse trend? Is there a way to enhance our lashes without visiting the doctor’s office and
getting Latisse?
Yes ladies, there is and it is doesn’t have any of the side effects associated with Latisse. RapidLash
is a innovative paraben-free eyelash renewal serum that helps promote healthy, natural lashes and
brows. It’s proven to transform each strand at the lash line from thin, brittle or short lashes into thicker,
longer and shinier looking lashes. Rapid Lash is also great for improving the look of sparse
eyebrows and it is at a fraction of the cost of Latisse!
