Summer Break is over and kids from Kindergarten to College are going back to school. This is a breath of fresh air for many parents who are looking forward to some quiet time. It also allows for some more time to take care of the home necessities and even opens up the schedule for those beauty treatments that were neglected in the midst of the activities of summer. Here are some ideas for back to school celebration beauty and rejuvenation treatments for the face.
Botox
A Botox treatment is truly “in and out” within a lunch break and requires no downtime, so if you need to take your kids to soccer practice after school or help them set up their dorm room over the weekend, you can get Botox that day and you’re still good to go. By using a tiny amount of botulinum toxin type A that blocks the nerve signal to the muscle, Botox can smooth out frown lines, crow’s feet and brow wrinkles by caused by facial muscles in motion. Other popular treatment areas from the forehead down to the collarbone are those two vertical lines between the brows, nose furrows, smoker’s lines above the lips, and thick lines in the neck. This simple, safe injection can also prevents the formation of facial lines and wrinkles since those muscles won’t be moving to make the creases.
Juvederm
This injectable is a filler that smoothes out lines with hyaluronic acid that restores volume to the area. Perfect for eliminating those annoying parenthesis lines on the side of the nose and mouth. Juvederm is offered in a variety of formulas that offer greater versatility and varying depths of injection. The smooth gel allows for treatment of more difficult folds and less discomfort during treatments. This is another treatment on the go, so it won’t interfere with your family routine. Juvederm XC Ultra and Ultra Plus formulas can help smooth wrinkles for every skin tone and type, since they are the first FDA approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for safe, effective treatment that includes persons of color.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a little bit different than the previous injectables even though it can be done as a “no downtime,” “in and out” treatment, it isn’t intended to be an “overnight fix.” Sculptra is the only facial injectable that offers results that can last 2 years and possibly longer. It restores facial volume that works gradually and subtly by stimulating the body’s own collagen renewal for long lasting results that look natural.

The air is filled with sighs of relief from parents all over, as their children and grandchildren get settled into their school routines. This means there is time to complete those organization projects around the house, run errands peacefully, and even have some time for yourself. This precious “me time” can include a back to school beauty celebration to look rested, rejuvenated and more youthful going into the school year. Last time we focused on the “in and out” procedures for the face that can be fit in during the school day while your kids or grandkids are in school. Now I’ll talk about some exciting body procedures that offer big results without a recovery that takes you away from your family.
Kybella
While online tutorials can help you learn how to reduce the appearance of your double chin in pictures, it takes a little more than a special angle or pose in real life. Whether it’s genetics, aging or unwanted weight gain, no one likes to have fat accumulation along the jawline and upper neck that causes them to lose an attractive facial shape and definition. This pouch of submental fullness can be an area that is extremely difficult to get rid of with normal weight loss and exercise. Someone who is genetically predisposed might suffer from submental fullness even if they are extremely fit and trim everywhere else. Fortunately, Kybella is an effective, new non surgical treatment that destroys fat cells with no downtime. The injections of deoxycholic acid into the submental area help the body breakdown, absorb and flush away fat under the chin. Over a few weeks and usually with at least 2 treatments, these destroyed fat cells will disappear and you’ll have a more defined chin line… all without surgery or downtime!
SculpSure
Parents and Grandparents sometimes have difficulty taking time off for themselves, which means they need a fat reducing treatment that doesn’t take them out of their routine. Of all the non invasive, non surgical fat removal treatments, in my opinion, SculpSure is the best for producing noticeable results without any discomfort or downtime. This fat eliminating treatment uses laser technology that melts the fat and yet has a cooling feature so the surface of the skin stays within a comfortable range and is never damaged. It’s great for smoothing out the fat bulges from abdomen, love handles, saddle bags and inner thighs. It even tightens the skin in the process. This wonderful treatment is perfect for fighting fat in those stubborn areas around the body that just won’t go away with exercise and diet alone. Unlike surgery, you’re up and going right after the treatment, so you can get SculpSure and then pick your kids up from school like normal.
Feel great about your body going into your children or grandchildren’s new school year without missing a beat. Removing fat from under the chin or around the body has never been easier with the two non surgical options, Kybella and SculpSure.
